' MEN ARE TREATED FAIRLY.
Kruttschnitt Say Harriman Lines
Should Be Praised.
Omaha Julius Kruttschnitt said
when here Saturday forenoon on his
way West that the strike question
rested wholly with the employes of
the Harriman linea.
In an interview, Mr. Kruttschnitt
declared that the matter of a strike on
the Harriman system waa up to the
men and that the railroad had never
refused to confer with ita employes.
So far aa we are concerned, said
he, "we are having no trouble with
our men. We are paying the best
wages of any road in the country, and
notwithstanding that business has
been bad for months, we have been
carrying on our payrolls a large num
ber of people not needed. We have
always treated our men with fairness,
and at the present time are paying out
annually between $300,000 and $400,
000 to superannuated employes."
Mr. Kruttschnitt refused to discuss
the question of reorgnizing the feder
ated labor organization. Ue would not
express an opinion aa to whether or
not the present retrenchment move
ment on the Harriman system had
reached ita limit. It all depended
upon business, he asserted. In this
connection, Mr. Kruttschnitt declared
the Harriman lines should be praised
for deferring the cutting down of
their forces so long, rather than be
blamed for doing it now. Other roads,
he said, had been laying off men for
months.
WAR'S GLORY EXPENSIVE.
Alsace-Lorraine Comas at SI. 000 an
Acre to Germany.
Paris Thomas A. Edison, the
American inventor, sees no glory in
war, but be believes the coming of the
aeroplane haa put an end to it. "As
I look at the historical monuments of
this city," he continued, "I fail to
find any bargains among them. The
Arch of Triumph does not impress me,
for I alwaya see beside it another and
greater atch, thousands of feet high,
made of the phosphate of the bones of
victims sacrificed for Napoleon's per
sonal glory. Conquest costs ; it never
pays. For Alsace and Loraine the
Germans have paid more than $1,000
an acre, and they thought they had
gained it free; and their little march
around the Arch of Triumph waa in
the end the costliest promenade ever
made.
"But this well-assumed war lords
vocation has come to an end. The
German Emperor's spasmodic twitch-
ngs are but the death throes or the
conquest business. There are too
many newspapers and schools in tne
present day of civilization to allow of
the antiquated methods of those over
ambitious men who, hiding behind
their selfish aims, in a loud cry for the
glory of their country force ruin on
their people.

Coait Guns Hit Targets.1
Fort Stevens, Or. The 12-inch mor
tars were fired in full service target
nractice. using a 1040-pound projec
tile and firing several thousand yards
to sea at a rapidly moving target
towed by the steamer r'irnance. Out
of 10 shots fired eight were hits.
This is a phenomenal record for mor
tars, one hit out of 10 being consid
ered fair shooting, bcause of the fact
that mortars are fired several miles in
the air Bnd under most difficult condi
tions. Mortars are fired at one-minute
intervals.

Seattle United Statea District

Saturday by crowd in front of

protest against his action in issuing a

spoiled for good by the perfection of
the aeroplane. I have been told as a
fact that France was able to enroll in
one day 1,200 airmen for the aero
plane branch of the army. This
tempered in no mean way the position
taken by Emperor William in the Mor
rocco question. Think of the effect of
a fleet of 1,000 aeroplanes, and thev
can get more than 6,000 of these air
engine for the price of one dread
naught,. All the great destructive
possibilities of the. aeroplane are
dwarfed by the moral effect on popu
lations caused by the fear alone of
indiscriminate annihilation."
FIVE KILLED BY COLLAPSE
OF UMPQUA VALLEY BRIDGE
Roseburg, Or. Five men were al
most instantly killed and five others
were injured, four of them seriously,
when the big wooden bridge spanning
the Umpqua river in Coles valley, 18
milea northwest of Roseburg, col
lapsed and fell into the water, a dis
tance of about 60 feet All the killed
and injured were member of the
Douglas County bridge gang, and had
been at work repairing the ill-fated
structure for about three week.
With the south end of the bridge in
tact, the crew began removing the
false work to the opposite end of the
structure to replace some defective
eyebeams.
They had only partly completed the
task when the whole span suddenly
quivered and an instant later crashed
to the water below. The entire crew
was removing the floor planking when
the collapse came, and none were able
to escape.
The injured were cared for by
neighboring farmer and doctor were
rushed from Roseburg and Oakland in
automobiles to the scene of the disas
ter, where everything possible wa
done for the injured men. The five
bodies of those killed, were also recov
ered by farmer and taken to Rose
burg for interment. .
The bridge consisted of a single
rpan 332 feet long, and waa built in
1891. at a cost of $22,000. A steel
bridge will probably be built in ita
place.
FINDS NEW RACE.
Part Elklmo, Part Scandinavian. Yet
Know Neither One.
New York Finding of a race of
people never before included in the
books of anthropologists, race that
is Eskimo in habits and Scandinavian
in physique, by Wilhjmar Stefasson,
leader of the American Museum' sci
entific expedition, may solve two or
more historical mysteries. This
strange race, inhabiting the Arctic
region of British America, never had
seen an Indian or an Eskimo, the ex
plorer says in letter received from
him in Brooklyn.
Railroad Hospital Aided.
San Francisco Mrs. E. II. Harri
man has given $50,000 to Dr. A ins

Pacific system for the establishment
and endowment of a bacteriological
and pathological laboratory for the
benefit of the employes of the com
pany. This announcement was made
by Dr. Ainsworth, who said the labor
atory would bo in the Southern Pacific

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
GOOD OF CHILD IS AIM.
Alderman Urge Importance of Hy
giene in School Study.
Salem A shorter course in tech n I
cal grammar, complete course in
drawing, nature study, agriculture,
industrial work and music and manual
training, opening with course of
study in physiology and hygiene, in
which special emphasia ia laid on prac
tical hygiene, are some of the features
in the new course of study for the
schools which haa been prepared by
Superintendent Alderman. The man
ual of the revised course of study will
be ready for distribution about Au
gust 30. Clean finger nails, well
brushed hair, shiny shoea and clean
clothes are other recommendations.
In commenting on the new courses
the superintendent says:
"In carrying on the work outlined
in this course of study I hope the
teachers of Oregon will, first of all,
look to the health of the boys and
girls. See to this then, if there is
any time, teach the other work offered
in this course. The primary object of
the study of physiology in our sschools
sh iuld be to teach an intelligent care
of the body."
Teacher are advised to return to
the old-time recess of not less than 15
minutes during the morning session
and again in the afternoon, but it is
said that the recess will do no good
unless the teacher makes supervis
ion of the playground serious part
of the day's work.
The more simple facts of sanitation
are expected to be taught. In speak
ing of this Mr. Alderman says that it
is of more value to the boy who ex
pects to live in the country to know
that the well should be dug in a place
where it will not receive the drainage
from the barn or the closet than to
know the exact number of bones or
muscles in the body. The teacher
are also advised to teach this work by
examble as well a by direct method.
The school grounds and the outbuild
ings are to be cared for; the interior
of the buildings should be kept clean,
and, where the buildings have not
special ventilating system, every win
dow is to be provided with window
board, so that the children may have
an abundance of fresh air.
INDIAN HOPPICKERS BUSY.
Grower Near Chemawa Say Aver
age Crop Is of Fin Quality.
Chemawa Hoppicking has begun
in this locality in the Lewis Savage
yard. This yard is being picked by
the Indian pupila of the school, aa it
has been for the last 12 or 15 year.
In addition to this yard the Indian
boys and girls will pick the George
Savage yard, the McNary, the Bent
Jones and the Yerkes yards.
The demand for help in the hop
yards come from mile around, and
the schol authorities are able to sup
ply but a small proportion of those re
quested. The Indiana are very clean
picker, and the high prices this year
will require that the bop be picked
extra clean.
The girl of the school are taken to
the yards early each day in carryalls
and hayracks, chaperoned by the
teachers of the school. Their noon
luncheon is sent to them and they re
turn in the evening to the school for
late supper. The boys are sent out to
the yards in charge of an employe and
go into camp, remaining until the
yard is picked. They take along a
camping outfit, and each day meat and
bread and fresh vegetables are sent to
them.'
The hop this year are only an aver
age crop in this neighborhood. The
quality of the hops is excellent.
SCHOOL FUND LOAN OUT.
Farmer In State Quick to Borrow on
First Mortgage.
Salem Within 15 day the state
board received appplication for over
$260,000 worth of school fund loans
and as a result it has been necessary
for the board to again shut off appli
cants. This condition indicates that
there is an immense demand for
money throughout the state. All
loans from the school fund are made
on first mortgage farm lands and the
loan cannot exceed one-third of the
value of the property.
A limit of $2,500 is placed on the
loans. The board has been passing
favorably on those loans which are
for $1,000 and less, as a greater num
ber of people will be served this way
before passing to those applications
which are for larger amounts. It prob
ably will be several months again be
fore the board will announce itself as
ready to receive further applications.
Yamhill Ha Heavy Timber.
McMinnville A cruise of the tim
ber lands of Yamhill county by the
assessor's office has revealed a quarter
section of fir timber that is generally
conceded to be the peer of any other
quarter section of timber in Oregon
and Washington. This body of tim
ber lies on the north fork of the Yam
hill river and contains 94,700.000 feet
of saw timber, valued in the county
assessment at 60 cents per thousand,
which total $51,400.

SOIL EXPERT IS HERE.
H. W. Grunsky. of Medford, to In
spect Oregon Farm.
Medford The United States de
partment of Agriculture ha recently
a)igned ore of its experts in Irriga
tion, H. W. Grunsky, of this city, to
conduct aerie of investigation in
one or more of the many promising
agricultural districts east of the Cas
cade range.
The irrigation investigation office
has gradually extended its field of
operations frjm small beginnings, 15
or 20 years ago, until now it has
corps of trained engineers invading
each of the states west of the Missis
sippi river as well as many of those
east.
Of all the "office and branches of
the department of agriculture there is
perhaps none more directly helpful
to the condition of the individual
farmers and the districts in which it
operates than this office.
Mr. Grunsky has opened an office at
530 Beck building, Portland, and is
anxious to get in touch with all in
terested farmers.
"My first duty," said Mr. Grunsky,
"will be to decide just where to oper
ate, and what lines of investigation
will be most helpful. We do not care
to throw ourselves into the arms of
disinterested parties, but will go
where, other things being equal, we
receive the best welcome. The funds
at our disposal are limited and we need
the co-operation of wide-awake farm
ers who are willing to meet a half
way in experimentation. Some of the
most probable lines of inquiry open
are: The amount of water to be ap
plied for the best economic returns;
time and number of applications;
effect of water on soils and effect of
irrigation on different crops with re
spect to a particular locality."
SHIPPERS GET REQUEST.
Northwest Fruitmen Granted "Stor
age in Transit" Rata.
Portland Fruit shippers in the
Northwest were granted the long-prayed-for
"storage in transit" rate
by the varioua railroads operating out
of this territory.
This information was received in
Portland by telegram sent by Frank
W. Robinson'general freight agent
of the Harriman lines, to Harvey E.
Lounsberry, assistant general freight
agent. All other road have advised
their local agents of the arrangement.
In effect the new rate will be 10
cents per hundred pounds on apples
sent from anywhere in the Northwest
to any Eastern destination, in addi
tion to the regular published freight
rates. Storage will be permitted at
any main line point subject to local
conditions, such as switching charge
and warehouse rates.
This arrangement will give the
Northwest dealers advantage of the
Eastern market as soon as possible
after favorable prices are quoted.
A. shipper will be able to bill hi
fruit through to his Eastern market
and store it at any convenient point.
When the market i aufficiently at
tractive he will be able to continue
the movement to destination.
This additional charge of 10 cents
will enable the shipper to take advan
tage of the through rate. Otherwise,
if he desired to store his fruit so aa to
be near the market he would be re
quired to pay the combination of local
rates.
APPLE CROP TO BE LIGHT.
Hood River Growers Expect Only
Half ot Last Year.
Hood River "If the demand for
small-sized apples, which prevailed
throughout the markets last season,
continues this year," said Charles R.
Castner, county fruit inspector,
"Hood River growers will find a ready
market for their products. Because
of the desire of the consumer to be
able to purchase small-sized fruit last
year, the local orchardists have not
done as much thinning this year as
last."
W. K. Newell, president of the
state board of horticulture, was in
this city and met with the different
fruit men, marketers and growers.
Estimates of the valley's product this
season place the crop at between 60
and 60 per cent of last year's. The
Apple Growers' union is distributing
among the growers estimate blanks.
These probably will be in before the
middle of September, and then it will
be possiblle to make definite estimates.
Citizens Improve Own Harbor.
Tillamook Without government
aid, and relying solely on their own
resources, residents of Nehalem have
undertaken the construction of a jetty
at the mouth of the Nehalem river,
which will give them excellent harbor
facilities. At a cost of $50,000, a
jetty from the south shore of the Ne
halem, extending 2,000 feet seaward,
with a solid wall of rock rising from
10 to 30 feet above the river bottom,
will be built.
Canal May Be Rushed.
Oregon City President Hedges, of
the Oregon City commercial club, has
received telegram from Representa
tive Hawley giving the information
that no further congressional action
was necessary in connection with the
construction of the canal on the east
side of the Willsmette river at the
falls. Mr. Hawley is of the opinioa
that the -work will be started soon.
