To get an idea of crop conditions in Polk county and to compare the wheat grower's income this year with that of last year, a visit at the Sweeney brothers' flour mill is valuable. Ac cording to the millers they have re ceived at least four times as much grain this season as they had at a corresponding date last year, although practically the entire crop of this dis trict was handled through the local mill last season. To date, the man agers estimate, they have taken in 7000 bushels of wheat and have been so rushed in handling it that they have had no time even to think of oats, of which there is an unusually large crop. Wagons are discharging their loads ot wlieat m rapid succession throughout the day, while all hands at the mill are busy storing it away until winter, when the machines will have a season's work, running at full capacity, to grind the grain into flour. In September last year the price of wheat had reached about its limit in 75 cents at the mill. In contrast, the price this week is close to 90 cents, and, if predictions hold good, will ad vance to $1 before long. Flour, the final product, has also brought joy to the millers. A year ago at this time flour was selling for about $4, while this year, with a brisk demand to keep it moving, the price ranges 'round $5.25. Sweeney brothers have just cause for rejoicing. ARMED MOBS TERRORIZE. Texas Fears Wholesale Slaughter by "Army" of Liberation. Dispatches from the Mexican bor der tell of a running fight between Mexican bandits and a group of sold iers and Texas citizens, near Browns ville yesterday. Three bandits trom a band of 35 were killed and the band retreated across the river where at least 100 were added to their strength, which has put American forces on their guard to anticipate further trou ble. A reign of terror prevails along the border and practically every able bod ied man in three counties is armed, and fearful of a wholesale massacre by the Mexicans should the United States attempt to intervene in the southern country. The Mexicans will at least try to seize a part of the state of Texas, is the opinion of many along the border. The Mexicans call ing themselves the "army of libera tion for Mexico," are rapidly gaining reenforcements, and are pledged to kill every American of 16 years of age, according to reports that have reached Brownsville. Governor Fer guson, giving ear to these statements, has asked the United States to rush additional troops to the border and is encouraging the formation of armed bands for the protection of homes and families in case of attack.

The showers of meteors predicted for Monday night failed to material ize, but Father Martin S. Brennan, professor of astronomy at Kenrick university, Missouri, did not miss his date only two days, for on Wednesday night there was quite a display vis ible in this section. The display is known as the Perseids and will last throughout the nights in the vicinity of Polar star. The meteors are the remnants of a comet known as Cymet 3, 18(52, which is thought by scientists to be the oldest comet m the solar system. This comet "died of old age," according to astronomers and lost its compact neuclus, and finally became attenuated through the length of its orbit. Each year this planet passes through its orbit. CoL Jackson Is Injured. Colonel James Jackson, United States army, retired, and inspector- general of the Oregon National liuard and who is well known to many in Dallas, refused to prosecute Harry Hanson, driver of the automobile that ran into and injured him at Portland Tuesday afternoon. Colonel Jackson is thought to be out of danger of ser ious hurts from the accident. "He was driving careful.lv, but lost his head a little when I grasped the fen der, and did not put on the brakes in time, said Colonel Jackson. ' Sunday Funerals No More. There will be no more Sunday fu nerals in Salem, on or after August 15, according to an agreement among undertakers, sextons, ministers and liverymen of the city, which has just been completed, and will apply to all except contagious cases, says the Statesman. The vogue for a cessation of Sunday funerals has been adopted in Portland. San rrancisco and Uak land during the last few years and has been longer in effect in eastern cities. It was started in Salem by C. B. Webb. MOTOR GARS CHANGED A. S. GREEN COMES FROM PORT LAND TO DIRECT WORK. Southern Pacific Company Orders Use of Distillate in Dallas-Salem Motor Cars, "Cup of Life" Tonight If von want to aee two of the finest productions in motion pictures don't fail to see the "Cup of Life" tonight and "The Man of the Hoar" tomor row night at the Orphenm and at the low price of 5& and 10c. Extensive changes are being made in the mechanism of the McKeen mo tor cars, in use on the Southern Pa cific branch line between Dallas and Salem, to equip them for the use of distillate in place of gasoline. As a result or tests made by the company it has been found that distillate is very economical as a fuel, and just as satisfactory as gasoline, and this change has been ordered on all cars of the type in use here. The expense is great, but the advantage gained and the economy effected by the rebuilding more than offsets this feature. The change means the replacing of the carburetors in use on the cars with one of different design, one which will feed the distillate into the engine. A different throttle must be used, in fact the entire mechanical arrange ment will be changed. In addition to the changes made a number of safe ty appliances will be added to the equipment of the cars and will include a hand-operated brake in the rear ot the passenger compartment. A. S. Green, an expert at such work as is being done here, came to Dallas from the Brooklyn shops in Portland to di rect the work of alteration and, with a capable force of assistants, com pleted the first car yesterday. The motor car equipment in ,use on the line between Dallas and Salem in cludes three 70-foot cars of a modern type, and the rebuilding of their en gines will cost the Southern Pacific company several thousand dollars be fore the work is completed. One car at a time is rebuilt so that there will be no interruption to the sen-ice. Insane Woman Taken to Salem. Mrs. Hattie Holland, laboring under many delusions, was brought to- Dal las yesterday from Spring Valley by members of her family. Sheriff Orr took charge of the woman and notified the authorities at Salem to send at tendants for her. In the meantime the sheriff and others stood close guard over the patient, since the coun ty has no woman's ward or padded cell in its jail. At the appointed time the attendant hadn't appeared, and the guards continued to wait. The last train of the evening brought no one to accompany the woman, Sheriff , Orr bundled her into his ma chine and took her to Salem himself. Mrs. Holland is not violent, but just mildly deluded on a number of things. She leaves a husband at Spring Val ley and is the mother of two children. Miss Jackson Goes to Idaho. Miss KutlJackson, a graduate stu dent of O. A. C, receiving a master's degree in agriculture, has been elected to head that department in the Idaho Stale Normal at Albion, at a very at tractive salary. Miss 'Jackson has been associated with some or the leading specialists of the United States department of agriculture in various phases of agriculture, and has done much practical work here as the basis for her degree. Times Gazette. Quail Are Numerous, That Bob White quail are becoming plentiful in this county is the state ment of sportsmen. According to a prominent sportsman of Dallas the birds may be seen in large numbers in the fields and people driving along country roads can hear their whistle frequently. A few years ago these birds were scarce in this section of the state, but in the past five years they have inci eased in number rapid- Semi-Weekly Lectures. Last Monday the Adventist tent at the corner of Mill and Shelton streets was taken down and shipped to Port land. At the closing meeting it was announced that Friday and Sunday nights of each week there would be a lecture in the Adventist church. The subject announced for tonight is "Ap proaching Armageddon." A song ser vice will precede the lecture. West's Picture on Capitol Walls. A fine oil painting of former Gov ernor West has been hung in the house of representatives at Salem. The work is different trom the many pictures that are hung on the same walls, and in the background shows the granting of woman suffrage in the state. Ihe painting is by John Trullinger of As toria. THE BIS KMC HUNTER PROVES THAT HE KNOWS THE REAL ,' J , gTOBACCO CHEW. No Loss of Timber This Tear. Favorable weather conditions and careful preparations for the season are the chief factors which have so far made for a clean record on the part of patrol organizations in the forests of this state during the pres ent season. Reports recently received by the Western forestry and lonser vation association, from all protec tive agencies in the state, show prac tically no loss of timber through fires iin to the present time. In spite of the prevailing favorable conditions the almost care is exercised and urged by all agencies to prevent damage during the next month. Worrr knocks more men oat than overwork.

I YDU , HAVE IT I ITS THI ONLY I AMMUNITION I EvOtl ALL, around you, men are talking about it. You, your self, are probably telling your friends about the Real Tobacco Chew. No user wants to see his friends go without it because it gives a man real tobacco satisfaction and comfort. A little chew of pure, rich, mellow tobacco seasoned and sweetened just enough cuts out so much of the grinding and spitting. THE REAL TOBACCO CHEW IS NOW CUT TWO WAYSII W-B CUT IS LONG SHRED. RIGHT-CUT IS SHORT SHRID. Take leas thin one-quarter the old size ehew. It will be more satisfying than a mouthful of ordinary tobacco. Juat take a nibble of it until you find the strength chew that suits you, then see how easily and evenly the real tobacco taste cornea, how it aatisfies, how much le3a you have to spit, how few chews you take to be tobacco satisfied. That's why it is Tht Real Tobacco Chew. That's whv It ousts leu in tha and. The taste of pure, rich tobacco does not need to be covered up. An excess of licorice and aweetcaing makee you apit too much. One small chew takes the place of two big chews of the old kind.
