IHOUSTIL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE C EM ENT PLA N T SEEN GRADE OF A P P LE S HIGH. Lands o f Douglas County Believed Hood Source o f Materials. Roseburg—A fte r years o f expert ments in which thousands o f dollars have been spent, Douglas county destined to become one o f the fore most cement-producing counties in the United States. Up to a short time ago the State o f Oregon was declared to be one of the few states in the Un ion in which raw materials suitabl for the manufacture o f Portland cein ent were scarce. It was considered in Oregon an im possibility to find raw materials limestone and shale—in the same lo cality; otherwise no company could have possibly been formed which would have to face such difficulties in the way o f hauling raw materials to the Portland Cement company. The location o f these newly discov ered deposits is the Riedle property near Roseburg. The raw materials, an abundance o f limestone o f the highest grade, almost pure marble and shale o f uniform composition, are on the north and south side o f the property at an altitude o f several hun dred feet in such a position that they would be about 100 feet above th crushers o f a cement plant built on one o f the hillsides and that the lime stone would be within 500 feet and the shale within 1,000 feet of the crushers. Dr. W. Michael is, o f Chicago, who thoroughly examined these properties and burned Portland cement from the limestone and shale on the Riedel property, declared these deposits to contain the most uniform and valuable cement materials west o f Devil Slide, Utah. In all, Mr. Riedle controls practical ly 280 acres o f land, adjoining the properties owned by the Portland, Os wego, Dallas & Roseburg railroad The land lies at the head o f Roberts Creek and is accessible to transports tion. Mr. Riedle says he will develop the property within the next year, having already arranged for the net* essary capital. River Hat 70 Per Cent of Crop Extra Fancy. Hood River— Showing the crop to be 70 per cent extra fancy, statistics have just been compiled on the returns so far received from the 1911 apple output o f the Hood River valley, for the fruit sold up to February 1 o f this year. A statement o f the prices f. o. b. Hood River, giving the averages of the two averages o f the Hood River Apple Growers’ union and the David son Fruit company, has been made public as follows by the Commercial club in a folder just issued: “ Kxtra Fancy,” 70 percent; “ Fan cy,” 25 per cent, and “ C Grade” 5 per cent. Yellow Newtown Pippin, extra fan cy, $1.99 per box. Arkansas Black, extra fancy, $2.12; fancy, $1 75; C grade, $1.35. Black Twigs, one grade, $1.42. Red Cheek Pippins, $1.02. Winter Bananas, extra fancy, $2.40, Baldwin, one grade, $1.30. Spitzenberg, extra fancy, $2.14. Wagner, one grade, $1.60. Ortley, extra fancy, $2.05. Strawberries, 60,000 crates, or 100 cars, at an average o f $2.25 a crate. Pears, 25 cars; Bartletts, $1.25 per box, and D'Anjou, $1.92 per box. The average o f the Yellow New- towns will be materially increased when the full returns are received in the late spring. The greater part of the Newtown crop is as yet unsold. The principal markets o f the Hood River apple are shown to be London, Liyerpool, Hamburg, New York City, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Rockford and other cities contiguous to the above. An increasing demand during the past two years has been showing itself in the Middle West and Southern states. Several carloads of Hood River apples have been disposed o f in Tennessee and Arkansas within the past few months. Texas also con sumes a great quantity o f the fruit and is demanding more. ARM Y ANO NAVY STORES. Cheaper Military Supplies Co-operative Plan. Aim A KmOQAÏÏQVŒ dDC H>Q ) I MtnroQciDtpmQïïAW aura T midd DEGREE of New York— As the result o f an earnest discussion among army und naval otlicers some years past as to the possibility o f duplicating in this country a system o f co-operative mil itary stores in England by which those in service may buy any article o f mer chandise at a slight advance over cost price,Ithe Army and Navy Co-opera tive company was incorporated at A l bany, with the approval of the secre tary of state. Within a few months the company will have stores open in this city and ready for business. The chief pur pose o f the corporation is to "reduce the cost of living by selling the best articles o f "domestic consumption and general use at the lowest remunera tive rates.” The advantages o f the organization are to be extended, not only to the army and navy and all civilian em ployes of both branches of the service, but to the state m ilitia as well, be cause o f the recent close relations be tween regular and volunteer army and navy men. Rear Admiral Manx is one o f the incorporators and will he elected pres ident. Captain Henry H. Scott, Coast Artillery corps, another o f the incor porators, who is a son-in-law of Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, was one of the 40 officers chosen by the War department to go to San Francisco at the time o f the great fire to direct re lie f work. REBELS ENCOURAGED. Proclamation o f Gomez Indicates Revolution is Gaining. Mexico City — £]milio Vasquez Go mez' frank public declaration that he will accept the provisional presidency in case the rebels succeed in forcing F. I. Madero from the national palace, has gone far toward convincing unoffi cial residents of the capital that a general rebellion is in progress. Mexican officials, however, continue to characterize as local disorders ev ery insurrection in the country. Although rebels are now operating in 18 states, the department o f the in terior continues to give out news de nying trouble in a great part of these. There was a fight at San Pedro, 30 miles from Torreon, in which 27 men were killed, the majority said to have been rebels, commanded by Jose Ar- gumedo. Such information as is obtainable from Torreon indicates that for a con siderable distance to the East and as far South and West as Durango, the capital o f the same name, the region is being raided almost at will by the rebels. The government has denied officially that Guerrero, in Chihuahua, has fallen into the hands o f rebels. With the exception o f the six South ern states where Emiliano Zapata and Jesus H. Salgado are stubbornly re sisting the army now waging a war o f extermination, and with some head way, the region most seriously men aced is that in the stat *s of Coahuila and Durango. Other states in which rebels are operating are Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, Jadisco and Michoacan. Far South in Tabasco and in the state o f Vera Cruz there are bands which appear to be closely connected with the Zapatista movement. 5 CHABLE K LEIN Y y A RTH L'RH O RN BLO W Y ILLUSTRATIONS BY RAY 'WALTERS corpamr COSTHCXI.

There was a note of scorn in hls voice which aroused his visitor’s wrath. Crumpling up hls letter In her hand, she confronted him angrily. "Shall I tell you why I care?” she cried. “ Because you accuse me in this letter of being the cause of your death — I, who have been your friend In spite of your dishonesty. Oh! it’s des picable, contemptible! Above all, it’s a lie—“ Underwood shrugged hls shoulders. Cynically he replied: “ So it wasn’t so much concern for me as for yourself that brought you here.’’ Alicia’s eyes flashed as she an swered: “ Yes, I wished to spare myself this Indignity, the shame of being asso ciated in any way with a suicide. I was afraid you meant what you said.” “ Afraid,” Interrupted Underwood bitterly, "that some of the scandal j might reach as far as the aristocratic I Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr !" Her face flushed with anger, Alicia : paced up and down the room. The man's taunts stung her to the quick. In a way, she felt that he was right. She ought to have guessed his charac ter long ago and had nothing to do with him. He seemed desperate enough to do anything, yet she doubt ed if he had the courage to kill him self. She thought she would try more conciliatory methods, so, stopping short, she said more gently: “ You know my husband has suffered through the wretched marriage of hls only son. You know how deeply we both feel this disgrace, and yet you would add—” Underwood laughed mockingly. “ Why should I consider your hus band’s feelings?” he cried, “ lie didn’t consider mine when he married you.” Suddenly bending forward, every nerve tense, he continued hoarsely: "Alicia, I tell you I’m desperate. I’m hemmed In on all sides by creditors. You know what your friendship—your patronage means? If you drop mo now, your friends will follow— they’re a lot of sheep led by you—and when my creditors hear of mo they’ll be down on me like a flock of wolves. I’m not able to make a settlement. Prison stares me In the face." Glancing around at the handsome furnishings, Alicia replied carelessly: “ I’m not responsible for your wrong doing. 1 want to protect my friends. If they ore a lot of sheep, as you say, that is precisely why 1 should warn them. They have Implicit confidence in me. You have borrowed thoir mon ey, cheated them at cards, stolen from them. Your acquaintance w ith ine has given them the opportunity. But now I've found you out. I refuse any long er to sacrifice my friends, my self-re- pect, my sense of decency.” Angrily she continued: "You thought you could bluff me. You’ve adopted this cow ard’s way of forcing me to receive you against my will. Well, you’ve failed. I will not sanction your rob bing my friends. I will not allow you to sell them any more of your high- priced rubbish, or permit you to cheat them at cards.” Underwood listened in silence. He # stood motionless, watching her Hushed face as she heaped reproaches on him. She was practically pronouncing hls death sentence, yet he could not help thinking how pretty she looked. When e had finished he said nothing, but, going to his desk, he opened a small drawer and took out a revolver. Alicia recoiled, frightened. “ What are you going to do?” she cried. Underwood smiled bitterly. “ Oh, don’t be afraid. I wouldn’t do It while you are here. In spite of all you’ve said to me, I still think too much of you lor that.” Replacing the pistol in the drawer, he added: “ Alicia, if you desert me now, you’ll be sorry to the day of your death.” His visitor looked at him in silence. Then, contemptuously, she said: He helped himself lo another drink, his hand shaking so that he could hardly hold the decanter. He was fast approaching the state of complete intoxication Underwood made no at V tempt to interfere. Why should he care if the young fool made a sot of himself?
