With only one exception, the bat tleship Nebraska Is the fastest vessel In the fleet of Uncle Sam's flghte, sas the Seattle Star. This was dem onstrated yesterday on the first offic ial trial trip. Thirteen times the bat tleship was speeded over the course, and 13 times she averaged from three tonths to eight-tenths knots over her required speed, i When the battleship came Into the harbor, two sets of brooms, one above each other, were lashed to the fore and after-mauls. On the stack In large white loiters were painted 19.6. which was the time registered. Official Figures. The figures as given to The Star by Robert Moran and authorized by the members of the naval Inspection board as to the relative time made nn the number of revolutions are as follows: Highest run, 19.51 knots; number of revolutions, 125.37. Average run, 19.237 knots; number of revolutions were 122.41. Slnilulit Axuiy Coiiimc.

Today the latter revolutions must be made on the four-hour straight away course. This will be very simple, as the average time and the number of revolutions made yes terday are above this requirement. There were no serious accidents yesterday on the trip. The loss of an anrnor causea some commouon. While the test was being made to lower the anchor, the engineer oper ating the hoisting engine let It get beyond his control and as the heavy chain upon which was attached the still heavier anchor rushed through the port hole Into the water, the struc tural work was torn away. Engine Is Wrecked. The engine was practically wrecked and the friction of the chain set flra to the temporary woodwork. Water pipes were burst and for a time great excitement prevailed. The anchor and chain are lost In 95 fathoms of water and, unless recovered, means a loss of (20,000. H. E. Crutcher was drowned in Payette lake, near Kmmeit, Idaho, while In bathing. Ho was 31 years of age and most exemplary charac ter, unrt had taught for several years In the Emmett public schools. While Umatilla county Is harvesting an Immense crop of wheat despite the hot weather, the Willamette valley Is also prospering and her crops show little effect of the extremely hot spell. The prune crop will be especially heavy this year In all the Willamette counties. The Halem Statesman pub lishes the following promising review, of the prune situation: In sp'.te of the hot weather this sec tion of the country Is going tb have a heavy prune crop. A number of the leading pruncgrowers were called up by telephone last evening and the generul expression wag that the hot weather did not do any excessive dam age. James Wlnstanley, who lives north of Salem, says that perhaps 30 or 40 per cent of his prune crop Is on the ground. His late apples also are bleached, but the summer apples ap pear to be alright. A. Vercler, who lives about three miles from the steel bridge In Polk county, says the dropping of prunes Is no larger than usual, so far ai he has noticed. "It Is always expected," he said, "that the hot weather will cause the prunes to drop to a large extent, but I have noticed no more this year than last. For my part It would not worry me If 60 or 60 per cent of my crop would full, for the trees have an unusually large load this season and could stand to lose that many. Besides that, I have no ticed no damage to the other fruit, except that the apples are sunburnt on the sun side of the trees.' J. rcmberton, of Rosedays, Is also of the opinion that the hot weather did no great damage to the prunes. His orchard has been Infested with caterpillars, and only on the trees on which caterpillars lire found Is any loss noted which was caused by the heat. Heavier Than Lust Your. The conditions In general appear about the same. About 50 per cent of the crop Is sold, and the market U now at a standstill. This year the or chards here nbouts will produce about 35,000,000 pounds of prunes, as against 15,000,000 pounds last year. California does not seem to be hold ing up so well. The crop around Santa Kosu is from 60 to 70 per cent of the normal crop. At Healdshurg the crop Is enormous, making an average for the whole section approximately 80 per cent. Around Sulsun the crop is about 75 per cent and the same at Vucavllle and Marysvllle. Yuba City has a normal crop. The growers of that section at a recent meeting voted a 2 cent basis. The estimate of the yield of Santa Clara valley Is 96.000,000 pounds. Tho growers there are hold ing on to their prunes. G. B. Burhams Testifies After Four Years. O. B. Burhams, o' Carlisle Center, N. Y writes: "About four yean ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bot tles of Foley's Klkney Cure. It en tirely stopped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symptoms of kidney dis ease disappeared. I am glad to say that I have never hand a return of any of those symptoms during the four yenis that have elapsed and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heaitlly recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from kid ney or bladder trouble." Koeppen Drug Store. 75,000 hogs and 125,000 cheep. Several months ago when some of the big packers decided to establish plants in this city and Meagly Junc tion was selected as the site for their location, the Union Stockyards com pany realizing the necessity of yards at that point, at once secured land for that purpose. ' Just below and across the river from St. Johns, at the junction of the O. R. N. and N. P. railroad, be tween the line of the O. R. & N. and the slough along the river. Swift & Co. bought 1700 acres of land for the packing houses, stockyards, pack Ira; town and the usual accessories of such a business for which this loca tion Is logical and Ideal. Forty ncres lying right along the slough and adjoining the site of the packing houses hnve been set apart for the yards. 10 acres of which will be covered with pens this fall. WORKING FOR THE NORMAL.

ADVERTISING IDAHO. Prof. R. C. French Soliciting Students) in Eastern Oregon. Prof. Robert C. French, president of the eastern Oregon state normal school at Weston, was a Gilliam county visitor for several days this) week, says the Arlington Record. He Is out soliciting scholars for th coming school year, and so far some 20 of the young people of Gilliam county have promised to attend thls Institution of learning. This Is considered one of the best and most thorough schools In the northwest, has fine grounds and build ings and an excellent dbrps of instruc tors. The state has appropriated a goodly sum to this school for the coming year, and a great many im provements will be made. For the past year Prof. French ha been teaching at the Y. M. C. A. at Salt Lake City, and has the reputa tion of being one of the very best In structors In Oregon. Norbert Laugh rldge, bookkeeper at the Arlington National bank, has been attending the Weston normal and expects to resume his studies there this fall. He will graduate from there next June, and speaks In highest praise of this school, and says the school is equipped with all kinds of paraphernalia to give students a thorough business training as well as tha. normal course. Short Sketch of an Oregon Enterpri Hint Is Growing. The North Pacific Rural Spirit pub lishes the following brief history of Portland's Union Stockyards: Hathburn & Hall built the original yards at the present slto In 1884, op erating In a mall way at first, though business Increased from the start.' In ISiO they sold to W. E. Burke, who organized the Union Stockyards com pany that did a good business until January, 1K97, when they sold out to Warren Merchant and Allen Yo- cum, both of Yamhill county, who did business under the name of Merchant & Co. In Fehruarv, 1898, Mr. Yocum sold out to W. H. Morgan, who also bought Mr. Merchant's. Interest In June, 1902, when the company was organized with W. H. Morgan president. William H. Daughtrey vice-president, and O. M. Plummer secretary and treasurer. In June, I'tOS, Mr. Morgan retired and Mr. Daughtrey ussumed the pres idency and general management, whMe Mr. Plummer continued In the position he has faithfully filled for almost 10 year. Last vear the books showed thr.t the yards handled 55,000 carloads of stock of all kinds. Their annual bus iness runs nbout 35.000 head of cattle. Oregon Short Lino Issues an Enter tnlntng Booklet.

Former United States Senator Geo, Turner and Colonel Alrten J. Blethcnr were yesterday selected by the demo cratic state central committee to rep resent the democrats of Washington at the reception to be tendered Wil liam Jennings Bryan on his return from his tour of the world, says the Seattle Star. Without a single exception it was the opinion that Bryan would be nominated by the democrats in 1908 and that his popularity as a candi date will be greatly in excess of what he was able to command in either of his preceding campaigns. The committee decided to call the state convention at Seattle on Mon day September 24 the Monday fol lowing the republican state conven tion, which has been called for Wed nesday, September 19. This will give a state campaign of approximately six weeks. There was no discussion of probable state candidates at the meeting of the committee.
