Girl Saved From Drowning Father
Eugene. Rushing Into the swift
current of the Willamette river to her
armpits, Mrs. K. C Welch fought for
several minutes to rescue her 19 year
old daughter from the clutches of her
drowning husband. Sitting on the
bank, she saw her husband suddenly
begin to drag the daughter, Eva Welch
whom he was teaching to swim, out
Into the deep current. Three times

LARGE CROP OF SUCKERS
Government Agent Finds 20,000 Have
Been Fooled by Crooked Locator
Portland. Investigation of fraudu
lent locators who located victims on
tracts In the railroad land grant which
was recently declared forfeited to the
government will continue for several
weeks. The fraud has been so exten
sive and there are so many victims
and locators that the government au
thorities have a veritable mine of evi
dence. During the time the government was
preparing the bring suit for forfeiture
of the many millions of acres In the
land grant the country was flooded
with the advertisements of men who
offered to locate people on choice sec
tions which they could buy for $2.50
an acre, either from the railroad or
the government depending which wou
the suit Thousands of people became
Interested and accepted the offers.
There then sprang up a crop of loca
tors, who would locate a victim on a
likely-looking tract of timber and
charge a substantial fee for the trou
ble. There are Instances where a doi
en or even 20 people have been located
on the same identical tract of timber,
and the locators charged anything
they could get
As near as the officials have been
able to learn, there have been 20,000
locations made.

BRIEF NEWS OF OREGON
Maury I. Diggs, one of the defend
ants In the famous California white
alave case, who was convicted.
ANXIETY FELT IN MEXICO
Swift Break Predicted If Congress De
bates President's Statement
Mexico City. The keenest anxiety
was manifested in the capital as to
what will be the development ol me
undertaking of the United States gov
ernment in Mexico's Internal affairs.
Mexico's attitude is one of waiting,
while the people resident here, both
native and foreign, are displaying deep
apprehension.
Rumors are that Huerta la still con
sidering resigning In favor of General
Trevlno, but there Is no sound basis
for this assertion. The public opinion
is expressed here that there will be a
swift culmination of all peaceable re
lations If congress is given an oppor
tunity for free debate on president
Wilson's statement of the facts In the
case.
(,000,000 Pounds of Salmon Canned
Astoria. The spring salmon fishing
season on the Columbia river, which
Just closed, will be the poorest in
mfcny years. This is escially true
of the lower river district. Plants on
the upper river did much better.
A conservative estimate of the
amount nut uo places the canned pack
at 230,000 cases, "as they run," or ap
proximately 149.500 full cases. This
pack represents 9,000,000 pounds of
raw fish. The cold-storage pack totals
about 3450 tierces of 800 pounds of
cured fish, or a total of 4,895,000
pounds.
Flelshhackers Buy Out Pat Calhoun
San Francisco. The United Kail
roads of San Francisco, held by the
tlnited Railways Investment Company
of New Jersey, has been sold to a
local banking sy-.dicate, headed by
Mortimer Fleishhacker, of the Anglo-
California and London Bank.
The United Railroads has been un
der the personal management of Pat
rick Calhoun, who broke the great
strike of 1907, and thereby Incurred
th hatred of all the labor unions of
San Francisco. This hatred has been
used to boom the project for the es
tablishment of several municipal rail
roads, which was submitted to the
people for vote on Tuesday.

In the Underworld."
Portland. Replying to a letter from
a young woman who requested that
he help ber choose her fall gowns, to
Insure against purchase of any that
would violate his "X-ray" proscription,
Mayor Albee issued an open reply do
fending his order to the police to ar
rest all wearers of Immodest gowns.
"You will surely excuse this appeal"
wrote the mayor's fair questioner,
whose name the mayor withholds, "as
the notice did not give exact informa
tion in regard to the length and width.
As I am about to do my fall shopping
and afraid to transgress in the matter
of cut and style, would you kindly ac
company me and help me to select
proper apparel?"
"It probably is not known to the
good women of the city, some of whom
have adopted various of the late mod
els of dress for street attire, that the
most of these 'late affairs' find favor
in the undreworld. where the unfor
tunates who live there have seized
noon them as a means for furthering
their illegal business," Bays the mayor
Refuses to Whip Man
Klamath Falls. Sheriff Charles
Low delcared that he would refuse
to administer a whipping to William
Pew. who was convicted of wife beat
ing before Justice E. W. Gowen and
sentenced to 15 lashes. Upon being
informed that Justice Gowen had
threatened to institute contempt pro
ceedings if the sentence of the court
were not executed, Low said he would
serve a term in jail before he would
use the lash on Pew.

showed interest in the report from the
assembly districts throughout the
state, indicating that many of the up
state assemblymen who had opposed
his direct primary bill or had voted
for impeachment were being refused
designation by their party committees.
The governor declined to comment on
any of the changes being wrought in
the nersonnel of the assembly, but
seemed to take It for granted that pub
lic sentiment was strongly In bis favor.
The most significant changes in the
designations for the assembly is con
sidered the turn-down of Assembly
man T. K. Smith for another term by
Francis A. Hendricks, the Onondaga

Five Solid Reasons
fCTiIVE solid reasons why cacn mm
XS H I need a. manure snreacliT are these.
in tho words o( a farmer who has
devoted much time to correct soil
fecdine. 1. It saves disacreeablo
and hard work. 2. It pulverizes and mixes
the manure mass. 3. It distributes manure
evenly over the field, insuring a ood, even
Btand of Rrain. 4. It prevents loss of nitrogen
through fermentation or leachine in the pile
when manure is hauled directly from the stable.
5. Indirectly, the ease with which it can be
handled encourages the owner to care for the
manure and distribute it on the fields care
fully instead of wasting; it.
I H C Manure Spreaders
will work uncomplainingly for years making
profits for the owners. You will find them all
styles and sizes, high and low, endless apron
or reverse.
I IIC manure spreaders are exceedingly
durable, strong, correctly built to stand all con
ditions and all strains they may meet Each
feature has its purpose. Up hill or down or
cutting corners, they spread all kinds of
manure evenly, in a light or heavy coat at
the will of the driver. The beater drive is
strong and simple, beater teeth are square and
chisel pointed to pulverize the manure, and
the large diameter of the beater prevents wind
ing. The rear axle, carrying a large percent
age f the load, insures ample tractive power.
