mier Stolvpin in a telegram sl dressed
to the governors general, governors and
nr!wt throughout Russia and to the
vicerov of the Caucasus, who are or
dutmii to strike and snare nothing in
efforts to preserve order and crush
"the enemies of society." Included
in this catego.v. as shown by the
events of the day, are not only revolu
tionists and Socialists, but also Hie i

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
BALANCE FAVORS ISLANDS.
OIL KINGS ESCAPE PRISON.
Government Will Try Only to Impose
Fines.
Cleveland, O., July 25. The govern
ment has altered its plan, of action
against the Standard Oil company,-and
the result will save its officers from a
possible term in prison. It was stated
tonight that the Federal authorities
have decided to prosecute the oil in,
quiry under the charge of misde
meanor, which means that only a fine
can be imposed in case of conviction.
Heretofore the charge has been felony,
which meant both fine and imprison'
ment.
The government will proceed with
the inquiry in Chicago by filing infor
mation against the Standard and its
officers. A grsnd jury will be dispensed
with altogether. The district attorney
will file an information against the oil
company's officers, they will be hauled
into court and, if convicted, will be
fined.
The change of action is of national
importance. It is said that Attorney
General Moody has concluded that the
heat results can tie obtained bv the ln
diction of heavy fines under the Elkins
law.
THANKS FOR NEW FOOD LAW.
GOOD WAGES IN HAYFIELDS.
Klimith Bailn Farmers Pay $2 Per
Day and Board.
Klamath Falls Laboring men can
do well in Klamath basin. Haying
has brought on a tremendous demand
for men of brswn, and wages started at
$2 a day and board in the hayflelJs
Mason, Davis & Co., contractors on tbs
canal, promptly met the wage with the
additional inducement of an eight-hour
day, and farmers generally realise tbat
an eigbt-bour day in caring for a crop
of alfalfa would hardly do. It is
bumper crop of bay that is being cut in
this county, too, and many rancnes re
port that tonnage of from four to five
tons is not unusual.
With all of this vsst production, ap
pearances indicate that good prices will
be realized, as there are more animals
to be fed than ever before. Especially
will the demand for bay suitable for
horses be called for in large quantity
for the animals employed la construct
ing canals, laterals and other portions
of the government work and building
the railroads rescbing this wsy for the
tonnage the valley is to produce. The
government has decided to build the
second nnit of its csnsl without asking
for further bids on the work and will
immediately proceed to equip the addi
tional camps necessary for that work
The wages of men at the government
camps has been increased to correspond
with that offered by farmers and tbe
contractor.
Work on tbe canal system is now go-
inn ahead raoidlv. D. O. Henny. su
pervising engineer, who succeeded J. B
Llppincott on this project, .is acquaint

Retail Grocers Proclaim It Good
.Want More of It.
Chicago, juiy zo mrougn its exe
cutive committee, which met here to
day, 150 000 members of the National
Retail Grocers' association thanked
President Roosevelt for the stand he
took In regard to the pure food law re
cently passed bv congress. "Although
the law has some defects, it is a big
step iu the right direction," said John
A Greene, president of the association,
It Is the retail grocers who sre most
leeply concerned in the pure food
movement, and it was our sssociation
which started and helped to maintain
the campaign. We bad a committee in
Washington most of last session of con
gress, we now will make a campaign
in the various ststes for laws ti con
form to the national pure food law and
to make conviction under the itate
aws possible We predict that inside
of two year the manufacture of impnre
lood will be impossible."

Barley Stands H at Best.
The Dalles Headers are running all
over the county in tbe farming sec
tions, and tbe grain is being stacked
ready for threshing. As yet no thresh
Ing machines have started, but several
will begin this week. As harvest ad
vances, it is shown thai tbe wheat crop
is better than was thought a week ago
The quality of spring grain is inferior.
None of tbe spring grain is No. 1.
The fall wheat is of good quality, but
most farmers estimate that their fall
wheat will not yield over 15 bushel to
the acre about half a crop. Barley is
the best crop this season, having stood
the bot weather better than wheat or
oats.
Have 72 Psr Cent of Offices.
Salem Out of 842 county offices in
the state the Republicans hold 249 and
the Democrats hold 88, while only two
are filled by Independents, one by a
Prohibitionist and one by a woman who
bas no political party designation. One
office is vacant. The Republicans bold
72.8 per cent of the county offices and
the Democrats 25.7 per cent. The In
dependent elected secured the office of
surveyor in two counties and the Pro
hibitionists elected a coroner. The
woman elected is Miss Emma Warren,
who was elected school superintendent
of Clatsop county. No one was elected
coroner of Wheeler county.
For New Woman's Building.
Albany After holding a meeting of
the board of regents of the Oregon Agri
cultural college at Corvallis, tbe mem
bers of the board cam,e to Albany last
week and at an adjourned session in
this city awarded the contract for the
new woman's building, to I e erected
on the csmpue, to II. Snook. Tbe con
tract price is $HO,0'0, that being the
lowest bid by $2,000. The building
will be constructed of the granite from
the quarries at Detroit, the eastern
terminus of the Corvallis & Eastern
railroad, and the building Hone at Ya-
quina bay.
Fifteen Dead in Ruins.
Ron h Framlnghara, Mass., July 25
The finding; today of the bodv of
Henry L. Sawyer, a prominent bard-
ware dealer, who went to the collapsed
building on Concord street to inspect
the plumbing plans, brought the num
ber of dead np to 11, and it is believed
that there are four mors bodies in the
ruins. The csnse of the sccldent cnnld
not be definitely learned today. The
town has no hnilling laws, snd any
proceedings In connection with fanlty
construction will have to be brought by

Harvesting Begins In Linn.
Albany Harvesting has begun in
Linn county. While some damage to
spring grain has been reported, as a re
sult of unusually warm weather lasting
or several days, these reports are the
exception rather than the rule. Fall
sown grain wss damaged but little, and
an excellent crop will be garnered.
Late sown spring grain will improve
considerably yet under tbe influence of
the cool weather now prevailing. Hay-
ins is practically over, and the baler
will add the finishing touches before
the fall rains set in.
BEST IS UNION.
Iowa Expert Says Dairying Conditions
Excel His State.
Salem That Oregon can produce
butter cbes per than any other stste in
the Union and that Oregon creamery
men are nevertheless figuring on iui
porting cresm from Minnesota, were
startling assertions mad at a dairy
men's meeting ,,. Lt week.
Professor McKay, of the dairy de
partment of the Iowa fetate Agricultural
college, was the Drincioal speaker. He
said that although bis stste produces
more butter than an other state, be
freely acknowledged thtt this is a mors
advantageous region for dairying, for
tbe reason tbat tbe climate is less sub
ject to inch extreme conditions. He
said Oregon should not import a pound
of butter, but rhould be an exporter
when that product can be shipped to
New York for 2 cents a pound and to
Liverpool for 2i cents. He urged the
extension of dairying ai means of re
taining lartu fertility.
Director James Withvcombe. of the
Oregon experiment station, said that
tbe dairy products iu this state, this
year will have a vain of $8,000,000
and in a few years dairying will sur
pass lumbering, which Is now our
great eft wealth producing Industry.
He said that ons creamery operator is
figuring on importing cream from Min
neeota, and deplored such a condition,
when the Willamette vslley will pro
duce 10 to 15 too of green corn feed or
3U tons of green alfalfa per acre.
Dairy Commissioner J. W. Bailey
spoke in a similar strain, saying tbat
be bas seen hsy offered for sale this
year at $2.60 a ton in the field and yet
tbe farmer had no stock to sell.
Philippine Exports Exceed Import
First Time Since Annexation.
Washington, July 21 Tbe two most
noteworthy features of the commercial
returns of the Philippine islands for
1905 are a balance iu favor of the i
lands for the first calendar year period
In the history of the American occupa
tion, and the advance of American
goods to tbe first rank in tbe import
trade. The favorable trade balance is
due to increased export vslues, which
aggregated $33,454,744, or more than
$4 000,000 in excess of the exports for
1904. An increase of $500,000 in
American trade in 1905 with tbe is
lands, combined with a decline in rice
imports, gives to tbe United States the
lead, and in view of the anticipated
further decline in the demand for for
elgn rice in the islands, the United
States is expected to continue to in
crease its lead.
Tbe increase of $2,000,000 in the
imports from tbe United States in tbe
last five years is largely made np of
imports of iron and steel and their
manufactures; cotton, raw and manu
factored, and illuminating oil. The
iron and steel trade approximated $3,
000,000 in value. Great Britain gained
most in the iron and steel trsde with
tbe islands, but tbe United States takes
the lead, whereas Great Britain was
formerly in the lead. There is (till
great room for improvement in tbe ex
ports from the United States to the i
lands.

Athena Needs Laborers,
Athens there is a scarc'ty of labor
ers in this vx inity. Farmers bave ad
vertised for men, but few respond and
owing to tie fact that tbe warm
weather bas hastened the harvest many
men are needed ana good wages are
offered. Much wheat on light soil is
mined and will not be harvested. A
few weeks ago this wheat was Very
promising. John Bannister, a large
farmer, says tbat his crop is damaged
or.e half in many plaes.

Used Large Quantities During
War With Russia.
Washington, July 24. Complete fig
ures of tbe exports of American canned
meats for tbe paat fiscal year are shown
today in a statement issued by tbe de
partment of Commerce and Labor. The
value of canned meats exported from
the United State in June. 1906, was
$461,100, against $797,127 in June,
1905, and in tbe fiscal year 1906. $9,
233,410, against $9,977,045 in 1905.
Tbe figures for tbe fiascl rear 1906
included: Canned beef, $6,430,446:
canned pork, $1,215,85,7; and other
canned meats, $1,587,107. The quan
tity of canned beef exported in tbe fl
cai year was 04,623,300 pounds, as
against 66,688,568 pounds in 1905.
Tbe reduction in exports occurred al
most excluaively in tbe shipments to
Japan, which country took large
amounts of American beef during the
wai, bnt greatly decreased -her imports
on tbe disbandment of the army. The
exports to Japan during the fiscal year
1906 were- 2,306,683 pounds, against
14,687,165 pounds in 1905, and in the
month of June, 1906, were 34,412
pounds, sgsinst 3,612,188 pounds in
June, 1905.
The United Kingdom wa tbe great
est buyer of canned beef, exports to
tbat country increasing 4.758,815
pounds for the fiscal year, but decreas
ing for tbe month of June, 1906.
St. Petersburg. July 24. The great
news of today is tbe adoption ol an ad
dress to tbe people by the deputies to
parliament, who assembled at iborg
tbe language of which, with its re vol u
tionary demands that tbe people cease
to furnish money and troops to the gov
ernment and repudiate further loans,
affords pretext enough for tbe govern
meut to lodge Its authors in the fortreei
if it feels strong enough. A rumor was
spread tonight tLai this course bad
been decided upon.
Copies of tbe appeal to tbe people
are in the bands of all St. Petersburg
newspapers, but it will scarcely be
printed tomorrow, for tbe reason tbat a
detachment of police is posted at tbe
door of every newspaper printing office
in tbe city, with orders not to permit
any payers to leave tbe building until
authorised by tbe censor. Tbe author
ities hope by equally vigorous measures
to prevent tbe publication of the appeal
in other cities, and in tbe meantime to
nullify tbe fears of tbe people as to tbe
possible effect of tbe appeal.
Meanwhile tbe masses of tbe Russian
people, slow of thought and action,
bate not yet roused themselves to the
gigantio npbeaval which is sure to fol
low the dissolution of their parliament.
Minor disorders are reported from half
a dosen cities. An Incipient anti-Jew
ish outbreak at Odessa bas been check
ed by the police. A sympathetic strike
bas been begun at the Khatkov rail
road shops, which may inaugurate a
general tieup of communication, but
St. Petersburg, Moscow and most of
the other great centers are still calm.
v
Places Russia Back Under His
Own Despotic Rule.
St. Petersburg, July 23 Russia's
first experiment in parliamentary gov
ernment came to an ignominious end
Saturday night with the promulgation
of two imperial ukases, the first dis
solving the present parliament and pro
viding for tbe convocation of its suc
cessor on March 6, 1907, more than
six months bence, and tbe second pro
claiming the capital of Russia and the
surrounding province to be in a state of
extraordinary security, which Is only
inflnitessimally different from full mar
tial law. This measure of safety is to
provide for the outburst which un
doubtedly will be provo-ed by this
daring measure. It is now but a step
to dictatorship.
There is little doubt that tbe order
for the convocation of the new assem
bly will still further postpone the time,
unless tbe new parliament promises to
be more amenable than the present.
The delay in fixing tbe time for tbe
new elections seems to indicate a de
cision to change tbe present basis of
suffrage to perhaps a basis of universal
suffrage with which tbe advisers of the
emperor hope to swamp the educated
liberals, tbe Socialists and tbe work
men with tbe vast mas of peasantry.
Tbe only uncertainty is toe coming
storm when and wbere it will break..
The advocates of tbe "mailed fist" be
lieve tbat, by dissolving parliament
and provoking a collision now, tbey
will find tbe revolutionary leaders not
prepared for an uprising at Moscow,
whereas further delay would nearlr
give tbe revolntionists the time needed
to organ ire and to continue tbe corrup
tion ol tbe army.
There are no precedents In Russian
history for tbe execution of an order of
prorogation, but today probably will
find tbe palace in possession of the mi
litia and the surrounding streets deliv
ered to the emperor's guards.

No Houses for Hundreds Who Would
Return to San Francisco.
San Francisco, July 24. San Fran,
Cisco's greatest need is homes. The
people who were driven from the city
st the time of the disaster are eager to
return, several thousand laborers are
imperatively needed to aid in the woik
of rebuilding, but there are no bouses
for them The rehabilitation commit
tee has set to work to furniBh relief,
but the resources at its command will
admit of only slight assistance. This
committee will build some 3,000 homes
for workmen, but this will not even
serve to house the thousand still liv
ing in tents.
It is to individual initiative that tbe
city must look. Evidences that this
ill be forcthcoming are beginning to
appear.
In tbe Richmond district, the sec
tion Iocs ted between Golden Gate park
and the neck of the bay, several homes
are being erected and bave been rented
in advance.
Still it Is to the stretch of land south
of Market street that the people must
look for the rebuilding of homes in suf
ficient quantity to solve the problem.
Here dwelt the thousands of the city's
poorest anl i. is to this section that
tbey wish to return.

St. Petersburg, Juy 23. Although
the victory of tbe reactionists seems at
present to be complete, neither the So
