HEAT KILLS IN EAST
Mortality Is Already Above Last
Year's Record.
FIERCE STORM ALSO IS FATAL
Prostrations Reported From Chicago,
New York, Philadelphia, Bos
ton and Elsewhere,
Chicago, June 29. In spite of occa
sional storms, there was no let-up yes
terday in the killing heat that has held
the whole Eastern section of the Unit
ed States in its grip for the past week.
Ten deaths were reported in this city,
due solely to the heat; in New York
there were two deaths from heat and
one from a thunder storm that swept
over the city late in the day. Pros
trations were almost without number,
hfre, in New York, in Philadelphia
and Boston.
Here there was some relief afforded
late last night, when a cooling breeze
swept in from the lake. It was not
regarded as a permanent break in the
hot wave, however, and emergency or
ders were issued by the police throw
ing open the parks and playgrounds to
men and boys. Many took advantage
of this, and crowds from the poorer
sections of the city sought a breathing
apace for the night in the open.
During the day a man named Carl
Summers became demented from the
excessive heat, and rushed into the
waters of Lake Michigan for relief.
Though he was rescued the sho.k prov
ed too great for him. and he died later
in the hospital.
The Salvation Army will take 2,500
poor children on a lake trip today.
TWO DEATHS IN NEW YORK.
Thunder Storm Does Great Damage
and Cools Air Somewhat.
New York, June 29. The second of
series of cooling thunder storms broke
over the city la'e yesterday. There
was a sudden drop in temperature.
The storm was responsible for the death
of one man and injury of several. At
the Polo grounds the game between
New York and Brooklyn was about to
begin when lightning struck the flag
pole in center field, smashing the upper
portion of the staff into splinters and
tearing down the pennant flag which
the New York team won in 1905.
Before relief came two deaths were
ad Jed to the long list of temperature
victims. There were a score of pros
trations. The maximum temperature
was 86, but the humidity was great.
Summing up the results of the heat
wave, Health Commissioner Darlington
in his weekly mortality report today
noted an increase of nearly 2"0 deaths
over the corresponding period last year.

BALLINQER STARTS WEST.
Will Rid Indian Service of Incompe
tent Agents.
Chicago, June 28. Secretary R. A.
Ballinger, the "big chief" of the De
partment of the Interior, sharpened his
long knife and tomahawk today while
he was in Chicago, to go after the
scalps of a large number of Indian
agents on the reservations in the West
He spent the greater portion of the
day with Frank Sorenson, superintend
ent of the Indian warehouse, and then
announced that he was getting ready
to rid the Indian agencies of numerous
incompetent hands.
He made no secret of the fact that
he is "heap brave," and ia going on
the warpath to burn the red tape of the
department. He laid the foundation
for his campaign in a long conference
with Mr. Sorenson, making detailed
inquiries into the manner of conduct
ing business with agents and inspected
the stock of goods on hand which are
being shipped daily by carloads to the
reservations.
Secretary Ballinger said tonight that
he was going to make radical changes
in the manner of conducting Indian
affairs tn the West.
"I am not afraid to cut away the red
tape when I see that it is hampering
the work of the department, said
Mr. Ballinger. "I think the principal
difficulty is with the incompetent
agents. They are not unscrupulous.
but it takes good business men and
men who understand the manners of
the Indiana to deal with them."
Secretary Ballinger left late tonight
for Kansas.

APPLES IN DEMAND.
If Excessive Price is Cut Down, De
mand is Unlimited.
Washington, June 29. W. K. New
ell, of Gaston, representing the Oregon
Horticultural society, who has been
traveling through the East studying
the apple situation, both as to produc
tion and market, bad a conference to
day with Secretary Wilson and other
Agricultural department officials. He
was assured on every hand that there
ia no danger of overproduction of ap
ples in Oregon ; that the Eastern mar
ket is almost unlimited, but before the
trade can assume large proportions
means must be devised for getting
Oreg.n apples into the Eastern market
at less cost to the consumer.
They are in great demand for their
quality, but the price is almost prohib
itive. Mr. Newell says after weeks of
giudy that higher prices in the East
sr se from the fact that apples pass
through too many hands before reach
ing the consumer and therefore pay too
many profits. He believes this can be
ov rcome.
Lack of Railroads Prevents Oregon
From Becoming Sugar State.
Washington, June 2S. According to
the 1 nited States Department of Agri
culture, lack of transportation facili
ties in Oregon is seriously retarding
the development of the beet sugar in
dustry in that state. Oregon today has
but one beet sugar factory that at
La Grande. Capital has been looking
over the Eastern Oregon field and sev
eral localities have been found where
the growing of sugar beets on a large
sea e wjuld prosper if there were ade
quate facilities for getting the beets
to a factory. But the a I m( stutter
lack of railroad transportation is an
obstale too great to be overcome in
most instancces. The department re
port indicates that there is prospect of
the installation of a sugar factory at
Enterprise, though no details are given
and the whole matter is still undecided.
Washington, like Oregon, has but a
single sugar factory at th a time.
That one is at Waverly. There are a
number of places in Eastern Washing
ton, however, where the building of
sugar factories is seriously contemplat
ed, among them North Yakima, Spo
kane and Thorp. The department re
ports that companies have been formed;
in some cases contracts have been
made with the farmers to grow sugar
beets; considerable capital has been
subscribed; concessions have been
tentatively secured from towns, such
s free building sites, remission of
taxes for a period of years and other
privileges. All these projects are
simply awaiting development or more
opportune conditions.

of ;he girls of the town, north or

So North Mayvllle prepared for Its
parade and speeches, and South May
vllle did the same. Harry and I.ed met
often and exchanged notes as to the
progress of the work. It was to be a
very bitter rivalry.
Kor days the two sections of the
town were excited. The tales of the
doings of "the other side" were related
with great exaggeration. Imrlne heard
them and wondered If her party was
o be so very much outshone.
"They tell me that they are getting
up a a rlcature of me," she said to

"They would not dare," was the
eager response. "If they did I would
punish the author myself."
" l.o Is In charge of the other
tide?
"Led Norton, of course. "
Dorlne'a color heightened, but Harry
did not notice It. He was at last re
warded by securing her promise that
she would act the principal part In
the parade. He went away wondering
bow he could arrange it so that be
might be near ber on the glorious
occasion.
On the eve of the Important day
there was a gathering In the back
room of the Cattlemen's Club. Around
the table sat six of the largest owners
of stock on the range. They talked
of the morrow.
"I am In favor of knocking them
out once for all," Colonel Norton was
saying. "That side of the town has
got to be wiped out eventually or our
property will be worthless. last's scare
their old parade out of sight and let
them see that we are running the
town.
Some objection was raised, but In
the end the worthies were all satisfied
with a plan that promised dire trouble
for the neighboring burg. Hut only
the six cattle bnrous knew of It when
the morning dawned. The rivalry of
Western towns does not permit of
much confidence or exchange of tear-testes.
There was another conference that
night, but the cattlemen did not know
of It. Only two were 1n It Harry and
