IxndonA apeclal dispatch from
Pekln aay that strong rebel detach
ment attacked the northern army
twice.
The rebel are entrenching every,
where. They aay they have enliated
16,0(10 former soldiers.
Ichang haa fallen into the hands
of a aeparale revolutionary organii.
ation called Kuominifhas. The
Wuchang rebel agenta swarm at
Shangsha, Yochow and other towns.
The men are organizing a southern
confederacy and are willing to pay
the Manchua.
Sxechuen also reports heavy fighting.
Pekln-The full text of a Joint die
patch aent by AOmlrsls Jul Cheng and
Sah Chen Iling, in command of the
warships off Hankow, la published in
the Chinese papers, showing that
mere haa been sudden and inexpli
cable relaxation of the censorship.
The dispatch aay:
"A the second Installment of the
Tientain troopa arrived at the river
atation they were attacked by from
2.000 to 3,000 rebels. General Chang
Plao led the troop from Hupeh and
Honan, killing 200 to 300 rebel.
They also captured aix big guna and
numerous other weapons. More than
20 loyalist troop were killed.
"Simultaneously Admiral Sah or
dered the fleet to protect the river
bank and prevent reinforcements from
coming from Wuchang.
"The warships, however, were un
able to participate In the fighting, be
ing afraid of injuring the loyal troopa.
"Chang Piao recaptured the station
but he had so mai.y men wounded he
was unable to retain it."
The dispatch concludes:
"The fleet ia without coal or rice.
We can only appeal to the throne to
send Immediately heavy artillery."
Proclamations have been issued call
ing for recruits to the Manchu army
and announcing an uicrrae of 2,000
men in the constabulary. Another
proclamation declares that the govern
ment granarios are now open and pro
hibits hoarding of rice and the in
creasing of prices above the market
rate. Those transgressing thia order
will be severely punished. The gov
ernment granariea contain tributes of
rice from time immemorial, for use in
the event of siege or rebellion. Not
withstanding the proclamation, the
price of rice is rising.
ZAPATA ON RAMPAGE.
Two Rsilrosd Bridge and Station
Burned By Rebel.
Mexico City Two bridge blown up
on the Interoceanic railroad, one sta
tion "burned and two battlea with Fed
eral troopa form one day' record of
the Zapata campaign.
The apparent inability of the gov
ernment to capture 7.apata or to put
down his insurrection leads to the be
lief that the pai ification of the south
will remain for Madero when he as
sumes the presidency next month.
In addition to the Zspata problem,
the new executive must also deal with
ve uprisings. The bridge-destroying
occurred near the state line of Morelo
and Mexico. The station at Nepantla
wna burned. The larger of the two
bridgea destroyed was 150 feet long.
A irovemment official estimate tne
number of Zapatistas engaged at 600.
A trainload of troopa was aent to the
raided district from Cuautla. The
skirmishes were at Tetlica and San
Vicente, in Morelo. Th rebel were
defeated, but fatalitiee were amall.
Zapatistas no longer are confined to
Morelo. but exist in nearby states
of Guerrero and Oaxada.

GRADE WORK IS RUSHED.
Oregon Electric Establish Camp
South of Albany.
Albany The Oregon Electric has
begun on the grade for Ita line from
Albany to Eugene. The first camp
ior mis wora la being established aix
milea south of thia city. The begin
ning of work on the grade south of
this city even before the Salem.Al
bany extenaion ia completed indicatea
an intention to rush the line through
w me university city aa rapidly
poaaible.
The grade for the Salem-Albany
line will be completed before the mid.
die of November at .the latest Be
tween this city and the Santiam river
the grade ia almost completed now
and all of the fill will be made and
other work necessary for a complete
graue win be finished within two
weeks. It will probably require an
additional two week to complete thia
worn between balem and the Santiam
Work ia progressing rapidly on the
temporary bridge over the Santiam
river and it will be completed from
present Indications within six week.
The work of Isying rails will begin
on the Salem-Albany extension
by the first of December at the
latest and the Oregon Electric will be
able to realize ita expectation of run
ning traina into Albany by the first of
year.
APPLE SPACE IS SOUGHT.
Baker, Or., and Goldendale, Wash.,
to Enter Show Hare.
Portland Baker, Or., and Golden-
dale, Wash., are the two latest bid
ders for space in the coming apple
show, to be held in the Yeon building
by the Oregon Horticultural society.
Representatives from the commercial
clubs of both cities visited F. W.
Power, secretary of the Horticultural
society, and promised to let him know
at once how large an exhibit they
could muster, whenever he could tell
them what space they would be allowed
for their exhibits.
Goldendale ia the aecond city outside
the state that haa promised to send ex
hibits, I.yle, Wash, being the first.
Word was also received from Lyle
that the I.yle commercial club would
not only bring a 60-box exhibit, but
would send the entire plate exhibits
from ita own apple show held there
October 21.
II. J. Clark, representing the Gold
endale commercial club, said that ita
exhibit would be prepared jointly by
the commercial club and the Golden-
dale Fruit Producers' association.
Godendale and Baker have asked for a
large supply of the prise lints to be
circulated among the fruitraisers of
their neighborhoods.
SCIO WILL KEEP FAIR.
Linn County Association Decides to
Continue Exhibition.
Scio At a meeting of the stock
holders of the Lirm County Fair asso
ciation held here to consider the ad
visability of holding a fair next year,
it waa decided to do so. There is an
indebtedness of $r50, which it will be
necessary to pay before the associa
tion can start next year's fair.
About $300 worth of new stock was
subscribed and an assessment of $2.60
made against each owner of stock
who took no new share.
Much interest will now be taken in
the question of officers to be elected
at the annual meeting in January, as
there is some doubt whether Dr. Prill,
who haa served aa president since the
organization of the fair five years ago,
can be induced to serve any longer.
The only one ao far mentioned as a
possible successor to Dr. Prill, in case
he refuses another term, is R. Selton.
Grant Exhibits are Fine.
John Day The Grant county . agri
cultural society cloaed ita third annual
session at John Day with a record of
attendance and an exhibition of live
stock, fruit and vegetables that ri
valed those of the best fairs of the
Northwest. The educational exhibit
was exceptionally fine.
The races were fast and exciting.
While no records were broken, the
time was remarkably good and the
horses were evenly matched. More
than $1,600 in permiums were distrib
uted and an equal amount waa distrib
uted in purses to the winners of the
rsce. Many special prizes were giv
en by business and professional men.
The educational prizes totaled over
$200. Sixteen schools of the county
took part. The gate receipts show
that fully 6,000 people attended.
Lakavlew Adds Agriculture.
Lajceview When the new high
school now under course of construc
tion here Is completed an important
feature of the studiea to be taken up
ia an agricultural course, it being de
termined by the school authorities
that such study Is not only practical
for the high school studenU who may
be fanners after they graduate, but
will much better At them by helping
to equip them with a knowledge of the
advantages of Lak county soil.

EXHIBIT TO BE BEST.
Butter and Chaesamakara' Plana Are
for Big Exhibition.
Portland That thia year's aeasion
of the Butter and Cheeaemakera' asso
ciation, to be held here December 5
and 6, will be the most important
meeting yet held by that body, waa
the opinion expressed by the presi
dent, A. II. Lea. The presence of
George L. McKay, of the State Agri
cultural college, of Iowa, an interna
tional authority on subjects pertaining
to dairying, ia considered an assurance
of the aucceaa of the meeting. Pro
fessor McKay is ferquently aent to
Europe by the department of agricul
ture to gather information concerning
dairying methods for the use of the
department. He will act as the offi
cial scorer for the association.
Mr. Lea aays that the association
proposes to have its members score
the butter and cheeae products in the
exhibition hall after Professor McKay
haa paaaed upon them, and before hia
deciaiona have been announced. The
score which comes the neareat to Pro
fessor McKay's will be awarded a
prize. A fund of $1,000 has been
raised for prizes. Among the promi
nent dairy experts to attend will be:
John Sollie, of New Sweden, Minn. ;
Professor F. L. Kent, of Corvallis; T.
S. Townsend, Professor Thurston, of
the department of agriculture at San
Francisco, and Adam Schmeizer, of
Tillamook, whose cheese products
were awarded the first prize at the
Oregon and Washington state fairs.
BANK SECURES HOP FARM.
Ladd & Bush Buy Krebs Yard at
Independence for $126,000.
Salem One of the biggest hop
ranches in the country changed hands
when the Ladd & Bush bank, of this
city, reached a settlement with the
Krebs Hop company and took over the
600-acre ranch near Independence.
This year 300 acres of the ranch is in
hope.
Particulars of the settlement are not
given. It is known that for some
time the Ladd & Bush bank has been
aiding the Kreba company in carrying
its properties, and a settlement of
outstanding claims had been expected.
This year, with the hop market
soaring, it waa expected that a start
toward an adjustment would be made
in favor of the Kreba company, but
evidently such an adjustment could
not be brought about. It ia understood
from reliable sources that the settle
ment was made on a basis of $90,000.
BANKING PLAN MODIFIED.
OREGON NAME WINS FAME.
Fruit From Eugene No Longer Ship
ped ss "California."
Eugene Proving that Oregon's rep
utation aa a fruit country has commer
cial value, the new label on the prune
boxes shipped from the Eugene Fruit
growers' association reads: "Oregon
prunes, packed by the California
Fruitgrowers' Association." Only a
few years ago every can, crate and
box that went out of here was labeled
"California Fruit," because the East
ern market demanded California pro
ducts. At that time the cannery and pack
ing plant was in local hands, and the
word "California" was used because
of its commercial value. Last apring
the California Fruitgrowers' associa
tion entered the field, taking over the
local fruitgrowers' associations' plants
in the Willamette valley. Presumably
the label "Oregon Fruit" ia used by
the California company becauae of ita
commercial value.
Apple Tree Brings S0OO.
Albany A Linn county apple tree
waa sold recently for $600. It is an
'"ever-bearing" tree, being a great
natural curiosity and, ao far as known,
the only one of ita kind in the world.
It is a seedling which grew up in a
fence corner on the farm of David E.
Junken. 10 milea southeast of Albany.
It ia now 10 years old, and for several
years has borne ripe fruit from May to
November of each year, having blos
soms, green fruit and ripe fruit all on
its branches at the aame time during
the summer. The apples are of good
quality. The tree was bought by a
nursery company, which is to have all
its products for 10 years. The tree
will be left in its present situation
and the company will utilize it in se
curing buds and aciona in an effort to
propagate the "ever-bearing" var
iety. Ashland Armory Site Approved.
Ashland The state of, Oregon has
accepted the site for Ashland's new
armory at the corner of Oak and B
streets, construction of which will be
gotten under way as early in 1912 aj
possible. It waa plaaned to have th
work begun this fall, but thia was im
possible, as the county appropriation
of $7,500 will not be available early
enough. Ashland haa contributed
$7,500 and the state $15,000. The
armory will coat $30,000.
Car Crowding Taken Up.
Salem On its own motion th state
railroad commission will informally
take up the question of overcrowded
condition of cars on the Oregon City
lines of the Portland Railway, Light
A Power company. Overcrowding of
cars on the Mount Scott line waa taken
up previoualy by the commission, with
the result that conditions were mater
ially improved.
Senator Aldrlch Seeks to Destroy
Control by Wall Street,
Washington, D. C Ex-Senator Aid
rich, of Rhode Island, submitted to
the national monetary commission, of
which he is chairman, a revision of
hia plan for monetary legislation. The
commission may use it as the baaia of
ita recommendations to congress.
The baaic principles of the proposed
plan are substantially the same aa
those embodied in Mr. Aldrich's first
proposal, aent to the commission last
January, which, he aaid, he expected
would serve aa a baaia for national
discussion.
Briefly, tbe plan still provides for the
organization of the National Reserve
association, with a capital of approxi
mately $300,000,000, in which the
United States government and the
banks owning sharea in the associa
tion shall be the only depositors.
The plan of dividing the United
States into 16 financial districts re
mains unchanged. In each diatrict
the banks ahall form local associa
tions, which in turn will be represent
ed in the branches and finally in the
central organization through a system
of elections of directors, which it is
said will make it impossible for any
section or set of bankers to control
the whole.
WHOLESALE PILLAGE FEARED.
Are
Contending Chinese Armies
tBoth Untrustworthy.
Pekln The foreign legstions in Pe
kin are receiving no dispatches from
Hankow. The last message from
American Consul General Greene said
only that the fighting had begun. It
is understood, however, that the con
cessions in Hankow are aafe and that
the 10 or 12 foreign cruisers and gun
boats in the harbor are ample protec
tion, even from the joint Chinese
army and navy.
But it will be impossibe to prevent
stray shells from endangering for
eigners, or conflagrations and looting
by the rabble. It would be difficult
to cordon the concessions, because
only narrow streets cut them off from
the densely packed Chinese city.
It is hoped that all Jthe women and
children already have been safely re
moved from Hankow, as it is feared
that the defeat of the government
might be followed by excesses.
The British legation at Pekin
denied that German troops had been
engaged in the fighting in the streets
of Hankow.
Dispatches were received saying
that Siakan, in Hupeh province, has
been captured by the rebels.
A report haa reached here that im
perialists have refused to detrain at
Hankow. Other reports say that the
Chinese gunboats took little part in
the recent fighting, because a direct
fire would have endangered their own
troops, while a flank fire would have
involved a bombardment over the for
eign concession.
The rebels retreated after the first
fighting, because of shortage of ammu
nition and the arrival of government
reinforcements, but the loyal troops
were not sufficiently strong to press
home any advantage.
High Pay Causes Strike.
Tucson, Ariz. After receiving $2.50
in gold a day for emergency work in
clearing away the wreckage caused by
the recent storm along the Southern
Pacific of Mexico's line in Sonora,
hundreda of Mexican laborers are
striking as a protest against the de
sire of the railroad to have them re
turn to their regular track work at the
old acale of wagea. Daily strikes of
this nature have delayed the reopen
ing of the West Coast line, but the
officials announce that despite, all
drawbacks, they expect to have it alt
ready for traffic again in a few days.
Aviators May Be Spies.
Rome An interesting discussion ia
being held in military circles as to
how the Turks will be likely to treat
the Italian military aviators if cap
tured. It is recalled that the passen
gers of five French balloons captured
by the Prussians in 1870 were consid
ered as spies by Bismarck. In the
present esse the aviators wear mili
tary uniforms and do not conceal their
identity in reconnoitering the enemy's
position. Accordingly, the Italians
think that, if captured, the aviators
should be prisoners of war.
Flyer Is in Air Four Hour.
St. Louis Howard L. Gill, in a bi
plane, broke the American endurance
record at Kinlocb aviation field here
by remaining in the air four hours, 16
minutes and 35 seconds. The former
record, made by the late St. Croix
Johnstone, was four hours and one
minute. Gill ascended at 12:49:56
o'clock and descended at 5 :06 :30. His
flight was principally over the fields,
but at times he flew over a triangular
course of more that 30 miles.
Field Rstion Abolished.
Washington, D. C The field ra
tion, adopted in 1901 by the War de
partment for troops in the field, has
been abolished. After it had bad a
thorough trial it waa found unsuitable
for the purpose for which it waa de
vised. Army officers believe regular
garrison food can be provided under
field service conditions as aaily as a
special ration.
Honor Aaked for Lee. '
Tacoma A resolution waa adopted
at the state convention of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy that a commit
tee confer with the regents of the
state university at Seattle to the end
that a portrait of Robert E. Lee be
hung with the pictures of other cele
brities there.
PERILS OK AIR
MUCH REDUCED
Wright Bros. Invent Automatic
Control for Aeroplanes.
Claim Glider Can Be Held Stationary
Over Given Point for Five :
Minut.
Kill Devil Hill, N. C. Announce
ment that the problem of the auto
matic control of the aeroplane has
been solved by the Wright brothers
has created tremendous interest in the
aviation world. Tips was made evi
dent by the number of telegram and
cable messages received by Orville
Wright
While Mr. Wright refuse to go
into details as to the new mechanical
device, he said that an automatic sta
bilizer had been experimented with
on power-driven machines and had
proved satisfactory. It ia his deaire
to test the device in a strong wind that
brought him to the bleak sand bills
on the coast of North Carolina.
There are other things, however,
which Mr. Wright hopes to demon
strate with bis new biplane. He said
that he believed it poaaible to make a
flight of one mile over tbe ground in a
glider without the aid of a motor.
Asked if it would be possible for the
new biplane to hover over a given
point in the face of a heavy gale for
a considerable time, Mr. Wright said:
"Before we leave here we hope to
demonstrate that the glider can be
held in a fixed position in the air for
five minutsts or more."
Thia automatic stabilizer consists
of a pair of ailerons. The ailerons
are in effect small supplementary
wings at the outer extremities of the
planes and usually are operated
through a yoke attached to the shoul
der of the aviator.
If the machine tips to the left, the
aviator leana to the right and vice
versa. When he leana, the aileron on
the down side of the aeroplane bends
down and the opposite one bends up.
This movement tends to right the
aeroplane and brings it back to the
horizontal.
While no details have been made
public, it ia understood that a pendu
lum hanging under the machine will
work the ailerons independent of the
warping wings and thus, if the aero
plane is thrown off its sidewiae bal
ance, tbe automatic stabilizer will
tend to restore it to a even keel.
EVIDENCE DISAPPEARS.
Battered Ink Tank of Los Angela
Times Is Misting.
Los Angeles The ink tank of the
Los Angeles Times building, which is
to be one of the chief exhibits of the
defense to prove that an explosion of
gas and not of dynamite wrecked the
plant the morning of October 1, 1910,
is missing. The 600 pounds of iron
haa disappeared from the mountain of
junk on the bank of the Los Angeles
river.
District Attorney Fredericks does
not know what has happened to the
tank and the attorneys for the de
fense, who relied upon it to make the
chief point in their case, do not seem
to be much worried about the disap
pearance. District Attorney Fredericks takes
a philosophical view of the disappear
ance of the tank.
At the junk yard where the wreck
age of the Times building was dumped
when the ruins were cleared away, it
was learned that the tank had been
sold. A stranger, a big man, well
dressed, and who arrived at the yard
in an automobile, purchased the tank.
He said he wanted it for use in stor
ing oil. His name was not learned by
the junk dealer and he carted away
the Important piece of evidence.
It is known that the defense has
kept a watch over the tank and it is
declared that it ia improbable that it
waa taken away without the making
of a report as to where it went to the
office of Clarence Darrow.
Fifteen Italians Are Slain.
Berlin A special dispatch from
Tripoli reports a sanguinary fight near
the town of Tripoli. The Italians
were caught between two fires. The
warships were unable to give assist
ance. Fifteen Italian soliders were
found dead in the trenches. Many
dead and wounded were transported to
the warships. The authorities, how
ever, assert that only one man ia miss
ing. Another dispatch aays the Turk
ish garrison at Benghazi is offering
vigorous resistance, and is being aided
by Senius tribesmen.
Census Tsker Acquitted.
Spokane After being out nine
hours, a jury in the Federal court,
having under consideration the case of
Isaac J. Mendenhall, indicted on five
count for padding census figures, re
turned a verdict of not guilty. The
