K iev—The Russian Premier, Peter A. Stolypin, died Monday from the wounds caused by bullets o f an assass in at a gala performance at the Mu nicipal theater Thursday night. A l most until the last he was conscious. Towards the end Stolypin suffered greatly. Finally the heart action be came weaker and as the body grew cold, the premeir realized that death was overtaking him. In a lucid in terval, the priest administered ex treme unction. The Metropolitan Flavian blessed and consoled him in his last moments. Frequently the dy ing premier called: “ Give the letter. Take it away. Give me a red pencil.’ ’ * His last words were: “ L ift me. Light up. ” He died |>eacefully surrounded by several of his relatives and state offi cials. A ll hopes for the premier’s recovery was abandoned early Monday morning. Indications ¡were noted Saturday of peritonitis, which became aggravated Sunday. The bulletin issued by the attending physicians early Monday de clared that the patient’s condition was hopeless. Premature reports o f the premier’s death were current for hours before it occurred. Several missions and embassies were misled by these re ports and notified their governments. The auhorities at first decided to con ceal the news o f the premier’s death until morning, fearing anti-Jewish outbreaks. This was found to be im possible and after the announcement was made, all the attention o f the authorities was centered in the protec tion of the Jews. The Jewish population was panic stricken and begged for protection and 3,000 troops were poured into Kiev to prevent rioting. The city is depressed hut calm. M. Kokovsoff, the minister of finance, who was appointed acting premier after M. Stolypin was shot, has sent a peremptory circular to the various governors on the maintenance o f order. It is believed that M Kokovsoff will be appointed premier. Governor General Trepoff has issued a public notice that disorders will not be tolerated and stringent regulations are published forbidding the carrying o f arms. It is officially announced that the maneuvers are ended and the troops returning to Kiev. Discontent Strengthens Hanks Russian Revolutionists. Fruit Not in Danger From California Hops and Prunes Not Damaged, So Competition. Growers Report. Forest Grove— H. C. Atw ell, o f Forest Grove, president o f the State Horticultural society, has just re turned from a trip to California, where he went to judge the fruit at the second annual Gravenstein Apple show, held at Sebastopol, in Sonoma county, where the Gravenstein apple is extensively raised. Several car loads o f apples were exhibited and more than $2,000 disbursed in prem iums. “ Oregon apple growers have noth ing to fear from competition o f Cali fornia apples,” said Mr. Atw ell "A s id e from two or three mountain valleys o f very limited extent, the Pa- jaro valley produces virtually all the winter apples grown in that state. “ The apple trade there is entirely in the hands of Slavonians. It is said that only one American has ever been able to break into it. These foreign dealers buy the crop on the trees, pick and pack it themselves and cater, for the most part, to the cheaper trade. Such methods are not conducive to careful packing or high prices. This Pajaro valley is the only California district shipping winter apples beyond that state. “ As a past and prospective prune- grower, I was encouraged at being as sured by leading California horticul turists that successive years o f low prices and the growing popularity of the Oregon prune in Eastern markets, has led to the uprooting and neglect o f large areas o f California prune or chards, so that the production is now not much more than half what it was ten years ago.” Mr. Atw ell declares that, aside from apples, prunes, pears and logan berries will be the horticultural lead ers of the Willamette valley, since the land in this locality is admirably adapted for these fruits. He urges that more scientific methods be em ployed, both in the raising and in the packing and shipping. RAIN AID T O FRU IT. Hood A N AR C H ISTS ARE AC TIVE. of LANE C R O PS IN GOOD SHAPE. OREGON A P P LE S SAFE. River Orchardlst Sees Crop Next Year. Big Hood River— “ The heavy rain of the past week will go far toward in suring a good crop o f apples for the Hood R iver valley next year,” says C. R. Bone, one o f the valley’s pioneer orchardists. “ It was the heaviest early rainfall that 1 have ever seen for this section o f the state or Eastern Oregon. In 1893, we had a similar but the precipitation then was not so great. “ A t that time the grain farmers of Eastern, Oregon handled their crops rather lazily and when the heavy downpour came, they were all caught. Except what was threshed, the whole crop was entirely ruined, and with few exceptions every merchant from Portland to Spokane went broke. The rain taught the wheat farmers a les son, and since then they have hastened the harvesting of the crop. “ For the past decade the fall season has grown more erratic. I think that the clearing o f the timber o f the Hood River valley has had an effect toward decreasing the summer rains. Over in Central Oregon, however, the culti vation o f the soil has increased the summer precipitation. “ The soaking showers o f last week will strengthen the fruit spurs. It will take the place o f September irri gation and w ill be far more valuable. With a few more showers and sun shine and intermingling frosts to color the fru it the present year’s crop should mature in excellent condition.” Eugene— In spite o f the recent un precedented hail storm and the unus ually heavy rain o f the last ten days, I.ane county’s hop and prune crops have not suffered disastrous damage. In many o f the hop yards the storm blew down the poles and vines, but by quick picking the crop can be saved. The hail apparantly shattered very few hops from the vines, more dam age resulting from the blowing down o f the poles. The chief difficulty confronting the hopmen is to keep the pickers in the yards. Large numbers of them are breaking their camps and leaving for their homes because o f the extremely disagreeable weather. Growers will probably have to offer bonuses to the pickers, as under the weather condi tions rapid picking is imperative. The amount of damage done in d if ferent yards varies. A t the old Neis yard just above Springfield, the un picked crop is virtually ruined. At the Campbell & Walker yard, between Eugene and Springfield, the damage was heavy, the vines being blown down and badly damaged. A t the Seavy yard on the McKenzie, the lar gest in the county, the damage was slight. Seventy acres o f vines fe ll to the ground whemthe rain first began, but most of the hops were saved. The Bushnell yard, just north o f town, has suffered little damage as yet, and the Thornsbury yard on Patterson island is only slightly injured. Prunes and peaches have so far been little damaged, owing largely to the fact that the season is very late and the crop has ripened slowly. BENTON C O U N T Y WINS. Gets Prize for Best County Exhibit for Fourth Time. Salem — Benton county, for the fourth time in succession, walked off with the capital prize o f $300 for the best county exhibit at the State fair. The display was collected and arrang ed by W. F. Groves, and the exhibit was financed by the Corvallis Com mercial club. The other winners in the order o f award were: Clackamas, $250; Polk, $200; Columba, $150 Clatsop, $100, and Coos, $100. The display o f the winning county is largely o f fruits and vegetables. Mr. Groves says that in considerable degree the award was the result o f the great care taken in arranging the fruits and vegetables so that the col ors harmonized, making it easy for the judges to pick out their good points. I. L. Smith, o f Spokane, judged the exhibits.
