Steel Magnate Urges Co-operation
and Stability.
New York The arguments with
which Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the directors of the United States
iron and
his
guests at a recent luncheon to discuss
the independent action of the Republic
Iron and Steel company in reducing
prices, were made public by him
Tuesday. They threw added light on
what occurred behind the closed doors
at the Metropolitan club, where the
conference was held.
Mr. Gary argued for continuing co
operation among the steel makers and
for stability in prices, but his ap
parent wishes on the price question
were overruled by a general difficulty
to meet the cuts of the Republic com
pany. In his remarks, Mr. Gary
touched upon the possibility of wage
reductions, the value of fair dealings
and frankness by great corporations
in view of the recent Supreme court
decision in the Standard Oil case.
OLD FARMS LURE AGAIN.
Call
24 Walla IWalla Families Heed
"Back to Country.",
Walla Walla, Wash. "Back to the
farm," is a cry that has a real mean
ing in Walla Walla. More than two
dozen families have left the city for
their abandoned farms within the past
two weeks. More have announced
their intention of so doing and it is
believed that within a year the desert
ed homesteads will be reinhabited.
More than a score of vacant houses
in the city have been left by farmers
who have gone back to their ranches
and several city homes have been put
on the market for sale. It is not the
usual summer exodus to the farms.
It is the belief that the farm is a de
sirable place to live and the deserted
farmhouses are to be full of life again
after years of desertion.
Huge Depot Dedicated.
Chicago The Chicago & North
western railway's new passenger sta
tion, the second largest passenger ter
minal in the world used by only one
road, was formally opened here Sun
day. The terminal covers 20 acres.
The station yard covers 343,040 square
feet, and the building section 69,760
square feet. Sixteen tracks with a
capacity of 200 cars enter the train
shed, giving the station a capacity of
250,000 passengers a day. The total
cost of the station was $23,750,000,
$11,500,000 being for real estate.
Chicago Police Doubt Tale.
Chicago Chicago police discredit
the purported confession of John De-
laney in Muskogee, Okla., Saturday,
in which he said he had, at the direc
tion of John J. McNamara, secretary
and treasurer of the International
Association of Bridge and Ironwork
ers, selected buildings in ditlerent
cities for destruction by dynamite,
among them being a viaduct in Chi
cago, which was, he said, blown up in
February, 1907.
Mexico to Send New Man,
Mexico City Announcement is
made of the appointment of Gilbert O,
Crespoy Martinez as ambassador to
Washington to succeed Manuel de
Zamacona, who probably will be re
turned to London as the government's
financial agent. Since Zamacona's ap
pointment as ambassador, the Ixmdon
post has been filled by Pahlo
Macero, who resigned last week.
Klamath Glad Government Is Holding
Location Near Keno.
Klamath Falls The directors of the
Klamath Water Users' association
feel elated over the order issued by
the secretary of the interior, counter
manding the order for the sale of the
government power site on the Kamath
river near Keno. At the inception of
the Klamath reclamation project this
power site was purchased at a cost of
$10,000. The government abandoned
the lands above the gravity canal and
consequently has no use for the power
for pumping purposes, but the direc
tors of the Water Users' association
feel that while the pump lands have
in most instances been eliminated
from the Klamath project, the time is
coming when they will again become
a portion of the project and the power
will then be needed.
The directors appealed to Congress
man Hawley and through him the
matter was presented to the Interior
department. In order to hold the site
the government has to do a certain
amount of development work and the
reclamation service is now performing
this work. It is not known Iwhat will
be the ultimate disposition of the
power site, but the directors are plan
ning to acquire title to the property
by adding its cost to the Klamath pro
ject. By this method it would pass
into full control of the association as
soon as the land owners paid back to
the government the money expended
in building the irrigation system.
Several corporations were ready to
bid on the site and had it not been for
the timely action taken by the water
users the sale would have been made
and in later years the land owners
might have been forced to pay a high
price for power to some private cor
cern.
SHEEPMEN ENTER PROTEST.
FRUITMEN INDUSTRIOUS.
Assessment Against Their Property
Said to Be Too High.
Baker Declaring'that sheep are as
sessed out of proportion to their mar
ket value, and that the sheepmen of
the county of Baker are paying more
than their proportion of the taxes on
the county and state, the legislative
committee of the Baker-Union Wool
growers' association has drafted res
olutions to the state board of tax com
missioners asking the board to use its
infleunce with county assessors
throughout the state to have sheep as
sessed at a lower rate. Members of
the local association say that this is a
state-wide movement. Similar res
olutions will be Bent in from every
sheep county in the state. The res
olutions say that ewes are sold on the
market for $2 and yearlings for $1.50
to $2, while ewes are assessed at $6
and yearlings at $5.50 in Baker coun
ty. The sheepmen also assert that
Jerry Fleetwood, the county assessor,
s a cattleman and is inclined to give
the sheepmen the worst of it.
Lebanon and Brownsville Folk Have
Fine Section.
Portland That Brownsville and
Lebanon will build up one of the best
fruit districts of the state in regard to
growing and preserving small fruits
is the belief of J. D. Lee, who visited a
meeting at the former place of people
interested in the industry.
Mr. Lee went to Brownsville as the
representative of the Portland commer
cial club and made an address encour
aging the organization of fruitgrow
ers unions in that distinct.
"This is a very fertile district,"
said Mr. Lee, "and the future is
bright in this industry. Conditions
are right for the formation of a fruit
union in Brownsville, which probably
win combine with the similar organ
ization already in operation at Leb
anon.
I . T. 1
oernes, cnerries, pears, and in
fact all the fruits common to this cli
mate thrive remarkably well in that
region. From the earliest time in the
state s history the people of that dis
trict have had a reputation for being
pioneers in progressive work and all
that is required at this time is the re
incarnation of the old spirit; organiz
ation ana activity along progressive.
modern lines. We had a good audi
ence with a delegation from Lebanon
and I think our meeting awakened a
greater interest in fruit culture and
its preservation."
NEW REPUBLIC IS BORN.
FRUIT PEST CRUSADE.
Lower California Rebels Cut Loose
From Mexico.
Tia Juana. Lower California The
insurrectos in Tia Juana, Lower Cali
fornia, have severed connection with
the Mexican Liberal party, elected
Dick Ferris resident of the new re
public of Lower California, and de
cided to await word from General
Pryce before choosing a new general,
Pryce to have the preference if he re
turns. He is expected in a few days.
Ferris is a Los Angeles promoter.
In last year's state campaign he was a
candidate for the lieutenant governor
ship nomination at the Republican di
rect primaries.
The rebels' action followed an ad
dress to the insurrectos, who now
number about 150 men, by Louis
James, a rebel captain. A new flag
and new constitution are being pre
pared.
Captain James told the rebels that
they should drop all connection with
the Mexican Liberal party, with all
other organizations in the United
States, form a provisional government
and demand recognition of Francisco
Madero and his party in Mexico prop
er. General Pryce went to Los Angeles
to learn from the junta what became
of the men he sent up there with a
considerable sum of money to buy am
munition and supplies for the rebels
at lia Juana.
The ammunition and supplies failed
to come.
The men are out of ammunition,
have no prospect of obtaining sup
plies, and are said to be on the point
of selling their guns and Quitting
Lower California. The camp has
been divided into several disgruntled
factions.
Agricultural College Experts Begin
Summer Campaign.
Corvallis The campaign for the
eradication of crop pests in Oregon
has commenced and will be in full
force by July 1, says Dean A. B. Cord-
ley, of the Agricultural college. Col
lege experts have made several pre
liminary, trips about the state and
Dean Cordley will visit Eugene to
make arrangements to establish head
quarters there. Professor H. F. Wil
son spent the latter part of the past
week at Independence and Salem in
vestigating the diseases reported to
have been making ravages on the hop
and fruit crops of this vicinity. It
has been decided to have headquarters
at Portland, balem and Eugene.
LOPEZ EXECUTED AS TRAITOR
SEATTLE MAN BUYS IN OREGON
One of the Finest Orchards Brings
$76,000, for 90 Acres.
Grants Pass Fred G. Cutler, of Se
attle, has purchased the Elmer Shank
orchard, four miles down the river,
for the sum of $75,000. This tract of
land consists of 90 acres in fruit, 50
acres in bearing trees 12 years old,
and balance in five-year-old trees.
The output last year was 18,000 boxes
of merchantable apples. This is one
of the best orchards in the country
and the price is the largest ever paid
for a single orchard in this vicinity.
Cutler will immediately bring his
family to Rogue River valley to pass
the summer. A few years ago this
land was sold to Shank for one-half
the present price. Since that time the
new land has been brought to a high
state of cultivation and the number of
earing trees greatly increased.
Alaska Mines Sold.
Cordova, Alaska Representatives
of the London Exploration company,
the Pearson Syndicate, are here clos
ing a deal for the purchase of more
than 50 gold quartz claims in the
McKinley lake district near this city.
The purchase price is approximately
$500,000.
Larger Purchase is Urged.
Salem State 'Senator Patton and
Representative Reynolds, of Marion
county, waited on Governor West and
Secretary Olcott Monday urging them
as members of the state board to buy
the entire block east of the present
capitol grounds instead of half a block
originally planned. This will be
the site for the additional canitol
building for which $150,000 was ap
propriated by the last legislative
assembly.
Rush Keeps Land Office Busy.
Lakeview The government land
office here is worked to its full capa
city looking after the many filings of
land throughout this land district.
People from all parts of the country are
coming in preparatory to getting
lands before the completion of the
railroad from the South that is now
under construction, with over 400 men
at work grading near Davis creek, the
rapidly growing town at the lower end
of the valley.
Immigration Commission Named,
Salem Members of the state board
of immigration commissioners vrm
named by Governor West. They are:
W. E. Coman, John M. Scott, LeRoy
Park, Portland; Thomas C. Burke,
Baker; and A. F. Hofer, Jr., Salem.
Cold Holds Wheat Back.
Condon Owing to the cold and
backward weather in this county this
spring, grain crops in this locality are
about two weeks behind the average
season. While the gram is not suffer
ing from want of moisture in most
sections of the county, a hard rain at
this time would be a vast benefit and
this in particular applies to the north
end of the county. Farmers about
Condon and south of here claim they
have ample moisture and are anxious
to see warm weather. Fall grain is
doing well and will do well if a good
rain is had in June and the fore part
of July, which has seldom failed in
this county, but spring grain which
was sown late should have rain in the
next ten days in order to insure a good
aveage crop.
Benedict Arnold of Mexican Rebels
Pays Penalty of Turncoats.
Cananea, Mexico "Red" Lopez,
who was ordered imprisoned by Fran
cisco I. Madero, Jr., on the charge
that he had "sold out" to American
interests while in command of a sec
tion of the insurrecto garrison at
Agua Prieta, has been executed. Lo
pez was being conveyed from Agua
Prieta to Hermosillo to begin the
serving of an eight-year sentence.
Conflicting stories are told by the
guard which was accompanying Lopez.
One is to the effect that the former
insurrecto leader had attempted to
escape and was shot; another that he
pleaded to be executed rather than be
taken to prison. It is alleged also
that Lopez had confessed to having
received $4,000 for the surrender of
Agua Prieta to the Federals.
SCORES BIG TRUSTS
Taft Says Lumber and Paper Com
bines Oppose Reciprocity.
Confident Agreement Will Pass
Prove Beneficial Thinks Peo
ple Approve Measure.
and
Chicago President Taft, in a
speech before the Western Economic
society, here, declared that the princi
pal opposition to the Canadian reci
procity agreement came not from the
farmer, but from the lumber trust and
from American manufacturers of
print paper.
In one of the most conspicuous ad
dresses that he has ever made on
this subject, the president outlined
some of the methods employed by the
advocates of the reciprocity agree
ment; he practically told others that
they were being "buncoed" by special
interests, and said that the result de
pended not so much upon the United
States senate as upon the people.
"If the farmer and the people at
large," he said, "could be brought
to understand this question they would
no longer fear to vote."
The president was not sparing in his
words. He told the reasons for the
opposition to the treaty by the lumber
trust and by the paper manufacturers
and, without using names, scored any
firm any of whose members recently
appeared before the senate finance
committee in Washington ostensibly
on behalf of the national grange.
In spite of the forces that are ar
raigned against it, the president ex
pressed the belief that the bill will be
passed.
"The bill," he said, "will be
passed, if it is passed at all, because
the force of public opinion is in its
favor."
FLY IS DEATH TO BEETLE.
MATCH TRUST MILITANT.
Sea Lion Season on Soon.
Marshfield The season for hunting
sea lions on the Curry county coast
will begin soon. It is likely that some
of the local fishermen who have sea
going boats will hunt for the sea lions.
In past years the industry has been
carried on quite extensively. There
are many sea lions along different
points on Curry county and they are
valuable for the fat, which is used for
oil, and for the hides, which are
tanned and used in making belting.
The sea lions are shot and picked up
by gasoline boats.
May Wettest in Astoria.
Astoria According to the records
in Weather Observer Gilmore's office
the past month has been an exception
ally wet one in Astoria. The total
rainfall during May was 6.88 inches,
an excess of 3.-08 inches over the aver
age for the corresponding month of
previous years, which was 3.8 inches.
Since 1854, when the first weather re
cords were kept here, there were four
months of May in which the rainfall
exceeded that of the present month.
Diamond Company Issues Ultimatum
Against Stubborn Independents.
Tacoma, Wash. Putting the ban on
the dealers of .Tacoma, the Diamond
Match company, known as the trust,
has served notice that they will not
be allowed to handle its product if
they sell the Tacoma-made match now
being turned out at the new factory
on Chambers creek by the Pacific
Coast Match company.
Formal notification has been given
to the West Coast Grocery company
which for 20 years has distributed
"trust" matches, and S. A. Nourse,
of the grocery company, has retorted
if that is the way the trust feels about
it, it can go hang. His company, he
said, would handle the Tacoma match
and the consultation came to a speedy
termination with the home-made arti
cle still on the market.
Cotton Crop Looms Big.
Washington, D. C. Present indica
tions point to the present year's cot
ton crop as the largest the country has
ever produced, according to govern
ment experts. The crop will be great
er by about 2,500,000 bales than the
average and larger by nearly 400,000
bales than the biegest crop the coun
try ever raised that of 1904. Pro
vided conditions as favorable as those
which have prevailed during the last
10 years continue this season, there
should be harvested this year more
than 14,000,000 bales.
Parasite that Will Kill Douglas Fir
Enemy Is Discovered.
Seattle, Wash. The bark bettle,
which destroys Douglas fir throughout
the timbered districts of the United
States to the extent of almost $100,
000,000 annually, and which was be
lieved by expert entomologists to be
without a parasite, has been found to
have a deadly enemy.
Professor Trevor Kincaid, head of
the department of zoology at the Uni
versity of Washington, is the discov
erer. The parasite is a small red fly
with smoky wings and a long stinger
like organ behind. The parasite in
stinctively discovers the beetle and
lays its eggs in the bettle's tunnel.
Professor Kincaid gays the newly
discovered parasite will destroy from
25 to 50 per cent of a colony of beet
les in one season. The discovery was
made in Ravenna park, in Seattle,
while Professor Kincaid was out in
the woods with one of his classes.
Professor Kincaid attained prom
inence by his discovery of a parasite
on the gypsy moth, which was des
troying millions of dollars' worth of
fruit trees annually,

which is nearly completed. The com
pany has 60 acres planted to trees and
about 200 acres in grain, with an ad
ditional 300 acres in alfalfa and tim

the 12-foot level and then released
several times.
Hood River Builds Macadam Road.
Hood River This county is buildinu
four miles of macadam road this year
two miles on the East side and two on
the West side, main trunk lines.
Salmon Catch Improved.
Astoria Since the warmer weather
began there has been quite an improve
ment in the runs of salmon and the
gillnetters during the past two or
three days have been making fairly
good catches. While the season thus
far, is regarded generally as a poor
one, one or tne canners says mat tne
nack to date is fully equal to the
amount put up at the corresponding
time a year ago.
Peach Orchards Yield Heavy.
Hood River Athough most of the
peach trees of Hood River valley have
but little fruit on them this season,
C. H. Stranahan reports that the trees
of his orchard are overloaded and that
he has found it necessary to thin away
more than one-half of the fruit. On a
twig less than five inches long there
are 10 large, well-shaped peaches. i
Floating Log Saves Life.
McAlester, Okla. After floating on
a log in a flooded stream for nearly 20
hours, Mrs. Sallie Tripp, who with her
mother and two brothers was swept
into the Canadian river by a freshet,
was found in Gaines creek, two miles
above where that stream empties into
the Canadian. Mrs. Tripp was uncon
scious. Physicians said she had
chance for recovery. Her mother,
Mrs. Glover, and her two brothers
were lost.
Burned Timber Bill Up.
Washington, D. C. The house pub
lic lands committee has favorably re
ported a bill authorizing homestead
settlers whose lands were burned over
by forest fires last summer to sell all
the timber seriously injured or killed
by fires and pocket the receipts. The
bill also authorizes the secretary of
the interior to sell burned timber on
public lands. An effort will be made
to pass the bill this session so as to
afford relief to settlers.
Postal Bank is Coming.
Washington, D. C The Postoflice
department has announced that begin
ning July 1 postal savings banks will
be opened in the large cities of the
country and that in all probability one
of the first of these big banks will be
opened at Portland, Or. Plans have
not yet been perfected, but it is also
probable that postal banks will be
opened this summer or fall in Seattle,
Tacoma and Spokane also.
American Warships Escorted
Stockholm By Pleasure Craft.
Stockholm, June 5. The second di
vision of the United States Atlantic
fleet, composed of ithe battleships
Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire
and South Carolina, arrived here today
for a week's visit. The battleships,
which left Copenhagen June 1, were
met off the Aland archipelago by a
large fleet of gaily-decorated excur
sion steamers, which escorted them
into the harbor.
Immediately after the flagship
Louisiana came to anchor the com
mander of the fortress sent an officer
to greet and welcome Rear Admiral
Badger, commanding the division.
Visits were then exchanged between
Admiral Badger and the commander
in chief of the Swedish squadron in
the harbor.
