Billiards After Gales.

Chicago, May 1.-Whie the process
sion of tornadoes that swept from the
Great Lakes down the Mississippi val
ley to the Gulf of Mexico spread untold
ruin in its path, on the edges of the
meteorological disturbance there was
experienced a different kind of disaster.
Heavy SHOWS and blizzards are report
ed from both the east and west borders
of the disturbed area, and winter con-
ditions prevail in Pennsylvania, the
Northern lake states and the more
Westerly states of Wyoming, Montana,
Colorado and Northern Texas.
Anywhere up to foot of snow has
been reported from these states, with
billiards of the widest winter kind
raging in the North and West. Ire
meEdous damage has been done to early
small fruit crops, and the apple crop is
also reported seriously injured. Aside
from this, great suffering has been ex-
perienced on the sheep and cattle rang
es, and many animals have already sue
cumbed to the violence of the weather.
Freezing and zero weather is report
ed at many points, and the Sc
verest of conditions prevail. On the
lakes great suffering has resulted,
though the high winds that preceded
the colder weather have apparently
broken up the ice and liberated many
blockaded vessels, thus alleviating to a
certain degree the hai dships of the lake

Seaboard Cities Suffer Severely as
Hurricane Passes Out to Sea.
Atlanta, Ca, May 3.-The storm
which for three days has swept east
ward across the Southern states, passed
over the Atlantic ocean Saturday. At
least 200 were killed and perhaps 400
injured. News of 81 more deaths in
Georgia were received today.
At Savannah the storm tore throgugh
the old town, unroofed many houses
and destroyed much property.
Towns in North Carolina and Florida
suffered devastation. The casualty
list will be incomplete for several days
Property worth probably several million
dollars was destroyed.
The southwestern section of Savan-
nah was struck at II 80 o'clock Satur-
day by severe storm which uprooted
trees, unroofed houses, tore down fences
and injured several people.
The McKane hospital for negroes
was badly damaged. A factory was
unroofed and one man badly injured.
The storm lasted not more than half
a minute.

Atlanta, Ca, May AT least rs
persons killed and three times that
number injured and damages amount
ing to perhaps $1,000, 000-this is the
toll collected by succession of lorna
does which swept portions of Missis-
sippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama
and Missouri Thursday and Friday.
Wires are down throughout the
stricken districts and only fragmentary
reports of the tornadoes can be gath
cred. 1t is feared that the damage and
loss of life will be even greater than
indicated tonight.
Hundreds are homeless and distress
is widespread.
An exact list of the dead and an ac-
curate estimate of the monetary loss
may not be completed for many days,
but from all along the path of the
storm come tales of fearful loss of life
and whole towns and villages are COM
pletely wiped out
The storm wave seems to have had
its origin in the North, and swept from
the Lake region south in irregular
fashion,.

WAR VERY COSTLY.
Next Session of Peace Conference
Will Hear Interesting Report.


Chicago, May 3.-Amazing statistics
will be presented to the National Peace
society, which convenes here today, by
Benjamin F. Trueblood, secretary of
the American Peace society. In re-
port compiled for distribution among
the delegates it is asserted that 49,
900, 900 persons have sacrificed them
selves in wars since the beginning of
authentic history.
"This vast number of victims, says
Mr.. Trueblood, "is about equal to all
the people who inhabited the globe for
the last 600 years, allowing three gen.
erations to the century and $50, 900, 900
estimated population of the world at
the opening of the Nineteenth century
as the average population per genera
tion.
"The usual estimate of the number
of men lost in the wars in the Nine
teenth century, including those who
died of wounds and diseases, places it
at ID, 4,000,0O0 Of this number the
Napoleonic campaigns are responsible
for about six million.
Losses in the American Civil war
have been variously estimated at from
800, 900 to 1000, 900 men. The brief
war between Prussia, Austria and Italy
in 1866 entailed loss of as, 600 men,"

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
NEW IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Plans Perfected for Watering Land
in Upper willamette Valley.

Plans Perfected tor watering Iano
in Upper willamette Valley.
Eugene-Plans are perfected for
bringing under irrigation the extensive
valley lands between the Willamette
and the Lower Mckenzie rivers. The
tract lies just across the Willamette
from Eugene and adjacent to Spring
field. 1t comprises some 80, acres
of unusually deep and we'll drained
Willamette valley soil.
The problem of securing water for
this area was solved through the util-
ization of Clear and Fish lakes, at the
source of the Mckenzie, as storage
reservoirs. The water accumulated in
these lakes during the winter months,
through dams placed at their outlets,
will in the summer seas son be taken out
of the Mckenzie at Hendricks bridge,
some nine miles above Springfield,
where the foothills merge into the
level of the valley. The rapid fall of
the river at this point and its rocky
banks there make it possible without
the expense of dam to lead out a
canal to an excellent power site and
have the water from the tail race eX-
actly in position for the irrigation of
the magnificent expanse of the valley
below. 1t is this combination of power
plant and irrigation system right at
the doors of rapidly growing urban
that has won support for
this pioneer project.

SEARCH ON FOR ABDUL'S CASH
Reported to Have Kept Much Money
Hidden in Palace.

Constantinople, May 4.-The treas
ures of the palace of Yildiz are being
inventoried by a parliamentary com
mission. Abdul Hamid took the open
hilly pastures 80 years ago, gradually
transformed them into gardens, among
which he constructed pavilions for him
self, his wives. his children and the
palace favorites He gathered there
an immense variety of objects of art
and luxury, services of silver and gold.
French and Oriental carpets, Greek
sculptures taken from the museums of
Constantinople, presents of most of the
sovereigns of Europe and gifts from
wealthy subjects.
Search is being made for the boards
of cash which Abdul Hamid is reported
always to have had on hand. He has
also great sums invested abroad.
None, however, has been found as yet,
although the ex-sultan must have had
at least few hundred thousand pounds
in the domestic exchequer.

COAL FAMINE IN CANADA.
Only Fuel Mined Is Being Sent To
United States.

Only Fue' mined is 6eng sent o
United States.
Winnipeg, Man., May 1.-The coal
strike situation in Western Canada is
growing serious.
Fernie and Michel, controlled by the
Great Northern interests, are the only
districts where coal is being mined
and the statement is made that all coal
mined there is being sent into the
United States. The chief consuming
centers in Western Canada are making
loud complaint at this, and move
ment has been started to petition the
government to intervene and end the
strike or stop the export of COAL
President Lewis, of the Interna-
tional union, and President Sherman,
the local head of the Miners union,
are adjusting their differences and
signs of settlement are in sight.
Lethbridge is in want of coal. sThe
public schools were closed there yes
terday. Three thousand miners are
now idle.
The immediate effect of the coal
strike in Nelson is a large number of
idle railroad employees. One of the
worst features of the situation is the
shutting down of the British Columbia
Copper company's smelter and mines.

Rernard was arrested recently in San
Francisco and gave the name of Sam

warded to M. Bertillon measurements
and photographs of the prisoner and
the Identification followed. M. Ber-
tillon says Bernard has been tried
twice and convicted, the first time for
theft and the second time for murder.

Will Work for Union County.

Elgin-Egin is taking on new life.
At a meeting of the Commercial club
last week, Mr.. Curry, publicity man
ager of the La Grande Commercial
club, gave long talk and the towns
buried the hatchet and will work in
harmony and for Union county as a
whole. The matter of having Union
county represented at the rose carnival
at Portland was acted on favorably.
Arrangements were made to organize
ranchers with the idea that much bene-
fit can be derived from the interchange
of methods and that the fruit industry
will be benefited.

MORE EXECUTIONS COMING.
Example to Be Set by Public Hang
ings in ConstantinopIe.

ings in Constantinople.
London, May "A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Constantinople
says that in an interview, Enver Bey,
one of the leaders of the Young Turks,
declared they had proofs that massa-
ere of all Turks suspected of Liberal
ism had been projected in Constan-
tinople and was prevented only by Gen.
eral Schefket fastening the occupation
of the capital.
Enver Bey said he now had no fear
that Abdul Hamid would become the
center of new revolts. He believed as
result of the court martial there
would be an additional 100 executions
and as many persons more would be
sentenced to Imprisonment at hard la
Dor.
The executions would be public, in
various parts of the city, beginning
tomorrow, as it was necessary
to show salutary example. The for
mer sultan, Enver Bey asserted, al
ready had been punished and would not
be put on trial.

MALHEUR SURVEY ORDERED
BaIlinger Eager to Test Feasibility OF
irrigation Project.


irrigation Project.
Ontario-Secretary Ballinger, of the
Interior department, has telegraphed
the reclamation officials at Boise order
ing immediate work in the field to be-
gin by surveyors and engineers for the
Malheur government irrigation project.
F. E. Weymouth, supervising engineer
for this reclamation district, is at
Boise gathering a crew of engineers
and surveyors and says he will be in
Ontario within day or two to begin
work.
Secretary Ballinger directs that the
work be hastened sufficiently to permit
his personal inspection when he visits
Ontario in June. He states that if
the project looks feasible at that time
he will order work to be completed as
soon as possible.
People here feel sure the government
project will be built, as former sur
veyors promised great success. Pri-
vate interests, who have been protest
ing against the government projet,
were heard by Secretary Ballinger in
Washington last week, and he stated
to them that if they could show def
nitely they were financially able to
build the project and that the people
want a private project, they may be
permitted to build.

PRESIDENT is BOSS.
New Senate Measure Gives Power to
Start Tariff War.

Start Tariff War.
Washington, May 4.-The senate
tariff bill, in the section which deals
with the maximum and minimum prop
osition, has, in the judgment of tariff
experts, one very important feature.
1t practically vests in the president the
power to declare tariff war against
any nation or to refrain from any such
war.
1t is given to him to decide whether
any nation is discriminating against
the products of the United States in its
system of duties. This permits the
government, through the S ate depart
ment and the other agencies provided
by law, to make agreements with other
nations as to trade and tariff conces-
sions which can be made effective by
proclamation of the president, without
the necessity of anything in the way
of Legislation or treaty agreement.
The bill authorizes the president to
employ at his discretion any persons to
procure information or assist him in
the discharge of these duties, which
would mean that he can appoint COM
missioners representing the United
States to go abroad and make agree
ments with foreign nations.
At the same time, attention is paid
to the wishes of those who are not in
favor of reciprocal agreements of any
kind. The proposition makes it impos-
sible to have any rate established lower
than the rate in the tariff law. Any
change in the case of any nation must
be change in the way of higher du-
ties. No amount of bargaining or con-
cession can secure for any country any
reduction in the tariff law.

Newberg-Cherry, prune, pear and
apple trees are loaded with bloom, and
Nehalem valley has never had better
prospect at this season of the year for
a bumper crop of fruit than is in sight
at the present time. Barring killing
frosts and cold rains, which are always
to be feared in the spring, the fruit
crop will be big one. The Weber,
Bussell Canning company is arranging
to start the big cannery here with the
opening of the berry and fruit season
and will be prepared to take care of all
that will be offered.

WORK OF NATURE.
Scenic Beauty of A.-Y.-P. Grounds
Not Work of Man.

The amphitheater of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition has been &C
complished partly by human efforts,
but for the most part the work has
been done by nature. On the high pre-
cipitous shores of Lake Washington,
looking across succession of bays,
and snow topped peaks of the Cascades
are brought clearly into view and this
forms the back ground of the amphi-
theater stage. Three sides rise from
the floor and these have a stately up
ward slope; only in the development of
these natural seating places has it
been necessary for work to be ex-
pended.
About the TERED sides of the amphi-
theater chairs rise one above the other
and in the vast forest theater 10000
people can have comfortable and
slightly positions. Surrounded at the
back and sides to towering trees of
Douglas fir and massive cedar, the
place seems to have been created by
giants of old for spectacular events;
it is so fashioned and designed that
open air acoustics produce results
which could be generally looked for
only within the walls of structures
built with this property always in
mind.
1t was in this spot that the first
shovel of earth was removed in the
building of the Alaska Y Yukon- Pacific
exposition. Without any work of pre-
paration, 25, 900 people were easily ac-
commodated within it's borders. Dur
ing the course of the exposition the
amphitheater will be the scene Of many
interesting events and with its arrange
ment as now perfected will afford the
grandest out of doors theiter in exist
ence.

French Jackies Kick on Fare,

Paris, May 1.-The third mutiny
within two weeks on a vessel of the
French navy has stirred government
circles and it is probable that the lat
est outbreak, that of sailors aboard the
brattleship st. Louis, at Toulon, will
be rigidly investigated. The sailors
of the st. Louis refused to eat the
meat provided by the mess officers and
their protests were so subversive of
discipline that three of tie crew were
placed in irons. The remainder of the
enlisted personnel then openly revolted,
declaring that all should be punished.

Cotton Men See jap Peril.

Boston, May 1.-Governor E. S.
Draper, in speech at the Seth annual
meeting of the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers, sounded a note
of warning against the rivalry of Japan
yesterday. He said that Japan is now
the great competitor of America in
cotton manufactures, and that the rap
idly decreasing exports of cotton goods
to China indicated very grave propo-
sition for the American manufacturers
to face.
