Chicago— Warren S. Stone, grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive^Engineers, and four of his assist
ants spent Saturday canvassing the re
cent strike vote taken by the men on
tiie Western railroads.
Mr. Stone estimated that 96 per cent
of the enginemen favored a strike.
The next move, according to Mr.
Stone, is with the railroads.
The railroads affected in the present
controversy are those extending west
from Chicago, and if the engineers
strike the Eastern roads will not be
drawn into the controvresy. There is
always a chance, however, of a sym
pathetic strike, and in that event the
Eastern engineers would join the strik
ers. Switching service in the Chicago
yards would be brought to a standstill.
Sixty-one railroads will be affected
if the engineers vote to strike and
their terms are not accepetd by the
managers. The number of enginemen
employed on these roads is 33,700. The
lines represent 136,000 miles of road,
or 53 per cent of the total mileage of
the country.
This vote is the first that has ever
been ordered by the Brotherhood of
Engineers on a general scale and it is
the first of any kind to be taken since
the strike on the Burlington in 1888.
“ Our brotherhood is known through
out the country for its conservatism/’
said Grand Chief Stone, “ and when
we take a strike vote it means some
thing. The managers tried to take ad
vantage! of us because we have not
been inclined to strike in the past.
We have done our best to maintain
harmony, and have even made conces
sions that our men would not be wil
ling to accept.
If it comes to a
strike, whi'ffi now eeems likely, we
will tie up every road west of Chi
cago.”
After months of negotiations the
demands of the engineers now are
some 7 per cent higher than the rail
road managers are willing to grant.
If the demands are not acceded to a
strike that will close the throttle of
every railroad locomotive west, south
and north of Chicago may be called
within five hours, it was intimated.
C o n d itio n s on C o a s t.
O. R. & N. Co., $4.40 to $5.20 for
a run of 100 miles or less, to be com
pleted in 10 hours or less.
Southern Pacific, $3.75 to $5.17 for a
run of 100 miles or less, to be com
pleted in 8 hours or less.
Overtime, pro rata.
General increase requested 15 per
cent.
Number of engineers affected 425.

Iris h
Liverpool, Eng. — Premier Asquith
has pronounced home rule for Ireland
the leading issue in the present cam
paign.
This momentous pronounce
ment was made in a small schoolhouse
of a remote village in Scotland but al
ready it has stirred the whole British
Islands and eclipsed all other issues in
the fight.
The pronouncement was made in
answer to a “ heckler” as the typical
disturber of British political meetings
is called.
“ Is it the truth,” asked this heckler,
“ that, if the Liberal government is re
turned to power in this election, it will
give Ireland a measure of home rule?”
“ My reply,” said Asquith, “ is, ‘it
is.’ ”
Though Redmond was well aware
that it was Asquith’s intention! to give
Irish home rule an immediate chance,
the carpers and factionists in Ireland
have been insisting that Asquith was a
trickster and that Redmond was his
dupe. But even the Dublin Independ
ent, chief supporter of the Healy fac
tion, confesses that Asquith's confes
sion leaves no more to be said, and is
entirely satisfactory.

Portland — Over $10,000 worth of
poultry is on exhibit at the annual
show of the Oregon Poultry & Pet
Stock association in the Lilly Seed
company’s^buidling, Front and Salmon
street*.
There are about 100 fowls entered
for prizes. J. C. Murray, secretary,
.said that the show is much better this
year than ever, and that the important
breeds are more largely represented.
White Leghorn« number 100, White
Wyandottes 85, Barred Plymouth
Rocks 85, while the displays of Buff
Brown Leghorns and White and Buff
Orpinghtona include a large number.
The jugdes of the show are H. H.
Collier, of Tacoma, and W. M. Coates,
of Vancouver, B. C.
“ The Portland show is excellent and
one of the best 1 have attended this
fall,“ said Mr. Colier. “ There are
some fowls on exhibit here that would
be prize-winners any place.
“ Why the people of this state do not
devote more attention to the poultry
industry is surprising to me. Condi
tions here are favorable for the busi
ness. The raising of poultry is both
pleasant and profitable.
“ The people of the entire North
west, it seems to me are overlooking a
big field in the poultry production. It
is certainly absurd for us to import
poultry and eggs from Kansas and
other states. We should be doing ex
actly the other thing. Where we have
one hen now we should have three.
Over-production of poultry and a su
perfluous supply of fresh eggs will be
a most improbable occurrence in this
country.
“ The states of the Pacific Northwest
would do an important thing for the
industry, in my opinion, if they would
create pure food laws regulating the
cold-storage people.
I believe that
storage companies should be required
to stamp the dressed poultry, showing
the time it was received and placed in
cold storage.
Every egg that has
been placed in cold storage should be
marked, giving the date of its en
trance. Farmers should also be re
quired to stamp the eggs the day they
are laid. By this means, we could tell
a fresh egg when we saw it.
It is
certainly unpleasant to pay fresh-egg
prices for eggs that are stale.
“ Regarding the show, I believe it is
the most complete of any I have at-
tendc*d for some time. The people of
Portland should turn out and encourage
it."
Medford For the purpose of inves
tigating the soil' and climatic condi
tions of the Rogue River valley, to
ascertain whether ginseng may be suc
cessfully grown here, Charles A.
Trapp, of Houston, Me., who has
worked on and known of the original
ginseng farm since its beginning, is
in Medford and will search all parts of
the valley for the desired spot upon
which to establish this new industry.
Mr. Trapp believes the plant may be
successfully grown here without the
expense of shading it, and in this man
ner may be grown on a much larger
scale than in other climates, and
should all conditions prove favorable,
he expects to purchase hillside lands
and enter the business on a large scale,
as he represents well established and
wealthy ginseng growers of the Middle
West.
Ginseng farming is one of the most
profitable pursuits to which the soil
can be put in case the country is adapt
ed to the growth of that herb, and as a
usual thing a country which will grow
oak, cottonwood, alder and pine is
adapted to the growth of ginseng.
This herb, in its growth, requires but
little heat, in fact, in South Missouri,
the original home of ginseng farming
in the United States, the plant is
grown under shade, and in its wild state
is found growing in a mulch of dead
leaves and forest debris, in the most
shaded places.

Salem Frank W. Benson took the
oath of office as secretary of state be
fore Chief Justice Moore, of the Su
preme court, and left immediately on
the Shasta Limited for California,
where he expects to remain for some
time until .bis health is improved.
The need of a warmer climate is driv
ing him to the South. The governor
was accompanied by Mrs. Benson.
The certificate of election which was
delivered to Mr. Benson by the chief
clerk is probably unique in the annals
of the state. It certifies to the elec-
tiomof F. W. Benson as secretary of
state, and is signed by F. W. Benson
as governor, and also is attested to by
F. W. Benson as secretary of state.
Mr. Benson also canvassed the vote as
governor and secretary of state, con
stituting as such the majority of the

Klamath Falls—Word has reached
this city that a large dam recently
built by private interests to store
water for the irrigation of about 4,000
acres of land in Langell valley about
40 miles from Klamath Falls, was
washed out by the heavy rains and
melting snow. The construction of the
dam cost several thousand dollars. In
addition to the loss of construction the
promoters of the irrigation system will
not be in readiness to furnish water
next spring, which will bring great
loss to the settlers under the project.

Sutherlin—Sutherlin suffered a se

Most of the burned

the merchants occupying them had

goods and winter merchandise. Luck
ily, there is a large stock of lumber on
hand in the yards of the Sutherlin
Lumber company, and new buildings
will be erected immediately after ad
justment of the fire losses.
