The question of tho Grand Armv's
attitude on the Leo statue matter was
one of the most important tho encamp
ment has to deal with in years. The
conservative element controlled tho
encampment and won the day on the
argument that tho bitterness encend
ered in the Civil war was disappearing
ana that sectional hatred should not bo
revived; that action adverse to tho
Lee statue would do more harm than
good, especially to the Grand Army of
the uepublic, and last, but not least,
that the state of Virginia, under the
act of congress in 1864, had the right
to place in Statuary Hall the imago of
any man from that state whose mem
ory it chose to perpetuate.

Corvallls Tho poultry department
of the Oregon Agricultural college, un
dor Prof. James Dryden, is organizing
a'poultry raising contest for tho boys

about 2,000 chickons. There aro 20
colony brooder coops and 14 colony lay
ing houses, beside theincubator house,
containing 16 incubators of six dif
ferent makes, and the brooder house.
Tho work of tho department is largely
thatbf proving tho laying qualities of
tho principal varieties, including Ply
mouth Rocks, Leghorns, and crosses of
these two breeds.
In a recent letter from St. Peters
burg, Russia, Prof. Dryden was as
surcd by one of the government lec
turers on poultry raising there that tho
O. A. C. poultry bulletins have been of
great value in her work, teaching her,
she 'said, "just what to say, and how
to Bay, many things in a few words."
The bulletins are published for general
distribution in the state, and may be

AEROPLANE CROSSES ALPS
BUT PRIZE IS LOST.
Domodossola, Italy The great feat
of crossing the snow-capped Alpine
barrier between Switzerland and Italy
in a heavier-than-air machine was ac
complished by Georges Chavez, the
young Peruvian aviator.'
The plucky hero of the exploit, how
ever, lies in the Domodossola hospital,
oaaiy injured as the result oi an acci
dent that happened just as he had com
pleted the most arduous and nerve-
racking portion of the task. Both his
legs are broken, his left thigh is frac
tured and his body is badly contused,
but physicians are of the opinion- that
these hurts will not prove fatal.
The accident happened as Chavez
was trying to make a landing here.
The Alps had been crossed successfully
and the aviator was descending with
the power of has machine shut off.
When about 30 feet above the ground
a sudden gust of wind seemed to catch
the monoplane, which turned over and
fell. When the crowds that had been
watching the descent ran up, they
found Chavez lying bleeding and un
conscious beneath the twisted wreck
age. Willing hands lifted the aviator
from the ground and bore him to the
hospital.
"Black Hand" Indicated.
Spokane Murder, bearing the markB
of a Black Hand mystery, was commit
ted near Fourteenth and Wall streets
at 8:55 Saturday morning. Following
the sound of 'three revolver shots the
body of an unknown, well-dressed Aus
trian was found lying face downwards
in a clump of trees. The slayer had
disappeared, but the prints of his hob
nailed shoes were traced for more than
a block. No papers could be found on
the body bearing tho man's name, but
the discovery of $4 precludes the idea
of robbery.
Must Dig for Water.
Denver That every drop of surface
water capable of being turned to irri
gation is already appropriated is the
opinion of practically all experts who
read papers at a conference on irriga
tion here. Tho conference was ar-
rangedby the department of agricul
ture, supplies from other sources
than running streams 'must be looked
to for future use, the experts say, and
n the meantime new reclamation pro
jects should be held in abeyance.

O, R. & N. Cutoff From Pendleton
to Yoakum Nearing Completion.
Pendleton One of the most cxpen-
sive'bita of road building the O. R. &
N. Co. has ever undertaken is now in
progress between this city and Yoa
kum and will be completed within the
next two or three months. Tho work
covers but 12 miles of construction
but will cost approximately $1,200,000.
une improvements in progress in

University of Oregon, Eugcno Tho
State University opened its doors to
incoming students SepL 20, and from
all indications it is entering upon tho
most prosperous year within its his
tory. Tho first of the registration days
was set aaiae lor the hrst-year stu
dents and a total of 287 filed their reg
istration certificates. Practically all
of these are freshmen and an unusually
large proportion of them are from
Portland and Multnoma county.
Students will continue to register
throughout the week, as many aro late
returning.
A. R. Tiffany, registrar, predicts
that the registration this year will
reach 800, which will eclipse all pre
vious records.

SALMON RUN LIGHT.
Catch of Fall Fish on Columbia
River is Very Poor.
Astoria Reports from all the
streams, both along the Oregon and
Washington coasts, are to the effect
that good runs of fish are coming in
and the packing plants are doing ex
ceptionally well. The gasoline schoon
er Gerald C, which arrived Saturday
from Nestucca, brought 871 cases and
ten tierces of salmon for Eimore & Co.
The catch of fall salmon on the
Columbia river is very light at the
present time, and some of the gillnet
ters who have been fishing with large
mesh nets have taken them out of the
water. Now that the weather condi
tions are changing, however, a good
run of silversides is looked for.
Salt Salmon Prices Rise.
Astoria Judging from the present
market conditions the Alaska salmon
packers who have not yet sold their
packs of salt salmon will make unus
ually large profits , this season. Last
year Alaska salt salmon was Belling
for $6 a barrel, but it is now quoted at
$0, with a Btrong demand and the in
dications arc that the price will ad
vance to $10. It ; is understood that
the Alaska Fishermen's Packing com
pany, of this city, has fully 3,000 bar
rels of this salmon, which it has not
yet disposed of.
Stock Stalls Secured.
The Dalles The management of the
district fair, which will bo held in this
city October 4 to 8, has secured stall
room in the east end of town for the
stock exhibit. In former years this
exhibit has been held at the grounds
of tho Driving Park association, about
mile out, making it inconvenient
both for exhibitors and thoso wishing
to view the stock. With the change
which has been made, there will bo
many more exhibits entered.
German Families Coming.
Medford H. A. Vogol has pur
chased the C. W. McClendon farm in
Sams valley, 20 miles from Medford,
for $50,000. The farm contains 004
acres of land. Mr. Vogel intends to
subdivido the property and improve
each division to suit the tastes of Ger
man families from Iowa, his homo
state, who are planning to movo to
Oregon in search of a milder climate.
Train Servico Alleged Poor.
Salem Complaint has been filed by
the Upper Hood River Valley Progres
sive association with tho Stato Rail
road commission alleging that service
on tho Mount Hood Hood railway is in
adequate and that on somo occasions a
distance of 28 mileB between Hood
River and Parkdalo is mado in six
hours.
Large Amount Received.
aalem According to figures just
given out, receipts during the five dayB
oi the btate fair last week were $27.-

This figure does not furnish an ade
