' Real estate Is unduly high out here. Maybe you can get your price tor It, but you won't set settlers on It There Is no real wealth In the world unless someone produces some thing of value. If you are to have successful culti vation of the soli, you must have your land at a price that the honest ordinary man can come In and make & home on It. Every nation that has neelectod Its land has ceased to be a nation. In Western Massachusetts you can buy abandoned land that has been tilled for centuries for S15 an acre. To ask $15 an acre for Oregon sage brush is a travesty on truth and Justice. If the city Is to succeed. It must coma back to the cultivation of the solL No ambition Is more laudable than to have a man make . a home for himself and his family. You can't keep up the fertility of the soil without livestock, and we can't get enough livestock In this country if we do ' nothing else but specialize on livestock for 25 years. Unless there Is a change In the at titude of the people in this country.' the railroads will pass Into the hands of receivers. Government ownership of railroads would mean the end of free govern ment. Better farmers and lower real estate -values were held up by James J. Hill as the hope of Oregon and the North west at a complimentary banquet ten dered to himself, J. M. Ilannaford. the new president of the Northern Pacific, and a number of other distinguished visiting bankers arid railroad men at the Commercial Club last night. Mr. Hill spoke from the standpoint both of a farmer and a railroad man. He recited some of his own experiences as a farmer to give authority to his statements and then pitched In and told where the farmers have been wrong: In not cultivating: the soil to its fullest capacity and where the real estate men are wrong; in holding the value of land too high. "A stream cannot rise higher than its source," he said in telling the busi ness men of Portland emphatically that their city cannot prosper unless the land back of them prospers. "And the source Is not in the streets or In the tall buildings. It Is in the country. If the city is to grow it roust have payrolls. And if it is to have payrolls It must have a market for Its products. That market you'll find in the country. - "Another thing if you are going to have laboring men you must have men who will do real work.

Heay Ily-Laden Craft Stopped in Wild Dash Down Stream Just as Crash Is Imminent. INDEPENDENCE, Or., Nov. 8. (Spe. clal.) Drlftinc 'down the Willamette River and being picked up by a launch Just in time to keep them from being dashed into the Government dike below town was the exciting experience of eight men and five teams yesterday afternoon, when the gravity ferry boat, which crosses the river at this city, broke its cable and was caTrled away by the current. The strain caused by loading four heavy loads of gravel and a single buggy on the ferry broke the cable holding the boat in place late yester day afternoon and the current, which Is very swift at this time of the year, carried the boat down the stream at a rapid rate. C. G. Skinner, who was working near the ferry slip, saw the boat start and ran to the boat dock, about 200 yards down stream, where his gasoline launch was Just ready to make the 3:15 P. M. run to East Independence. Getting the launch under way he pursued the ferry boat and got a line to it Just in time to keep it from dashing into the Gov ernment revetment, about half mile below the city. Knowing that to dash into this dike meant the smashing of the frail ferry, the men aboard It had unhitched the horses and were all prepared to Jump when the crash came. The launch towed the boat up to its slip and the cable was restretched, so that the regular trips could be made by morn- "SPUDS" MAKE DIVA THIN Emmy Destlnn Reverses Rule to Rid Herself of Flesh.

The lion trainer of Barnes circus. heart, from whose Bide he had been called to put the animals through their first exercise since their arrival in winter quarters, fought a desperate battle With t Wn a n trrir lln. n , - 1 ' j jc-.tuA. He won after one animal had torn his nana to the bone. While the fight was srolnc on. the iinnnnslmie o-i-i wa-' being hurried to Good Samaritan Hos pital. f The accident to the girl, Mabel Stark, who helps train the tigers and leopards, occurred Just as a party of two Ore gonian representatives and H. S. Colter and C. H. Skinner arrived at the cir cus grounds to obtain pictures of the trainers giving the animals their work out. Al G. Barnes, the proprietor of the circus, had offered to help The Oregonian obtain the photographs. The party had Just passed the long row of sheds on the grounds, when a girl on horseback rode up. Mabel Is Hurt, stie Says. The woman pulled the horse up Just in front of the visitors automobile. ''Take your car, fellows; take Mabel to the hospital, and hurry yourselves. She's down there dead," she shouted, and was off again towards the other circus cave. The visitors ran the automobile first to "the gate and then back to the barn to where the injured girl had. been taken. There they were told the de tails . of the accident. Miss Stark had been exercising a new thoroughbred Kentucky horse and was going to pass out of the gate onto the road, when the horse swung around, drew back and then made straight at the high paling. His fore feet hit the top, and, though he got over, he stumbled as he came down, threw Miss Stark and rolled on her. Her head was struck, either by his hoof or by some stone. Above her left eye was a deep gash, while the eye It self appeared to be damaged. Man Watches Over Her. A number of men and wamen helped to carry her inside, one. man especially tending to her, washing the wound and watching over her solicitously. The men offered to carry her in the automobile to the city, but we advised It would be better to wait for the am bulance, as the Jar of an automobile might prove dangerous. . The visitors left to obtain the photo graphs they were seeking. After tak ing the zebra, some horses, drome daries, camels and other animals out side, the photographer turned Indoors Into the big barns. . It was the lions he wanted especially to get, and Mr. Barnes said the trainer was coming along to give them a work out. "This man, Louis, is a wonder with lions. He has 24 of them in a ring at once and has more control over wild animals than I have ever seen," Mr. Barnes said. - . In a moment Louis arrived.

Provisional President Huerta at midnight laat nlfcht laaued a formal statement to the diplomats saylns; that It Is now fore seen that the recent elections are null on account of too few precincts baring participated in the -voting and that, therefore, when Congress convenes It will naturally annul the elections. President Huerta explains that the programme then will be to call new elections, he meantime continuing his programme of pacification. WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. Administra tion officials said tonight Huerta's elimination would, be accomplished "in one way or another " A development of the day was a call sent by President Wilson for mem bers of the Senate foreign relations committee. Republicans as well as Democrats. He had Senators Stone and Swanson with him for an hour and ex pects to discuss the subject individual ly with other members within the next two or three days. He is In constant communication with Senator Bacon, chairman of the committee, who early in the day had a long conference with Secretary Bryan. Fixed Purpose unchanged. The -Georgia Senator -said tonight that while he was not at liberty to dis cuss his talk with Mr. Bryan in detail, he could ay that there had been no change in the fixed purpose of the United States to have Huerta eliminat ed from the situation and that it would be done, though every effort would be made to avert extreme measures. Officials in the confidence of Presi dent Wilson said that the sympathies of this Government would incline to ward the Constitutionalist movement. The discussion had not progressed to the point where the recognition of the belligerence of the rebels was consid ered. It was admitted tonight by State De partment officials that no final word had come from Huerta as to the Amer ican demands presented by Charge O'Shaughnessy and the next step will not be decided on until Huerta's reply la received.

The President expects to forego his usual Sunday custom of banishing of ficial business for the day and will see some of the members of the Senate foreign relations committee. The Pres ident is said to be impressing on all those who discuss the subject with him that it is the duty of the United States to see to It. that the arbitrary assump tion of power by Huerta, followed by his dictatorship, should not be permit ted to ripen into a precedent In Latin America.

ANOTHER REYNOLDS TO PICTORIAL COMMENT. VESSELS CRASH IN GOLDEN GATE FOG UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT COLLIDES WITH STEAMER PLEIADES. Freighter Is Limping Back to Port, ' but Fate of Other Ship Re mains in Doubt. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9. (Special.) The large freight steamship Pleiades, of the Luckenbach Steamship Company, was in collision last night at 8:15 o clock with an unidentified vessel about 15 miles south of the lightship. At latest reports, shortly after mid night, the 4000-ton modern freighter was limping back to port in an impen etrable fog. She was badly damaged, according to the wireless reports re ceived shortly after the accident by the owners in this city. Apartment No. 2 was filled with water and the crew was working heroically to keep the big vessel afloat to get into Golden Gate. The Pleiades left here at 4:15 o'clock with a capacity cargo for Balboa. Cap tain Armstrong and the usual crew of Si men were aboard. She carried no passengers. Immediately on receiving word of t-e collision Captain Curtis, of the Ma rlne Underwriters, secured a tug and went to the assistance of the disabled vessel. Later wireless reports were to the effect that the steamer Atlas and a cutter of the United States revenue service were standing by the Pleiades to give instant aid in the event of Im minent danger. The Gate was enveloped with fog when the steamer sailed in the after noon. Toward evening it became thicker than before. It is supposed that in making her way slowly down ti.e coast under slow time a vessel going north rammed the Pleiades. The Pleiades is a comparatively new craft, having been built at Sparrow Point, Maryland, in 1900. She is 231 feet in length, 47 feet beam and 25 feet in depth. APPLE NATURES COMBINED Part Spltzenberg, Part Jonathan, Realized in Single Fruit. By freakish antics of Nature there has been produced in the orchard of Joseph N. Hunter, at Bend, Or., a com binatlon of Spltzenberg and Jonathan apples, the flavors and colors of the two varieties being separate and dis tlnct in one apple. Specimens of the freaks were brought to Portland yes terday for display at the Chamber of Commerce by W. B. Starky and Alex M. Jeffress. - On the Ranch where the fruit ' was grown, Jonathan and Spltzenberg apple trees" are planted 22 feet apart. It is thought the pollen of the two varieties of trees mingled In a way that brought about the peculiar fruit. One apple is shown to be half Spltzenberg and half Jonathan, while others grown on a Jonathan tree have small, even sec tions of Spltzenberg. The taste in the different parts of the apples Is dis tinct. ARMY GROOMING EVIDENT Chief Surgeon Searches Portland for Reserve Corps Doctors. That the United States Army is be ing groomed for active service on short notice is indicated by the action of medical officers who are searching Portland for doctors to serve in a re serve corps. An officer from Vancou ver Barracks visited St.' Vincent's and the Good Samaritan hospitals yesterday afternoon and interviewed a number of young doctors. The officer, who was recognised as Major John B. Clayton, chief surgeon at the Vancouver post, questioned the house doctors at these hospitals as to their availability for service with vol unteer troops In the field. While Major Clayton declined to dis cuss his mission, it was learned from an official source that he was acting on orders from Lieutenant-Colonel Ebert,' the chief surgeon of the Western Di vision of the United States Army, at San Francisco. OLD RIVALS' FIGHT TO TIE AT Oregon, Nearly Beaten, Rallies at Finish. LAST BURST WINS 10 POINTS Cornell Carries Ball Over Line for Draw of 10 to 10. GAME CLEAN AND SPIRITED Both Kickers Sliss Chances to Boot Over Winning Ball Boosters for Each School Say "We Should Have Returned! Victors." BY ROSCOB PAWCETT. Umpire Oregon-Oregon Aggie Game. ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 8. (Special.) The "goat" will turn, even as the worm. The "goat," meaning the Ore gon Aggies, turned with such viclous ness today that only a superhuman rally in the last few moments of play saved the University of Oregon from defeat. The score was a tie 10 to 10 and , the game a classic one of the most brilliant, dramatic battles in the his tory of football west of the Rockies. Seven thousand half-crazed enthusiasts were congregated In the bleachers when the old-time rivals mustered for their terrific battle. The weather was perfect. Only the Pennsylvania-Michigan gamd of last Fall outshines this day's work. Pennsylvania, it will be recalled over came & handicap of something like 20 points and won out over the Wolver ines In the second half. Oregon Spirit Revives Team. The Aggies led through three quar ters today, and then. Just as Lemon Yellow hopes were sinking with the sun, "Oregon spirit" dropped in to pay "Oskle Wow Wow" and "Whisky Wee Wee" a visit, and the varsity lads tied the score and had a chance to win. With Mays, Abraham, Laythe and Chrlsman ripping great holes through the varsity bulwarks, the Aggies had all the advantage In the first half. Blackwell booted a placement from the 20-yard line in the first quarter and gave the Aggies three points. Robert son intercepted a forward pass in the second quarter and sprinted 40 yards through an open field for a touchdown. Blackwell kicked goal and gave the Aggies a 10 to 0 lead. Parsons Hero for ,(V." Thus the half ended with the Orange and Black rooters on the north side wild with excitement and Jubilation. It appeared as ir only a miracle could save the day for the university. Then, aforesaid "spirit" wafted Into the Ore gon camp and flitted about Hugo Bez dek's furious charges like tongues of Pentecostal fire. Little Johnny Parsons Jumped into the breach with the first signs of the "come back." Parsons, incidentally, was a team In himself. After a 15-yard penalty on Chrlsman for interfering with Cornell on a punt. Parsons elec trified the crowd and pulmotored some pep into the Lemon-Yellow brigade by tearing off 40 yards through a broken field. He was downed on the 6-yard line and Oregon seemed doomed to score when the Eugene boys lost the ball on a fumble. But this wonderful exhibi tion of gameness and nerve set Bez dek's great machine in motion and, for the first time in the game the varsity began battering through the weakening Aggie line for yardage. Big Laythe, the 193-pound Aggie guard, had to be taken from the game after the . first half. He was In a Concluded on Page 6.) Ml ! -a ALBANY
