zatiOn Operations.

Washington. April 3.-The attitude
of the Sac Paulo, Brazil, government
regarding the so-caiied valorization
policy and the management of the
coffee stock belonging to that govern
ment. is set forth in cablegram re-
ceived today by the Brazilian ambas-
sador from the minister of finance of
Sac Paulo.
The message says the government
of Sac Paulo is no longer engaged in
valorization operations. and that any
tax created by the United States will
operate against the American con-
sumer.
The valorization attitude is impor-
tant in view Of recent charges that a
syndicate is being formed as a result
of expected action of congress on the
coffee schedule of the tariff bill.

non in Chicago Park, But Scheme
Was Frustrated-Many Clues Have
Been Followed by Parents.

Flint, Mich, April 3.-Instead Of
having been kidnapped, when he dis
appeared from his home here on Feb
ruary q, 10-year-old Harold Moon
fell through the ice of Thread pond
and was drowned. The long search
for the boy, which has been prose-
cuted in all parts of the country, end
ed today when his body was found
floating nthe surface Of the pond
by Bert Rosen, who had been search
ing for it there for several days. A
pair of skates fastened to the little
feet bore mute testimony to the man
ner of the lads death.
1t was the boys sister who first
learned today that the missing boys
body had been found. The girl broke
the news to her mother. who for five
weeks has been enduring the strain of
not knowing whether her son wac
dead or alive. Thread pond was
drained Yesterday and today the body
was found. The legs were caught
fast in the weeds at the bottom.
ls
When he did not return home that
evening his parents began searching.
Then different stories became current
that the boy had been seen with Diff
ferent strange men. On one occasion
a boy answering to Harold's descrip-
ton had been with a stranger in a
freight car. These clues were follow
ed without result.
Extortion Scheme.
% Chicago, April st. n. Moon, the
father of the boy. received a letter
at his home in Flint few days ago
from Delavan. in which the writer
stated that he had lost boy in his
possession and that the father could
recover him by going to Delavan and
depositing $500 in the mouth of a.
cannon in the city park. Subsequent
developments indicated that the
scheme was arraigned by q person
who had read the details of the kid
naping of Willie W1lilta of Sharon,
Pa, and that he sought merely to ex-
tort easy money from the frantic
father.
Moon, as soon as he received the
letter. conferred with influential
citizens in his home town and
purse was raised to employ a detec-
tive agency to run down the supposed
lidnaper of the boy. AS soon as the
financial details wero arraigned,
Moon, who is not rich man, took a
train for Chicago. He at once went
to the Office of a detective agency. A
ruse was planned to capture the al
legged plotter. A detective was sent
to Delavan in advance and Moon left
later in accordance with the direc.
tions of the letter.

livered to him safely on the condi-
ton that ransom of $500 be paid,

little son had been found. It is eaid
here that Detective Carlsworth has

Not Much Information Given Out

Lethbridge, Alberta, April 3.-The
coal strike is in full force at the To-
cal mines. No men are working in
the Alberta Railway and Irrigation
company's mines or the Royal COL
lieries. The Diamond mines, not be.
ing in the Western Canada Operators
association are not affected in any
way. Lethbridge will be hit hard If
the strike conditions continue any
length of time. The steam plows,
many of which use a car of coal a
week, will be out of business. The
Lethbridge Brick and Terracotta
company and other large consumers
have only enough coal on hand to last
three days and will have to shut down
in that time as the coal cannot be
gotten from the Ashcroft mines. The
ice has melted so as to make traffic
across the river unsafe. The city de-
pends upon the Alberta Railway and
Irrigation company for its coal and
has, at present, enough to last about
ten days. The company has no stock
laid up for sale, there being only a
full car available. Both men and op-
orators seem inclined to fight it out
to finish.

Chicago, April 3.-Wheat for May
delivery overtopped the high point of
$1.211a reached during the celebrated
Gates deal in 1906, when it
sold on the board of trade
here today at s1.22k per bushel.
Only twice during the last twenty
years has wheat sold at a higher
figure on the local exchange. In Oc-
tober. 1888. the price reached $1.231a
and again in May, 1898, during the
Letter campaign mark of $1.S5 was
established. The present high level
is due largely to an exceedingly ur-
gent demand for cash grain.

Quiet at Hosmer.


Fernie, April 3.-Hosmer and the
camps around here are quiet. The
men quit operations yesterday and
are not much prepared to discuss the
situation. The operators do not think
the strike will be of long duration.
The men declare that they will take
no notice of the Lemieux act and no
act can compel them to work without
an agreement. Their leaders have
promised TO test the act on the first
occasion.
In Cranbrook all the miners are on
strike except those employed by the
Crows Nest Pass Coal company. The
miners are also striking in Banff,
Coleman, Lille, Hill Crest, Blairmore,
Passburg, Maple Leaf, Bankhead and

Fritz, the famous ironmaster and in
ventor, quietly observed his eighty
seventh birthday at his home in this
city today Mr.. Fritz is widely known
as the Nestor of the iron trade in
America. He began life as black

fort of his life was the conception,
the designing and erection of the
great forge and armor plate plant Of
the Bethlehem Steel company, Of
which he was the chief engineer and
superintendent from 1860 to 1898.
Mr.. Fritz, physically vigorous and &C

TO COMMEMORATE
INDIAN MASSACRE

Litchfield, Mimi, Aug. 21.-The
fOrty-seventh anniversary of the
commencement of the Indian outbreak
of 1862 is to be observed tomorrow
by the placing of monument to
mark the scene of the massacre of
the Jones and Baker families. The
monument, for which an appropria-
ton was made by the Minnesota leg
islature last winter, is a simple shaft
of st. Cloud granite, nine feet high
and appropriately inscribed.
The killing of the Jones and Baker
families forms one of the bloodiest
chapters in the history of the Indian
warfare in the northwest. Four per-
sons were killed at the Baker place,
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson Jones, Vivanus
Webster and Howard Baker. Clare
Wilson, young girl. was killed at
the Jones residence, where she stood
at window in full sight of the In
dams as they came from the Baker
home Immediately after the shoot
ing.
Six Indians were in the murderous
band. They arrived first at the
Jones home. where they demanded
whisky, which they were refused by
the Indian trader. Becoming fright
ened Jones and his wife went to the
Baker place. The Indians followed
shortly, and, having been bantered to
shoot at mark, the whites emptied
guns. the Indians then reloaded their
weapons. The shooting followed in
cold blood. Neighbors were told dur
ing the day of what had taken place,
and in the evening the settlement at
Forest City was AROUSED. This was
the commencement of the Indian
warfare of 1862.

After watching the growth of other
towns, we are not exaggerating when
We say Bridgeport has accomplished
more in the way of resource develop
ment and actual growth than any
other town it's size in the state of
Washington, says the Bridgeport Re-
publican This statement is taking
in quite large territory but we have
the facts to back it up. AS we glance
back over the past few months AMI
see what has been done and the
way of development, it leads us to be-
lieve that within a few years we will
be living in a town of at least 1000
population.
Most all the towns around us have
been spending large sums of money
for publicity, advertising their op-
pOrtunities for homeseekers and in
vestors, trying to get people interest
ed in their vicinity. They have all
adopted slogan, as a booster name,
such as THE Gate City," THE Hub of
the Valley" THE Town That Does
Things" etc. While they have been
engaged in this kind of campaign,
Bridgeport has been actually doing
the things they have been trying to
accomplish.
