TROOPS FOR SAN DOMINGO.
Amtrican Force Will Take Charge
of Custom Houses.
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.

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.

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
