Briefly Chronicled
Sailors Ashore, from the battle
ships at Seattle, took umbrage at the
sneering remarks of the I.W. W. speak
rs, filled up with bad liquor and pro
ceeded to wreck the quarters of the I.
W. W. Socialists and by mistake the
Salvation Army headquarters. It is
aid that the civilians helped them and
that the police did nothing to prevent.
Mayor Cotteril endeavored to suppress
the Seattle Times but the courts inter
vened in time to get the paper on the
streets as usual. The Socialists have
prepared a memorial accusing Secre
tary Daniels of making an inflamma
tory speech at the Ranier club which
incited the sailors. Seattle will event
ually have to foot the bill.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean gives
great praise to the Oregon Conserva
tion Commission for its protest against
state control of forest reserves.
The Debate in the Senate on the
tariff is now in full swing and it is
rumored that there is a break in the
ranks of the democrats, but this is
strenuously denied by administration
papers, which claim that the bill will
pass practically as reported by the
committee.

The Prohibitionists are organizing
for a strenuous campaign in Oregon

The Turks are advancing on Adrain
ople, which they were lately compelled
to give up, taking advantage of the
row between their conquerors.
The Atrocities committed by the
Bulgarians put at rest all talk about
their becoming civilized. The wildest
tales of ancient times do not equal the
undisputed facts sent out by the op

Judge Van Vleet Rejected the
report of the federal grand jury in the
Diggs-Caminetti case at San Francisco
for the reason that it reflected on the
course of the administration in accept
ing McNab's resignation. Another re

The Panama Canal is reported as
about 98 completed. The govern
ment offices on the lake are being re
moved as the rising waters threaten to
enmilf them. Arrangements are being
made to beautify the entire length of
the canal making it a magnificent park.
The Post Okeice officials are ex

two smaller zones instead of 11 and are
considering the purchase of motor cars
for distribution in the larger centers.
Harry Lane Wilson, consul to Mex
ico arrived in Washington today and
will explain the condition of affairs in
the Mexican capital. Upon the rcort
of Mr. Wilson will likely deond the
action of this government towards the
Huerta regime and perhaps settle the
question of whether or no it is time for
the United States to intervene. For
eign governments are becoming re
stive under the continual restraint
of the capital which their people have
invested in that unfortunate country
and apparently making ready to insist
on this country preserving or restoring
peace to Mexico, or permitting them to
do so.

Senator Chamberlain threatened
revolt on the tariff question because, as
he said, the bill discriminated against
his state. He was induced to withdraw
his remarks and they will not appear
in the record.
The Western Pacific, it is said,
will build many branch lines of which
the Boise-Winnemucca will be one.
The Los Angeles Examiner says
of the currency bill: "The new sys
tems, the new financial egg which is
laid by the Democratic hen, is a com
plicated attempt to solve the unsolvable,
a feeble sort of an effort to check the
hopeless private bank system, combin
ed with the equally foolish effort to
lift one's self by the boot straps. The
banks are to loan money on what is
called good security. And that good
security is the bank's assets. And the
banks' assets are cheifly WHAT PEO
PLE OWE THE BANKS. Therefore,
we call it the public debt, an asset,
and loan money on DEBT, instead of
calling actual property an asset and
loaning money on actual property."
FRUIT PRICES
RANGE HIGH
High prices tor deciduous fruits in
eastern markets and a bumper yield in
the Northwest have combined to make
prospects exceedingly bright for farm
ers in Oregon and Washington. Ship
ments from California have brought
from $l.r)00 to $2000 per car, with an
estimated yield of 14,000 cars to be
shipped from the State. On the basis
of present prices the revenue from
these 14,000 cars will be $28,000,000,
Taking this as an index, Oregon and
Washington crops should also yield a
sum which go a long way to keep the
wheels of prosperity turning.
C. J. Jones, General Freight Agent
of the Southern Pacific company states
that the price level on deciduous fruits
in the East is quite high this year and
because of the shortage in eastern
fields promises to continue bo. He
says that the record sale for cherries
was that of 20 cars which grossed over
$('.), 000. One car, alone, sold for over
$4,000.
Railroad companies aro calling upon
shippers to co-operate that there may
be a full supply of cars. If cars are
loaded and unloaded promptly, there
will be plenty to go around, but only
prompt release of cars once loaded will
allow the crop to move easily and rap
idly. An especial appeal is made at
this time to prevent congestion and
it is believed that users of railroad
equipment will respond.

PORTLAND MEN
RAISE FUNDS TO
ASSISTFARMERS
Commercial Club Has Start
ed Campaign to Establish
Free Markets so That the
Producer can Dispose of
His Goods to Better Advantage
That the policy of the Portland Com
mercial Club to continue the campaign
of farm development throughout the
state is in high favor with the business
interests of the city is evidenced by the
fact that the present campaign has met
with more prompt and favorable sup
port among property owners of Port
land than any movement of like nature
that has been conducted in the past.
A few weeks ago the commercial
club set out to raise a fund of $150,000,
to be expended in development work
throughout Oregon during the next
three years, and so successful has been
the effort that at the present the fund
is well above the $100,000 mark and it
is believed by those having the cam
paign in charge that the full sum will
be pledged within the next month. In
the list of those who have given definite
sums are 160 firms and individu
als representing virtually every branch
of business activity in the city.
The fact that onions from Texas,
potatoes from California, and eggs and
poultry from points outside of Oregon
are being received in Portland in car
load lots, while the farmers in the im
mediate vicinity of the city, as well as
those tributary to the railroads leading
to this market, cannot find a market
for their produce at any price has led
the Portland Realty Board to actively
take up the question of establishing
public markets where gardeners and
farmers may dispose of their products
direct to the consumer with great ben
efit to both. It is stated that the fact
that farmers cannot sell their own
crops in Portland without a license, and
the further fact that the commission
men will not buy from him except at
their own prices, is causing many far
mers to allow fruits and vegetables to
go to waste rather than dispose of them
at a loss.
Attention has recently been called,
by the Oregon Agricultural College, to
the fact that many farmers who are so
unfortunate as to have hay injured or
spoiled by rain are making the mistake
of either burning it in the field or al
lowing it to rot in piles. It is stated
that spoiled clover or alfalfa hay is
worth $8.50 to $10 per ton as a fertil
izer if evenly spread over the fields and
plowed under, and that every ton of
hay so worked into the soil is approxi
mately worth four tons of manure. A
ton of clover hay contains 40 pounds of
nitrogen, 5 pounds of phosphorus, and
30 pounds of potash, which, if purchas
ed in the open market would cost the
farmer about $10.50, and as clover and
vetch is yielding about 24 tons per acre
this season, the plowing under of the
spoiled hay adds a fertilizer value of
not less than $25 to each acre.

set forth that the murder had extenuat

invaded the sanctity of Adams' home.
Adams was sentenced to be hanged
last Friday.
There is not a county in the state in
which all the automobiles registered
last year have been registered this
year, according to Secretary of State
Ben W. Olcott. Sheriff Will C. Smith
of Josephine county is the only sheriff
in the state who has written to the
secretary of state asking for a list of
the owners of these unregistered ma
chines. He says he is going to see
that they buy this years's licenses.
Secretary Olcott points out that
Sheriff Smith's county will be the
gainer by the sheriff's activity, as a
new law provides that each county's
proportion of automobile license money
shall be returned to the county for use
in keeping up the roads.
To stop excessive expense accounts
by agents of the state sent to other
states for persons wanted on criminal
charges, a number of which have been
turned into the secretary of state's
office recently, Secretary of State Ol
cott has laid down a number of rules
to apply in all extradition cases. These
rules state that only the claims of
agents designated by the governor will
be recognized, that each expense must
be clearly itemized, that travel must
be over the shortest routes, that all
claims must be examined and approved
by the district attorney applying for
the requisition, and that "gratuities of
any sort or any expenses of a personal
nature will not be edited."
More than 600 men will patrol the
Oregon forests during the dry season
this year, according to State Forester
F. A. Elliott, who is now appointing
the 00 patrolmen whose salaries are to
be paid by the federal government.
The state has 27 wardens and patrol
men, and the remainder of the forest
guards will be employed by forest fire
associations and individual timber own
ers. So far this season not a serious
forest fire has occurred, and the state
forester says the timber owners are
better organized to guard against fires
and to fight thern if any should start
than ever before. The late rains have
been very favorable for the protection
of the timber, but the present dry
spell is rapidly changing this condition.
The state railroad commission has
promulgated new rules regulating rail
road crossings in the state. At every
point where two railroad lines cross a
full stop of the train is required unless
an interlockingjsafety device has been
installed. This applies to every railroad
or street car crossing in the state.
About 1500 teachers' certificates are
being issued this week by State Super

VALE JUDGE DECIDES
IMPORTANT QUESTION
An important decision has been ren
dered by the City Recorder of Vale,
and the decision did not take as long as
an eastern court on the same ques
tion. The question of when is a man intox
icated has been before many courts and
most of them seem to agree on the
principal point and fine the man brought
before the court without deciding the
vexed question.
A man, whom we will for the nonce
call Q, was assisting a foreigner home,
there being no question but that the
said foreigner was under the influence,
seen by the guardian of the peace and
dignity of the city, said guardian sought
to arrest the foreigner, but was re
sisted by Q, with the result that Q was
taken under the protecting wing of
aforesaid guardian, while the real drunk
escaped.
Q objected to going to the "skookum
house," and they went into the most
convenient place where liquid intoxi
cants are offered and Q obtained bail in
the sum of $10, cash, and refused
to give a receipt for it at the solicita
tion of he who furnished said bail, re
senting the imputation that there was
difficulty in recovering anything that
was once taken in charge of the min
ions of the law.
The trial came off as scheduled, Q
being represented by two of the most
prominent of Vale's legal lights, the
city by its regular attorney.
Was Q drunk? No, said the witness.
When is a man drunk? When he is
down and cannot ask for more. How
no you know was not drunk? He
could still see. Was the man drunk?
Yes. How do you know? He had his
arms around the foreigner. Then a
man who has his arms around another
is intoxicated? Well, yes. How else
do you know it? By the way he expec
torated. Was Q drunk? Well, he had a few
drinks aboard. He could talk all right.
There was no doubt in the mind of
the Judge. Q was drunk $2.50 worth,
anyway. Such was the decision.
An eye witness to the arrest, who
was at the court, wanted to testify in
behalf of q. declaring that no man was
intoxicated who could hold up one fin
ger, ll.eiehy requesting the dispenser
to charge it.
An eastern Judge insisted that a man
who had one drink was intoxicated I
lint a I ' 1
teenis a singular unanimii.. I
oi opinion among the Judges that the
I party brought before then, should be
j lined.

HEAVY EECTRICAL
STORM IN COUNTY
Electricity was greatly in evidence
Wednesday evening, and performed
many of its forceful and ungentle
pranks.
At the old Glenn place, west of Vale,
a young girl was sitting in. a swing at
tached to the limb of a large tree. A
bolt from the passing storm struck the
tree and violently hurled the girl from
the swing to the ground, giving her a
serious, though not fatal shock.
James Harvey's residence was struck
by lightning, giving it a sad twist, arfd
tearing the window casings from one of
the windows without breaking the
glass.
Reports are continually arriving indi
cating severe rains throughout the up
per country, and general damage to the
roads on Bully creek and Willow river.
MALHEUR RIVER RAISING FAST
That there has been a big cloud burst
above Vale on the Malheur is evidenced
by the rise of the river which is up
within a few feet of the foot bridge.
It is reported that a wagon and tent,
all set up, passed Vale about 10 a. m.
Telephone connection is cut and in
formation is not available.
EMBEZZLER ARRESTED
