-TOLEDO ' - ' - - OREGON
partment Is making arrangements for
the meeting. ' - .
It will take place . during ' President
Taft's western trip some time after
Sept. 15, for it will be necessary for
the Mexican president to obtain the'
permission of the Mexican congress,
which meets on that date, to leave his
country.
With President Taft neither prece
dent nor law is involved. Up to 1906
no president of the United States had
occasion' to visit foreign countries, but
President Roosevelt found it necessary
to. inspect the Panama canal and dur
ing that trip not' only steamed out
beyond the three mile . limit of conti
nental jurisdiction and set foot on the
soil of the canal zone, which is really
out blinking an eye into the republic
of Panama, which is distinctly foreign.
The first idea in connection with the
meeting of the two presidents at El
Paso was that they should greet each
other at the middle of the bridge at
El Paso, but Mr. Taft's common sense.
as well as a desire to make the affair
an unusual demonstration of friend
ship, would not accept this.
It is now planned that President
Diaz shall first call upon President
Taft in El Paso and that Mr. Taft 1
shall then cross into Mexico to return i
the courtesy. It will be the first time
a United States and Mexican president
have met The Mexican town opposite
El Paso is Cludad Juarez. '".'-.
The plans for this great flood of American territory, but crossed with-
light have been arranged by the illu
mination committee, of which Wil
liam Berri is chairman. On the last
night of the celebration the 170 miles
from New York to Troy will be illu
minated with huge signal fires, "blaz
ing from every mountain top.
This public arrangement does not
take into account the large private
contracts made by enterprising firms
for additional illumination. The ag
gregation of public lighting and pri
vate advertising will make New York
for the eight days the most brilliant
ly lighted city in the world's history. .
Grand Electrical Display.
Incandescent bulbs will have firs1!
place In the scheme. Of these 1,500,000
will be used by the committee. Seven
thousand arc lights and 3,000 flare arcs
will supplement their little golden
brothers. The rest of the light family
will include a battery of four search
lights of 100,000 candle power apiece
and twelve searchlights aggregating
1,700,000 candle power. All of this
electrical grandeur will flash into use
at the same moment.
In addition, the New Jersey shore
and other places, near the city limits
will take part in the illumination. 'A
battery of searchlights will be placed
at Riverside drive and One Hundred
and Tenth street, making the Hudson
river for miles as bright as flayi A
single beam from this battery may be
seen for fifty miles. Another -battery
will be at Grant's tomb.-' ' - T ' "''

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Says Criminals
Need "Mothering."
That Minneapolis needs a hundred'
women policemen is the opinion of Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw, president of the
National Woman's Suffrage associa
tion, who recently addressed the stu
dents of the University of Minnesota.
She said that should the demands of
suffragists be granted it' would not be
too -much to expect that women should
do their share in the police and fire
departments.
. "One hundred women specialists put
on the police force of any city would
make for Improved civic conditions,"
she said. "The criminal needs 'moth
ering.' If women were on the police
force their watchfulness, care and at
tention to persons, who need - their
wholesome influence,, backed up by au
thority, would prove a most useful and
uplifting measure." r
CUBE SHAPED CANTALOUPES.
a . .. - --i
Washington 'Grower Uses : Wooden
Trouahm to Raise Novel Fruit.
Oi B.' Parrish of North Yakima,
Wash., marketed cantaloupes at Seat
tle, Wash., a few days ago that are
perfect cubes. They sold for extreme
ly fancy prices.'
Parrish has been doing novel things
with fruit and vegetables for several
years, but says that his idea of grow
ing cantaloupes in the shape of cubes
is the most practical of anything he
has undertaken. Many people do not
like the shape of the cantaloupes be
cause the round form makes it impos
sible to be served artistically.
Parrish has troughs made from
heavy lumber, and these are parti
tioned to make an interior size of four
inches each way. As soon as new
cantaloupes are seen to form on the
vines each fruit is placed in one of
the partitions in a trough.
The fruit continues to grow and
gradually assume the shape of the
cubical house in which it lives. To
prevent the top from becoming round
ing Parrish places a heavy cever on
the box trough In time to- avoid the
trouble. -
Huge' Asphaltum Discovery.
Immense quantities of asphaltum

When Father Comes Home In Future.
"What Is all that scratching, mother,
Up around the scuttle trap?
Some one's fooling with the padlock.
, Sounds just like some burglar chap.
Some one's walking on the shingles.
And now, listen some one fell.
O-oh, I'm awful frightened, mother!
Don't you think you'd better yell?"
"Hush, my child! It isn't burglars
Walking on the roof you hear.
I have often heard the same sounds.
That is but your father, dear,
In his aeroplane returning
From a session -at the club,
- And he thinks that I won't hear him.
Child, your pop's an awful dub.!'
"'Thanks, I feel much better, mother,
Now I know. " But tell me, pray,
When you. watch him and you face him
What will my poor papa say?
,What excuses will he give you? '
How will he dismiss your frown?
For, if I remember rightly, '
-- Business kept him late downtown.
- "Well, my child, I am expecting -:'
- That he'll blame It on the plane
Wings were faulty or the motor
Stopped up In the air again.
: But it's just the same old story, -And
there'll be an awful row.
Listen till you hear me whale him, -Here's
your papa coming now."
