f Portland. The party was escorted
from the lake by a Medford delegation,
headed by Mayor Reddy, and were met
on the banks of the Rogue near Trail by
representatives of the Commercial 1UD.
Here they were served with an elaborate
inni-honn. Mr. Harriman. who had wired
that he would come, was unable to make
the trip, on account of rheumatism, from
which he la suffering acutely.
Scenic Wonders Charm.
"All of us are charmed with Crater
Lake and with the scenic wonders of the
adjacent district." continued the Gov
ernor. "It is one of the world's great
est wonders and well worth many hard
ships to see. I am convinced that if it
is made accessible by a good auto road.
many thousands - of visitors- will come
yearly and the entire ' state will benefit
by the traffic. I will recommend an ap
propriatlon In my message for state aid
and am assured co-operation by Jackson
and Klamath counties and the various
cities affected. Mr. Harriman is greatly
interested in the project and will do his
share, besides serving actively upon the
committee.
"Mr. Harriman Is fully convinced of
the necessity of a railroad into Central
Oregon from the Columbia. We discussed
every phase of the situation and he prom
ised speedy construction of an extension
from Shanlko of the Columbia Southern.
An Immense territory will be tapped and
the farmers of the interior will be pro
vided relief speedily.
More Railroads Needed.
"I was verry sorry to miss the Parker
meeting In Portland, as I would like to
have heard Judge Parker, but I would
forego more than that and take a longer
trip through a dustier country than. I did.
In a hotter sun. If thereby I could aid in
any way the building of more railroads In
Oregon," concluded the Governor.
The Governor and party left tonight for
the north. Saturday evening the execu
tive is scheduled to sail for Coos Bay.
Mrs. Harriman and children arrived at
Crater Lake today, to spend several days
viewing its beauties.. Governor Chamber
lain and his party left the lake at 8
o'clock this morning, arriving in Medford
at o'clock.' "Mr. Harriman states that he
will visit Medford later this season.
WHEATGROWERS WILL PROFIT
Colombia Southern Extension to Be
of Great Advantage.
The Columbia. Southern, built by R H
Lytle and his associates, extends from
Biggs, on the south shore of the Co
lumbia River, to Shanlko, a distance of
TO miles. It was acquired by the Har
riman interests about three years ago and
has since been operated as the Shaniko
branch of the Oregon Railway &. Navi
gation Company. It taps a rich wheat
growing district that Is annually produc
ing a large grain tonnage.
The extension of this line means a great
deal to the people of interior Oregon,
particularly to the wheatgrowers of
Crook County, where there Is an immense
acreage of grain that will be greatly in
creased when transportation is afforded.
The extension will be hailed with great
satisfaction by the people of this state.
It will follow the Deschutes River along
surveys already in the offices of the Har
riman engineers in the Welle-Fargo build
ing. It has been contended that the ex
tension of the Columbia Southern Is im
practicable on account of prohibitive
grades, but routes have unquestionably
been found that are practicable.
Mr. Harriman himaelf has seen what the
country to be opened up has to offer, for
he went over it last Summer by auto
mobile. He saw vast wheat fields in the
Agency Plains district, rich with heavy
crops of grain. He must "have been im
pressed with the possibilities in wheat
growing there wlien railroad transporta
tion is offered.
The construction of this Central Oregon
line will, undoubtedly, be commenced at
once. The character of the country is
such that the road can be built during
the Winter, and much track laid before
the end of the present year. The bulld-

MURDERED AS TRAITORS
Russian Revolutionists Put Entire
Jewish Family to Death.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 21. News has
reached this -city of a terrible vengeance
taken by the revolutionists of Turievaka
in Tekaterinoslav Province upon a Jew
ish family named Edelstein, who were
accused of giving Information to the au
thorities regarding the activities of the
agitators. They went to the Edelstein
house at night, threw two bombs through
the window and opened fire on members
of the family with revolvers and shot to
death the father, a daughter, a woman
guest and her child. The mother, a son
son-in-law and two grandsons were
severely wounded. 1
After this murderous onslaught the
revolutionists temporarily retired and
help for the wounded- was summoned. In
the course of a couple of hours the vic
tims who were still alive had been con
veyed to a hospital. Not satisfied with
their vengeance, the revolutionists, now
well-armed band of about 40 or 60
men, marched upon the hospital, over
powered the nurses and guards and shot
to death the mother and son, after which
they made their escape.
Another dispatch from the provinces
received here says the prisoners in the
Jail at Saratov, on discovering that two
of their comrades were traitors, fell upon
them and beat them to death.

NEW YORK. Aug. 21. In recognition
of his having saved the lives of 2S sailors
during a gale on the Grand Banks last
April. Captain James Harrison, of the
Volturno, of the New York & Continental
Line, was today presented with a gold,
diamond-studded medal on his ship lying
at her Jersey City pier. The presentation
was made by an official of the Llfe-

at the time of the rescue also received
souvenirs of the heroic work.
The men saved formed the crew of the
Champaigne, a French schooner of St,
Malo, France, while the little vessel was
bound to the fishing banks. The Vol-
urno. en route from Rotterdam to New
York, sighted the Champaigne when the
schooner had been dismasted and was
leaking. So high ran the seas that it re
quired three days to transfer the men
from the sinking schooner. Twenty years

the Nautique, a French steamship which
foundered in mid-Atlantic. Captain Har
rison brought to this country Lord Dun-

PERKINS -ON NEW SLATE
Probability That the Californlan
. Will Become Head of the Com
mittee on " Naval
Affairs.
BY HARRY J. BROWN.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 00. It is generally be
lieved that Senator Hale, of Maine, will
succeed the late Senator Allison as
chairman of the committee on appro
priations the most important comr
mittee in Congress save one, and that
one, finance.
Hale la the senior member of the
appropriations committee, and, under
the rule of seniority, which is absolute
in the Senate, ha Is the logical sue
cessor to Allison. Moreover, there is
none to question his right to the
vacant place. The only doubt about
the matter arises from, the fact that
Senator Hale is now chairman of the
naval committee, and it is barely pos
slble that he will prefer to retain this
chairmanship rather than take up the
other work.
During the past session Mr. Hale
was virtually chairman of the appro
priations committee, as well as actual
ly chairman of naval affairs. Senator
Allison was in such poor health that
he was unable to shape the appropria
tion bills, and that work fell on the
next in line, Mr. Hale.
Opening for Perkins.
The appointment of Hale as -chair
man of appropriations would mean the
selection of Perkins of California as
chairman of naval affairs, for he is
ranking member of that committee.
Unfortunately for - the Pacific Coast,
Senator Perkins is not in sympathy
with President Roosevelt's ideas about
a larger navy. In the last session the
Senator fought the four-battleship
plan, and stood with Hale to hold
down the Increase in the navy to two
battleships a year. As chairman, how
ever, Perkins may change his ideas, for
the people of his state are anxious for
a larger navy.
It is unfortunate for the rest of the
Pacific Coast that Senator. Perkins is
selfish. As a Senator from California
he is very successful from the Call
fornia viewpoint; he accomplishes
great things for his state; but he does
not hesitate to promote the interests
of California at the expense of Ore
gon and Washington, whenever oppor
tunity presents. So it will be natural
for Perkins, as chairman of naval af
fairs, to build up the Mare Island
Navy-yard at the expense of the yard
on Puget Sound, regardless of the fact
that tha San Francisco yard is unable

Packing Plant.
WILL OPERATE CANNERIES
Northwest Fruit Association
Lays Plans.
BUSINESS MEN LEND HELP.
Headquarters to Be Opened In Linn
County's Capital Work Will
Have Widespread Effect on
Fruit Culture in Oregon. i
ALBANY, Or., Aiigr. 21. (Special.)
To fight the fruit "trust" in all Its
forma, will be the purpose of the North-;
west Fruit Association, as announced
at a meeting held in Albany this after
noon. Organized at Salem Wednesday
to enter the prune-packing- field thla
Fall, the association will widen its
scope and operate canneries or take
any other steps necessary to provide
competition and protect fruitgrowers.
Plans of the association now crystal
llzlng presage a widespread effect on
future fruit culture in Oregon.
Local fruitgrowers enthusiastically
indorsed the new association at tha
meeting today. L. M. Gilbert, president
of the association, and Enos Presnall,
both of Salem, were the leading speak
ers. It was announced that fruitgrow
ers from all parts of Western Oregon
are flocking to Join the new organiza
tion, which is entirely co-operative in
plan.
Have 60- Cars of Prunes.
Alleged unfair methods of the Prune
Paokers' Association, which prompted
the organization of the union of grow
ers, were reviewed. It was claimed
that the packers who control all of
the prune-packing plants in Oregon
and Washington, have a drastic con
tract, making the packers sole Judge of
quality and absolute arbit of price.
When the Albany plant failed in the
financial panic last Fall, the so-called
"trust" thought competition was dead
in the prune business, said a speaker,
and but for the new association could
have forced growers to their terms.
The new association will operate tha
Albany prune-packing plant this year,
and it was stated today that enough
growers are in the new organization
to assure an output of 40 carloads. II
expects to handle 60 cars altogether.
This year's work Is only a start, speak
ers said, and next year the growers
themselves expect to control the state's
prune business.
Cherrjgrowers Complain.
Cherrygrowers at today's meeting
demanded relief from an alleged can
nery trust. The Oregon Packing Com
pany, so it was asserted, controls all'
the canneries, and this year compelled
cherrygrowers to sell their fruit at 3
cents per pound and enter into three
year contracts. Sentiment today fa
vored the association entering the can
nery field next year to afford this con
dition relief. In fact, the spirit mani
fested today Is such that if a trust at
tempts to operate in any line of fruit
growing in Oregon It will find the
Northwest Fruit Association on Its
trail.
Organizers of the new association
have subscribed $6500 to purchase the
Albany plant and $3500 worth of stock:
will be sold to secure an operating
fund. As the association will have its
headquarters in Albany, a number of
local business men announced at to
day's meeting that they would support
the projeot.
Independent of Stock Sales.
The Linn County Horticultural Asso
ciation, under whose auspices today's
meeting was held, appointed a commit
tee consisting of E. H. Rhodes, H. G.
Fisher, B. I. Dasent and H. Bryant, to
sell stock here, but officers of the new
association emphasized the statement
that it would proceed independently of
stock sales, and Its success was not
necessarily involved In this support.
CROPS DAMAGED BY STORM
Wind and Rain Sweep Over South
ern Portion of Wasco.
THE DALLES, Or., Aug. 21. Be
cause of the electrical storm which,
accompanied by a strong wind, swept
over the southern and southeastern
portions of Wasco County and other
Eastern Oregon sections yesterday and
night before last, telephone connec
tions with points to the east, south
and west have- been so badly disabled
that, messages could not be transmit
ted to these points. The only long:
distance line undisturbed was that'
north to Goldendale. Crops and other
property, according to meager reports
received here, are damaged, though in
many places harvesting bas been com
pleted. The most heavily stricken dis
tricts in this county were the Antelpoe
and Ehaulko sections.
