President Does Not Wish to
Be Lord Muncaster.
Minneapolis That if he choose.
some day he may inherit the estate
and title of Lord Muncaster, master
of an English estate, was the state
ment of Edmund Pennington, presi
dent of the "Soo" line, and well
known throughout the Northwest
President Pennington said, however,
that he would not attempt to obtain
the title, but would remain an Ameri
can.
The story became known on receipt
of a dispatch saying that Lord Mun
caster was searching for the descend
ant of a branch of the family which
came to America many years ago and
asking concerning Mr. Pennington'
ancestor.
'I have known about this for
years, Mr. Pennington said. My
niece has visited the estate or Lord
Muncaster and members of my family
tell me that there is no doubt that I
am the legal heir to the title and es
tate. I am not interested in investi
gating the matter or in communicat
ing with Lord Muncaster."
TROOPS PREVENT RACES.
Indiana Militia Keeps All Away From
Track By Order of Governor.
Porter. Ind. The Mineral Springs
race track at Porter is in the bands of
the Indiana state troops. Ordered by
Governor Marshall to remain at the
track until all racing had been stop
ped, the troop arrived Thursday
morning bringing with them three
days' rations.
It had been decided by the owners
of the course to make an attempt to
bold the races in defiance of the gov
eror s order, hut when the horses ap
peared from the paddocks for the first
race they were halted by the troops
and the races were called off.
With the advent of the state troops
many of the horsemen began shipping
their stables away, apparently having
come to the conclusion that racing a
the Mineral Springs track is at an end,
ELY RESUMING NORMAL.
Several Hundred Return to Work In
Mine and Smelter.
tly, iNev. Several hundred miners
and smeltermen have returned to their
work here. The Carpenters union at

is reported that the machinists have
asked consent from their national
headquarters to take the same action.
There have been no recent disturb
ances and the camp is assuming its
normal condition rapidly.
Bingham, Utah. Nearly 2000 men
are at work in the mines here. Many
former employes of the Utah Copper

district is now producing about 50 per
cent of :ts normal output.
CHANGES PLANS OF TAFT.
Washington Hears Rumor of Special
Session on Mexico.
Washington, D. C Speculation con
nects the approaching return to Wash
ington of President Taft, contrary to
arrangements previously made for a
sojourn at Hot Springs, Va., with the
critical situation in Mexico, and there
are hints of the possibility of a spe
cial session of congress to relieve the
president of a decision as to whether
the time is ripe for intervention.
Officially the idea is scouted and the
determination of the government to
adhere to its present policy in regard
to Mexico is reaffirmed.
Secretary btimson is returning to
Washington from New York, it is un
derstood in advance of original plan.
Gunboat Runs Aground.
Norfolk, Va. To keep from coll id

in Nicaragua, according to cable
from Rear-Admiral Southerland, in
charge of the American forces there.
The admiral said, however, that he
considered it wise to be prepared and

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
SCIENCE BRINGS REWARD.
Immense Increase en Farms Where
O. A. C. Methods Were U.o.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis An average yield of 20 to SO
per cent more in crop raised on farm
of the O. A. C experiment station
than on other farm in the sums local
ity is reported by Prof. IL l. Scud
der, of the agronomy department, who
ha just returned from an inspection
tour of the Sherman, Crook and Har
ney county experiment farms. II
attribute these results to the scien
tific methods in conjunction with un
usually favorable weather conditions.
Corn, field peas, alfalfa and Turkey
Red wheat have succeeded on the land
of number of Eastern Oregon farm
era, indicating a promising future for
them in the ury-f arming areas, rive
years ago it was claimed that these
crop could not grow there with any
profit to the farmer, but the college
insisted then as now, on their future
importance in the development of dry
farming. That the farmers, notably
in Sherman and Crook counties, have
a growing reliance upon the wisdom
of the college expert is shown by the
fact that more than half the wheat
acreage is now in turkey ited. un
the Moro branch experiment farm this
variety has consistently proven its
superiority in yield over Other varie
ties.
At Mvtoliu and Redmond, as well
as at Moro, the value of com to the
dry farmer ha been proven by it suc
cess, both as a grain and as forage.
The variety which made the best
showing is a college-bred corn which
Prof. Scudder has been introducing to
hundreds of farmers, not in Eastern
Oregon alone, but throughout the
western part of the state also.
An equal success has been gained
with field peas, even - better results
than expected being achieved at both
Moro and Metoliua in the matter of
production (for seed and hay and for
pasturing pigs. Returns in pork of
$12 to $18 for each acre of peaa were
obtained at both station. Th
makes peas a better crop for financial
gain than wheat, as there is no har
vesting expense, and, still more im
portant, it increases rather than de
pletes the soil fertility. The Brown
field pea proved far the best and will
be grown tor distribution as fast as
possible.
Alfalfa grown in cultivated rows
for seed production gave the greatest
success of all, and proved most grati
fying to Prof. Scudder, who has advo
cated this particular form of produc
tion, and now feels that the college is
well justified in pushing this form of
dry farming work. A variety which
he introduced from the Dakotas is far
superior to all others not only in
drought resistance, but in seed pro
duction and resistance to frosts. For
mer estimates of a possible profit of
$20 an acre each year from the seed
crop, it is believed, will be exceeded
considerably. The seed is of unusual
value, both for its hardiness and vigor
and because of its environment. It
has already proven its superiority to
wheat as a money maker, and its val
ue as a soil builder is unquestioned.
More than a ton of hay to the acre
was also obtained this year in the al
falfa fields at Moro, and improvement
n methods is expected to bring the
yield up to a ton and a half.
Certain varieties of potatoes intro
duced in Sherman and Crook counties
by the college have alo proven su
perior in yield and quality, and as po
tatoes are always of unusual quality
on the dry-farming land, the varieties
now being developed on the experi
ment station fields will prove profit
bringers.
Ample demonstration on the experi
ment farm has been made of the
greater profits that may be obtained
from more intensive methods of farm
ing where corn, potatoes, field peas
and alfalfa replace wheat, as rotation
crops used with it. The improvement
of the soil and the maintenance of fer
tility, always the ultimate object of
the college in its work, is considered
the greatest result of such a system.
Industrial Photo Taken
Grants Pas Two Southern Oregon
industries have become so important
a to attract considerable public at
tention. One is the fishing in Rogue
river and the other is that of raising
Tokay grapes. Rogue river fishing
has long been a lure to sportsmen far
and wide and with the raising of To
kays is considered so important and
interesting that they will soon be ex
ploited on the moving picture canvas.
George M. Weister, official photo
grapher for the Southern Pacific, will
spend a week or ten days in the field.
Nature Ruin Farmer.
Salem George J. Wolfer, of Hub
bard, is having a peck of trouble and
ha written to Attorney General
Crawford for advice. He say pheas
ant are eating all his corn crop, and
that beavers are damming up a stream
and flooding hi property. He wants
to know what is likely to happen to
him if be take hi gun and begin to
slaughter, in "self-defense, as it
were." A the law prohibit killing
of pheasant and beavers, the attorney
general wa unable to give Mr. Wol
fer much comfort.
Timothy Nets Big Profit
Klamath Falls Threshing is nearly
completed. The early rain softened
the ground, so much fall plowing will
be done. There are three large trac
tion engines in the northen part of the
county engaged in plowing, and many
teams in the southern part are at the
same work. The best record crop so
far reported i that of J. W. Cox, of
Fort Klamath who netted $1200 from
the timothy seed raised on 12 acre of
ground.
New Course to Start.
Prairie City The newly organized
Union high school board of education
of this place ha decided to incorpor
ate in the new course of tudy a com
pletely equipped and up-to-date de
partment of stenography and type
writing. Thi department will be in
charge of Miss Madge Hyde, of thi
city, who recently graduated from th
Baker Business College.
THREE FAMILIES BiG AID.
Management of Wallowa County Fair
Gretetul to 24 Hots
Enterprise "Th County Fair
would not be much of a success, so far
a th amusement program is con
cerned. If it were not for the Tippett,
McFetridge and Warnock boys."
Thi remark, made by one of the
officer of the Wallowa County Agri
cultural Fair association at the close
of the recent exhibition here, has led
to an interesting confirmation. In
the three famil'ea there are 24 boy.
They were to the front in nearly every
contest put on by the fair. Whenever
an added number was desired, ull the
management had to do was to appeal
to these boys, and almost any kind of
an exciting contest could be arranged.
S. T. Tippett has nine sons, each of
whom i fully able to take cure of
himself in any event pertaining to
horsemanship. The suns are William,
T. S., J. H.. G. W.. C. C, Roy K..
Chris, Teddy and Lawrence, or liuster.

hus-ky young men William, Millard,
Fred, Alvin. Elmer, John and Cluster.
William Warnock "s five sns are
Elmer, Perry, Earl, Jesse and Vernon.
Daniel W. Warnock has three sons
Charles, William and Daniel.
In the first day' amusement pro
gram, the three groups of boys came
to the front in the lw mule race,
Elmer Warnock, John McFetridge and
Charles Tippett being the contestants,
while S. T. Tippett, the father, could
not keep out of the contest himself,
but furnished one of the mules. El
mer Warnock and J. H. Tippett were
on deck for the next event, the three-
mile mule relay.
Tippett and Warnock furnished one
string of horses for the great 15-mile
relay. Lola Warnock was a contes
tant in the girl' race, showing the
boys were not th only members of
the family who could ride horses. In
the saddle-horse contest, S. T. Tippett
and J. H. Tippett provided the win
ning horses. Dan Warnork's horse
is second in the quarter mile dash.
Jack Tippett beat Kis brother, J. H.,
n the packing contest.
On the third day, Alvin McFetridge
appeared in the chariot race. Dan
Warnock a horse was second in a
quarter-mile dash. S. T. Tippett fur
nished the horse that came in second
in the boys' race.
On Friday, Llmer McFetridge cap
tured the cowboy race, defeating
Charts, Guy and J. H. Tippett. John
McFetridge distinguished himself by
riding Hot Foot the famous Union
county outlaw. Saturday brought out
II. Tippett a winner of the cowboy
race, with John Meret ridge a contes
tant. In addition, the three families were
well represented in the exhibits, and
won a fine lot of prizes.

onel Jose Diss Ordaz and all the offi
cers of th rebellious troops and mar
ines will be haled immediately before
a court martial and doubtless will suf
fer the death penalty. Orders have
been issued for the convening of the
court, which will be presided over by
General Beltran.
General Dial, although not now a
member of the army, is amenable in
stu-h a court under the law which pro
vides for such trial of any civilian un
der like circumstances.
The soldier of the rebellious troojie
will be decimated -one in ten being
executed. They will be chosen by lot
to pay the penalty for all.
The collapse of the Dtnz movement
one week after it inception with a
minimum of fighting and bloodshed
has created the greatest surprise here.
In 'administration circles, where op-
timism has been the keynote since theJ
beginning, the outcome I regarded as
the highest possible vindication of the
confidence always expressed in the
loyalty of the army.
General Felix Diax, after General
Reyes, has been regarded as the man
who could wield the greatest Influence
with the army and the people general
ly. His rebellion, ending In a fiasco
only slightly less pronounced than the
or Keyes last Ueremher, removes a
danger that lung has loomed on the
political horizon.
