El PRESIDENT POPU
LAR WITH HANHATTAfiS
PRTPAR1NG TO RECEIVE THE
x FLOWER OF THE NAVY
AT BROOKLYN.
NEW YORK, March 3--On the
eve of Inauguration Day the flying
visit of the President elect has set
alt Gotham astir today. With Wall
Street whirling its market down to
diary depths over steel trade talk, the
presence of Big Bill Taft has proved
a welcome reminder to the public
here that the curtain is rising m
Washington on a new administration,
new times and new faces. New York
has become a familiar way-station in
j the travels of Taft, and every hour of
his final days of private life at his bro
thers home here has brought about
I him scores of old and new friends as
well as the ubiquitous crew of office
seekers. Already the thrill of the na
tional ceremonies at Washington has
spread over this island and hundreds
on hundreds of its residents are hur
rying off to represent it at the capi
tol. It is years sinch such general ex
citement has been shown in any out
side event by this self-engrossed
town.
With every foot of its docks and
shops put in readiness to receive Un
cle Sam's globe-girdling men-of-war,
the Booklyn Navy Yard is to-day
roused to the top notch of sctivity
and anticipation. There only a little
over s year ago the finishing touches
were put on the flower of the fleet
preparing for the record voyage, an
army of men and tons of machinery
to-day wait its overhauling. Already
a few bronzed sailormen from the
war vessels are beginning to be seen
about the streets of the metropolis
and within the week New York ex
pects to be entertaining whole de
tachments of the tars who rounded
the world. Not since the days of the
return of victorious crews from Ma
nila and Cuba has the public here
been ready to extend as hearty a wel
come to the man behind the guns as
is today everywhere prepared
throughout this town.
If a call were made for grateful pa'
tients to follow the body of brave Dr,
Bull to the grave, Broadway could be
lined from end to end with the ranks
of men, women and children who to
day mourn the surgeon as a friend
as well as a source of renewed health
and health. In the forty years
of this master operator's association
with the hospitals in this city, thou
sands have benefitted by the expert
touch that routed the gravest bodily
ills. Hardly an hour in all this time
had Bull devoted to much else but
fitting himself to constantly do yeom
ans service in his profession. In the
tragic ending of this career by the
very disease toward which it had been
of late directed New York has lost
one of her most useful workers..
Cannon Made Of Glass.
One of the last things in the world,
sas a writer of the March Strand
Magazine, which one would expect
the glass-worker to create would be
a cannon; yet Messrs. Thomas Webb
and Sons, of Strourbridge, England,
recently built two cannon out of the
finest cut glass. The guns weigh, with
their limber, forty pounds each and
measure twenty-four inches in length
They wheel easily and move on their
trunnions like ordinary cannon. Th(
axle-tree and bearings are of ornz-
mental brass. The creations may claim
to be of some historic interest in that
they are exact models of the famous
ordinance with which Major-General
Baden-Powell successfully defended
Maleking. I he old cannon was dug
up m that place during the siege, and
investigation has since shown that
this old cannon was cast in Staf
fordshire, at an iron works within ten
minutes walk of the glass-maker's es
tablishment. During the siege the gun
was known as "The Lord Nelson"
and "Skipping Eally," the officers us
ing the former name and the men the
latter.
An Old Wheel Of Fortune.
In the village church of Comfort
(near Pont-Croix), in Western Brit
tany, is a very good specimen of the
now rare "Wheel of Fortune." It is
made of wood, with a row of bells on
its outer rim and pivoted between a
couple of rough beams-altogether very
primitive workmanship. By means of
a rod attached to a crank the wheel
can be made to revolve and set all
the bells a-jangling. I have often
heard that the peasants believe that
it has miraculous power of healing
when rung over the head of a suffer
er who has placed a sou in the box
to which the rope is padlocked. I re
ceived remarkable confirmation of
tliis belief, for while making a photo
graph a well-to-do sailor's wife and
her husband esma into the church
and looked round. The woman asked
me if I thought three could be any
truth in this belief, as her child was
very backward in learning to talk, Her
nurse, who came from those parts,
had advised her to bring the baby
and ring tne bills of comfort over his
head, when he would be sure to talk.
As she was passing, she had looked
in to see if it was worth trying!

THREATS TO STRIKE.
MANILA, March 3,-The latest
development1 in the labor difficulties
now agitating this city is a series of
demands presented by the street rail
way employes today to the company.
The demands were accompanied with
a threat to strike unless the conces
sions are made or the company con
sents to a conference. The car com
pany has expressed its willingness to
treat with the employes individually
but it declines to meet the union. It
is betieved that a strike will be de-
lared tonight or early tomorrow
morning.

Do Not Know What Charge to Bring
Against Stuart.
PORTLAND, March 3,-Although
R. W. Stuart, s patrolman in the
police department, was suspended
over a week ago following s raid on
the Hotel Quelle, planned apparently
to catch the officer in a compromising
situation, the case against him in the
police court is rapidly degenerating
into a farce.
When the case was called .this
morning it was found that no com
ptaint had been made out by the city
attorney's office. The deputy on duty
sit the police court does not knoyr
what formal charge can be laid
against the policeman, for Stuart was
not in a compromising position when
he was discovered by the raider.
Not only was there no complaint
against the officer but none of the
witnesses, the officers who raided the
house, (appeared, so Stuart's attor
neys, who, it is understood, will be
raised for the purpose and to which
large proportion of the police de
partment contributed asked that the
hearing be postponed until tomorrow
The wife of the officer is standing
by him. She came to the police court
with him today in spite of his ob
jections.
"If I am willing to overlook this I
cannot see that it is anyone else's
business," she declared.
She announced her entire willing
ness to go on the witness stand in
his behalf.
Two Beautiful FUms.
The Grand moving picture house is
presenting two of the most beautiful
and realistic flms seen in this city
for a long time, to-wit, "Ruy Bias"
the exquisite love story of a Queen
of Spain for a lacquey, who by the
inspiration of his love for her, rose to
the Premiership of that nation, only
to suicide in order to save the
Queen's honor; and "Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight?" one of the
most vivid and potent pictures ever
seen and one that gets into the heart
and conscience of all who see it
Both are on tonight's bill and neither
should be missed. The Grand has
swung into line on the four changes
a week now and its bills are changed
every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.

ING. CORVALLIS. Or., March 3.-A
few years ago $I0,)0 were invested
in durum wheat which was sowed in
a country where one steer required
30 acres for his support. Five years
later 3,000,000 acres of this land were
sown in durum wheat and produced
over 45.000,000 bushels. An invest
ment of $10,000 in the beginning
brought forth a crop worth $30,000,-
000 in approximately five year. Ore
gon has many thousands of seres of
land, part of which is producing l
crop every ten years and part is sup
porting a few steer. Statistics prove
that from nine to twenty per cent of
the dairy cows arc infected with tu
berculosis. It has been proved beyond
doubt that tuberculous cows are re
sponsible in a great measure for the
prevalence of tuberculosis in the hu
man family,
The Department of Agriculture of
the Federal Government, through the
and Agricultural Colleges is trying
medium of the Experiment Sations
to solve many problems of which
these are two examples. In order to
do this work many hundred thousand
dollars are expended annually in car
rying on experiments. By virtue of
the progress made in these matters
many hundred million dollars are
saved and earned, and human life is
made more stable.
The State of Oregon with its
wealth of undeveloped natural re
sources and its great area of rich
land needs more than most states the
help of this great movement. Th
Uregon Agricultural college is an
agent in this great work. It is prepar
ing the young men and women of
Oregon In cope iv:'.!i the problem of
industrial and agricultural life. If
its work stopped here it would be
deserving of the State's most liberal
bounty. But in this it has only its be
ginning. In its laboratories experts
are studying soils and seeds, the life
and diseases of plants and animals,
the construction of roads and the ir
rigation of lands, methods and means
best adapted to the needs of the peo
ple of this slate. The information so
derived is given freely to those who
come for it and as freely sent to those
who cannot come, In other words the
college is working constantly, intelli
gently and effectively to advance the
welfare of the people of this great
commonwealth.
The people of the state are just
beginning to appraciate the practical
value of this great work. This year
their Legislature has appropriate!
over three and one half hundred
thousand dollars to make possible an
extension and improvement in its
scope and effectiveness. A hundred
thousand dollars more were asked
for and several hundred thousand
more were needed. It costs money to
send a state to college, but it pays.
In other words the institution, social.
ndustrial or educational, which can
be fed on a hundred thousand dollars
nd made to produce a million dollars
s worth feeding.
