MOB OPPOSES DIAZ
Troops Called Out to Suppress
Mexican Political Meeting.
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

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.

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
