THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, 3IONDAT, DECEMBER 9, 1907. OREGON TAKES APPLE AWARDS Northwest Fruit Growers' As sociation Closes Success ful Meeting. PORTLAND NEXT SESSION E. X. Shepard, Vice-President or the Association, Tells of the Meet ing and Talks of Outlook for Fruit In Future. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Dec. S. (Special.) By the arrival today of Hon. B. L. Bmith, president of the Northwest Fruit growers' Association; B. H. Shepard, vice president, and G. R. Castner. Its newly elected treasurer, and A. L Mason, the weil-known orchardist, it is learned that of the nine prizes ottered for apples at the recent meeting of the association at Van couver, B. C, Oregon captured three. These all came to Hood River, which made but three entries and took the first end second prizes for the best commercial box of apples and the second prize for the best Ave boxes. The former went to A. I. Mason and B. H. Shepard and the latter to Mr. Mason. Except for the prize won by the Wenatchee district for the best general fruit display, the other awards were all made to British Colum bia fruit. The prizes received are in the form of handsome silver and bronze med als. Altogether over lflO entries were made in the competitive fruit exhibit. The meeting is characterized by the delegation from Hood River as the largest and most enthusiastic ever held by the association. In attendance were delegates from Idaho, Utah. Washington. Oregon tnd British Columbia, some of whom tame 1400 miles to be present. When asked for some of the more im portant and salient features of the meet ing and action taken at it, H. H. Shepard aid Mr. Shepard Tells of Meeting. probably the most important feature of the meeting was the fact that it was the unanimous sentiment of growers to put up a higher grade of fruit In many districts that have not heretofore given this matter the importance it deserves. When it was fully explained that every box of cull apples that is put on the market detracts from the value of first-grade fruit, delegates from all sections approved 'the idea to stop putting Inferior fruit on the market and send it to the elder mill or Tannery or utilize It In some way where it will not reduce the price for the best and will also result In-placlng a superior quality of apple in the hands of the consumer. Another matter that received considerable mention at the hands of the convention was that of the shortage of cars. While some were in favor of arbitrary methods in deal ing with the railroads, the majority, view ing tje situation from a more reasonable itanrtpolnt. are in favor of getting in close touch with the railroad commissions and agents for private car lines In the various itates and impressing them with the neces llty for better shipping facilities for the rapidly increasing and great development of !he fruit industry In the Northwest. Indeed this must be done and I think the transpor latlon lines will do It themselves if they are brought-to realize what this great fruit ln Suslry will mean to them in the very near future. - There Is scarcely any fruitgrowing dis trict whose output will not double In five years and some of them in less time. This means that where hundreds of cars are sow necessary thousands will have to be provided and the association and the rail roads must get together and provide trans portation facilities to guard against a great loss. - not only to the grower but to the sountry at large. Competitive Kxhiblts Abolished. With the meeting this year it was also leclded to abolish the competitive prizes for (xhlblts of fruit. It has been found that the awarding of prizes leaves more or less bad feeling and as the association IS rounaeu !or educational purposes and for bettering onilltions for the fruitgrower, the displays ?"trf,er. ";,".re""rd5 of mer,t ac" 'One of the most pleasing events of the meeting to the Oregon delegation was the vatlon' received by Mr. E. I.. Smith when sis name was put In nomination for re dectlon as president of the association. Al though he vehemently declined to accept ;he office for another year delegates from British Columbia would hear of no other nan mr tne position, and he wa loudly ind unanimously acclaimed Its executive ipnin. The entertainment provided for the vislt rs at Vancouver was the finest ever given members of the association. The Dominion government contributed .VW for this pur pose and the citizens and city Council more. At the banquet held there Friday evening the entertainment was royal and permeated by the best of good fellowship. The close relations between the United States and Canadian fruitgrowers was fur ther cemented. With practically all the officers of the association from Oregon this year and the next meeting place In Portland. 1 hope that the Rose City will respond generously to rntertaln our Canadian cousins, who promise to send the largest delegation from British Columbia that has ever attended any meet ing in the states. The meeting will be held some time next reremher and growers all aver the states have expressed themselves is anxious to make it a big success. ANTI-TUKATING IN DRY COUNTY L'utholic Triests Indorse the I.lnn Movement Recently Started. ALBANY. -Or.. Dec. S. (Special.) Kev. Father Arthur Lane and Rev. Father William McGhee. rector and as sistant respectively, of the local Roman Catholic church, today .indorsed the nntl-trcating movement recently Inau gurated in the Cathedral Parish at Portland. Father Lane spoke at the Lebanon Church and Father McGhee at Albany, and both heartily Indorsed the idea. Though it might be impracticable to form an Antl-Treatlng League In a "dry" county, the speakers said they wished to Indorse the spirit of the movement. SHERIFF GOES FOR PRISONER Ready lo Pay $00 Reward for Self-Confessed Slayer of Zaspell. HEPPNER, Or., Dec. S. (Special.) Word was received here this afternoon from Spokane to the effect that Webb McCaslin, the murderer of E. F. Zaspell, hud been arrested In that city. McCaslin admitted that 'ho killed Zaspell, but said he did it in self-defense. Sheriff Shutt and A. T. Mc Roberts left Immediately by team for Arlington to catch the night train for Spokane. The Sheriff took along a draft for $300, the reward for the mur derer. BOOST MARY'S RIVER APPLES Association of Fruitgrowers Formed Extend Industry. PHILOMATH, Or., Dec. 8. (Special.) The fruitgrowers of this section met to- Jay and effected an organization to be nown as the Mary River Fruitgrowers Association. Professor" Henry Sheak, one of the most progressive horticulturists of this section, is president and W. E. Cald well, secretary. Much interest is being taken in the mat ter by many farmers as hundreds of acres of trees and vines have been set out the past two years. The flavor and color of apples raised in this secon are equal to the best obtained from Hood River or Rogue River but so little attention has been paid to them that there are now practically no commercial orchards. The object of the association is to raise more and better fruit of all kinds. I Castle Rock in Darkness. CASTLE ROCK, Wash., Dec. 8. (Spe cial.) Castle Rock is in darkness because of the burning out of the dynamo in the power-house. This first occurred on Mon day night, when the machine was re placed with an old one. which alBO gave out. ' leaving the town In utter darkness. Very few of the citizens have lamps, and this, together with the Inconvenience caused pedestrians on the streets and the delays caused to business, made neces sary the employment of an expert, who is now engaged in going over the dynamo. This is the fir3t trouble that has been experienced with the lighting system since the reconstruction of the plant after the flood of last Spring. Queer Things in Schools. ALBANY, Or., Dec. 8. (Special.) Linn County has one school without a single boy pupil and another which no girls at tend. Of course both are in small re mote districts. District 84, In Fox Valley, near Lyons, has eight pupils, all of whom are boys, and District 119, near Sweet Home, has only five students and all are girls. Miss Vida Nanney, a graduate of the normal department of Albany Col lege last year. Is the teacher in the former district while the five girls in the latter district are Instructed by Miss Bessie Parsons. Normal Conditions at Philomath. PHILOMATH, Or., Dec. ?. (Special.) The Benton County Lumber Company and the Webster tie and lumber mill as well as other sawmills of this section are pre paring to open again as soon as favorable weather permits. The financial flurry caused only temporary embarrassment here and has been over for some time. The outlook at present Indicates usual conditions during the coming Winter. Merchants also report their trade as good or better than a year ago. PORTLAND MAN IS KILLED Joseph McNeil Falls rFrom Fourth Story of Tacoma Hotel. TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 8. (Special.) Falling from the fourth story of the New port Hotel. Seventeenth and Commerce streets. Joseph McNeil, a plasterer, was Instantly killed today. The body was found at the edge of the sidewalk by S. J. Hall, a lodger, who was on his way to his room. McNeil is said to have made the remark that "he couldn't get any money ahead and might just as well be dead." Therefore two theories have been advanced either that he deliberately end ed his life or else accidentally fell from the window. The latter Is given greatest credence. McNeil came from Portland three weeks ago. Cse of Narcotic Drugs. Philadelphia Ledger. Drug habits are probably far less prev alent and Injurious than they are painted. Persons who are addicted to cocaine, mor- phine, chloral and the rest are secret in their Indulgences. It Is hard to measure the extent to which habits of the kina ' prevail Bvidence is clear that certain parasitic classes In the submerged dis tricts of Northern cities contain large numbers of victims. Negroes of similar parasitic classes in the South are worse, so far as their opportunities permit. Weak wills and debilitated bodies take eagerly to narcotics and stimulants. Yet the bal ance of probabilities is on the side of a belief that the habitual consumption of these drugs is confined to a small frac tion of any population. Marriage Licenses.

The members of the Mandolin Club, reading from left to right, are: Top row. Lyons. Snow. Noon, Kurren, Breed ing Kerns, Shark, Moore. Lower row, Devereaux, Kincaid, Nelson (leader). Rankin. Van Scoy. The musical critics over the state have always pronounced the musical organization of the State University at Eugene as one of the best In the entire country If the reports from the recent concert given In Eugene are to be believed. It was the best ever given by the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, and the music-loving public may fully expect a concert worth while and one not to be missed. The performance produced by the college men is somewhat different from the general run of. musical attractions in that they present the true atmosphere of college life. Everything is characteristic and typical of student days. Among the sonK and mandolin selections are lively college tunes, latest popular airs, catchy aongs, that make a decided hit, and a. few solos of merit. ' The people of Portland have always appreciated and enjoyed the University of Oregon Glee and Mandolin Clubs In their former visits here, and this season they have something even better to look forward to. for the college men are determined to make the coming performance surpass all previous entertainments. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs will give their annual concert at the Heillg Theater December 21. RESCUERS FLEE BEFORE FLAMES Fifty-three Blackened Corpses Taken From the Mo nongah Mines. DEAD LIST IS UNDER 400 Heartrending Scenes Among Women and Children Who Await Return of Loved Ones Relief Work for Victims' Families. MONONGAH. W. Va.," Dec. S. But 53 bodies had been recovered from mines Nos. 6 and 8 of the Fairmont Coal Company when darkness closed over the little town of Monongah tonight. On ac count of fire In mine No. 8 and imlnent danger of an explosion in mine No. 6, all rescue work has been suspended for the night. Fifty-six- hours had elapsed since the awful explosion, aud a majority of the bodies brought to the surface were in terrible condition, necessitating almost Immediate burial. It is now believed that the number of dead will not be over 400. A thorough Investigation was made by the company today, and it was discov ered that many miners believed to have .been entombed escaped because they had not gone to work Friday after Thurs day's holiday. A score or more of these men reported to the officials during the past 24 hours. Firo Retards Rescue Work. Shortly . after 5 o'clock this afternoon fire broke out again in mine No. 8 and the rescuers were at once ordered to the surface. -Thousands of sightseers from the sur rounding towns had gathered about the openings. Through megaphones the crowds were notified of the fire and the danger of another explosion, but they refused to leave and it was with great difficulty that the special police, assisted by many miners, forced these people to seek places of safety. Efforts were then directed toward ex tinguishing the fire and tonight the flames are under control and are said to have .done little damage. Rescue work will be resumed as soon as the Federal and state authorities finish ah Investigation they are making and pro nounce conditions safe. It was said by members of the rescu ing party that over 100 bodies have been located In both mines and that they will be brought to the surface, as soon as the fire has been extinguished. It is not be lieved the fire will reach any of these bodies. Scenes That Make Men Weep. Heartrending scenes and incidents crowd fast upon one another in this sorely afflicted mining community today. Fun eral processions were in sight in all di rections during the entire day. On the wav to the cemeteries these solemn little processions r v., B"' PassliJS vehicles coming from the mines laden vitJ vlc"m!,e", 2te, t,,t2i! '""rsuc- -1- r? erals. About twenty victims were buried to day In the three cemeteries near the town. The services were simple and brief, and except for the grief of the mourners, which at times became almost frantic, were without special feature. Several of the services were interrupted by women fainting, causing momentary ex citement, but this was soon dispelled. Await Return of Loved Ones. Many women believe their husbands or sons will be still found alive and refuse to leave the vicinity of the mine. When bodies are carried from the mine these women become almost insane, screaming and pacing back and forth and calling aloud the names of their loved ones. One woman overheard a man say that most of the bodies were badly mutilated. Witn a piercing shriek she fell to the ground and was carried to her home nearby. Tonight she is still unconscious and her condition critical. An American woman who lost her hus band refuses tp believe he Is dead. She has put clean linen ori his bed and insists that he will be brought to her. "I know he is Injured and nobody can take care of him like I can." she said. She prepares his meals regularly, neighbors say, as she has done for years, thinking he may come for them. That stage has been reached where re lief for surviving dependents of the vic tims Is necessary, and much progress was made in that direction today. Several organizations have been Incorporated and the work is being systematized. Churches are taking the initiative Hi the movement. The coal company is showing a liberal splrltv and Is using money freely to re lieve distress. Great quantities of food were distributed today. BLOCK CURRENCY REFORM Great Probability of Deadlock on Issue in the Senate. OREGONIAN . NEWS BfREAC Wash ington, Dec. 8. Currency legislation will not have clear sailing in .Congress this Winter, and opinions differ as to what the outcome is likely to be. It Is evi dent from what has been said by leading members of Senate and House that there has been no crystallization of sentiment, but, on the contrary, as Speaker Cannon has said, "there appear to be as many plans for curing the currency situation as there are members in Congress." With this dlverJlty of opinion among the men who irrtist frame, the new currency law assuming there Is to be ce there is no prospect of early legislation and no like lihood of any agreement until the Presi dent takes a hand and brings men into line In support of a bill which in his opinion will cure the shortcomings of the existing statute. Aldrlcli and Fowler Far Apart. Aside from the disagreement among men- as individuals, it is more than like ly that there wlli be a disagreement be tween the committees of Senate and House, and this agreement may lead to a deadlock which would prevent, the final passage of any currency law. The Sen ate committee, dominated by Senator Aldrich. of Rhode Island, is understood to favor an elastic currency law; the House committee, dominated by Repre sentative Fowler, of New Jersey, is op posed to it. There Is no common ground on which these committees could come ON CHESTERFIELD SUITS AND OVERCOATS Sale Starts Tuesday Morning Following are the Price Reductions: All $20.00 Garments Reduced to $15.00 All $22.50 Garments Reduced to $16.50 Ail $25.00 Garments Reduced to $19.00 All $30.00 Garments Reduced to $23.50 All $35.00 Garments Reduced to $26.50 All $40.00 Garments Reduced to $29.50 All $45.00 Garments Reduced to $34.50 All $50.00 Garments Reduced to $39.50 QUALITY STORE 269-271 Morrison St together, for both Mr. Aldrich and Mr. Fowler have been uncompromising, each insisting that his own plan was the only proper one, and so far each chairman has had the backing of his respective commit tee and house. Great Danger of Deadlock. Some public men who have given the' financial situation grave thought believe that the House will pass some financial -measure along the lines recommended by its committee and that another measure, probably along very different lines, will pass the Senate after gyat debate. The greatest, obstacle In the way of final passage of a financial measure is the probable deadlock of the two houses. Mr. Fowler will fight to the bitter end before he will compromise with the Sen ate. Mr. Aldrich will fight quite as hard for the Senate bill. If each house passes, a currency bill, the chairmen of both committees would be on the committee of .conference appointed to reach an agreement and each would have two sup porters committed to the bills of their respective houses. If the Senate Is slow In acting and an unsatisfactory confer ence agreement Is reached late In the session, It would be the easiest thing in the world for a few Senators to prevent legislation by filibustering. And that is very likely to occur unless further study of the financial situation brings about a crystallization of sentiment. Without such an agreement final legislation will be Impossible.
