OREGON TO CELEBRATE.

ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. Zone week
hence there will be inaugurated here
the Astoria centennial carnival, for
which preparations on an elaborate
scale have been going forward for
more than year and are now prac-
tically completed. The carnival fes-
tivities will extend over an entire
month and will embrace a wide variety
of attractions. The management is in
receipt Of advices indicating the at
tendance of thousands of visitors from
all of the Pacific states and from
Canada and the east as we'll.
The celebration is to commemorate
the one hundredth anniversary of the
arrival on the Pacific coast of the ex-
pedition sent from New York by John
Jacob Astor. The expedition resulted
in the settlement of Astoria, which
gave the United States its strongest
claim to the Oregon country, and also
marked chapter Of American hero
ism and suffering that has first place
in the daring annals of exploration
The little group of huts erected by
the fur-traders and explorers was
named Astoria in honor of the pro-
moter of the expedition and formed
the first permanent settlement in this
part of the country. Though the Brit
ish took possession of Astoria Port in
the War Of 1912 and renamed the
place Fort George, the place was re-
stored to America after the treaty OF
peace with American claims of set
tlcment unimpaired.

Verdict in
Indian Case

The jury that had under considera-
ton the killing of the eight Indians
i'll Clover Valley by the posse is the
battle OF Sunday, February 10Th, re-
turned their verdict to Coroner Buck
ley at Golconda. A separate panel
from the one that conducted the Ho
gle inquest was employed.
The jury returned a verdict in each
OF the eight cases, those of the braves
stating that they came to their death
from gunshot wounds inflicted by
members Of a posse under command
Of Captain J p. Donnelly, of the
State Police, while resisting arrest
In the case of the Squaws and the
children the verdict stated that they
came 10 their death accidentally, be
ing iii the line Of fire at the battle,
and exonerated the posse from all re-
sponsibility in the matter.
The sum Of $50 in money taken
from the bodies of the dead Indians
was turned over to Coroner Buckley
and was used to dcfray the expenses
Of burial The Indians were all bur
led in one grave, over which a high
pole was erected, in order that it

the bodies of the dead men, 1t is
also stated that several men were Sc
verely injured in the snow slide
]. S. Cain. well known in this city,
is one OF the principal owners in the
destroyed plant. Mr.. j. F. Wood
bury OF this city. is also an interested
party. Mr. Woodbury. is keeping the
wires. hot in an endeavor To get fur
ther particulars regarding the acci-
dent and also learn the names OF the
men who met their death. As Mr.
Cain had one of his sons at the power
plant it is feared that he may be
among those who lost their lives.
The unusual heavy snow of the
past two months has practically filled
every side hill in the mountains with
heavy bank of snow During the
past few days rain has fallen on the
snow which softened the frost and
has allowed number of slides in the
mountains. Mono County is a scene
Of many such slides every year, but
the care that was taken by the power
company in selecting a site out OF the
range of such slides is what is caus-
ing considerable speculation. That
eight men were caught in the moving
snow tends TO show that the move
ment was entirely uneXpeCted as no
man who knows the mountains will
take any chances in a section that is
known to abound in avalanches, such
as occur annually in Mono County,
and especially about the May Lundy
and Crystal Lake section, which is
not far from the scene of the present
death dealing avalanche.
The almost impossible roads will
naturally retard progress in the hunt
for the buried men. and word from
Bodie and that section is 10 the effect
that the heaviest storm OF the season
has been on the past two days. More
snow is piled up over the Rodie sum-
NIT than since 1890. A portion of the
telephone line is down from Mono
Lake. which adds to the confusion
1t is expected that some additional
news will be CLEANED later in the at
ternoon from Hawthorne or Bodie.
