It In
Washington, Doc. 26. Harmony
within the United States navy outran
cracy seems to bo In lor a severe Jolt.
Open war already haa been declared
between the bareaa of navigation and
tho bareaa ot medicine and surgery,
the initial result of which haa been the
resignation ofRcar Admiral Rrownson
from hia position as chiel ol the former
bareaa, and, coming jutt at a time
when severe criticism is being aimed at
the administration of the Navy depart
Hunt, thechargee Involving the bureau
system in particular, the ruction may
culminate in tome radical change.
Butgeon General Rizey, whose re
commendation in faor ot putting a
medical officer in absolute command ot
a hospital ship km approved by Pre)
dent Koosevelt against the vlow ot Ad
mlral Brownson, throw down the
gauntlet tc the bureau ot navigation in
a formal statement Issued last night.
The curgeon general charge that the
bureau of navigation haa interfered in
an unwarranted manner with the bu
reau ot medicine and surgery, and to
the extent ot crippling its ruefulness.
Comparatively trivial event some
tine lead to tweeping reform, and, if
there be defect in management. In
naval construction and in methods of
administration, the Booeevelt-Browu-eon-Rlxry
imbroglio is likely to be the
mean; ot bringing matter to a focus
and Yauslng remedies to be applied
where needed.
It should not bo forgotten that the
president is as staunch a friend of the
nary as the navy has, in considering
the present controversy, which so ma
terially involve himself. Popular sen
timent naturally would incline the in
expert observer to side with the line
officers in the conflict with the staff,
because tbe line is the fighting conting
ent from which heroes most frequently
are developed in days ot war. In aid
ing against tbe line officers in the pres
ent case, the president may or may not
be aiming his spear at tho bureau sys
tem, lie Has taken a ground be tninks
is for the best interests of the service.
FLOUR OUTPUT SMALLER.

Overworked Clerks.
San Francisco, Dec. 25. Elated at
tho cnlm course ot business which
marked tho discontinuance ol tho holi
days, the local bankers opened their
hearts and putses and their cletks and

the recent trying days.
The Crocker National bank led ol
yesterday rooming, when a yellow en
velop was placed oh the desk ot every
employe. It contained an amount
equivalent to one month's salary. The
amount thus distributed exceeded f 10,
000. The Crocker interests are very
Urge and they rewarded in a similar
fashion their employes In other lines.
Other bants have generously tictkted
their men. Some added turkeys to the
presents of gold. Others added boxes
ot fruit.
The Merchants Exchange gave every
one of Its employes a big, fat turkey.
It employes 100 people. One mercan
tile firm provided every one ot its em

Minneapolis Statistics Show Effect of
Financial Stringency.
Minneapolis, Due. 2C Floor ship
ments from Minneapolis for 1007 will
fall short of the total shipped during
1906 by nearly a million barrels. This
decrease has been apparently due to the
financial flurry, as the figures for each
month show that only in three months
ot the entire year have the shipments
for 1007 exceeded thee for the same
month in 1006.
The number of barrel of flour sent
out from Minneapolis by tbe various
mills so far this year has been 13,625,
375, while for the corresponding period
In 1006 there were 14 673.113 barrels
shipped, a deficit of 747,7b8 barrels
De-spile the recent financial stringen
cy, the sites of flour for use in the coun
try or lor export did not suffer so much
as was generally expected. The ship
ments ror iKioDer wis year were 1,440,
802 barrels, against 1,503,007 last year.
In November of this year the greatest
falling off is shown with shipments of
1,067,070 barrels, against 1,318,618 a
year ago. For tbe trading days in De
cember upjto tbe present, 670,271 bar
rels have been sent out a against 070,

Ooldfield, Nev., Dec 25. "It is pos
sible that the governor will call a spe

Captain Cox, "it by so doing any lm
mediate rrslulta which will better the
situation ran be obtained."
The rumor has been current here
that a company of rangers is contem
plated, and, as this could not be done
without action by tbe legislature, the
statement of Captain Cox is tsken to
mean that, inch a plan is decided upon,
the legislatuie will be convened.
A suit against the Western Federa

Klamath Fath Fiank Ira White, ot
the Kntetprlso Land A Investment com

department ot agriculture telatho to
Mmples of sugsr beets raised on the
Enterprise tract. Tho beets were taken
from the same tract as were those sent
to Professor Knisely some time ago,
but koto fully maturrd, while tho
others were not. Professor KnUely's
test showed fiom 17 40 to 10.35 per
cent put eugst, while the department
test is ono or two per cent higher, with
a vury high degree of purity.
These beets produced 8,286 pounds
to the quarter-acre tract, or nearly 17
tons to the acre.
The department ol agriculture In a
letter to Mr. White says Klamath
county's sugar beets are ol the most ex
cellent quality aud that pro poets ate

tween 60 and 70 per cent ot the men in
the university this yeat ato either
wholly or pattlally making their own
war through college The grrater part
ot the earning is done, of course, during
the summer. The canvas shows that,
since the vacation is comparatively
short, the men got cmploymett In tbe
harvest fields, mills, mines and tabor
ot various kinds paying good wages. It
shows also that the engineering stu
dents find no trouble in getting work
in their Hue. The engineering depart
ment has a large number ot
in the employ ol the Southern Pacific,
O. IL A N., Northern Pacific and the
government reclamation service, and
the majority of theengineerlngstudents
are engaged before the session closve In
June. A number of students are part
ly earning their own way during the
session. The university maintains an
employment bureau under the direction
of the registrar, but it has not been able
this fall to supply all calls made on it
for students to work.
INCREASE IN TILLAULE ACHES
Umatilla County Shows Ola; Oaln In
Five Yeara.
Pendleton Umatilla county's rapid
development Is shown In the uvent
summary of the. taxable property In tho
county, recently furnished tho secre
tary ol stato by Assessor Strain. This
summary, compared with I ho one mado
five years ago, shows tho nutuWr ol
tillable acres as Inoteased by 00,000.
The total number ol acre ol arable
land in tho county at present la 46.000.
The nnuibvr of acres classified as non
tillable Is given at 883,144.
The rJgurv for the Utter do not, ol
course, Includo the forest reeervc and
other government land not subject to
taxation. The amount ol non-tillable
land In the county Is constantly In
creasing, also, by reason ol the tact
that so much government land la being
taken up and deeded to settlers.
Tbe increase In the number ot lilt
able acres is due In Isigo measure to
the different irrigation projects which
are being completed. This Is not the
only source ol Increase, however, as
thousands ol acres ot land In tho west
ern and touthwvttem raits ol the
county are now plowed up and growing
wnra. uiai a lew years ago were consid
ered worthies for anything urate val
uable than range tor slock. Much of it
was given over entirely to sagebrush
and Jackrabblu. The Pilot I took and
lllrvh creek countries have experienced
the greatest development In this line.
Each Farm to Da Named.
Grants Pass Among the business
transacted at the Jcwcphlne County
Frnltitrowcra' unicn at its hut mrttlm
graduates was the adopting of Individual letter-
heads and letter paper, upon which
will be designated the name ot the fruit
farm and tho brands rckcd by the
grower. It was thought best for each
member to have some appropriate
name for his fruit trsct, and by Insert
ing it upon letter sheets It would also
give prominence to individual effect,
and at the same time give the union
grrater notice and strength, which
would mote favorably attract the buyer
to wis locality.
Bittleihlps Complete First Stage of
Long Voysga.
New York, Dec. 25. Special dis
patches from Port of Spain, island ot
Trinidad, announce the arrival there of
the Atlantic fleet on its way to the Pa
cific. The fleet is said to have passed
into tbe Gulf of Para and anchored
there in four columns fire miles oil the
town.
Ascordiog to the dispatches, the onlr
mishap on tbe trip from Hampton
Roads to Port of 6pam was a temporary
derangement ol the Kentucky's steering
gear. Tbey alto say that the entire
fleet (topped ensines for nine minntes
Sunday and half matted flags while Or
dinary Seaman G. E. Piper, who died
ot meningitis aboard the Alabama, was
buried.
Tbe harbor of Port of Spain, while
well protected, is shallow for a long
distance out from the beach and ves
sels of great draft like the battleship
anchor a long way cut. The flet will
remain in the harbor for several days
and will coal there. Supplies will also
be tsken on board of tho supply ship
Colgoa and tbe refrigerator ship G Iscier.
Wheat Trad Stagnant.
Pendleton Business Is dull In tbe
local wheat market, the price being
down, and tho farmers are unwilling
to part with the holding at a figure
that is 10 cents lower than what they
could have secured early In the fall.
until recently tne local quotation on
stub has been 07c, but another diop of
a cent has occurred. However, wheat
is said to be worth 08c In Pendleton,
and at least one buyer Is offering that
figure. Others declare tbey are out of
tne market for tbe time being.

Hood River Completo returns from
Hood River's 1007 apple crop show

proximately what the Hood River crop
brought last year when It was In tbe
neighborhood ot 20,000 boxes more.
and Is accounted for ty the fact Hut
tbe apples biought a much larger aver
age price, mo entire crop u now
placed at 110,000 boxes.
