CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Briet General Resume of Important Event« Presented in Condensed Form for Our Busy Reader*. It is reported that rj rales of Mexico are joining the forces of General Diax. Governor Johnson, Roosevelt’s run ning mate, will fill many of his dates. Colonel Roosevelt was somewhat wearied by his all-day ride to Pitts burg, en route to Oyster Bay. Witnesses told in detail of secret accounts kept by the Structural Iron workers union in the dynamiting cases. The latest developments in the Mex ican situation are commanding the earnest attention of the War depart ment. A large force of Bulgarians is with in twelve miles of Adrianople, and the Turkish garrison faces a desperate struggle. Pittsburg friends of Carnegie paid 130,000 duty on gems which they “forgot” to declare when they entered the United States. Clad only in pajamas and armed with a hatpin, a girl student in a Wis consin seminary routed a burglar whom she found in her room. General Porfirio Diax, deposed pres ident of Mexico, will remain in Paris for the present, although much inter ested in the success of his nephew. The transport Parairie, with 750 marines and a United States commis sion on board, has been missing for 20 days and fears are felt for her safety. The astrologer who predicted a vio lent death for President McKinley, now says there will be no choice for president by the people on November 5. The director of the Smith observa tory at Geneva, N. T-, has discovered a comet in tbe eastern sky. This is the 27th comet discovered by the pro fessor. A guard from the Rawlins, Wyo., penitentiary, who was sent to Salem, Or., on business, says he saw more roses there than be had seen in 25 years before. ROOSEVELT IMPROVES. Passas Night Unattended ahd Insist* He I* “All Right.” Oyster Bay, N. Y.—The quiet rou tine of life at Sagamore Hill was re sumed Wednesday by Colonel Roose velt and his family as though it had not been interrupted by the attempt to assassinate the former presidenL For the first time since he was wounded Colonel Roosevelt was unat tended over night by a physician. There was no one in the house except member* of the family and servants and the-Colonel spoke hopefully of be ing able, after a day or two more of rest, to gradually resume his work. Four physicians were with the Colo nel on his arrival and after they had dressed his wound they told him that the one essential thing was complete rest. If their directions are observed, it is believed complete recovery is probable. Dr. Alexander Lambert and Dr. Scurry L. Terrell, who accompanied Colonel Roosevelt from Chicago, were joined in New York by Dr. Joseph A. Blake and Dr. George E. Brewer. After examination they said the wound was still wide open, spoke of the possibility of infection, and added they were unable to say whether it would be possible for him to resume campaign work. Colonel Roosevelt said when his wound had been dressed that there was no longer the need of constant su pervision of physicians, because he was "all right.” Wheat—Track prices: Club, 77<i£ 78c; bluestem^ 80@82c; fortyfold, 78c; red Russian, 76c; valley, 78c.

Immense Incraas* on Farm* Wher* Management of Wallowa County Fair Grateful to 24 Boys. O. A O. Method* War* Used. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis — An average yield of 20 to 30 per cent more in crop* raised on farms of the O. A. C. experiment station than on other farms in the same local ity is reported by Prof. H, D. Scud der, of the agronomy department, who has just returned from an inspection tour of the Sherman, Crook and Har ney county experiment farms. He attributes these results to the scien tific method* in conjunction with un usually favorable weather conditions. Corn, field peas, alfalfa and Turkey Red wheat have succeeded on the land of a number of Eastern Oregon farm ers. indicating a promising future for them in the dry-farming area*. Five years ago it was claimed that these crop* could not grow there with any profit to the farmer, but the college insisted then as now, on their future importance in the development of dry farming. That the farmers, notably in Sherman and Crook counties, have a growing reliance upon the wisdom of the college expert* is shown by the fact that more than half the wheat acreage is now in Turkey Red. On the Moro branch experiment farm this variety has consistently proven its superiority in yield over other varie ties. At Metolius and Redmond, as well as at Moro, the value of corn to the dry farmer has been proven by its suc cess, both as a grain and as forage. MUNICIPAL PHONE SOUGHT.

A variety which he introduced from tbe Dakotas is far superior to all others not only in drought resistance, but in seed pro duction and resistance to frosts. For mer estimates of a possible profit of $20 an acre each year from the seed crop, it is believed, will be exceeded considerably. The seed is of unusual value, both for its hardiness and vigor and because of its environment. It has already proven its superiority to wheat as a money maker, and its val ue as a soil builder is unquestioned. More than a ton of hay to the acre was also obtained this year in the al falfa fields at Moro, and improvement in methods is expected to bring the yield up to a ton and a half. Certain varieties of potatoes intro duced in Sherman and Crook counties by the college have also proven su perior in yield and quality, and as po tatoes are always of unusual quality on the dry-farming land, the varieties now being developed on the experi ment station fields will prove profit bringers. Ample demonstration on the experi ment farm has been made of the greater profits that may be obtained from more intensive methods of farm ing where corn, potatoes, field peas and alfalfa replace wheat, as rotation crops used with it. The improvement of the soil and the maintenance of fer tility, always the ultimate object of the college in its work, is considered the greatest result of such a system. Enterprise — “The County Fair would not be much of a success, so far as the amusement program is con cerned, if it were not for the Tippett, McFetridge and Warnock boys.” Thia remark, made by one of the officer* of the Wallowa County Agri cultural Fair association at the close of the recent exhibition here, has led to an interesting confirmation. In the three families there are 24 boys. They were to the front in nearly every contest put on by the fair. Whenever an added number was desired, all the management had to do was to appeal to these boys, and almost any kind of an exciting contest could be arranged. •S. T. Tippett has nine sons, each of whom is fully able to take care of himself in any event pertaining to horsemanship. The sons are William, T. 8., J. H., G. W.. C. C„ Roy K.. Chris, Teddy and Lawrence, or Buster. John C. McFetridge furnishes seven husky young men— William, Millard, Fred, Alvin. Elmer, John and Cheater. William Warnock’s five sons are Elmer, Perry, Earl, Jesse and Vernon. Daniel W. Warnock has three sons —Charles, William and Daniel. In the first day’s amusement pro- gram, the three groups of boys came to the front in the slow mule race. Elmer Warnock, John McFetridge and Charles Tippett being the contestants, while 8. T. Tippett, the father, could not keep out of the contest himself, but furnished one of the mules. El mer Warnock and J. H. Tippett were on deck for the next event, the three- mile mule relay. Tippett and Warnock furnished one ttring of horse* for tbe great 15-mile relay. lxila Warnock was a contes tant in the girls’ race, showing the boys were not the only members of the family who could ride horses. In the saddle-horse contest, S. T. Tippett and J. H. Tippett provided the win ning horses. Dan Warnock's horke was second in the quarter mile dash. Jack Tippett beat his brother, J. H., in the packing contest. On the third day, Alvin McFetridge appeared in the chariot race. Dan Warnock’s horse was second in a quarter-mile dash, S. T. Tippett fur- nished the horse that came in second in the boys’ race. On Friday, Elmer McFetridge cap tured the cowboy race, defeating Charls, Guy and J. H. Tippett. John McFetridge distinguished himself by riding Hot Foot, the famous Union county outlaw. Saturday brought out J. H. Tippett as winner of the cowboy race, with John McFetridge a contes tant. In addition, the three families were well represented in the exhibits, and won a fine lot of prizes. POMONA RESCINDS ACT. State Printer Flat Salary Measure In- dorsement Taken Back.
