By making a clean sweep with their Yallow Newtowns and Spitxenbergs, the Hood Kiver growers became high ly elated While they grow many other kinds of apples in the Hood Kiver district, the orchardists there pride themselves particularly over their "Spits” and Newtown varieties. Competition was close in the Hpitx- enberg class. There were eight en tries. five of them bring from Hood Kiver. While each individual Hood Kiver exhibitor was eager for a prise, those who failed to win were satisfied when they learned that the honors went to their neighbors. While the Oregon entries took many prises in the four-box competition, Idaho, Washington and British Co lumbia shared in the honors. Boise took three first prises, one each for Arkansas Blacks, Ganos nnd Jona thans in four box lots.

RUSSIA AM) SEKVIA AKE PREPARING FOR TROUBLE Vienna—Humors of a Russian mo bilisation have led to a strong anti Russian outburst by the Austrian press, which accuses Russia of being behind Servia. * The Bourse was greatly weakened on rumors of war like preparations by Austria and Rus sia. Ixindon—According to the Chroni cle's Vienna correspondent, three classes of the Austrian reserves have been called out. About 300,000 men. he says, have massed around the Ser vian frontier and equally steady prep arations are going forward in Galicia. "Five large bridges spanning the Danube here have been closely watch ed for several days. The sentinels have been doubled in order to prevent any tampering with the bridges. "During the last fortnight all the troops that conveniently could be spared have been drafted toward the Bosnian and Russian frontier and the possibility of the Southern Slavs prov ing unreliable in a war against Russia by a careful redistribution of the troops. ” Coal Miners Win Strike. Charleston. W. Va. — What is be lieved to forecast the end of the great coal strike in JWest’Virginia was an- nouced in a signed wage agreement between the union miners and the offi cials of the National Bituminous Coal A Coke company.“ The agreement practically recognises the union, pro vides for an increase of about 21 per cent in wages, reduces tonnage, per mits the miners to organize, provides for a nine-hour day and gives the 600 men now on strike preference if they should desire to return to work. Grey Will Not Aid Jews. Ixtndon—Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister, declined to approach Russia with a view to secur ing the withdrawal of the restrictions placed on British Jews in that coun try, on the ground that such action on the part of Great Britain would lead to the termination of the Russo-Brit ish treaty of commerce. Such a re sult, he adds, would not advance the interests of the Jews and would be dis advantageous to British interests. Federal Pension Advised. Washington, D.’C.—As a result of the announcement by the Carnegie corporation that a pension of 125,000 would be offered each ex-president of the United States, a strong movement is expected in the coming session to induce congress to provide a pension. MISSIONARY IS HEROINE. WOMEN TO JOIN PARADE. Thousands of Suffragists to March at Wilson’s Inaugursl. BROCADED EVENING GOWN Constantinople — Because the Red Crescent volunteers have failed to take up the work of relief, Kight Rev. Robert Frew, a Scotch pastor in Con stantinople, and Miss Alt, 60 years old, who for many years has been con nected with English and American mission work in Turkey, have taken quarters in the cholera camp and will devote themselves to the care of vic tims. Many of the doctors hsve refused to treat cholera patients, asserting that they are surgeons, not physicians. At present there is only one volunteer doctor working at the camp—Major Clyde 8. Ford, Medical Corps, U. 8. A., who with the secretary of the American embassy, Hoffman Phillip, and Maurice Barling, an Englishman, goes to San Stefano every day for re lief work. Thia is simply cleaning up the camp, yet Major Ford baa giv en up his surgical work in an effort to save many who would otherwise die. Secretary Phillip is coming In for much credit among foreign residents, because on finding that no member of the Red Crescent was willing to take charge, he himself has assumed con trol of the work. Mrs. Rockbill, wife of the Ameri can ambassador, is gathering and pur chasing supplies for the camp, in cluding blankets and drinking cups. Every one who has visited San Stefano says that Miss AIL who came origin ally from Switzerland, is deserving of the highest form of recognition as she works from 6 o’clock in the morning until 5 at nighL aiding the patients and administering to'their wants, heed less of contamination.

C.—-For the first time in the history of the United Slates marching women will form a arge section of the Inaugural parade next March. Woodrow Wilson, on his way to take oath of office, will be ac companied by a guard of suffragista. The State Huffrage association of the District of Columbia has voted to re quest the inaugural committee to give the suffragettes a place in the parade, and the women have received private assurances from several sources that their request will be granted. Ten thousand women, they esti mate, will answer the appeal, and the capital city will be the objective point of a veritable army of suffragists. Many of them will be women who act ually cast a vote for Woodrow Wilson for president in the states which have granted suffrage. A general call for volunteer marchers will be put before the national convention of suffragista, which will begin in Philadelphia Thursday. Responses from women who have been broached on the sub ject indicate that the project is being received with much enthusiasm. Women have not yet voted to adopt a distinctive costume for the occasion, but many of them are advocating spe cial headgear at least. MUCH ENERGY BEING WASTED Railroad President Says Cities Hold Mon Needed on Farms. Minneapolis — The needs of the Northwest with regard to proper agri cultural development, and the financial problems of the United Htates as they relate to agriculture of the Northwest, were the principal themes of discus sion at the opening of the second an nual Minnesota Conservation and Ag ricultural Development congress, held in connection with the Northwestern Products exposition here. James J. Hill was the principal speaker, delivering an address on ag ricultural development in Minnesota. Intelligent agriculture alone will in crease yields, keep the soil unim paired, reduce loan rates and keep men on the farms, in the opinion of Mr. Hill. "Seasons like the present are only breathing spaces for rectifying the er rors of the past,” he said. "The lean years will come again. They will be leaner than ever, unless the lessons of experience are accepted. Men are be ing wasted in the city who are needed in the country. We must recognize the farm ss the cornerstone of nation al prosperity and national character." WILSON FORGETS POLITICS. President-Elect Will Walk. Cycle and Contemplate Legillation, Hamilton, Bermuda — President- Elect Wilson declared that he was be ginning to forget politics. Mrs. Wil son and the other members of the family have been busily engaged in unpacking. The injury received by Mr. Wilson in an automobile accident before the election does not trouble him any more. The plaster covering the wound on his head came off, showing that the abrasion had healed. President-Elect Wilson paid an offi cial visit to the governor general. General Hir George M. Bullock. La ter he had tea with the army officers. Mr. Wilson contemplates occupying much of his time in walking and bicy cling and preparing for future legisla tion. _______________ BO8TON MAN WEDS TITLE.

DAIRY SHOW ATTRACTS MANY Business Men Show Deep Inter est in Exhibits. Wisconsin Men Take First Honors in Butter and Cheese— Oregon Scores High Portland—Attendance boomed at the Dairy Show. Every streetcar to the stockyards was crowded, and hundreds came in automobiles. Members of the Ad club, wearing badges telling their names and lines of business, put in much time admiring the aristocratic milk-producers, and with a large dele gation of the Progressive Business Men's club, and representatives of the Commerical club and Chamber of com merce, learned a few of the fine points of the game of breeding superlatives in dairy stock. Fully 5000 in all saw the show, in cluding the milk, butter and cheese displays. Hundreds were given an in sight into the business of preparing meat for market by a tour of the Union Meat company’s mammoth plant, conducted by uniformed guides, who explained each step in the ani mal’s progress from the hoof to cold storage. Many "made a day of it" by visiting the Land Show in the morn ing and the Dairy Show in the after noon. Interest centered in the judging of the Jerseys and the agricultural col lege students’ general stock judging contest. Competition was keen in the Jersey class, but in the Guernsey class the splendid herd of D. H. Loon ey, of Independence, Or., was opposed by no other entries. Washington Agricultural college took first in the students’ judging contesL with 1750 out of a possible 2500 points. The first team of the Oregon Agricultural college was second, with 1714, and the second team of the same school third, with 1600. Utah was fourth with 1530. For a time it was thought that Oregon had won, but final averages gave first place to Washington by 36 points. Many of the blue and red ribbons for Jerseys were hung on the stalls of the Utah cattle, herds entered under such well-known names as SmooL Smith and Cannon furnished prize winners. However, John B. Stump & Son’s Deercombe herd, of Monmouth, Or., were the leaders, taking seven firsts and four seconds. W. O. Mor row, of Independence, Or., was a strong contender in this class, his fine herd taking several firsts and seconds. In the butter and cheese competi tions Wisconsin appears to have car ried off first honors, with Oregon a close second in both cases. L. W. Turner, of Montfort, Wis., took first for butter, with A. A. Oswald and Peter Beier, both of Portland, second and third, the scores being 97, 96f and 96J. It is possible that when the judges complete their grand averages Oregon will be found leading although the highest single score goes to the Badger state. F. A. Geirguts, of Appleton, Wis., led the cheesemakers, with a score of 97. Hugh Barber, of Mohler, Or., was second, with 96, and A. A. Kirby, of Tillamook, third, with 95}. Again the general average may result in an Oregon victory, although Wisconsin has the highest individual score. LAND SHOW BIG SUCCESS. Exbibit of Products at Portland In teresting and Instructive. Portland—Diversified fanning is re ceiving a whole lot of substantial encouragement at the land show. Many Portland people, who hereto fore thought the Northwest could not produce much other than wheat and fruiL have acquired some beneficial education in the last few days. They have learned particularly that Orgeon is a corn state and that all varieties of vegetables can be grown here with almost unvarying success. Thus the land show is fulfilling its mission—bringing the people of the city into contact with the land, show ing them what the land is capable of producing. The exhibit of the Oregon Agricul tural college was one of the most in teresting of the wholg show. It con sists entirely of a demonstration of the various experimental methods practiced at the big school in Corvallis. "Idle Women” Are Blamed. St Louie—Delegates to the first an nual convention of the National Fed eration of Retail Merchants were warned against making false state ments in advertisements and against cutting retail prices until profits were absorbed, by H. D. Robbins, of New York, chairman of the vigilance com mittee of National Ad clubs. "Too many idle women in the world" was the cause assigned for the high cost of living by Mrs. Nellie Hencke, proprietor of a dry goods store in St. Louis. Carnegie Gives *2,000,000. New York—An addition of 82,000,- 000 to the endowment fund of the Carnegie foundation for the advance ment of teaching was announced by Andrew Carnegie at a meeting of the -trustees of his foundation. The en dowment now stands at 814,000,000 with a million dollar surplus. The gift was part of a grant of 85,000,000 made in 1908 on which another 82,- 000,000 is yet to come. The money was in Steel corporation bonds.
