Visitors to German World Fair Hang
Fast to Dimes.
Brussels, Germany-Half the Ameri.
can attractions at the Brussels exposi-
tion are not making expenses, as the
Belgians, French and Germans do not
part easily with their dimes.
The "Wild West" show has been a
failure, and the English syndicate re-
sponsible for it was unable to pay the
Indians, who then became greatly ex-
cited. Frank C. Goings, who was in
charge of the Red men, appealed to
American Consul General Ethelbert
Watts, who by prompt and energetic
action restored the confidence of the
Indians.
Numerous conferences were held at
the American consulate by Consul
Watts, Mr.. Goings, Red Shirt, Chief
White Bear and M. De Laval, legal
adviser of the consulate. Mr.. Watts
finally decided to cable Robert G. Val
entine, commissioner of Indian affairs
in Washington, to arrange transporta-
tion for the Indians back to their res
ervation in America. AS a result 81
Indians and eight children will be sent
nome at the expense of the American
government.

USE FOR BURNT TREES.
Railroad to Give Burnt Cedar of Coos
County Trial as Pilng.

Marshfeld--A. F. Estabrook G. Co.,
of San Francisco, which firm operates
at Bandon, in Coos county, has under
taken an experiment which, if success
tul, may prove big thing in the way
of lumber industry. The company
has an order from the Santa Fe rail-
road for 1900 cedar piling as a trial
order. These piling are to be made
from the burnt cedar which is on the
ground in cut-over districts throughout
the timber where there have been fires.
1t is now presumably useless and a
waste, but if the piling suits the pur-
poses of the railroad they will be or
dered on large scale and the industry
of working the cedar logs on the
ground in this way will add greatly to
the hlumber industry OF. the Coquille
valley. The piling will all be shipped
out of Bandon. The Estabrook com
panys has also taken the contract for
large amount of telephone
and telegraph poles. The company
has bought the timber on 900 acres of
land belonging to the Doe estate and
located near Bandon and a force of
men is at work turning out the
poles which are being shipped. There
s also a large amount of matchwood
low going out of Bandon.

manufacturers, jo5bers and retailers,
and | believe that there will be no diff
Guilty in raising that amount. Every
one recognizes the value of making
Crater Lake accessible, as it will bring
thousands of tourists from all parts of
the United States, and the world, to
Oregon. In the omnibus bill passed
by congress SIS, 900 was appropriated
for the Crater Lake road, provided
we raise $40, 900. We'll get the $2O,-

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE
BUILD SPUR INTO TIMBER BELT
85 Mile Contract Let on Natron-Vale
Branch Line.

Crescent-Railroad activity, which
was temporarily suspended recently by
reason of the order holding up con-
struction on the south 70 miles of the
Oregon Trunk line, gives promise of
renewal in the awarding of 85 miles of
construction work by the Southern Pa
cific to Erickson & Peterson, contract
ors. 1t is understood the work is to be
done on the Natron-Vale branch of the
new road now building toward Cres-
cent from Eugene. A camp at Hazel
Dell just across the range has been
connected with the Hoey ranch, IL
miles west, where force of Southern
Pacific men is employed building a
wagon road so that freight and sup
plies may be taken to the camps. AL
though no official announcement has
been made, it is asserted on good au-
thority that construction camp will
be established this side of the summit,
within 80 miles of Crescent, within 80
days.
The preliminary survey of the Ma
tron-Vale line runs about a mile south
of Crescent, but negotiations are now
on foot for the purchase of the right of
way through the town and the railroad
has secured from the Interior depart
ment permission to change its survey
through the forest reserve, with the
it is stated, of bringing the
line into Crescent. A depot will likely
be put in here. General Manager
O'Brien of the o. r. q N. visited here
and made tour of the valley
20 the south of here, looking over the
work on the line from Klamath Falls,
in the direction of Crescent.
The Oregon Trunk line has purchased
light of way for spur to the Weyer-
lauser properties in the timber belt
long the Deschutes river, which passes
through the townsite holdings. The
umber company plans large mill at
his point as soon as the railroad reach .
s here.

Frustrated. Dogs were driven mad in
the streets and bit number of per-
sons.
There is no prospect for cooler
weather for two days. Fire escapes
and roofs are crowded with sufferers
seeking breath Of air. The parks,
bathing beaches and every open spot
contain sweltering humanity. Resi-
dences have now become so thoroughly
heated through by the long siege that
no relief is to be obtained inside the
houses.
A woman, while being taken to
hospital suffering from sunstroke died
in an Illinois trainshed while awaiting
a train. Her body was taken to the
undertaker's instead of the hospital.
A man was stricken by the sun
while working on roof. He fell to
the ground and died shortly after
reaching hospital.
Another man was stricken by the
heat and fell down an elevator shaft
three stories.
Of the many prostrated fully one
half will die after illness of more or
less lingering degree.
For the first time the water in the
lake was too warm for comfort to bath

ing about 900 feet out. This strip
of hot water nullifies the faint breezes
off the lake.

Every day without rain will increase
his ratio at a much faster rate.
Wheat is being forced to ripen on
talks no more than foot high and
he grain is badly shriveled at that.

REAL REFORM FOR CONGO.
Plans of Many Organizations of World
Go Into Effect.

Brussels-Congo reform, for which
the governments, churches, missionary
societies and other organizations
throughout the large part of the civil
lied world have been working for be-
came an accomplished fact July /, when
the plans formulated by the Belgian
ministry of the colonies and approved
by King Albert became effective.
simultaneously a large area of the
Congo region is opened to free COM
merce.
The reforms include the suppression
of polygamy, the substitution of ma
tive for white officials, a reduction in
the taxes, which will be collected in
money, and not paid in labor, and the
restriction of obligatory labor on the
part of adults to the works dedicated
to the improvement of their own con-
ditions.
The most vital feature of the reform
program is the provision for the sup
of forced labor, a situation
which has rendered possible the terri
bic conditions which in the past have
reused the horror of the civilized |
world.
Under the Leopold regime the col
lection of taxes through labor instead
ot money, enabled that monarch to
work his immense rubber trade free of
expense. A quota of so much rubber
IN lieu of taxes, was demanded from
each village, an amount which would
'equire the labor of every adult in the
village virtually all of his or her time.

It the required time was followed by

RAILROADS MUST PAY TAXES
Millions OF Acres Granted to Roads
to Be Surveyed.

Il
to Be Surveyed.
Washington-More than $4,000, 00O
acres of land, the unsuryeyed and un-
patented residue of enormous grants
made in times past to various rail
road companies, will be surveyed un-
der the provisions of law enacted in
the closing days OF the late session of
congress, and as soon as surveyed will
become subject to taxation.
Just how soon these surveys can be
made is problematical, but within a
year or Is months, this great acreage,
scattered through ten states and terri
tories, may begin paying taxes.
The bill was recommended by Secre-
tary Ballinger in his report last fall.
1t provides that any railroad corpora
tion required by law to pay the costs of
surveying, selecting or conveying any
lands granted by congress, shall, with
in 80 days from demand of the secre-
tary of the interior, deposit in a Unit
ed States depository to the credit of
the United States a sum sufficient to
pay the cost of surveying and convey
ing any part of the unsurveyed lands of
its grant.
Any railroad company which fails to
come forward with the money called
for by the secretary of che interior
within the time specified shall forfeit
to the United States its unsurveyed
and unpatented land, the forfeiture to
be brought about through legal pro-
,eedings instituted by the attorney
general. All granted lands surveyed
lnder this new law are declared by
to become subject to taxation

lpon the completion of survey.
