Roosevelt Party looses
Equipment and Specimens
New York — The loss of all the
equipment of Theodore Roosevelt’s
party in the unexplored wilds of Cen
tral Brazil is reported In a cable mes
sage from Anthony Fiala. a member
of the party, to the New York Times.
The message, dated at Santarem, Bra
zil. follows:
‘‘We have lost everything in the
rapids. Telephone my wife of my
safety.”
The rapids mentioned are presumed
to be those of a tributary of the Am
azon river.
Members of the Roosevelt family
here had received no advices from
Colonel Roosevelt, but expressed no
concern for his safety.
In fact, Mr. Fiala's silence on the
subject was held to Indicate that the
lose waa confined to the equipment and
the archaeological and other specimens
gathered by the expedition.
It was said by the Times that any
personal injury to the colonel waa to
be cabled immediately and fully.
Higher Wages Opposed.
Washington, D. C.—Secretary Dan
iels told the house labor committee he
opposed the Maher bill to fix arbitrary
rates of pay for government Inaehin-
ists in navy yards.
“The wages paid by the govern
ment," said Secretary Daniels, "are
as good, or a little better, on the aver
age, than in private yards. But if we
make the wages too high it will not
benefit the men, because congress re
quires that we send our work where it
can be done cheapest and if private
yards are paying leas money they will
get the business."
Llama Will Sail Again.
New York—The llama which arrived
here last Sunday by the steamship
Verdi from Buenos Ayres, consigned
to William J. Bryan, will be deported
on the Verdi, not back to South Amer
ica, but to England.
At least it will
start for England, but before now, it
is said, dead llamas have been found
floating in from the three-mile limit
after they had been rejected by the
livestock quarantine inspectors. Mem
bers of the crew think that the in
spector is mistaken in saying the ani
mal had the foot and mouth disease.
Highway Bill Reported.
Washington, D. C. —The house bill
providing for highway work in con
junction with the states waa favorably
reported to the senate by the agricul
tural committee. It would also appro
priate $1,000,000 for 1914 and auth
orize an appropriation of $4,090,000
for 1915, with additional yearly in
creases until 1921, when the amount
authorized would be $10,000,000.
Pacific Northwest to Surpass All
Records This Year.
Prospectivo Crop Estimated at 70,-
000,000 Bushels -Increase Over
1913 14,000,000 Bushels.
Portland—The states of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will produce a
bumper crop of wheat this year, and
unless all signs fail, the yield will be
a record-breaker. Experienced grain
men predict an output of at least 70,-
009,000 bushels of this cereal in the
Pacific Northwest.
These views are based on the re
markably fine condition of the winter
wheat crop in the three states. From
the date of planting to the present
time, all conditions of climate, coll
and moisture have been ideal.
From
every point in the Northwest comes
an uniform report of perfect growing
weather and fine stand.
The Increase in acreage has been
more extensive than expected, averag
ing perhaps close to 10 per cent
throughout the entire territory.
The Northwest last year turned off
a wheat crop of about 56,000,000
bushels. The record yield heretofore
has been Ofi.OOO.OfO bushols.
This year the three states will come
up to this latter figure and without
doubt will exceed It.
Spring wheat sowing Is now in
progress In ail sections, and general
conditions could not be better for this
operation. Prospects for barley, oata,
forage and fruits of all kinds are en
tirely satisfactory.
In the Columbia river counties of
Oregon, the Indications are the beat in
years. Sherman county has a 40 per
cent Increase In winter wheat acreage
and there Is promise of a 5,000,000-
bushel crop.
Gilliam
has also a
largo gain In planting and farmers ex
pect more than 8,500,000 bushels of
wheat. Wasco has record prospects
and Umatilla will improve on its 6,-
000,000-bushel
crop of last year.
Union reports a 15 per cent gain in
eight
Throughout the winter wheat sec
tions of Washington, the outlook Is a
rosy one. Lincoln county, the banner
wheat eounty of the West which last
year produced more than 8,600,000
bushels, gives indications of a crop
thia year 25 per cent heavier.
The Walla Walla country, the grain
sections around Dayton. Prosser, Ritz
ville and Preecott, will have, from
prenent prospects, record crops. Big
Bend reports are favorable, and so Is
the outlook In the Goldendale district.
Similar renorta come from the ce
real section
Idaho.
The Lewiston
country has increased Its acreage 15
per cent and the grain la having a re

Pet Ants Are Barred

Washington, D. C.—Mrs. C. W.
