tention to their wounds.
The Mexican government ia arrest

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.
Fourteen were killed and about 90
injured when a fast freight crashed

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

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. The buildings of the
Eugene plant cover 30.000 square feet
of floor space, consisting of a green
fruit packing department cannery,
dryers and spray factory.
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

ments in the case of the Colorado
Delta Canal company, involving a
claim of $1,437,336, alleged to be due

irrigate the arid land of the Yuma

contends the secretary was authorised
by a special act of eongresa to divert
water from the Colorado river. The
petitioners claim a vested right su
perior to tbat of the United Statea.

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."
