feel elated over the order issued by
the secretary of the interior, counter
manding the order for the sale of the
government power site on the Kamath

GARY'S TALK OUT.
Steel
Magnate Urges Co-operation
and Stability.
New York The arguments with
which Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the directors of the United States
Steel corporation, addressed iron and
steel manufacturers who were h
guests-t a recent luncheon to discuss
the independent action of the Kepubl
Iron and Steel company in reducing
prices, were made public by him
Tuesday. They threw added light on
what occurred behind the closed doors
at the Metropolitan club, where the
conference was held.
Mr. Gary argued for continuing co
operation among the steel makers and
for stability in prices, but his ap
parent wishes on the price question
were overruled Dy a general dimcuity
to meet the cuts of the Republic com'
pany. In his remarks, Mr. Gary
touched upon the possibility of wage
reductions, the value of fair dealings
and frankness by great corporations
in view of the recent Supreme court
decision in the Standard Oil case.
OLD FARMS LURE AGAIN.
24 Wslla Walla
Call
Families Heed
"Back to Country.'.
Walla Walla, Wash. "Back to the
farm," is cry that has a real mean
ng in Walla Walla. More than two
dozen families have left the city for
their abandoned farms within the past
two weeks. More have announced
their intention of so doing and it is
believed that within a year the desert
ed homesteads will be remhabited.
More than a score of vacant houses
in the city have been left by farmers
who have gone back to their ranches
and several city homes have been put
on the market for sale. It is not the
usual summer exodus to the farms,
It is the belief that the farm is a de
sirable place to live and the deserted
farmhouses are to be full of life again
after years of desertion.
Huge Depot Dedicated.
Chicago The Chicago & North
western railway's new passenger sta
tion, the second largest passenger ter
minal in the world used by only one
road, was formally opened here Sun
day. The terminal covers 20 acres.
The station yard covers 343,040 square
feet, and the building section 69,760
square feet. Sixteen tracks with a
capacity of 200 cars enter the train
shed, giving the station a capacity of
250,000 passengers a day. The total
cost of the station was $23,750,000,
$11,560,000 being for real estate.
Chicago Police Doubt Tale.
Chicago Chicago police discredit
the purported confession of John De-
laney in Muskogee, Okla., Saturday,
in which he said he had, at the direc
tion of John J. McNamara, secretary
and treasurer of the International
Association of Bridge and Ironwork
ers, selected buildings in different
cities for destruction by dynamite,
among them being a viaduct in Chi
cago, which was, he said, blown up in
rebruary, 1907.
Mexico to Sand New Man.
Mexico City Announcement is
made of the appointment of Gilbert O.
Crespoy Martinez as ambassador to
Washington to succeed Manuel de
Zamacona, who probably will be re
turned to London as the government's
financial agent. Since Zamacona'a ap
pointment as ambassador, the London
post has been filled by Pahlo
Macero, who resigned last week.
Alaska Mines Sold.
Cordova, Alaska Representatives
of the London Exploration com nan v.
the Pearson Syndicate, are here clos
ing a deal for the purchase of more
than 60 gold quartz claims in the
McKinley lake district near this city.
The purchase price is approximately
$500,000. i
a portion of the project and the power
will then be needed.
The directors appealed to Congress.
man Hawley and through him the
matter was presented to the Interior
department. In order to hold the site
the government has to do a certain
amount of development work and the
reclamation service is now performing
this work. It is not known (what will
be the ultimate disposition of the
power site, but the directors are plan
ning to acquire title to the property
by adding its cost to the Klamath pro
ject. By this method it would pass
into full control of the association as
soon as the land owners paid back to
the government the money expended
in building the irrigation system.
Several corporations were ready to
bid on the site and had it not been for
the timely action taken by the water
users the sale would have been made
and in later years the land owners
might have been forced to pay a high
price for power to some private con
cern.
SHEEPMEN ENTER PROTEST.
Assessment Against Their Property
Said to Be Too High
Baker Declaring" that sheep are as
sessed out of proportion to their mar
ket value, and that the sheepmen of
the county of Baker are paying more
than their proportion of the taxes on
the county and state, the legislative
committee of the Baker-Union Wool
growers' association has drafted res
olutions to the state board of tax com
missioners asking the board to use its
inneunce witn county assessors
throughout the state to have sheep as
sessed at a lower rate. Members of
the local association say that this is a
state-wide movement. Similar res
olutions will be sent in from every
sheep county in the state. The res
olutions say that ewes are sold on the
market for $2 and yearlings for $1.50
to $2, while ewes are assessed at $6
and yearlings at $5.50 in Baker coun
ty. The sheepmen also assert that
Jerry Fleetwood, the county assessor,
is a cattleman and is inclined to give
the sheepmen the worst of it.
SEATTLE MAN BUYS IN OREGON
One of the Finest Orchards Brings
75,000, for 90,Acres.
Grants Pass Fred G. Cutler, of Se
attle, has purchased the Elmer Shank
orchard, four miles down the river.
for the sum of $75,000. This tract of
land consists of 90 acres in fruit, 50
acres in bearing trees 12 years old.
and balance in five-year-old trees.
The output last year was 18,000 boxes
of merchantable apples. This is one
of the best orchards in the country
and the price is the largest ever paid
for a single orchard in this vicinity.
Cutler will immediately bring his
family to Rogue River valley to pass
the summer. A few years ago this
land was sold to Shank for one-half
the present price. Since that time the
new land has been brought to a high
state of cultivation and the number of
bearing trees greatly increased.
Larger Purchase It Urged.
Salem State Senator I'atton and
Representative Reynolds, of Marion
county, waited on Governor West and
Secretary Olcott Monday urging them
as members of the state board to buy
the entire block east of the present
capitol grounds instead of half a block
as originally planned. This will be
the site for the additional capitol
building lor wnicn xioo.uim was ap
propriated by the last legislative
assembly.

Lebanon and Brownsville Folk Have
Fine Section,
Portland That Brownsville
Lebanon will build up one of the
fruit districts of the state in regard to
crowing and preserving small fruits
is the belief of J. 1. Lee, who visited
meeting at the former place of peopl
interested in the industry.
Mr. Lee went to Brownsville as the
representative of the Portland commer
cial club and made an address encour
aging the organization of fruit grow
era' unions in that district.
"This is a very fertile district.
said Mr. Lee, "and the future
bright in this industry. Conditions
are right for the formation of a fru
union in Brownsville, which probably
will combine with the similar organ
ization already in operation at Leb
anon.
"Berries, cherries, pears, and
fact all the fruits common to this cli
mate thrive remarkably well in that
region. From the earliest time in the
state's history the people of that dis
trict have hud a reputation for being
pioneers in progressive work and all
that is required at this time is the re'
incarnation of the old spirit; organ iz
ation and activity along progressive,
modern lines. We had a good aud
ence with a delegation from Lebanon
and I think our meeting awakened
greater interest in fruit culture
its preservation."

Cold Holds Wheat Back.
Condon Owing to the cold and
backward weather in thfa county thi
spring, grain crops In this locality are
about two weeks behind the average
season. While the grain is not suffer
ing from want of moisture in most
sections of the county, a hard rain a
this time would be a vast benefit and
this in particular applies to the north
end of the county. Farmers about
Condon and south of here claim they
have ample moisture and are anxious
to see warm weather. Fall grain i
doing well and will do well if a good
rain is had in June and the fore part
of July, which has seldom failed in
this county, but spring grain which
was sown late should have rain in the
next ten days in order to insure a good
aveage crop.
Sea Lion Season on Soon.
Marshfield The season for hunting
sea lions on the Curry county conn
will begin soon. It is likely that some
of the local fishermen who have sea
going boats will hunt for the sea lions
In past years the industry has been
carried on quite extensively. There
are many sea lions along differen
points on curry county and they are
valuable for the fat, which is used for
oil, and for the hides, which are
tanned and used in making belting.
The sea lions are shot and picked up
by gasoline boats.

'Salmon Catch Improved.
Astoria Since the warmer weather
began there has been quite an improve
ment In the runs of salmon and the
gillnettera during the past two or
three days have been making fairly
good catches. While the season thus
far, is regarded generally as poor
one, one of the canners says that the
pack to date is fully equal to the
amount put up at the corresponding
time a year ago.
Peach Orchards Yield Heavy.
Hood River Athough most of the
peach trees of Hood Rjver valley have
but little fruit on them this season,
C. H. Stranahan reports that the trees
of his orchard are overloaded and that
he has found ft necessary to thin away
more than one-half of the fruit. On a
twig less than five inches long there
are 10 large, well-shaped peaches.

Madero and his party in Mexico prop
er. General Pryce went to los Angeles
