How San Francisco Has Mads Use of
$9,000,000, Relief Funds.
San Francisco, Aug. 20. The Relief
Corporation has issued a statement
summing up the work that it has done
from the time of the fire to the present
evacuation of the camps. The state
ment says:
"The efforts of the corporation to
provide permanent homes for the sul
ferers from the catastrophe will com
plete the administiation of the $9,000,
000,000 of the relief fund. The amount
in money that was received by the cor
poration amounted to $3,357,933.03, be
sides free transportation and the sup
plies donated from various Bourecs.
The sum of $906,000 subscribed is still
outstanding, $700,000 of which is in the
hands of the American National Red
Cross.
"In the three months immediately
following the fire, known as the eraer
gency period, $2,060,000 was spent for
clothing, food, shelter, distribution of
supplies, sanitation, aid to the sick and
injured and aid to neighboring cities
bince the permanent organization on
August 1, 1906, of the Relief and Red
Cross Funds corporation the expendi
ture has been $6,226,000. Nearly $3,
000,000 of this sum has been used for
small loans, mostly fcr the purpose of
assisting people who had acquired lots
in the city to erect homes on them
The result is shown in the building of
1,367 cottages. The remainder has
been spent as follows:
'furniture and household necessi
ties, $1,260,000: tools for artists and
professional men and to assist business
men, $513,000; transportation, $41,
000; sewing machines, $37,000; relief
of various kinds, $627,000.
"The department of lands and build
ings has spent for the construction of
dwelling houses in the parks and for
the fitting up of the Ingleside camp for
old people, $900,000. Bonuses to the
amount of $402,000 have been given
to people erecting buildings in the
burned district. Eight hundred and
forty-three buildings have brought the
owners such a reward, the bonuses rep
resenting 12 per cent of the cost of the
building. A permanent home fcr those
who are too old to care for themselves
and have no means is being erected at
a cost of $900,000.
Ninety-five thousand dollars has
been administered by the bureau of
special relief for a variety of needs,
such as medical services, milk ' for
children, special delicacies for children,
artificial limbs, spectacles, sewing ma
chines, stoves, etc. The bureau of
hoepitals has cared for 4,750 patients
at an expense of $170,000. The indus
trial bureau has spent $35,000 for the
establishment of social halls, the main
tenance of sewing centers, kindergar
tens, etc. For the rehabilitation of
hospitals and charitable societies $360,-
000 has been expended, which, how
ever, is not sufficient lor the purpose.
The plans of the corporation for the
winter include additional aid to the
needy institutions, the caring for abott
200 women and children in the hospit
als, the maintenance of the Ingleside
camp and the assistance of those who
are in real need of charity."
NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
GOOD PAY FOR HOP PICKERS.
Pay
Largest Growers In State Will
SI. 10 Per Hundred.
Portland Fifty-five cents a box is
the price that will be paid for picking
hops In the Willamette valley this fall.
Krebs, Bros., the largest growers in the
state, announce that they will pay
$1.10 per hundred for picking on tWr
yards at Independence and Brooks.
Other growers have not announced any
fixed price, but as the competition for
pickers is always strong, it is more
than probable that this price will have
to be met in all the hop-growing sec
tions. "We have decided to pay $1.10 per
hundred for picking our crop of hops,"
said Conrad Krebs. "We feel, notwith
standing the prospects of a low market,
that the pickers are entitled to a fair
remuneration for their services. High
wages are being paid for all kinds of
labor, consequently the price paid for
picking should be in proportion. Fur
thermore, the hoppickers have nothing
to do with the market. They did not
receive any more on a 30-cent market
when the growers were piling up a for
tune, therefore they are entitled to
good pay now regardless of the market.
The crop of the state looks as well
as could be expected. There is not
much foliage, which will make it very
profitable for pickers. We have never
had a finer crop than this year in our
own yards."

New York, Aug. 20. "Young girls

some useful work to occupy thei
thoughts they would not run to such

International Socialist congress opened

the Socialist leader in the reichstag,

Now 80 Cents

Portland Butter is going to be an
expensive luxury in the Portland mar
ket in the coming fall and winter. A
dollar a roll or more will before long be
the price charged at the retail stores.
The price is now 80 cents, and during
the remainder of the year the advance i V 7
: 4.- i ' has been
Butter prices are rising all over the
country. The consumption, taken as a
whole, exceeds the production, and for
this reason but little surplus butter has
been put into cold storage during the
flush season in the big butter centers of
the United States. The current make,
until next spring, will have to satisfy
all requirements, and as the produc
tion naturally lessens at this time of
year, the natural result is a rise in
prices.
Two weeks ago the Portland market
was raised 2 cents, to 32 cents a
pound at wholesale. The officials of
the Hazelwood Cream comnanv. at its
last meeting, decided on another 2- back-tracking,
cent advance. As all the city creamery ; streams,
companies are running shorter than given an
last month, the new price will prob
ably be general immediately. Last
year at this time the highest wholesale
price of butter in Portland was 32
cents, and the 35-cent mark was not
reached until December 6. Two years
ago at this time butter was worth 30
cents, and the highest price in that
year was 32 cents wholesale.
SUCCESS OF IRRIGATION.
Wonderful Progress Being Made In
Bend District.
Bend Expressions of surprise and
satisfaction were frequently uttered by
the Governor and other members of the
party that came to Bend recently for
the purpose of investigating the condi
tion of the reclamation projects that
have been started in this vicir.ity.
While the representatives of the state
and the government have not yet given
attention to the details of their task,
and are not in a position to express an
opinion which will indicate their final
conclusions, they freely voiced their
pleasure over the rapid progress that
has been made in . agriculture in the
Deschutes country.
Three years ago, when the state land
board made its first visit of inspection
to the Deschutes project, there was not
an irrigated field within the limits of
either of the immense tracts set apart
for reclamation. The party that came
to Bend passed dozens of irrigated
fields, where settlers have transformed
sage brush plains into fields of alfalfa,
wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and garden
vegetables. The view of these many
thrifty, growing crops was a practical
demonstration oi the success or nnga
tion on the Deschutes, for fields were
seen where two crops of alfalfa, aggre
gating three tons to the acre, were cu
on land seeded down last season, and
where fully matured wheat of first class
quality has been harvested long before
the frost season has arrived.
Three years ago there was scarcely a
settler's cabin on . the whole 140,000
acres which the Deschutes company
had undertaken to reclaim. Today
there are 250 families residing on the
farm lands, 120,000 acres are green
with growing crops, many more farai
lies have applied for lands and will
come here to make homes when water
supplied and several thousand
acres have been cleared and plowed
this year ready lor production oi crops
next year.
TURNING POINT REACHED.
Both Sides In Strike Expect They Can
Win Fight v.
CVicago, Aug. 19. Important devel
opments in the strike of the Commer
cial Telegraphers are looked for today
by both disputants. Confident that
the strike has spent its force, and that
the turning point has been reached, the
telegraph companies look for a stain
pede of the strikers to regain their for
mer positions.
Cheered by the repoits they have re
ceived from the various cities affected,
the strike leaders on the other hand
are prepared to prosecute the fight
more vigorously than ever.
Aaccording to advices received at
union headquarters, the messenger boys
and check clerks in , New York are
scheduled to go out today. Broker
firms throughout the country have been
given until noon today to sign contracts
with their operators or suffer the conse
quences of a walkout.
Three hundred operators employed
by the Ameircan Telephone & Telegraph
company throughout the Southwest
may be called out before night, unless
a 10 per cent increase in wages is grant
ed. This is one of the trump cards
which President Small expects to play,
If the order is issued it will isolate
Ch'cago from the rest of the country,
so far as telephonic communication is
concerned.

County Court Aids Fair.
Oregon City Permanent organiza
tion of the Clackamas County Fair as
sociation is now complete and the pro
motel s of the scheme for an annual
county fair are encouraged by the ac
tion of the county court, which has
offered to appropriate $450 as soon as
organization is complete. The legisla
ture of 1905 authorized county courts to
expend $500 annually for advertising
the county, and it is this fund that the
Fair association will utilize. The fair
will be held this year October 9, 10 and
11, on the Chautauqua grounds, in
Gladstone Park.

Young Italian Blacksmith Finds New
Method of Preservation.
Paris, Aug. 19. The scientific and
medical world is greatly interested in
the diecovery of a young blacksmith, of
Rome, to preserve corpses fresh and in

serum which kills the micro-organisin s

It is said to be the secret of the in

Board of Health Takes Drastic Meas

ban Francisco, Aug. ltf. Hve cases
of bubonic plague, four of which have
resulted in death, have been reported
to the Health department within the
past week. The patients, with one ex
ception, were of the poorer class of
foreigners dwelling in the neighbor
hood of the old Chinatown. The ex
ception was a foreign sailor taken from
a coastwise steamer.
Prompt and active measures were
taken by the local, state and Federal
authorities, and spread of the disease
is not feared. Both President Jules A.
Simon, of the health board, and Health
Officer James T. Watkins stated today
that the situation is well in hand and
no occasion exists for alarm. The in
fected steamer was ordered into quar
antine with her passengers and will so
remain until released by the Health
department. The two shacks inhab
ited by the other patients were fumi
gated, locked up and sealed.
The bodies of the two Mexicans, Ital
ian and Russian Pole, who succumbed,
were destroyed in quicklime.
Chicago, Aug. 17. Despite the issu
ance of the general strike order by Pres

was not materially changed yesterday.
All of the men who were' disposed to
strike were already out. It was believ
ed by the officials of the union that the
order would paralyze a number of brok
erage and commission houses, but no
additional strikes were reported.
Both the Postal and Westein Union in-
created forces on the board. They both
reported the situation as steadily im
proving and occasional applications
from the strikers for their old positions.
The improvement in the Associated,
Press service was marked. A number
of towns on the West, North and South

The Postal company says business,

but that with seven day operators in

less than half the usual volume of bus

ies claim to be keeping up fairly well,.
especially to Pacific coast points.

lines is in Cow Creek canyon, Oregon,

Strikers and Companies in Fight to
Finish at Portland.
Portland, Aug. 17. Locally, the-
striking telegraphers and the telegraph
companies are organizing their forces-
for a finish fight. There were two de
fections from the union yesterday.
Otherwise the situation in Portland
remains unchanged, and the sending'
and receiving of telegrams continues
seriously interrupted. The issuance of
a general strike order by National Pres
ident Small, of the Commercial Tele
graphers' union, has served only to-
magnify the seriousness of the situation
outside of Portland, since operators who.
had before hesitated to join the rank
of their striking associates cheerfully
left the keys yesterday. The result was
to more completely paralyze the tele
graphic business of the country.
It was expected that a crisis might
be reached yesterday, but the possibili
ty of a settlement seems even farther
removed. No sooner had the order for-
a general strike been issued by Presi
dent Small than the Western Union;
officials issued instructions to all local'
managers to refuse to reinstate any
more of the Btriking telegraphers.
