C The United States government haa informed Pro visional President Huerta that it looks with abhorrence and amazement on his assumption of both executive and leg islative powers in Mexico and that in view of his course could not regard as constitutional the elections phnned for October 26. Two notes were sent, the one strongly phrased and written by Sec retary Bryan, inquiring about the safety of the imprisoned members of the Mexican congress, and the other drawn in forceful language by Presi dent Wilson himself and said to con stitute practically the last efforts of the Washington government to deal with the Huerta authorities by diplo matic means unless there is a decided change of spirit on the part of the offi cials in Mexico City. The negotiations through John Lind had proceeded to the point where the State department accepted the in dorsement of Frederico Gamboa for the presidency as meaning the elimin ation of Huerta, and where it was confidently hoped that a fair and free election would be held on October 26. Now, however, President Wilson has made it clear that the Washington government has with the events of the last few days the imprisonment of the deputies and the establishment of a dictatorship by Huerta lost all hope of seeing a constitutional election held by the Huerta regime. The steps taken by the United States were communicated to all for eign governments. No further nego tiations are planned through diplo matic channels, and it would not be surprising if John Lind, who has been waiting at Vera Cruz to observe the manner in which the Huerta officials carried out their promises, should re turn to the United States at once. PRINCE OF MONACO IN WEST Enjoys Successful Hunting Trip in Wyoming; Wilds. Billings, Mont. Albert, Prince of Monaco, accompanied by a large party of personal friends, was a guest of the chamber of commerce on his return from a three weeks' hunt in the wilds of Wyoming, between Cody and Sheri dan, where the prince was lucky enough to bag a big brown bear, sev eral deer and two mountain sheep. While the prince was away from civilization, he dropped into cowboy and Western slang to such a degree that when he reached Billings his con versation was natural in a Western way. "The big brown bear that I shot has been skinned and the hide will adorn one of my rooms at Monte Carlo," said the prince. "It only took one snot, and the rifle that I used belonged to William F. Cody, being borrowed for that purpose. We had a time while in Wyoming, and ate big and small game. I enjoyed every minute of the time spent here. The Prince of Monaco and his party left for New York and will sail from that city the last of the week for h;s home, where he will spend consider able time in compiling his investiga tions, which he conducted quietly while on his trip. He expects to re turn to this section next year for longer stay in the mountains of Wy oming and Montana. BANDIT ROBS MAIL CAR IN SAN FRANCISCO SUBURBS San Francisco A masked bandit en tered the mail car of. Southern Pacific train No. 23 at Burlingame Thursday, and at the muzzle of a gun compelled two mail clerks to crawl under a table. The registered .mail then was rifled. The train made no stop between Burl ingame and San Francisco, and the robber made his escape, according to postal officials, when the train slowed down in the San Francisco yards. An examination of the rifled pouch es by postal inspectors showed that the loss will not be great. The rob ber's time to make a thorough search of all the registered mail was limited because of the fast schedule main tained by the train between Burlin game and San Francisco. Big Bear Mangles Man. Seward, Alaska. Otto Bergstrom, a homesteader, was attacked by a huge Alaska brown bear near here Wednes day. Bergstrom met the beast on the trail going home. The bear rushed at him, knocked him down, tore his scalp almost entirely from his head, bit his right ear off and inflicted about 60 other wounds on Bergstrom 's body, arms and hands. The lower limbs were untouched. Bergstrom crawled on his hands and knees 600 feet to a neighbor's cabin. There is a chance that he will recover. Aviator Still Missing. New York Efforts to find some trace of Albert J. Jewell, the aviator who disappeared while making a flight in a monoplane to the Staten Island Aerodome have so far been fruitless. Those who have endeavored to trace his course believe that he lost his way, flew over the Atlantic Ocean and perished by drowning. An attempt will be made to find some trace of him by sending an aeroplane over his in tended course. Daniels to Go to School. Newport, R. I. The possibility that Secretary of the Navy Daniels will take a course of instruction at the Naval War college here next summer has aroused much Interest among the officers stationed at Newport. i i imi i ii ii r i-mram-gwTn - ii mrCTfr ti n 9 v mj fi i M ' i rr wr OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST General News of the Industrial and Educational Development and Progress of Rural Communities, Public Institutions, Etc LUMBER OUTLOOK PLEASING Big Operator Predicts Revival of Business in Oregon. Eugene That the end of depressed conditions in the lumber market in Oregon is in sight and that greatly in creased activity will won mark the timber industry in the Upper Willam ette valley, is the belief of Frank 11. Buck., Sr., president of the Booth Kelly Lumber company. "Oregon is ready for another period of development," said Mr Buck. "I believe that the lumber Industry is recovering from the reaction of the past few years. That is why the Booth-Kelly company is rebuilding its mill at Springfield. "Overproduction was partly the cause of the present low prices in the lumber market, but a certain curtail ment haa been reached by the cutting off of the cheap pnxlucer. "The opening of the Panama canal will have a direct influence upon the lumber market. The San Francisco exposition, too, will draw homeseekers from all over the nation. "Railroads will aid the lumber in dustry in Oregon. The attention that President Sproule, of the Southern Pa cific company, is paying to the lumber industry is very significant." POLK APPLE CROP IS GOOD Orchards Well Cared For and Ab sence of Pests Is Noted. Monmouth Polk county's apple crop is good this season. The harvest is to begin at once, provided the weather is favorable for picking. Al though there is not so large an acre age of apples as of prunes, the apples are sound this fall, and the absence of pests is especially noted. Last year M. M. Harvey, living li miles north of this city, picked proba blv the largest crop for any one own er. His orchard of seveial standard varieties yielded about 1500 boxes, which netted a good price. Mr. Har vey haa another heavy crop this fall. The varieties that have proven them selves adapted to this section of the valley are Spitzenberg, King, Graven stein, Northern Spy, and Red Astra chan. A recent crusade in this Jdistirct caused a remarkable abatement of codling moth. AH trees were sprayed and pruned, and the trees in 'some old orchards were ordered to De burned, Lime and sulphur sprays each year have caused the product to become much impoved. Vetch Seed Being Held. Monmouth Growers of vetch and clover in this district are, to a great extent, holding their seed in hopes of higher prices. A few sales have been made, but these were forced on ac count of no floor space or any place to hold the seed. By holding the vetch for several months it is believed that from two and one-half to three cents pound can be obtained. The crop this season in this part of Polk county was heavy and there was no rain to damage the crop before it was threshed. Comprising between 1000 and 2000 acres of clover in Polk county, the crop was valued at approximately $80,000, it is estimated. The largest in this region was that of William Riddell & Sons, who had about 250 acres. T. R. Cook's crop, near Iewi ville, wsa one of the heaviest yield ing. From 18 acres he obtained 180 bushels of clover seed. Much of this is being held for higher prices. Klamath Crop Is Bumper. Klamath Falls More than 50 bush els of wheat to the acre is the record made by Burrell W. Short, who lives five miles southeast of this city. The variety was Turkey red, and Mr. Short will try a larger area next year. He put in all the seed he had on 71 acres and produced 370 bushels. Mr. Short is a progressive farmer and took the farmers' short course in the Oregon Agricultural college when more than 40 years of age. In 1911 he raised 197 tons of alfalfa and timothy on 40 acres of land, for the first cutting. Big Timber Deal in Sight. Newport A big timber deal is re ported in sight, involving the sale of about 2,000,000,000 feet of Siletz timber. The price Is said to be $1 a thousand. Eastern capitalists are the prospective purchasers and their rep resentative is now en route to the Coast from New York. If the deal is successfully manipulated operations will shortly follow for cutting and marketing the timber. An Eastern market will be reached via the Pana ma canal route. State Is Paying Interest. Salem Because of the small tax levy last year and large appropriations made by the recent legislature, the state has begun paying 6 per cent in terest on unpaid warrants. State Treasurer Kay estimates that the state will pay interest on at least $1, 000,000 before the next tax money will be available for use. This money will be available next April. Oregon Apples to Denmark. Milton L. L. Johnson will again ship apples to Denmark this year. Last fall he consigned a carload to Co penhagen and realized good returns, lie will forward a mixed car of the best telling varieties. FARMERS WEEK AT COLLEGE Rural Organization to Be Theme of Special lectures. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-vallis-Rural organisation will be the key note of Farmers' Week at the Oregon Agricultural college, December 8 to 13. Farmers who are learning that there is something more than bountiful crops essential to profitable farming will be given an opportunity to learn of successful co-operative pro duction and marketing as carried on In most parts of Europe and In a few places in America. European farmers refused to organize until driven by grim necessity, but are now practicing co-operative methods so successfully that with Inferior advantages they are on a higher plane of prosperity than that enjoyed by American farmers. Details of the organised operations will be explained as fully as possible by Dr. Hector Macpherson, who was an official delegate in the American commission that toured Europe last summer to investigate rural organiza tions and credits. The most success ful American methods will also be ex plained and illustrated. Since Dr. Macpherson first reported informally on tho benefits of co-operation, many requests have been made for explanations and instructions for effecting organizations in Oregon. It has not been possible to give such In formation by letter, as there are so many intricate details to be worked out in view of local conditions. Hut if concrete problems of organization are presented at the meetings all that can be done will be done to furnish a workable plan for each case. Other importimt subjects treated will be good roads, increasing soil fer tility, best crops and cultural methods of same, and the spiritunlization of the country home through pleasant and healthful surroundings and by beautifying the home. The six days of the course will be filled with matters of absorbing in terest to farmers who hope to make more profitable and enjoyable the country home in Oregon. Opportuni ties will be given to observe success ful crop, dairy, fruit and poultry methods, to study first hand the best modern system of butter and cheese production, and to confer with experts and with each other on vital questions of farming. Excursion rates are offered by all railroads in Oregon. Send for Bulle tin No. 8 for preliminary circular, to R. D. Hetzel, Director of Extension, Corvallis, Oregon. OREGON'S FARM PRODUCTS VALUED AT 110 MILLIONS Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis The sum of $200 for every man, woman and child in Oregon would be their share of the value of the state's agricultural products for the present year, if distributed equally among them. The valuation of farm products is almost $140,000,000, ac cording to the estimates of Dr. James Withycombe, director of the experi ment station, and the population is slightly under 100,000. If the num ber of farmers in the state is 50,000, perhaps an overestimate, the average sh ire of the farmer is about $2H00. The exact valuation placed . ujwn farm rmps by Dr. Withycombe is $74,099,165, and the valuo of other agricultural products is estimate 1 at $05,405,500. The grand total is $139,505,326. This is almost $14, 000,000 greater than the valuation last year, and indicates great pros perity. The itemized estimates are as fol lows: AGRKXLTUKAL CHOI'S. 1913. Vain. Wheat. K.

Klamath Falls Grain raisers of Klamath county are much elated over the announcement by Agpnt S. J. Bailey that the Southern Pacific has reduced its rates on grain from this city to California points. Heretofore the grain rate to San Francisco has been $5.40 per ton and to Los Angeles $8.80. The new order lowers these to $5 and 47.50. The grain rate to Sac ramento, $4.50 a ton, was left un changed. This is 50 cents a ton cheaper than from other Southern Oregon points. Sixis River Mine Being Worked. Bandon Work on a large scale is being made on a mining claim at the Sixis River, near Bandon. A steam shovel has been shipped from Portland and a number of buildings are being erected. A canal system is being con structed that will give 3000 miners' Inches, which la equal to 75 cubic feet a second. The mining engineer re ports that the claim contains over 14, 000,000 cubic yards of blue gravel, some of which has, it is said, panned $200 to the cubic yard.
