CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. General Return of Important Event! Presented In Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. Germany's reply to the arbitration proposal is reported to be favorable. English troops have fired on strik ers in Liverpool, and a general strike of transport workers has been called, An 18-year-old girl was killed by falling 1S5 feet onto jagged rocks while climbing Mount Juneau, Alaska. Boys in the Upper Willamette val ley are making $ 2 to $3 per day pick ing fir cones with which the forestry department is reseeding burned-ovr lands. The Southern Pacific has applied to the Interstate Commerce commission for permission to charge a higher rate of fare for passengers over the Siski you mountains. A hungry Italian in Boston went to the immigration station and declared he believed he was suffering from cholera, but admitted later that he did it to get something to eat. The husband of a rich Seattle wo man disappeared from their hotel in Los Angeles with a handbag contain ing $30,000 worth of gems and jewel ry, and no trace of him can be found. A Tacoma hotel keeper is under ar rest because the sheets on his beds are not up to the legal size. He swears the linen has been shrunk by the laundries and refuses to put up bail. ANARCHIST HURLS KNIFE. Crowds were so great and so unruly at the registration for lands of the Berthold Indian reservation in North Dakota that the registrar threatened to put them out of the building on ac- count of their violence. San Franiiaco Reds Defy Police and Start Riot. San Francisco Efforts of the police to break up a meeting of alleged an archists here Sunday showed net re suits of three riot calls, the arrest of 10 men, and narrow escape of two firemen from a hurled knife and a de- tective badly bitten in the hand. For several months the "anarch ists" have been holding Sabbath meet ings on the sidewalk in the Latin quarter. The Italian Roman Catholic church is not far distant, and a wor shipper on h's way to mass heard le marks from one of the speakers that caused him to lodge a protest over the telephone with the police. Two detectives were sent to investi gate, and were hooted at when they nterrupted the speaker. Thereupon the officers placed Michael Cenetrone and Philip Perone under arrest and started to take them to jail. With a yell of rage that brought everybody in the neighborhood on the run, the 200 assembled "anarchists" charged the detectives, who were forced to take refuge in a Broadway tire station. A riot call brought a 'squad of pa trolmen to the scene and seven other men were taken into custody. They, too, were lodged in the fire station. As the big outer door was closing on the retiring police, the alleged leader of the "anarchists" created a sensation in front of the truck house. Shouting at the top of his voice, he jerked off his gaudy straw hat, threw it to the ground and danced madly on it. Then, whipping out a huge clasp knife, he sprung the blade and hurled the weapon through the closing door. It was a 75-foot throw, but the knife went true as a bullet and whistled past the ears of Firemen F. M. Hogan and Jack Edgar, imbedding itself in a wall.

Japanese Admiral Presents Costly Souvenir to Warrior, New York Admiral Togo paid a warrior's tribute to Colonel Roosevelt. Apparently Roosevelt, the fighter, had appealed to the Japanese admiral, rather than Roosevelt, the peace maker, for when he marched up Saga more Hill to meet the ex-president he carried Mr. Roosevelt a two-foot min iature of a soldier's armor. ' This unique souvenir was of glisten ing metal, exquisitely carved, and was encased in a heavy mahogany box, adorned with Japanese colors. Admiral Togo had kept the pros pective gift secret, and had apparent ly carried it on his travels from the time he left Japan. The Japanese admiral journeyed to Oyster Bay on a special train on the Long Island road. Colonel Roosevelt, in a dark suit and immaculate white vest, stepped out on the veranda and greeted the admiral, who wore a white service uniform. "Delighted to meet you !" excaimed the colonel, his face beaming. The party filed into the broad recep tion room and the admiral presented his gift. The colonel expressed his gratitude in a broadside of superla tives. After luncheon the party gathered on the wide veranda whence sounds of frequent laughter and the vigorous voice of Mr. Roosevelt often issued The luncheon was strictly private. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE NEW FIRE RULE RIGID. Precautions Must Be Taken in Burn ing of Forest Slashings. Salem New regulations covering the burning of slashings have been is sued by the State board of forestry and incorporated into a press bulletin In resolutions the board it is point ed out that there are instances tend ing to show that the law has not been duly observed and that public safety as well as private-property has been endangered. The regulations became effective August 10 and are as follows: ""Burning of log piles, stumps, or brush heaps without permit as pro vided for under section 7 of the Ore gon forest fire law, is permissible only where the material to be burned is a safe distance from other inflammable material and where the ground sur rounding the log piles, stumps, or brush heaps is cleared of any substance which will allow of fire spreading to adjacent wooded, brush, or slash-1 covered land, either the property of the parties engaged in burning or that of another. "Adequate precautions and personal control are interpreted as meaning that all fires set without permit musi be continually watched both night and day by a sufficient number of men on the ground for that purpose, and should fires escaie steps must be taken at once to extinguish it. "Burning done in violation of these regulations will submit the party or parties concerned to prosecution under the fire laws. " GOLD STAMPEDES BEND. City Nearly Unpeopled By Report of Rich Strike." Bend What is characterized as the most remarkable gold rush experienced in Oregon for many years burst into full swing at Bend last week. As a result of the discovery of quartz, which assays have shown to c mtain a commercially valuable amount of gold, the town is all but deserted. The gold-bearing quartz was discovered 12 BARLEY JUMPS TO SI 40. WORK'S SCOPE LIMITED. of COUNTLESS CHINESE DEAD. Floods Along Yangtse Cause Suffer' ing Beyond Description. Victoria, B. C. Floods have caused loss of hundreds of lives and great suffering in China, where several riv ers have overflowed along the Yangtse, Arrivals from Shanghai by the Em press of Japan say that the distress which followed the floods is so great that children are being exposed for sale. One eye witness from Hankow tells of seeing a band of refugees camped under hovels of matting with a num uer oi ennaren neraea under a sign announcing them for sale at the rate of 16 strings of cash (about 50 cents) for a boy and eight strings of cash (about 25 cents) for a girl. Japs After Canal Trade. Victoria, B. C. News was brought by the Lmpress of Japan that the Osaka Shosen Kaisha has in view the establishment of a steamship line via the Panama canal when it is com pleted. At the annual meeting held shortly before the empress liner de parted, Nakagawa and Chiura, offi cials of the company, were ordered to visit the Panama zone in the United States and South America to investi gate trade possibilities in this connec tion. The Japanese line proposes to run into New York via the canal. Knox Helping Mexicans. Washington, D. C. In annnouncing that the United States has granted authority to Mexico to send troops across United States territory to I,ow er Caifornia, Secretary of State Knox complimented President de la Barra on his efforts to restore order in Mex- Mexican ru rales will be per mitted to go from Douglas, Arizona, Tia Juana, Mexico, to suppress lawlessness in the northern part of Lower California. Judiciary Commission Sees Lack "Stability." Salem That the jurisdiction of the judiciary commission on the revision of the judicial system does not extend to the recall of the judiciary is one of the conclusions reached at a meeting of that body. No definite action along the line of its prospective work was taken up by the commission, fur ther than organization of committees. Informally there was considerable discussion of the questions with which the commission must grapple and an abundance of varying theories were advanced, indicating that the commis sion has a task before it to reach dis tinct conclusions. There seems to be harmony, however. A feeling has been put into expres sion by some of the members of the commission that their present labors are more or less futile, owing to the possibility of repeated changes in the system. Even though the present commis sion prepares an elaborate bill, after months of study, and this bill be comes a law, the constitutional amend ment allows full opportunity for the legislature or the people to revolution ize the judicial system again in the course of the following two years "Stability" is considered the real goal to be attained for the courts by these members of the commission and the possibility of repeated changes is not encouraging to them. miles west of here on the edge of the forest reserve among the foothills of the Cascade mountains. Several mer chants deserted their stores and joined the army of gold seekers. In the van of prospectors are several ex-miners recently come from Alaska, whose en thusiasm concerning the discoverie has had much to do with the general excitement. As far as can be ascertained, th , first discovery, upon which work was actually done, was made by Car! Lade wig, a Bend man who has spent much of his time prospecting in the adja cent country. Ladewig let number of local men of means into his secret and a group of claims was taken. It was not until several weeks after the inauguration of this secret work OiHt its nature became generally known. Then the rush started. Assays from the original group of claims, which have been christened the Golden Raes, have run from $5 to $10 a ton, free milling ore. However the rock assayed thus far has been taken entirely from the surface. Sev eral tunnels are being driven, and according to the miners working them, the appearance of the rock en countered is becoming more promis ing. Already over 50 claims have been staked. PAST WILL BE TOLD. POTATO SHOW PROPOSED.' Senator Treasure Ship. Seattle. Seven hundred thousand dollars' worth of Alaska gold was brought to Seattle by the steamship Senator. The gold was shipped from the Nome and Iditarod districts. Half of this gold will be sent direct to the smelter in San Francisco and the re mainder is consigned to Seattle banks. Harrisburg Women Will Prepare Ex hibit This Month. Harrisburg A "potato show" is being arranged by the women of the Improvement club for the final week of August. Unusual interest is already created and unheard-of delicacies are daily being concocted by local talent from the common "murphy" for dis play in connection with the show. This section of the Willamette val ley has long had the reputation of producing an excellent potato, and the product this year is exceptionally fine. I Interest in the culture of this crop has been materially increased through the praise given to the quality and yield by an expert potato-grower of Greeley, Colo., the greatest potato growing center of the UniUd States. Alta Mine Gets New Equipment. Grants Pass The owners of the Alta mine near Kerby have just re turned from Portland, where they pur chased a steam plant to operate a 40' ton Chile mill upon the millsite ad jacent to the mining property. The property is new and has one cut 150 feet above the mill where the ore is sent down by gravity. The ore shoot is about 20 feet wide. The mill car nes six rolls with a crushing capacity of 7,200 pounds. Tannery Will Be Built. Tillamook Paying $600 an acre. Peter Remer and John Ponkner, of Portland, have bought five acres of land on the Trask river, just outside the city limits, with the intention of establishing a tannery. They expect to begin construction work within two weeks, and to have their plant in operation by spring. They are buying hides in the meantime. Twenty-five men will be employed in the factory. Historical Institute to Have Noted Speakers at Astoria,! Salem -Several more speakers who will participate in the historical edu cational institute, which will be held in Astoria September 5, 6 and 7, have announced their intention of being present. George H. 1 limes, president of the Orgeon historical society, will be among the speakers. Professor F. G. Young of Eugene, secretary of the same society, will speak on "Signifi cant Oregon History for the Life of Today. Professor Joseph Schaefer. of Eugene; Frederick V. Holman, of Portland; Eva Emery Dye. Oregon City, and State Superintendent Alder man will be among the other speakers. As nearly as isissihle historical ad dresses will be given on the spot where the incidents which furnish the sub. ject matter for the addresses occurred. Superintendent Alderman is confi dent that these "on the sisit" histori cal addresses will be the cause of widespread interest throughout the Northwest and that the institute tioth along educational ami historical lines will be among the greater successes of the Astoria Centennial celebration. COOS ENLISTS MORE MEN. County's Naval Reserve to Be Trained on Cruiser Boston. Marshfield Coos county now has better representation in the Oregon naval militia than any other county in the state. With the organization of the new division at Bandon the county has three divisions in the reserve and, the Coos Bay band besides. The total number of enlisted men is about 150. Twenty-five from Marshfield and 10 from the new Bandon division have gone to bring back the cruiser Boston, which will be here August 16 to remain two -months. In that time, all the men will receive training on the ves sel. The new Bandon organization will be known as the fifth division. The commander is Dr. L. P. Sorenson, who has the rank of junior lieutenant, Dr. .Smith .1. Mann is assistant sur geon, and Karl S. Gher, ensign. Dr. r.. t.. .Straw, senior lieutenant,' of Marshfield, has command over all three divisions. Uniforms will at once be furnished the Bandon men anil a drill hall has already been provided for, For First Time in Years Cereal Is Higher Than Wheat. Stockton. Cul. - For the first time in many years barely is selling for more than wheat, and there is much excite ment along grain row in this city, the grain center of the state. The cereal hHS been advancing very rapidly of late, and on the board it has jumped up almost a dollar during the past week. The crop in this section is unusually heavy, and the cash price is high. This has caused the dealers to send agents into the country in an elfort to L'et a new hue on the yieiu an" me quality, which they thought might possibly have been over-estimated. It has been shown that it has been nianv vears since a larger and better cnl was produced. Some of the cautious buyers have dropix'd out of the market, as they fear a break almost any time. Some declare that the sudden bulge in puces is due to a siieculative demand, and there will be a reaction. Others in sist barley 'will go to $1.50 before there i any reaction. The farmers in the Meantime are making a large profit. N0YE.MBKR :) DESIGNATED AS THANKSGIVING DAY Washington, D. C- President Taft will designate Thursday, November 30, as Thanksgiving Day, despite the request of bankers that the president name Thursday, November 23. It has always been the custom to designate the last Thursday in Novem ber as Thanksgiving Day, and Mr. Taft will adhere to that custom. The bankers wanted November 23 se lected, declaring that the making of November 30 a legal holiday would seriously interfere with their work. The law requires that National hanks make their statements to tin Treasury department on the first day of every month, and a holiday falling on the last day of the month would be most inconvenient, said the hankers. There was some doubt as to what Thursday in November would tie se lected this year, as the month con tains five Thursdays. The White House has been besieged by theatrical managers and those in charge of col- ege football games to settle this doubt, so that definite arrangements can be made for the array of secial performances and sjsirts that mark the day.

At a meeting of 2,000 railroailmrt belonging to the .Midland, Great Cn. tral and Metropolitan lines it was it- I cided to call a general strike on i: the railways and tubes in the Lindui district unless grievances were rem died within a week.

Two commit tees, one to sell stock and another to take subscriptions, were appointed. Liberate Trout Fry.
