The Amelie sailed for E riceira, where it arrived a few days later. P resently autom obiles occupied by King Manuel and the Queen m other dashed up to the beach and were es corted by a squadron of cavalry and accompanied by the Queen’s ladies of honor, who were dressed in deep black. The Queen and her ladies entered one rowboat, into which fishermen also placed two small trunks. K ing Man uel, who was w earing a su it of cheviot and green hat, took his place in the second boat.

T h ey a re.w e ll supplied on the U m atilla governm ent irrigation project, by the many acres of alfalfa. The bloom of this plant is pronounced by experts to be one of the best known. Sagebrush bloom also m akes an excellent quality of honey, but th is plant is rapidly d is appearing as the project settles up, be ing cleared off to m ake room for the more profitable alfalfa. One of the main points in this indus try is th a t the bees need but little care as compared w ith any other line giving equal returns. R. E, and J . M. Thom are the pio neer apiarists of this sefction. They have som ething over 60 stands and will this year have betw een five and six tons of honey to dispose of. The num ber of stands is being increased each year and they have no trouble in find ing a m arket a t a good price. C. H. Crandall is another who has had a g re at deal of experience along this line. He has 28 stands. George A. Creasy is a W isconsin man who came to the project this spring, bringing his bees w ith him. He has followed this business for years in the E ast and is thoroughly posted. He had not expected to get a g re at deal of honey this season on account of moving the bees. A few days ago he discovered th a t he had 3,000 pounds. This result has encouraged him, so he will increase the num ber of stands as fa st as possible. He now has 40. Speaking of the quantity per stand produced here, Mr. Cressy said he could ship from here to the sam e E ast ern m arkets he form erly had and make more money per stand than he could when but a few m iles from the m arket. R O A D S FO R C R A T ER LAKE. E n g in e e rs L a y O u t H ig h w a y s N ational R e so rt. on B ig Medford— U nited S ta te s engineers, under the direction of Major I. J . Mor row, chief of the engineering corps, are a t work in the C rater Lake national park, laying plans for a com plete sys tem of roads and trails. There are three p arties in the field m aking the surveys. I t is the intention to make one of the m ost complete system s of highways th a t has ever been laid nut in a national park. L ast y ear congress appropriated $10,- 000 for the m aking of a survey of the park, the result of the work being the basis on which future appropriations for the im provem ent of the park will be made. The U nited S ta te s geological survey has ju st completed a topographic and contour map of C rater Lake park, which shows all of the points of in te r est, as well as the roads and trails through the park. This map will be published the first of next year. I t is the intention to m ake the park one of the g re atest sum m er resorts in the world. I t will not only be made a sum m er resort, but a tourist resort as well, and the im provem ents outlined by the engineers will m ake C rater Lake park equal to the Yellow stone in attractiveness.

The grapes from th is fam ous vine yard are known the whole Pacific Coast over for th eir excellent flavor, size and shipping quality. T hirty acres of Tokays, Rose of Perue and M alaga grapes for European varieties are pro ducing about 3,000 crates, which find a ready sale in all the m arkets of the Pacific N orthw est a t a h igher figure than those grown in any o ther section of the Pacific Coast. While the crop is light this year, prices are good and Tokays are selling in the Coast m ar k ets a t $1.35 a crate, Rose of Perue a t $1.85, and M alaga a t $1.10, while the sam e v arieties are selling from $1.25 to $1.75 in the G rants Pass m arket, fancy pack. These grapes are grown entirely w ithout irrigation. I t is conservatively estim ated th a t over 5,000 acres of land have been planted to Tokays during the past year. Mr. Carson’s crop is alw ays reliable and nets in favorable years from $300 to $600 an acre. P O R T U G A L IS R E P U B L IC .

B lue and G re e n F la g o f R e vo lu tio n is ts P la c e d on P a lace and R o y al S ta n d a r d H aule d D o w n . London, Oct. 5, 3:40 a. m .—Definite newB has been received here th a t a revolution broke out yesterday in L is bon, the capital of Portugal. Must of the arm y and navy are w ith the revo lutionists, w arships having bombarded the royal palace, and report has it th at the king, Manuel II, is virtually a prisoner there. The royal standard has been torn from the palace and the flag of the revolutionists flutters in its place. The royal palace stands above the riv er T ague in the w estern p a rt of the city, and the attack upon it by ships of the navy is understood to have been sim ultaneous w ith the uprising in the city. The S antander correspondent of the R euter T elegram company confirms the report of the revolution and adds that the rebels have captured the palace, taking the king prisoner. A dispatch from Santander, Spain, says th a t the Germ an steam er Capo Blanco, lying off Lisbon, has sent a w ireless dispatch to the effect th a t the rebels have hauled down the royal standard from the palace and hoisted a blue and green Republican flag in its place. This rep o rt says w arships began the bom bardm ent of the royal palace as soon as the uprising in the city began. The Tim es, in its issue th is morning, does not confirm the re p o rt th a t the king is a prisoner. I t contains no dis patches from its Lisbon correspondent, but it prin ts the M atin’B w ireless dis patch and says it has reason to believe th a t the news of the revolution is true, although the rum ors th a t the king is a prisoner are not well supported. “ We have given K ing Manuel notice to quit. The coming revolution will be a kindly affair. We shall kill the least possible num ber of persons.” In these words D r.

TRAINMEN DISOBEY ORDER; THIRTY-SEVEN ARE KILLED Staunton, III.—T hirty-seven persons were killed and from 16 to 25 were in jured in a collision on the Illinois T rac tion system tw o m iles north of here. A t least th ree of the injured will prob ably die. The collision was between local train No. 14, northbound, and an excursion train , No. 73, loaded w ith passengers on th eir way to view th e parade of the Veiled Prophet, a t SL Louis. The accident apparently was due to the dis regard of orders by the crew of train No. 14, in charge of M. A. Leonard, conductor, and John L ierm an, of Staunton, motorm an. T rain No. 14 had orders to pass train No. 73 a t Staunton. The latter train was running in two sections, and the orders given to No. 14 were ex p licit th a t it w ait for both sections. The first section of No. 73 had passed when the crew of No. 14 pulled out on the main trac k and sta rte d north. At D ickerson’s curve, a sharp bend two m iles from here, the two tra in s m et. H ills rise north and south from the curve. T rain No. 14 and the second section of No. 73, both on the down grade, were m aking 40 m iles an hour when they m et a t the sharpest p a rt of the curve. Confronted w ith death, the crews of both train s se t the brakes and jumped for th e ir lives. All escaped w ithout serious injury. None of the passengers had a chance fo r life.

Lisbon — Following th eir policy of extrem e vigilance, a uthorities of the provisional governm ent sen t a force to search the m onastery a t G race and a rre st the friars. On arriv in g they found the doors barricaded. The sold iers and m em bers of the populace fired several volleys into the building, whereupon the fria rs returned the a t tack, their bullets strik in g the road way and adjacent buildings. The a t tackers then w ithdrew for consulta tion. Shortly they returned to the attack, assailing the heavy doors of the con vent w ith b a tte rin g ram s. W hen the doors yielded, the soldiers and the peo ple rushed in and searched every cor ner of the edifice, but not a fria r was to be found. It is surm ised they made th eir escape by underground passages. On account o f reports th a t some troops in the provinces have not y et declared their adherence to the repub lic, the provisional governm ent has posted 39 heavy guns and 10 Maxims in trenches on the heights of the city, and are ready to check any attem pted invasion of Lisbon. Up to the pres ent, however, the governm ent has re ceived no advices of risings in favor of the monarch. The most in terestin g man in P ortu gal is the new president, Theophile B raga, who may be said w ithout exag geration to be the fath er, not only of th is revolution, but of th a t in Brazil, having, by his standing as a professor of his philosophy, paved the way fur both movements.
