STOCKS

Boston, Mass-Foster says: North
Butte was the center of attraction at
the opening this morning. Contrary
to expectations there was only small
amount of stock pressed for sale and
the buying was better than the selling.
Toward the close heavy liquidation
came i'm, apparently on orders from
Pittsburg and the stock made a. new
low record on this move. This was
considerably forced selling today and
many stop orders were caught and the
market position looks better to us in
North Butte than for some time. we
advise buying only for turn but
think we shall see three to four
point rally within a day or two In this
stock. Hancock was just the opposite
OF North Butte, showing consistent
strength and considerable activity.
Sales were made as high as 1914, with
point reaction at the close. The ball
ance of the list was remarkably strong,
considering the liquidation in Butte
and we do not look for any material
decline before the bull movement is
resumed.-Paine. Weber & Co.

RAILROADS RUSH
TO Defend RATES
Officials at Portland Testify Be-
force Interstate Commerce
Commission

PORTLAND. Oct. 14.-So slow is the
progress of the hearings in the Port
land rate cases before the interstate
commerce commission that the COM
mission ordered this morning that tes-
mony in the individual rate cases be
taken. before a commissioner When the
session opened, the Oregon railroad and
navigation company resumed introduc-
ton OF testimony in defense of existing
freight rates eastward from Portland.
The first witness, E. NJ. Cousins. a
tariff expert, submitted comparative
tables which he declared showed that
rates charged by the Oregon railroad
and navigation company are not unfav-
orabie in comparison to those charged
IN other parts of the country where the
density of traffic is equal.
PROBE WITNESS COMPETENCY
Asked by counsel for Portland as to
his acquaintance with the subject of
rate making, the witness declared that
except in this territory his knowledge
was of only a general character. He
was asked whether, generally speaking.
density Of traffic regulated rates and
replied that it did not do so wholly.
On redirect examination he WAS asked
hypothetical question as to whether
the rate on open shipments would be
the same whether 20 cars or 120 cars
were shipped into territory daily. and
testified that he thought 1t would make
a difference in the rate.
Ralph Blaisdell, auditor of several
roads in Oregon, consumed the rest
of the morning session with his testi-
mony. He submitted a vast number of
tabulated statements going into the
earnings and expenses of the Oregon
railroad and navigation company.
He was shown table prepared by
the Union Pacific which showed dis
crepaney of s2,000.000 against the fig
ures prepared by him as to the operat-
ing. expenses of the Oregon railroad and
navigation company, which is owned by
the former company, but maintained
that his own figures were correct. In
testifying that the decreased expense
of maintenance of way for the fiscal
year of 190S-9 amounted to nearly S50.-
900, Blaisdell brought the prompt at
tention of the commission.
SPEND LESS FOR MAINTENANCE
Commissioner Clements interrupted
the line of counsePs questions to ask
| If this had been done to the detriment
of the right ofsway He explained that
| the commission was interested in
knowing if this decrease had any bear
| ing upon the safety of the travelling
| public.
Counsel for the Oregon railroad and
navigation company interposed with
] the explanation that the amount ap-
propriated usually exceeded largely the
| actual cost of maintenance of way.

SPIRITS CONVERSE
WITH WI TINGFANG
Chinese Minister Attends ;
Seance and Probes Mys-
teries of Occult World

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Dr. WI Ting
Fang, the learned and popular Chinese
who is about to retire from the post of
minister of China to the United States.
pursued still further last night his
personal investigation into the esoteric
mysteries of spiritualism as demon
strated by Washington spiritualists.
His first experience occurred last
Sunday night at a public meeting,
where anonymous Chinese spirits were
described to Doctor Wu by a trance
medium" as lowering in the distin-
guished diplomats immediate vicinity
SHRINKS FROM PUBLICITY
Last night he went again. this time
to a smaller seance at a private house,
Wu refused to discuss his experience
or impressions and even showed solici-
tude lest his presence at the seance
should be the subject of newspaper
mention.
The woman medium who officiated--a
different one this time-brought to him
messages purporting to come from the
late President Mckinley, who was an
intimate friend of WI, and also from
the minister's own mother. The lat
ter was the more startling because,
apparently, delivered in the Chinese
language.
These messages are claimed by the
spiritualists to be brought to the me-
dunn in trance by the spirit of Is
year old American Indian girl, under
whose control she speaks but broken
English; yet the conversation between
WI and the medium while ostensibly
under this control was somewhat ex-
tensive, lasting fully five minutes, and
seemed to be in the hinese vernacular,
question and answer uninte1ligible to
the auditors passing back and forth
with considerable freedom.
There was every evidence that the
diplomat perfectly understood the COM
munication, which appeared to come
from the spirit of Doctor Wu's own
dunn and her control" are both abso-
lutsly ignorant of the Chinese Ian
guage.
PORTENDS TROUBLE
Before the conversation between Wu
and the medium. purporting to convey
messages from the martyred president.
the woman in her trance had told
WI that her control foresaw terrible
trouble for the Chinese empire, in
which the distinguished diplomat would
occupy a place of great Importance and
influence and it was in connection with
this prediction that she brought what
was claimed to be a communication
from the former president. expressing
the earnest desire for peace.

IMPERIAL COUNTY
SHOWS PROGRESS
Statement Furnished President
Taft Proves Large Increase
in Improvements

Accompanying the petition presented
by committee from the Imperial Val
lev chamber of commerce to President
Taft to controvert statements from
Washington relative to danger of
water famine through possible change
in the course of the Colorado river
was a statement of Imperial county's
recent growth which is in iteslf the
strongest possible evidence of the
confidence possessed by people in
position to know in the stability of
the section and its resources.
This statement shows an increase in
the land under cultivation, and in in
vestment in stock and improvements
that is little short of marvellous, and
it would be absurd to assume that the
individuals interested have not fully
informed themselves as to the perma-
nence of water supply and kindred
matters.
From the people resident in the I'M
perial valley it is learned that the
canals and water supply generally are
in better condition than ever before
and plans have been completed for the
investment of hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the replacing of all
temporary structures with permanent
c ncrete.
STATEMENT GIVEN TAFT
The statement Of progress furnished
President Taft includes a report from
teh county statistician, as follows:
Comparison Of the statistics for I901-S with
the flgures for 190S-9 shows considerable prog
ress. The number OF tracts Of desert land con
yerted into farms increased by 1,55T or 50 per
cent; the number of acres assessed by l59.S0S. or
IS per cent. the value of country real estate
due partly TO conversion of possessory right into
full title, by SO. 122 554. 2s7 per cent; personal
property assessment was reduced half by reason
of the same change. possessory rights being as.
sessed as personal property The acreage OF
cerials increased by 3.T29 acres. while alfalfa
decreased by 9.941, the decrease being due &c
plowing under alfalfa for the planting of other
crops. The area of land under irrigation was
increased by 6202 acres Nearly 5000 fruit
trees came into bearing during the year and
1900 orange trees were planted. Bearing
grape vines Increased from 9s1 to 10S,00o. Stock
cattle increased by 1,747. or u per cent; dairy
cows 10y 2,6SO or 127 per cent; bees by Liz
