5P"WUMswipnAfc HARRIMAN IS DEAD Victor tn Financial Battles Loses to Grim Reaper. MIND REMAINED CLEAR TO LAST Secrecy Preserved Until Stock Mar ket Closed Time Misstated Whole Family Preient. Arden, Sept. 10. Edward H. Harri man, the greatest organizer of rail roads tho world has ever known, met tho only lasting defeat of Ills active lifo at tho hands of death. Secluded in his magnificent homo on Tower Hill, ho succumbed to an intestinal disorder yesterday after a fight against dlseaso that will rank for sheer grit with his remarkable struggles in the financial world. Tho exact time of his death is known only in that limited circle of relatives and associates who had shiolded Mr. Harriman from all outside annoyanco during his last Illness. The time was given out as 3:35 p. tn., but Mrs. Mary Slmonde, sister of the dead man, said last night that Mr. Harriman died at 1:30 p. m. Whether this apparent discrepancy has any bearing on the current belief that every effort was made to lessen the influence of the financier's death on the New York stock market is problematical. But it is significant that the time of his death, as officially announced, was just 35 minutes after trading had ceased on the New York exchange. Mr. Harriman died peacefully and to the end bis brilliant mind retained its clearness. After relapse on Sun day he sank slowly and soon after noon yesterday there camo a relapse that marked the approach of the end. His wife, two daughters and two sons, who have been constantly with him, assem bled at the bedside and a carriage was hastily dispatched for Mrs. Slmonds, whose homo is three miles from the Tower Hill borne. Mrs. Simonds en tered the great silent home in time to be present at her brother's death. She joined the wife and children, who, with Dr. W. G. Lyle, of New York, and Orlando Harriman, a brother, and the nurses, formed a group at the bed side. Mr. Harriman will be placed at rest in the family plot at the little graveyard behind St. John's Episcopal church at Arden. He will rest beside his eldest son, Edward H. Harriman, Jr., who died 22 years ago, soon after the family first came to Arden. The cervices will bo beld at 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and, it is under stood, will be strictly private. Edward Henry Harriman will go down in history as ono of the most spectacular financial geniuses, most daring stock speculators and greatest railroad magnates of bis time. He was born at Hempstead, L. I., Febru ary 25, 1848, the son of Rov. Orlando Harriman, Jr., rector of an Episcopal church in that town, founded in 1702. The early life of the future man of millions was one of great poverty. His father was a cultured but poor man, his mother came from an old aristo cratic, but equally impecunious family of New Brunswick, N. J. Edward H. Harriman received his early education at the district school and supplemented it by a two years' course in a boys' school under church auspices, where the sons of clergymen paid practically nothing for their edu cation. Edward Henry Harriman began his career as clerk in a broker's office on Wall street He showed no unusual ability and for many years gave no promiso of his later brilliant develop ment. Socially he was well liked and those who knew him at that time des cribed him as a sociable young man, always full of fun. Ho was noted, however, for a mind of his own. What he wanted he generally obtained, but his desires and ambitions were, at that time, at least, neither very sweeping nor particularly important. How he obtained his start and the funds which enabled him to buy a seat on the New York stock exchange, have never been clearly explained. The most widely accepted explanation, however was to the effect that during tho famous "gold corner" engineered by Gould, Fisk, Kimber and others, Edward II. Harriman plunged with all his own money and some borrowed from Squaw's Claims Settled. San Francisco, Sept 10. Heirs named in the will of John II. Hlte, a millionaire mining man of Mariposa, Cat., have effected a settlement with his Indian widow, it was announced to day, and within a week more than $0, 000,000 will be distributed. Hito was a pioneer in the California gold fields and married an Indian woman, from whom he afterward separated, making an alio wanes for her maintenance. She was not provided for in his will and the contest followed at his death. The cult was compromised zor iw,vuu, i his brother Orlnndo, and clonred enough to buy himself, in August, 1870, n sent on tho Now York stock exchange. loung Harriman married early In lifo and married very well. His wife was Miss Mnry Avcrell, of Rochester, N. Y., whoao father was a capitalist and a successful railroad man. For h number of years tho broker firm of E. II. Harriman & Co. did a thriving business on Wall street, spec ulating with lla own funds and execut ing commissions for tho Vandorbllta and othor wealthy capitalist clients. It was not until 1883 that E. II. Harri man came activoly into tho railroad field. At that time ho had becomo known as a capitalist, ono of tho fow who had gathered together great for tune in tho ten troublo years between 1870 and 18S0. Ho was credited with having in his strong box a fair list of stocks ho had picked up at extremely low prices during tho various panics. Along in 1S83 ho was elected a di rector of tho Illinois Central railroad. Whether Mr. Harriman entered tho railroad field in accordanco with an al ready matured plan of his or whether his accidental acquaintance with rail road matters suggested to him tho enormous possibilities of acquiring tho control of largo railroad systems, is not definitely known. At all events, Mr. Harrlman's.entry Into tho direct orate of the Illinois Central railroad marked tho beginning of his career as a manipulator of rallrorad stocks and reorganizer of raiload systems which, in the course of 10 or 15 years made him one of tho greatest railroad kings over known In tho united States and placed him in control of moro than 64, 000 miles of water transportation lines and of railroad lines of an estimaUd length of 27,000 miles. The railroads included in tho Harri man system were of sufficient mileage to reach more than two and one-half times around the globe. Thoy com prised the following: Union racific. Southern Pacific, Ore gon Short Line, Oregon Railroad & Navigation company, Illinois Central, Georgia Central, Baltlmoro & Ohio, Delaware & Hudson, Erie, New York Central, Pere Marquette, San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake, St Joseph & Grand Island, St Paul & Northwestern. Harriman was in addition the head of four steamship companies, ono of which operates steamers across the Pa cific He was also in the directorate of tho Wells Fargo Express company, tho Western Union Telegraph company, the Colorado Fuel & Iron, The Guaran tee Trust and the Equitable companies of New York, the National City bank, and 31 other corporations. GENERAL CORBIN DEAD. Noted Army Man Passes Away After Long Illness. New York, Sept 9. Lieutenant General Henry C. Corbindledin Roose velt hoapoital in this city yesterday after an operation for a renal disorder. General Corbin would have been 07 years old in a few days. Mrs. Corbin and ex-Governor Myron T. Herrick were at bis bedside when death occurr ed. He had been ill for two years. Acrnmnanfori hv Mm fVirhfn nnrl Mm daughter, Mrs. Parsons, of Ardsley, N. Y., he went to Carlsbad for trest ment on June 12 lost The waters there appeared to have improved his condition after two weeks' stay, and he returned to England, where bis former trouble recurred and he went to Paris to consult physicians. Tho troublo de veloped more seriously while in Paris, and he determined to return to Ameri ca. J. G. Schmidlapp, of Cincinnati, met him in Paris and with Mrs. Corbin they sailed for New York on the steam er Rotterdam, which arrived here Sun day. The general was taken to the Hotel Martinlquo In this city, and Dr. Frank Erdwurm was summoned. Tho physicians advised that General Corbin be removed to the Roosovelt hospital, and he was taken there on Monday. The operation was performed Tuesday morning by Dr. Lauceus Hotchkiss. Englishmen See the Joke. London, Sept 0. The morning pa pers apparently consider that tho Polar controversy has passed the stage where serious comment will prove any useful purpose. All statements from either side tending to throw light on the dis puted points are printed In full, but most of the papers either refrain from making editorial comment or confine themselves to a few semi-humorous re marks. The Daily News points out the complete unreliability of evidence from Eskimos, who are likely to say anything calculated to please. Otter Hunting Is Stopped. Victoria, B. C, Sept 10. Word has been received by tho Victoria Sealing company that the sealing achoonar Thomas F. Bayard, which has been in Behring sea hunting for sea otter, has been orderd from the bunting grounds by a United States revenue cutter. As hunting for sea otter is not prohibited, protest will be made to Ottawa with a view to having representations mado to Washington, Wellman Gives Up Dash. Christiana, Sept 0, A special dis patch from Tromsoe says that Walter Wellman has instructed his agent to arrange for the return of all theexplor- er's property from Virgo bay. I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST FARM SELLS FOR SIO0.QOO. Ashland Tract, Cultivated Since 1003, Brings Fancy Prlco. Ashland Ono of tho biggest real es tatu deals In the history of this section was tho Kalu of tho E. K. Anderson farm, fivo miles northeast of Ashland, ono of tho oldest and choicest farms In the Rogua river valley to G. A, Morso for $100,600. Mr. Morso Is re cently from Louisiana, and ho has ex tensive investments In this section. Tho farm disposed of consists of 306 acres, tho solo prico being $350 an aero. Of tho tract sold 43 acres aro in apple and peach trees from two to seven years old. Fifty acres aro in alfalfa, tho remainder being devoted to general farming. All of it Is cholco fruit land favorably located, and the entire tract, will eventually bo turned into fruit acreago. Mr. Anderson has farmed this par ticular tract of land slnco 1863, and upon it grew tho first wheat ever milled in this part of the state. Somo years ago ho purchased homo property In Ashland and has only lived on tho fnrm a portion of tho time, a son. G. N. Anderson, having chargo of tho dace. APPLES AT TOP PRICE. Hood River Unton Closes 8160,000 Deal With Eastern Buyers. Hood River Joseph Stoinhardt, of tho commission firm of Stelnhardt & Kelly, tho New York firm that bought tho output of the Hood River Applo growers' union last year, has set tho apple buying ball rolling by again pur hcaslng the entire crop handled by the union at a gross figure that will total over $160,000. According to Mr. Stelnhardt and the officers of the union, tho announcement of the site will cause a quick scramble for box fruit In othor Northwest sec tions, as they havo been waiting for the signal from Hood River in order to get a line on prices. Tho salo includes tho purchase of C0.G00 to 70.000 boxes of fancy fruit or about 125 cars, and It Is claimed that it will be the biggest deal made this year by ono firm. The fruit is to be especially packed for Stoinhardt and Kelly and will be labeled with a new label jut t adopted by the union and an effort will be mado to send one largo shipment in a solid train of refrigera tor cars to New York. Would Hurry Allotments. Klamath Falls Complaint is mado of unnecessary delay In allotments of mo Klamath Indian reservation, lne matter U in tho hands of Rev. II. F. White, who began the task two years ago. At that time It was announced that it would require not more than six months to do the work. When the Indians have received their lands there will be left over about 200,000 acres of fertile farming land, stock range and timbered tracts. If these lands are opened for settlement It will mean an enormous influx of people into the Klamath country and will greatly in crease the resources of this section. Milton Growers Ship Apples. Milton W. E. Gibson, of tho Slbson Fruit company, of Chicago, Is in Mil ton shipping about 100 carloads of prunes bought from tho Milton Fruit growers' union. The prlco bolng paid la $32 per ton. Last year tho crop was sold for $15 per ton. A large force of pa:kors has been employed in the sheds for two weeks and a larger force of piekors has been engaged in gathering the fruit The orchards owned by C. L. Stewart, C. W. Ray and John M. Brown, near Crockett ore good illustrations of the prune Indus try here. Drill for Oil Near Roseburg. Roseburg The Dlllard Development company has received a drilling outfit to be used In drilling for oil near Look ing Glass, about 12 miles west of this city. Indications of oil have been known in this vicinity for a long time. Although tho machine is capable of going down 2,000 feet, it is expected oil will be reached at less than that depth. Crop Prospects Good, Klamath Falls Rocont rain through out the entire Klamath country huvo put the fall range In good condition and stock is doing well, Tho moisture did some damago to the hay crop on tho ground, but the loss Is slight Grain was not Injured, but harvesting will be a few days lato on account of tho rains. Tho grain yield will bo ex ceptionally good. Cold Beach Mines Active, Gold Beach Considerable activity is being manifested here in the copper mines. An English syndicate has re cently purchased the Shasta Costa properties, paying $12,000 for them. Tho syndicate has also bonded the Deans - Crook holdings for 120.000. The hills are alive with prospectors. STARTS PHEASANT INDUSTRY. Lebanon Fancier Succeeds In an Un usual Undertaking. Lebanon R, F. Simpson, residing here, is preparing to ship a carload of rlngnock pheasants to tho gamo war den of Idaho, tho birds to bo used for breeding purposes. Simpson Is said to bo tho only man in America who could fill such n largo order for tho much prized gnmo bird. Mr, Ulmson embarked In this In-, dustry last year. A Person unac quainted with tho Incroaao of thl feathered family would say that ho had mot with fairly good success for an amateur, but tho gentleman declares ho has learned somo tricks which will materially aid him in tho future. To commence with, Mr. Simpson had 212 hvnu and fivo roosters. At this tlmo ho has over 200 young ones, rang ing In slzo from threo days old to half grown birds of this season's rearing, and tho hens aro still laying. White bantnn hens aro used for hatch ing purposes, they having been found to be moro caroful and painstaking with tho young than tho other of tho feathered tribe by Mr. Simpson. Experlcnco has taught that bens of larger breed are apt to becomo restless and move about on the nest moro than the bantam, thus causing tho death of many of the young Immediately after leaving the shell. Mr. Simpson Is raising two kinds of pheasants the rlngneck and tho gold en, tho latter being from tho northern part of China. Prune Packers at Work. Eugene- Tho Eugeno Fruit Growers' association has begun packing fresh prunes for shipment. The association expects to ship a carload of prunes to tho East every other day for two weeks or moro. Contractu havo boon made for over six carloads. Tho crop In tho vicinity f Eugene this year, while light, Is of excellent quality and will bring the highest prlco In tho Eastern markets. Besides the prunes to be shipped by the Fruit Growora' associa tion, there will be several carloads sent out by the Allen Fruit company, which operates an evaporator and can nery here. Planing Mill for Pendlaton. Pendleton Pendleton Is to havo a now industry in tho shspe of a planing mill. Ucn Hill, manager of tho 'Pen- dleten Lumber company, has made an nouncement to that effect The com pany will put about $20,000 In equip ment and expects to Install tho plant aa soon as a suitablo location can be found.

Census Director Dursml's Appeal for Accurate Farm Data, Washington, Sept 11.- It will bo suggested by U. H. Census Director Durand to tho farmers all over tho country that tho work of securing ac curate returns at the coming census of agriculture will ho greatly facilitated If tho farmers will keep or provide somo sort of written record of their farm operations during the year. 1009. This effort to secure the fnrmers' er sonal co-operation Is hut one of a num ber of ways and moan chosen by Di rector Durand In the effort tn secure an accurate, expeditious and econom ical census concerning Hulatlun, agri culture, manufactures, mines and quar ries, which aro tho subjects of inquiry do lined In tho census law, Notwithstanding tho value of tho population returrns for tho (xillticnl purpose of reapportioning representa tion In tho congress of the United States and of tho statistical Informa tion derived from an nnalysis of tho imputation details, the census of agri culture, of all thu subject In tho cen sus law, Is regarded a of tho greatest iniortnnre. In 1900 tho census found 5,739,067 farms, an Increase of 1,176,010 uver the total fur 1890, Tho 18U0 figure were 665,734 higher than tho number of farms counted In tho 18H0 census. Taking tho Increato between 1890 and 1900 and adding that number to the total reported for 1900, an estimated or approximate number of farm exist ing at tho time of the thirteenth cen sus may be.ascortalned; tho process of calculation being that called "arith metical progression," tho mothod chos en by the majority of statisticians and also used by the census bureau. There foro the 1910 total should reach 6,914,07.1, or roughly, about 0,000,000 farms, which is the number estimated by Chief Statistician Power. Thorn were 10,433,188 males and females over 10 yeara of ago June 1, 1900, en gsgod In agricultural pursuits. Prof, Powers bellovea tho 1910 census will swell that numbor to tho extent of aov eral millions. In order that the farmer may'bcgln at once, Director Durand Indicates as follows, what ocratlons aro, to be re corded, although the schedule Is still In Incomplete shapo; "Each person In chargo of a farm will be asked to state the acreage and value of his farm; that Is, tho acreage and value of the land kept and culti vated by him; also the area of land In his farm covered with woodland; and finally, that which Is utilized. for s Mic I fled farm purpORoa. "bach farmer will bo asked to give tho acreage, quantity produced and value of each crop, Including grains, hay, vegetables, fruits, cotton, tobac co, etc., raised on tho farm in the sea son of 1J09, "Each farmer will bo asked to re port the number and value of all do mestic animals, iwultry, and swarms of bees on the farm April 15, 1910; also tho number and value of young animals, such aa calves, colts, lambs, pigs; and of young fowls, such as chicken, turkey, duck, etc., raised on tho farm In 1909. Ho will bo fur ther asked to slate the number and kind of animals sold during 1909 and tho re ceipts for such sales, tho number pur chased and tho amount paid thorefor; and also tho number slaughtered for food and the value of such animals. "Tho law requires a report of tho number of cows kept for dairy purposes in 1909, and tho total estimated amount of milk produced on the farm; also tho amount of butter and cheese sold and the amount received from such sale. The censua will seek to ascer tain tho quantity and value of all eggs, honey and wax produced on tho farm In 1009. "Of tho expenditure of tho farm, tho census schedule will call for n state ment of tho amount paid farm labor; tho amount paid for feed for live stock; and tho amount expended for fertiliz ers In 1910. Tho information roportcd on tho ag ricultural schedule will not bo used ns n basis of taxation or communicated to any assessor. Dlroctor Durand wants tho farmers to keep books this year so that guess work and recollection will bo elimin ated as far aa possible. Carried 820,000 Supplies. Gloucester, Mass., Sept. 11.
