Adopt Spanish Industry.

Pasadena, Cal, Feb. 2.-Through
experiments just completed, Cali
fornia should come into S2,000,O0O
industry that is now enjoyed by
Spain as one of her chief winter ex-
ports. 1t is the growing, storage
and marketing of choice varieties of
grapes, which hitherto has belonged
to the Castillians.
For four years, experts of the de-
partment of agriculture have been
experimenting with the preserving of
grapes at the plant of the Pasadena
Ice Company Varieties have been
subjected to every conceivable con-
lition of temperature and time. The
result shows that by scientific
method of packing and storing,
choice species can be grown here in
the summer, kept as long as neces-
sary and placed on the market in
perfect condition.

THE TAX MIDDLE.

The tax muddle caused by the de-
cision of the supreme court that the
plan of apportioning the state tax
among the counties in ratio to
county expenses, is unconstitutional,
will be cured by the emergency law
passed last Thursday. The equaliza-
tion board created by it will meet
Wednesday of this week and attempt
to apportion the tax according to the
true valuation.
If the board accepts the returns by
the various assessors as the true val
uation, Wa'lowas proportion of the
state tax will be increased over six
thousand dollars, and, for example
Unions will be decreased $4,000.
The reason is just this: A lot of
Office holders in Oregon have vio-
lated their oath Of office. The
n emDers of the county courts and
the assessors of Wallowa and Union
counties took the same oath of office
They swore they would have the
property in their respective counties
assessed at its true cash valuation
This was done in Wallowa county by
the court and Assessor Pace. who
think 1t Is dishonorable to break ar
oath to obey the law.
In Union 1t seems to be different
Union with twice the population of
allowa has less assessed valuation
No one in La Grande would admit 70
an instant but that Unions true valu
alton Is two and a half or three
times that of Wallowa.
Union is a type of most Ore.
gon counties, though a few returned
true valuations like this county. A
few prosecutions for violations of
oaths Of office is in order.
The board to sit Wednesday has
the power to go back Of the assess.
ors' returns and by other evidence
get at the respective true valuations
II Is to be hopel 1t will make a
thorough job of it, and in Its report
show up the dishonest courts and
assessors-for man who violates
an oath Of Office is dishonest.

A Common Cold,

We claim that IL catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard of. A cold often
forms culture bed for germs of
infectious diseases. Consumption
pneumonia, diphtheria, and scarlet

and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the germs
of these diseases, that would not

A bill requiring timber to be cruis
ed for assessment purposes has
passed the house, but is held up in
the senate. 1t will likely be killed
In committee as all "the big timber
companies are opposing It," The
initiative will cure that old. familiar
legislative disease. Ortons bill to
tax corporations is also reported
Killed. II was intended to levy a just
tax on interests now escaping taxa

beneficiaries of the state, and would

If timber lands had been assessed
at their true valuation in this coun-
ty, and every individual had given
to the assessor all his property, the
tax levy would have been under 10
mills. The difference between what
IL would have been and what it is,
1875 mills, is what the honest man
is paying to make up for the
other fellows.

SEEK HIGHER DUTY G:l HOPS
Western Growers to ASK for Double
Charge.

San Francisco, Feb. Ito secure
relief for the hop industry of the Pa
cific Coast from foreign competition,
E. c. Horst, of San Francisco, and
Herman Klaber, of Portland, Or,
will make another plea to the ways
and means committee of Congress
for an increase in the duty on the
foreign product. Foreign hops at
present pay ~ cents a pound duty,
and an increase to "a cents is
sought.
The plight of the hopgrowers is
pictured as desperate. The produc-
tion in this country has fallen off in
the last three years nearly so per
cent, while the importations have
nearly trebled. For the last three
years, it is said, the American grow
er has not received for his hops the
cost of their production; and in Cal
ifornia, Oregon and Washington hop
fields are everywhere being aban-
doned and thousands of acres of
hops plowed up.

THE AiNTIC0KE HELD UP E OH UNKNOWN EVIDENCE
1t Is Only Known That She Is Sus- pected of FiIibustering Intentions.

Nashingtin, June 14.-EffOrts to as certain the nature of the evidence on which the steamer NanticOke is de- tained failed to meet with official re- sponse. The fact that the vessel is re- ported to be loaded only with coal which cannot be regarded as contra band in any sense, led to the inquiry as to the ground for detention.
 All that could be learned was that the state department requested the de- partment of justice to investigate cer- tain allegations, (possibly by the Ven ezuelan legation here) that the Nanti- coke was engaged in an illegal enter prise The department of justice dis covered enough matter to warrant the temporary detention of the Nanticoke, though the officials decline to reveal the nature of discoveries.
 In view of the alleged unseaworthy condition of the ship it has been sus- pected that perhaps she is being used as a blind and that while the attention of the officials is directed towards her, the real shipment of arms to Vene- zuela will be made from another port than Edenton.

Morse asks for @ new trial and that he be admitted to bail pending a second hearing. He was not in court.
 Martin W. Littleton, Morse's coun- sel, declared that Morse was wrong fully indicted and convicted in defi- ance of his rights as a citizen. Dis cussing the loan of $114,000 made to John E. Carroll by the National Bank of North America, Littleton said that the government had never shown the real value of the 4,000 shares of stock of the American Ice company, which was given as security by Mir. Carroll
 Summing up the entire group of loans made by the bank on the Amer ican Ice company stock, MT. Littleton contended that no evidence had been presented that in any instance was there intent to injure or defraud the bank The hearing was not completed when court adjourned.

AMERICAN WOMEN NEVER FL|NCHED

The Courage and Goodness When Be-

Manila, June 1.-The courage and cOolness under fire of the American women at Davao during the siege of the convent in which all Americans were gathered during the mutiny of June 9th, when a company of the Philippine constabulary at that post revolted, is the subject of warm praise in a private message received today from Davao, which contains further details of the affair.
 After the attack on the barracks, which fell into the hands of the mutt neers, all the Americans of the post and sixteen native eonstabulary who remained loyal. gathered in the con vent and repulsed the assaults of the mutineers. The women remained cool and unafraid during the defense of the building and assisted the men in every way possible.
 Captain Allen Walker of the Phil ippine scouts. governor of DavaO prov ince, was slightly wounded during the attacks on the church. The pur- suit of the twenty-th three mutineers who retired to the mountains when their assaults upon the convent prov ed unavailing. has already commence ed. The mutineers are of the Visayan tribe and two companies of the Moro .constabulary will join in the pur- suit later.

RELIES ON TREATY RIGHT
Editor of JTi Formally Com plains to Tokio That Docu- ments discriminating Him WereDscoveredandTake T aken Without Process of Law.

Honolulu, June 1.-The situation grand jury of seventeen leaders in the strike of the Japanese plantation la bOrers was given an international turn today when M. Negoro, of the editorial staff of the Jiji, the local Japanese publication, who was taken into GUS tOdy when the offices of the paper were raided last Friday. made formal complaint to the Japanese foreign of flee at Tokio of a violation of his treaty rights. This alleged violation of his rights as a Japanese subject guaranteed under the treaty between the United States and Japan he sets forth in his complaint, consists in the search of his office and the seizure of his private papers by the territorial authorities without due process of law.
 Territorial Sheriff William Henry admits that the search and seizure was made by force of arms and without search warrants or process of law but he claims that the papers seized con tained evidence of a criminal purpose, but declares that the courts of the ter ritory are open to Negoro for redress if he has been damaged
 Negoro was reassured today togeth- CT with '. Soga. Y. Tasaka and K. Kawamura of the editorial staffs of the Nippu and the Jiji upon indict- ments charging them with conspiracy by indirect. sinister and unlawful methods of melting to riot and threat ening violence to prevent and hinder the Honolulu, Aohu. Eva, Wailuwa, and Kahkuhua plantations from carry ing on their business
 Strikers today attacked and serious ly stabbed a Japanese restaurant keep CT at Kahana for refusing to furnish them any longer with food. The place is difficult of access. but the sheriff has started for the scene to make an investigation. At no other points on the island quiet reigns and no news of any disturbance had been received up to noon today
 Most of the Japanese have returned to work on the Eva and Wailuwa plantations and there are full forces of strikebreakers on the Honolulu and Oahu plantations It is reported from Hilo that the Japanese there have se- lected a delegation to come to this city and join in the formal demand upon the planters association for an in crease in wages to one dollar a day

 L. P. Pritchard, brother of Cor nelius Pritchard, whom Dr. Newman killed seven weeks ago, was arrested charged with complicity in the trag- edy. The killing of Pritchard by Newman was the first blood shed in a feud that existed between the two men, their relatives and friends, for months The bitter factionalism had its inception in a political campaign in which Newman and Pritchard were opposing candidates. Newman was tried few weeks ago for Pritchard's murder and acquitted.
 The fight occurred almost on the same spot where Pritchard was slain. It is doubtful who fired the shot.

 The Shawmut car left Laramie sev- eral hours ahead of the Ford car, but it is said here that the crew of the Shawmut had no permit to use the railroad bridge at Fort Steele and the wagon bridge over the river is inn passable.
