APPLES HURT BY FROST. Wenatchee Growers Will JSuffer Loss This Season, Wenatchee. Wash. For the first time since apple growing assumed commercial proportions in the Wen atchee valley, growers will lose from frost this season. For five nights the mercury steadily descended, reaching a maximum of 25 degrees. It is es timated that 1,500,000 boxes of late apples are still on the trees, ana many will he hurt for shipment. It is impossible to form an estimate of the approximate loss, out experts on fruit growing say it will be heavy. Two unusual conditions have com bined to cause the loss. This year's crop matured slowly and harvest is two weeks later than usual. Further more, the cold weather came earlier than usual and was preceded by rains, which increased the humidity. Apple shipments continue Irom tnis poini ai the rate of 50.000 boxes daily. Two thousand carloads remain to be shipped. EXACT TIME BY WIRELESS. Establishment of Precise Longitude of Two Hemispheres Possible. Paris The exact time at a given moment in America and Europe will be established shortly by wireless tel egraphy. About the middle of No vember it will be possible for the first time to establish with precision the longitudes of America and Europe in thoir rplntinn tn each other bv the ex change of wireless Bignals between the great station at Arlington, Va., and the Eiffel tower in Paris and nttiffr Euronean stations. Commissioner H. H. Hough at the International Time conference nere, declared that the observatory in Washington was now distributing time with errors of only one-tnous andth of a second. Hitherto Euro noon anH American time has been es- tablished by cable, allowance being made for loss of time in transmission, and it has been fixed only three times in 1866, 1870 and 1872. Weight of Carat Reduced. New York Fifty leading jewelers of the United States voted to adopt the metric carat as the standard of weight for diamonds. Under the new standard a carat will weigh 2UU mull grammes; under the old its weight is 205.3 milligrammes. The reduction is 2J per cent. The change will become effective July 1, 1913. The new stand ard weight is known as the interna tional carat and is in use all over the world except in England, Holland, Bel gium and the United States. Congress will be asked to make it the legal carat. Mrs. ClevelandZWill Marry. Princeton. N. J. Mrs. Grover Cleveland authorizes the announce ment of her engagement to Thomas .Tnsenh Preston, nrofessor of archaeol ogy and history of arts at Wells col lege. Mrs. Cleveland is a graduate of Wells college and has been a trustee of that institution since 1887. Her wedding to President Grover Cleve land during his first administration, was one of the noteworthy events in the history of the White House. Great Battle is Brewing. Chicago Cable dispatches to the Chicago Daily News from Constanti nople on the one hand and from Sofia on the other, agree that the success of the allies against Turkey thus far have been only steps leading up to what is expected to be a terrific battle between Adrianople and Constanti nople, in which the Turks will make their master effort to save their cap ital and the ultimate victory. Man Insures His Funeral. Seattle Charles Brandt, 40 years old, of Everett, took out a policy a month ago insuring his funeral, and Wednesday his body was found float ing in Elliott bay, near the Colman dock. The body had been in the wa ter several weeks. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF AUTO ROAD NEARLY READY. Cost of Portland-Hood River Boule vard Last Than Estimates. TWrt Rivr With the exception of work to be done at points where the roadway will run short distances over the right of way of the u.-w. rc. t iN. th Portland-Hood River , automobile boulevard has been con structed and the convicts, under the supervision of Adam Shorgen, are at work east of Shell Rock extending the road toward Viento. .The construc tion of the road around the mountain of loose stone was cheaper than had been anticipated. Murray Kay, who conducted the worn, declares wai u mill nut rnnmima the whole Of the $10,000 fund donated for the purpose by S. Benson, the weaitny roruana lumberman. The road district, in which are lo tnA tha ofaHnnn nf Wveth and Cas cade Locks, has completed ana graaea and surfaced the highway between the two points. The stretch of road, more than six miles in length, forms a maiixsav now readv for use. Within a short time travel from this city will be able to reach Cascade Locks. At nraaant nhnrt stretches between here and Shell Rock are impassable. The county will extend the road from Cas cade Locks to the Multnomah county line next year. NEW MILL AT OTTER ROCKS. Large Plant Indicates Some Future Railroad Building. Newport A new Bawmill plant is tn h located at Otter Rocks. The promoters of it are Messrs. Crane, Case and Marsters, or xnoseourg, al though, it is reported other interests are financing the plant The boilers, two 80-horsepower each, a trimmer ana odoer and other eauioment are now en route to Otter Rocks, about 12 miles up the coast from Newport, ine ca pacity of the mill will be from 25,000 to 30,000 per day. There is much speculation going around as to the object of putting in such a plant at thiB particular point While Otter Rocks is certainly a charming place for a summer retreat, and there is a demand for lumber for building cottages, yet this demand is limited, and a mill of this class would cut more lumber within a few days than would supply the needs for a year to come. It is also too far from any shipping point to make shipping the output a possibility. The only feasible solution of the problem seems to be that it is being located there with a view to railroad building in the near future, when it would be conveniently available for cutting railroad material. CREAMERY FIELD IS OPEN. John Day Valley Residents Offer Bus- iness for Big Plant. Prairie City The people of the John Day valley have long been ship ping out to a distance of more than 125 miles the cream product of its hundreds of blooded dairy cows and shipping back from a like distance practically all the butter for its own consumption, thus paying two freights on this prime table necessity. Such a business anomaly cannot ex ist when the facts become known to those who are seeking locations for creameries, and a movement is on foot looking to the establishment of a fac tory. There are already more than son Hairv cows in the vallev and the herds are increasing from year to year. With the finest water power imaginable, an abundance of the best pasturage for dairy cows and a home market for butter at good prices, there is no doubt that those interested will meet with success in the quest for a practical creamery enterprise. New Cannery Projected. Florence Steps are being taken to ward the formation of a stock com pany to operate a fruit and vegetable cannery here, lieorge Meivin Miner, of Eugene, who owns intereste here, has offered to put up a water-front building and give a hve-year lease, rent free, if the company will put in the necessary machinery and operate the cannery for this length of time. The soil and climate1 here are well suited to growing of berries and small fruits, as well as apples, prunes, etc. Huckleberries and evergreen black berries abound here in a wild state, and, with the large amount of vegeta bles which can be easily grown here, this bids fair to be a very profitable enterprise. Rye Averages 40 Bushels. Klamathl Falls Forty bushels of rye an acre from 20 acres and 871 bushels an acre from 40 acres are re ported by farmers near Malin in this county. The usual yield is about 20 bushels. Reports continue to come in of phenomenal yields of wheat, many fields being reported as yielding 25 to 40 bushels to the acre. Joseph Vic torin, of Malin, has the record for in crease. He imported a peck of im proved variety of barley, sowed it for seed, sowed that seed again this yfcar and the yield is about 600 bushels. Alfalfa Seed Ready for Market. Vale The alfalfa seed in the Mal heur valley is nearly all threshed ' and ready for the market. Although there has been little demand for seed as yet it is expected that the farmers will have no trouble in disposing of it a little later on. The seed is better than was expected owing to the light frost that occurred last month. OUR HOME STATE WILL FOUND IDEAL FARM. Wealthy Portlandar to Demonstrate Burbank Products Free. Portland A plan for the most Im portant lift ever givan the Oregon movement for better farming la an nounced by Martin Winch, well known Portland capitalist N That to serve his purpose, Mr. Winch has bought one of the most at tractive and valuable tracts in the district immediately east of Mount Tabor became known this week.

Luther Burbank, famous plant wizard, will co-operate directly with Mr. Winch in making the plan a suc cess. Services of experts from the department at Washington are to be secured. With Mr. Winch will be associated the state's leaders in the encouragement of "demonstration ed ucation" as a means of co-operating with the Agricultural college and to M in nwmlinff and developing Oregon. Before allowing any part oi ine nlan tn become nuDllc. Mr. w men naa definitely arranged all its details.

"W nmmae to Drove that A.-l method farming will pay. . We are not otherwise interested in commercians inir the nlan." explained Mr. Winch, who for many yeara ran the famous Ladd and Reed farms. "We will establish a dairy of 60 nra nnnn a arnlfl that will Drove that certified, absolutely pure milk can be produced, delivered and sola at a profit While in the East I will visit the world's dairy show at Chicago, nronnrcd to buv. "I will go into the poultry business fnr all it la worth. We will secure between 3000 and 4000 of the best bred hens and will aell stamped eggs. "I have nearlv closed a deal for the best Clydesdale sire and two mares in America. They will be piacea on ine object lesson farm. Sheep ana' hogs nf the hpst breeding will be purchased and put on the t farm. The object lesson farm will represent the best stock, the best plants, the bestequip ment the best buildings, not only of Oregon, but of the nation. "We are now getting into touch with the best known breeders of horses, cattle, pigs, sheep and chick pna in Oresron. We are inviting them tr, have this part in the farm : That they send to us specimens of their am, 1 1 tlf best animals or wnatever Kina. we will represent them. The newcomer to Orocrnn. th nrnanective investor, the - - n i i - settler, can then come to the farm and in panorama see what Oregon has for him. It will all be aBBemDiea mere. "I will have made a profile map. On it will be shown iust where every thing on the farm is. The model of the Hairv rmilrlinfffl. for instance, will have glass roofs bo that the viewer can look within and see just now every operation ia performed. The same means of learning our plan for loganberries, and all other small fruits, the grains and grasses, the livestock, will be attorded. Tho work nf the obiect lesson farm. Mr Wineh. will not be restricted BJ f - to food crops. An entire department will be given over to noricuiture Rrwimena of all native Oresron flow ers will be grown. Roses will be (riven Annpcial attention, and. by mak ing it a supply station for the entire United States, the farm win give Portland better than ever tne name, "RoH CAtv " In the same wpy horticulture will h parried on. Exnerts will be placed in charge of the orchards, in the same way that proficient men will be given charge of other departments. "This will not be for selfish bene fit," said Mr. Winch. "We will go from farm to farm, learning condi tions! there. If we find a man with an old nrrhnrd we will offer to too his trees and graft thereon as many cut tings as are necessary to renew mat orchard, hia part of the compact being an agreement to scientifically tena tne trees thereafter.

The tug L. Roscoe, owned by Porter Brothers, arrived in the Umpqua river a few days ago towing a large barge loaded with supplies. Snow on Hills of Hood River, Hood River A cold wave swept over the Hood River valley and the heavy rain was turned into snow in the foothills surrounding the valley. It ia reported that snow fell in some of the orchards of higher altitude. It is a rare occasion to have snow fall here during October. The Indians' prophecy that there will be a hard winter this year is beginning to be realized.
