I PAGL. BIX. DAILY BAST ORECONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1005. EIGHT PAGES. II y MINISTER OP MIIJTIA 19 AFRAID OP AMERICANS. RoyallMts and Aristocrats In Canadian Ottre Aro Alarmed at the American lava.sion. While tho Rural Comma nithv Heartily Welcome Uio Amer toan Farmer Iiowt of Fellow Fwllng Prevails Between Canadians and Americana. The nucleus of a Canadian nary will shortly be established at Esquimau, the government having arranged for the maintenance of a training vessel there at once. Raymond Prefontalne, minister of aiarlhe and fisheries, has left for Eng land to arrange for the ship which will be under the Jurisdiction of the Canadian authorities. This announce ment was made at Vancouver, B. C. by Sir Frederick Borden, minister of militia. He said: "We must be prepared for eventu alities. The greatest assurance against war must be In preparing for war. In the slight preparations made In Can ada the main Idea was the mainte nance of law and order. We were not afraid of foreign Invasion, but with the large Influx of all kinds of people we roust be prepared to maintain or der. We are not spoiling tor a fight, bat we must maintain our laws and civil government, and then you know Vncle Sam Is growing ambitious." It Is said that the ultra-royalists in all the large cities of Canada view with alarm the great Immigration flowing Into the Canadian wheat belt from the United States. They fear that this rush of Ameri cans means the extension and Inten sifying of the annexation sentiment In the rural districts of Canada. In the rural districts and among the larmeres and In the small towns the American Invasion Is welcomed, as the Americans who are settling on Cana dian wheat land are progressive, In dustrious expert farmers and excellent citizens and such an influence In the Canadian communities in which they settle, is heartily welcomed. Royalists and aristocrats from the large cities don't want American set tlers, but the government of Canada encourages Americans to go there, and most of those leaving the United States are well pleased with their new home. As to possible clashes between Americans and Canadians, In which a Canadian navy would be needed as hinted by the minister of militia. In his Interview here quoted, there Is not the most distant probability. Fra ternity and fellow-feeling between Canadians and Americans are every where predominant. Americans ob serve and enforce Canadian laws and no trouble of any kind resulting from the "American Invasion" has been re ported, although 200,000 Americans have gone into Canada In the past two years. The American settlements in Al berta have carried American customs with them and are distinctively Amer ican. American Sunday school plans are observed, they visit as they did in the United States, establish churches and keep up lodge affiliations and one would not know It was Canada except for the occasional appearanco of squads of mounted police In pur suit of some criminal, (always a Ca nadian or Canadian Indian.) LESSONS OF JAPANESE WAR. Has Revised Bayonet and Sabre Man uals in American Army. Washington. Sept. 29. The an nouncement has Just been made that the new manual for the sabre and bayonet drills for the army, on which the officers of the general staff have been working for some weeks, will soon be given out. Hitherto these manuals have called for much skill on the part of the enlisted men, so much. Indeed, that few of them were ever able to acquire the art of wield ing either weapon In a satisfactory manner. It Is proposed to omit from the new manuals everything of a fancy fenc ing character, such as Is taught In the private drill rooms. It Is Intended that there shall be a return to the simplest methods, and that everything shall be on the most practical and useful basis. Both weapons are In tended for use In time of war, espec ially the bayonet. The officers who have been on duty In Manchuria with the Russian and Japanese armies have furnished spec ial reports on the subject to the gen eral staff and such experts as Captain Herman J. Koehler, the master of the sword at the Military Academy, and Civil Engineer Cunningham, of the navy, who Is an expert swordsman, and who had charge of the Naval Academy fencing last year, have also given valuable advice alone the line indicated. The war department re cently adopted a new type of sabre, which will be kept with sharpened edge and carried in a wooden scab bard. A new bayonet was adopted several weeks ago, based on the re sults of the observations of our mili tary attaches with the troops in Manchuria. FARMERS TO FORM UNIONS. Movement to Affiliate With the Feder ation of Labor. Chicago, Sept. 29. A determined effort will be made on the purt of the American Federation of Labor, to bring about the unionization of the farmers of this country and their af filiation with the American Federation of Labor for mutual benefit and pro tection. In Wisconsin and Minnesota a number of farmers' unions have been formed already and according to the statement of the officials of the federation, the affiliation of these farmers' unions with the American Federation of Labor is merely a ques tion of time. - The leaders of the Federation are highly enthusiastic ovor the prospect of an alliance between the city wage workers, the farm hands and the farm ers, it is expected that the western farmers will be well represented at the next meeting of the American Federation of Labor which will be held in Pittsburg In November. It Is not expected that the plan of affilia tion will meet with any opposition from the federation. NEW POTATOES ALL YEAR. Montana Man Has Discovered ft New Process of Growing Spuds. At the county fair at Great Falls, Mont., there Is on exhibition what the Inventor calls vlneless potatoes. Some three months ago D. D. Darst, the discoverer of the new process, an nounced that he could grow potatoes In from two to three months In a spec ial preparation discovered by himself, in layers on top of each other and without vines. Durst's experiments have been con ducted In a box eight feet square. In the bottom of this box a layer of Darst's preparation Is placed to the depth of three Inches and a number of potatoes planted therein. Another layer of three Inches Is scattered over these potatoes and more potatoes planted in the usual manner, and so on until the frame Is full. Darst claims that the box may be built to almost any height with layer after layer of potatoes, without af fecting the producing quality of his composition and that he can have new potatoes for market In any climate at any time of the year. IMMENSE PRUNE CROP. Boise Valley Is Experiencing a I-ros-peroiis Year. Boise. Sept. 29. The season for prune shipments will be over in an other 10 days. It was that lute in opening, and will continue about the usual length of time for gathering the crop. From a comparison of this season's shipments with those of last year, commission men state that the ship ments are not only going to exceed those of previous years, but prices paid to producers are largely In ad vance of those paid last season. At the Sinscl commission house It was stated that the shipments up to this date last year were 44 mm with seven cars sent out afterwards. Up to ihki nignt. 3 cars had gone to market, with at least 20 more under contract. Adding the shipments being made from Boise by all the dealers and raisers, to those going to the eastern marKets rrom Meridian, Nampa, Em mett. Caldwell, Parma. Welser, Pay ette, and other points In the valleys, the number will total more than 250 cars of prunes, a large Increase In the average tonnai? produced, and at an advance of 50 per cent over last sea son's prices. BEET HARVEST ON GRAND RONDE WILL YIELD BUT HALF A CROP. Frost and Extremely Dry Weatlier Re duced the Yield Over 2800 Acres Were Planted in tlio County Fac tory Will Probably Run But Little Over Half tho Usual Length of Time Union Is Rapidly Becoming the Sugar Beet Center. Tho sugar beet harvest In Grand Ronde valley Is Just now beginning, and from all appearances but half a crop will be harvested. Late frosts and dry weather have retarded and Injured the crop until on the Sand Ridge, the chief beet belt, thero is but a light yield and In the vicinity of Union where there was plenty of water to Irrigate the crop, less than three-fourths of a full crop will be gathored. While the beets are thin on the ground they are also light in sugar percentage, as the frost affected the sugar qualities as well as thinning out the plants. The vicinity of Union Is rapidly be coming tho sugar beet district of the valley as the soil is heavier and water for Irrigation purposes Is more plen tiful. At first It was thought that beets would not mature early enough to escape early frosts In the fall In the vicinity of Union, but experiments have proved quite the contrary and now the most uniform beets carrying the highest percentage of sugar, are grown In that district. Little outside labor will be used in harvesting the crop as most of the acreage Is owned by Mormons having large families and local labor. In ad dition to the labor provided by the families of the owners, will be suf ficient to handle the crop. Formerly about 250 Japanese and 100 Umatilla Indians were employed In the Grand Ronde beet harvest, but few of either Indians or Japanese will be used this year. The factory will be forced to em ploy a full force of men, which will consist of about 120 men and boys, but It will run but 25 days or little more than half the usual length of time. The machinery Is so arranged and the process of extracting the sugar so complicated that although the fac tory might run but a week, it would be necessary to have a full force even for thot time. About 2SS0 acres of beets were planted In the county this season, but fully one-half of this acreage Is non productive on account of dry weather and frost. WORKING WOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier Interesting State ments by a Young Lady in Boston and One in Nashville, Tenn. Alfalfa Root 2? Feet Lone A Kansas paper says an alfalfa root 27 feet In length was carried Into the Big Blue river by the raving In of All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, ovarian troubles, ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb, leucorrhnea, or perlAps irregularity or suppression of "monthly periods, causing- back ache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude.
