 DIES OF INJURIES
Miss Minnie Reed, Who Lost Father and Two Brothers at Brinkley, Suc. cumbs on Ambulance Cot.

Little Rock. March 12.-One of the storm victims brought in from Brink ley, Miss Minnie Reed, died at 3:10 this morning at St. Vincent's Infirm- ary on the cot from Healey & Roth's ambulance, from which she had not been removed on account of the near ness of death when she arrived at the hospital last night.

said Mr.. Eccles. land predict there
will be great rush of people to the
interior of Alaska, as the hardships of
the trail that many have had to face
and that have deferred countless num-
bers from going into the interior, will
be removed by the opening of the new
road. The same vegetables and agri-
cultural products that can be raised in
Norway and Sweden can be raised in
Alaska. The country will be fully ex-
plotted once the new road is in opera
tion."
Mr.. Eccles says that his company
will build a 50-mile railroad to open
gold fields as soon as title to the land
is received from the government.

IMPORTANT RULE MADE.
Canada May Control Roads Starting
in United States.

in United States.
Ottawa, Ont, June 29.-An import
ant judgment has been handed down by
the board of railway commissioners for
Canada. By this decision Canada may
rule railway systems originating in the
United States. The case decided was
that of the Dawson board of trade,
which complained of excessive rates on
the White Pass & Yukon railroad. The
company replied as only part of its
system was in Canadian territory the
Canadian board had no Jurisdiction.
The chairman of the board, ex-Judge
Mabee, in a carefully drawn judgment,
disposes of this theory altogether.
The conclusion reached is that the
board has jurisdiction over the tolls
the company or companies may be en-
titled to charge on through traffic re-
ceived at Skagway or that district to
White Horse or any other intermediate
point between the international bound
ary between Alaska and British Co
lumbia and White Horse upon the rail-
way lines, and upon through traffic re-
ceived at any point upon the railway
line between White Horse and the
boundary, destined to Skagway.

May Take CIea- Title.

Washington, June 26.--Under an or
der just issued by Secretary Ballinger
settlers on all government irrigation
projects may make full payment for
tieir water rights as soon as they fully
comply with the requirements of the
law as to residence, cultivation and ir-
rigation. Heretofore final payment
for building charges could not be made
until five years after water was turned
on. This makes it easier for settlers
with money to get absolute title to the
land, especially settlers who went on
the land before water was ready.

Will Rid Indian Service of Incompe-
tent Agents.
Chicago, June 2S.-Secretary r. A..
Ballinger, the "big chief" of the De-
partment of the Interior, sharpened his
long knife and tomahawk today while
he was in Chicago, to 60 after the
scalps of large number OF Indian
agents on the reservations in the West.
He spent the greater portion OF the
day with Frank Sorenson, superintend-
ent of the Indian warehouse, and then
announced that he was getting ready
to rid the Indian agencies of numerous
incompetent hands.
He made no secret of the fact that
he is cheap brave" and is going on
the warpath to burn the red tape OF the
department. He laid the foundation
for his campaign in long conference
with Mr.. Sorenson, making detailed
inquiries into the manner of conduct
ing business with agents and inspected
the stock of goods on hand which are
being shipped daily by carloads to the
reservations.
Secretary Ballinger said tonight that
he was going to make radical changes
in the manner of conducting Indian
affairs in the West.
II am not afraid to cut away the red
tape when | see that it is hampering
the work of the department,' said
Mr.. Ballinger. 81 think the principal
difficulty IS with the incompetent
agents. They are not unscrupulous,
but it takes good business men and
men who understand the manners OF
the Indians to deal with them.
Secretary Ballinger left late tonight
for Kansas.

are cooperating with the mosquito
fleet under Captain Signor. Thirty-one
of the band have been killed or captur-

himself always manages to evade cap
ture. The several cavalry detachments
are still in pursuit and expect to capt
ure or exterminate the outlaws.

BIDS CALLED FOR
ON NATR0N ROAD
Hartman to Build 60 Miles Of Now
Line at Once.
Oregon Eastern When Completed Will
Be Main Line of Southern Pac tic
Start From Both Ends and BAL
ance of Line Will Be Finished in
Near Future.

Portland, June 26.-Bids for the con-
struction of 59.4S miles of the Oregon
Eastern railroad, projected from Ma
tron to klamath Falls, will be received
in the Southern Pacific offices at San
Francisco during the next two weeks.
OF that mileage, 34.24 miles will be
constructed southeasterly from Natron,
while the remaining 1924 miles will
be built in a northwesterly direction
from klamath Falls.
Bids for the construction of the kla-
math Falls end of the extension must.
be submitted on or before June 30.
Contractors, however, are allowed until
July 10 to submit proposals for build
ing the 81 miles of the track from Ma
tron, the present northern terminus of
the projected road. Local Hartman
officials will make no estimate of the
probable cost of building the two sec
tions of this railroad, but it is believed
the improvement will involve an ex-
penGiture of approximately So, 225, 600.
The two extensions, aggregating
about 60 miles, for which bids have
been asked, cover about one-third Of
the length Of the proposed road, which,
according to the approved survey, will
be 1886 miles in length from Klamath
Falls to Natron.
The action of Hartman in calling
for bids for extending this road by be-,
ginning work simultaneously at Ma
tron and klamath Falls is accepted as
conclusive evidence of his determina-
tion to complete its construction. 1t
is figured that to build the 60 miles of
track for which bids have been invited
will practically exhaust the appropria-
tion that has been made for this road
for the ensuing year. For that reason
additional appropriations for further
extensions are looked for next year.
There can be no question of the ulti-
mate purpose of Hartman to complete
this road between Natron and klamath
Fails. Completion of the extensions
for which proposals have been asked
cannot in themselves add materially to-
the value of the property. By extend
ing the road 25 miles northerly from
klamath Falls, the northern terminus
of the southern extension would reach
only into the heart of klamath county.
The con struction of an additional 35
miles southerly from Natron would
terminate the road from this end in a
mountainous and sparsIy settled dis
trict.
For these reasons it is patent from
practical business consideration that
the Hartman interests will complete
the road as soon as possible and place
the investment on revenue-earning
basis. The primary purpose in project
ing this road was to provide for the
Southern Pacific a better grade for
crossing the state and thereby avoid
the more difficult passage now followed
over the Siskiyou mountains. When
completed, the Oregon Eastern un-
doubtedly will become the main line for,
the Southern Pacific between Portland
and San Francisco.

HINTS FOR FRUIT SHIPPERS.

to Pack for Shipment.
Washington Representative Haw-
ley has received the following letter
from the secretary of agriculture in
response to recent recommendation
on behalf of the shippers of apples,
pears, peaches, prunes, grapes and
other fruits grown in Oregon:
"Your esteemed favor of the 10th
instant is at hand, requesting that a
competent man be assigned to Oregon
for the purpose of teaching the people
of that state how to ship various kinds
Of perishable fruits. This department
is carrying on extensive Investigations
along this line in different parts of this
country, and it has been our desire for
some time to extend the work in the
extreme Northwest, but up to this
time we have not been able to do so.
G. Harold Powell, who is in charge of
the fruit transportation and storage in
vestigations, is planning to take trip
to Washington and Oregon during the
present summer in order to become ac-
.quainted with the problems of this ma
ture that need developing in those
states. 1t is Mr.. Powell's intention to
visit Oregon on this trip.
"It will not be possible to cary on
definite Investigations in the North
west during the present summer, but
can assure you that our Investigations
will be extended to that section just as
soon as it can be done."

DYNAMITE STOPS PHONES.
Heavy Explosion Jars Business Part
of Chicago.

OF Chicago.
Chicago, June 29.-An explosion
supposed to have been caused by dyna-
mite did great damage in the business
district tonight, injured two or three
persons severely, and wrecked stores
and windows for block near Clark
and Washington streets.
The exact nature of the explosion Is
unknown, because of the great amount
of debris thrown about the alley where
it occurred. The police think it an
other in the series of gamblers war
bombs that have mystified detectives
for more than two years.
The scene of the explosion was in
an alley in the rear of the central tele-
phone exchange. The Chicago Tele-
phone company was unable to do any
more business during the night. Two
restaurants facing on Clark street
were blown practically into the streets,
food being scattered over the car
tracks.
In this alley also was the rear en-
trance to Powers & Lambert's saloon,
headquarters for Martin B. Madden
and his associates in the building
trades. Madden and his men are tigur-
ing largely in labor disputes at pres
ent, and have been the subject OF grand
jury indictments.
Another place opening into the alley
which was badly damaged, was the
cash register store of Mont Tenness,
who is alleged to conduct several gamb-
ling places. Tenness' place has been
raided frequently by the police. An
other bomb was exploded there a year

BLOCKS GROWING OF BEETS.
Lack of Railroads Prevents Oregon
From Becoming Sugar State.


Washington, June 28.-According to
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, lack of transportation facili-
ties in Oregon is seriously retarding
the development of the beet sugar in
dustry in that state. Oregon today has
but one beet sugar factory-that at
La Grande. Capital has been looking
over the Eastern Oregon field and sew
eral localities have been found where
the growing of sugar beets on a large
scale would prosper if there were ade-
quate facilities for getting the beets
to a factory. But the almost utter
lack of railroad transportation is an
obstale too great to be overcome in
most instances. The department re-
port indicates that there is prospect of
the installation of sugar factory at
Enterprise, though no details are given
and the whole matter is still undecided.
Washington, like Oregon, has but a
single sugar factory at tn 8 time.
That one is at Waverly. There are a
number of places in Eastern Washing
ton, however, where the building of
sugar factories is seriously contemplate
ed, among them North Yakima, Spo-
kane and Thorp. The department re-
ports that companies have been formed; /;
in some cases contracts have been
made with the farmers to grow sugar
beets; considerable capital has been
subscribed; concessions have heen
tentatively secured from towns, such
as free building sites, remission of
taxes for period of years and other
privileges. All these projects are
simply awaiting development or more
opportune conditions.

Chicago, June 28.-The declaration
of DR.. Robert Lincoln Watkins that
t tuberculosis is disease of the blood
and can be cured and is not infectious
or contagious was combated by several
members of the American Electric
Medical association. "The disease de-
velopes inside the body" said DR..
Watkins. "How will sanitation and
fresh air stamp it out when internal
sanitation is neglected? Fresh air is
all right, but people are still dying
from tuberculosis and having plenty of
fresh air."

BattIeship's Guns En- Route.

Salem-Secretary A. F. Hofer, of
the board of trade, has received the
bill of lading for two of the six inch
guns of the battleship Oregon, pre-

Navy department, and which will be
mounted on the capitol lawn. The two
guns weigh more than ton. They
are part of the armament carried by
the battleship Oregon when she made
her famous cruise around Cape Horn,
prior to and just preceding the Span
ish- American war and which have been
taken from the battleship recently
when it was overhauled and rearmed
at the Bremerton navy yard.
