Marshfield—The city of North Bend is planning to have its own water works system. Engineer Stannard, of Portland, who laid out the system for Bandon in this county, has made the plans and estimates for a municipal system here, and the members o f the city council will meet in a few days to hear the engineer’s report. The city now gets its water from a plant in Marshfield which is owned by a private corporation. The purpose is to estab lish a municipal system which will guarantee a supply for the future. Ships 125 Turkeys. Corvallis— Corvallis boasts of one of the largest shipments o f turkeys at this time o f the year to Portland. A commisssion merchant here has just purchased from a farmer at Bell Foun tain, this county, 125 turkeys averag ing 11 pounds and making a total in weight of 1,438 pounds. The load of turkeys brought $237.30. The farmer raised the turkeys without much effort, as they were fed but little grain and were made to earn their own living. Payment Date Extended. Hermiston— Word has just been re ceived by Secretary Upthegrove o f the Umatilla project that the secretary of the interior has granted an extension o f time for the payment o f the 1909 building charge. This will be a great help to the settlers on the project, for instead of having to pay the charge in December they are given until March 31, 1911.

New York — Rushing in from the ocean, one of the heaviest fall bliz zards of years struck the Atlantic sea board, piling snow and sleet upon New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash ington and intermediate points, tear ing down telegraph and telephone wires and delaying trains. The entire coast north of Baltimore is covered with a thick blanket of Boggy, wet snow. Telegraph wires were broken down so badly by the sleet that the telegraph companies re ported that they were getting commer cial messages through only at a great effort and at a cost of considerable delay. The storm was the most severe about Baltimore and Washington, all wires being reported down between these two cities. In Eastern Pennsylvania communciation with Chicago could be obtained only by way o f Boston. Trains were delayed everywhere and some of the trolley lines had to give up all attempts at maintaining regular schedules. Washington communicated only in termittently with the rest o f the world. Wires were blown in all directions by a whirling mixture of snow and rain, which swept over the city all night. There is no communication whatever between the national capital and points to the north, and in other directions wire service is almost as bad. CHINESE C U T S H IS QUEUE. Walla Walla Orientals Obeying Order o f Far-O ff Emperor. Walla Walla—Obeying the command of his emperor, miles away across the seas, Shoo Fly, the best known China man in the Walla Walla valley, has cut off his queue. For 40 years he has worn his glossy braid, sometime swing ing behind him as he walked, but more often coiled tightly about his head. The example set by Shoo Fly is being followed by others of the Chinese here, and it is said that only a few o f the picturesque head dressings remain in the city. All are to go, say those who can talk English, and while not all have complied with the order, which permits the cutting o f the hair, all are expected to do so as soon as they become a little more used to the custom. Walla Walla has a large Chinese quarter, owing to the many gardens near here, and meetings dis cussing the newest edict have been frequently held of late. By popular decision, the Chinamen, most of whom are becoming quite modernized, have decided to drop the ancient custom. P AR LIA M E N T IS CALLED. Chinese Emperor Issues Decree For 1913 Meeting. Pekin— An official decree was issued announcing that an imperial parlia ment, the first in the history of China, would be convened in 1913. This is a concession to the demands o f the recently constituted senate and delegations of the provincial assem blies. The program fixed by the late empress dowager provided for the as sembling of an imperial parliament in 1915, but until recently the throne had refused to entertain petitions praying that the date be advanced. The de cree sets forth that the parliament will be convened in three years. The police went from house to house informing the occupants o f the edict. Presently the dragon banner and paper lanterns appeared above every door. Beyond this there was no public mani festation over the momentous news. Women On Strike March. Chicago— Led by a throng of women singing the “ Marseillaise,” several thousand striking garment workers paraded through the North Side fac tory district. The marchers visited each of the “ open shops” in this sec tion and shouted derisively at non union workers and strikebreakers. Several attempts at disorder were quelled by the police, who made a number of arrests. Mrs. Raymond Robina, president of the Women’s Trade Union league, said that the striking women are anxious to submit their grievances to arbtra- tion and that she believed the strike would be settled within a fe w days. STRIFE III CHICAGO Rioting Garment Workers Defy Po lice and 15 Are Injured. One Officer Stabbed and Strikers Trampled and Beaten— 14 Year Old Girl Is Leader. Chicago, Nov. 3 .- -Grim specters of the days of the Haymarket riots haunted Chicago’s streets for a brief time late this afternoon, when In spector Healy and a squad of 60 police men with drawn revolvers charged several thousand striking garment workers who were rioting on the West Side. One policeman was stabbed, 15 riot ers were seriously injured and 20 strik ers and sympathizers were arrested during the fight, which threatened to get beyond police control. This, the most serious outbreak since the inception of the strike, oc curred at the plant of A. Lott & Co. Before the poliee arrived, the strikers had broken all the windows in the large building occupied by the clothing manufactures, had driven strikebreak ers out and had carried a large number of sewing machines into the streets, where they w’ere destroyed. The strikors and their followers put up a desperate fight. Many of them were knocked down by the clubs and revolvers of the police and not a few were trampled upon. Some of the em ployes of the company joined the strik ers and are said to have assisted in pulling machines from the floors. Men and women were hurling stones and bricks through the windows of the plant when Inspector Healy and his band of reserves arriveJ. The in spector found difficulty in getting to gether the disorganized force of police men which had borne the brunt of the earlier fighting. When he had done so, however, the policemen charged through the center of the mob, knock ing down all in their way. Many o f the rioters fled when they saw the policemen draw their revol vers. Those who remained firm hurled clubs and stones at the approaching officers. The attitude of the police indicates that much more serious trouble is an ticipated within the next 24 hours. All preparations are being made for hastily calling in the reserves from outlying stations und mobilizing a large force in the down town district. Strikers tonight held a dozen largely attended meetings on the west and north sides and also down town. The feeling at these meetings was intense and agitators urged the strikers to fur ther disorder. Meanwhile, various clubwomen who have interested them selves in the cause of the girl garment workers were urging their followers to refrain from any action which might injure their cause. The strike is not for an increase of wages, but for the principle of "collec tive bargaining," as the strikers term their demand for recognition of the union. Josie Mielewski, 14 years old, led one o f the most serious riots when an at tack was made on the shops o f Kuh, Nathan & Fisher. She and a number o f others were arrested. The strikers, numbering about 200, had broken several windows and had conquered the guard around the place when the police arrived. A t the word charge from the poliee the girl is said to have shouted: "G e t together, men, charge the police. Get the jump on ’em.’.’ The strikers responded to her call and attacked the bluecoats. The latter used their clubs and scattered the mob. Josie and a youth named Frank Brex fought to the last, continuing their re sistance even in the patrol wagon. River Island Is Burning. Sacramento, Cal. — Brannan island, in Sacramento river, below this city, is actually burning up. F ifty acres of land have already been burned and the fire is beyond control, as the only pump suitable for the emergency was re moved last summer.

But Chicago Well known club and soci ety women dumbfounded the police de partment through interference in the strike o f the garment workers.
