HEPPNER MEN TALK ROADS. Palace Hotel Rendezvous for Backers of Good Highways. ' ' Heppner About fifty of Heppner's business men sat down to a sump tuous dinner at the Palace Hotel re cently. The object of the gathering was to discuss good roads lu general and the Improvement of the road to Spray and the extension of the Willow Creek road to Hitter in particular. The two roads mentioned will bring considerable additional business to Heppner. T. J. Mahoney acted as toastmaster. John Scott Mills, of the publicity de partment of the O.-W. R. ft N. Com pany, and J. R. Stein, of the freight de partment of the same company, were present. Mr. Mills dellevered an Inter esting and instructive address upon the (rood roads question. This was followed by talks by several of the leading business men of the city. Commit tees were appointed to work out def inite plans for the improvement and construction of the roads under con sideration. V. D. Newlon, who has been drilling a number of wells In the light land district in the northern part of the county, made a proposition to drill for artesian water In that part of the county, provided a bonus of $20,000 be raised, the same to be paid in the event he secures a flow of water suf ficient for irrigation purposes. If he fails to secure the flow of water he shall receive nothing. The offer aroused considerable Interest, and a committee was appointed to see what can be done with the proposition.

Hood River. To aid the apple growers of the community In securing cows, the Hood River Commercial Club proposes to form a cow purchas ing association, which will not only select the animals, but will assist the orchardlsts financially In securing them. It Is the hope of a large num ber of people of this city to secure a creamery. However, Professor Kent, of the Oregon Agricultural College, who was recently here conferring with the directors of the club, says that before the creamery can be operated on a profitable basis at least 300 more cows ought to be placed in the com munity. The "alley's population Is made up to a great extent of people who have come from cities and do not under stand how to choose a good milch cow. An expert will make the choice, un der the plans that the club Is pro mulgating. A large number of those ho are desirous ef going Into the dairy business are not able financially to pay cash for cows at the present time. The club will make the pur chase for these, and through the asso ciation that will be formed will await the remittance of the purchasing rancher. ENGINEERING FEAT BIG. SPRAYING IS DISCUSSED.

Question of Getting Foundations for Coos Bay Span Is Problem. North Bend. An engineering prob lem confronts the men in charge of the bridge operations of the Southern Pacific to bridge Coos Bay. The trouble arises over getting foundations, Bedrock seems to be the one thing that is lacking in the geological forma tion of the bay, as drilling has shown that no such substance can be found at least within a reasonable distance from the surface. The tests have gone down to a depth of 100 feet, and all that the drill shows to be there is sand. 'In conversation with one of the en gineers he stated that a plan was be ing worked out to make the founda tions of concrete, Imbedded In the sand, something entirely new In en gineering. Considering the weight of the finished structure a foundation made in this manner seems to be something that is almost impossible, CROP PESTS DISCUSSED. of 300-Page Book Issued by O. A. C, Much Interest to Growers. Corvallls. Results of the laRt two years' work in crop pest investigations and experimental work in horticulture done at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege Experiment Station are being published in bulletin form and the first copies of the 300-page book have been delivered to the college by the State printer. Special features of the work are accounts of investigations made by the college experts to determine the influence of bud 'variations on fruit markings; an exhaustive treatise on the several forms of aphides which cause Oregon agriculturists so much trouble, and a discussion of the work of the San Jose scale on pears. These treatises are illustrated by color plates. Coquille to Have Public Park. Coquille. Coquille will have a pub lic park and playground, negotiations pending for some time having been completed which gives the city pos session of a ten-acre tract within easy reach. The property purchased Is known as Patterson's Grove and was purchased by public-spirited citizens. led by Mayor Morrison, and that syn dicate will hold it until such time as the city is financially able to take it off their hands. The grove will be fitted up this season for use of the children as a playground and a place where meetings and picnics may be held. Marshfleld votes "Yes." Marshfield. The special election here Tuesday resulted in 606 votes being cast. The proposition to sell terminal railway franchise to the Southern Pacific carried 893 to 83.

That Gilliam county Is to have a large grain acreage this year Is snown by a single ranch, which Is rep resentative of the work now being aone on tne numerous big wheat ranches In this section. On the Kll bourne ranch, which comprises 7,000 acres, isw acres are already in Fail wheat and about 1500 acres are now being sown to spring grain, both wheat und barley. Plowing and seeding are now in progress on this ranch, with two caterpillar engines and six mule teams. The caterpillar nulls twelve 14-inch plows and will turn under thirty acres per day. A night crew Is em ployed on the Kllbourne ranch, and altogether there are between eighteen and twenty men at work at this time. Several buildings are now being erect ed on the Kllbourne ranch in the way of machine sheds and a bunkhouse for men. The farmhouse and barns are electric-IiKhted. The county plowing Is under way full blast, a,nd the prospects for a good crop are splendid, as there Is about eighteen Inches of moisture In the ground. PEPPERMINT FARM PLAN. Portland Man and Michigan Brother to Erect Still Near Albany. Albany. A farm to grow peppermint ior the market will be established near here by O. H. Todd, who came to this city recently from Michigan, and his brother, Alfred Todd, of Port land. They have leased a tract of land about six miles east of Albany, near Knox Butte, for the purpose. This is one of the first Industries of the kind on the Pacific Coast. The Todd Brothers will not only grow peppermint in big quantities but will construct a still at their pepper mint farm to prepare the product for the market. This will reduce the pep permint to commercial form. A crew of men Is now at work preparing the ground for the setting of the first plants and work will soon begin on the erection of the still. CURRENCY BILL TO COME UP. President Decides Meaiure Will Have Consideration This Session. WASHINGTON. Encouraged by the rapid progress already made in tho preparation of a tariff revision bill, clone friends of President Wilson pre dict that currency reform moaHurui would be brought before the extra ses sion of congress. The President tulkod Informally with some of his callers about the prospects for currency legislation. They went away convinced that while the president would devote hi in self first aud foremost to tariff revi sion, he how hoped that cat least a start on monetary reform, If not actual legislation, would be posHlblo lu the extra session. From the first, the president has be lieved in the neousslty for Immediate currency reform, and though desltous that 'congress should focus Its atten tion and that of the nation on the tar iff question, ho never has given up the idea of getting a currency measure before the country within a few months. Some of his friends said that they were particularly hopeful for cur rency reform because of the attitude of the Democratic leaders In congress toward expeditious action on the tar Iff. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, is reported to have said that the tariff could be disposed of wltlrin three months. Like the tar iff, the currency bill whon drawn will be presented as a party measure, care fully worked out by congressional com mlttes in co-operation with the presi dent. It will not be made public, it li said, until it has been studied closely by members of the cabinet, recognized authorities on currency questions, and some of the leading business men of the country In whose Judgment the ad ministration has confidence. The president intends to stay In Washington throughout the extra ses sion, giving every attention to legisla tive questions. He has every day de clined invitations to make speeches outside of the city. The cabinet will meet immediately, when the question of recess appoint ments will be discussed. The resigna tion of Huntington Wilson as assist ant secretary of Btnte leaves the state department under charge of Alva Adee, second assistant secretary of state. It Is probablo, however, that there will be a recess appointment of John llnssette Moore as counsellor of the state department, so that he can co-operate with. Mr. Adee In running the department. The president tele graphed Secretary Bryan that he need not cut short his vacation on account of Huntington Wilson's withdrawal. Treasurer Short 5 Cents. Albany. During the four and one- hRlf years he has served as county treasurer, W. W. Francis has handled $1,839,651.22 and is short 5 cents in his accounts. That is the report ef F. M. iieaneid, who has Just completed the work of exporting the treasurer's books and who has filed a report 'with the county court certifying to the ac curacy of Francis' accounts and com plimenting him on the manner In which they, have been kept. Mr. Red- field not only checked the booKS fully to see if Francis had accounted to the county for all moneys received but he also checked over the special accounts. Cement Plant Proposed. jioseDurg.---consideration or a pro posal to erect and operate an immense cement plant near Roseburg was the occasion of a well-attended meeting of citizens at the Roseburg Commer cial Club rooms. D. W. Riedel, of Portland, who owns one of the best cement quarries In the West, and which Is located eight miles south of Roseburg, Is at the head of the movement to erect a modern plant and thereby develop his property. Mr. Riedel offers to erect and maintain a plant costing 65O,O00 in the event the citizens of Roseburg will subscribe $100,000. Railroad Subsidy O. K. Prlnevllle. At a well attended meet ing held here today for the purpose of having the subscribers to the subsidy to be given the promoters who will build a railroad, a full Indorsement was given the committee who will meet with H. P. Scheel, of Tacoma, at Portland In a few days and a final con tract is expected to be signed. This is good news for all Central Oregon at this time. ASSISTANT SECRETARY RESIGNS. Huntington Wilton Cannot Counte nance Chinese Loan Policy. WASHINGTON. Huntington Wll- son, assistant and acting secretary of state, a Taft appointee who retained office at the request of President Wil son, until the president could give fur ther time to the selection of a suc cessor, and also to oblige Secretary Bryan, who deslrod to attend the cele bration of his birthday at Lincoln, Neb., resigned suddenly when con fronted with the duty of promulgating the administration's policy with refer ence to the Chinese loan, as announced by the president. The acting secre tary was a firm believer in the Taft policy and he explained in his letter of resignation that he could not conscl entlously act as spokesman for a pol icy with which ho was wsolly out of harmony. The resignation was accepted in a letter from President Wilson, to take effect Immediately. The president im mediately designated Second Assist ant Secretary Adee to act as secretary of state during Secretary Bryan's absence. A probable result of the resignation will be the Immediate appointment un der a recess commission of John Has sett Moore, as counsellor of the de partment of state, with authority to act as secretary. DR. ELIOT FOR GREAT BRITAIN. President of Harvard Chosen to Repre- sent United States. WASHINGTON. Dr. Charles Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard Uni versity, has been decided upon by President Wilson for ambassador to Great Britain. Close friends of the president telegraphed Dr. Eliot, con gratulatlng him and urging him to accept. George W. Guthrie, Democratic state chairman of Pennsylvania and ex- mayor of Pittsburg, has been selected to be ambassador to Mexico. This In formation came from intimate friends of President Wilson. From the same sources it was learned that Justice James W. Gerard, of New York, was a likely choice for ambassador to Italy and that William Church Osborn, of New York, Augustus Thomas, the play wright, and possibly Thomas Nelson Page, of Virginia, would be ambassa dors to European courts. No one has been decided upon for ambassador to Japan. STORM'S TOLL IS 152 IN OMAHA Fiercest Cyclone In History Sweeps Corn Kelt. Suburb of Nebraska Metropolis . Wiped Out; Funning Area. Stricken.

With the death list probably aggregating 162 and tho llsti of injured all of 400, Opwiha and tho, surroundinK territory In Nebraska and Iowa fiuuid tho problem of Imuslng ' the thousands rendered homoless by Sunday night's tornado. Tho number of buildings destroyed was placed in the neighborhood of 1200 and tho property damago at sevoral million dollars. Belated reports com tiiK to Omaha tended to Increase the enormity of the havoc wrought and In dicated that a much wider territory had been in the path of the storm than whs at first shown. The hospitals In Omaha are full of Injured, many of whom have not been Identified, apparently because their friends are either dead or among the Injured, Uncoln, Neb. One hundred are dead, twice as many more were in jured, some fatally, by doath-doallng tornado which devastated Omaha and Its environs early Sunday last. It de-' moralized telegraph and telephone ser vice and cut Omaha oft from commun ication with the outside world. Thirty to forty blocks in the resi dence section are suld to have been swept by the storm, killing scores of persons, Injuring several hundred and leaving hundreds of wrecked resi dences In the pnth of tho storm. Trains which pulled Into tho city shortly before fl o'clock were stopped at the edge of the city to take on dead bodies mid the many Injured. The vil lages of Benson, Dundee and Florence, suburbs of Omnha. virtually are wiped out. Only tho fact that a heavy ruin fell for a half hour after tho tornado saved the mass of wreckage and many of the bodies of the dead from being burned. The Webster street telephone sta tion, containing a score or more of girls, whs one of the buildings hit by the storm und In a moment was twist ed and torn. Soveral of the girls were killed outright, and many others were Injured. A moving-picture show which was just putting on Its final film waif Btruck. Thn roof of the building foil in and in the mad rush which was made through the only exits open, many of those who were Injured were trampled and crushed. The rush continued, however, over the. bodies of the dead and a few of the attendants escaped. Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, tole- graphed Governor Morchoad shortly after midnight for several militia com panies to prevent the residences and the dead bodies from being looted. The Omaha companies were only pnrtlally available, according to the reports, and the Governor and Adjutant-General Hall Immediately ordered out two Lin coln companies and others from near by towns. Chinese Silks Seized. San Francisco. Collector of Cus toms Stratton will endeavor to learn whether Mrs. W. T. McGregor, Mrs. A. Hammar, Mrs. P. D. Norton, Mrs. H. L. Troop and Miss F. M. Brown, members of families of officers at Mare Island, are officers of the United States Navy medical department at Mare Island and whether a box weighing 400 pounds, containing more than $1000 worth of Chinese silks, notions and embroidered goods, which arrived here on the army transport Logan last Sat urday, and not on the ship's manifest, are not smuggled goods and subject to seizure. Spirit Is Said to Beckon. Denver. Alonzo Thompson, multi millionaire spiritualist of this city, lies on his deathbed here, declaring that he Is In hourly communication with the spirit of his dead father. Mr. Thompson insists that his dead father is constantly beckoning to him and telling him to Join him in the spirit world. At the bedside of the dying spiritualist are Mr. Thompson's two wealthy brothers, one being Charles Thompson, of Portland, Ore. NINETEEN KILLED IN TERRE HAUTE, IND., CYCLONE Terre Haute, lnd. Nineteen persons are known to have been killed, 2.j0 are seriously injured, 275 homes are de stroyed and other property damage, estimated at nearly $1,000,000, was the toll of the tornado that devastated Terre Haute and vicinity Sunday night. The officials In charge of the rescue work say tho list of dead will be in creased as the searchers clear away the debris of wrecked buildings. Hundreds of homeless are being cared for by charitable institutions and citizens, while the wrecked dis trict is being patrolled by Company B, First Regiment, Indiana National Guard, and the local police force. The militia was ordered out early In the day by Governor Ralston, who di rected the relief measures from Indi anapolis. Poor Suitors Unwelcome. Wellesley, Mass. Forty Wollosloy College girls have said good-bye to matrimony until at least three years after graduation and until men come alonf? who have an income of at least $5000. They are members of the new organization, the Wellesley Marriage Club, and of the 60 who have been In vited to Join only 10 refused. Member ship is limited to 800 and a meeting will be held at which 20 more girls will take the pledge. Whon 100 have become members, officers will be elected. The objoct of the club, so it is said, Is to decrease business in the divorce courts. Woman Makes Air Voyage. San Diego. W. Leonard Bonnev. a Los Angeles aviator, with Miss Mar garet Stahl aa a passenger, flew in a monoplane from Los Angeles to this city, a feat heretofore attempted, but not successfully. The distance Is about 100 miles. Bonney and Miss Stahl left Los Angeles at 1:30 P. M Sunday. The day was windy and chilly, but the aviators met with no mishap, except the breaking of a skid when landing. The flight was the first leg of a 500 mlle tour of Southern California. Bachelors Beg for Wives. Klamath Falls, Or. Having become wealthy growing alfalfa and grain on their homesteads, a large number of bachelors of Langell Valley, near here, have appealed to Hev. George H. FeeBe, of Klamath Falls, begging him to secure for them "carload lots" of marriageable women. Mr. Freese is making an effort to comply with their request and has addressed letters to Eastern cities, with the view of secur ing 200 women, as a starter, for the lonely bachelors.
