WIDE DESERT IS TRAVERSED PROMINENT WORKERS AND SPEAKERS IN THE MISSIONARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE, IN SESSION Weather Warm Enough to Be Pleas ant and Jflghts Comfortable With Two Blankets Irrigation Possibilities Are Seen. NOGALES. Ariz., Oct. 19. (Special.) Twenty-five Oregon, recruits are now camped at Nogaies as memtera of the California militia and have the dis tinction of having- pone further east alongr the Mexican border than the Ore Son boya who saw border service. The Oregon infantry was stationed on the beach below San Diego. The journey of the Oregon recruits took them a 24-hour trip eastward across California and nearly across Arizona, through miles of barren desert, fretted with tall, finger-shaped cactus and piles of bleached and weatherbeaten rock assembled Into hills without shape or form. In the detachment that left Clacka mas on the morning of October 9 there were 67 men. Of these 42 were switched off in California to join the Oregon and Washington cavalry at Calexico. Sky's Color Scheme Delights. There is nothing quite so glorious In Its own peculiar way as the Arizona hills reflecting the twilight beauty of the setting sun. The distant tops re pose in vermeil hues, which, merging with the shadows, bathe the lower sides in purple. "Ravines of deeper purple mark the divisions between the higher and the lower hills, and these in turn stand agleam in a golden yellow. The whole color scheme in the clear south ern air Is one to delight the lover of natural beauty. At intervals along the road are flat, whitewashed clay buildings, having rows of square windows on each side and looking much like jails. These are known as "Mexican shacks" and are maintained by the Southern Pacific for the housing of the Mexican section hands. From six to eight families of Mexicans live in one of these shacks, and each family has a compartment to itself. From appearances, one would judge that their pigs, chickens and dogs share their domestic comforts. This Indeed is the Mexican custom. Agricultural Possibilities Seen. Shortly before crossing the Arizona state line the great Salton Sea is en countered. Ah the train speeds farther east toward the central part of Arizona the desert gradually begins '.o losj its arid quality and signs of agricultural possibilities begin to appear. Rugged, rocky land takes the place of the sand, and cattle are found grazing here and there. The agricultural possibilities of most of this country are scarcely touched, but irrigation will make much of it fertile, some day. In the vicinity of Tuscon there has been considerable irrigation, and t. t town of some 20,000N inhabitants lays Its present prosperity and its hope of future greatness to the combined agri cultural and mineral resources that are tributary to it. The bulk of the population along the line is Mexican. They are of the dark swarthy Indian type. They work on the railroad or loll listlessly in the sun. -c seems to be always "mannana" .vlth them. The most Industrious of the Mexicans seen along the way are the women They are on their hands and knees in the bed of some stream engaged in the family washing or at their domestic household duties and other crores. Weather Fleasurably Warm. An 88-mile ride on a mixed train fr.. a Benson, Ariz., brought the journey to its end at Nogales. Nogales is on the Mexican border line, which runs through a principal street. The town is situated in a little depression in many hills, which spread about every where. On these hills in different 'i rections from the town t troops ere encamped. The weather ct this season Is pleas urably warm. The sky is clear, with not a cloud, and the nights .e comfortable under two blankets. From Nogal-s the Southern Pacific Railroad runs through Mexico to Guer mas. on the Gulf of California. It is being extended through to Mexico City, and when that is completed it will af ford the most direct route to that place from Western - points Nogales is of great strategic importance. Commer cially It is not of great importance yet; but some day it is goi-g to be. if Ar "n. ' - if- 7 1 - - -Vi , " -y a 1 INSTITUTE IS OPEN Missionary Subjects Are Con sidered by Workers.

Lubrication means increased action. This is a well-defined principle and has now been demonstrated in the case of inactive bowels. By a purely mechanical process it has been abundantly demonstrated that Ameroil. or pe paraffine oil, will lubricate the bowels, softening the contents and causing an easy and nat ural movement. Amerou la being more and more widely used for constipation and vari ous other disorders of the intestinal tract. It has been shown that Ameroil does tiot In any way affect the digestive processes, that it does not absorb into the nystem, and that It has healing properties very valuable where irrita tion Is present. Taken inwardly, it simply passes through the bowels, oil ing the intestinal channels as it goes along and softening " the hardened masses which have caused the const! pation. Ameroil Is colorless, tasteless and odorless, most agreeable to take, and causes no gripe or pain. It Is sold at E0 cents per pint bottle at all Owl Drag Btorea.

GAR SHORTAGE IS 2186 SOUTHERN PACIFIC REACHES REC ORD) END IS NOT IN SIGHT. Tillamook Expects Hay Famine This Winter and Probable Loss of Some at Dairy Stock. SALEM. Or.. Oct, 23. (Special.) The car shortage on the Portland dlvi sion of the Southern Pacific today reached 2186, a new record, and indi cations that it will continue to mour.r. are given in reports which have been received by the Oregon Public faervicu Commission. The company reported that it had orders on file today f jr 2557 freight cars and only 371 empty ears available for loading. Residents in Tillamook County who own stock are threatened with serious consequences because of their inability to obtain hay. Large amounts of hay are shipped annually to Tillamook. This year only a few cars are available and a shortage in hay has resulted. The Public Service Commission today received a vigorous complaint from Rosenberg Brothers, of Tillamook, ask ing for relief. They assert that they annually ship in from 100 to 150 cars of hay from the Willamette Valley and store it in their warehouses. This sea son they declare they have been get ting only one car every 10 days, where they need from one to three a day. With no hay stored, the Tilamook pen pie foresee serious situation next Winter, when it will be impossible to ship it In because of the uncertain rail way connections at that time of year.

AVhlle Grains, Starch, Wsshlac Powder and Cheese Go Up. There was an advance of 40 cents a Darrei in the Portland and Puaj-e souna iiour markets yesterday, as consequence of the higher Drlcea nald for wheat in the Northwest. The new wholesale price of patent flour Is $7.80 a barrel, the highest price known here in a great many years. Not only were the hard-wheat family patents raised, but Valley grades, whole wheat and grraham flours were also advanced. No change was made in the price of the lower grade straights and clears. Wheat prices are lifted a good 3 cents a bushel at all points in the interior, following- the big- advance at Chicago, but the higher bids did not tempt many of the farmers to sell, but, on the contrary, made them more bullish In holding- than heretofore. At the local Grain Exchange 30,000 bush els of Club wheat was sold at $1.46 and $1.47 a bushel, an advance of 6 and 7 cents over Saturday's best bids. Buyers offered up to $1.52 for Blue stem wheat for later delivery. This price is within 7 cents a bushel of the record wheat quotation in this mar ket. The other cereals are also climb ing in price because of stronger mar kets in the East. There were but few changes in the grocery list yesterday that will af fect consumers. The wholesale price of starch was raised 30 cents a hun dred and a leading brand of wash lug powder was advanced 20 cents a case.
