HARRIMAN IS DEAD Victor In Financial Battles Loses to Grim Reaper. MIND REMAINED CLEAR TO LAST Secrecy Preservod Until Stock Mar ket Closed Time Misstated Whole Family Present. Arden, Sept. 10. Edward H. Harri man, the greatest organizer of rail roads tho world has ever known, met the only lasting defeat of his active life at the hands of death. Secluded in hia magnificent home on Tower Hill, ho succumbed to an intestinal disorder yesterday after a fight against disease that will rank for sheer grit with his remarkable struggles in the financial world. The exact time of his death is known only in that limited circle of relatives and associates who had shielded Mr. Harriman irom all outside annoyance during his last illness. The time was given out as S :35 p. m., but Mrs. Mary Simonds, sister of the dead man, said last night that Mr.f Harriman died at 1 :30 p. m. Whether this apparent discrepancy has any bearing on the current belief that every effort was made to lessen the influence of the financier's death on the New York stock market is problematical. But it is significant that the time of his death, as officially announced, was just 85 minutes after trading had ceased on the New York exchange. Mr. Harriman died peacefully and to the end his brilliant mind retained its clearness. After a relapse ou Sun day he sank slowly and soon after noon yesterday there came a relapse that marked the approach of the end. His wife, two daughters and two sons, who have been constantly with him, assem bled at the bedside and a carriage was hastily dispatched for Mrs. Simonds, whose home is three miles from the Tower Hill home. Mrs. Simonds en tered the great silent home in time to be present at her brother's death. She joined the wife and children, who, with Dr. W. G. Lyle, of New York, and Orlando Harriman, a brother, and the nurses, formed a group at the bed side. Mr. Harriman will be placed at rest in the family plot at the little graveyard behind "St John's Episcopal church at Arden. He will rest beside his eldest son, Edward H. Harriman, Jr., who died 22 years ago, soon after the family first came to Arden. The services will beheld at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and. it is under stood, will be strictly private. &award iienry Harriman .will go down in history as one of the most spectacular financial geniuses, most daring stock speculators and greatest railroad magnates of his time. He was born at Hempstead, L. I., Febru ary 25, 1848, the son of Rev. Orlando Harriman, Jr., rector of an Episcopal church in that town, founded in 1702. The early life of the future man of millions was one of great poverty. His father was a cultured but poor man, his mother came from an old aristo cratic, but equally impecunious family of New Brunswick, N. J. Edward H. Harriman received his early education at the district school and supplemented it by a two years' course in a boys' school under church auspices, where the sons of clergymen paid practically nothing for their edu cation. Edward Henry Harriman began his career as clerk in a broker's office on Wall Btreet. He showed no unusual ability and for many years gave no promise of his later brilliant develop ment. Socially he was well liked and those who knew him at that time des cribed him as a sociable young man, always full of fun. He was noted, however, for a mind of his own. What he wanted he generally obtained, but his desires and ambitions were, at that time, at leaBt, neither very sweeping nor particularly important. How he obtained his start and the funds which enabled him to buy a seat on the New York stock exchange, have never been clearly explained. The most widely accepted explanation, however, was to the effect that during the famous "gold corner" engineered by Gould, Fisk, Kimber and others, Edward H. Harriman plugged with all his own money and Bome borrowed from Squaw's Claims Settled.' San Francisco, Sept. 10. Heirs named in the will of John It. Hite, a millionaire mining man of Mariposa, Cal., have effected a aettlement with his Indian widow, it was announced to day, and within a week more than $G, 000,000 will be distributed. Hite was a pioneer in the California gold fields and married an Indian woman, from whom he afterwards separated, making an allowance for her maintenance. She was not provided for in hiB will and the contest followed at his death. The suit was compromised for $100,000. Suffering Follows Floods. Monterey, Mexico, Sept 10. Be lieving that the people in the outlying districts are facing starvation and death as a result of the raging waters, several expeditions are being formed here today to go to their relief. A priest arriving from Ascension states that the town and its population of 2, 000 souls have entirely disappeared. The people have fled to tho hills or have perished, either in the flood or from hunger. his brother Orlando, and cleared onough to buy himself, in August, 1870, a seat on tho Now York stock exchange. Young Harriman married early in lifo and married very well. His wife was Miss Mary Averell, of Rochester, N. Y., whose fathor was a capitalist and a successful railroad man. For a number of years the broker firm of E. II. Harriman & Co. did a thriving business on Wall street, spec ulating with its own funds nnd execut ing commissions for the Vnnderbilts and other wealthy capitalist clients. It was not until 1883 that E. H. Harri man came actively into tho railroad field. At that time ho had become known as a capitalist, one of tho few who had gathered togethor a great for tune in the ten trouble years between 1870 and 1880. Ho was credited with having in his strong box a fair list of stocks he had picked up at extremely low prices during the various panics, Along in 1883 ho was elected a di rector of the Illinois Central railroad Whether Mr. Harriman entered the railroad field in accordance with an al ready matured plan of his or whether his accidental acquaintance with rail road matters suggested to him the enormous possibilities of acquiring the control or large railroad systems, is not definitely known. At all events, Mr. Harriman's entry into tho direct orate of the Illinois Central railroad marned tne Beginning or his career as a manipulator of railrorad stocks and reorganizer of raiload systems which, in the course of 10 or 15 years made him one of tho greatest railroad kings ever known in the United States and placed him in control of more thun 54,- 000 miles of water transportation lines and of railroad lines of an estimated length of 27,000 miles. The railroads included in the Harri man system were of sufficient mileage to reach more than two and one-half times around the globe. They com prised the following: Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Ore gon bnort .Line, Oregon Kail road & Navigation company. Illinois Central, Georgia Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Delaware & Hudson, Erie, New York Central, Pere Marquette, San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake, St Joseph & brand Island, St Paul & Northwestern. Harriman was in addition the head of four steamship companies, one of which operates steamers across the Pa cific. He was also in the directorate of the Wells Fargo Express company, the Western Union Telegraph company, the Colorado Fuel & Iron, The Guaran tee Trust and the Eauitable companies of New York, the National City bank, and 31 other corporations. FARMERS TO KEEP RECORDS, OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST FARM SELLS FOR $100,600. Ashland Tract, Cultivated Since 1853 Brings Fancy Price. Ashlnnd One of the biggest real es tate deals in tho history of this section was the salo of tho E. K. Anderson farm, five miles northeast of Ashland ono of the oldest and choicest larms in the Roguo river valley to G. A Morse for $106,500. Mr. Morse is re ccntly from Louisiana, and he has ox tensive investments in this section. Tho farm disposed of consists of 305 acres, the sale price being $350 an acre. Of tho tract sold 43 acres are in applo and peach trees from two to seven years old. Fifty acres aro in alfalfa, the remainder being devoted to general farming. All of it is choice fruit land favorably located, nnd the entire tract will ovcntually bo turned into fruit acreage. Mr. Anderson has farmed this par ticular tract of land since 1853, and upon it grew the first wheat over milled in this part of the state. Some years ago ho purchased homo property in Ashland and has only lived on the farm a portion of the time, a son, G N. Anderson, having charge of tho place. APPLES AT TOP PRICE. GENERAL CORBIN DEAD. Noted Army Man Passes Away After Long Illness. New York, Sept 9. Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbin died in Roose velt hospoital in this city yesterday after an operation for a renal disorder. General Corbin would have been 87 years old in a few days. Mrs Corbin and ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick were at his bedside when death occurr ed. He had been ill for two years. Accompanied by Mrs. Corbin and his daughter, Mrs. Parsons, of Ardsley, N. Y., he went to Carlsbad for treat ment on June 12 last The waters there appeared to have improved his condition after two weeks' stay, and he returned to England, where hiB former trouble recurred and he went to Paris to consult physicians. The trouble de veloped more seriously while in Paris, and he determined to return to Ameri ca. J. G. Schmidlapp, of Cincinnati, met him in Paris and with Mrs. Corbin they sailed for New York on the ateam- er Rotterdam, which arrived here Sun day. The general was taken to the Hotel Martinique in this city, and Dr. Frank Erdwurm was summoned. The physicians advised that General Corbin be removed to the Roosevelt hospital, and he was taken there on Monday. The operation was performed Tuesday morning by Dr. Lauceus Hotchkiss, Hood River Union Closes $150,000 ' Deal With Eastern Buyers. Hood River Joseph Steinhardt, of the commission firm of Steinhardt & Kelly, tho New York firm that bought the output of the Hood River Apple growers union last year, has set the apple buying ball roiling by again pur hcasing the entire crop handled by tho union at a gross figure that will total over $150,000. According to Mr. Steinhardt and the officers of the union, the announcement of the sale will cause a quick scramble for box fruit in other Northwest sec tions, as they have been waiting for the signal from Hood River in order to get a line on prices. The sale includes tho purchase of 60,000 to 70,000 boxes of fancy fruit, or about lzo cars, and it is claimed that it will be the biggest deal made this year by one firm. The fruit is to be especially packed for Steinhardt and Kelly and will be labeled with a new label just adopted by the union and an effort will be mane to send one large shipment in a solid train of rcfrigera tor carB to New York. Would Hurry Allotments. Klamath Falls Complaint is made of unnecessary delay in allotments of the Klamath Indian reservation. The matter is in the hands of Rev. H. F, White, who began the task two years ago. At that time it was announced that it would require not more than six months to do the work. When the Indians have received their lands there will be left over about 200.000 acres of fertile farming land, stock range and timbered tracts. If these lands are opened for settlement it will mean an enormous influx of people into the Klamath country and will greatly in crease the resources of this section. Englishmen See the Joke. London, bept. y. xae morning pa pers apparently consider that the Polar controversy has passed the stage where serious comment will prove any useful purpose. All statements from either side tending to throw light on the dis puted points are printed in full, but most of the papers either refrain from making editorial comment or confine themselves to a few semi-humorous re marks. The Daily News points out the complete unreliability of evidence from Eskimos, who are likely to say anything calculated to please. Both Stories Undoubted Rome, Sept. 9. Commander Cagni, who was with tne jjuko or Abruzzl on his Polar expedition, said today: "Tha Peary would reach the Polo one day I never doubted, nor have I doubts as to the sincerity of Dr. Cook. The doubts with regard to Cook arise from the vagueness of hiB first statements, tho misunderstanding regarding the Polar temperature, the position of the newly discovered land and his apparent lack pof preparation for the expedition." Milton Growers Ship Apples. Milton W. E. Gibson, of the Sibson Fruit company, of Chicago, is in Mil ton shipping about 100 carloads of prunes bought from the Milton Fruit growers' union. The price being paid is $32 per ton. Last year the crop was sold for $15 per ton. A large force of paikers has been employed in the sheds for two weeks and a larger force of pickers has been engaged in gathering the fruit. The orchards owned by C. L. Stewart, C. W. Ray and John M. Brown, near Crockett, are good illustrations of tho prune mdu3 try here. Rich Strike at Gold Hill. Uold llill in the uray &agie mine development haB opened the mine 70 feet below the first tunnel and struck a body of ore which shows values from $6 to over $300 per ton. A ten stamp mill is now on the way to the property, the mill having been started after the main stockholders and dire tors had ex amined the ground carefully. In the workings a 13 foot vein has been found so far and still the foot wall has not been reached. Otter Hunting Is Stopped. Victoria, B. C, Sept 10, Word has been received by the Victoria Sealing company that the sealing schoonar Thomas F. Bayard, which has been in Behring sea hunting for sea otter, has been orderd from the hunting grounds by a United States revenue cutter. As hunting for sea otter is not prohibited, protest will be made to Uttawa with a view to having representations made to Washington. Wellman Gives Up Dash. Christiana, Sept 9. A special dis patch from Tromsoo Bays that Walter Wellman has instructed his agent to arrange for the return of all the explor er's property from Virgo bay. Drill for Oil Near Roseburg. Roseburg The Dillard Development company has received a drilling outfit to be UBed in drilling for oil near Look ing Glass, about 12 miles west of this city. Indications of oil have been known in this vicinity for a long time. Although the machine is capable of going down 2,000 feet, it is expected oil will be reached at less than that depth. Crop Prospects Good. Klamath Falls Recent rain through out the entire Klamath country have put the fall range in good condition and stock is doing well. The moisture did some damage to the hay crop on tho ground, but tho loss 1b Blight. Grain was not injured, but harvesting will be a few days late on account of the rains. The grain yield will bo ex ceptionally good. Gold Beach Mines Active. Gold Beach Considerable activity la being manifested here in tho copper mines. An English syndicate has re cently purchased the Shasta Costa properties, paying $12,000 for them. The syndicate haa also bonded the Deans-Crook holdings for $20,000. Tho hills aro alive with prospectors. STARTS PHEASANT INDUSTRY. Lebanon Fancier Succoods in an Un usual Undertaking. Lebanon R. F. Simpson, residing here, is nronarincr to shiD a carload of rincnock pheasants to tho gamo war don of Idaho, tho birds to bo used for breeding purposes. SimpBon ia said to bo tho only man in America who could fill such a lurgo order for tho much prized gamo bird. Mr. Simson embarked in this in dustrv last year. A porson unac quainted with tho Incronso of this feathered family would say that ho hnd met with fairly good success for an amateur, but tho gentleman doclares ho has learnod some tricks which will materially aid him in tho future To commence with, Mr. Simpson had 212 hens and fivo roosters. At this timo ho has over 200 young ones, rang' inor in size from throo dayB old to half grown birds of this Beason'a rearing, and the hens are still laying. White bantan honB aro used for hatch ing purposes, they having boen found to be moro ctfroful and painstaking with tho yountr than tho other of tho feathered tribe by Mr. Simppon. Exnorienco has taught that hens of lartror breed aro apt to become restless and move about on tho nest moro than tho bantam, thus causinc tho death of many of the young immediately after leaving tho shell. Mr. Simpson is rnisincr two kinds of pheasants tho ringnock and tho gold en, tho latter being from tho northern part of China. Prune Packors at Work. Eugene The Eugeno Fruit Growers association has begun packing fresh prunes for shipment The association expects to ship a carload of prunes to the East every other day for two weeks or more, contracts have been mauo for over six carloads. Tho crop in tho vicinity of Eugene this year, while light, is of excellent quality and will bring the highest prico in tho Eastern markets. Besides the prunes to bo shipped by the Fruit Growers' associa tion, there will be several carloads sent out by the Allen Fruit company, which operates an evaporator and can nery here. Prune Association Formed Roseburg Pruno growers of Myrtle Creek have met and formed an associa tion for the sale of their crops. They also elected a committee to receive of fers and do the selling for the pool. They have issued an invitation to all growers to join the pool. The fruit will all be Bold together, and whoever buys the pool gets all the fruit. Tho growers have agreed to dry the prunes in a good marketable condition and ex pect good prices. Planing Mill for Pendleton. renaieton renaioton is to have a new industry in the shape of a planing mill. Ben Hill, manager of the Pen dleton Lumber company, has made an nouncement to that effect The com pany will put about $20,000 in equip ment and expects to install tho plant as soon as a suitable location can bo found, The mill when in operation will employ about 30 men and will do both retail and wholesale business.

Consus Director Durnnd's Apponl for Accurate Farm Dnta.i Washington, Sept. 11. It will bo suggested by U. S. Coiibub , Director Durand to tho farmers nil over tho country that tHo work of securing nc curato returns nt tho coming census of agriculture will bo greatly facilitated if the farmers will keen or proviao ... w . .. . somo sort or written recoru oi tnoir fnrm operations during tho year. 1909. ThlB effort to securo tho farmers' per sonal co-oporation is hut ono of a num ber of ways nnd moans choBon by Di rector Durand in tho effort to Bocuro an accurate, oxpoditioua nnd oconom icnl censuB concerning population, agri culture, manufactures, mines nnd quar ries, which aro tho Bubjocts of inquiry defined in tho census law. Notwithstanding tho vnluo of tho population roturrns for tho political purpoao of reapportioning representa tion in tho congress of tho United States and of tho statistical informa tion dorivod from nn analysis of the population dotnils, tho consuu of agri culture, of all tho subjects in tho cen sus law, is regard od ns of ' tho grootoat importance In 1900 tho consua found 6,739,057 farms, nn incronso of 1,175,010 ovor tho total for 1890. Tho 1890 figuroB wore 655,734 highor than tho numbor of farms counted in tho 1880 conBua. Taking tho incronso botwoon 1890 nnd 1900 nnd adding thnt numbor to the total reported for 1900, nn estimated or approximate number of farniB exist ing nt tho time of the thirteenth con- bus may bo,aacortnined ; tho process of calculation boing that cnllcd "arith metical progrosBion," tho mothod choa- on by tho majority of statisticians nnd also used by tho census bureau. Theroforo tho 1010 total should reach 5,914,673, or roughly, about C,000,000 furms, which is tho numbor estimated by Chiof Statistician Powers. Thoro were 10,433,188 males and females over 10 years of ago Juno 1, 1900, en gaged in agricultural pursuits. Prof. Powers bolievca the 1910 census will swell that number to tho extent of sev eral millions. In order that tho farmers may begin at once, Director Durand indicates as follows, what opcrntiona are to bo re corded, although tho achedulo ia fltlll in incomplete shape: 11 li nnh nmanr In nhnvrrn nf ft T firm I will be asked to otato tho ncroago and valuo of hiB farm; that in, tho acrongo and valuo of tho land kept nnd culti vated by him; nlso tho nroa of land in hia fnrm covered with woodland; and finally, that which ia utilized for specified farm purposos. Each farmer will bo aikod to give the acreage, quantity produced and valuo of each crop, including grains, hay, vegetables, fruits, cotton, tobnc co, etc., raised on tho farm in the sea Bon of 1U09. Each farmer will bo asked to re port tho number and value of all do mestic animals, poultry, nnd awnrma of beea on the farm April 15, 1910; also tho number and valuo of young animals, such ns calves, colts, Iambs, pigs; and or young fowls, audi as chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc., raised on the farm in 1909. Ho will be fur ther asked to state tho number and kind of animals Bold during 1909 and the re ceipts for such Bales, the number pur chased and tho amount paid therofor; and also tho number slaughtered for food and the value of such animals. "Tho law requi.ros n report of tho number of cows kept for dairy purposes in 1909, nnd tho total estimated amount of milk produced on the farm; nlso tho nmount of butter' nnd cheese sold and tho amount received from Buch salo. The census will seek to ascer tain tho quantity and valuo of nil eggfl. honey nnd wax produced on the farm in 1909. "Of tho expenditures of the farm. the cenBUs schedule will call for n state ment of tho amount paid farm labor; tho amount paid for feed for live stock; and tho nmount expended for fertiliz ers in 1910. The information reported on the ag ricultural schedule will not bo used bb n basia of taxation or communicated to any assessor. Diroctor Durnnd wnnta the farmers to keep books this year so that guess work and recollections will bo elimin ated as far aa possible.
