CURRENT EVENTS 0FTHEW1 Doings of the World at Large Told in Brie! Qnral Rasum of Important Event Presented In Condensed Form for Our Busy Ritdtri. Rooeevelt insiiU that th political battle ia juat begun. President-elect Wilson ii consider ing th calling of an aztra session of congress. British Unionists forced division and defeated the government on the borne rule measure. Turkish soldier die by thousand from hunger, fatigue and lack of at tention to their wounds. The Mexican government ia arrest ing wealthy land owner on the charge of aiding the Zapatistas. Wood row Wilson will attend the Christian Citisenship conference in Portland, Or., in June, 1913. An unarmed 'stranger was arrested or insisting on seeing President Taft regarding the high cost of living. Heavy galea off the Pacific coast have caused much delay and trouble for shipping, but no aerioua loases have been reported. Owing to f the protests of the pow ers, the Turkish authorities have promised not to proclaim a "holy war" to redeem their lost cause. Firing of big guns by battleships in practice off the Atlantic coast alarmed the residents of coast cities, many thinking the noise and tremors due to an earthquake. When custom officials went to ap praise the alleged f 500.000 worth of pearls and other jewels belonging to Gabys Deslys, French dancer, they found that the whole lot was worth less than 2500. Discovery was made that four peni tentiary prisoners, because they were insane and transferred from the Ohio state prison to the state hospital, have been unlawfully held for year after their prison sentences had expired.

CLIMAX IS PASS CO. In Socialism la Definitely on Wane Wilwauk, Wisconsin. Milwaukee That Socialism has reached its climax ia Milwaukee, and is now dropping backward, is the declaration of political observers here as a result of the election by which Victor L. Berger, the lone Socialist member of congress, was defeated. and every Socialist office holder in Milwaukee county was voted to pri vate life. The Socialist vote showed a great falling off over the apring election figures, and although there was a gain in the state, Milwaukee Socialists actually lost ground. In the state the Socialist vote will total about 60. 000, ruinning even with that for Roose velt Four years ago it was only half that figure, and the gain ia more sig nificant for the atate total this year shows a falling off of more than 100, 000 from the complete figures of 1908, In Milwaukee, however, the red flag movement appear to be finally lost and it can be said to have accom plished only one thing, the elimination here of partisan politics in municipal affaire. The Socialists were beaten in the city election last spring by a fusion of Democrats and Republicans, and this fall when county officers were elected the same fusion accomplished the same results. Apparently all that was needed to spell finis to Socialism's career in Mil waukee was the opportunity to control the administration. With that con trol the Socialists failed so completely in their projects of municipal owner ship of utilities and other vague promises of great thinga to be accom pushed that their term in office was only a single term. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE by the people at the FRUIT CANNERY 13 COMPLETED Machinery to Be Put in Forest Grove Plant This Winter. Forest Grove The Fruit Cannery association of this eity ha just com pleted a large cannery and packing plant on First avenue and will install machinery this winter, so as to be ready to take care of the early fruit and vegetables next spring. There are over 100 stockholders in the association, these being mostly farmers and fruit raisers. A letter received by President Atwell from Manager Holt of the Eugene Fruit Growers' association, has caused the members of the local association to feel very hopeful in regard to the suc cess of the Forest Grove plant. Manager Holt statea that it ia yet too early in the season to give a com plete statement of this season's busi ness, as they are yet running full blast canning pumpkins, squash, ap ples, tomatoes and sauerkraut and packing apples. They expect to be kept busy until December 1 and in some departments will be kept busy the year round.

This association is now completing the fourth year of its existence and it has grown steadily from the beginning. rate bill passed recent election. Whether this action will be insti tuted bv the railroads or by the ship- nr has not been determined. One plan is for the rsilruads to apply to the courts for a restraining order. Another ia for the railroads to enforce the new lew as nearly as it is possible for them to do so, and then let the shippers endeavor to enjoin the rail roads. Attorneys declare the law became effective immediately after the elec tion assured its adoption, and that the railroads are subject to the penalties every time they charge the old or ex isting rates. Yet traffic officials point out t would take them aix months to pub lish a new tariff in conformity with the new law. Because no one expect ed the measure to pass no one is pre pared to meet its demand. The bill was plainly written in that it did not carry a "joker," yet few people un derstood its object and intent Lincoln County Crows Best Roots.

' ANTHRACITE PRICE HELD. Operators Say Dealers Are Psyirg No More far Coal. New York Because of the uneaai nesa regarding the supply of anthra cite and the fact that some consumers are complaining that an abnormally high price Is asked, the committee of operator issued a statement in which they say: "The larger mining companies are holding absolutely to their circular prices. They have not advanced these to dealers to whom they sell and have no intention of doing so. By far the greater part of the total of anthracite output is being sold by the original producers at the circular prices." The statement concludes: The operators are eonviced that though this year's production is behind last year'a, consumers will not suffer for want of coal if they content them selves with moderate purchases for the time and do not attempt to lay in a large store in advance and thus cre ate an artificial scarcity."

Budapest I have the hfgheat au thority for stating: Firstly, that the expected disagreement between Aua tria and Servia over the Balkan settle ment will constitute the sole interna tional difficulty. Secondly, that Servia must define her attitude within a few days. Thirdly, that Austria demands and these demands are immutable a cus toms and commercial union with Ser via and Montenegro, and is certain to obtain this unless a great power in termeddles, which is deemed unlikely.
