FANATIC IIU.LS BOMB AT NEW VICEROY OF INDIA It is reported that Turks have mas sacred all the Christians at Mitylene. A Greek vessel reports that the Turkish fleet was forced ashore by the Greeks, and the Turkish admiral was killed. The proposed inter-state bridge be tween Vancouver, Wash., and Port land, Or., is given renewed impetus by big meeting in Seattle. Turkeys are a drug on the market in San Francisco at 18 to 20 cents per pound, though chickens and other poultry are higher than ever. Portland plans to "sing the old year out" by an open-air concert on the streets, in which everyone will join, led by an immense brass band.

The doctors who removed the metal splinters from the wounds declared it was marvelous that the viceroy es caped fatal injuries. Lady Hardinge immediately after the explosion asked her husband if he was hurt. He replied: "I am all right. Go on." Lady Hardinge then said: "We cannot. There is a dead man behind. " The elephant on which they were riding halted and the vicerov tried to stand up, but reeled and fainted and the officials who gathered around had much difficulty in removing him from the elephant's back. The howdah in which he and Lady Hardinge had been seated was blown to matchwood.

It is not known whether the bomb-thrower has been arrested. Intense indignation is expressed in Calcutta and here over the incident. Fears are expressed that it may have been a manifestation of Moslem resentment at the British occupancy of the ancient Mohammedan capital of India. Peruvian Issue Grave. Washington, D. C Stuart Fuller, American consul at Iquitos, Peru, who investigate.! the reported outrages against the Peruvian Indians in the Putumayo rubber district has arrived in Washington and conferred with State department officials.

Umatilla County Association In dorses Proposal of Commission. Fendleton At one of the largest meetings ever held here the Umatilla county Fish and Game association heartily indorsed, by resolutions, the proposed change by the State Game commission of the grouse and deer law. which provides that the season for hunting both will be from Septem ber 1 to November 1. Besides warmly indorsing the excel lent work generally done by the State Fish and Game commission since its organization, the matter of removing protection from female deer was also fully discussed, the majority present being opposed to the change. Another proposal receiving favora ble consideration whs cutting the deer limit from five to three, while a good ly number stood for even greater re duction. Fisher Is Noncommital. Washington, D. C. Representative Hawley and National Committeman Williams called on Secretary Fisher and entered a protest against the re cent cancellation of 17 Siletz entries that came within the provisions of the Hawley act, pointing out that the en tries held for cancellation were among those before the department when it drew the Hawley bill and, inasmuch as that bill had been drawn in the de partment to facilitate the patenting of these identical entries, it was unjust now to read into the law requirements as to cultivation and residence that were not in the law when it was writ ten by the department and passed by congress. Representative Hawley said after the conference that he had hoed Sec retary Fisher would reverse the re cent adverse action in the 17 cases, but the secretary made no promises. Poultry Association Organized. Eugene The Oregon branch of the American Poultry association was or ganized here by the adoption of a con stitution and by-laws and by the nomi nation of a set of officers.

Keeney, Eu gene, second vice president; Ed Shearer, Estacada, secretary; B. Lee Paget, Portland, treasurer. A ban quet closed the meeting. Bay City Votes Port Tan. Bay City At a special meeting of the commissioners of the Port of Hay City, it was voted to levy a tax of one and one-half mills on the assessed val uation of the port, amounting to $5, 500,000. It is for the purpose of fi nancing the preliminary expenses in curred in complying with the govern ment requirements, as called for under the terms of the recent appropriation allowed by the rivers and harlor bill, for the improvement of Tillamook bar and harbor. Actual work will be started early in the spring. Health Resort Planned. Pan-Ion A modern sanitarium is to be erected at Bandon by H. C. Dipple. The sanitarium will contain one of the largest covered swimming pools on the Pacific Coast. Every summer a large number visit Bandon-by-the-Sea to recuperate. The climate is mild, never hot, the air bracing and the scenery beautiful. The erection of a sanitarium with a swimming tank open to the public will no doubt do much to increase the pop ularity of Bandon as a seaside resort. Hoy Scouts to Organize. Albany Albany will soon have an organization of lioy Scouts. More tfian 20 boys of this city met nnd formed a tniop and permanent organ ization will be effected in January. Professor Mans Flo, of Albany col I ;ge, will be in charge of the organiz ation here. Short Course at O. A. C. Haa Work. In Home Gardening. Oreinin Agricultural College, Cor- vallia Four courses in vegetable grow ing are to be given in the short course at the Oregon Agricultural college which oiK'h it four week' session January 6. For the past few year Oregon, surpassed for opportunitie for production of vegetables, ha een large increase in vegetable growing, Hundreds of carloads of vegetahl that miirht easily be raised within the state, however, are now being shipped in. "The state should be an exporter o vegetables, rather than an importer, say I ror. v . I. Lewis, discussing me situation. "At the present time, with the exception of onions and potatoes a large ler cent oi mo vegciaiucs we consume are itmsirtcd. In order to meet the demand for information on vegetable gardening four courses are beng offered thi year," Twelve lectures, given Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of each week will l devoted to the problem con nected with commercial vegetable- growing, dealing with such imriam products as celery, tomatoes, nspara gus, rhubarb, onions, caulillower am cabbage. Special consideration will lie given the matter of mil for these crops, fertilizers, cultivation, irrigation. blanching and storing. No matter how good a product we can crow, unless it I marketed Intel ligently and unless it is proerly graded, we will often be unable to realize the profit that we nix mid le able to make," savs Prof. Lewis. "One of the greatest problems before the Oregon vegetable grower at the present time is the proper marketing of vegetables. The various market of the itate will be considered in a course given on the same day as the commercial vegetable course, Secial attention will be given to grading packing and marketing the most im portant vegetables raised in Oregon in such a way as to realize the best returns." OREGON IN TIMBER COLUMN May Soon Occupy Third Place a Lumber Producing State. Salem Declaring that Oregon stands pre-eminent among the states in forest wealth; that of the total amount of timber in the United States, this state has one-fifth, and that it now stands fourth among the states in its lumber cut, the preface of the remrt of the State Board of Forestry further de clare that this state probably will ad vance to the thinl place next year. 'It is extremely difficult to convey any idea of the mngnitude of Oregon's forest resources by quoting figure in terms of hoard feet or acre of limber land," states the report. "This point can. however, tie brought out empha tically by comparison with the forest resources in the other timbered re gions of the United State. Statistics prove that Oregon has almost twice as much timber as is found in all New England, Pennylvania, Michigan, V isconsin and Minnesota, a territory commonly known as the great northern forest region. "The central forest re gion, extending from Nmthern Michi gan to Southern Tcnne-tsce. and from the wi-st slope of the Appalachian mountains westward to the. prairies has long been famous as a source of our hardwood, yet it contains on v half the amount of standing timber as does Oregon.
