New York, May 6. The strike of
Italian rock drillers sud diggers took a
more serious turn in the Bronx today,
50 policemen being sent to keep order
along the excavation lor water mains
where men are working in the strikers'
places. The police were picxeted along
the excavation and all Italians near it
and not working were ordered to move.
Bands of Italian, however, marched by
and shouted harshly at the men in
their place.
Agent Landau, of the Italian labor
union, said there were lo.uuu men on

the Bronx wonld be stopped.

TURTLE MOUNTAIN SLIDING.
River Completely Dammed by Rocks and
Flood Is Feared.
Blairn ere, N. W. T., May 6.-Small
slide have been coming down from
Turtle mountain at interval during the
pant SB hours. This morning at day
oreak the largest rock slide since the
first disastrous one occurred and caused
much uneaniness smong the handful of
otBcials left in Frank. Those who had
portable property began to remove it
this morning, but when the big slide
came they fled precipitately. Govern
ment engineers went to the mountain
this afternoon to mark out blasting
spots and clear oft the loose rock.
Renewed tears of a flood nave been
caused by the unexpected rise of the
river. Rain is predicted, and with the
river still practically dammed by rocks,
a flood now would be disastrous.
No Coup by Ruasla.
Washington, May 6. The Chinee
minister called upon Secretary Hay to
day and discussed the Msnchurian sit
uation. There is good reason to De
lie ve that the negotiations have taken

nite postponed. It is understood

part of the Russian government from
any position officially taken.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
WANT MIOH PRICES.
riarton County Fruit and Wool Men Or
ganize Union lor Mutual Benefit.
Union among producer to compel
competition smong buyers was the
watchword at the meetings of fruit
grower and woolgrower in Salem last
Saturday. The producer propose to
stand together for their mutual benefit
and to compel buyers to bid against
each other for the produce tbey have to
sell. To secure 'be highest price the
market will warrant is the purpoee,
and those who are identified with the
unions feel confident of a successful
outcome of the co-operative movement.
About 50 owner of iheep met and
organized the Marion county woolgrow
er' association. A sales committee
was appointed. Committee were also
appointed to draft resolutions ssa basis
for the organization and to prepare a
constitution. A large committee, com
posed of resident of different part of
the county, will be appointed to solicit
membership.
The Falem fruitgrowers' union, which
was organized last year, beld a meet
ing to discuss the methods of disposing
of this year's crop of berrie and cher
ries. It was the general opinion that
competition must govern the price, but
after the early fruit bas been disposed
of the Salem cannery will 'be given the
preference at the same price that shall
be offered by shippers.
The growers were unit in voicing
their loyalty to the cannery and assert
ed tbeir intention to give the cannery
tbeir patronge, provided that the pro
prietor wonld meet the price of ship
pers. Home of the early fruit wiH be
shipped fresh, while the prices are
bigb. out after that the fruit will be
offered to the cannery in preference to
hipping fresh, the price tning the
same or better. An earnest desire for
the success of the cannery was ex
pressed by many, for the reason tbat
tbis enterprire furnishes a market for
the fruit and prevent a glut in the
local market. A determination to pro
duce a better quality of fruit was also
expressed.

FOR A OREAT STATE FAIR.
Larger Appropriation for Agricultural
Premium Interest Increasing.
Tbe state fair tbis fall will mean
mure to Oregon a an advertiiing medi
um than it ever bas before. The large
immigration now coming to tbis state
give the people of the different sections
of Oregon an opportunity to represent
tbeir redoirces and advantage to a
large number of new-comers aLeompar
atively little cost. A majority of those
who come to tbe coast seeking new
borne do not invest tintil after tbey
have apent several weeks or even
month looking arcund. Tbeir desire
is to find the locality that will suit
their individual preferences and occu
pation best. Through the annual state
fair it will be possible to present, in as
attractive form, information regarding
the industries of every county in the
state, and by visiting tbe fair, strang
ers will learn more about the different
localities than they could in any other
way at tbe same expense.
The last legislature increased the
state fair appropriation from 8,000 a
year to 110,000, and it is provided that
all tbis sum must be offered and award
ed as premiums for agricultural and
other industrial products. Tbe increase
in tbe appropriation for premiums ia
sufficient to make it certain that if tbe
season be favorable to crops, thi year's
fair will be ahead of anything yet bad.
