MAY PLANT BASS.
South Umpqua Declared Ideal for
Propagation of Species.

Roseburg.-The likelihood of black
bass being planted in the South Ump-
qua river is again strong, after the
discouraging statement made here
two weeks ago by Deputy Fish War
den r.: E. Clanton. Local anglers
who have been trying to secure bass
for the river here received substan-
tial encouragement from another
deputy warden, Thomas ]. Craig,
who was sent here by Chief Warden
Finley to plant trout fry in the North
Umpqua. Mr.. Craig, after an inves-
tigation of conditions, declared him
self emphatically in favor of supply
ing the South Umpqua with bass and
will make an unqualified recommen-
dation to that effect to Mr.. Finley.
Clanton when here expressed him
self opposed to planting bass in the
South Umpqua, not because he
thought the stream was not adapted
for their propagation, but because
he feared they would migrate into
the North Umpqua and exterminate
the trout, as they are doing in other
rivers. Craig declares that bass will
not inhabit stream as cold as the
North Umpqua. Furthermore, he
declared, the North Umpqua affords
neither proper food for bass nor the
right kind of places for spawning
grounds. The South Umpqua, on the
other hand, affords both. In fact,
the South Umpqua is the best stream
in the state for the propagation of
bass, according to Mr.. Craig.
Mr.. Craig released $4,000 trout
fry of the Rainbow and brook varie-
ties. Some of them were planted in
Deer creek, but the bigger part went
into the North Umpqua, up as far as
Rock creek, where 10000 alone were
planted

OREGON TIMBER is ACTIVE.
Recent Deals inI State Bring in Al
most Sc, 100000 New Money.

be approximately $1,50O,00O. An
immense tract of timber in Tilla-
nook county is being negotiated for
by Louisiana syndicate of timber
men. This deal Involves a consider
alton of over 100000.
The Wheeler Timber Company has
purchased large body of timber in
Lane county from the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Company. The considcra-
tion was not announced, but is un-
derstood to be about $1,000,000.
Porter Brothers, railroad contract
ors, with headquarters in Portland,
have added 250,000,0O0 feet to their
already large holdings in the Siuslaw
district. This deal involved a con-
sideration of about $250,0OO.

Pendleton, Cre.-Pendleton will
set a new style and new standard in
municipal gala dress during Round

brilliance, elaborateness and origi-

and banners depicting bucking horses
and other wild west scenes, while
each post will be draped to a height
of eighteen feet and connected with
each other by string of vari-colored
pennants. Business houses and pri-
vate dwellings will also display their
festal colors and prizes will be Of
fered for the best decorations.

HAS FULL AUTHORITY.
Major Butler Will Deal With Mica
raguan Situation.

Washington, d. C.-The collier
Justin arrived at Corinto Wednes-
day with $50 marines under the COM
mand of Major Butler, who reported
to Captain Terhune, commanding the
gunboat Annapolis, who has been
given full authority to deal with the
military situation in Nicaragua as it
affects American interests.
1t is believed this marine force will
at once be dispatched to Managua,
six hours by rail from Corinto. The
state department awaits a cable as
to what occurred upon the arrival of
the marines at the capital city.
American Minister Weitzel has
protested to the rebels against the
bombardment of Managua, which is
filled with women and children and
noncombatants. The state depart
ment has let it be known that it
does not intend to tolerate lawless
shelling and killing of helpless peo-
pie and the endangering of Ameri-
can lives.

SAYS NEGRO WAS HELD BACK
Phenomenal Splinter Did Not Par
ticipate in Olympic Games.

That the United States kept How
ard P. Drew, the Springfield negro
lad, out of the final neat of the 100
meter dash at the Olympic games at
Stockholm when it found that Amer
lea had white man that. could win,
is the canard going the rounds in
Paris.
According to this strange yarn,
Matt McGrath and Pat Mcdonald, the
New York police athletes, kept
guard over Drew in closed room the
afternoon of the finals so as to be
sure that he remained away from the
track.
Drew had no chance in the world
to participate in the finals, as Bellah,
Hayward, Hawkins and all the Amer
leans knew. The colored lad injured
mis- leg in the preliminaries and tried
out the injured limb within one hour
of the finals only to find himself on
the shelf
He told Trainer Murphy then that
his leg would be unable to stand the
strain, SO was not entered. The acct
dent was unfortunate, too, for Drew
is classed by Trainer Bill Hayward
of Oregon as the most remarkable
sprinter of the age America was
fortunate enough to win all three
places, Ralph Craig taking first. Al
Meyer second and Lippincott third.

SHORTHAND RECORD MADE.
New York Stenographer Averages
$50 Words Minute.

New York.-The worlds record
for shorthand speed was broken here
last week when Nathan Behring,
stenographer "of the supreme court,
wrote on an average of 2S0 words a
minute for five consecutive minutes.
The previous record was 269
words a minute.
Mr.. Behring also made a new
worlds record for accuracy, having a
percentage of 97,3. He won a silver
cup
Twenty-one writers entered the
contest, but the test was so severe
that only five qualified. The dicta-
tion matter consisted of lecture, a
charge to a jury and court testimony,
the rate of speed being respectively
200, 240 and 2S0 words a minute.
A small penalty was imposed for
each material error in the final tran
script. Behring's percentage of ac-
curacy on the MISUNDERSTANDING
matter was 9S.7, a new record.

SURVEY EAULTY.
State Land Found to Have Flaw in
Title.

Salem, Ore.-Discovery was made
Friday afternoon at a meeting of the
state land board that an early sur
vey of section 16, township 5 north,
range 26 east, because of an error,
fails to show that the state if an
owner of the section, and pending
further investigation of the subject
bids for its purchase were rejected.
A river flowing through the land was
apparently made a boundary line
and its course enormously placed on
the map. AS consequence, when
the state sold lands situated below
the section, depending on this survey
for guide, the description indicated
the other owners lands extended to
the river. When the land in the sec
tion was advertised for sale these
owners protested, contending that
the description took in their lands
The board decided to re-advertise fol
bids and will depend on another sur.
vey for a description of the land.

REBELS SCATTER.
Defeated Members of Orozco's Army
Turn Brigands.

Washington, d. C.-Defeated in
almost every brush they have had
with the government troops, the
rebels which formed Orozco's army
have broken up into small parties
and are engaged in the destruction
of property and the robbing of small
towns.
The American consul at Hermo-
sillo reports that after their defeat
at Alamos and Ures the revolution
lists destroyed five bridges at Pes
queira and cut the telegraph after
looting the town. Retreating from
Montezuma toward Hermosillo be-
fore the government troops, the
rebels are now threatening Nogales.
Anticipating an attempt on the part
of the rebels to cross the border, the
war department communicated with
the commander of the American
troops stationed at Douglas, warning
him of this movement and authoriz-
ing him to call for reinforcements
from Fort Huachuca.
