Writing from Fort Mc- herson, Ihiwling says : "There have een but lew white men over these arctic wilds, and those who have made the trip have told so little that the lay reader has not even the remotest idea of what it all means. From the be ginning at Athabasca Landing, Al berta, Canada, the trip is full of thrilling experiences, which cannot be told in a letter of ordinary length. I have arrunged to pass several years In pros)erting, but if all goes well I shall make the trip to Spokane with my dogs and sled during the winter." ROYAL TROOPS ROUTED. Chinese Rebels Ambush Detachment of Csvalry. Chung Kian Late advices from Tsu Chau say that a detachment of cavalry numbering 100 which had left Cheng tu and had proceeded as fsr as the l.ang Tcheni hills, were ambushed by th revolutionists and routed. The survivors returned to Cheng-tu. The royal troops reoccupied Ken chau on Septemtier 14. It is believed the viceroy at Cheng tu has arranged for an ultimate retreat to the yamen, which has been fortitled. The build ings surrounding the yamen have been demolished. The situation in the Sze Chuen capital is considered more hope ful. Etna Too Hot to Climb. Catania, Sicily An attempt to as cend Mount Etna was madj Sunday, but it was Impossible to get nearer than 60 feet from one of the craters, owing to the intense hent and thick smoke In which so one could live. The eruption of lava continues. Near the source the river of lava flows swiftly, outdistancing men who ran along its edge. Great masses of rock wrenched from the crater's edge float and roll down the sope, slowly lique fying. The constant cannonading of the volcano is fairly deafening. Gowns Ordered Abroad. New York Hopes of a speedy set tlement of the women's tailor strike were abandoned Monday following a fruitless conference of union repre sentatives and employers. Tho em ployers declared the union had broken promises to arbitrate, and demanded concessions the employers could not grant. Proprietors of leading shops said the strike has already resulted in many orders for gowns being sent abroad to Paris, Indon nnd Vienna. Ksrmit Donates Goats. Washington, D.

Fruit Not In Danger From California Competition. Forest Grove H. C. Atwell, of Forest Grove, president of the State Horticultural society, has just re turned from a trip to California, .! . .... wnere ne went to judge the fruit at the second annual Gravenstein Apple show, held at Sevastopol, in Sonoma county, where the Gravenstein apple is extensively raised. Several car loads of apples were exhibited and more than $2,000 disbursed in prem iums. "Oregon apple growers have noth ing to fear from competition of Cali fornia apples," said Mr. Atwell. Aside from two or three mountain valleys of very limited extent, the Pa- jaro valley produces virtually all the winter apples grown in that state. "The apple trade there is entirely in the hands of Slavonians. It is said that only one American has ever been able to break into it. These foreign dealers buy the crop on the trees, pick and pack it themselves and cater, for the most part, to the cheaper trade. Such methods are not conducive to careful packing or high pricea. This i'ajaro valley is the only California district shipping winter apples beyond that state. "As a past and prospective pnine- grower, I was encouraged at being as sured by leading California horticul turists that successive years of low prices and the growing popularity of the Oregon prune in Kastern markets, has led to the uprooting and neglect of large areas of California prune or chards, so that the production is now not much more than half what it was ten years ago." Mr. Atwell declares that, aside from apples, prunes, pears and logan berries will be the horticultural lead ers of the Willamette valley, since the and in this locality is admirably adapted for these fruits. He urges that more scientific methods be em ployed, both in the raising and in the packing and shipping. RAIN AID TO FRUIT. B'g Hood 'River Orchsrc'ist Sees Crop Next Year. Hood River "The heavy rain of the past week will go far toward in suring a good crop of apples for the Hood River valley next year," says C. Bone, one of the valley's pioneer orchardista. "It waa the heaviest early rainfall that I have ever seen for this section of the state or Eastern Oregon. In 1893, we had a similar rain, but the precipitation then was not so great. At that time the grain farmers of Eastern, Oregon handled their crops rather lazily and when the heavy lownpour came, they were all caught. Cxcept what was threshed, the whole , - - i 1 : .1. crop was entirely ruineu, aim who few exceptions every merchant Irom ortland to Spokane went broke. 1 he rain taught the wheat farmers a les son, and since then they have hastened the harvesting of the crop. For the past decade the fall season as Brown more erratic, i minK mai the clearing of the timber of the Hood River valley has had an effect toward ec re as in a the summer rains. Over n Central Oregon, however, the culti- ation of the soil has increased the summer precipitation. "The soaking showers of Isst week will strengthen the fruit spurs. It will take the place of September irri gation and will be far more valuable. With a few more showers and sun shine and intermingling frosts to color the fruit the present year's crop hould mature in excellent condition. HOP ANALYSIS PLANNED, Oregon Agricultural College Students to Study Samples. Corvallis Professor H. V. Tartar, the chemistry department at the Oregon Agricultural college, is now in the hop districts, where he will collect samples of hops to be used during the coming winter by the students in chemistry in making analysis. Pro fessor Tartar's investigations during the past year have Bhown that the chemical qualities of the Pacific Coast hops, especially in the amount of bit ter they contain, are equal to any grown in the world. He .jends to put the judging of hops for commer cial purposes on a scientific basis. SiusHiw Country Worries Over Roads Florence Speculation is rife here as to which or how many railroads are to gain an entrance to the Siuslaw country. Right of way has been bought in tho vicinity of Mapleton by a tepresentative of the Hill lines, and several ranches In the vicinity of Woahink lake have been sold to par ties thought to be acting as agents for LANE CROPS IN GOOD SHAPE. Hops and Prunes Not Da- cad, So Growers Report. - Eugene In spite of the recent un precedented hail storm and the unus ually heavy rain of the, last ten days, uane county s nop and prune crops have not suffered disastrous damage. In many of the hop yards the storm blew down the poles and vines, but by quick picking the crop can be saved. The hail apparently shattered very few hops from the vines, more dam age resulting from the blowing down of the poles. The chief difficulty confronting the hopmen is to keep the pickers in the yards. Large numbers of them are breaking their camps and leaving for their homes because of the extremely disagreeable weather. Growers will probably have to offer bonuses to the pickers, as under the weather condi tions rapid picking is imperative. The amount of damage done in dif ferent yards varies. At the old Neis yard just above Springfield, the un picked crop is virtually ruined. At the Campbell & Walker yard, between Eugene and Springfield, the damage was heavy, the vines being blown down and badly damaged. At the Seavy yard on the McKenzie, the lar gest in the county, the damage was slight. Seventy acres of vines fell to the ground when the rain first began, but most of the hops were saved. The Bushnell yard, just north of town, has suffered little damage as yet, and the Thornsbury yard on Patterson island is only slightly injured. Prunes and peaches have so far been little damaged, owing largely to the fact that the season is very late and the crop has ripened slowly. BENTON COUNTY WINS. Gets Prize for Best County Exhibit for Fourth Time. Salem Benton county, for the fourth time in succession, walked off with the capital prize of $300 for the? best county exhibit at the State fair. The display was collected and arrang ed by W. F. Groves, and the exhibit was financed by the Corvallis Com mercial club. The other winners in the order of award were: Clackamas, $250; Polk, $200; Columba, $150; Clatsop, $100, and Coos, $100. The display of the winning county is largely of fruits and vegetables. Mr. Groves says that in considerable degree the award was the result of the great care taken in arranging the fruits and vegetables so that the col ors harmonized, making it easy for the judges to pick out their good points. I. L. Smith, of Spokane, judged the exhibits. MAY TALK TO I.OOO.OOO. to Get Oregon Will Have Chance Settlers From East. Salem Oregon is to have an oppor tunity tojitalk to at least 1,000,000 persons who desire to settle in the West, It is up to Oregon to prepare the prettiest speech possible and il lustrate it with the pictures which tell more plainly than words, the de lightful character of the climate, the wonderful brotherhood existing within the borders of the state, and the lux uriant crops which are to be gath ered from a minimum of work from horticultural land which may be pur chased new as cheap as agricultural land. This was the basis of a special mes sage conveyed to the public at the semi-centennial of the Oregon State Fair by William McMurray, general passenger agent of, the Harriman lines in Oregon. . LOSS AT LEBANON IS $10,000. Crops Injured, Garden Wasted, Windows Broken By Hail. Lebanon Lebanon and vicinity were visited by the worst hail storm ever seen here. The damage done in this city by the wind and hail will amount to at least $10,000. Hardly a house in town escaped without broken windows, and there are ten broken panes in the home of Mayor Reeves alone. Melons and tomatoes were just be ginning to come Into the market, and all those that were in the line of the storm were destroyed. The telephone lines are so badly crippled that it is hard to tell the extent of the damage in the country. Prune Crop Not Injured. Albany Prospects are good for an average prune crop in this part or the state. The prunes have suffered slightly from the recent rains, but unless heavy rains continue the loss will not be great. Asido from the damage from the rain the hop crop in the few yards in this part of the state is about 25 per cent short. What hops have been picked are said to be WILEY FULLY EXONERATED. President Expresses Sympathy for Pure Food Expert. Washington, D. C President Taft has reversed the recommendation of the personnel of the board of the de partment of agriculture, with its in dorsement by Attorney-General Wick ersham with reference to the case of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry and the best known food expert in the country. The attorney general bad advised "condign puniahment" of Wiley. President Taft softens the reversal of his adviser's finding by saying that if he had bad the full record before him he probably would have held dfferent- iy. Next to the vindication of Wiley it self, Washington is most interested in the paragraph of the president's letter in which he says that "the broader is sues raised by. the investigation, which have a much weightier relation than this one to the eeneral efficiency of the department, may require mu u more radical action than the question I have considered and decided." This is taken to presage a "shake-up" in the department. CRACKSMEN GET $315,000 FROM BANK OF MONTREAL AUTO PLUNGES THROUGH CROWD Nine Dead and Fourteen Badly Injured. Racing Machine Bursts Tiro and Leaves Track Presidenf Taft T ' Had Just Left Scan. New Westminster, B. C What is believed to be the largest cash bank robbery recorded in police annals of the world occurred in this city at an early hour Saturdry morning, when skilled yeggmen carried away loot to taling $315,000 from the branch of the Bank of Montreal, making their es cape in an automobile. Though the safe was blown, no ex plosion was heard in the early morning stillness, owing to the fact that the robbers had carefully . and cleverly planned their work by muffling the ni-tro-glycerine and safe door in the bed- clothing belonging to the bank's night watchman, who had the day before started on his annual vacation and for some reason or other no one was in the bank at the time the robbery oc curred. It was close to 4 o'clock when the Chinese janitor of the bank, who has been in the service of the institution for the past 10 years, made his usual entrance by the front door, prepara tory to cleaning up the office, and the robbery bad been completed and the robbers made their escape before that time. WEALTH FOR POTATO MEN. Half Japanese Grower Will Have Million Prafit. Stockton, Cal. Those who have been keeping a close watch upon the potato market and the acreage planted in San Joaquin county declare that George JShima, the Japanese potato king, will clear about $500,000 this season, even if tubers sell part of the time for less than $1. At present they are selling for $1.15 to $1.25, and they have ranged as high as $2.65. The Idaho crop will not be ready to ship for two weeks yet and the Southern and Middle states trade ill be supplied exclusively by San Joaquin county firms. The estimated acreage planted in potatoes in the San Joaquin delta section this year is 40.000. Some of the early potatoes were frosted and two or three crops were damaged. No break in the prices for weeks to come is expected. There are many other large growers in addition to Shima who will make fortunes from their potatoes, as they can be grown at a profit at 80 cents a sack. The commission men and shippers are sending out from 15 to 40 carloads daily, and in some instances as high as 60 cars have been moved from this section in a day. Acquitted Man Guilty. Seattle, Wash. After the jury in the grand larceny case of the state against John Faletti had brought in a verdict of not guilty in Judge Gay's branch of the Superior court, the court in astonishment told the jury that the verdict was a miscarriage of justice and that the man was plainly guilty. Then the prisoner, who had fought the case desperately, rose to his feet and assured the jury that the judge was right, "I appropriated the $150," he said. "I needed it and so retained it." railroad companies. The Southern all right, but the rain may seriously Pacific has build here. announced that it will Extension Work Begins. Albany Actual work on the grad ing of the Oregon Electric has begun in Linn county. A crew of 65 teams and 125 men has gone to work just south of the Santiam river. The con tractors in charge of the work say that the crew will be Increased to 100 teams and about 200 men as soon as possible. damage those yet in the yards. Dead Grouse Penalty Big. Pendleton The sum of $87.60 is the price George Mottett, a prominent Walla Walla resident, was compelled to pay for the privilege of killing a grouse in Umatilla county, Oregon, before the season opened. A few minutes before Tom Vaughan, a well known Umatilla Indian, paid $78.80 for the privilege of killing a deer be fore the season opened. Arsenal Reported Taken. Washington, D. C State depart ment CBble advices from Charge d'Affaires Williams at Pekin say that the government troops are confronted not by an unorganized mob of civil- ans, but by trained soldiers, who hold the approaches to Cheng-tu, and Mr. Williams believes, have possession of the arsenal and magazine at the city's south gate. The cable messages re ported fighting at Kiating, 200 miles from Cheng-tu. Maine Now Appear "Dry." Portland, Me. Unofficial returns of Monday's election compiled here indi cate a majority of 361 in favor of re tention of the prohibition clause in the constitution, with seven towns still in dispute. The vote reported from these towns, the correctness of which the clerks have affirmed, is sufficient to overthrow the majority of 134 in favor of repeal as shown by the fig ures of the secretary of state. Man, 96. Walks to Texas. Stillwater, Okla. Walking from Pocatello, Idaho, to Austin, Texas, to see his three children before he dies, Marcus GofF, 96 years old, arrived here Saturday. He is a veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, and took part in a number of campaigns against Western Indians. Syracuse, N. Y. Nine persons were killed and 14 injured, some of them seriously, as a result of an accident in the closing miles of a 150-mile race at the State 'Fair track here when a Knox racing car, driven by Lee Old field leaped from the track, crashed through the fences surrounding it, and plunged into the throng that lined the side of the speedway. Six of the nine persons were killed outright, and three were so badly in jured that they died on the way to the hospital. The injured include Lee 'Oldfield, driver of the car, and one woman. It is believed that several of the injured cannot live. The accident came as the fatal ' termination of a day that undoubtedly was the biggest the State Fair has ever known in point of attendance and attractions. The honored guest of the day waa President .Taft. It was but a abort time after he had left the grounds that the tragedy occurred. JuBt be fore be departed. President Taft took a short ride in an automobile on the track, which was wet to keep the dust from the president and his party. It is believed that the wet track was re sponsible for the accident. Several of the drivers refused to start in the race until the track had dried off somewhat. GIANT BUBBLE OF LAVA. Incandescence Adds to Wonder of Hawaiian Scene. Los Angeles Mail advices from Honolulu tell of the most amazing phenomenon ever observed within the crater of a volcano by a white man. It was no less than a tremendous bub ble of lava, inflated by gas from the very center of the earth, which sup ported an island as it floated across a lake of fiery liquid. - Frank A. Perret, the scientist who observed it, esti mated that it covered an area of 3.000 square feet, and he was fortunate enough to secure a few photographs, although conditions were far from favorable for picture-taking. "The bubble was a huge, sausage shaped affair, inflated with volcanic gas and composed of lava glass," says the scientist in his report. "A lava fountain, boiling continuously under the eastern end, gave the appearance of a screw propeller and the amazing contrivance seemed to be navigating the lake like a great whale-back steamer. "There was an island of black crust, which, when it began to sink, evolved a great quantity of gas, which blew the bubble of lava glass and this in turn sustained the island and prevent ed it from sinking. It made several tours of the lake before it disappeared from sight at last." All this was ob served in the volcano Halemaumau, and Perret and two Japanese assist ants were the only ones who ssw it. They believe it may never be given to man to witness such a sight again. CHINOOK JARGON ASKS TAFT. President to Ba Guest of Seattle Press Club on Visit. Seattle, Wash. "Copa Tyee Taft" was the unusual address on a docu ment mailed here 10 days ago. It was the invitation of the Seattle Press club, written in Chinook jargon to President Taft that he become the guest of the club during his visit here. "For Chief Taft" is the translation. On that slender address the document was taken in charge by Postmaster George F. Russell and was delivered promptly at Beverly, Mass. The president has accepted the in vitation, which waa handsomely en grossed. It follows: "Copa Tyee copa nesika illahee, Se attle tsum tillicums copa klaska tyees, delate ticke mika chaco copa nesika illahee, tenas lale mika mitlite yakwa. "Conoway copa Boston illahee mika nanetch tillicums klaxta ticke mash copa mika kloshe tumtum pe nesika wawa delate halo mika iskum conoway elip hiyu khoma." Hillman Escapes Jail. Seattle C. D. Hillman, the real estate dealer convicted of using the mails to defraud, who ia at liberty pending the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals, on $200,000 bail, narrowly escaped being remanded to jail Saturday. Following a dispute with C. N. Gill, a real estate dealer of Tacoma, who, with his wife, is on Hillman'a bond for $25,000, a deputy United States marshal was sent for and Gill announced his intention of surrendering Hillman to the court for safe-keeping. Any Woman la Too Good, New York "Most any woman a man happens to meet is too good for him," was the reply of Mayor Gaynor to a letter from a resident of Arkan sas City, Kan., who asked the mayor to find him a wife. "Do you not know the proverb that he who goes far away from home for a wife is apt to be fooled? And then, again, how could I recommend any good girl to you? You may not be as attractive as you think you are."
