CLEMENCEAU DEFIED.
French Civil Servants Organize Union
and Trouble MAY Follow.

Paris, May THE famous P. T. T.
that is, the Posts, Telegraphs & Tel
ephone Employees association-threw
down the gage of battle to the govern
ment today by Transforming itself into
syndicate or union under the law of
1884. This places the association on
the same footing with workmen's un-
ions with the right to strike.
This defiance, which is nothing short
of open revolt, came as sudden and
sensational sequel to Premier Clemen-
ceau's failure today to receive depu-
tation of postal employees, who called
to demand the redemption of promises
they say the government made when
the recent strike was declared off.
The government, which claims to be
prepared for any eventuality, it is con-
ceded must now act vigorously or abdi-
cate. The leaders of the movement
have no option but to declare a strike
the minute the government makes a
hostile turn. The entire country is
tremendously excited by the violent
agitation to which it has been subject
ed for months, and fears are entertain
ed that whirlwind may be unclaimed.
There are even intimations that the
monarchist and other reactionaries are
furnishing funds to stir up revolution
in the hope of imposing new regime.

WOOL CLIP GOOD.
Mitchell Growers Say Quality is Bet
ter Than Usual.

-Woolgrowers in this local
ity report that the season which is just
closing has been the most favorable for
lambing for many years. The weather
has not only been ideal but the range
grass was more abundant than usual,
which fact enables the ewes to start
the sucking period with plenty of nour-
ishment. All the sheepmen report that
the crop of 1909 lambs will go beyond
the 100 per cent mark. Shearing will
start here about May 10, although
those who have yearlings and mutton
sheep contracted for early driving are
just commencing to shear them. The
wool this year is of better quality
than usual, and the prices are likewise.
Farmers of this section are beginning
to complain of drouth and cold north
winds. Fall sown grain is not doing
so well as it should and the spring
sown crops will need moisture to in
sure a good stand. A larger acreage
has been sown to grain this year than
in former years and all concerned re-
gret that the weather should remain so
unfavorable.
While the weather has such back
ward effect on the crops, it is pleasing
to know that the range is abundantly
supplied with the finest crop of grass
that the stockmen could desire. All
classes of stock are in fine condition,
and prospects point to favorable
grazing season. No cattle or horses
are moving on the market at present,
but G. L. Frizzell, of Girds creek, will
drive 800 head from this county to
Toppenish, WASH, via Arlington, about
the middle of the month.

BIG SHEEP.MOvEMENT.
Great Activity Reported Around PEN
dleton by Secretary Smythe.

Pendleton-Secretary Dan T. .Symthe,
of the State Wool Growers association,
reports great activity in the movement
of sheep in this section and several
large sheep sales during the past few
days. One of the largest of these sales
is reported from the vicinity of Airing
ton, where between 10000 and 25, 600
head of yearlings have been shipped to
outside markets. The sale price re-
ceived for the mixed yearling weathers
ranged from So to $4 per head, as COM
pared with the prices of from $2.75 to
1925 received for the same grades last
year. The buyers are Wright of North
Yakima and R. F. Bicknell and Scott
Anderson, who will ship to Idaho.
Sheep shearing in Umatilla county
will last for perhaps two weeks yet,
though some of the earlier shearers
have already finished their seasons
clipping. Results from the shearing
plants prove that the earlier prophecy
of good clips for this year is proving
as predicted. The feeces are found to
be unbroken and the staple good, due
largely to the early grass and the bet
ter than common condition of the sheer
because of the close winter.
The lambing season for Umatilla
county will last but few days longer,
though it will not close quite so soor
up in the foothills of the county. The
increase this year in the county will be
above 95 per cent, with the total near.
er the lower figure. The increase il
Umatilla county will approach the
maximum this year because of the ex
ceptionally good weather conditions
The winter left the sheep fatter thar
usual, due to the regularity of the snow
conditions and the plentifulness of hay
Then the grass came early in the
spring keeping the fat of the sheep W
and adding more. The lambing season
proper has found the weather condi
tions especially good again. Those
who chanced winter lambing report al
especially good increase.

FAIR is COMPLETE.
AIa:ska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Will
Start on Time.

AIaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Will
Start on Time.
Seattle's two expositions ore just
about ready for the bell tap. The
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition is
ninety-nine per cent, complete, which
means that everything is done save
sweeping the floors, and the other ex-
position, which consists of the most
magnificent scenery and the longest
list of interesting tours boasted by any
American city, is always ready.
Railroad experts the country over
declare that the success of the A. Y. P.
is already assured, but for this fact
they do not give the whole credit to
either the management or the publi-
city campaign. On the contrary, they
declare that the imminent influx into
the Northwest is due more largely to
Northwestern resources and home pos
sibilities and to Northwestern and
Alaskan scenery and romance, more
than to any other power Of attraction.
Nightly now the exposition grounds
are lighted for the enjoyment of the
pre-exposition crowds which. daily go
the to grounds. For weeks the attend
anceh as averaged close upon 5000.
If special free days were counted it
would be a larger figure than this. A
cold spring somewhat delayed the first
flush of the floral effects, which are on
huge scale, but warm May days have
brought out the blooms.
Practically all of the exhibits are in
stalled in the Manufactures building
and in the Oriental and European build
ings. The installation in the Palace
of Agriculture is somewhat slower but
will not be behind at the right mo.
ment. The government exhibits are
we'll along with the exception of the
Hawaiian and Philippines exhibits,
which arrived late. However, they
will be complete to the last detail by
June /.
Most of the foreign exhibits are il
place and those that are not are receiv
ing the finishing touches.
And while work is being pushed rap
idly ahead on the exposition proper
arrangements are going forward jus
as fast that the visitor may take ad
vantage of the Second exposition.
New steamships are arriving daily TO
excursion trips to various point
around the sound and along the coast
The numerous resorts in the Cascad,
mountains are close at hand either b.
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
Burlington or Milwaukee railroads an
the Canadian Pacific takes one quickly

dian Rockies.

BANKS KEEP ABDUL'S FUNDS
Refuse to Give Them Up on Demand
of Young Turks.

Vienna, May 6.-The Bank of Eng
land which holds the largest portion of
Abdul Hamid's wealth, refuses point
blank to deliver up the ex-sultan's cash
at the demand of the Young Turks COM
mittee. French, German and Italian
banks likewise refuse. Meanwhile the
committee is trying every possible
means to force Abdul Hamid into sign
ing checks in their favor for all his
money, but this procedure is already
attracting the attention of the powers.
1t is well known that the czar of Rus
sia, kings of Italy and Greece, and 9TH
er monarchs have placed large sums in
the Bank of England in order to secure
depots outside their own countries with
view of possible contingencies. That
such sums should be escheated at mo-
ment when misfortune against which
it was intended to provide should come,
afford very unfortunate precedent.

Brush Fires in British Columbia
Sweep All in Path.
Two Big SAWMILLS Are BURNED
Many Settlers Homeless and Com
PEELED to Flee for Their Lives
Before Fierce Flames.

Kamloops, B. c., May 6.-Hundreds
of thousands of dollars in property was
destroyed and scores of ranchers forced
to flee for their lives as the result of a
disastrous brush fire that swept the
country from Notch Hill as far east as
Three Valley, and south from Sicamous
as far as Vernon.
Among the losses are two large saw
mills, both of which were totally con-
sumed in the wall of flame that swept
over the land. The big Carlin mill,
located between Tappens siding and
Notch Hill, was wiped out, with loss
of $500 as was also the Carrigan
mill on Salmon river, valued at $685.
900. Several of the millhands had to
flee for their lives.
Three large brush fires had been
burning for several days and terrific
gale soon brought them into contact
with each other.
Barns and houses fell prey to the
fire and many head of cattle were lost,
while many settlers had to leave every
thing and hasten to save their lives.
While it is impossible to estimate
the tot losses, it is known they will
reach nearly half million dollars in
the vicinity of Salmon Arm.
In the Mara district the loss will be
heaviest, as scores of ranch properties
were completely devastated.
On the main line of the Canadian
Pacific the fences and the telegraph
lines were destroyed for nearly 20
miles, and telegraph communication
between Revelstoke and Kamloops was
cut off for hours.

STATES MAY LOSE.
Appropriations for Rivers and Har-

Appropriations for Rivers and Har-
bors May Revert to Government.
Washington, May 10.-Unless con-
gress takes specific action at the spec
ial session now in progress, nearly ST.
900. 900 appropriated for river and har-
Dor improvements in various sections
of the United States will be turned
back into the national treasury, much
to the chagrin of many congressman
and senators.
This situation arises over the "cov-
ering back" section of the sundry civil
bill, approved March A. This section
provides that all unexpended balances
of appropriations that remained on the
treasury books June !, 1904, except
permanent specified appropriations,
judgments and findings of courts anC
trust funds and appropriations for full
filling treaty obligations with the In
dians be carried to the surplus fund anc
covered back into the treasury, "pro
vided that the money is not needed tc
pay existing treaties"
10 meet the situation, Senator Burtof
has introduced resolution providing
that the section of the sundry civil bill
in question shall not be construed as
applying to the unexpended balances il
river and harbor appropriations which
may be essential, in the judgment OF
the secretary of war, for the mainten
ance and prosecution of the work fol-
which it was appropriated.
Among the appropriations that will
revert are:
Mouth of Columbia river, Oregon
S24, 900; entrance to Coos bay, Oregon
$2S, 900; restraining barriers Sacra
mento and Feather rivers, California
$l4, 900; and harbor at Tacoma, Wash

ACCIDENT IN SEATTLE.
Rail of Balcony Snaps. Throwing 500
People to Floor.

TCOPiO " tiOOis
Seattle, WASH, May TN full view
of the throng witnessing the great in
door meet of the Seattle Athletic club
at the new armory last night, at the
close of the Marathon race, the balcony
rail gave way and precipitated fully
300 persons to the floor beneath. At
least so are seriously injured, and some
may die.
Instantly the throng became panic
stricken with horror at the sight, but
soon collected itself and began the
work of assisting those who lay crush
ed and bleeding on the floor. Ambu-
lances and physicians were quickly
summoned, and those who could be
moved were sent to hospitals.
The accident occurred at the close of
the Marathon race, with the contest
ants neck and neck at the finish line,
which was directly beneath the bal
cony. 1t was to see the finish of this
event that the crowd leaned over the
balcony when the rail broke, precipi-
tating 300 people to the cement floor
Is feet below.
The accident was due to the collapse
of the iron railing at the end of the
balcony. The hollow iron railing was
on the outside instead of the inside OF
the iron rods that support the balcony.
When the railing gave way more thar
300 of the spectators on that side Of
the building plunged head foremost to
the floor below.
So far were the people leaning out
over the balcony that when the railing
gave way practically every one in the
balcony in that vicinity was sweep
overheard.
Both city police patrols and every
available ambulance in the city, to
gether with scores of private automo
biles and scores of physicians hurried
to the scene. A squad of polio,
clubbed their way into the crowd ant
made way for the people to assist tn,
injured to the waiting ambulances ant
automobiles, which hurried them t.
the hospitals.

Notwithstanding the presence of troops
here, the situation is desperate because
of the lack of food and medical sup
plies. The troops arrived just in time
as the besiegers had succeeded in set
ting fire to house on the edge of the
city. The fire spread, but as the
breeze was blowing away from town,
only five buildings We're destroyed. A
heavy rifle fire was kept up against
those who tried to extinguish the
flames. The Mohammedans carried off
all the cattle outside the city.

Southern Pacific company, with the OBJ
ject of compelling the corporation to
provide adequate facilities for loading
cars at Oregon City. 1t is stated that
the complainants are unable to in
crease their business and market their
products because of the failure of the
Southern Pacific company to afford ia
cilities for loading lumber in car loads.
The lumbermen ask for an investiga-
tion by the State Railroad commission
and it is probable that time will be
set for hearing at Oregon City in the
near future.
