disappointed. as the meagre total Of the

seeming eagerness of the market to break

BIG BLACK JOHNSON
ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING

Deerolt, July 30,-Jack Johnson,
the colored gentleman of pugilistc
fame, sprang poser on the local po-
lice today when he was arrested for
speeding his auto. Johnson's bond
was fixed at $25. With an expansive
grin the negro indicated his willing
ness to ante. Hauling out his wallet
johnson chuckled merrily as he
carelessly flung roll of greenbacks
on the sergeants desk.
The officer picked up the money
and nearly choked with astonishment
when he discovered that the "wad"
consisted of six new bills, each of
which was of $1,000 denomination.
Efforts to secure change for one of
the bills nearly bankrupted the
neighborhood.
Johnson made his arrest the occa-
sion for little play for the press
agents He reiterated his promise to
cover Jeffries' $4,000 for the fight
and uttered dire threats of what he
would do when he got into the ring
with the Los Angeles boilermaker

Washington. July 30.-Representa-
tive Payne presented the tariff bill
to the house today, where it cannot
be changed and must be accepted, or
rejected or again referred to the con-
ference committee.
The bill as submitted is a victory for
President Taft, the conferees having
agreed to his demand for reductions.
Payne in presenting the bill said
the rates had been lowered where too
high and raised where insufficient for
protection and where importations
were very great. The bill includes
free hides, free crude petroleum, a
duty of 45 cents a ton on bituminous
coal, Is cents a ton on slack coal, Is
cents ton on iron ore, $1.25 a thou
sand feet on rough lumber, the Ding
ley rates on gloves, a slight increase
on hosiery, a duty of 1915 a ton on
print paper, free wood pulp If reci-
procity is granted, otherwise 1 1-2
cent per pound; a corporation tax in
lieu of the inheritance tax; senate
maximum and minimum provisions;
a tariff board to advise with the
president, but not congress; a GUS
toms court is also provided. The
present drawback provisions are re-
tanned with certain privileges for mil
lers for impoting wheat 70 flour.

BIG RUSH TOWARDS
HARVEY COUNTY LANDS

Burns, Ore,-There is a great rush
for the 100000 acres of Carey land
which was held by the Harney Valley
Improvement company for several
years, but which was opened for en-
try by the government a few weeks
ago. This tract is situated in the
center of Harney valley, and is a fine
body of grain land. The government
decided that the land was not desert
and that the Improvement company
could not get sufficient water to ir-
rigate such a large tract. so il was
opened to entry under the homestead
law. Good crops are being raised
on land joining the Carey land with
out irrigation and there is no doubt
but what grain and alfalfa raising will
be a success. Alfalfa roots will go
down 90 feet to get water where there
is no hardpan, and on this tract of
land the water level is only 10 feet,
and there is no hardpan. The land
is sub-irrigated by several small
mountain creeks, which furnish con-
siderable water for irrigauon in the
early spring. The Oregon Eastern
railroad survey passes through this
tract of land and the settlers will
be close to Harney City. Lowen and
Hartman, which are good business
towns. Good timber and sawmills
can be reached near Harney City.
a distance Of eight to thirty miles,
l.
be found at the same distance.

CUSHMAN'S SUCCESSOR
ELECTED IN NOVEMBER

Olympia, Wash, July 30.-A call
will be issued for an election on No
vember 2 for the selection Of a sue
cessor to the late Congressman F. w.
Cushman in the Second congressional
district according to statement
made by Governor Hay
"There is no necessity for an i'm
mediate election" said the governor.
"In fact, do not think 1t would be
wise to have an early election, be-
cause the farmers, the lumbermen,
the fishermen and others are now in
their busiest season. Besides, de-
sire to consult with members of the
legislature from the Second district
and with the leaders of the party be-
fore l issue a call for an election,
think the legislature perhaps should
pass a bill providing for the manner
of nominating candidates for the po-
sition. and l will defer action until
the convening of the legislature on
August H."

New York, July 30.-The steady
advance Of the New York Central
stock, reaching 140 yesterday, cou-
pied with the high water mark Of
200 for Union Pacific, is responsible
for the active revival of the report
that E. H. Hartman is about to en-
gineer a gigantic merger embracing
the New York Central, Chicago &
Northwestern, Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, establishing one vast sys.
tenn, under one management.
1t is believed that Harriman's poor
health will hasten rather than defer
the announcement of the merger.
AS reported, he will retire from
active participation after enjoying
for brief period the management Of
the great transcontinental system
which is his greatest known ambi-
ton.
The merger supposedly will take
place soon after the crops are moved
and congress has settled the traffic
rate question.
