OREGON TO BUILD FIRST
Panama Exposition Work to B Com
pleted Early.
Eugene. "Oregon first," In the let
ting of contract and erecting of a
building on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific
exposition, is the reason
for a meeting In Portland of the Ore
gon commission, the state officers
who picked the commission, and two
score representatives of the various
industrial, educational and other in
terests of the state. Six architects
are to present their plans for the
proposed building, and it is expected,
out of the multitude of counsel, to be
able at that meeting to select the de
sign for the Oregon building.
Extracting Gold From Sand.
Marshfield. A machine for the ex
traction of gold and platinum from
black sands, which has been operated
on the beach near Coos Bay, haa been
largely perfected by the inventors.
They declare that it is the only ma
chine which will successfully save the
precious metals from the sands. The
machine uses centrifugal force in
stead of gravity as a means of sep
arating the gold and other metals
from the sand, -v W 4
Dairy Experts to Work
Corvallis. The dairy division of tha
United States department of agricul
ture will co-operate with the Oregon
Agricultural college in providing ex
tension service along dairy lines In

fect was reached at a conference be

modern hard-surface highway on a
grade not to exceed 5 per cent, which
wfc. connect Coos Bay with the South
ern Pacific Highway at Roseburg. The

country. It will traverse a rich agri
cultural section and enable the mar
keting of vegetable and fruit grown
In the district.
LAND LOCATORS DODGE LAW
Many Homesteaders Are Defrauded,
Says Official.
Eugene. Fraudulent homestead lo
cators are at work in the Siuslaw
forest, according to Assistant Super
visor Fittom. These professional lo
cators, one of whom according to Mr.
Fittom, has an agent in Portland to
send prospective settlers this way,
take the unwary homeseeker to a
piece of agricultural land that is sub
ject to entry, and the victim, after
paying a fee of from (5 to $50, returns
to the forestry office in Eugene only
to find that a dozen or more other
persons have already filed on this
particular tract of land.
The fraud is possible because the
official surveyors are behind in the
work of running lines on lands that
are being homesteaded. The "locat
ors" are careful to show their cus
tomers tracts of land that are indeed
subject to entry, but they neglect to
say to how many other persons they
have already shown the same land.
The fact that these "locators" show
real vacant land makes it difficult for
the officials to make a charge that
' would stand in court.
Prisoner Is Well Paid.
Roseburg. Charles Howard, an al
leged bootlegger, who is serving an
indefinite term in the county Jail for
contempt of court following his refusal-
to reveal to the grand Jury the
names of 13 places where he is alleg
ed to have secured liquor illegally,
Informed the officers that he was be
fng paid (20 a day by those whom he
was protecting..

000. The greater part of the crop has

Thaw's Weapon is Used Against Him
Sherbrooke, . Quebec. Harry K.
Thaw's favorite, though ineffective,
weapon in the New York courta the

PATRIOTIC WAVE
SWEEPS MEXICO
Mexico City. A wave of patriotism
is said to be sweeping over Mexico,
and from many states and from all
classes, it is announced, assurances
of allegiance and offers of service are
being received daily by President Hu
erta and his minister of war.
The war department has been called
on to furnish military Instructors to
a dozen cities, where the fear of be
ing Impressed for service against the
revolutionists has given away before
a later patriotic ardor. I - f
In addition to the students of the
preparatory . schools, where military
instruction has been enforced for
some time, the manual of arms Is be
ing taught workers who are attending
night schools and the employes of the
tax department, t 4
The excitement among American
residents over President Wilson's
warning subsided to a large degree
over Sunday. A limited number of
persons left on trains to Vera Cruz
and the opinion is growing that the
warning, so far as regards the large
centers, will not be generally obeyed
unless further Information of definite
character Is forthcoming.

BRIEF NEWS OF OREGON

that the recent rain killed the little
red spltlrra which do great damage
to the crops.
roriliind Is to have a milk show.
September Zl to 37. Its prime ob
jects will be to demonstrate the great j
food value of milk aud the denger of .
unsanitary dairying.
In lieu of her first two pupplea, '
which died a few days after they were
whelped, two orphan kittens have been
adopted by a fox terrier belonging to
a liverymuu of Salem.
The $10 round trip rate from Sn
Francisco, Snrratuvato and points
north to Klumath Falls will be on sale .
September 12 and 13 and will be good
for return within two week. j
Well known business men, and farm-;
era slept on cots in the street in front
of the Round-up ticket office at Pen
dleton, in order to be the first to pur
chase tickets when the sale began
at 7 o'clock last Monday morning.
To be shot at, the shot missing her
but frightening her horse so that she
wrs thrown from the saddle and drag
ged by the stirrup until badly Injured
was the story told by aged Mrs. John
Olbrich, who came to Baker from Big
Creek to report to the grand Jury. j
Sergeant James H. Wolford, of Ore
gon's Fourth Coast Artillery Reserve,
lauded one of the 11 honor places on
the United States team that will de-.
fend the Palma trophy In the Sep-,
tember 6 tight with Canada, Sweden
and other countries. j
Oregon hunters are threatened with
a big cut in their open season on
ducks, geese and other shore birds, If ,
the new federal game law Is approved j
by President Wilson as It passed con- .
gross. Oregon sportsmen will be al-'
lowed to shoot only between Septem
ber 15 and December 15.
One of the beat fruit deals In the
Rogue River valley for this year was
made by Fred Hopkins, of Medford, '.
when through the Producers' Fruit
company he sold his entire "crop of
Winter Nellls pears, 7500 boxes, from
14 acres, to London and Glasgow fruit
dealers for aproxlmately $20,000.
A peculiar malady seems to have In
fected the Jack rabbits of the Eastern
Oregon section. Rabbits are dying by
the thousands. When overtaken by
the disease the rabbits crawl into the
first hole they find and die there. In
many badger holes as many as halt
a dozen dead rabbits have been found.
A huge tract of timber land, lying
20 miles north of Medford, comprising
4500 acres, has been sold to the Ben
ton Lumber company of Redding, Tot
$100,000. The new owners will im
mediately begin the construction of a
$25,000 fruit box factory that Is to
supply apple and pear boxes for the
entire valley.
That some system should be devis
ed to postpone the first payments ot
settlers on government reclamation
projects until after the land haa be
gun to produce and that their burdens
should otherwise be lightened. Is the
opinion of Will. R. King, ex-Justice of
the Oregon Supreme Court, now chief
counsel for the United States recla
mation service.
A power and water system covering
towns from Stayton to Salem Is being
promoted by Idaho and Spokane men.
The proposal is to bring water from
the North Fork of the Santlam with
which to supply Salem, Stayton, Aums
vllle and the state Institutions, also
they are promoting an electric light
ing system and trolley line through
Stayton and Aumsvllle to Salem.
The movement for city ownership of
the water and lights haB been renewed
at Klamath Falls for two reasons. One
Is that the rates for water for Irriga
tion prevent as free use of water for
that purpose as would follow lower
-ates. This prevents the planting of
treeB and reduces the number of lawns,
thus keeping back the work of beau
tifying the city.
A movement has been started to
secure the closing ot Mill Slough, a
small tidal estuary which reaches
back through the center of Marsh
field, dividing the town into two parts
and Just at this time the matter is at
tracting more attenion that usual be
cause of the Important bearing It haa
on railroad construction, and the mat
ter will be taken up with the Oregon
delegation to secure special legisla
tion by congress.
Notwithstanding the efforts of Rep
resentative Slnnott and other mem
bers of the Oregon delegation to get
some relief for settlers on lands un
surveyed and unopened to entry there
seems to be no relief for them. The
general land office has ruled that the
statute governs and that if they leave
claims they must do so at their own
risk. This ruling affects a large num
ber of Oregon entrymen.
Oswald West, governor, and A. M.
Crawford, attorney-general of Oregon,
have been summoned to appear In the
United States district court at Port
land September 16, to answer a com
plaint in the suit of E. J. Barnes and
58 others against the Southern Ore
gon company and themselves as offi
cials of the state of Oregon. The 69
complainants are people who desire
that land granted by congress In 1869
to the state of Oregon be disposed of
according to the terms of the grant
Five Solid Reasons
--TfllVE solid reasons why each farm
1 Wifj nce's a n,anure spreader are these,
kSt in tha words of a farmer who has
devoted much time to correct soil
fecdintr. 1. It saves disairrccaMo
and hard work. 2. It pulverizes and mixes
the, manure mass. 3. It distributes manure
evenly over the field, insuring a good, even
, stand of crain, 4. It prevents loss of nitrogen
through fermentation or leaching 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 fluids 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.
1 1IC 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 of the load, insures ample tractive power. "
But see all these things yourself at your local
dealer's. Find your choice in the I II C line.
The dealer has catalogues for you, or, write the
