T h ey a re.w e ll supplied on the U m atilla

be one of the best known. Sagebrush
bloom also m akes an excellent quality
of honey, but th is plant is rapidly d is

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

more money per stand than he could

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.

KING MADE PRISONER
Portuguese Revolutionists Capture
City and Royal Palace.

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. Alfonso Costa,
the m ost advanced of the Portuguese
Republican leaders, warned the world
of the intentions of the revolutionary
p arty im m ediately a fte r the general
elections a t the end of A ugust. P a rt,
a t least, of his prediction seems to be
verified in th e b rief undetailed dis
patches a t hand this m orning.
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.
