Qanaral Strikaa Called and Nation Is Under Martial Law. Madrid Spain is face to face with crisis equal to that following the riots in IUrc.-l.ma in 1909. The agi tation and the power of the agitatora on the maaaea have Increased in pro- portion to the rigor of the repreaaive measures undertaken by the government. What, at ita origin, was purely a lubor movement, now has developed nto a revolutionary conflict, a com mune having actually be n proclaimed at two towns near Valencia and the authorities driven out. The afliliated trade unions have decided to call a general atrike all over Spain, and the government has decided upon the drastic step of "sus pending the constitutional guarantee" throughout the country. I his virtu ally mean martial law. . Meetings have been forbidden. The military authorities, it is said olli cially, will not assume control except in extreme cases. At Hilboa troops fired on crowd that was endeavoring to free prison ers, including strike leaders, who were living taken through the streets. Twenty-six persons were wounded. The situation is grave. King Alfonso has signed a decree suspending the constitutional guaran tee throughout Spain. This act, which had bwn under consideration for aome days, was taken to give the government power to deal sharply and promptly with the revolutionary agi tation now fermenting in many parts of Spain, especially in the citiea and industrial districts, where republican and revolutionary plans are being furthered under cover of workingmen'a atrikea. The most aerious situation ia at Valencia, w here general atrike waa declared. The city waa at once placed under martial law, and though there waa more or less rioting throughout the day, the authorities had matters pretty well in hand until after dark, when the disturber vented their fury in an attack on the officials in the adjacent township of Cullera. The rioter murdered Judge and wounded other olflciala of the court which hail been engaged in the trial of those arrested earlier in the day. The mob was finally dispersed by guards fmm the custom house. Oila Monster Bite Man. Ii Angeles Prompt treatment with a vacuum pump saved the life of Mathias K. Kigenherr, a miner from Arixona. who was bitten by a Gila monster while he was exhibiting the animal on the atreet here. He had the monster secured in a box. He met some friends ami tried to ojien the box to show the creature, when it fastened its teeth in his arm. Eigenherr was rushed to the receiving nospnai. wnere the surgeons succeeded in extracting the poison from the wounus. monster was shot by policeman DESTROYED FROM OUTSIDE. Ara The Aviator Fall to Death. Powitt, la. John A. Rosenbaum, of Chicago, waa killed here when his aeroplane fell from height of 60 feet. He had been In the air only 20 minute when he lost control of the machine. Roaebaum waa making a trial flight when he met death. Other aviators previously had failed to make successful flight in the aame machine and Rosenbaunr declared he would prove that the machine would fly. He had just tarted to descend. Et.-a' tava Bar People. Catania. Italy The eruption of Mount Etna again waa renewed Wed nesday. Shot, from gun of people who have been .hut off by the lava were heard, but the people could not bo rescued. Ruin. of Battleship Main Cleared of Slime. Havana The Maine was destroyed by an external explosion. There no longer remains any doubt aa to the manner in which the United States battleship was sunk in this harbor on the night of February 15, 1898. The cofferdam about the wreck has been pumped out and. the mud cleared away to a greater extent than ever before. The clearing away of wreck age reveala the double bottom of the ship with part of the keel standing in a perpendicular position 28 feet higher than the natural position. This perfectly confirm the report and testimony which Ensign Powel son gave before an investigating board after the disaster and which waa based upon reports made to him by diver just after the explosion. It is indicated by engineers here that such a tearing of the ship's bot tom could not have been produced by an interior explosion. It ia further said that no regulation military mine could have wrought such terrific havoc. It must have been a huge mine, as Captain Sigsbee and others suggested at the time; perhaps a sug ar mill boiler or large cask loaded with explosives. 500 SAILORS PERISH WHEN FRENCH WARSHIP BLOWS UP Marseilles, France Fire broke out in the ammunition hold of the French battleship Liberie and the vessel blew up and sank 19 minutes later. Nearly 600 of the crew are dead.' The bat tleship was built about five year, ago and wa. a lister ship of the Verite, which met with misfortune at the maneuvera a few days ago, going on the rock and suffering considerable damage before being pulled otT. TAFT BUSY IN ST. LOUIS. In- Urge. Power of Impeachment taad of Recall far Judge. St. I.oui During a moderately busy day here Saturday, President Taft made aix speeches, took a forty mile automobile ride, opened the local football season by tossing the pigskin onto the gridiron at St. Louis Univer sity, laid the cornerstone of new Y. W. C. A. building, sat through nine innings of exciting baseball between the St. Louis and Philadelphia Na tional League team, visited the Ma sonic Club to be made life member of that organization and, after ad dressing a throng in the Coliseum in the evening had nothing to do but travel all night in order to be in the insurgent state of Kansas on Sunday. On the eve of entering thia reputed hostile territory. President Taft brought forward the suggestion of a wider power of impeachment a sub stitute for the more radical proposal of a judiciary recall. Chess Poison. Child. Portland One wee alice of cheese nearly caused the death of Florence George, aged three, late Saturday night, and like amount of the aame food brought hour, of agony to her four brothers, Theodore, even ; Roy, 10; Willim, 13; Adam. 16. The physician wa called at 11 o'clock and it waa not until daylight that he con siderd the little one out of danger. The illness waa due to limburger. It resulted in ptomaine poisoning. 16,000 Socialist. Protest. Pari. A mass meeting of Socialists and Laborite to protest against war with Germany brought out 15,000 per sons here. DUE TO PATRIOTISM. Canada'. Vote Against Reciprocity Mean. Love of Country. Montreal, Canada That popular post-election puzzle, "How did it hap pen?" is fascinating all Canada. "Reciprocity was repudiated," says an evening paper, In three-inch type, with a cartoon below ahowing an arch angel chaining "The Destroyer" reciprocity with a chain of vote. " Yesterday's victory was not a tri umph for any political party." an ed itorial declares. "It was won by I patriotic coalition of Conservatives and Liberals determined that the dream of a great imperishable Canada should not be despoiled. Another, displaying the severed heads from the eight defeated Laurier ministers, insists that the time had come for a change in government, lest the controlling party become en trenched in graft. Fear of annexation, disagreement with the government' naval and transportation policy and anxiety lest the principle of national principle be abandoned, were other causes assigned for the surprising change which gives the Rorden followers a big lead in the new house. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ' PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE COLONIST INFLUX JUMPS. Harriman Line. Report Passenger Busina. Double That in 1910. San Francisco The first aix days, figure on the annual colonBt business over the Harriman lines, announced by E. E. Wade, chief clerk of the pas senger department of the Southern Pacific, show an astonishing increase in this year businesa. Hy way of Portland the business jumped irom 14 passengers last year to 198 this year; by Los Angeles, 43 to 109; by El Paso, from 489 to 1,341, while the Ogden route shows total for the six day of 1911, I against 1,275 last year. The total business for the six day shows an increase of from 1,821 for the first week of the season of 1910 to 8,692 for the same period this year. The business is heavily on the increase and at the present rate will surpass that of 1910 by more than two to one. AVIATOR MEETS JEERS. Make Flight Against Burn, in Air. Judgment; Dayton, Ohio Forced into the air by the jeers of thousanda who called him a coward, Frank H. Miller, 23 years old, a loledo, Ohio, aviator, shot into the sky at twilight and when 200 feet up was burned to death at she Miami county fair at Troy, near here. Miller circled the fair ground race track and waa just starting on a spiral glide into a neighboring corn field, when something went wrong. The craft dropped like shot for 60 feet. A tiny blue flame was emitting from the engine, and in an instant more the gasoline tank exploded. The machine wa wrecked, debris was hurled hundreda of feet in all direc tions. What remained of the aero plane and its driver was burned al most to a crisp aa they dropped rapid ly to earth. ROBBERS GET STRONG-BOX. Alaska Miner. Lose Year'. Clean-up in Snort Order. Kaltag, Alaska Masked men held up a car on the Iditarod Flat tramway one and a half miles from Flat City and stole a strong box containing $35,000 in gold dust, the property of three miners named Friend, Frank Law son and Bennett James. Friend was in charge. All the circumatances show that the robbery waa carefully planned. The robbery waa committed at the head of Cottonwood creek on the line of the Iditarod Tramway, the single transportation facility that connects Iditarod, the steamboat landing for thia station, with Flat City, which is seven miles distant. The tram serv ice i supplied by small cars, the mo tive power of which ia two mule, driven tandem, to each car. Thumb Lost; Train Saved San Bernardino, Cal. N. R. Gra ham, a Santa Fe railroad brakeman, cut off his own thumb to save a train from an open awitch at this place. Graham saw that the switch had been thrown the wrong way for his train, and when the locomotive reached a point within a short distance of the frog, he grasped the lever and threw his weight upon it. One of his thumbs was caught in the mechanism, but Graham still bore down. He turned the switch, and averted wreck, but left tho thumb crushed under the lever. Tornado Hit. Vatuviu.. Naples, Italy A hurricane of great violence, accompanied by a deluge of rain, swept the Vesuvian region caus ing a heavy loss of life and damage to property. It ia estimated that 60 persons were killed. Numerous boats in the bay of Naples are missing, and are believed to have been sunk. It is impossible to estimate the total dam age as the telegraph and telephone wire are leveled and road blocked In all di-ections. Dreadnaught Take. Water. Brest, France The Jean Bart, the new French warship of the "auper dreadnaught" class, was launched here. She haa a displacement of 23. 467 ton and with engine of 28,000 horsepower is expected to show speed of 20 knots an hour. Her arm ament consists of 12 12-inch gun in six turrets, and 24 6.6-inch gun. When ready for sea, the vessel will have cost $12,400,000. LOSS IN YAMHILL IS HEAVY. Prunes, Hop. and Grain Ruined by Continued Rain. Newberg While the apple and pear crops of thi section (have not been in jured to any extent, scores of acre of prune are molding, and it is esti mated that not more than ball a crop will be harvested. Hops have suffered severely and the early jubilation of growers over good prices has in many instances been turned into disappointment over the partial or total losa of their fields. In the vicinity of Chehalem Center and in the direction of Lafayette many yards where picking wa begun about September 1, have been aban doned. North of Newberg and around Middle ton and Sherwood many of the yards are so moldy that little or no picking will be dor. In grain the most general loss will be felt. Thousands of tons of oats, vetch and wheat, soaked by the con tinual rain, are rotting in sacka or in the shock. It is estimated that in the valley not more than one-third of the grain has been threshed, while on Chehalem mountain and to the north in the direction ol iualatin scarcely a wheel has been turned ir the harvest fields. After the first downpour of ten day ago the sun came out bright and many farmer uncovered their stacks, only to be dismayed by a soak ing rain within another few hours The result ia that many stacks which were at first only partially damaged became wholly exposed to the ele ments and are now total losses. Local grain dealers say that while Newberg storehouses are in ordinary falls filled to their capacity with oats and wheat, there will be more than room to spare thia year. BEE MEN WANT INSPECTION. UMATILLA AUTOS ARE MANY Motor. Popular With Farmer, o County 400 in U.e. Pendleton Though commonly termed a sparsely settled section it is doubtful if any other county in the state can point to so great and rapid development of the automobile indus try as Umatilla. Although the farm ers were slow to take up automobiles at first, the machine, have rapidly sprung into favor on the farm in the last two year and at present by far the greatest number of owners are growers of grain. It is estimated that more than 400 machines are now owned in a county the largest town of which boasts a population of a little more than 5,000. It ia also especially true of farmer autoists as a class that the larger cars are the most popular. The best seems to be none too good for the growers of grain in this section or the state. Their machinery, their horses, and every part of their farm equipment. is the best that money can buy. Thus it happens that when tiller of the soil comes to purchase a car he does not stop at the price, but picks out the car that seems to him to be the best fitted for his purpose. The one thing that he is particular about is to get the power necessary to take him up the hills and over the roads. The development of automobiling has also resulted in the development of better roads. A Good Roads asso ciation, composed almost exclusively of automobile owners, waa organized two year ago and ha done much to obtain improvement of the county's highways. Macadam roads have been constructed where this waa possblie. straw has been used to great advant age in summer, permanent bridges have been built and step have been taken to make all future road im provement permanent instead of temporary. GOLD HILL PEACHES HUGE. Fruit From Sam's Valley Orchards Weigh Three-Quarter, of Pound. Gold Hill Peache. weighing three- quarter, of pound each have been shown in the local market lately. They come from Sam 'a valley orchards, and the varieties are Muirs and Chairs Choice. Shipments to the Portland markets have already begun. The Miller orchard of Sam . valley will ship its entire crop of 1,000 boxes to the Oregon metropolis. The price in the local market for the best peach es has been a high as 5 cents a pound. Grape, from local vineyards have just, made their appearance here. While there will not be more than half a crop, the quality is high. O. A. C. Boy In British Columbia Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- vallia C. C. Clark, Portland, grad uate of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege in '70, ia superintendent of the large holding of the British Columbia Land & Water company, Kamloops, B. C, 350 acres of which is planted to fruit. After taking graduate work at the college Mr. Clark became horti culturist for the department of agri culturae, British Columbia, a position which he resigned to go to Kamloops. Orchard Land Bring. SIS. OOO. Portland W. A. Bower, and asso ciates, of Elwood, Ind., have pur chased the 100-acre farm of Lorenzo Sleepy, near Talent, in Jackson coun ty, for $15,000. The tract is located in a well known fruit district. It is the intention of the new owner to de velop the land and plant it to com mercial orchard. Hop. Nearly All Picked, Brooks Hop are nearly all picked injthi section, but few yard are till unpicked, and mold ha. appeared. Warm Discussion of Governor's Veto at Annual Meeting at Salem, Salem The annual meeting of the State Beekeeper' association on the fair ground here waa marked by lively discussion of the governor' veto of the proposed bill for bee in spection. All former officers were re elected, but the secretary treasurer having resigned, H. F. Wilson, in charge of the apiary at the Oregon Agricultural college, waa elected to fill the vacancy. Plan were dis cussed for securing space and pre miums lor a bee exhibit at the next state fair. The association number feel that they are as much a part of the agri cultural industry of Oregon as are a number of other branches, and de serve protection. said Mr. Wilson. referring to the discussion of the in spection measure. "A new bill will be prepared and presented to the next session of the legislature, and it is hoped that all the beekeeper of the state will work for its passage. "Many people throughout the Unit ed States make beekeeping their sole business. Thousanda of hives are also distributed among orcharaists and farmer. Oregon produce but a small part of what can be secured from the right kind of beekeeping, and is one of the few state of the Union which has no inspection law. Under existing condition, it is almost impossible to keep out diseases and other destructive pests. "Mr. L. C. Fones, of Portland, suc ceeded in securing 249 pounds of sec tion honey from single colony of bees during the past season. Thou sands of colonies producing half that much contribute materially to the wealth of the state. To one suited for the work there ia no more enjoy able occupation." GERMANY AFTER APPLES. Hamburg Firm Send. Buyer Her to Get Oregon Fruit. Portland Oregon apple, are in such demand in Germany that W. Knudel, representing a firm of exporters of Hamburg, haa arrived in Portland for the purpose of purchasing select stock from Hood River and other districts. "We never have been able to get enough Hood River apples," said Mr. Knudel. "By coming right on to the field I hope to obtain at least all that the market here will offer. However, the demand for Hood River Spitzen bergs and Wenatchee Winesaps is so great that I don't expect to get all I could dispose of. In Germany we consider the Ore gon apples the finest that can be grown. They are served in the lead ing hotel and in the best cafes and are in constant demand in fashionable homes. The people are willing to pay a higher price for apples grown in thia state than for those of any other part of the world. There will always be a market for Oregon stock in Germany and little danger of an excessive supply." The firm represented by Mr. Knu del imports fruits from various coun tries for sale to high-class hotels, res taurants, cafes and dealer who cater to the aristocracy. This is the first time that they have entered the local market on such an extensive scale. Shipping Day Named. Salem Saturday haa been designa ted by the Railroad commission as the day upon which stock in less than 10 carload lots can be transported on the lines of the O.-W. R. & N. The law in relation to the subject waa passed by the last legislature and provides that railroad companies may transport stock in excess of 10 carload lots any day in the week. It further provides that during but two days of the week can stock be transported in less than 10 carload lota and gives the railroad company the right to have one of the day and the commission the other. The company has named Tuesday as the other day. Hatchery Man Promoted. Astoria Irwin H. Wilson, superin tendent of the Klatskanie River sal mon hatchery, has been promoted to the position of superintendent of trout hatcheries in the state fisheries de partment. His successor at the local hatchery haa not been announced. Mr. Wilson's principal duties in his new position are understood to be the se lection of sites for the establishment of trout hatcheries and the erecting and equipping of the plants. Protessor Goes to British Columbia Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis Prof. C. I. Lewis of the horti culture department of the Oregon Ag ricultural College leaves soon for two weeks' trip through British Colum bia fruit districts, including Nelson, New Westminister, snd the Okanopan and Grand Forks districts, covering some 1,800 miles. Dallas Gets Goat Show. Salem At a meeting of the North west Angora Goat association held here it was decided to hold the annual show at Dallas, probably some time in December.
