Salt Lake, Aug. 3. Carrying his
invalid wife In his arms, W. D. Ilaj
wood, secretary of the Western Fed
eration of Miners, stepped from the
train In this city tonight Into a crowd
which had gathered to meot him. In
Its eagornoBB to see him, the mob al
most overwhelmed tho littlo party
of travelers. Mrs. Carruthers, Hay
wood's mother, was swopt away from
the waiting carriage. She was res
oued by her stalwnrt son and the lat
ter, after shaking a few hundred
hands, thanked exerybody and with
his family started for the home of
his sister, Mrs. Janios Kllloon.
At Ogden, tho news of Haywood's
arrival spread through tho railroad
yards and many men from tho, shops
and switches In greasy blue jumpers,
took advantage of tho stop to touch
the hand of the labor leader and to
cheer him as the train rolled out of

Valley Producers Found Poor

Biooks sent some of their fruits to
an evaporator at Dayton. Yamhill
county, to be dried. It is said that
the evaporated product when prop
erly put up commands easily 25 cents
per pound, and at that price the
grower would get from $1.25 to
$1.50 per crate, which would prove
a fair remuneration.
Evaporated raspberries cannot be
obtained In the east in sufficient
quantities to supply the demand, and
it Is thought, and with good reasons,
too, that the loganberries would
prove a splendid substitute for the
raspbeirles. In fact, eastern firms
are looking to Oregon to supply them
with this kind of evaporated fruit.
Hon. W. K. Newell of Gaston, presi
dent of the state board of horticul
ture, received a letter some time ago
from an eastern firm, asking if any
experiments had been made in this
state in drying and evaporating lo
ganberries. And right here there
opens up a wide field for the growers
of loganberries, and Salem can take
the Initiative and from tho first es
tablish for its product the best mar
kets in the country. Evaporators
are hero and tho berries will be
forthcoming In tremendously large
quantities within a year or so. The
loganberry Industry is yet to be de
veloped in this section, and the sell
ing of tho fresh as well as the dried
fruit makes tho loganberry an excep
ralse. tlonally fine fruit for growers to
Tho experiments carried on by D.
A. Snyder, the well known Dayton
packer, have proved thoroughly suc
cessful. "The crop of loganberries In Ore
gon this year has been so large that
they have been the cheapest berries
on tho market," says a writer on hor
ticulture. "Probably they can be
produced cheaper than any other
berry- Tho canneries are taking
soma of them, but not very exten
sively, as tho general markets aro
not yet familiar with canned logan
berries." WILL FIGHT THE ADVANCE

Portland, Aug. 3. At the meeting
of tho Oregon lumbermen held hero
today, it was determined to fight the
proposed Increased railroad freight
rates on lumber to Mississippi valloy
points. A fund will bo raised by as
sessing milts $10 for each 1,000 feet
of a run of ten hours. Superintend
ent Philip Buehaer, of the Oregon
and Washington Lumber Manufac
turers' Association, said that tho pro
posed rate would increase the cost
of dollvery at Denver $3.00 a thous
and and $0.00 a thousand at Chica
go. Figuring an average in freight
rates of $2.00 a thousand, it was
shown that an enforcement by the
railroads of the proposed now rat03
should In tho course of the year ox
act an additional toll of Ave million
dollars on lumber shipments from

NEW GUARD ON WATCH
v .
Escape Walked Out In Company
With Wood Haulers Xot
Yet Recaptured.
One of the most clever tricks that
has ever been perpetrated by a pris
oner, In making his escape, was that
of Charles T. Duke, a convict sent up
from Clatsop county, who walked
away from the penitentiary guards
unmolested yesterday afternoon, says
tho Capital Journal.
Duke, with a number of other pris
oners, was at work In the prison
brick yard, near the penitentiary
walls, where brick Is being made to
construct the now wing which is be
ing built at tho asylum. Several
wood haulers were In the yard with
their wagons, and the clever convict,
selecting an opportune moment, slip
ped behind a pile of wood, where he
found a hat, a pair of overalls and a
jumper, which were quickly donned,
and securing a stick he walked bold
ly out among the piles of wood -and
wagons as though he was measuring
wood.
He then leisurely walked past the
guards, and made good his escape
unobserved. It was fully an hour
before the prisoner was missed. Offi
cers were sent in pursuit, but as yet
no trace has been found of him.
The guard whom Duke passed, Is
said to be a new man, but the clever
ruse adopted might have fooled an
experienced detective. Several of the
wood haulers are said to have seen
Duke, but all thought taht he had
authority to measure the wood.
The escaped convict was sentenced
to serve two and a half years for ob
atlnlng money under false pretenses,
and had only served about a month
of his sentence.
PROGRAM CHANGES

An entirely new program will be

extremely funny comedy picture,
"The Servant Girl Problem," guar

and tribulations of a wealthy New
Yorker to secure a suitable servant
girl. A number of other new and In
teresting pictures will be shown. To
night wll be tho last opportunity to
see the famous Kentucky feud pic

week. It may bo Interesting to know
that about a dozen people have been
killed dud) to this historical family

Only Two Olicnders.
Boston, Aug. 3. Burning with
hatred for enemies belonging to the
On Leong Tong, a band of New York
Chinamen numbering a dozen or
! more and said to be members of the
notorious Hip Sing Tong, entered a
narrow alleyway In Chinatown to
night and opened fire on half a hun
dred Chinamen, killing three and In
juilng seven. At tho iirst volley, the
Chinamen rushed to their quarters.
The Hips Sings chased their victims
into their own doorways and shot
them down as they rushed upstairs
into side rooms. Then casting away
their revolvers the Hip Sings ran
from the Chinese quarters, most of
them escaping the police. Immedi
ately after the shooting one of the
Hip Sings was captured by the police
as he was running away. The man
gave his name as Nlm Sing. Later,
an officer took Into custody Hong
Woon, whose hands were powder
stained. Both prisoners were charged
with manslaughter. The police ar
rested seven other Chinamen who
are strangeis in the community.
Fully fifty shots were fired. The
visitors shpt. .with careful accuracy,
as was appaient from the fact that
each of tho three men killed was
shot through the heart.
The trouble had been brewing for
weeks. The New York Chinamen ar
rived here a week ago and details of
police were placed In Chinatown.
After this the New Yorkers suddenly
disappeaied. The trouble appears to
be the result of a shooting in Phila
delphia for which the Boston Tong
was partially blamed. It is thought
the Hlj-Sings came from New York
to punish the On Leons for the Phila
delphia affair.

Oregon Mills Are Far Behind
Orders and Are Doubling
Capacity.
HIGHER WAGES FOR LABOR
Increase Xot Due to Trust, Hut
To Shortage Eastern Mills
Shut Down.
Ro3eburg, Aug. 3. According to I
L. E. Tidball, of this city, represent
ing Blake-McCall Paper Co., of Port
land, the ever Increasing demand for
paper has forced prices in this com
modity to their present high stand
ard. Mr. Tidball says that the paper
mills on the Pacific coast as well as
In the east, have been totally unable
to turn out the different grades of
paper fast enough to supply the de
mand. Indications are that there
will be a further Increase in paper
prices in the near future.
While some claim that prices are
being forced up through trust
methods, Mr. Tidball says that this is
not the case. Many of the Eastern
paper mills have been compelled to j
shut down within the past year bo
caute of the lack of wood and other
material lrom which paper Is manu
factured. The mills in the west have
not been able to meet the deflclercy
caused by the shutting down of tlie
eastern mills, and this together with
the larger demand has caused prices
to raise.
Nearly all the paper mills on 'the
Pacific coast are now doubling their
productive capacity. Wages of the
men employed In the paper mills In
this section of the country as well as
el&cwhere, are now being Increased.
At Oregon City paper mills the em
ployes have just been granted an In
crease In wages of from 10 to 15 per
cent. The mills at this place, too,
are enlarging their capacity, but even
with this are unable to keep up with
their orders from the paper supply
houses.
fho Oregon City mills In the case
oi Blake-McFall alone are twenty
cars behind their orders. Orders for
paper sent In two months ago have
not yet been filled, and Mr. Flynn
says the paper mills aro unable to
guarantee the time of delivery.
At Lebanon, where paper mills are
located, conditions are similar to
those at Oregon and Camas, Wash.
Lebanon paper mills will shortly
have Increased their manufacturing
capacity to double. They aro putting
In a new wet machine which when
installed and ready for operation will
employ foity additional men. With
their capacity thus Increased, tho
Lebanon mills expect to be ablo to
meet their orders better than at
present.

Washington, Ajug. 3. Consider
able significance is attached here to
tho visit of three Navy Department
chiefs to the Pacific Coast. Admiral
Capps, chief naval constructor; Ad
miral Cowles, chief of tho equipment
bureau, and Admiral Hollyday, chief
of the bureau of yards and docks, are
about to visit San Francisco where
they will make a thorough In prctlon
of Mare Island Navy Yard and later
will visit the Bremerton yard. They
will inspect tho Union Iron Works
and Hunters' Point docks and will
ascertain just what facilities are of
fered for caring for war ships.
Admiral Capps left Washington to
day for Now York, where he will bo
joined by Admiral Cowles and the
two will go together to the Pacific
Coast to make a thorough Inspection
of the yards and stations on that
coast and report upon tho future
needs of the Navy in that quarter.
Admiral Hollyday will follow these
two officials to San Francisco on a
similar errand. This will involve a
very careful examination of the Mare
Island Navy Yard and that at Brem
erton. The resources of tho two
navy yards aro scarcely sufficient to
make even temporary repairs and
docklng3 that will bo required by
Admiral Evans' battleship fleet when
It makes a temporary visit to tho
Coast. Hence tho Inspection ot tho
yards will probably result In recom
mendations to Congress at its ap
proaching session for a considerable
enlargement of the plants at both
places.
The dlsatnco of San Diego south
ward from San Francisco and upon
the same line with the Panama ca
nal, would also make It an advan
tageous coaling point. Of course,
the consont of Congress would be
necessary to render effective Its se
lection. Nothing has been done at the Navy
Department about tho transfer of tho
battleship fleet to the Coast, but it is
considered that the transfer Is cer
tain, although It may not occur until
tho first of the year. Tho President
Is deeply Interested In the movement
and ho will receive personal details
about the facilities for caring for tho
fleet from his brother-in-law, Ad
miral Cowles.
