MAY AVERT STRIKE.
Chicago Labor Controversy Appears
to Be Near End.

Chicago Labor Controversy Appears
to Be Near End.
Chicago, Aug. 10.-According to the
outlook tonight there will be no strike
of the streetcar employees of Chicago.
and settlement is likely to be reached
by tomorrow night.
It is said an offer of wage increase,
based on employees length of service,
will be made by President Mitten, of
the Chicago City Railway company.
John M. Roach, president of the Chi
cago Railways company. has had his
auditors at work figuring out method
of advancing wages, and it is said his
first offer to committee of his en-
ploves tomorrow will be on the same
general basis as that of Mr.. Mitten.
The controversy probably will be ad-
justed without resort to outside arbi-
tration. The employees say they are
decidedly opposed to arbitration, and
rather than submit to it will accept any
reasonable compromise coming from
the companies direct.

Two Thousand in School.

New York, Aug. 9. 9.-Columbia uni
versity's new departure, summer
school, has 1000 students on its roster,
of whom 1880 are taking the regular
course of lectures and studies and the
balance are attending the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Under the
new order of things it becomes possible
for one to get the university degrees
by attending one regular and two sum-
mer sessions of the university, or for
those who cannot afford this four
summer sessions will answer the re-
quirements.

COOS ROUTE FEASIBLE.
Proposed Line From Boise Shorter
Than Present Roads to Coast.

proposed Line from 6OiSe ShOrter
Than Present Roads to Coast.
Roseburg-H. G. Hurlburt, one of
the engineers who helped to locate the
Southern Pacific through this portion
of Oregon about 80 years ago, while in
this city recently said he believes one
or more railroads into the Coos bay re-
gion connecting with Eastern trunk
lines are sure to be built soon. From
personal examination he knows the
Umpqua route over the Cascade noun
tains to be one of the very best, and
believes it will not remain unoccupied
much longer.
He says this route is 200 miles short
er from Boise, Idaho, to the coast than
that of any present railroad line reach
ing the Pacific. Coos bay is 800 miles
nearer to Panama than is Portland,
thus making difference of 500 miles
in favor of the Coos bay route. With
immense traffic awaiting the building
of railroad from Coos bay to Boise,
there is reason to believe some strong
company will take up the matter and
put the road through in the next two
or three wears.

New Potato Pest Found.

Albany-A new kind of potato bug
has appeared on some farms about
seven miles north of Albany and has
proven very destructive in the few
patches it has attacked. John More
head, a farmer living on R. F. D. route
2, from this city, brought some sam
Piles of the bug to Albany and is en-
deavoring to find out its name, but
thus far no one has been found who
has ever seen such an insect. The bug
is black in color and has the appear
ance of an ant, but flies we'll. 1t at
tains a size of about half an inch in
length and is very hardy and multiplies
rapidly. The bugs bite off the bios
SONS on the potato vines and then at
tack the plant, killing it quickly.

CANNOT STOP STRIKE.
King Unable to Control Labor Situa-
ton in Sweden.

King Unable to Control Labor Situa-
ton in Sweden.
Stockholm, Aug. 10.-The tie-up of
the business of the country as result
of the strike is so serious that King
Gustav interviewed in an endeavor to
secure a compromise. The king to-
day sent message to the parties at
conflict, exhorting them to agree at
the earliest moment possible and ad-
vising arbitration.
1t was after King Gustav's message
had been approved at cabinet meet
ing Saturday that he summoned to a
conference at the palace the two lead
ers of the warning factions-Director
Sedow, of the employers, and Senator
Lindquist, president of the federation
of trades unions.
The result of the conference has not
yet transpired, but apparently the
kings efforts for a peaceful solution
of the trouble were without result.
Tonight it was announced the printers
would strike tomorrow, and the Ma
tional labor union has issued procla-
nation that, beginning tomorrow morn
ing, every drag wagon whose driver is
not wearing a union badge will be
stopped by strikers. No exception, it
was stated, will be made for owners
driving their wagons.
The union further declares it will
try to frustrate the attempt of the
Stockholm streetcar company to start
its cars on the surfsce lines.

Seattle Fair Half Over.

Seattle, Aug. 10.-With the closing
of the gates Sunday, the first half of
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition
was ended. Figures compiled by the
exposition management show the at
tendance for the first half of the fair
to be 1,744,861. Basing their esti-
mates upon the percentage of increase
for August and September over the
preceding months at previous exposi-
tions, the officials estimate that the
total attendance at the close of the Sc
attic exposition October 16 will be
more than a, 600, 900.

COREA SORE SPOT AGAIN.
Many Clashes Occur Between Japs
and Chinese.

and Chinese.
Victoria, B. c., Aug. 1O.-Passen-
gers arriving on the steamer Monteagle
from the Orient today in discussing the
situation between Japan and China.
say conditions at Cheintao, on the
Corean border, are more likely to cause
serious trouble between the two ma
tions than the dispute over the Antung-
Mukden railway.
When the Monteagle sailed reports
had been received that the Chinese had
massed 5000 soldiers at Cheintao
and collisions between them and
the Japanese police were frequent.
Seoul dispatches received before sail
ing state that, following the arrest OF
q party of Coreans by the Japanese at
Cheintao, the Chinese troops attacked
the Japanese and rescued the prisoners,
several of the Japanese being wounded.
A boycott has been declared against
the Japanese by the Chinese and Cor
cans of the district.

Pekin, Aug. China today sent in
her reply to the Russian note of July
2, regarding the opening of the Sun
gari and other rivers to international
trade. She mentions the Aigun treaty
and the Russian treaties concerned,
and refers to Russia's right to take
part in framing the rules to govern the
navigation of these streams. She does
not deny that the treaties in question
have a certain validity, but avoids
specifying the extent to which she con-
siders they have been modified by the
Russo-J Japanese peace treaty.

School Earnings Increased.

Salem-With the earnings of the
common school fund greater than ever
before in the history of the state and
the school population likewise greater
than ever, the annual apportionment
of school moneys made by State Treas
urer Steel is notable one. The total
amount apportioned was S30S, 300.65,
which is about $780, greater than
any previous apportionment. The total
number of children of school age in the
state as found in the annual reports of
the superintendent of public instruc-
tion is 166, ,649. All those are includ-
ed between the ages of a and 20 years.

Ready for Irrigation Congress.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 9.-Wednes-
day afternoon will witness the biggest
session of the 18th National Irrigation
conrgess, when Richard Achilles Bal
lingetr, secretary of the interior, will
speak on "The Attitude of the Govern
ment Toward the Reclamation of the
West" and it is declared by delegates
that Ballingter will be asked to go full
ly into his policy toward reclamation.
A statement made by Ballinger in Sc
attle that he did not believe in the gov
ernment's taking up any projects as
long as private capital was willing to
enter the field will be the subject of
much discussion.

Vale Short on Ice.

Valet is predicted that the ice
supply in Vale will be exhausted be-
fore ice comes again. This is the
second summer this has occurred in
Vale. The butchers were unable to
avoid it this year, however, on account
of the scarcity of sawdust and the
mildness of the winter. Heretofore
when the ice supply has given out it
has been found necessary to ship it in.
The butchers last year shipped from
Boise. 1t is expensive to do this and
the icemen are talking of putting in a
cold stoage plant for next year.

PORTERS ARE VICTORIOUS.
Judge Grants Them Right to Block
Road Against Hartman,

Road Against Hartman,
Moro, Or, Aug. 9.-Judge Butler late
Saturday night dissolved the temporary
injunction issued aaginst Porter Bros.
This means that Twohy Bros. will not
be permitted to cross the Gurtz ranch
with supply teams and equipment for
the Deschutes Railway company.
Not to be outdone, Harriman's legal
representatives at once filed condemna-
tion proceedings against Porter Bros.
in an effort to force an entrance to the
disputed territory through the property
of their rivals.
Arguments in the injunction case oc-
cupied two days in the circuit court
here. A night session was also held
to expedite the hearing. There was a
long array of legal talent for both con-
testing parties.
The evidence showed that the plain
tiffs secured certain rights to 60 over
these certain lands with their wagons
and outfits, and on the strength of
these rights, expended $4,000 in con-
structing a grade down the canyon of
the Descuhtes to the railroad right of
way. But no deeds were taken by the
plaintiffs from the land owners, nor
any agreements in writing. Porter
Bros. saw the opportunity and purchas-
ed from the land owners the lands over
which this road ran, and Immediately
upon securing possession under these
contracts stopped the Deschutes Rail
way company from sending in supplies
over the road.
While the temporary injunction was
in force, the Deschutes Railway COM
pany had been sending in about 10 to
Is wagonloads of provisions to the riv-
er each day.

Britain's Ruler Cleans Up 81 ,OOO,OOO
on Steel Stock.
New York, Aug. 9.-By specializing
on the stock of the United States Steel
corporation, King Edward, of England,
has just cleared more than $1,000, 900
as the harvest of three-months' cam
paign, according to story told today.
The story was given out in Wall
street and much comment was made on
the significant fact that the kings
agents placed his commission immedi-
ately after visit paid him by ]. P.
Morgan, who knows considerable about
steel.
Not only has the crowned head of
England profited by speculation in Wall
street, but it became known that Ger
man royalty has been buying steel and
other American stocks, all of which
have made substantial advanced to the
material benefit of the royal Golfers.
1t was three months ago when King
Edwards agents went into Wall street
for steel. A short time before that
Mr.. Morgan had visited the king, and
during the interview is supposed to
have given Edward VII tip.

STRIKE MAY SOON DIE OUT.
Dissensicn Breaks Out Among the
Workmen at Stockholm.

Stockholm, Aug. THE tense situ-
alton arising from the general strike
proclaimed few days ago seemed to
be relaxing tonight. The grave diggers
returned to work today and dissension
is apparent in the ranks of the other
strikers. The owners of some of the
larest plants in Stockholm announce
that their men will return to work
Monday.
M. Won Sidow, president of the EN-
ployers' Federation, declared tonight
that intervention by the government
would be without result, as the differ
ences were too great to be settled in
such manner. The National Labor
union published statement disapprov-
ing the strike of the electric light and
gas workers, which began last night.
The electric plant was kept in opera
tion by officials of the lighting depart
ment.
AS the strikers have been prevent
ing farmers from bringing provisions
into the city, troops have been detailed
to patrol the country roads.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 10.-Further
particulars brought by the steamer
Monteagle concerning the Mohamme-
dan uprising in Shensi and Kansu dis
tricts state the revolt was due to the
severe methods taken by the Chinese

habit. He seized one of the local gen.
try who was an opium smoker, and had
his eyes gouged out and his arms
taken off. The people then rose in re-
bellion and attacked the magistrate.

Ranchers and Dealers Desperate;
Housewives Happy.
Los Angeles, CAL, July 9.-With
peaches selling four pounds for one
cent, cantaloupes being hawked at 10
cents dozen, and aprlcots rotting be-
cause nobody will buy them at any
price, ranchers and commission men
are thoroughly disgusted while the
housewife rejoices. Prices are so de-
moralized that cantaloupe growers of
this section met today and decided to
let all but the best fruit rot.
Only choice melons will be brought
into market, and the growers have an
ironclad agreement not to sell these at
less that 81 crate. The glut extends
to tomatoes. The finest kind in size,
color and flavor fetched only 10 cents a
box today.
