STRIKE SEEMS SURE.
French Government Will Dismiss EN-
pIoyes Who Take Part.

Paris, May S.-Warned in advance
that to strike means dismissal from the
service, the members of the Post, Tel
egraph & Telephone Employees associa-
tion in various cities have already vot-
ed in principle for general strike, and
the congress of railroad men has order
ed referendum on the question Of or
dering strike and has appointed a
strike committee.
That strike will result is foregone
conclusion. The cities where it has
beer. decided upon include several of
the largest, industrial centers, such as
Lyons and Havre. The time to strike
alone appears to be undecided, having
been left by the local unions to the
general strike committee of each or
ganiZation.
The determination of the government
to fight to finish the question of the
right of state employees to strike is
shown by the declaration of M. Bar
thou, the minister of public works,
that the government, in the event of
an attempt being made to strike, will
instantly discharge from the service
any postman who ceases work.

STATES MAY LOSE.
Appropriations for Rivers and Har-
bors May Revert to Government.

Appropriations for Rivers and Har-
bors May Revert to Government.
Washington, May 10.-Un!ess con-
gress takes specific action at the spec
ial session now in progress, nearly ST.
900, 600 appropriated for river and har-
Dor improvements in various sections
of the United States will be turned
back into the national treasury, much
to the chagrin of many congressman
and senators.
This situation arises over the "cov-
ering back" section of the sundry civil
bill, approved March 4. This section
provides that all unexpended balances
of appropriations that remained on the
treasury books June l, 1904, except
permanent specified appropriations,
judgments and findings of courts and
trust funds and appropriations for full
filling treaty obligations with the In
dians be carried to the surplus fund and
covered back into the treasury, "pro-
vided that the money is not needed to
pay existing treaties.
To meet the situation, Senator Burton
has introduced resolution providing
that the section of the sundry civil bill
in question shall not be construed as
applying to the unexpended balances in
river and harbor appropriations which
may be essential, in the judgment of
the secretary of war, for the mainten-
ance and prosecution of the work for
which it was appropriated.
Among the appropriations that will
revert are:
Mouth of Columbia river, Oregon,
$4,000; entrance to Coos bay, Oregon,
$4,000; restraining barriers Sacra-
mento and Feather rivers, California,
$14, 900; and harbor at Tacoma, Wash
ington, $11, 900.

FAIR is COMPLETE.
AIaska-Yukon-Pacfic Exposition Will
Start on Time.


Start on Time.
Seattle's two expositions ore just
about ready for the bell tap. The
Alaska -Yukon-P Pacific exposition is
ninety-nine per cent, complete, which
means that everything is done save
sweeping the floors, and the other ex-
position, which consists of the most
magnificent scenery and the longest
list of interesting tours boasted by any
American city, is always ready.
Railroad experts the country over
declare that the success of the A. Y. p.
is already assured, but for this fact
they do not give the whole credit to
either the management or the publ
city campaign. On the contrary, they
declare that the imminent influx into
the Northwest is due more largely to
Northwestern resources and home pos
sibilities and to Northwestern and
Alaskan scenery and romance, more
than to any other power of attraction.
Nightly now the exposition grounds
are lighted for the enjoyment of the
pre-exposition crowds which daily go
the to grounds. For weeks the attend
anceh as averaged close upon 5000.
If special free days were counted it
would be larger figure than this. A
cold spring somewhat delayed the first
flush of the floral effects, which are on
huge scale, but warm May days have
brought out the blooms.
Practically all of the exhibits are in
stalled in the Manufactures building
and in the Oriental and European build
ings. The installation in the Palace
of Agriculture is somewhat slower but
will not be behind at the right mo-
ment. The government exhibits are
we'll along with the exception of the
Hawaiian and Philippines exhibits,
which arrived late. However, they
will be complete to the last detail by
June /.
Most of the foreign exhibits are in
place and those that are not are receiv-
ing the finishing touches.
And while work is being pushed rap
idly ahead on the exposition proper,
arrangements are going forward just
as fast that the visitor may take ad
vantage of the "second exposition.
New steamships are arriving daily for
excursion trips to various points
around the sound and along the coast.
The numerous resorts in the Cascade
mountains are close at hand either by
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Burlington or Milwaukee railroads and
the Canadian Pacific takes one quickly
to Banff, the wonder spot in the Cana
dian Rockies.

FIND INSURANCE JOKER.
FraternaI Societies of Illinois Sound
Warning Against Measure.

FraternaI SoCletieS OF IllinoiS oounc
Warning Against Measure.
Chicago, May l1.-Leaders of fra
ternal insurance societies have discov-
cred a joker in house bill No. BOZ,
now ready for third reading in the
Illinois legislature, which, if passed,
will develop a billion-dolar insurance
combine with power to force smaller
concerns and fraternal orders out OF
the insurance business.
The bill in question contains clause
which provides that any insurance COM
pany doing business in Illinois may is
sue policies with special rates OF pre-
MUM less than the usual rates to
members of labor unions, lodges and
other organizations who, through an
officer, may take out insurance of not
less than 100 members.
In this proviso fraternal men see pos
sibilities of great insurance corpora
tion, which, by cutting rates, would
utterly annihilate competition OF small
er and fraternal concerns. 1t was on
ly by accident that the attention of
fraternal men was drawn to the joker.
A strong lobby will be sent to Spring
field to fight it.

POT OF GOLD SOUGHT FOR.
Excavation flor Kentucky Church |:
Closely Watched.

Cincinnati, May 1.-THE excavation
for the building of St. Francis church
in Dayton, KY, suburb, is being
watched by many who believe that a
pot of gold was buried under that site
after the raid by General John Hunt
Morgan and his band of Confederates
near the close of the Civil war.
The property belonged to the late
Mathew Macarthur, noted Southern
sympathizer. There was a subterra-
mean passage leading from the house,
and it is here, the passage having long
since been filled up. that the treasure
is supposed to be.
The money was left, it was said, by
Confederate named Caldwell, who
had been North to pay the troops of
General Morgan, then located in this
vicinity. He stopped at the Macarthur
residence, and, his presence being dis
closed, secreted the gold, said to
amount to several thousand dollars,
and escaped, intending to join General
Morgan.
The latter was killed in Tennessee
about the same time.

New Line to Butte.

Helena, Mont, May 8.-Montana is
to have a new railroad. Because of
its proposed Western connection, it is
supposed to be Hartman property.
The company has an authorized capital
stock of SIG, 000,0 for which filing
fee of 81, 800 was paid by ]. l.. Wines,
of Butte. The road will run from Lap
wal Junction, where it connects with
the o. R. & N company's lines, along
the Clearwater, crossing into Montana
by way of Lolo pass; thence through
Missoula, Granite, Powell and Deer
Lodge counties to Butte, $50 miles.

Heavy Produce Shipments.

La Grande-Last year La Grande ex-
ported 4.Q35 carloads of produce, while
but 1857 were brought to this place.
This shows how decidedly the balance
of trade is with the rich Grand Ronde
valley. AS the development of the
land continues the ratio will be great
er, and the profits of the producer will
be enhanced. Of the immense ship
ment outward 1900 cars were loaded
with wheat, barley and oats, while 270
cars carried sugar. Other shipments
were wool, fruit potatoes, brick, stone,
hay and livestock.

KESSAB HORRIBLE
Large Portion of Town Destroyed by
MOSIem Raiders.
Girls High School Wrecked Com
pIetely-Was American Property
Turkish Guard Is Not Trusted
People Wander About Absolutely
Destitute-Reef Inadequate.

Beirut, Asiatic Turkey, May 8.-An
investigator who has just returned
here from a trip to Kessab reports
that all the American property at that
place has been completely destroyed by
the Moslem raiders. The American
property there consisted of girls
high school under the direction of Miss
Effie N. Chambers. Three quarters of
the native houses also have been de-
stroyed, but the Armenian church and
the new Protestant school building are
standing. Almost all of the people
who fled from Kessab have returned to
find their houses looted. They are alb
solutely destitute. Some food and
clothing are being distributed, but
there is no system in the work and the
supplies are inadequate.
One band of Turkish reserves has re-
turned to the town, but as they took
part in the rioting and killing there,
the people cannot trust them. The
protection afforded is in no sense suffi-
cient. The situation at Deurtyul, on
the coast north of Kessab, is still criti-
cal.

Farmers to Discuss Problems.

La Grande-The farmers of Union
and Wallowa counties will hold meet
ing at this place May IA and 10, for
the purpose of discussing the problems
which confront the workers in the fields
of this section, and to outline some
plan of action relative to the marketing
of crops, and the purchase of grain
bags. The meeting has been called by
the five local unions of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union,
which are now the only representatives
of the organization in Eastern Oregon,
except few locals near Milton, in
Umatilla county.

STATES LOSS $4,000.
Fire in State Prison Caused Damage
Of Over $4,000.

VI OVeT 0OO,OOO.
Salem-After careful inspection of
the ruins of the shops of the Oregon
penitentiary. gutted last week by fire,
Superintendent C. w. James is of the
opinion that 500, 900 will cover the loss
to the state. While some shafting and
machinery owned by the state was
ruined, the equipment was old and not
very valuable. Loewenberg, Going &
Co., of Portland, will lose heavily, their
loss on patterns alone probably reach
ing $40, 900 to $4,000. They will
also lose several thousands on machin-
cry.
The penitentiary officials now believe
the fire did not originate in the foun-
dry, but in the polishing room or front
shop, where there are several emery
wheels.
AS a result of the fire about 225 con-
victs will be out of work and will be
kept locked up except for a short out
ing twice a day for exercise. The
prison board is expected to hold meet
ing some time this week to arrange for
rebuilding the shops.

lem and Seattle capitalists. The pur-
chasers do not intend to cut up the

lower figure.

Monroe Now on Railroad.

Monroe-The Corvallis & Alsea rail
road took it's first carload shipment
from Monroe last week. This car was
loaded with mohair and shipped to San
Francisco via Albany. Although Mon
roe is probably one of the oldest towns
n the state and into which the Southern
Pacific graded a road from Corvallis
more than 25 years ago, it is now that
the so mucn needed railroad has been
completed. The Corvallis & Alsea
railroad is being built south and west
from Monroe and will tap one of the
largest belts of fir timber in the state.
