The stork again hovers near the roy al house of Russia. Colonel Roosevelt enjoyed a SO-mile ride across the Wyoming plains on a cow pony. The kaiser's outburst on his "divine right to rule" is attributed to irrita tion at the Socilists. Official announcement has been re ceived at Washington of the annexa tion of Corea by Japan. It is estimated that the new north jetty at the mouth of the Columbia riv er will cost $1,205,000. Mayor Gaynor, of New York, has left the hospital and will soon take up his official duties again. The Federal census shows that the smaller cities made the largest per centage of gam in population. Ray Thomas, 23 years old, of Oswe go, Or., was struck and instantly killed by lightning during a thunder storm, The city of Bogota, Colombia, has bought the street car lines from the American owners to avoid complica tions resulting from recent riots. A wealthy woman tourist returning from Europe was caught trying to smuggle in a $6,000 pearl necklace and a spun-gold purse, purchased in Switz erland. Ivy Baldwin, expert aviator and ex signal man of the U. S. army, fell 50 feet when his aeroplane struck a tele pone pole at San Francisco. He was uninjured but the machine was consid erably damaged. A California train was derailed twice in one day by striking cow the'track. conservatives in .Nicaragua oppose elevation of General Estrada to the presidency. A big cyclone and rain storm did much damage to crops and buildings in Michigan. The government has forbidden the burning of any more money on funeral pyres by Yuma Indians. Mayor Gaynor, of New York City, is so far recovered that he is planning to take up his official duties soon. Ex-President Castro, of Venezuela, is beleived to be at the bottom of a recently-discovered plot against Presi dent Gomez. Eight are known to be dead and many badly injured in a train , wreck near Durand, Michigan. Several more are missing. A 16-year-old girl is dead from starvation at Los Angeles. She is the second one of a party of Holly Rol lers to die as a result of religious fanaticism. Customs officers held up the 12 trunks of Mrs. Nat Goodwin, wife of the famous actor, at New York City, not being willing to take her word as to what they contained. About 40 men who had labor liens against the North Bank Lumber com pany's mill at Yaolt, Wash., will probably lose their claims, since the mill is destroyed by forest fires. There was almost a riot at the inter national convention of hotel stewards at Pittsburg when both San Francisco and New Orleans sought an indorse ment for the Panama exposition in 1915. Further revision of the tariff will be made the keynote of the coming cam paign. It is estimated that tbe fire loss in the forests of the Northwest will reach $10,000,000.

Southern delegates to the National Coopers' convention declare that prohi bition has not hurt their trade. An O. R. & N. train was struck by a landslide near The Dalles and narrowly escaped being pushed into the Colum bia river. Light Showers Soak Tree Tops and Aid Fire Fighters. Local showers in Portland and vicin ity Sunday, Aug. 28, put an end to one of the longest dry spells in the history of Oregon and at the same time brought relief to the firefighters traced in the endeavor to overcome conflagrations in the districts between Sandy and Mount Hood. The showers extended as far south in the Willamette valley as Eugene, but the dry spell is still unbroken at Rose burg. South of that place and east of Medford a light shower fell in the Cra ter forest district, where the worst fires in the state prevail. There were light showers at some parts east of the Cascades, notably at Walla Walla, where a 75-day drouth was broken. The sky is overcast and more rain is expected. It has been 96 days since a real shower fell in Portland. August 15 witnessed a mist which served to clear the atmosphere. Eight one-hundredths of an inch fell during the intermittent storms of Sunday. The rain fell in about the same quan tities in the Mount Hood fire district and will enable the members of the state militia and citizens now on the firing line to prevent the further spread of the flames. It is well known that fires run through the crowns only when the atmosphere is dry, and the humidity of the past few days is ex pected to have almost as good an effect on the fires as a good soaking, lhe men on the ground can set their fire breaks and drive the flames back. Albany received her first soaking in 67 days, the longest dry spell ever re corded there. The last rain fell June 22. Reports from Albany are that the rainfall equaled that in Portland. A light shower was experienced at Eugene about noon, but is believed that heavy rains fell in the mountains east of that city. Following the rain the atmosphere cleared of the smoke which has been hanging over the city and the fires burning in the Cascades were visible at times. Eugene secured telephone communication with Flor ence for the first time since the fires broke out two weeks ago. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE RICH TIMBERLAND SOLD. ROOSEVELT RIDES ON PLAINS. An effort will be made to shift the entire responsibility for the Illinois Central car repair graft on J. T. Hara ban, president of the road. A 14-year-old girl while out rowing on Puget Sound was caught by the tide and carried away from shore, and was not rescued until 2 o'clock next morn ing. She was nearly exhausted from exposure and fright. A 14-year-old boy sleeping in a'camp near Weston, Ore., was seized by a huge cougar and was being dragged away when a man with whom he was sleeping was aroused, and timely assistance frightened the beast away. Tbe boy was uninjured. Tbe steamer F. A. Kilbum was de stroyed by fire at ber dock in San Fran cisco. Thirty-three soldiers were prostrated by heat dumig practice marches in Kansas. Takes 30-Mile Jaunt With Cowboys in Wyoming. Cheyenne, Wyoming, Aug. 29. On tough, wiry cow ponies, Theodore Roosevelt rode 30 miles across the plains of Wyoming yesterday. He wanted to get back once more among the cowboys in their own country and mingle with them as he did in the old days, 27 years ago, when the lure of the West brought him out here, young man, from the East. He visit ed, the sheep ranch of Senator Warren and returned to Cheyenne tonight, more enthusiastic than ever about the wonders of the West. Colonel Roosevelt began the day by going to the First Congregational church. Early in the afternoon, he mounted his horse. He had a relay of three mounts and he rode them like a cavalryman. When the ride was over he said he had enjoyed every mile of it and was not a bit stiff or sore. . Lieu tenant Thompkins, of Fort D. A. Rus sell: R. S. Van Tassle, who owns a ranch near Cheyenne, and Nat Baker, a ranchman, accompanied him. They cantered across the prairie, stopping now and then while the col onel talked with some cowpuncher, asking him how things are nowadays in the cattle country. As it began to grow dusk they came to the ranch of Senator Warren, where they stopped for suppr. Everybody turned out to welcome Colonel Roosevelt with a cow boy yell, and the colonel shook hands all round. The cowboys and sheep herders were dressed in their Sunday best. Three Killed in Baseball Riot. Brooks, Ga. A ball game between negro clubs for the championship of Fayette county Sunday afternoon broke up in a riot in the ninth inning. Three ball players are dead, three probably fatally injured and several less serious ly hurt. Pistols, knives and ball bats were used in the riot, scores or spec tators taking sides. The riot was caused by a close decision of Umpire Smith in the ninth, which allowed the Brooks team to score the winning run. Although all the fighting raged about the umpire, he escaped without injury, Michigan Lumber Manufacturers Pay $325,000 for Big Tract. Spokane, Wash. Involving the transfer of 61,000 acres of rich timber land in the Oak River district, 45 miles east of Medford, Or., a deal has been consummated between S. Grath and father, millionaire lumber manu facturers of Michigan, and about 400 claim holders of that district. The price is about $325,000. At torney Walter S. Brann, of San Fran cisco, acted as agent for the purchas ers, having assisted the younger Mr, Grath in closing the deals for the land, 24 claims of which are held by Spo kane people. The purchasers- of the vast holdings are said to have been actively engaged in the manufacture of lumber in Michigan for many years, and it is stated to be the intention of themselves and associates to establish extensive lumber plants within the area of the new holdings, to handle the timber therein. This land is thickly covered with sugar pine, fir and cedar. The largest part of the Oak River district, in which the timber land thus purchased is situated, abuts the right of way of James J. Hill's new Deschutes line of railway. Many owners of the land reside in and about Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 30 miles from Spokane, in Central and Eastern Washington, and the country centering in and about Medford. J. J. Johnson, a well known Spokane mining and real estate promoter, who with his wife holds two of the 160-acre claims, represented some 40 of the land owners in making the sale. All the way from $9 to $25 an acre was realized from this land, much of which will be left practically valueless after the timber is removed. BAD PRECEDENT FEARED. Desert Land Board Would Overthrow Department's Ruling. Salem Fearing that a bad prece dent might be established if a ruling of the Interior department on the ques tion of 820 acres of land under the Deschutes Reclamation & Irrigation company, should be allowed to stand, a special effort will be made by the Des ert Land board to overthrow the stand taken by the inspector in passing judg ment. There are 1,200 acres in this project near Bend, but on 320 acres of it, it is said that the main canal crosses the land and a lateral runs through it, but the land is still held to be not re claimed. It has been customary to al low the construction of the canal with in a mile, or in the vicinity of the land, without the construction of the small laterals. It is held in the opin ion of the board that it would be a needless waste of money to place the smaller individual laterals, as they would be tramped down before an act ual settlement and it would be neces sary to practically entirely reconstruct the work. If the ruling of the Interior department is adhered to on appeal it will affect all of the projects in the state and it is claimed will result in a great loss to the various companies promoting the work. ' MISSING MEN ARE SAFE. Total Dead in Fire 185, With 96 Un accounted for. FIGURES GIVEfi OUT NO TUBERCULOSIS IN HERDS. Tests Show 90 Cows on Sauvie's Is land Free of Disease. Portland Two large dairy herds, absolutely free from tuberculosis, were found last week on Sauvies' island One herd belongs to W. H. H. Morgan and the other to Goodwin & Reeder, Dr. Herbert Silverwood, one of the veterinarians testing all herds supply ing milk to Portland, tested the cattle, and pronounced them in good condi tion. The two herds contained 90 cattle, It is a rare occasion to finds such large herds without some diseased cattle. There have been herds entirely wiped out by the test, as all animals found suffering from the dreaded disease have been ordered slaughtered. Many dairymen have not been observing this restriction, but the state authorities plan a surprise upon those failing to carry out the law. 125 Autos at Hood River. Hood River Hood River has now over a quarter of a million dollars in vested in automobiles. At the begin ning of the year there were only about 25 machines in the valley, and now there are about 125. The auto owners are enthusiastic for good roads and will only support a candidate for the next session of the state legislature who will favor a bill providing for county bond issue to secure funds for the immediate building of good roads, Big Profit on Peas. Condon H. Grebe has harvested his peas and had 15 bushels to the acre, It would have been 20 or more but for a shower of - rain about three weeks ago, which flattened the peas down and the machine could not get them all, Mr. drebe has sold the crop, except about 200 bushels, to local farmers for $2.50 a bushel and has the fodder left, which makes a fine feed for stock.

Greeley, at Missoula, received a dispatch at 11 o'clock last night announcing the safety of the missing party of 15 under Ranger Joseph B. Halm. The message aaiea iron Mountain, Mont., and came from Ranger Haines, who left Tuesday for the headwaters of the St. Joe river in search of the Halm party. In addition to the good news concern ing the Halm party, District Forester Greeley received forther reports reduc ing the list of dead and missig ployes of the forestry service. Census Shows Cities of Less Than 50,000 Crow Fastest. Average Record Not Up to IsOO Many Places In West Report Phenomenal Advance. MOVING PICTUR& TALKS. and Preparing for Fair. Knappa Preparations are rapidly for the first Grange and county fair. The premium list will be out shortly, the prizes being provided by the business men of Port land and Astoria, who have taken a deep interest in the show. Plans are being made for a good exhibit of stock, especially dairy cattle. going on institute live PORTLAND MARKETS. Union Not Offering Wheat. Helix Harvest is nearly completed in this section, wheat'yielding from 25 to 30 bushels, but of the very best quality. Hardly a crop tested less than 60 pounds, and the most of the tests showed 63 to 65 pounds to the bushel. Edgar W. Smith, of Juniper, has abandoned his caterpillar engine and is preparing to finish harvesting with horsepower machines. While considerable wheat is being sold by farmers most of the early sel lers areho!ding back, claiming that the price has not yet reached their lim it and it is not expected that much wheat will change hands until the mar ket reaches 90c. Members of the Farmers' union are receiving the mar ket quotations daily and in most cases steadily refuse to sell. ' Rockefeller is Silent. Cleveland, Ohio For the second day in succession. John u. KocKeieuer failed to take his Bible class at the Euclid avenue Baptist church. Until two weeks ago it was the custom of the oil king to address his class every Sunday spent in Cleveland. His fail ure to speak at Sunday school is only part of the reticence he has maintained during the last two weeks. During that time he has absolutely refused to be interviewed. Six Are Victims of Duel. Lawton, Okla. According to a re port received here, five men and one woman have either been killed or seri ously injured in a duel that took place about sixteen miles from waters. A. Bushley and two Rawles brothers are said to have been the participants. Two Mexican Roads Sold. New York Official announcement is expected within a few days of the sale to the National Railways of Mexico of the Pan-American railroad and of the Vera Crux & Isthmus railroad. One Horsethief Killed; One Captured Lakeview Sheriff Albert Dent, of Lake county, has returned from Kla math Falls, having in charge a young man named B. E. Kuhl, of Silver Lake, who surrendered to the posse headed by Klamath's sheriff, after a hard chase. and after his companion, named De- Moss, of the same place, had been killed in a battle with the indignant ranchmen who overtook them with a large bunch of stolen horses and mules in the timber of Klamath county. Midland Shipper Complains. Salem Complaint has been filed with the State Railroad commission by L. McDerby, of Midland, that there is no station at that point and the facil ities for handling freight have proven inadequate. The Southern Pacific states that Midland averages but two passengers per day and that the entire freight business at that point for the past two months has amounted to no more than $1,250. May Vote $100,000 for Roads. South Bend The question of issuing negotiable coupon bonds to the amount of $100,000 will, according to an order made by the county commissioners, be submitted to the voters of Pacific county at the general election in No vember. The bonds are for road and bridge purposes and will run for 15 years and bear not to exceed 6 per cent nterest.

Edison demonstrated that he has achieved success in making moving picture talk. a nmiiea numDer oi scientific men and newspaper reporters were at the initial exhibition and while only a very short him with voice reproduction at tachment was shown, all present real ized that Edison has accomplished an other great achievement After a realistic demonstration Edi son announced that it would not be long before Teddy was over here mak ing his great speeches into the new machine. Another advantage will be to have great operas reproduced by kinetoscope. Edison planned the most appropriate film for the exhibition. The scene on the screen was a repro duction of a stage in a theater. On this appeared a typical lecturer who explained that the kinetophone had been perfected only after it was found possible to operate a phonograph and a kinetoscope simultaneously. lo illustrate the possibilities of the new invention the eloquent lecturer on the canvas dropped a wooden ball on the hard floor of the stage and this pro duced a loud noise. From the canvas there also came a sound of an auto horn in the hands of the lecturer and there was also a loud crash when he dropped a cash. Washington Careful, though unoffi cial, analysis of the returns from the thirteenth census on cities thus far announced reveals that the increased rate of urban growth for the last de cade over that of 1890 to 1900 has been confined largely to places having a population of less than 50,000. While universally there has been a healthy increase, in a large majority of cities exceeding 50,000, the rate of the previous decade has not been main tained. In no instance so far has art actual loss of population been shown and present comparisons are only on the rate of growth. The population of 63 cities of more than 25,000 has been officially announ ced. These are somewhat more than one-fourth of the estimated total num ber of such cities in the country. Four announcements cover crities of more than 400,000 people. They are St. Louis, with 687,029, or an increase of 19.4 per cent as compared with an increase of 27.3 per cent as shown by the census of 1900; Pittsburg, with, 533,905, or an increase of 18.2 per cent, as against an increase in 1900 of 31.3 per cent; Buffalo, with 423,715, an increase of 20.2 per cent, pared with 37.8 in 1900, and with 465,766, an increase of cent, as compared with 38.3 ten years ago. A decidedly better average is shown for the nine cities whose population ranges between 200,001) and 400,000. corn- Detroit, 63.0 per per cent KAISER RAISES STORM. per per Asserts Divine Right to Kule Peo pie Are Ignored. Berlin The speech delivered by Em peror William, of Germany, before the provincial banquet at Koenigsburg, in which he emphasized his belief in a divine mandate by which he rules, re- fered to the Prussian crown as "be siowea Dy uoa s grace ana not by par- laments or people s assemblies," and aid a lance against the movement for woman's suffrage, is the political sen sation of the hour. The leading organs of the German press devote extended comment to it, generally criticising the utterances, and there are indications that the dis course will have a deep political effect upon the .country. Nearly all the Berlin papers are disscussing the sub ject in sympathy with the political crisis of November, 1908, when the publication by the London Daily Tele graph of an interview with the emper or aroused a storm against the uncon trolled public speaking of the emperor. between These are : Denver, 213,381; St. Paul, 214,744: Providence, 224,326; Kansas City, 248,381; Jersey City, 267,779; Wash ington, 331,068; Newark, 347,469; Cincinnati, 364,646; and Milwaukee, 373,857. For this group the average growth amounted to 33.8, as compared with an increase of 26 per cent in the 1890-1900 epoch. But this high aver age is due in large measure to the ex ceptional showing made by Denver and Kansas City, two of the smallest cities of the class. Denver scored a growth of almost 60 per cent, as com pared with a little more than 25 per cent for the previous 10 years, and Kansas City, almost 52 per cent, as. against less than 24 per cent in the previous decade. The mean for the 10 cities of be tween 100,000 and 200,000 is favora ble to the 1890-1900 period, to the ex tent of almost 4 per cent, the average for 1900 being 35.7 per cent, and that for 1900-1910, 32 per cent But not withstanding this general falling off, the rate of growth was more evenly maintained in this than in any other class. There were not so many ex tremes. The advantage also was with- 1900 in the 21 places of from 50,000' to 100,000, the average gain being 41.6 per cent, as against 39.1 in 1900. It should be explained, however. that Oklahoma City and Schenectady have been excluded from this calcula tion on account of the abnormal in crease in both. From the 25,000 to 50,000 grade. Muskogee, Okla., and Flint, Mich., are eliminated for the same reason that Oklahoma City and Schenectady are taken out of the 50,000 to 100.000 class. Because of their high figures they would run the average up to an unwonted extent. But even without them, the showing- is altogether in favor of the last cen sus. With JP lint and Muskogee out. the mean growth is almost 48 per cent. while the increase for the same places in 1890-1900 was 25 per cent Strike Brought to End. New York, Aug. 27.

Copenhagen Delegates from all the seamen's unions of America and Eu rope at the international congress of sailors and marine firemen in session here, with the exception of the French association, voted to declare an inter national strike unless the shipowners of every country concerned agreed to the formation of the board of concilia tion to deal with the grievances of the men.

Miners Want Conference. Pittsburg, Kan. By a vote of 13 to 5 the conference committee of the un ion miners in the Southwestern field decided in favor of opening negotia tions with the operators to draft a con tract upon the terms submitted by the latter. The miners will hold a meet ing in Kansas City and open negotia tions with the operators. According to the members of the conference, the miners are ready to accept the proposi tion made them by the operators. Deposed Friar Disturber. Rome A former Franciscan friar, named Beltramini, created a panic in the Basilica of the Vatican at vespers by firing three shots from a revolver in the air. Worshippers fled from the church and service was suspended. Beltramini, who was arrested, said that he desired to attract attention with a view to securing reinstatement to the priesthood.
