which he and Lady Hardinge had been
seated was blown to matchwood.

squeezed sponge," exclaimed Presi-
part of j dentelect Wilson when he returned
to run home after an all day's session in
Trenton with the state board of par
dons, over which, as governor, he
presided.
Governor Wilson's attention was
called to the recent discussion of par
don systems in Arkansas and other
states, and he was asked whether he
preferred that the state executive
have full responsibility or that the
pardoning twwer be lodged in a board
consisting, as in New Jersey, of the
governor and the chancellor and six
judges from the court of errors and
appeals. Though the governor has
the power of vetoing any application,
his affirmative counts no more than
that of the other members.
"I like the New Jersey system bet
ter," said Mr. Wilson. "I admire
verr much this court, as it is open
minded and certain to do the right
thing."

Motive for Attack Mystry.
London The motive for the attempt
on the life of Baron Hardinge, viceroy
of India, is a mystery on which it will
be impossible to hazard a guess until
it is known whether the miscreant is a
Hindu or a Mussulman. 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. The out
rages brought to light, are such as to
give rise to one of the most perplex
ing Latin-American problems with
which the State department has had
to deal, especially in view of the fact
that British corporations are the prin
cipal operators in Peruvian rubber.
For "Non-Partisan" Commission.
Washington, D. C. Senator Poin-
dexter, of Washington, after refusing
to give regard to the reports of the old
tariff" board when the various tariff
bills were under consideration in the
senate last session, has now prepared
and will introduce a bill creating what
he terms a "nonpartisan, high-class
Federal tariff commission."
Fight by Shoe Trust Starts.
Washington, D. C Solicitor-Gen
eral Bullett filed with the Supreme
court the government's brief askinir
for the reversal of the decision of the
Massachusetts Federal court dismiss
ing four of the five counts in the in
dictments returned under the Sherman
anti-trust law against the United Shoe
Machinery company. This brief
marks the opening of the legal fight
over the criminal prosecution of the
alleged trust.
Greek Army Routs Turl s.
Athens The Greek army has driven
the Turks from the Kiari defile, where
they entrenched after their defeat at
Gorilla. The Greeks are rontininr.c

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. As there
was but a single nominee for each
office, the following are the probable
officers: E. J. McCIanahan, Eugene.
president; H. Ringhouse, Clackamas,
vice president; B. F. 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.
