FILIPINos OPPOSE TAxEss
Governor General of Islands Is Disliked
by People.

Chicago-High taxes are as unpopu-
lar with citizens of the Philippine Is
lands as they are in Chicago.
This is the opinion of Governor Leon
ard Osorio Reyes, special commits
sioner of the Philippine government, in
Chicago on his way home after year g
tour of investigation of harbor condi-
tions throughout the world. To this
circumstance he attributes much of the
unpopularity of Governor General w. c..
Forbes, of the Islands.
"Onr new Governor General" said
Governor Reyes, "does not stand near
ly as high in the opinion of the people
as his predecessor. He is spending too
much money and resulting high taxes
levied on the people are breeding pro
nounced discomfort Then, too, his re-
cent action with regard to the exclusion
of Chinese immigrants has caused much
unfavorable comment. That is undoubt
edly the reason for Secretary Dickin-
sons present visit to the islands,

CITY SHOWN IN MINIATURE.
Marion County viii Make Unique Ex-
hibit at State Fair.

Salem-George L. Schneider, instruc.
to of art in the local public schools, has
started work on Marion county's exhibit
for the State Fair, which promises to
be the best ever attempted by this
county.
The exhibit will be in the shape of a
panorama of the City of Salem and
Marion County. The foreground will
be the Willamette river, real water,
and then, with miniature models of
buildings, will be the city, extending
back into the fertile lands beyond and
the various mountain peaks. Different
changes of light to indicate the times
of day and night win continue at in
tervals, indicating the city and country
in its various phases. This will be done
by electrical effects, which in the model
indicates a beautiful scene. The pro-
scenium arch will be eight feet high
and IA feet in width.
Mr.. Schneider, who has charge of the
work, painted the scenery and arranged
the electrical effects of the cyclorama
of the Johnstone flood and the Chicago
fire as shown in the White City, at the
latter place, indicating that the work
on the Marion County exhibit will be
of the best. The balance of the exhibit
will be made up Of various products
which will be arranged on both sides of
broad aisle leading up to the pano-
rama.

AVIATOR BEATS TRAIN.
Curtiss Makes New Record in Flying
Over Water,

Cleveland, O.-Racing with a fast
Lake Shore mail train, Glenn H. Cur
tiss, the aviator, drove his biplane over
the water from Cedar Point to Euclid
Beach, an air line distance of so miles,
completing 120-mile run he began
yesterday and establishing an unques.
toned world IS record for over-the- water
flights. He beat the train into Cleve.
land by IL minutes.
Encountering contrary air currents,
Curtiss was unable to maintain high
speed, taking ! hour and AZ minutes for
the flight. The actual distance ira
versed, estimated at the United States
photographic Office, was 64% miles.
The first ten miles were covered in 13
minutes, but after that the breeze grew
gusty, necessitating many dips and ma
neuvers. The 100000 people lining the
lake-front and perched on the top of
every available building in Cleveland
had opportunity to Judge the difficulty
of air navigation under unfavorable
conditions.
Later the aviator was entertained at
a banquet given by the Cleveland Aero
Club.

l,4OO ARE DROWNED
Floods in Japan Cause Enormous
Loss Of Life.
Starvation Ends Misery of Men Who
Had Climbed to Tops of Poles
to Escape Drowning.

Victoria, Sept. 6.-More than 400
lives were lost in the Japanese
floods according to official reports
received by the Kamakura Maru to-
day. In addition several hundred
are missing. Arrivals by the steamer
say the scenes in Central Japan
were of unparalleled misery and
deStitution. Many cases of looting
by boatmen were reported from the
flooded districts of Toxic and the
health authorities were bending
every effort to prevent the outbreak
of epidemics.
M. L. Ryan, who took food to the
HOMO district of Toxic says the
official estimates of the deaths is
far too low. He tells of finding
houses where parties from 20 to 100
in number were cut off and starving
and estimates that 1000 periShed in
this district alone.
In Senju districts number of
persons climbed telephone poles to
escape the waters and starved to
death.
Relief parties found the bodies of
13 men and women tied with ropes
to posts.
The official list for is prefec-
lures shows the drowned or missing
10 total 1113, While more than $780,,
900 houses were flooded and
wrecked, 1898 being swept away.
More than $4,000 acres of land
were flooded and 100000 people
are homeless and are receiving re-
lief.
Among the victims was the fam
ilv of Mr.. Kondo, president of the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha. who were
drowned when his villa was de-
moliShed.
The great floods were followed by
heavy storms at sea, in which sew
eral Japanese steamers were badly
wrecked. The steamer Hokuriku
Maru was lost in TSuruga Strait,
with all hands, on August 13.
On the same day the Shingu Maru
went ashore near AtSuta, her COM
plement of 1870 being saved by reve-
nue. steamers. The Kwannon Maru,
which was driven into Toba for
shelter, had some of her boats
rushed by panic stricken pasSen-
gers who thought she was about to
founder. The boat crews left the
vessel and their fate was uncertain
when the Antilochus left The YES
sci ultimately reached Yokkaichi in
safety.
The big volunteer steamer Ume-
gaki Maru had severe struggle
with the gale with 308 passengers
on board and reached Yokkaichi i'm
distress with her coal exhausted.
Several other steamers suffered and
several sailing vessels were badly
wrecked. the Eiriki Maru. laden
with coal. foundered off Nikijima,
Miye Prefecture, her captain and
several others being drowned. Two
schoonerS also foundered, a ma
jority of those on board swimming

BORING LAND FOR CELERY.
j. D. Lee is Ready to Develop Bea-
verdam Land for Local Market.

Boring = Celery growing can be
made profitable industy in the vicin-
ity of Boring, in the opinion of j. D..
Lee, who has purchased 100 acres of
land here with a view to establishing
acreage tracts to be sold to gardeners.
Of the property which Mr.. Lee in
tends to develop there are 40 acres of
beaver dam soil, and the rest is of sed-
imentary deposit and can be readily ir-
irrigated. Mr.. Lee believes that
enough of the luscious vegetable can
be produced within few miles of the
city to supply the local markets of
Portland.
Mr.. Lee wishes to interest some high
class gardener in his property on which
there are also openings for a green
house man, dairyman, florist and a
fruit grower. 1t is the purpose of the
owner to secure tenants who will spe-
cialize.
This is only an example of many
other similar acreage tracts that can
be converted into paying farms with
slight capital.

sMUaaLERs INDICTED.
officers Say They win Break Up the
Practice if Possible.

New York--Two indictments--one
against Mrs. I. Reynolds Adriance of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and the other
against Mrs. Mayme McKenna Of Chi
cago, who were arrested by customs
authorities upon their return from Eu-
rope on charges of smuggling-were
returned by the Federal grand jury.
Suspicion was aroused in the case of
Mrs. Adriance by the finding in the
crown of her expensive Partisan hat a
necklace valued at $4,000. She had in
her possession other valuable jawelry,
the gems being roughly estimated as
worth in excess Of 100000. The au.
thorities also seized $4,000 necklace
from Miss Marion, the daughter of
Mrs. Adriance, who accompanied her.
These arrests were made ON Sunday
and there has been much activity in
the case since that time. Relatives of
Mrs. Adriance summoned jewellers from
Poughkeepsie, this city and other points
and she proved today that all these
jewels excepting the necklace had been
purchased in this country She ex-
planned the presence of the necklace in
her hat with the statement that she did
it to foil possible robbers on ship-boar
and after she had disembarked.
She does not admit or deny that this
necklace was purchased abroad and the
authorities are holding her under bond
of $500, pending thorough investiga-
tion.
The customs officials assert they will
break up smuggling practices, regard
less of who is hit.
Customs authorities are adding many
investigators to the force, in view of
the unprecedented rush homeward of
American tourists, who fear the spread
of cholera in Europe. 1t is expected
that a large number of these tourists
will endeavor to smuggle in jewelry
and other dutiable goods and the off
cials are preparing for the rush.

PHONES TO BE REGULATED.
New York Commission Also Assumes
Charge Of Telegraphs

New York-The public service com
mission of the Second district has as
sumed jurisdiction of telephone and
telegraph companies operating in New
York State and opened its New York
City Office in the Metropolitan tower,
Under the new law, all telephone
companies, corporations, associations,
partnerships or persons owning or oper-
ating any telephone lines in the state
for profit, whose property is in excess of
value of 100000, will come under the
jurisdiction of the commission.
The new law is very similar to that
which has been in force during the
last three~ years, covering other public
service corporations.
Telephone and telegraph companies
are required to afford adequate service
at just and reasonable rates, and dis
elimination in favor of any particular
person or corporation and in giving any
unreasonable preference of any kind is
prohibited.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CT THE STATE'
INDIAN LANDS TO BE SOLD.
Heirs Have Privilege Of Selling Good
Stock Land.

Sk0NN A-oH0s
Klamath Falls-The first sale of al
lotted lands on the Klamath Indian
reservation will be made at the expira-
tion of 60 days. Under the regulations
governing the allotments the heirs of
the allottee have the privilege Of SELL
ing the inherited lands. Three quarter
sections are now being advertised. The
law requires that before the lands can
be transferred they must be advertised
in newspaper of general circulation
for period of so days. At the end Of
this period the sealed bids are opened
and if they are up to the estimate
placed on the land by the Indian agent
and if the bid is satisfactory to the
heirs, then deed can be issued. How
ever, several afidavits must first be
made that the parties to the transac-
tion are not conspiring to defraud the
government.
The lands to be sold are said to be
good for raising stock. Much of the
Klamath reservation is especially
adapted to raising cattle and horses.
During the past week the Indian agent
has received 100 full blood Hereford
and Shorthorn bulls from Nebraska.
These will be distributed among the
Indians free of charge. Last year
1000 young heifers we're distributed
among the Indians. Their herds are
being brought up to the standard by
the importation of this fine stock.
The Indians are given full possession,
but cannot sell the cattle given them.
It is believed that next year the
Klamath reservation will be opened to
settlement. The Indians are now
using very small portion of the 48
townships included in the reserve.
The allotments made cover a very
small portion of the whole area.
When this vast area is opened to set
tlement it will add greatly to the
wealth of klamath county.

ENGINEER FAsTs 81 DAYS.
Record for Abstinence Broken and
Stomach Trouble Cured.


Denver-A new record for long
fasting is believed to have been
made by Roland MoelIer, a young
civil engineer, who, after going 81
days without food, began taking
nourishment in the form of orange
and plum juices. Young Moeller,
whose rather is a prominent physi-
clan of Milwaukee, began his fast
for the purpose of regaining his
health. He had been suffering from
stomach trouble and a form of
deafness that he believed could be
cured by abstaining from eating.
When he began his fast Moeller
weighed 148 pounds. Today he
weighs 81 and one half pounds.
For the last two or three weeks one
of the four physicians who have
been watching Moeller has been
giving him daily olive rubs and
these are believed to have given
him noufishmept sufficient to sus-
tain him beyond the 40-day period
of fasting which physicians say is
the limit of safety.

OREGON PEACH CROP is GOOD.
Wallowa County Fruit Men Enter Mar
ket This Year.

Wallowa-Peach crops in this county
are just beginning to come on the mar
ket. In the Powwatka and Promise
sections the yield is reported above the
average this year and the quality of
the best. P. E. Knapp, who has charge
of two large orchards on the Grande
Ronde River near Powwatka, this coun-
ty, was recently in this city arranging
for the marketing of his products. Al,
though the orchards are young, he ex-
poets to market fully 200 boxes of
peaches of excellent quality. He will
also market $50 boxes of tomatoes.
Heretofore, practically all fruit mar
keted in this county came from neigh.
boring communities at greatly advanced
prices, but a few pioneers of this in
dustry have demonstrated that first class
peaches can be grown here.

Plumas County Goes DRY.

Quincy, Cal, Sept. 3.-Every saloon
in Plumas closed its doors at 12 'clock
last night and went out of business.
Each of the six saloons in Quincy this
morning had a great sign across its
front with the single word "closed. F."
The local option law, that was voted
for some time ago, went into effect at
midnight, and while the saloon men
have made up their minds to obey it,
they evidently intend to make condi-
tions just as disagreeable as they can,
hoping to have a more favorable vote
at another election on the liquor ques-
tion in November.

fire will all be under control within the

single fire is showing any great amount
of activity and the fire fighters are
now patrolling rather than battling
