Washington, D. C A force of 750 American marines under Colonel K. J. Moses tailed from Philadelphia on the transport Prairie for San Domingo to compel the reopening of Dominican custom houses, closed by Haytien rev olutionists. Authority for this step was given by President Taft after a conference with Acting Secretaiy of the Navy Winthrop between Washington and Ne York in the private car on which the president was returning to Bever ly. Acting Secretary of State Wilson and William T. S. lole, chief of the Latin-American division of the State department, had advised the president beforehand of the necessity for n mediate action in San Domingo. With the American marines will go Brigadier-General Mclntyre, chief of the army insular bureau, and Mr Dovle. as special commissioners to in vestigate conditions in San Domingo, especially on the border between that country and Hayti, where the revolu tionist have been most active. The Prairie will arrive at the island about October 3. Under the treaty of 1907 between the United States and the Dominican republic, the United States is respon sible for the collection and distribu tion of San Domingo's customs. Heretofore this has been accomplished peacefully, but rebels operating from Hayti have closed all four of the bor der customs posts. Whatever force is necessary will be used by the marines to reopen the posts and continue their operation. COMPANY IN QUANDARY. Wells-Fargo Liable to Arrest What ever It Does. San Francisco Wtllf-Fargo Jt Com pany has appealed to the railroad commission for relief from a situation which it regards as serious. The company ascribes its present dilemma to the liquor situation in Los Gatos. The town of Los Gatos is dry and le gally is "no-license" territory under the Wylie lical option law. The trus tees of Los Gatos have threatened the arrest of the Wells-Fargo officials if they carry liquor into the city and the Wells-Fargo men contend that if they refufe to deliver packages in the city, they are equally liable to arrest. Here's the way the company puts its application to the railroad com mission : "In view of the situation, your pe titioner, as a common carrier, is lia ble to suits for refusal to accept pack ages addressed to persons in i-os Gatos. to he carried and delivered to said person, and on the other hand, if this company accepts and delivers the same, which it is bound to do as a common carrier, the agent of Wells Fargo in Los Gatos is liable to be prosecuted criminally for making such delivery. The packages are subject to the risk of seizure end destruction by the public officials of Los Gatos. "The service by common carriers to the public is likely to be seriously dis turbed and interrupted and your hon orable commission is respectfully re quested and urged to investigate this case and determine the duties and ob ligations of the petitioner as a public utility under the laws of the state. CITY DANCING IS PROPOSED. Supervisor of San Francisco Urges Trial cf Plan. San Francisco Municipal dancing under municipal supervision, with municipal music and plen'y of it, is the plan submitted to the board of su pervisors by Supervisor Payot, The matter was referred to the public wel fare committee for a report as to ways and means of carrying the plan into operation. It is the answer of the board of su pervisors to the missionary committee of the Woman's Preabytery, who de manded that the city withdraw its ap proval of Sunday dancing at Troca dero, under the auspices of the Cali fornia Outdoor league. The protest was presented in the form of a set of resolutions denounc ing "the desecration of the Sabbath" with the approval of the city. Miners and Operators Firm. Bingham, Utah Attempts by lead ers of the 4500 copper miners on strike here to obtain a conference with mine operators and both sides ex pressed determination to. stand firm in their positions. Superintendent J. D. Shilling, of the Utah Copper company, said he had no knowledge of the com pany hiring strikebreakers. "If it is a waiting game," remarked J. C. Lowney. strike leader, "we can stand it as easily as the company." He had no fear that the strikers could not checkmate any move of the operators. Mirers Meet In Secret. Ely, Nev. A secret meeting of the local union of the Western Federation of Miners was held at Riepetown Wednesday night which was attended by Charles H. Moyer. president of the federation, and C. E. Miller, execu tive board member. The union lead ers refused to give out any informa tion regarding the meeting or the union's future plans. It is rumored that the same course was followed as was taken by the millmen and smelter men at McGill, who voted recently to support the Bingham strike. Age Persiors Advocated. Washington, D. C. Remedial legis lation, including old age pensions and non-employment insurance, was pro posed as a solution of the problfem of dependent children and needy families hy ex-Judge Girten, of Chicago, at the National Conference of Catholic Char ities here. Mr. Girton said that acci dent and industrial insurance, if prop erly managed, would do much to pre vent children from becoming depend ent upon the state. Bismark's Successor Is Dead. Badenweiler. Radon, Germany Ger many's most brilliant diplomat. Baron Adolf MiMhall von Rieberstein, died here Wednesday after a short illness. The baron, had occupied the posi tion of German ambassador in Iondon since May, this year. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE BEND ORCHARD PROJECTED. Successful Powell Butte Growr Will Try Out New Section. Bend While Central Oregon up to the present has received little serious attention as a commercial apple grow ing territory, an arrangement just maile for the planting of an extensive commercial orchard near Bend by an experienced fruitgrower indicates that apples may take their places alongside the other products of this immediate section in the near future. Guy l.afollette, who for several years has conducted an extensive nur sery near Powell Butte, some 25 miles east of Bend, plana the planting of 40 acres of tine apple trees on the A. S. Collins ranch, a mile from Bend. As Mr. Lafollette has raised apples most successfully on his Powell Butte place, where the altitude is 4200 feet, he anticipates no difficulty in meeting similar success here, at an altitude of but 2600 feet, and with excellent soil and irrigation conditions. The action of the nurseryman promises to intlu ence others toward setting out commer cial orchards. Hitherto apple raising in this section has been devoted chietly to small garden orchards, producing little more than enough for home con sumption. 200 SEE BRIDGE OPENING Span Over Umrnua Rier at Win chester Is Cedicated.l Roseburg With a crowd of more than 200 persons in attendance the new steel bridge spanning the Ump qua river, at Winchester, five miles north of Roseburg, was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies. Binger Her mann was the principal speaker and briefly reviewed the history of bridge building. He f aid the first bridges were built of wood, then came those constructed of stone, and finslly there came the modern steel structure which withstands the elements of time. He called particular attention to the fact that the year 1912 is an epoch in Douglas county for the reason that this year eight magnificient steel bridges are in course of erection Bridges. Mr. Hermann said, mark time with the progress and development of the country and that Douglas county should feel proud of the bridges it has built this year. The Winchester bridge is R90 feet in length, the two outer spans being 15(1 feet long, while the center span is 290 feet in length. The total cost of the bridge is about $16,000. WATER SUPPLY IS READY. Klamath Falls' Artesian Wells to Pump I.20O.0CO Ca Ions Daily. ""Klamath Falls The California- Oregon Power company is ready to connect its new artesian wells to the pumps, and will use this water exclu sively for the city supply in future. The new water supply is ample for the present needs of the city, the pumps on a test lifting f-UO gallons a minute, or a supply of nearly 1,200, 00(1 gallons ptr day. The management has had the water carefully analyzed, and it is free from deleterious germs, and .is said to be far purer than that supplied to the great majority of cities. The pipes and reservoirs will he cleaned and dis infected prior to using the new supply. The city has been practically free from typhoid fever this reason, no serious cases having been known. This has been due in part to the care of the water company in protecting the springs and partly to the general use of boiled water. ANCIENT BEAN PRIZEWINNER Rogue River Vegetable Attracts At tention at Jackson Fair. Medford O. J. Ames, from a small garden on the Rogue River bottoms, won the first prize of $50 for vegeta bles at the County fair and pear show. A unique feature of his exhibit was the beans grown form a seed discov ered in a crevice of a cliff-dweller's home in the Aztec ruins in Arizona. The original bean had lain there, ac cording to Mr. Ames, for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, when he secured it in 1909. It was planted the next year, the germinating element having survived, and the present crop resulted. It is similar in appearance to the Lima bean, but more prolific. Mr. Ames had 48 different varieties of vegetables in has display. Mammoth Lettuce Is Grown, Hood River Samples of some of the largest lettuce ever seen here are on exhibition at the Commercial club. The variety is the Wonderful or New York, and the heads are seven and eight inches in diameter. J. II. Ko berg, who has made Hood River as paragus famous, is the grower and says that on a half acre he has 12,000 heads just coming to maturity and that the 1000 dozen will till a car. A couple of cases will be put in storage to be exhibited at the Northwest Land-Products show in November. Ho Raisers Are Wanted Klamath Falls Although this county boasts of its barley yield, the returns running from 60 to 100 bushels an acre, and although it produces heavy yields of the most nutritious alfalfa, it is compelled to import hogs from California to supply the local market and to ship hams and Chicago and Omaha. bacon packed in i A local dealer I who has been in the meat business ten years, says that never in that time has the local supply met the demand although conditions are ideal for hog raising. Children's Fairs Great Suceas. Salem To he incorporated in hi annual report. Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction Alderman ha prepared statement showing what success has attended the industrial contests and industrial fairs which have been held among the children of Oregon. These will undoubtedly become a permanent feature in connection with the school work of the state after this year's trial. POTAIOES INJURED. Tualatin ValUy Crop Reported Short Fully One-Halt, HilUboro That t.n potato crop in this vicinity will be short fully f per cent as a result of early blight, is the prediction made by Howard Evarts Weed, an authority on plant diseases. "For several days past I have exam ined the potato fields in this vicinity, and find very few places but that show great damage to the growing crop. The recent windy weather made the conditions much worse than would otherwise have been the case, as the wind caused wide distribution of the spores of the fungus causing the dis ease. The excessive rains during Au gust made weakened, lender vinos full of moisture, while the atmosphetic conditions were such as cause all fun gus diseases to develop most rapidly. "For a month past there have been small brown spots upon the leaves, showing the presence of the disease known to science as macrosporium solani, or the early blight, but it has only been during the past week that the disease has developed rapidly ami the infection become widespread. "The vinea now have yellow leaves at the bottom of the plant, while the top leaves have their edges turned black. Growth of tubers has practi cally stopped. Some fields are worse than others, hillside fields being the worst affected. "Potato blight is now practically worldwide in its distribution. First described in 1S-C', it now occurs throughout the United States, Canada. Europe. Asia and Australia. Its con trol by means of the Bordeaux mix ture is easy, thanks to the experi ments made in lvjtf by Professor L. R.Jones of the Vermont experiment station. "These experiments were very thor ough, and the results so conclusive that spraying with Bordeaux mixture is now conducted as a part of farm practice by the best growers of the Central states. In the experiments at the Vermont station the sprayed po tatoes gave a yield of -i bushels wr acre against 99$ bushels per acre for the unsprayed potatoes, showing a difference of 191J bushels an acre in favor of spraying." NEW FISH CAR IN USE. 20.000 Trout Being Distributed East of The Dalles. The first "fish car" that has ever been used in Oregon left Portland Monday night for the Bonneville Con triil Fish Hatchery to stock up with a large shipment of trout fry that is to be distributed at various Oregon points to encourage the propagation of the trout species in the Oregon streams. This car is equipped with various mechanical devices necessary to the care of fish and with living quarters for the caretakers. It has accommo dations for 20,000 fish. On the present trip the car will drop 100 cans, each containing 10 gallons of trout fry, at The Dalles, Dufur and other points farther East, and will loop back through The Dalles to pick up the empty cans. Later it is in tended to distribute fish at favorable points along all of the railroad lines in Oregon. The car used in this work was do nated to Warden Finley by the O -W. R. & N., and equipped at the expense of the railroad. The car and accom panying employes are given free transportation on all of the official trips. This donation serves as a great accommodation. Heretofore shipments have been by the usual baggage ear route, which necessitated many delays in transfer. It is probable that the "fish car" will be placed on display in Portland soon. Branch Lire Completed. Klamath Falls The ballasting crew on the line north from Klamath Falls has finished its work as far as Rocky Ford, the crossing of Williamson river. I he section completed will now be turned over to the operating de partment. At Chiloquin, the present terminus of the work, there is a rumor that the Big Basin Lumber company is preparing to erect a large sawmill. If true it will add considerably to the importance of that town as a ship ping point, and also be a great benefit to the surrounding country. Grain Harvest Continued. Echi Weather conditions here are favorable for the harvesting of the grain. Some anxiety was felt ten days ago on account of the unexpected rain, but the warm, clear days that have followed have dispelled all fears and the harvesting has gone on rap idly. Wheat is being hauled to the local warehouses, averaging 1000 sacks a day. There is such an im mense quantity of wheat in this lo cality that it will take two more months of hauling before this season's crop is cared for. Apple Disease Prevalent. Corvallis Professor H. S. Jackson, department of plant pathology, O. A. C, has just returned from an extend ed trip of inspection through Eastern and Southern Oregon. Professor Jackson reports that the abundant rains of this season have brought about conditions especially favorable to the spread of the apple tree an thracnose in the orchard of the Southern and Western parts of the state. State To Exchange Land, Salem GovernorJ West, State For ester Elliott and Assistant District Forester Andrews as a representative of District Forester Cecil, left this week for the Cascade mountain near Detroit to make selection of 60,000 acres of government forest reserve land to exchange for scattered school snctinn in this state. The state for est reserve of 60,000 acres will be thus centralised. WINTER HIM MIDDLE WEST.

Electric Opiate Found, Ib-rlin An electric sleep, whi may be turned on and off at will, is the alluring prospect offered to peo pie suffering from insomnia by Dr Nagplschmidt, who describes his in vention for this purpose in a medical magazine. He says he has devised a new form of electric current which, when ap plied to the base of the brain, will produce a narcotic efTect which can be maintained as long as i desired. It has been tried with success and with out any injurious effects on dogs and rabbits, and Dr. Nagelschmidt is con vinced that it can be equally well ap plied to human being. Application of the current also eliminates pain from any part of the body. Scientists Note Strike.
