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. I never knew

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-

Emmy Destlnn. the opera singer, who
left for New York Tuesday, said to a
correspondent that she had been reduc

After keeping this up for eight days
the patient drops it for three and then
takes it up again.

occurred Just as a party of two Ore

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

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

over, he stumbled as he came down,
threw Miss Stark and rolled on her.
Her head was struck, either by his

MEXICO CITY, Xov. 9. 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

The President expects to forego his
usual Sunday custom of banishing of

those who discuss the subject with him
that it is the duty of the United States
to see to It. that the arbitrary assump

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,'

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.

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.

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

with Cornell on a punt. Parsons elec

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

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.
