TAFT DENIES GREED
Says United States Is Not Anbi.
tiOuS TO Extend Domain.
sAlIusion is to Mexico-Says We Know
What War Means-Want
None of 1t.

Baltimore, May 4.-President Taft
in his speech at the opening Of the
Third National Peace conference here
today, said the United States would
keep hands off and not seek to extend
its domain or to acquire foreign terri
tory. He made no mention of Mex
leo, but to those who heard him it was
evident that he referred to the south
ern republic.
Zone of the difficulties the United
States finds is the natural suspicious
that the countries engaged have of the
motives the United States has in ten
dering its good offices" continued the
president. "Asseveration of good
faith helps but little where suspicion
is the rule, and yet like to avail my
self of an opportunity in such pres
ence as this to assert that there is not
in the whole length and breadth of the
United States among it's people any
desire for territorial aggrandizement
and that its people as a whole will not
permit its government, if it would,
to take any steps in respect to foreign
peoples, looking to forcible exten-
sion of our political power.
"We have had wars and we know
what they are. We know what re-
sponsibilities they entail, the burdens
and losses and horrors, and we would
have none of them. We have a mag
nifcent domain of our own in which
we are attempting to work out and
show to the world success in popular
government, and we need no more
territory in which to show this. But
we have attained great prosperity and
great power. We have become a
powerful member of the. community
of nations in which we live and there
is, therefore, thrust upon US necessar-
lily care and responsibility for the
peace of the world in our neighbor-
hood, and burden of helping those
nations that cannot help themselves,
if we may do that peacefully and
effectively"
The president spoke to several
thousand persons in the Lyric theater.
Cardinal Gibbons, Secretary of War
Dickinson, Senator Gore, of Okla

BIRDS FLOCK TO KLAMATH.
Lake County Fast Becoming Famous
Breeding Place.

Klamath Falls-That klamath coun-
ty is becoming famous as a breeding
place and that the establishing of the
Lower klamath Lake bird reserve by
Colonel Roosevelt when president of
the United States was a good move
for the future bird industry of the
entire county is attested by Deputy
Game Warden Lewis, who is in charge
of this reserve, which lies partly in
Northern California and partly in
Southern Oregon.
Mr. Lewis has just returned from a
trip of several days spent in the Low
er lake region, where he was looking
after the birds of that reserve for the
Federal government. He states that
from all appearances more of the
feathered tribe of all kinds will nest
on what are known as Bird Islands
this year than has been the case for
years. Among these will be millions
of geese and ducks of every kind,
while cranes, cormorants, pelicans and
other kinds of non-game birds are
nesting there in great numbers.

INDUSTRIAL Development OF THE STATE
MUST NOT TAINT STREAMS.
State Board of Health Has Posters
Distributed in National Forests.

Thousands of posters warning camp
ers against polluting of streams are
being distributed throughout the ma
tional forests of Oregon by forest
rangers, at the instance of the state
board of health. They read;
"Danger-Forest rangers, hunters,
campers and tourists contract typhoid
fever every year from polluted
streams.
"Section 224O, Oregon laws, says: :
If any person shall put any excre-
ment, or any putrid, nauseous, decay
ing, deleterious substance in any
spring, brook or branch of running
water, he shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, etc. This law must be
enforced. Oregon State Board of
Health.
"In addition to rigid law enforce
ment we ask cooperation of campers
and all others who enter national for
ests, said DR.. Calvin S. White, state
health officer. 1.-THE running streams
of Oregon that should properly be
pure as the snow in the mountains
whence they flow, have been made sew
ers by the carelessness and ignorance
of those who enter the forests. Now
that the danger, not only to campers,
but to all others, is known, there
should be, and think will be, such
care taken as will contribute to the
general safety and public health. "
The state board of health has writ
ten to the government authorities at
Washington, asking in whom author
ity is vested to prevent pollution of
streams in. Crater Lake national for
est. Z This is rendezvous for hundreds
of campers during summer months.

CENSUS DATA FOR OREGON.
Great and Small Gains in Population
Are Features.

Washington - Notable increases in
population are shown in the revised
report of the census of Oregon cities
and towns just completed by the CEN
sus bureau, and 10 increases are also
recorded. Outside of Portland the
growth of Salem is the greatest, the
capital city now housing 1904 peo-
pie compared to 4,258, its population
when the census was taken in 1900.
Fully as interesting are the slight
increases in population in a decade
shown by many cities. Athena, in
Umatilla county, gained only 83
since 1900; Baker 70; Bay City, Til
lamook county, 78; Beaver Hill, Coos
county, 80; Copperfeld, Baker coun-
ty, 20; Dundee, Yamhill county, 72;
Gervais, Marion county, 16; Mount
Angel, 8; lone, Morrow county, 16;
Pendleton, Umatilla county, 81; YER
onia, Columbia county, Z; Waterloo,
Linn county, "a, and Yamhill, Yam
hill county, II.
Among the cities for which loss of
population is recorded are Adams,
Antelope, Arlington, Butteville, Gran
ite, Harvey, Harrisburg, Heppner,
John Day, and Long Creek. The pop
ulation dwindling of Butteville is the
worst, the count in 1900 being SAT
and only 49 ten years later.

Rain Helps Hopgrowsrs.

Forest Grove. -Hopgrowers in this
section are hailing the occasional
showers with delight. While the rain
has interfered with the work in the
yards the growers believe that the
showers came at an opportune time to
give the growing plants the moisture
necessary for growth. Throughout
this section much work has been in
progress in the yards, in the way of
"suckering" and training the vines.
Hopyards in the Castor and Banks
look exceptionally well.

Mexico City, May General Por-
firio Diaz tonight issued a manifesto
to the peope of Mexico declaring his
intention of resigning the presidency
as soon as peace is restored. In this
manner the president has virtually ac-
ceded to the demands of Francisco l.
Madero that he make announcement of
such intention.
AS to when peace is actually re-
stored, General Diaz reserves the
right to be the Judge. In the words
of the manifesto, it will be when,
according to the dictates of my con-
science, l am sure that my resignation
will not be followed by anarchy"
The president said his determination
not to relinquish the presidency at
this time was not due to vanity or love
of power, because, as he pointed out,
power at this time had no attraction,
accompanied as it is by tremendous
responsibilities and worry. He said
he was prompted solely by a desire to
conserve the best interests of his
country.
The president made it clear he does
not propose to abandon the presidency
while his country is at war and that
he would not do so at any time under
compulsion. President Diaz' mani
festo will be made public tomorrow
morning, but it will not be sent Off
cially to Judge Carbajal for formal
transmission to DIR. Vasquez Gomez.
The promise of the president is
made to the people of Mexico and its
receipt by the revolutionist swill be in
cidental. That it will be sent to
them Immediately, however, by pri-
vate individuals and regarded as en-
tirely satisfactory by them is taken
for granted.

Dates MAY Be Changed.

Washipgton-A change of the date
of the inauguration of the president is
assured of ratification by the 62d con-
gress, and it is not improbable similar
action will be taken to change the
date of holding national elections.
The proposal changes the date of the
Inauguration from March to the last
Thursday in April. The date of hold
ing national elections would be chang
ed from the first Tuesday in Novem-
ber to the first Tuesday in April pre-
ceding the expiration of the terms of

formulated in New York to launch an
insurrections in Venezuela to depose
President Juan Vincente Gomez, by
Alexandra Rivas Vasquez, a member
Of the Venezuelan congress from the
state of Apure and a former cabinet
officer during the administration of
Cipriano Castro.
In long interview, discussing the
plan, DR.. Vasquez is reported as say
ing that President Gomez has estab-
lished a dictatorship in Venezuela

be given support by patriotic Ven
ezuelans abroad and by my own com
patriots in Venezuela. / have already

RAINBOW MINE PURCHASED.
Big Eastern Company Pays $780,
600 tor Property.

Baker-By the terms of a transac-
tion announced here one of the biggest
mining deals in recent years in Oregon
goes on record. The United States
Smelling company has purchased the
Rainbow mine, in the Mormon Basin
district, from the Commercial mining
company, for consideration of $780,
900. The initial payment was $780,
600. The closing of this deal is the
greatest boost the Eastern Oregon
mines have ever received. The COM
ing of the United States company
means the greatest activity in the
mining industry the state has ever
seen.
The Rainbow property was discov-
cred about nine years ago and was
developed from a prospect mainly
through the efforts of w. E. King,
of Hood River. The other principal
mines in the district are the Humboldt
and Cleveland, but there are also
many properties in the immediate
neighborhood that are in greater or
less stages of development. The
transaction means more than anything
else to the mining industry of Eastern
Oregon. A. P. Anderson and H. S.
Lee, the engineers of the United
States Smelling & Refining company,
are now in charge. They have begun
their arrangements for men and added
equipment and state that they will
begin operations on large scale as
soon as possible.

LABOR WAR RACES.
Chicago Workers Forced to Flee for
Lives-Strike Spreads.

Chicago, May professional slug
gers and hired "gun men" ran riot in
the city today, while government and
state officials, architects, building
contractors and international labor un-
ion officials worked in an effort to re-
store harmony in the industrial field.
Late tonight all negotiations be-
tween the freight handlers and the
railroads were declared off and a
strike will probably be called tomor-
row. This will involve the territory
in an area from the Canadian border
to New Orleans and the Pennsylvania
line to Western Iowa. 1t will also
bring in the teamsters in all affected
cities.
A new element of discord was in
jected into the troubled building
trades situation when the Otis Eleva-
tor company hired elevator construc-
tors to take the place of the ma
chinists who have been doing the
work for two years. Sluggers work
ing for the machinists who were GUS
ted by the company raided a number
of buildings and attacked the elevator
constructors, with the result that one
man is in the Alexander Brothers
hospital and number of others are
seriously injured.
In the plumbers and steamftters
war, international association steam
filters were driven at the points of re-
from two school buildings
where they were employed.

More Convicts for Roads.

Salem Attorneys for Lowenberg,
Going & Co. are negotiating with Gov
ernor West for a renewal of the con-
tract for labor at the penitentiary,
which the governor has declared for
feited because the stove foundry peo-
pie are in default on their payments.
The governor says he will insist upon
a release of a large number of the
convicts the state is obliged to furnish
Lowenberg, Going & Co., under the
present contract, so they may be used
in building public roads.

CHANCE GIVEN CoNVICTs.
Governor West Plans Employment in
State institutions

State institutions
Salem-Another new prison policy
is announced by Governor West. Con-
victs are being sent gradually to the
various state institutions to act as en-
ployes. In this capacity they will be
unguarded and will have virtually the
same privileges that are extended to
the other employees. They will prob
ably be paid rs cents day as spend
ing money or to be placed to their
credit against the time of their re-
lease.
"If 100 men at the prison can be
placed at some employment which will
be of value to the state, great saw
ing can be made, said the governor.
Estimating the labor of these men as
valued at So day, it would mean a
saving of nearly $200,0 900 annually.
~ am now working on plans where
by l hope to accomplish just this
thing and place at least 100 men at
work. A new contract with the Low
enberg & Going company will make
such a move possible and / believe it
can be accomplished.
''In the meantime as many men as
l can possibly find room for will be
placed at the institutions and have de-
cent labor to perform. | am satisfied
under the conditions they will need
no guard and will be on a quicker road
to reform than under the former sys-
tom -

Mazatlan Standing Siege.

Nogales, Mexico-What is believed
to be an authentic report has reached
this city from Mazatlan, the big port
on the western coast of the state of
Sinaloa, saying it is completely sur
rounded by rebels. The Mexican gun
boat began shelling the rebel position
from the harbor, but yielded to the
united protests of foreign consuls and
ceased firing, and later put to sea.
Trains are not running to Mazatlan
from the north, the rebels having
burned bridge 18 miles out. Trains
south to Culiacan are also stopped.

special train has brought all persons
living in the danger zone to safety.
At Clearwater Bay, Is miles from
Kenora, Ont, on the Lake of the
Woods, bush fires have been raging for
the last two days. There is no settle
ment there. Fire rangers report the
country dry and small fires along the
railway right of way at many points
may spread to dangerous proportions.

Hunnewell, Kan.-Hunnewell's new
mayor, Mrs. Ella Wilson, has clashed
with the city council. On Mrs. Will
sons motion the council voted last
week to meet in a local hotel. The
five councilmen went to the hotel to
hold their meeting, but Mrs. Wilson
"met" in feed store. She had the
clerks journal and other papers, but
as she alone was not quorum, neither
session transacted any business.
Meanwhile two women who were to
have been appointed city clerk and
marshal, still lack their commissions.

plAz PROMISES TO RESIGN.
But Insists That Revolution Must BE
Ended First.
Events Exciting.

Following is a resume of exciting
developments in the Mexican situa-
tion, given in their proper sequence ::
Madero announces that in defer
ence to United tSates, he will give
up plan to attack Juarez, take his
troops from the neighborhood of
the international boundary and
start south with cry, "On to Mexico
City"
Rebels apparently change plans
and prepare to make midnight at
tack on Juarez.
When rebel guns are trained on
Juarez and attack is about to begin,
the news of Diaz' announcement
reaches insurrecto leaders and both
attack on Juarez and expedition to
south are halted. Peace is thought
near at hand.
