Tarrytown,' N. Y., July 8.-John Ii.
Rockefeller, Oil King and "the 1 idl
est man in the .world, "today id cele
brating hit seventy-fifth birthday.
Pboause it was fluted that the "Free
Speechers," the I. W. W.'i and the
Ferrer anarchists might pWt today
as a good one for another demonstra
tion against Rockefeller because of
his attitude in the recent Colorado
strike war, a heavier guard than
usual was placed about the great
mansion in Pocantico Hills. The Oil
King's son, John J. Jr., was expected
to spend the day here with his fath
er,. . .,
Hundreds of telegrams and mes
sages of congratulations poured into
the Rockefeller home today from all
sections of the globe, where Rocke
feller has business and personal
friends. Many messages came from
royalty and the crown heads of Eu
rope. Rockefeller on his seventy-
sixth birthday is accredited with a
fortune of close to a billion, thus
making him the only billionaire in
the world. The assessment of his
property in Cleveland some months
ago, when he refused to pay taxes
there, placed) his holdings far in ex
cess of $800,000,000. '

Oregon Packing Company Loading
Cars Here for Portland
This morning a carload of Royal
Annes, bought by the Oregon Packing
company through D. M. Clark, local
agent, was shipped to Portland to be
u:ed for canning purposes there. An
other car is being loaded and the
Royal Annes and Centennials will be
coming in rapidly for the next fow

grown as the Cove crops this year
wi be barreled for maraschino pur
poses at Cove and shipped direct to
Portland, and such cherries as are
ur suited for maraschinos will be sent
to Portland in bulk.
F. George is in charge of the lo

ter the cherries were hauled over
from Cove In the bulk.
Battleship Checks Arrive.
Washington, July 8. The battle
ships, Idaho and Mississippi were
formally sold today to Greece. Sec
retary Daniels has received a check
for $12,545,275 which is just what the
i vessels originally cost. Though far
'from obsolete, the Idaho and! Missis-
sippi are not of the latest construc
tion nnd when Greece's offer was re
ceived Daniels decided that the tran
saction would be a desirable one and
the money was to be used to provide
the United States with a new dread
r.aught of the latest and most power
ful type. The president agreed and
congress indorsed the bargain. The
president said when he approved the
bill that he would have opposed it,
had it been the intention of Greece
to use the vessels for immediate war
purposes.
