STANDARD OIL NOT HURT.
Pursues Same Business Method A
Bator "Dissolution."
Chicagj The Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana still buys it crude oil
from the Prairie Oil & Gas company
and the Ohio Oil company, and ship
its refined product in car of the Un
ion Tank line. Kith former subsidiary
corporations of the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey, the same a be
fore the separation of the corporations
by order of the United State Su
preme court. Such was evidence
brought out at the hearing here in the
fight waged by II. Clay Pierce against
stockholders of the Standard Oil com-
piny for control of the Waters-Tierce
Oil company.
The hearing will be resumed at Ntw
York. John 1). Arehbold. vice presi
dent of the corporation, will be called
as a witness before the conclusion of
the hearing in New York.
It was brought out by witnesses
that the company since its separation
from the parent corporation has not
established any new stations in terri
tory outside the states previously cov
ered by the Indiana concern.
President Cowan, of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, denied, how
ever, that Jonn l. Arcnooid or otner
directors of the old corporation have
ha 1 any connection with the manage
ment of the Indiana corporation since
the order of dissolution.
President Cowan explained that the
IJO.OOO.OOO stock dividend distributed
after the reorganixation of the com
pany represented property owned by
the corporation, and was made after
the capital stock had been increased
from H.O'Ur.i'OO to $30,000,000.
L. J. Drake, vice president of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, said
he was in charge of the marketing of
th company's product, and that there
was no agreement or understanding in
regard to the prices or territory with
any of the former subsidiary corpora
tions of the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey.

FAROLED MN IS BLAMED.
Adams, Not Webber. Originator of
Ccunterfeitirg Plan, I Belief.
Seattle Secret service operatives,
taking note of the effort of George E.
Adams, the paroled assay office looter,
; to represent himself as the dupe of
! 70-year-old John C. Webber in the
: plot to manufacture counterfeit silver
I dollars in a mint established by them
near Kent, said that all the evidence
I they had gathered showed Adams as
j the principal.
Adams, they paid, supplied the old
man with money, obliged him to ac
; count for evey penny and gave him
' instructions about his conduct. The
! secret service men say that Adams
j and Webber apparently decided upon
I the counterfeiting scheme while they
j were both in prison, and Adam set
I Wetber to work as soon as the old
' man was out of prison at the end of
his term.
Webber makes no denial of hi part
in the plot and will plead guilty.
Italian Navy Will He'p.
Rome Italy's program in the event
of war in the Balkans has not been
mapped out. It is known, however,
that the Italian navy will play a prom
inent role, indirectly aiding the Pal
kan coalition by preventing Turkey
from movirg troops out of Asia Minor.
To this end the Italian fleet will keep
its full strength in the vicinity of the
Aegean sea. To move troops from
Asia Minor toward Macedonia by
land, it is said, probably would be be
yond the resources available to the
Turkish government.

Belgrade The newspaper Politika
is in receipt of a dispatch reporting
that the Servian inhabitants of Us
kup, Kumnavo and other districts in
European Turkey, have broken out in
revolt and attacked the Turks with
axes, picks ar.d hay forks. The whole
region is in a state of terror. The
.Servian cabinet held a long sitting
Thursday. The government has de
tained ail railroad cars for military

Chicago Despite testimony by Miss
Virginia Prooks, the West Hammond

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
SHOWS STATE'S INDUSTRIES.
Map In Forthcoming flook of Great
Matittical Value
A valuable statistical deicription of
the state of Oregon, its resoutee and
it industries, will be provided in
booklet now heinsr prepared under the
direction of the Oregon State Immi
gration commission anil its chief offi
cer. C. C. Chapman, htate immigra
tion agent. The first edition will be
out about !November 1 and will be
600.000 copies.
This book will be the first reliable
record or condensed statistical com
pendium of the resources and indus
tries of the state that has ever been
prepared. Every figure and state
ment will be based upon data which
ha been obtained from every availa
ble source of national, stale and local
records, and will have been rechecktd
several times and revised to present
date, so far as possible.
The only illustrations will be 13
maps showing complete statistical di
rections upon the following public
themes: Educational institutions of
the state, creameries, cheese factories
and condenseries. precipitation map,
map showing the distribution of pop
ulation by counties, map showing
rural population distribution, a com
pendium of the forest reserve in Ore
gon and separate maps locating the
distribution of swine, horses, dairy
Cattle, beef cattle, minerals, railroads
and fruits. Each of these maps will
cover half a page in a S'2-page book
with pages sized f4 by SJ inches.
There will also be brief descriptive
articles upon the soil, climatic and
geographical qualities of Oregon,
written by eminent authorities upon
those special lines. The book has
been arranged by Lester Pavis, of
Salem, who has served as active ed
itor. Many of the maps ami f.gures
were prepared by the department of
animal husbandry at the Oregon Agri
cultural collgee.
The pamphlet was designed primar
ily to benefit ar.d inform the prospect
ive Oregon immigrant, but will be for
free distribution within the state, and
will serve as a valuable reference
hook for everyone. It will lie bound
in paper and be fit for use as a text
book in the public schools. Many ap
plications have been received already
by the commission from persons w ho
knew that the bo k whs in the process
of production. Their nanus will be
placed upon the waiting list prepara
tory to the first distribution.
Issuance of the book and an appro
priation of $25,000 to cover the cost
of publication ws authorized by an
act of the 1911 legislature. How
ever, there was no provision in the
bill making anyone responsible for the
disbursement of funds, so Governor
West refused, temporarily, to release
the funds, although he approved the
passage. It was not until last April
that he designated C. C. Chapman,
state immigration agent, to superin
tend the publication. Since that time
the book has been in the process of
preparation. The state will pay the
cost of distributing 2')0,(m.0 copies.
The Southern Pacific railroad bis or
dered a purchase of loo.f'iii) f. r its
own distribution and the Hill officials
are contemplating a similar order.
Potato Harvest Btginj.
La Grande To accommodate the
immense potato crop of the Elgin
country. H. H. Weatherspoon is build
ing a frost proof addition to his ware
house in Elgin. The addition is 24ix
40 feet and wi'l house 410,000 sacks
of potatoes. The ("otato digging will
begin at once, and a hundred or more
men will be needed to care for the
crop. The excellent prices obtained
for potatoes last year and the public
ity gained by that neighborhood by its
shipment of a full trainload of pota
toes to Kansas City has given impetus
to the industry, which has caused the
planting of several hundred acres.
Waldport After Creamery,
Waldport Waldport is elated over
the prospect of a fruit cannery here
next year. Parties have been looking
for a site. The coast counties are es
pecially adapted to the raising of
small fruits and vegetables, but owing
to the cost and ridk of transportation
the farmers at present produce only
enough for home consumption and lo
cal trade. Wild berries such as black
berries, blue, black and red huckle
berries and blueberries grow in great
abundance and their product harvest
ed would amount to hundreds of
thousands of gallons.
