THE "OLD MANS" TRIP.

| the 9TH of this month, / have
been around the state considera-
bic. having in the meantime
spent less chan two weeks at lr-
rgon and The Dalles, both of
which are considoredmy home"
towns.
I attended the meeting Of the
Oregon-ldaho Development Con-
gress at Boise, Ontario and Wei
ser, the latter meeting taking
place on April 30th and May lst
1t was by odds the best meeting
yet held in point of attendance.
and | am very sorry there was
not larger number of Burns
people there. We particularly
missed Mr.. Hanley, who was de-
tanned on the automobile route
between here and Vale. 1t was
very unfortunate that he was de
tanned for we needed him badly.

Tuesday. July s.

Washington, July 6.-The Republi-
can majority of the senate finance COM
mttee today stirred up hornets nest
by reporting the new schedule of to-
bacco taxes as having been recon,
mended when it had not even been sub
mitted to the minority members, much
less laid before a meeting of the whole
committee. Aldrich was forced to
back water and recognize the rights of
the minority.
Aldrich said that he would call a
meeting of the finance committee for
tomorrow morning, giving the minor
ity members a chance TO express their
opinion.
All sections of the bill that senators
do not desire to reserve for further
amendment will now be agreed to en-
bloc. The senate then will consider
the tobacco amendment. the only
amendment not adopted in committee
of the whole.

Manila, July Elm desperate fight
near Patian, on Jolo island, yesterday,
Jikiri, the famous Moro outlaw chief,
was killed and his entire band EXTERN
mated by detachments of regulars and
constabulary under Captain George l..
Bran, of the Sixth United States cav
airy, operating in conjuntion with
naval fotilla of the mosquito fleet un-
der Lieutenant Commander Signor.
The American loss was one private
killed and three officers and 20 enlisted
men and one sailor wounded.
Captain Biram's cavalry, with few
scouts and constabulary and a detach-
ment of sailors under Lieutenant Com
mander Signor, located and attacked
the outlaws in the mountains far from
the coast. The Moros fled and took
refuge in a large cave. The column
of troops and sailors surrounded the
place, but Jikiri refused to surrender.
A concerted attack was made, the
Moros fighting desperately in the
mouth of the cave until the last mem
Der of the band was dead. AS yet but
few details of the fight have been re
ceived here.
Jikiri was one Of the most famous
outlaws remaining in the islands. Ever
since the American occupation he has
fought the whites and mas led raid af-
ter raid.

DEATH LIST GUT.
Annual Patriotic Carnage is Greatly
Reduced.

ANNUAL TdtTtOuC SdIIid6C 10 NJ Sopy
Reduced.
Chicago, July 6.-With three days.
celebration of the nations birthday
this year, the remarkable fact stands
out boldly that the annual carnage has
been decreased to a great degree. Ad-
vices from all points up to midnight
show that in all large cities new rules
and their strict enforcement have
checked the customary slaughter of
children.
In New York there were but four
deaths for the three days. In Chicago,
usually drenched with blood under the
guise of patriotism, there was not
single death for the three days. In
Washington there were no deaths and
no injuries, and only the smallest fire.
crackers were permitted.
Five deaths are reported from the
state of Massachusetts, one each in
Boston and other large cities. One
death is reported from Philadelphia.
The entire state of Oklahoma reports
but two deaths and nine serious injur-
les. Small cities in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania and Far Western locali-
ties seemed most patriotic in casual
ties this year. In every case this can
be traced to lax police regulations.

Body On WaY Home.

Washington, July 8.-The body Of
Representative Cushman, accompanied
by two representatives of the sergeant
alarms of the house, left New York
at AS yesterday afternoon, and was
met at Harrisburg by Robert Joyce,
with whom Cushman lived here, and'by
A. G. Hendricks, representing Senator
Piles. They will accompany the re-
mains to Tacoma. The body is expect
ed to arrive there Sunday night.
In accordance with Mrs. Cushman's s
wish no congressional party was desig
mated to act as escort. Congress will
appropriate $1,000 for Mrs. Cushman
in accordance with the custom of be-
slowing upon the family of deceased
members an equivalent to one years
salary. The house will also bear all
funeral expenses.

MONDAY, July 5.

Washington, July By unanimous
vote the senate today adopted the reso-
luton submitting to the state legisla-
lures the income tax amendment to the
Federal constitution. Then it devoted
its attention to the administrative
features of the tariff bill and adopted
them. The tobacco schedule will be
considered tomorrow with a few other
uncompleted details and then the bill
will be reported from committee of
the whole to the senate. The only
subject likely to provoke debate is the
tobacco schedule. The proceedings af-
ter the bill is reported will be brief
and the bill will then go to conference.

Gunnison Bore Finished.

Montrose, Colo, July THE last
round of shots in the East heading for
the Gunnison irrigation tunnel was fired
at 5 80 o'clock this evening. A few
minutes later workmen from the two
headings shook hands through the open
ing. The tunnel is six miles long and
has been under construction four years
and half. This project has been car
ried out by the Federal Reclamation
bureau at a cost of SO, 500, 600. 1t will
furnish water for the irrigation of
$50, 900 acres of land.

" Wednesday, July 7.

Washington, July with a gene
raj understanding that the final vote
on the tariff bill should be taken by
o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the senate
adjourned at 7 O'Clock this evening.
The arrangement for vote tomorrow
was arrived at as an alternative for a
session tonight. The income tax ques-
tion, including the corporation tax
provision and inheritance tax, received
much attention in the senate today
and the straight income advocates were
afforded the opportunity to get vote
in favor of the income tax as opposed
to the corporation tax. The income
tax was defeated by 48 to 7 and with
the corporation tax provision securely
established as part of the bill, there
was considerable effort to amend it.

Mysterious Surrey in Mexico

San Francisco, July S.-News of a
mysterious surveying party, near Sa-
lima Cruz, Mexico, was brought here
today by the steamer Columbia. The
crew reported that two days before
their departure large party of Ameri-
can surveyors went into camp near the
city. The mission of the party was
not learned, but it was rumored in Sa-
lima Cruz that plans were being laid for
new railroad enterprise in which
American capital was interested.

Twenty-One Lose Places.

Washington, July 10.-Seventeen in
spectors and four revenue agents on
the denatured alcohol rolls of the in
ternal revenue bureau have been dis
missed because their services are no
longer needed. The expectation that
denatured alcohol would make rapid
strides in supplanting gasoline as a
motive power for small farm engines,
automobiles, ETC., has not held good.

Kansas City, July 8.-Swollen by
unprecedented rain and by melting
SHOWS from the Rocky mountains, the
rivers of the Lower Missouri valley
are out of their banks, causing damage
in many parts of Missouri and Kansas.
The results of the food up to late
hour tonight were as follows:
Train No. 5, of the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railway, which left
Kansas City at 9 rs a. m. for Denver,
left the track at Pomona, Kan. Of the
10 coaches which made up the train, a
baggage and three day coaches left the
track and slid into l8 feet of water.
A telephone message from Pomona,
Kan, at midnight said the four year
old daughter of Mrs. Carrie Rose, of
Chicago, had been drowned in the
wreck. Three hundred other persons
who had taken refuge on top of the un-
affected coaches were rescued by boats
and quartered at nearby farmhouses.
Pomona is almost completely inun-
dated, the Marias des Cygnes river at
that point being three miles wide. A
relief train was sent from Ottawa to-
night with food and other supplies for
the passengers, who were said to have
climbed on top of the coaches for refuge
from the rising waters.
In Kansas City the situation is
threatening. In the bottoms in the
western section where are located the
stockyards, wholesale warehouses and
manufacturing plants, the waters from
the confluence of the Missouri and Kan
sas rivers are tapping the danger line.
Pattensburg, town in Missouri so
miles north of Kansas City, is ten feet
under water, and its ], 500 inhabitants
are in dire straits. Fifty rowboats
were put on a special train at Kansas
City this morning and hurried to the
scene. Later reports say that the ma
rooned citizens were all removed to
higher ground without loss of life, but
that the property damage will be tre-
mendous.
At Chilicothe, Mo-, on the Grand
river, six men were swept from bridge
this afternoon and were seen floating
down the stream. Whether they
reached shore or not was not learned.
The bridge was carried out when a
great wall of water six feet high swept
down both forks of the Grand river and
joined at Utica, continuing after that
as one great flood. The water spread
out all over the bottom lands and did
great damage to farms and crops in its
path.
The water overwhelmed the railroad
tracks, blocking traffic absolutely. and
causing the death of several people.
Joe Willard and his wife were drowned
two miles west of Chlicothe as they
were fleeing along the tracks. William
Christian was also drowned and six sec
tion hands are reported missing. The
agent at Gault, Arthur Fisk, was res
cued from the roof of the station after
close escape from the flood.
The Burlington bridge to the west of
Chlcothe has been abandoned.

McCIeary for Mint Head.

Washington, July 10.-There are
strong indications that James I. Nc
Cleary, of Minnesota, former repre-
sentative in congress and later assist
ant postmaster general, will be ap-
pointed superintendent of the mint,
succeeding Frank Leach, who resigned
to accept a business proposition in
California. His nomination is expect
ed before the expiration of the present
session of congress.

Powers Block Russians.

Pekin, July Great Britain, Aus
tria- Hungary and the United States
have notified China that they do not
recognize the preliminary agreement
between Russia and China devised for
administration of the Russian railroad
area in Manchuria. These powers de-
clare also that the laws affecting the
right to reside in the international set
tlement in China must originate with
the treaty powers. The negotiations
on this subject, which were opened last
month. are now blocked for an indef-
mite time

New Machine for FLYING.

Victoria, B. c., July 7.-An airship
which, the inventor asserts, will right
itself within few feet when started
upside down and will fly from Victoria
to San Francisco in less than five
hours. has been built by A. W. Gibson,
a Scotch engineer. The inventor pur-
poses to make his first flight from Vic
toria to the Seattle exposition and hs
offered to wager $1,000 that he can
go the distance in half an hour. The
airship embodies entirely new princi-
pies and is propelled by an engine
weighing 222 pounds.

Fear Dark Enumerators.

Washington, July 6. - Concerned
about what they suppose to be the pos
sibility that negroes may be sent into
the homes of white residents Of the
South as census enumerators, Demo-
cratic members of congress will urge
President Taft to give instructions that
only white enumerators be employed in
districts south of the Mason and Dixon
line

HOLDS UP BANK.
Heavily Armed Bandit Works in Broad
Daylight.


Daylight.
Everett, Wash, July IA lone rob-
ber held up Assistant Cashier E. c. o.
son, of the Bank of Commerce, shortly
before the bank closed yesterday after
noon, wounded Cashier ]. l.. Lyen and
escaped with few hundred dollars.
He fled on bicycle to the north end
of the city, then turned toward the
waterfront. Here his pursuers found
the satchel IN which he carried his
money. 1t contained only SIS. Dep
uties and citizens are searching for the
man. Bloodhounds have been secured.
When the robber entered the bank
he thrust two revolvers into Olson s
face and commanding him to throw up
his hands, laid down one gun and seiz-
ed all the money he could reach and
placed it in his satchel. He paid no
attention to the few customers in the
bank.
Cashier Lyen was in the rear end of
the building. He ran down an alley
way and entered by the front door to
take the robber by surprise and grap-
pied with him. The robber shot three
times, one bullet passing through Ly-
ems jaw and neck, making serious
wound. The robber then fled, with
both Lyen and Olson shooting at him.
His hat was shot off and it is believ-
ed he was slightly wounded. He is
supposed to have had bicycle hidden
in the vicinity, for he was next seen
riding furiously north on one. He was
seen by hundreds of people, but before
armed citizens and officers took up the
chase in automobiles he disappeared.

Manufacturers Are Aroused

Washington, July 7.-Proposed in
creases in the internal revenue taxes
on all forms of manufactured tobacco
have brought a veritable hornets nest
about the heads of the senate commit
tee on finance. An estimate of the
increased revenues that would be pro-
duced was received by the senate COM
mittee today. If no decrease in con-
sumption is occasoned by the proposed
increase, it would raise about $40, 000,-
600 more than now collected.

MOURNED BY ALL.
News of Cushman's Death Shock to
Friends in Congress.

Friends in Congress.
Washington, July News that
Francis w. Cushl.an, representative
fromDW Washington, had passed away in
New York yesterday morning, came
as a great shock to his host of friends
in both branches of congress. Morn
ing papers contained dispatches an
nouncing he had successfully passed
his crisis and was on the road to recov-
cry. 1t was not until the members of
congress reached the capitol that they
heard of his death, and even then word
spread slowly among the members, for
the house was not in session.
In conformity with Mrs. Cushman's
wish, there will be no congressional
escort appointed to accompany the re-
mains to Tacoma, but the body will be
taken across the continent by repre-
sentative of the sergeant-at-arms of
the house, who went to New York this
morning. Tie house will not meet
until Thursday. At that time Cush-
mans death will be announced, and ad-
journment probably be taken out of re-
spect to his memory.
Senator Piles, who was with Mr..
Cushman when the end came, returned
to Washington last evening. He said
Mr.. Cushman passed away peacefully,
being unconscious during his last
hours. Heroic treatment was resorted
to as soon as Mr.. Cushman's condition
took a turn for the worse, but he was
so weakened that he did not respond to
treatment. He sank steadily through
the night and breathed his last at two
past yesterday morning.

Yankton, S. D., July 8.-One of the
most notable gatherings ever assem-
bled in this part of the country in the
interest of waterway development was
called to order today when the Missouri

ond annual convention. Representa-
tives are present from Missouri, Kan
sas, Iowa, South Dakota and other

Hill to Invade Canada.

Helena, Mont, July There was
filed with the secretary of state today
an official resolution adopted by the
board of directors of the Great North
ern railway, showing its purpose to
construct a branch line from Poplar,
Valley county to the Canadian border,
a distance of so miles. The inference
is that the line will be extended furth-
er north, tapping the grain fields of
Saskatchewan, thus invading the Cana
dian Pacific territory.

Mud Blocks Royal Gorge.

Canon City, Colo, July ct is re-
ported that COO feet of Rio Grande
track just beyond the Royal Gorge, at
Parkdale. is completely covered up
with mud and debris from rains last
night and today. No. Rio Grande
passenger train was tonight backed to
Pueblo, and will be run out over the
Colorado Midland. The traffic through
the gorge on the Rio Grande probably
will be tied up for "a hours before the
road can be cleared.
