TWO AMERICANS ARE WOUNDED Supporters of Reyaa for President t tend Dial Gathering end Troops Fire Upon Rioters. Mexico City, July 27. Two dead, 20 injured and more than 200 arrested, is the rult of political riots in Guada lajara yesterday and last night, ac cording to reports received here. The riots started when a mob broke up a mass meeting in Delgado theater in th interest of the re-election of President Dias. The orators were stoned in streetcars, carriages and au tomobiles in which they rode. Mobs paraded the streets crying: "Down with Dial!" "We want Reyes!'' A barricade was erected and many shoU were exchanged. Eight policemen were wounded. The .police charged the crowd re peatedly, but were repulsed. State troops were called out a.id a number of vollovs were fired in the air without effect. Considerable American property was destroyed and two Americans were wounded. The Americans have asked the American consulate for protection. The Hotel Garcia, which was wrecked by the mob, was leased by an Ameri can, and he has put in a claim for damages. The riot is the most serious that has occurred in Mexico in years, and is looked upon as significant by those who have been closely following the politi cal situation. The officials say it was planned and carried out by the Demo cratic party, known as the Reyesta party, from the name of the candidate for vice president. General Bernardo Reyes. PORTERS OUTWIT HARRIMAN Buy LandJJind Block Road Leading to Construction Camp. Grass Valley, Ore., July 27. Porter Bros, opened a war of strategy on Har riman's railroad construction forces today by cutting off the base of sup ples for Twohy Bros.' camps at Horse Shoe bend, in the canyon of the Des chutes. This was accomplished by Porter Bros, by the acquisition of the homestead of Fred Gurti, across which runs the only road that leads to the brink of the canyon anywhere near the vicinity of Horse Shoe bend. It is said that Porter Bros, paid $30,000 for the land by which they have shut off entrance to the canyon to Twohy Bros. At Horse Shoe bend Twohy Bros, hnvo hotnin tn establish the bieeest camp along the construction route, but to get there with the trainload ot sup plies now here the Harriman contract ors will have to cross Porter Bros.' land, and Porter 3ros. have put up signs warning trespassers off the prop erty. The Gurtz homestead is enclosed by a barbed wire fence and a wire gate is across the road at one boundary line and a wooden gat at the other. COLONIST RATES AGAIN. Railroads to Give Reduced Fares to Pacific Coast This Fall. Chicago, July 27. Colonists' fares to the Pacific coast which have been under consideration at the rate meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger as sociation for several days,,will be made this fall at the same rates as hereto fore, $33 from Chicago, $32 from St. Louis and $25 from the Missouri river to California and North Pacific states. rheir availability will be reduced, however, from the usual 60 days to a month, from September 15 to October 15. This was decided upon because the heaviest movement has been found dur ing the first and last ten days of that period. About 25,000 people are ex pected to take advantage of the rates, which are for single trips. Carving Away Sloop Gjoa. San Francisco, July 27. Fearing that relic hunters will carry away piecemeal the sloop Gjoa, in which Raoul Amundsen sailed through the Northwest passage, the San Francisco police department has set a guard over the sloop and will try to punish some of those whose initials cover the ves sel's sides. The ship is beached at Golden Gate park and was intended to be a museum for things nautical. Relic hunters have carved away at the timbers until the worth of the vessel as a historic relic is impaired. Sixth Calhoun Venire Ordered. San Francisco, July 27. The Bixth veire of talesmen for the second trial of Patrick Calhoudn was ordered today by Judge Lawlor, which brings the total number of talesmen called up to 610 names. The venire of 100 names drawn from the jury box today was made returnable Wednesday, when it is expected the present venire will be exhausted. The examination of tales men proceeded quietly, notwithstanding several jurors had decided opinions re specting the guilt or innocence of the accused. New Island In Pacific. San Francisco, July 27. A new is land has sprunif up in the Pacific ocean not far to the southeast of the Society ana uamoier groups, according to Cap tain Ouatrevuux. of the French shin Thiers, which arrived from Newcastle, Australia, yesterday. The island is but a few hundred yards in circumfer ence, and appears to be of volcanic origin. The uncharted rock is describ ed in the kg of the Thiers as of low and uninviting appearance.

NORTHWEST APPLES BEST. Bring Higher Price Than Those From Any Other State. Consul General Robert P. Skinner, writing from Hamburg, Germany, de tails facta relating to the apple indus try of this country aa reflected in the pricea revived there, and shows that Oregon and Washington apples bring more than those from any other states, the scale being in comparison with the California product aa follows: State Per 1-bushel case Oregon, Washington .... $2.fili3.67 California l.t'0((2.61 As to the possibilities of the exten sion of the apple trade with Germany, the report shows that in litOS liormany imported 164,421 tons of apples, of which the United States supplied only 10,502 tons; in 1907 Germany import ed 1S1.457 tons, the United fctates sending 9,229 tons. Germany enforeei rigidly inspection for the San Jose scale, and this pest has been found on a number of ship ments from the Pacific roast. Mr. Skinner says, however, that as a rule American apples reach Germany in Brood condition. He urges that care be exercised by all apple shippers to free their orchards from scale and all other pests, and then exercise constant super vision of their employes to insure that the fruit shall be packed so as to make it pleasing to the eye as well aa protect it against bruising while being trans ported. Hamburg is the great apple receiv ing port. There, write the consul, honest and impartial rules of sale are observed and the seller always receives what is his due, the msrket regulations and government inspection having been developed in a manner to make it cer tain that always there shall be no crooked work or unjust rejection of shipments. German fruit buyers have for years been sending their representatives to America to look over orchards and packing houses, and keep informed on the conditions of the industry in all important localities where considerable quantities of fruit are produced. These agents often go without making known their identity, and thus obtain infor mation which might otherwise be harder to secure. The report ofConsul General Skinner agrees with previous reports which have been sent to the government from abroad that Pacific coast apple now lead this country in all Kuropean mart. It likewise emphasixes the necessity of maintaining the present high standard, in order that the high prices now obtained may be main tained and the apple industry reap the large profit which has been made in the past years. CROP A RECORD BREAKER. Prospect in Pacific Northwest Never Better Than Now. According to information received during the past week the Pacific Northwest will produce almost four times as many cars of potatoes as a year ago. This increase is startling, even though the comparison with the pro duction of a year ago in not exactly a correct showing, for the 1908 crop was just about half of what was produced the previous season. During the present season the acre age of potatoes in the Pacific North west, but more especially in Oregon, shows the greatest increase for one year ever noted here. While a large per cent of this increase was in the Willamette valley, most of the addi tional acreage was planted in Eastern Oregon. Eastern Washington and Idaho like wise have a very heavy potato acreage increase and the production there will be much greater than during any pre vious ear. Western Washington had a greater acreage cf potatoes than a year ago, but the difference in favor of this season is not great so far as the additional planting is concerned. Potato crop prospects could scarcely be improved over what they are in Oregon, Washington and Idaho this season, and the same is stated to be the case in California. In Eastern Oregon, where some of the poorest showings were made in grain produc tion this season, the crop of potatoes never looked better. In the Willamette valley, potatoes will show better quality this year than evt-r before and the sizes will be just that which gained for this section the reputation of growing the very best potatoes in the entire United States. In seasons previous to the present one, the potato acreage and production of Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho had little, if anything, to do with prices at Portland or San Fran cisco, but this season each of these sections will be a strong factor in the market and unless all signs fail price will reach a lower figure than for some sessons. Potato price have been so high along the Pacific coast in recent years that the trade can scarcely come to think that lower prices will again be in effect. With such a heavy increase in acreage and a production so much greater per acre than normal, the sup plies will be fully as great as any de mand would justify, and that being the case, present out of line value will go out of effect. Russia Retort to Knife Paris, July 26. Jean Juarez, Social ist leader in the chamber of deputies, today publicly warned the French gov ernment that he had reason to believe Dr. Dubrovin, president of the League of Russian People, had sent emissaries to Pari for the purpose of murdering M. Bourtzeff, an exiled Russian revo lutionist. Bourtzeff recently exposed General Harting, chief of the Russian political police in Paris, accusing him of being the organizer of the dyna mite plot against Emperor Alexander III. Train Falls Into River. Kansas City, Mo., July 26. At least two person are known to be dead, on trainman is missing and between irt and 30 are injured a a result of a wreck of Wabash passenger train No. 4, 30 miles east of here tonight. The train fell into the Missouri river, where , the track had been weakened by a land ( elide. The engine, baggage car, mail . car,smoker and a dead-head sleeper, ' plunged nito the water and were com ' pletely submerged. 'ltlTatlM ot Cora, When corn la planted after the first week In Juue the land need more at tention than when prepared earlier. If plowed early til weeds will have made an appearance, which U an ad YittttiiKe, as they can be destroyed be fore the corn Is planted; but the late corn will tie more easily Injured by drought than that which has made an earlier start. The crop should he "" llvittetl after every rain, so s to pre vent loss of moisture. Another point Is to thin out the plnnta If they are too thick. It would lie difficult to In duce many farmers to "thin out" their corn, as they would claim that the land, having been manured, was caps ule of providing for as ninny stalks tn the hills as niHde their ni'ir- ance; It la not a matter of plant food with late corn, however, hut moisture. When too many stalks iro c-l.ise to gether there Is a strucsle for exist ence; some become weeds to the oth ers, and In the end only the. most vig orous make growth, and yield grain CHAMPION HOLSTEIK BULL. TO EXHIBITED AT THK ILLINOIS STATK FA lit, l'J' up to the average. It la, therefore, better to remove every stalk that shows lack of growth, and If the hero ic remedy of reducing the stalks to two lu a hill could be tried on a plot by way of experiment, the result would be satisfactory, as well aa con vince farmer that there Is nothing gained by endeavoring to grow three or four plant la a space which only two should occupy. If rainfall con tinues to be abundant, as has been the case for June, there will be no neces sity for reducing the number of slants. rroesta Barbed Wire Fesiee.

Recent experiments on the Ontario Experiment Farm show that the yeast like micro-organism of bitter torula Is the cause of much bitter milk and cheese. Factories In that section have complained of th bitterness of the milk, and a a consequence the experi ment station has conducted extensive Investigation as to the cause. Cul tures of the torula were added to milk and cheese that bad been sterilized, and In each case a bitter taste was the result. It was not found In milk drawn Into sterilized dishes, but was found reguarly In mixed milk, In the solutions used for can washes, and also on the leaves of trees under which the cans were habitually kept. The remedies are to cool the milk promptly and to guard It from Infec tion of nay kind. All cans and other utensils should be carefully washed and sterilized by heat The Connecti cut exporlmcnt station discovered sev eral year ago that a specie of bac teria was the cause of bitter milk and cream. This can be rendered harm ':w by sterilization. lire Paatare. Rye pasture for cow makes the milk bave a bad taste or flavor unles great care 1 taken tn the matter of oast urine.

Even thl precaution may leave a slight taint In the milk and appear In the cream and butter. Denver Field and Farm. r t r"": Man? -oree ta rlell'.
