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

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

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. No other business was
transacted, the election of officers and
business in connection with the pool
going over until the show.
