It in feared there will b an exten sion of the strike. Mill owner were said lo be ready to dose down the plant in event of further walkout. In a comparatively mild degree l.awrenro experienced a repetition of the scene enacted lat winter. Some nf the more eager Htrikcra, in attempting to get worker to leave their machines, caused alight disturb anres in several mill. I'.eports of injuries to operatives were received hy the police, but none were eriously hurt. Cluh were flourished to intim idate those at work and mill machin ery at several plants was damaged. Of the 12. 'KlO operative who quit work, probably half did so as a pro test agaitiHt the trial of Kttor and 'iiovarinitti. The other were force' out through intimidation or closing of their department. " We are unable to control thu peo !c," said William Yale, of New led ford, national secretary of the tex tile branch of the Industrial Workers of thu World. "They broke away from us completely and left their work against our advice. We hoped they woulil heed the message sent from jail by Kttor and (iinvannitti urging them not to strike. Of course, in event of a majority sentiment in favor of a general strike, the Indus trial Workers of the World will give the same support to the movement as it did in the gnat industrial battle last winter." Several meetings of Industrial Workern wi re hi Id, most of the speeches being in foreign tongues. The largest meeting was addressed by Miss Klizaheth (Jurley Flynn, of New York. She urged the operatives to return to the mill and await the call of the lea lc rn for a strike. RUF HAS HEMEDY. for the Wuuld Abolith Primary Election .City Official.

FARM ORCHARD Soles a.M Instructions from AurUvltural Colleges and Experiment Station of Oregon anj Washington, Specially Suitable to I'acific Coast Condition! LOGANBERRY BUSINESS GROWS Prof. Lewis Gelt Many Inquiries Re garding Thi Fruit. Corvalli, Or. Kvery mail bring inquiries a to the proper method of growintf loganberries, to Prof. C. I. Lewis, horticulturist at the Oregon Agricultural college, indicating the great interest that has been aroused as to thi crop, and the rapid growth of the industry. " During the paat two or three years the loganberry has como to the front very materially in Oregon," gay Prof. Lewis, discussing tha matter. "In former years it was thought that the industry wa overdone. The berry did not ship well, and was very tart, partly because it was picked too early. It was also found that, in the early days, it was impossible to can the berry. With the introduction of the lacquered can, however, it can now be canned successfully. "The berry can also be dried, and there is now a greater demand than the supply ran meet. It is doubtful whether we can fill the demand for this berry within the next ten years. Some of the growers have contracted their supply for the next eight years. The price received is tH a ton, and the average yield i four or five tons to the acre. From such prices one can net from $200 to $250. " We have not tried to enlarge our markets to any extent. At the pres ent time in the Middle West the logan berry i:i rapidly becoming the leading pie berry. Not only is there a great demand for the canned und dried berry, but there is also a good demand for the juice. I am looking forward to the time when we will send out carloads of this juice to the East for soda fountain use. "The loganberry will grow on a great variety of soils, from the heavi est adobe to the river bottom loams. It will also do well on the red hill lands. The ground should be given good preparation before planting, since the loganberry is an exception ally heavy feeder. "There is auch a great demand for plants that many grower are putting out worthless ones. If possible one should get good strong rooted tips or else vigorous one-year-old plants. The distance for planting loganberries is 8xS feet. It will be sometime before it will be settled definitely what dis tance and methods of training and pruning are best for this plant. We are conducting a number of experi ments hers at the station and shall be able to give some definite results in a few years. "I luring the first year the plants should be given good tillage. They will not make much grawth before the full months, so by the next spring they will have to be trained. We generally put down ceJar post. The first wire is 2 feet from the ground, the second at or near the top of the post. A very good wire for stringing i the No. 12 galvanized iron wire. The row are generally run north and south so as to give a good distribution nf sunlight and allow fur maximum yield. "There are many methods used in training the vine on the wires. Some growers practice the twining together of two or three fruit canes, fastening them in a bundle to the wires. Others start the canes out in fan shap. One of the best systems that we have seen winds the young canes in among the wires so that the next year the fruit ing ennes cover almost the entire area that the wires allow. "About the only pruning is the cut ting out of the old canes. It i better to cut these out as soon as the fruiting season is over, thus minimizing any danger from disease. I have not found anyone who has tried the different methods of training under the same conditions, so it is very hard to say which system is the best. I believe the best advice I can give is to plant the bushes 6 or 8 feet apart and grow them as trailers. "The loganberry makes a splendid proposition as a filler, and goes very nicely with the prune, as the work for the two crops does not come at the same time of the year. The logan berry can also be dried in the same dryer with the prune, thus allowing a greater interest on the investment tied up in the evaporator. The logan berry is dried somewhat faster than the prune, taking from 16 to 24 hours. "There seem to be very few trouble some insects a ni only one disease, cane anthracnose. which attacks oth er than cane fruits. The present out look is certainly very bright, and there seems to be indication that we will have a tremendous output before very long." Foreseeing; All Trouble. Mr. Knutt "My dear, I'm drunk. It's a pity you ever married me. I'm sorry for the por children hie. Now, for the Lord's sake, let me come to bed quietly." Tattler. Verona's Municipal Pigeon.

Form- Midea Which Prevents Seed ing Found in Oregon. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor valli For the first time in Oregon report of the ravages of Dasyneura l.eguminicola Lint, the clover seed midge, are coming to the Oregon Ag ricultural college, and its abundance indicates that it has been in the state for mime season undetected. A. L. lovett, of the crop peat force of the Oregon Agricultural college, is mak ing a study of it. "The injury consists in the preven tion of the formation of the seed," says Mr. Lovett. "The larvae enter the flower buds and feed on the con tents of the ovaries of the flowrets. The injury becomes serious the second season, and increases each year the field is allowed to run. "The pest is present through the majority of the states where red clo ver is grown, and has also been re ported from Ontario and from Eng land. The red clover is the favorite host plant, but the white clover and alsike are also attacked and possibly the mammoth clover as well. "The adult female fly is so small and active that it is seldom seen in the field. It has a single pair of wings, long slender legs and a pinkish body. Under the miroscope the head and dorsal surface of the thorax are either black or dusky, and the abdo men salmon pink with smoky shades. It is about two millimeters long; when the ovipositor is extended it is nearly six millimeter in length. "In the Middle West its natural enemies are numerous. If the pest is serious and a crop of seed is desired, several methods may be used to con trol the injury by varying the time of formation of the clover head. Pastur ing the field in the spring or early summer destroys the midges and varies the time cf the main cutting for seed. The crop of clover hay may be cut early, insuring a heavy seed crop with a slight reduction in the yield of hay. The seed crop may be mowed back just after it starts, delaying the heading sufficiently to miss the second brooding of flies. "In a report on the presence of this insect near Portland, the maggots were found in numbers in mangers where clover hay was being fed. As far as we have been able to discover, the presence of the maggot does not lessen tho volume of the hay mater ially and is not detrimental to stock." SHOULD NOT EXPORT GRAIN Expert Says Big Mistake In Not Feeding Livestock. Portland, Or. That Oregon is mak ing a great mistake in exporting its grain instead of feeding it to live stock, is the belief of Dr. James Withycombe, ditctor of the experi ment Btation at the Oregon Agricul tural College, expressed strongly in a recent address before the Portland Ad vertising club. He pointed out the fact that there are ten million acres of dairy land in Oregon, and that two acres can sup port a cow. Thus five million cows, each worth a $100 profit annually, or five hundred million dollars altogeth er, in profit each year to the state, could be fed on this land. P.y feeding the grain instead of ex porting it. Dr. Withycombe estimates that the farmer would get fifty cents more a bushel, or, on a crop of fifteen million bushels for the state. $7,500, 000. The export of $101,000,000 worth of dairy produce, bacon and eggs from Denmark, which supports a population of 2.600,000, under try ing climatic conditions, proves con clusively what can be done under riRht management. Oregon, with its fine climate and rich variety of soils, should be able to do even better. Beauty of Woodwork. There is a friendly atmoppere in the presence of much woodwork not painted wood, but wood finished to show the beauty of its natural growth that is entirely lost in an expanse of smooth, hard paint. Its mellow light and soft shades form a far more restful background than any papered surface, and its strength and durabil ity make a wood finish ideal for a house that is to suggest the feeling of permanence and stability that belongs to the true home. Suburban Life. Help and Be Happy. Happiness is not a task. It is not even an occupation. It is a quality of life. Happiness depends on helpful ness. That's the reason joy is social. Helpfulnes keep happiness because it adds to the area of affection. People are not happy when they seek after happiness. They become steeped in happiness when they undertake to promote the joy of others. Walter Williams. Still Unexplored, All the opportunities for adventure are not over, though the north and south poles have both been conquered. In Africa there are 20,000,0000 square miles of land as yet unexplored.

It has often been called the Pompeii of Latium," and certainly it Is the only other place In Italy where one can ramble about the streets ot a town of the empire with no mod ern architecture to Intrude on one's dream. The ruins .however, differ reatly frcm those of Pompeii, because the ancient character and purpose of Ostla were different. The latter town was a bustling seaport with a cosmo politan Industrial population neither leisured enough to Indulge private ar tistic tastes nor much disposed to them. The world's capital, only a few miles distant, was the natural home of Ostlans of wealth or culture. But If we cannot see at Ostla the painted rooms and the courtyards set with statuary, which make Pompeii so attractive, we can see the frame work of a more vigorous and momen tous life, which makes a strong ap peal to the Imagination of anyone who has ever considered, however vague ly, what the Roman empire meant. Streets Filled Pp. The extraordinarily "untouched Btate in which the Ostia of the late im perial age has been preserved to our lime la due to two agents, sand-drift and malaria. Silt brought down to the Tiber mouth, dried, pulverized, and wind-borne, has gradually filled up streets and ruined buildings deserted by men because of the fevers which were bred from choked-up harbors and channels of the river. Partly for fear of these fevers, partly because Civlta Vecchla was found, ultimately, to be the better port for Rome, no con siderable population has ever return ed to Ostla, not even during a tempo rary revival In the fifteenth century, when the existing papal castle was built. The town had from the first a precarious existence. Its life was given to It by the Tiber, but the Ti ber could not be trusted. The river silted up its harbors one after the oth er, and silted up Itself. The port from which navies sailed to the Pu nic wars had become usel'is by the time of Augustus, and Claudius first and Trajan after him. bad to dig out new basins at enormous expense some distance away to the north, and cut connecting channels, which the river proceeded to silt up as of old. In the end it proved Impossible (or not worth while) to keep any port open Into which the main current of the Tiber flowed; and If Trajan's fossa, or canal, dredged out anew by Pope Paul V., In the early seventeenth century.

Just because the river treat ed these new harbors as badly as the old. Ostla managed to main tain Its life, and even to develop It, for some centuries longer, and only succumbed In the competition with Civlta Vecchia (a new creation of Trajan's) after tho empire has become Christian. If It had no prop er baBln for ships. It had always the main channel of tho Tiber flowing past Its walls, and bad passage as this of fered to ships. It was probably more to be depended on than the Claudlaa Soldier and Trencherman. Gen. Witifleld Scott was a notable figure In the Washington society of 60 years ago described by Mrs. Marl on Gouverneur In her entertaining volume of reminiscences, "As I re member." The general was some thing of an epicure. Mrs. Gouverneur recalls seeing him elt down with great satisfaction to a meal consisting prin cipally of Jowl.

D., it was still worth while to erect great ware houses and long, narrow sheds for ships on the river bank, and that flourishing guilds, whose busliness lay with shipping, existed In Ostia. Such were the associations of boatmen, lightermen, and divers, whose official records have been found cut on stone; but the importance of the last-named is in Itself a witness to the difficulties against which the port was struggling. For these divers bad neither sponges nor pearls to seek, but the cargoes of vessels which might be wrecked on tho dangerous bar of the estuary or the sand-banks of the channel. In one way or another, however, Ostla kept a lively trade, and a polyglot population which bought and sold In the serried shops lining Its paved streets. The religious cults of tha place are alone enough to show how variegated the crowd must have been. Vulcan, the original tod of the place, who bad presided over Its metal-workers since the days of tho early kings (as Romans loved to believe), had had to accept a Berious rival In Phrygian Cybele, and other competitors In Syrian Mithras, and Egyptian Iris and Seraphis, as well as the Hebrew Yahweh, whose worshipers dwelt thickly about the new Claudlan and Trajanlc basins. Wealth and Temples. And all this population had to hare Its places of amusement, as well as its temples, and there was wealth enough to decorate these with statutary which the Graeco-Roman artists ot the me tropolis probably supplied. Among the best examples that have survived to be found In the recent excavations are a bead cf Aphrodite, and a full length of a priestess, complete except for the right hand, and that nose-tip which has been chipped oft ninety la a hundred ancient statues which still exist. She makes a gracious, ma tronly figure which, let us hope, did something to civilize the shrieking Levantine mob of Ostia. The main place of recreation, the Theater, built of brick with Btone facing. In the Roman manner, is, relatively, less well preserved than the shops and houses. A big, upstanding building, it was a more obvious and profitable quarry for mediaeval builders. Nor had it been well treated In the imperial times. A summary restoration In the time of Honorius did much to obliter ate the more worthy work of the third century emperors. The clearance ot the city is still going on, year by year, at the expense of the Italian govern ment, and the absent public Is kept informed of constant discoveries by Signor Vaglierl's reports in the Notl zle degll Scavi, the most systematic and unfailing record which any coun try Issues concerning the recovery ot its past. But no reading of many re ports Is worth a tingle visit to the ruins themselves, and those visitors to Rome who neglect to take the electric line to Ostla and to spend at least an afternoon in Its Forum and streets will miss one of the most Interesting places in Italy.
