PARIS. Dec. 31. Rumors of political Intrigues In Portugal, the Insecurity of the Provisional Government and a plot to restore the dethroned King Manuel, have revived stories of the revolution and today Marquise Lavrado. who was the secretary to the Portugese Mon arch, gave an Inervlew that is de scribed as the first authentic account of what happened at the Necesstdades Palace on the. night of October 4. The Marquis says that the Klnr and tha ministers had been warned of the conspiracy against the house of Bra gania. but they wholly misjudged the gravity of the situation. They counted impllctty on the loyalty of the array and navy. King Manuel was playing bridge with his companions at the pal ace when the revolutionary signal gun waa fired at 1 o'clock in the morning. Hurried Investigation showed that every telephone wire to the palace had been cut. Consternation prevailed In the royal house. The servants to a man deserted, leaving a single loyal regiment to guard the person of the monarch. Soon a message came from Premier Tclxe Ira de Bousa advising the King to de fart at once. Manuel refused the ad vice and donning the uniform of the commander-in-chief of the military, announced his Intention of placing him self at the head of the royal troops. When, however, a second message ar rived notifying him of the Impending bombardment of the palace, the King changed Ms attire for civilian clothes and left tae palace unescorted save by few companions and walked through tfee excited crowds in the streets un molested. STRIKES ARE NOT VIOLENT PortDg-ueiie Minister Asserts All Trouble Amicably Settled. WASHINGTON. Dec 31. Count de j AHe, the Portuguese Minister, gave out , icwiay ine ioiiowmr as me text or a cablegram received from his govern ment In reply to one which he sent yes terday asking about the reports of a critical situation in Portugal: "Vou can state that no violence has attended the strikes. which have taken place, and that at the request of men and employera they have in gen eral been settled through arbitration by the government. The situation In this respect is Improving rapidly and there have lately been no new strikes, "National finances are every day becoming- more satisfactory on account of the strict overhauling- of the expenses ef the administration. There Is no evidence of disaffection Is the army or the navy. No conspiracies ere being hatched, even by the monarchists, and the only ones who try to create trouble are those who fear the consequences of their financial misdemeanor, and who, with that end In view. Invent alarming rumors. Everything is being prepared for the elections to take place In April next." HAY FAV0RSW0MAN JUROR Governor of Washington Will Not t'rge Special Privilege. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 31. Governor Hay has denied the request of the Sun nyslde women who sent him a petition that he recommend to the Legislature a bill exempting women from Jury duty. He said today: "The ladles who re cently served on a Jury here, the first since suTrage took effect, are earnest and sincere In their belief that women should serve on Juries. The trial Judge of that cm praises their services high ly and urges that women Jurors be gen erally called. I have been advised by prominent women of the state general ly to favor their service on Juries and I shall make no recommendations other wise."

MIL AND MRS. 1- It. BHOADES. ROSEBITC. Or., Dec. 81. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Rhoadcs celebrated .hclr golden wedding mnlvervary in this city December 12. They were married near Champoeg. Marion County, Oregon, In 1S60. Mr. P.hoades was born in Illinois on August 30, 1844. crossing- the plains with his parents by oxteam In 1847. Mrs. Rhoades was born in Kent, Kngland, on October 37, 1845. and came to America with her parents via Cape Horn in 1851-53. landing-, after a voyage of eeven months, at Portland In February. 1853. Her father was Samuel Parren, who set tled In Washington County, residing there until his death. About two years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Rhoades removed to Pacific County. Washington Territory, where for more than 48 yeara Mr. Rhoades waa engaged In the oyster business. In which he still holds large Interests. In October. 1909, they removed to Roseburg, Or., en gaging In the mercantile business. Thirteen children were born to their union, ten of whom are laving. Among them are Mrs. G. W. Brown, Beaverton. Or.: It. D. and C- O. Rhoades. Mrs. II .M. Wilson. Mrs. R. Seaman, Mrs. R. M. Moore and Mrs. n. F. Goodpasture, of Ray Center. Wash.: Mrs. C. J. Kallgrew, of Seat tle. Wash.: Mrs. II. J.

Twenty-seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren are living. iroundi of Incompleteness and of wrong deduction with respect to the evidence produced. It is probable that old precedents, which the committee used to clear the title of Mr. Lorlmer to his seat. Irrespective of certain cor ruption that mltrht possibly have pre vailed at Springfield, will be attacked, and that a demand will be made for a new set. Public Sentiment Is Feared. At the outset some of those who were Inclined to oppose the' report of the committee had little Idea that the taking- of a vote would accomplish more than the moral protest of a minor ity of the Senate. Today the feeling In the same circles Is different. It is proclaimed that the effort to unseat Lorlmer is to be a determined one. The belief Is asserted that when a full ei. position of the testimony Is made, as Is proposed, memners or tne elections committee are likely to feel sorry they did not read the evidence before sign ing the report. It is declared that the same exposition of the case will arouse such a public sentiment throughout the whole country that It Is doubtful whether a majority of the Senate will oppose the resolution that will com mand a record vote. Before the case reaches Its final stage the old question as to whether a ma jority or a two-thirds vote Is necessary to vacate the Lorlmer seat will be raised. It requires a two-thirds vote to expel a member, but only a majority to prevent a member from taking his seat on the grounds of the illegality of the election. 21 DEPUTIES APPOINTED SHERIFF NAMES OFFICERS IN TWO DEPARTMENTS.

IMPORT FIGURES HIGHEST Exports Fall Off $73,000,000 Com pared With 1007, Owing to Home Consumption of Food Manu factures Partial Offset. WASHINGTON. Dec. 81. The foreign commerce of the United States for 1910, Including both exports and Imports, promises to set a new record in the his tory of the Nation. The 11 months ending November, for which the bureau of statistics of the Department of Com merce and Labor has secured complete figures, have brought the grand total or exports and Imports to the enor mous sum of S3,0S3,3S4,954. Only the banner year 1907 comoares with this figure. The total commerce for the first 11 months of that year was 83.04T,:34.045. The triuie figures for December, the closing- month of this year, are expected to swell the total of the Nation s foreign commerce nearly 13,400,000,000. Exports Short of 190 7 Record. The breaking of commercial records will not apply to exports. The imports will reach the highest figure for any year in the history of the United States, but the sum of the exports will prob ably fall 175.000.000 short of that of 1907. Notwithstanding this decline and the increase in the Imports, the balance will still be close to t300.000.000 in fa vor of the export side of the account. The greater quantity of materials Im ported is due to the development of manufacturing. industries which import crude material or Import articles part ly manufactured. In order to complete the manufacture in this country. The slower development of the export trade Is due mainly to the fact that the United States is exporting a smaller quantity of breadntuffs and other food products each year and Is more nearly consuming Its total output of such arti cles. Imports 90 Per Cent More. The 'ull year's figures for exports are expected to be tl.S40.000.000 and the imports 1. 5:0, 000.000. This Is an Increase of 90 per cent In imports over the year 1900 and an Increase In ex ports of 25 per cent over that year. The Importation of crude materials and mater'als for further manufacture more than doubled In that time. On the export side the value of the out going foodstuffs for 1910 Is but $340, 000.000 compared with exports of ."i40.-000.000- of such products in 1900. This is a decline of more than 35 per cent. The export of manufactured articles, on the other hand, shows a gain of 65 per cent in the 10 years. MAN, IN PRISON, INDICTED Convict, Who Assaulted Guard Simpson, Must Stand Trial. SALEM.

Brents haDded down a decision revok ing that portion of Fred Lacy's will which gives the custody of his three- year-old daughter, Dorothy Dee Lacy, to his sister, Stella Lacy, and making Mrs. Nancy E. Wiseman the guardian of the person of the child. The use of undue influence was the ground upon which the court revoked a portion of the will relating to the child's custody. The remainder, which makes Stella Lacy administrator of her brother's estate as well as guardian of his child's property. Is left un touched by the court. The fight for possession of the Lacy child, which was started in the local court several weeks ago, has attracted much interest on account of the promi nence of both the Lacy and Wiseman families, who were the Interested par ties in the case.' 115 MORE MEN INDICTED Total of Ohio A'otesellers Xow 125S.

Within the boundaries of Oregon could be housed the entire New England States and still be room to spare. ' It is a magnificent empire of more var ied and latent resources and possibil ities than any section of this great nation of ours, and is today beckoning to the many who are seeking homea and investments. Almost within the geographical center of Oregon lies one of the greatest valleys of the state, a valley of magnificent possibilities and future prospects, and which is at tracting the attention of more capital' than probably any other equal area in the Nation. Millions of dollars are being expended in irrigation work and bringing the waters of the snow-clad Cascade Range of mountains to irri gate the hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile soil upon which many homes are to be builded; other mil lions are being expended by two of the greatest railroad systems the coun try has ever known, both of which are building trunk railroads both north and south, east and west across this promising valley. Not only are they building their main lines, but arrange ments are being made by these great railroad corporations to build in ;t number of feeders to tap each and every fertile nook and corner of the great territory tributary. Crops Under IRRIGATION One field of clover last year yielded hay of the value of $50 per acre; oats made as high as 85 bushels per acre; wheat, 30 to 40 bushels; and other crops accordingly. Owing to the fact that we secured contracts for sale of these places prior to the construction of the railroads, we are able to quote you prices aiid terms on the above mentioned places, and many more highly-improved irrigated farms that are exceedingly low in' comparison to their true value.

It is situated at the junction of the Hill and Harri man railroads, and is located in the heart of 400,000 acres of the most fertile and best-developed land in the entire state. Culver Junction will be the distributing point for a territory comprising over 1,000,000 acres of ag ricultural land. It also lies adjacent to several billion feet of the finest yellow pine timber west of the Rocky Mountains. Climatic conditions are ideal, and with short Winters of from eight to ten weeks, it makes it one of the most desirable as well as attract ive localities in the entire Northwest. Both the Hill and Ilarriman Rail road people realize the possibilities of this coming city and are making ex tensive preparations for the handling of largo traffic at this point. They have, through the center of this town, a grade with a 95-foot crown, together with grade for a 4S0x20-foot platform, where they arc going to build a mag nificent union depot. They also have eight entire blocks reserved for ware house sites, which shows that they ex pect to handle an immense amount of business. The farms immediately ad jacent to this townsite contributed to the wheat markets of the world over 1,500,000 bushels of high-grade wheat during the past year, this being the first year that wheat has been raised for the markets at large in this terri tory, which justifies the conclusion that this number of bushels will bn doubled and possibly trebled in the next two years. Lots may be had in this hustling town, before the advent of the rail roads, which will be in the course of thirty days, at prices ranging from $95 to $415. Terms, one-third cash, one-third six months, balance one year; no interest. These prices are liable to advance any day. Send for literature.
