PROFIT IN ALFALFA.
ixperiment Showa Great Value of
Plant for Hog Feed.
Corvallia A profit of 127.51 an acre
tot pantuiage on alfalfa for three
months haa been proved to be a poeei
blllty by an experiment on the college
farm. There will remain yet during
tha aeaaon three or four months mora of
pantniage on the same alfalfa field, and
Dr. Wltbycombe, who Is directing the
ejK'rinieni, is oonnaent mat more
than 160 an acre will be real'tud from
ptuturage of tba fluid during tlie aum
mer. The showing to considered to be
ol great value in that it to believed an
I mint equally favorable demonatiation

Tha reaulta are ol striking value In it
nmtrating the noan bllitlea ol Western
Oregon in the field, as the profit to be
ga neii tiy the land la more per acre
than lamia on wb'ch it can be done

In the experiment lines were used.
Thirty-two ol t:.e animate were put on
a two-acre field of alfalfa April 1. All
but five of tbe plgi were p eked up in
the open market, and were ol ordinary
grade as to bleeding. Up to July 1
they had made a net gain of 1,030
pounds, lleeldea alia I fa they had con-
sum d dur ng the three months' period

pounds of -chopped wheat. For the

the chopped wheat, also grown on the
farm, 1 t cents per pound was allowed,

FRUITGROWERS ENCOURAGED
Fine Cherry Crop and Good Prices
, Bring Prosperity.
Albsny Five tons of Boy a 1 Ann cher
ries were grown this seewn on a two
acre orchard owned by Cyrus II. Walk
er, near this city. Wslker has con
tractor! to sell the entire crop at 6 centa
per pound, realising an income of $600
on tlie two acres. This to but one in
stance of the remarkably larire cherry
yield In this vicinity and the exporta
tion oi oneirics now. in pr gress from
Albsny will mean quite an item finan
dally for this city.
In past years the two sores of Royal
Ann trees in the Wslker orchard have
yielded about two ton annually. This
baa made the tree veiy profitable, but
a yield ol five tons, with tha preient
price, makes cherry growing a moat
noticeable profit yielding industry.
A great many cherries are being ship
ped liom Albany now. Tha Royal Ann
variety are being sent to the canneries
at Halem and Puyallup, Wash., Iiepub
lican, Kentish and Bing cherries ara
being sent direct to the Portland, Seat
tle and Astoria markets. A good many
cherries sre being shipped from tbis
city to the various points along the Cor-
vallis A haute railroad. Black lie
publican cherries are now ripe and- be
ing marketed with the other varieties.
Koal Ann cherries are bringtng 6 cents
per pound everywhere, and the other
varieties 4 centa.
All cherriea yielded bountifully thia
yeai In tins part of tlie shite. There
sre only five or six commercial cherry
orchards In this vicinity, but every
farmhouse haa ita orchard and almost
every yard In Albany lta Kentish or
Black Republican tree. Tbe demand
lor cherries has also been stronger this
year than ever before and alt cherriea
fit for marketing will be sold. The
yield and demand thia aeaaon have
demonstrated the feasibility clthe com
mercial growing ol cherriea in thia vi
cinity and thia year'a experience will
probably lead to greater thing here In
thia Industry.

Preldnt of Miner' Federation Da-
vr nlaa All Evil Deeds.'
Boise, Idaho, July 12. Rapid pro-
grew waa mad yesterday in tba Hay
wood case. Tlia cross-examination cf
Charles H. Moyer was completed at one
aeesion of tba court and in tba after
noon the direct eramination of W. D,
Haywood, tba defendant, was carried
well alongtbrough bis story.
. Both men bave made good witnesses.
They were expected to deny everything
said by Orchard that connected them
with crimes and they are doing so con
sistently, but In the admission both
make the case of the state is receiving
pronounced support. When Orchard
confessed it waa stated in a great many
interview by these and other men con
nected with the management of the
Federation that be knew nothing about
the affaire of tbe organization; that
they bad no knowledge of him, having
met him, but having no real acquaint
ance with him. Now they are obliged
to practically admit intimate acquaint
ance running over a long period. Again
and again tbey admit the correctness of
Orchard's statements respecting collat
eral matters and again and again they
reflect their Intimate acquaintance with
him nnder bis various aliases. -
It waa noticeable that Haywood waa
far more at ease on the stand than he
was while Moyer waa :n the chair.
During the entire examination cf Moy
er, Haywood waa nervous, but when
tba latter took the stand he waa more
composed and shewed less nervousness
than bad been displayed by bin prede
cessor. Tbe testimony given by Moyer
was characterised throughout by pur
pose to protect himself. Again and
again in answering questlona as to
criminal plana or acta charged tc him
and others, he qualified hia answers
with a phrase like this:
"Speaking for myself, I can aay there
waa no such knowledge."
OELMAS AROUSES HENEY.
Little Progress Made in Glaaa Briberv
Cas-.
San Francisco, July 12. Dr. Charles
Boxton, the temporary mayor of San
Franciaco, on tho witness atand in tbe
Glasa trial yesterday afternoon told tbe
story of hia debauebment by Theodore
V. Halsey, the Indicted agent of the
Pacific Statas Telephone company, wbo,
he testified, paid him $5,000, "mostly
in $100 bills," foi having voted and
used bis influence as aupervisox against
the granting of a rival franchise to the
Home Telephone company.
Boxton ia a fine-looking gray baited
man of middle age. He baa credit
able Spanish War record and ; to en
titled to write "Major" before his
name. He waa tha last and only Im
portant witness in an otherwise slow
and tedious day. He waa not a reluc
tant nor yet a noticeably willing testi
fier, but bis examination by Mr. Heney
waa so spiked about with clever objec
tions from Mr. Delmas olte sus
tained that at length the gorge of the
assistant district attorney rose and he
hotly accused hia veteran adversary of
trying to cloud the lsaue and Impede
justice.

BIS ROADS ARE COMPETITORS
Attorney General la Advlaed That
Competition la Killed Between
Mississippi and Pacific.
New York, July 13. Wall street wss
agitated late yesterday by a rumor that
the Interstate Commerce commission,
which has been investigating tbe Har
riman control of the Union and South
ern Pacific, will make public its report
within a day or two and that it will
recommend a separation of the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads on
the ground that they are competing
linea and that their operation aa one
system to against public policy and a
direct violation of the Sherman tow.
At the office of E. H. Harriman tbe
statement waa made that Mr. Hani
man bad no advance knowledge of tbe
commission's recommendation and had
received no intimation as 46 when it
would be made public.
The Wall street etory declared that
the commtoeionera bad nnanimooaiy
advised the attorney general to begin
an action to force Union Pacific to di
vest itself oi all ita Southern Pacific
stock, of which it holds 900,000 shares.
According to the report, so tbe story
went, tbe two systems are In direct
competition from the Mississippi valley
to tbe Pacific coast and arbitrarily fix
ratea in restraint of trade. . Tbe com
mission believes, this story continues.
tbst there is ample law to break up this
combination.
It has been known for several months
that Mr. Harriman expects that some
attempt will be made to prevent tbe
Union Pacific from holding the stocks
of competing lines, and it to said that
bia lawyers have been at work nron a
plan to enable tbe Union Pacific to di
vest itself of tbeee securities voluntarily
and thereby prevent long and expensive
litigation, such sa occurred in the North
ern Securities fight. It is said that Mr.
Harriman's plan ia to form a holding
company similar to the Railroad Secur
ities company, which be organiseJ sev
eral years ago to hold bis Illinoii Cen
tral stock.- Tbe legality of thia com
pany has never been attacked.
JAPAN DOES NOT WANT WAR.
Bryan Saya Jingoes Cauaa Scare to
Get Big Navy.
Carthage, Mo., July 13. "Japan
does not want to mak war npon the
United States," William J. Bryan ia
quoted as saying in an interview.
"Of course," he continued "there
ia a lot of jingoism in this Japanese
war talk and the hurrying of a fleet of
warships to the Pacific ooast. To my
mind, tbe'object is not to repel an at
tack by Japan but that the talk ia be
ing done by some alleged statesmen at
Washington to influence congress to
make a big naval appropriation.
" W hen 1 say Japan does not want
war, I do so advisedly, for, when I waa
in Japan, I talked with the leading
men of all walks of life and I found
only expressions of friendship for our
country." . '
Many Japanase for Canada.
Victoria. B. C, July 13. The Tokio
Immigration company has entered a
son tract with the Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk Pacific railways to supply
all help wanted on construction work
and will eeneV about 3,000 Japanese
into Canada. Yesterday 399 Japanese
arrived. The company to working very
quietly so as not to excite suspicion and
will bring over a contingent on every
boat. Advices from Honolulu state that
a steamer haa been chartered to carry
875 to British Columbia. Labor or
ganizations have taken the matter np
and in all probability it will be refer
red to tbe Dominion authorities.
All Due to Trouble Maker. .
New York, July 13. Viscount Aokl,
the Japanese ambasador, who is in New
York to attend a reception in honor of
Admiral Yamamoto, reasserted hia de
laratlon that there is no "Japaneee
Amerian situation," and that all the
talk of trouble between the two nations
la a phantom creation of irresponsible
trouble-makers and trouble-hunters. If
there be any cause for anxiety, he said,
it ia due to the influence of unwarrant
ed press talk, "that often tends to
drive even the calmest temper of the
publio into a tempestuous rage."
8ava Crew of Submarine.,
London, July 13. Two officers of the
navy have invented an aparatus which
it to expected will remove the present
dangers to crews manning snbmarlne
boatt. It is designated to enable the

gases. Experiments at Portsmouth
proved successful. The invention ie
sembles a diving helmet with a jacket

Japan at Tha Hague Urge Quick
Action Agalnat United Statae.
London, July 10. The correspond-
ennt ol tbe Daily Telegraph "at The
Hague sends in a column dispatch which
purport to reflect the vlewa prevailing

orbing than the conference itaelf.
The correspondent says that, a a re
solt of his inquiries, he learns the situ
ation to really strained, although both,
government ara trying to conceal tba
fact. He asserts that aince June 20 the
question baa entered npon an acute
phase. Japan has been tending the
United Statee extremely categorical
notes, stating without bitterness but in
the clearest terms the dilemma that,
unless Waheington is able to control
California, Japan will consider herself
free to act directly against California.
Nothing, however, yet haa been ex
changed precluding a pacific sett lament,
but many of the Japanese at The Hague
are ol tha opinion that tbe Japanese
government ought to set without delay
and not give America time to utilize her
vast resources and economic potentiali
ty, a hundredfold greater than Japan 'a,
to perfect warlike preparation.

STRIKE AT CHICAGO.
Walkout of Telegrapher May Spread
to Windy City.
Chicago, July 10. Chicago will, in
all probability, be the next large city
to feel the telegraphers' strike. Just
st the time when peace prospects seem
ed brightest, President Small announc
es hia determination to spread tba
strike. Commissioner Neill and the
executive committee of the internation- '
al onion are on their way to Fan Fran
cisco to counsel peace and attempt to
bring about a settlement, while Presi
dent Small will start from the coast
tomorrow to spread the movement. A
telegram received from him tonight
say he will be here Sunday. That to
the date set for a meeting of the onion
here, and ik ia almost certain a strike
against both the Postal and Western
Union companies will be then declared.
Telegrams have been sent to" intercept
Neill and the executlve'committee, and
they will probably return, aa there to
no prospect for peace. The sudden
warlike attitude to due to the refusal of
the Western Union at San Franciaco to
confer with the union, aa a union. ' It
will be necessary, before a strike to
called here, to obtain the consent of the
International executive board.
What course will be pursued by Com
missioner of Labor Neill was a subject
for much speculation today. It la said
that while in Chicago he mdae it plain
to the union offioials that "war talk"
and threats agalnat tbe Wee tern Union
Telegraph company would only serve to
hinder him in bringing both sides to
gether on a peace basis.
