Juarez, Mex.—The transitory stage
of the Mexican revolution -Ila pas­
sage from an organised military cam­
paign into a guerilla warfare—
brought nearly 2000 rebel troops here
en route to Casas Grandes and the re­
gion along the Mexican Northwestern
railroad, about 100 miles southwest of
the border.
Hundreds of women and children,
mostly refugees from Chihuahua City,
now In the hands of the federal gov­
ernment, came
with
the troops.
Homeless, they camped in the streets,
cooking thcie meals on curbs and
sleeping in the open.
General Pascual Orosco, the rebel
chief, spent the day at Naus. 80 miles
north of Chihuahua, giving final or­
ders to 8600 cavalry which he directed
westward acrosa country toward Casas
Grandes and the state of Sonora, now
the rebel objective.
Three of five troop trains which left
Bachimba, where the federals defeat­
ed the rebel army two days ago, had
reached here.
Two more are on their
way and General Orosco is said to be
on one of them.
Governor
Felipe
Gutierres 'and
members of the rebel legislature ar­
rived here also. Those who witnessed
the battle of Bachimba said the feder­
ate had every advantage, driving the
rebels away long before they intended
to retreat. When the last troop train
was pulling out of Bachimba a scat­
tered fire from federal cavalry was di­
rected at it, the passengers calling
frantically on the engineer for speed.
Border Situation Peaceful.
KI Pano, Tex. — Colonel Pascua
Orosco Sr., father of the rebel chief,
denied the report from Washington
that the rebels would direct artillery
fire acroas the international line to
destroy the plant of an Ki Paso elec­
tric lighting company to force inter­
vention. The story han been in circu­
lation here for nearly a month, but
officials here representing the Slate
and War departments, after having in­
vestigated, reported that they did not
believe any such contingency was
probable.
Scores of rebel soldiers deserted to
American noil during the day. They
declare dissension between General
Orosco and his staff and lack of money
or food were rapidly decimating the
rebel army.

WOMEN HELP STRIKERS.
Police Assailed in Waterfront Riots
In Havre, Franco.
Havre, France — Women wearing
flaming red sashes took a prominent
part here in the stoning of the police
and military in the riots that followed
expulsion of striking laborers and sea­
men from the docks.
The assailants
threw missile* from windows in the
neighborhood.
The strikers were forced finally to
retire but retreated slowly, erecting
barricades in many of the streets.
They broke all the windows in the two
principal police stations.
Marseilles — The officer* of the
French line steamers decided to join
the striking seamen and dockers.
This completely paralyses the mail
service of the company in the Medi­
terranean. Additional destroyers are
to be requisitioned to carry the mails.
All the docks here are guarded by the
militia.
________
Bordeaux—The strike of the docker*
here in sympsthy with the seamen of
other porta has been only partly effec­
tive. A serioua fight took place be­
tween strikers and policemen on the
arrival of the steamship Magellan
from South America. Several police­
men were injured.
Driver Dies; Horse Wins Race.
Santa Crus, Cal.—John M. Fergu­
son, well known in this state as a
breeder and driver of trotting horses,
was stricken by heart disease while
driving far in the lead in the first trot­
ting event Thursday at Opal Park.
He fell from his sulky, while the
trotter continued under the wire and
again circled the course, halting at
her stall. The races were called off.
There was a previous accident at the
track, when Thomas Halbrook, a driv
er, was kicked by a horse and suffered
a broken leg and other serious injury.
British Spy is Convicted.
Leipric, Germany—Leopold Filers,
a native of the German island of Hel-
geland, but a naturalised citizen of
the United States, was sentenced here
by the Imperial Supreme court to four
years in a penitentiary and six years’
loss of civil rights on a charge of es­
pionage. Eilers was accused of hav­
ing attempted to obtain secret docu­
ments and also the plans of the de­
fenses of Helgeland for delivery to
the British government.
Rural Carrier Destroys Mail.
San Francisco—Henry E. Volherts,
a rural mail carrier of Petaluma, has
been arrested for destroying advertis­
ing postal cards, because, he said, his
route as so large he was unable to de­
liver all the mail. He will appear be­
fore a United States commissioner for

CALIFORNIAN ATTACKS TAFT.
Claim* President’* Renomlnatlon Was
Unjust and Illegal.
Washington, D. C.- Senator Works,
ot California, progressive Republican,
presenting in the senate a resolution
to Investigate recent campaign con­
tributions and expenditures, declared
that President Taft’s renomination had
been procured anjustly and illegally.
California needed no new party, he
said, and the Republican party might
better go down to defeat for the sins
of its leaders and come up four year*
hence than to form a new party.
Senator Work* said bi* resolution
was based on chargee publicly made
by President Taft and ex-President
Roosevelt. The resolution declares It

cials from the president, cabinet offi­
cers and senators down, have engaged

paign and their salaries, the percent­
age of voters in the primaries and

paper writers and the amount of ex­
penses of delegate* paid by others.
The resolution stirred the senate,
but was not acted upon.
Mr. Works
charged that men sent to Washington
to discharge public duties had been
giving their time to carrying on polit­
ical campaigns.
“Doesn’t that apply tn certain mem­
bers of this body," asked Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota.
"I think it does," replied Senator
Worka.
Mr. Worka asserted that a new
party in California would mean turn­

GERMS ON THE FARM.
Useful and Harmful Bacteria Shown So Writes O. A. C. Professor In Jour­
to O. A. C. Summer Students.
nal of Homo Economics.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor­
vallis — Germs which cause milk to
sour, bacteria which dispose of filth
and which aid in making the soil
more fertile, and microbe*
which
cause disease were shown through a
powerful microscope to the students of
the college summer session by Prof.
T. D. Beckwith.
“Some people still believe
that
thunder showers are somehow related
to the souring of milk,'* said Prof.
Beckwith. “They are not.
If you
put milk in a cold box, it will keep
sweet from 24 to 48 hours, but if it
is in a warm room it will sour in 18
hours.
There is some relation, not
between thunder showers and the
souring of the milk, but between the
temperature and this change in the
milk.
I “The change is produced by the
activity of germs.
We hold up our
hands in horror when we speak of
germa, microbes and bacteria. But
we owe our lives to many of these,
which are too small to be seen with
the naked eye.“
Prof. Beckwith then showed through
the microscope some bacteria which
cause the souring of milk, magnified
1,400,000 timea.
"How large are'they ?’* be contin­
ued. “These particular ones are so
small that it you take 16,000 of them
and put them so tWht they just touch,
you will have a line one inch long.
With the naked eye, if you have good
eyes, you can not see anything smaller
than one-two-hundredth of an inch.
Most germs are colorless; some,
however, have a red. brown, blue or
dirty cream color.
“Germs are alive. Milk sours be­
cause it becomes highly populated
with little bits of microscopic plants.
If you have typhoid fever you are
sick because you have become a great
garden of diseaae plants, which, as
they grow, give off a poison. It is to
our advantage to have milk sour prop­
erly and not too soon.
“It is safe to say that an ordinary
human being voids 83,000,000,000,000
(thirty-three million million) germs
a day. Most of these come out by
way of the feces. Since a cow is so
much larger an animal, bow much
greater must be the number of germa
which it throws off each day. What
do you think of the farmer who keeps
his cow in a dark, muddy stable, wet,
dripping with manure, or in summer
time in the dry season allows it to ac­
cumulate an armor of manure? Every
bit of the filth is full of germs, which,
if they get into the milx, will produce
abnormal changes, some of them
breeding disease.”
Washington, D. C. — The Federal
government closed the fiscal year with
a surplus of 82,000,000, according to
estimates based on incomplete returns
from the various sources of revenue
the country over.
This amount far
exceeded the expectations of Secretary
MacVeagh, who months ago estimated
that the surplus would be 810,260,000.
The surplus at the close of the fiscal
year 1911 was 846,682,000.
The failure of congress to pass gen­
eral deficiency and other appropriation
bills which would have called for large
disbursements during the closing days
of the fiscal year helped the govern­
ment to pile up its surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax, which, it is
calculated, brought in 827,000,000,
against 833,000,000 last year.
Custom receipts yielded about 8310,-
000,000 this fiscal year, against 8314,-
000,000 last year, while internal reve­
nue taxes amounted to 8292,000,000,
a* against 8289,000,000.
The taxation on beer indicates that
American people consumed 63,000,000
barrels during the year. The govern­
ment realized 8149,000,000 on distilled
spirits, 863,000,000 on beer and 870,-
000,000 on tobacco.

Famous Engineer Dead.
Toronto — Cecil Brunswick Smith,
one of the best-known railway and
hydro-electric engineers in the world,
died at his home here of cancer. He
was 48 years old. Nearly every hydro­
electric plant in America was either
designed or built by Smith.
He was
a graduate of McGill university and a
former president of the Canadian So­
ciety of Civil Engineers. He was the
author of several well-known text­
books on engineering.

Rural Business Management Helps to
Make Farms Pay.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor­
vallis—The fact that the U. S. De­
partment of Agriculture has estab­
lished an office of farm management
and that the civil service commission
recently held examinations to secure
men eligible for appointment as assist­
ants in farm cost accounting, is suffi­
cient indication of the growing realiz­
ation of the importance of better bus­
iness methods on the farm.
If any further recognition of the
fact were needed, it may be found in
the great number of letters requesting
information on the subject which are
received daily by Dean J. A. Bexell,
of the O. A. C. school of commerce,
whose text book, “Farm Accounting
and Business Methods," is in use
throughout the United States and
abroad.
Men in Germany, England
and Australia have written him re­
garding it.
“No farmer has a reasonable excuse
to offer for wasting valuable time and
labor on crops which, because of cli­
matic or economic conditions, can not
yield adequate returns," said Mr.
Bexell.
“Accurate records and ac­
counts are absolutely necessary in the
management of every business enter­
prise. No business can be successful
in the long run unless its condition
can be determined at any time, and no
conservative business man will fail to
prepare a financial statement at the
end of his fiscal year. He must deter­
mine how he stands, not only with
others, but with himself.
“One object of keeping accounts is
to assist in accumulating property.
Another important object is to record
a continuous history of business trans­
actions for future guidance. Not only
is this profitable, but it is a source of
real pleasure and satisfaction to know
our standing with those with whom
we deal as well as the profits and
losses in our business enterprises.”

mately 12 per cent were ordered.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor­
vallis—That cake is a concentrated
food, the average slice containing
practically as much food value as one
and one-half glasses of milk, is the
opinion of Prof. Ava B. Milam, of the
domestic science department at the
Oregon Agricultural College, in the
first of a series of scientific articles on
“Factors Affecting the Economic and
Dietetic Value of Foods,” in the cur­
rent number of the Journal of Home
Economies. “When an article of diet
comes into as general use as has cake,
the factors affecting ita economic and
dietetic value as well as its quality
justify study," says Miss Milam.
“There is a lack of definite knowl­
edge of these factors and inadequate
means of controlling the conditone.
The purpose of the study was to show
the effect of varying the kind and
form of ingredients on the quality,
the cost, and the economic and dietetic
value of cakes.
“The work was carried out on a
typical whole egg and butter cake,
one of a close grain and fine texture.
Among the interacting points in the
paper are the following : The cost of
cakes may be reduced, from the stand­
point of time consumed in mixing, by
melting as well as creaming the fat
used—a saving of half the time of
mixing. The best cakes are made by
the use of the fine pastry flours, al­
though good cakes may be made with
bread flour. The high gluten content
in bread flour is undesirable in cakes.
The form of sugar used greatly
affects the quality of the cake with
little effect on the cost Powdered
sugar is most easily and thoroughly
mixed in the solid state. Cakes of as
good quality are obtained by using
water as by using milk, either whole
or condensed. When water is used the
cake costs one and one-half cents lees
than when milk is used, but the food
value is also decreased.
Egg* are
essential, serving as leavening agents
and influencing the flavor, texture,
grain, and food value.
If fresh pow­
ders are used a fairly good cake may
be made with desiccated eggs if the
fresh ones are not available.
Reduc­
ing the amount of butter in the stand­
ard 3-cup flour recipe, from three-
fourths to half cup of butter, the food
value is lowered but the quality seems
improved. If the cakes are not eaten
warm, lard substitute* that are fresh
may be used instead of butter.
Colonel Intends to Appeal to Farmer*

Oyster'Bay, N. Y.— A campaign
along novel lines haa been sketched in

the candidate of the aew progressive
party for the presidency. Colonel
Roosevelt intend* to make an appeal

tention will be paid to the high cost of

Fuel Oil Laws Conflict.
Vancouver, B. C. — The Canadian
shipping act makes it compulsory that
fuel oil used on steamers shall flash

permit the free entry only of fuel oil
that will flash below 200. The steamer
Washtenaw, here with 26,000 barrels
of California oil for the Canadian Pa­

AIRSHIP BURSTS;

Vaniman Dirigible Balloon Ex*

Feet to Earth.
Atlantic City, N. J.—Mrs. Vaniman
and the wives of three member* of th*
dirigible balloon Akron’s crew, stand­
ing on the veranda of the Vaniman
cottage near Brigantine beach, early
Thursday, saw the great dirigible ex­
plode and then dart down from midair,
carrying their husband* to death in
nine feet of water in about a second.
The women screamed and covered
thpir faces and Mrs. Vaniman fainted,
but all shortly recovered and rushed
with 2000 other spectator* toward the
place where the balloon fell, killing
Vaniman and four other*.
A* the mighty dirigible plunged
downward a body was seen to deatcb
itself from the blazing mass and fall
into the water 60 feet from where the
balloon sank.
It was recovered by
Councilman Harry Cook and A. T.
Bell, who put out in a motor boat, and
was identified as that of Calvin Vani­
man, brother of Melvin. The center
dynamo and the badly mutilated and
burned conditon of the body showed
that the main force of the explosion
must have been directly opposite the
middle of the car.
William Hili, United States revenue
offiaial, who saw the accident, said:
■ “We were watching the big ship
closely, remarking upon the beautiful
spectacle, the morning sun making
the huge bag glisten like gold, when I
noticed a whirl of smoke at the stern.
I remember glancing at my watch and
noting that it was exacty 6:42.
The
ship was between 700 and 800 feet
up, in my estimation.
“The smoke gained in volume and
the ship seemed to stagger.
The
smoke continued to increase for a
minute or two, running apparently
the whole length of the engine room
beneath the great bag, and then there
was a frightful concussion, like the
firing of a great gun.
"The next instant the ship appeared
to be a great mass of flame. It
seemed to me that the stern had been
entirely blown out.
Then I saw the
whole thing was tumbling down to the
sea and I closed my eyes. There was
a great uprising of gas and flames and
then it was all over, but the folds of
the big yellow bag just visible above
the sea."
Captain Frank Adams, of the light
bouse, and Captain Frank Doughey, of
Inlet Fleet, were among the first to
reach the scene of the disaster. They
found only tangled wreckage and no
sign of life. Captain Parker, of the
lifesaving station, rushed out in the
government’s high-power boat and
confirmed the report of the yachts­
men. He reported the Akron lying in
nine feet of water in a slough at the
end of Brigantine beach, with the top
of the big yellow gas bag billowing in
the gentle breeze.
The body of Walter Guest was re­
covered from the wreck of the dirig­
ible about two hours later. It was
mangled about the head and legs, and
most of the clothing was blown off.
