REACHES ALL OVER WORLD
Information From Far-Off . Lands
Helps to Compound American
Weather Bulletins Origin
and Growth of System.
HI FREDERIC J. HASKIX.
WASHINGTON", April 28. (Special Cor
respondence.) Through the agency of the
Weather Bureau 2,000.000 American farm
ers are placed in telephonic communica
tion every day with hundreds of trained
observer In the ends of the earth whose
combined knowledge and experience
enable thorn to tell these farmers how
to care for their crops. Through the
same agency the mariners of the Unit
ed States are warned of the dangers of
approaching storms. Through the same
agency the dwellers in great river valleys
.are cautioned when there is a flood de
scending upon them.
The Associated Press is looked upon as
the greatest information-collecting agency
In the world. But does the Associated
Press hear each day from Seydisljord,
Iceland? The Weather Bureau does. Also
.'rom St. Petersburg in Russia, from
Irkutsk in Siberia, from the Azores Is-
'ands. from the Bermudas, from the
Flrltish Isles, from nearly every country
In Europe, from the West Tndlea, from
dozens of places in Mexico, from scores in
Canada and from more than cities in
the United States.
Those AVho lo Not Sneer.
The information which comes to the
central office of the Weather Bureau in
Washington from all these jilaces enables
the forecaster to venture a prediction
about what the weather will be for the
next 36 or 4S hours. Sometimes the fore
caster does not hit it, and there is a
pretty general disposition among readers
bf newspapers in cities to sneer at '01d
1'rob." The fruit-grower of Florida, the
cranberry-grower of New Jersey, the
mitrlner of the Great Lakes, the tobacco-
planter of the Middle South these and
many other classes of Americans remem
ber how many millions of dollars the
Weather Bureau's predictions have saved
them. They do not sneer. Those per
sons who have been induced to move
back from the banks of the Ohio and Mis
Flssfppt Rivers because of a Weather
Bureau flood warning and have seen tne
height of the flood's crest predicted to
within a few inches days and even weeks
In advance they do not sneer. ,
All Know Weather Ahead.
Every dally newspaper in the United
States prints each day the official wea
ther forecast. If It is left out by ac
cident. the subscribers are sure to register
a "kick." The. forecast cards are sent to
thousands and thousands of persons to
whom they will get' in' time to be of
benefit, and are posted in every Postofftce
which can.be reached by them. .Ijlttle
cards with the forecast stamped on them
are sent out from central Postoffices
along every rural free delivery route in
the country where the carrier leaves late
enough in the day to carry that day s
forecast. Through the medium of the
newspapers, the flags and lanterns dis
played and the cards posted, every city
dweller in the United States may have
the benellt or the weatner lorecaai wnn
out any particular effort or expense.
Weather Bulletins by Phone.
But the farmer is the man who needs
the information most, and it is to reach
the farmer that Proressor Willis I... Moore
and his assistants are (striving. The tele
phone has solved the problem in the
Middle West and along: tne Atlantic
'i'oast. Its rapid extension thrmigh rural
districts makes it of increasing impor
tance each day. Telephone companies
are requested to aid the bureau in the
dissemination of this useful information.
Most of them gladly accede. Some of
them refuse and want money. Those
who go In for co-operation advertise the
connection with the "weather service as
a feature to induce farmers to become
telephone subscribers. The telephone
service is managed In this fashion: The
nearest official weather office telephones
to the central office of the telephone sys
tem the forecast, it is then distributed
to each central exchange in the system,
and "central." ever obliging, will be de
lighted to tell any inquirer over the
'phone what the weather outlook may
be. In case of a hurricane or cold wave
warning, there is a general call and
each subscriber is informed, so that, he
may have ample time to protect himself,
his stock and his crops.
Guarding; Against Frost.
If it Is & cold wave warning, the citrus
grower in Florida or California who fears
the calamity of a frost will protect his
orange and lemon trees by building
smudge fires and making a cloud of
smoke that will hang like a mantle over
the orchard and prevent frost. If it is
the cranberry-grower of New Jersey or
Wisconsin, he will flood his bogs and go
to sleep, for only a heavy freeze can
hurt his crop. If it is the tobacco-planter,
he will cover his young plants with can
vas and keep out the cold. The straw
berry gardener will throw straw over
his beds. All of them will sleep tight,
for Uncle Sam's Weather Bureau has
heard from the four corners of the world
that day: it has found where the storms"
are and In what direction they are travel
ing, where the "low" and "high" at
mospheric pressures are and where those
centers are traveling: and from all this
the bureau has deduced the information
which has saved' that farmer's year's
work from destruction. Ioes the farmer
eneer at "old prob"? Not much!
Gathering Weather News,
The S's) regularly equipped observatories
In the country are supplemented by more
than voluntary co-operative stations
at which temperature and rainfall ob
servations are taken. Besides the dally
weather forecasts, based upon the ob
servations taken twice daily at 8 A. M.
and S P. M.. Washington time, the
Weather Bureau issues a daily map from
each of its principal stations showing in
detail the atmospheric conditions over the
country obtaining each morning. A
monthly weather review is issued, show
ing the weather conditions for the month
over the United States and adjoining
countries and containing elaborate
meteorological charts and tables. In the
cllmatologtcal service there are 44 sec
tions, nearly corresponding to the states,
of the Union, and these compile and pub
lish each month bulletins showing in de
tail the climatic conditions for the month
of each of the sections In addition to
these the bureau issues occasional bulle
tins containing the larger reports made
by the experts in the various branches
of the service.
Scientific knowledge and mechanical
ingenuity ha combined to five the
weather student the use of the most deli
cate and accurate instruments for meas
uring and recording the atmospheric pres
sure, the temperature, the direction and
velocity of the wind, the variations of
sunshine and clouds, the fall of rain or
snow. The barometer on the roof of a
high building records with exactness
every variation of the atmospheric pres
sure on a continuous record in the office
below it. And so with the thermometers
and other instruments, of which there are
many types and the number of which is
constantly Increasing. There is such a
thing as a self-recording sun dial, which
keeps a record of the sunlight and clouds
for a month at a time on blue print
paper. At the volunteer stations the
rainfall is measured In a simple raln
guage. which has a funnel-shaped mouth
leading into a vessel of exactly one-tenth
the superficial area of the mouth of the
funnel.. The water in this vessel is meas
ured, and if there Is ten inches of water
In it. the rainfall has been one inch. At
the more important stations, the rainfall
Is measured by self-recording instru
ments which are graduated to one-hundredth
of an inch.
The Weather Bureau costs Uncle Sam
about W.500,000 a year. Over against this
may be eet the fact that a single cold
wave warning once saved t3.500.0U01 worth
of property, that a flood warning saved
515.000.000 worth of property and many
lives in the Mississippi Valley, that storm
warnings displayed one day detained in
port coast vessels with their caries
valued at J30.000.000, which otherwise
would have had to reckon with one of
the most terrific hurricanes ever known
on the Atlantic.
Men Who Head Service.
The daily service of weather predic
tions was begun in the United States in
1570 by the Signal Corps of the Army and
at first was designed to aid the navigators
of the Great Lakes and the Atlantic
Coast. Its scope and purpose were
gradually enlarged and in 1891 it became
a branch of the Department of Agricul
ture under the name of the Weather
Bureau. Under the Army regime the
heads of the service were Generals Myer,
Drum. Hazen and Greely, and under the
Department of Agriculture. Professors
Harrington and Moore. Professor Moore,
the present chief, has been conducting
the affairs of the bureau since July, 1S93.
The work of the service has grown con
stantly, and in the past few years, thanks
to rural free delivery and the telephone.
It has increased its scope to a wonderful
degree. Each day the observations taken
the dav before are added to the stock
of knowledge of the experts, and with
each day the errors arising from inade
quate knowledge are fewer. The service
is becoming more and more efficient, and
while It never will . be perfect and in
fallible, it is destined to have a great
share in the continued prosperity of the
country.
First Weather Forecasters.
To the United States belongs much of
the credit for the development of the
science of meteorology. Benjamin Frank
lin, by means of his own observations and
his private correspondence, round mat
storms moved northeastward rrom r-nua
dclphia toward New England. Thomas
.Icffenson at Monticello and James Madi
son at Williamsburg, in Virginia, took a
series of simultaneous observations in the
years 1772-1777, and certain conclusions
were drawn from them, so that the belief
took shape that storms had a certain pro
gressive movement and a whirling motion
at the center, the foundation of the
science as it is known today. About the
same time two French scientists proposed
to establish stations over a large territory
and to take observations to discover the
rules of the storm king's court.
But It was the invention of the tele
graph that made the plans practicable.
Professor Joseph Henry, of. the Smith-
sonion Institution, who had aided in the
perfection of the telegraph, began to draw
weather maps, and as early as jsa ne dis
played them each day at the institution
in Washington. The Civil War Interrupt
ed the work in- America. In 1S63 Prance
began the publication of a daily weather
map. which has been Kept up ever since.
Seven years thereafter the United States
began to issue its dally map. Now the
American meteorologists rank at the head
among t"he scientists of the world. What
a difference there is between those days
when science kept to herself, a proud aris
tocrat, and these days when she calls up
2,000,000 farmers over the , telephone to
help them with their work!

PROBE INTO TRUST
BANK CHARGES FRAUD
Ileinze Institution Starts Suit to Re
rover $200,000 From Moderns.
BUTTE. Mont.. May 3. The State Sav
ings Barnc of Butte, controlled by F. A.
Ileinze, today filed a suit in the District
Court against Thomas M. Hodgens and
his brother, Ralph M. Hodgens, in which
the charge is made that Thomas M.
Hodgens defrauded the bank of sums
amounting to approximately $200,000 while
he was director and cashier of the bank
from 1900 to 1905 and In which an account
ing with him is demanded. The complaint
also asks the Court to restrain the de
fendants from disposing of any of their
property until the suit is settled.
Mr. Hodgens is accused of making pur
chases of stocks and bonds in various
concerns with funds of the bank and for
his own account and then with transferr
ing the securities to the bank when the
investments proved a lofes. It is alleged
that, in order to accomplish this, he
erased original entries in the books of the
banks, in which these investments were
set down in his own name, and made new
entries to make it appear that they were
originally made for the bank.
Mr. Hodgens is also charged with re
ducing the rate of interest from 8 to 6 per
cent for the benefit of borrowers from the
bank, and with accepting commissions of
large sums for this service to the bor
rowers; with allowing overdrafts of thou
sands of dollars, without taking security;
with buying stocks and bonds for the
bank with the bank's funds from corpora
tions in which he was a large stockhold
er and which securities were of little val
ue. He is accused of transferring his
property in the state to his brother Ralph
M. Hodgens. for the purpose of preventing
the bank from recovering from him for
the losses it has sustained.
Hodgens, as a stockholder in the United
Copper Company, organized and formerly
controlled by F. A. Helnze, Is now suing
In the New York courts to look over the
books of that concern, charging the pay
ment of dividends and sale of stock con
trary to law.
FRICTION AT FORT RENO

of rumored friction between two lieu
tenants and a battalion of ' infantry
stationed there.
The only explanation given was that
Colonel Hoyt. Twenty-fifth Infantry,
now commanding the Department of
Texas, was very anxious for them to
return to Fort Reno at once. The

Foreign Dealers Get Trust's Time
pieces for Lower Prices Than
Are Exacted From the
American Purchasers.
WASHINGTON, May 3. Charles E.
Keene, of New York, president of the
Independent Watch Dealers' Association,
today conferred with Assistant District
Attorney Purdy concerning an investiga
tion the' Department is making into the
methods of the watch trust. . Mr. Keene
presented to Mr. Purdy. he said, evidence
concerning .the operations of the trust.
He asserted that American-made watches
could be purchased in various European
countries for much less than they could
be bought In this country and that the
watch trust sold watches to foreign deal
ers at a much less price than they quoted
to American dealers. He exhibited Amer
ican watches which he had purchased
abroad for less than he could buy them in
this country.
Mr. Keene also called at the White
House today and offered to President
Roosevelt a watch with an American
movement and American case which he
had purchased in England from & dealer
who had paid the watch trust $7.98 for it.
The watch, he said, would cost an Amer
ican dealer $18.58. The watch was on
graved as having been presented to Presi
dent Roosevelt as a demonstration of the
methods of the American watch trust.
The President declined to accept the gift.
Later In the day Mr. Keene sent the
watch to the President with a letter urg
ing him to accept it and saying:
"You will find engraved on this watch,
in as Jew words as possible, indisputable
evidence of the watch trust methods,
which show serious discrimination against
the American dealer in favor of the for
eigner." In a letter which Mr. Keene left with
the President, he said he purchased Amer
ican watches in Europe in substantial
quantities and brought them back to
New York to undersell the market. "Be
cause of this." he said, "the trust is try
ing to stop my supply in Europe. In a way
that I think is in direct violation of the
Sherman anti-trust act. I think I have
sufficient evidence to convict the trust
criminally for conspiring with English
dealers to prohibit my agents from exe
cuting my orders for the purchase of
American watches in the English market.
THIRD DAY OF HORSE SALE
FORTY ANIMALS SOLD AT AVER
AGE PRICE OF $t2 60.
This Is Record for West, and Places
Portland on' Equality With
Big Eastern Markets.
The third day of the horse sale at Irv
ington Track showed increasing Interest
on the part of buyers and high values
were realized. The Brook-Nook horses
arrived in the morning and were led di
rectly to the track and soon appeared in
the sale ring. Even the leisurely methods
of the Northern Pacific failed to take
away the spirit and indications of speed
and quality in these high-class young
sters. Grandsons and daughters of the
greait Wilkes sires, of Mambrino King,
long known as the handsomest horse In
tile world, and of famous matrons from
the blue grass country quickly changed
hands under the persuasiveness of the
Missouri auctioneer and 40 horses sold at
an average price of nearly 2. This is
so far a record sale in the West, and ac
cording to Eastern horsemen present com
pares most favorably with the great sales
in established Eastern markets.
The sale will be concluded today, the re
mainder of the Brook-Nook horses will
be sold this morning, commencing at 10
o'clock. The Portland Horse Sale Com
pany may hereafter dispute with the
Fasig-Tipton Company the claim to a
high-class distributing market. The
Brook-Nook stallions previously sold won
seven blue ribbons at the Oregon State
Fair of 1906, and those offered in this sale
will be heard from in future shows and
other events of interest in the horse
world. Yesterday's sales were as follows:

"Twelve years ago I began to have hemorrhages and
four years ago became so low that the physician told me
there was so hope and I should soon die. I could not be

nothing and had no action of the bowels for a week. The
doctors said the cause was ulcets in the stomach. At this
time my mother said she wanted to make one more trial,
and asked if I wonld take Hood's Sarsaparilla. I told her
It Would Be a Waste of Money
But finding it would comfort her, I began taking it. In a

could only take ten drops of Sarsaparilla at first. In two
