New York, May 18. Tlio beginning
of a new era in the safeguarding of tho
country's vast industrial army will bo
witnessed nt tho 15th nmninl conven
tion of tho National Association of
Manufacturers, now In session.
Tho absolutely vital necessity of pro
vcnttiur nccidonta In Industrial estab
lishments haa forcibly been brought
homo to tho 8,000 manufacturers form
ing tho association by the fact that
GOO, 000 persons suffer from accidents
each year In tho United States. Two
hundred and fifty million dollars Is tho
estimated economic loss annually, In
this country, duo to accidents. At
least half tho accidents aro considered
preventable.
A comprehensive report of a com

tional association, will be made, and
tho convention will bo addressed by
Professor Frederick Rcmscn Hutten,
of tho American Museum of Safety;
Miles M. Dawson, who has studied ac
cident prevention abroad for tho Rua
sell Sago Foundation, and by other
eminent speakers.
President Klrby said on the subject:
"Tho question of appliances for pre
venting accidents to workmen, and nccl
dent indemnity, aro at present rccolv
Imr more attention than any other is
sues which attract public interest in
the field of Industry. They aro live
questions of vital importance to mem
bers from an economic as well as hu
manitarian standpoint. ,
"In preparing Its report, tho com
mittee has communicated with 25,000
employers in all parts of tho United
States, as well as 250 national, state
and local organisations of employers.
Every state legislator of every state in
the Union was. also written to. Spe
cial correspondence was carried on
with American and European experts.

the various communications have been
received. There were only three pro
testing, even in .a mild manner,
against taking up the questions of em
ployers' liability and workmon'a in
demnity. IC was disclosed that 99 per
cent of the membership of the associa
tion favors a constructive, progressive
policy of dealing with this difficult
question."
SEVEN BOILERS tkOW UP.
Instant Death to 13 Men and Injuries
to Thirty More.
Canton, Ohio, May 18. Quick death
to 13 men, serious Injury to 30 other
employes of the plant, and damage to
the buildings amounting to many thou
sands of dollars theoe are the results
of the explosion of a battery of seven
boilers this afternoon at tho American
Sheet & Tin Plate company. Among
the injured aro half a dozen who prob
ably will die before morning.
Tho force of the explosion was ter
rific. The big plant is practically a
total loss. A more shell of the build
ing is left.
Identification of the men was diffi
cult. Arms were blown from bodies,
and fragments of the bodies were
blown blocks away. Rita of human
flesh have been picked up on porches
and roofs of houses and in trees.
One hundred men were at work in
the plant at the time of the accident.
Only a dozen or so escaped some in
jury, and these worked heroically to
rescue their fellow workmen from the
burning ruins.
The body of one man was blown
through a house 700 feet from the
plant. The body entered tho house
from the east side and continued In a
straight lino through a bedroom and
out the west side.
.Tho torso of another man was found
In a garden COO feet away. One in
jured man begged to be killed. He
had an arm torn off and a great hole
gaped In his side.
The plant had five mills. All tho
employes working at mills 1, 2, 3 and
4 were either killed or injured, while
the men In mill No. 5, farthest from
the boilers, escaped serious injury.

Washington, Msy 18. Tho United
States leads the world 'In the total dis
placement of completed warships, villi
the single exception of Great Britain,
but is behind five other countries In
the number of such vessels. Reckon
ing the war vessels built and building,
America and Germany are running on
equal terms, but the former Is leading
In displacement when the ships provid
ed for in the pending naval appropria
tion bills are added to the calculation.
Great Britain, tho United States and
Germany remain the leading powers.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
BERRIES NEED PIOKINQ.
Crop Abundant and Prices Qood, but
Indians Have Failed,
Hood Rlvor Tho borry sonson hu
commenced In earnest with n shipment
of 160 crates. It Is now expected that
tho shipments will doublo rapidly and
that by tho first of tho week tho season
will bo on In full force. Pries for
berries nra good, but pickers scarce.
It Is believed that growers aro up
against the moat serious shortage of
labor this year ever known, and that
unless It is obtained quickly consider
able loss will bo sustained. Tho largo
number of Indians who unaually come
Into tho valley, It Is said by Joseph
Tnvhl. tho Indian foreman who haa for
several years supplied hundreds of his
fellow tribesmen and their squaws,
will not bo horo this year, as they havo
found employment looking after their
nlnccs on tho reservation. This has
thrown a big scare Into tho growers,
who aro making every effort to secure
pickers from Portland, tho Wtllamotto
valley and Eastern Oregon.
Tho highest prices over paid for
picking berries prevail, but It la feared
that not half enough will como Into
the valley to gather tho crop. Many
of tho school children are being naked
to help out tho ranchers as soon as
school closes. May 20. and everyone
who can bo spared will take a hand at
berry picking . A number of orchard
owners who aro living in town and hav
ing their places looked after by hired
help announce that they will givo their
friends a lift, but it Is estimated that
tho valley must secure 2,000 outsiders
to get tho crop to market.
ORANGE TO FIQHT ASSEMBLY.
Ringing Resolutions Pasted In
Clos
Ing Hours of Meeting.
Oregon City Tho Oregon State
Grange went on record as opposed to
tho assembly. A ringing resolution
was adoped practically unanimously,
condemning tho effort to remove pollt
leal power from the people, and sup
porting tho Idea of government by the
people directly. Without discussion
the resolution was passed, it having
been considered by tho committee and
reported for adoption.
Two problems of overwhelming Im
portance were before tho grange good
roads and the advancement of govern
ment by the people. On the good
roads proposition the grange took an
advanced position, recommending that
the legislature aboiisn an restrictions
against Indebtedness as to such im
provements, leaving the people as tho
sole judges of the work to be dono and
the manner of payment for It.
Tho grange was opposed to the re
turn of the assembly, and at no time
was there In evidence any indication of
defeat of tho resolution condemning It.
Tho work of tho grange occupied a
great deal of tlmo and the Important
resolutions wcru left until tho last day.
After making every effort to clear the
secretary's desk of accumulated buel
ncss and laboring until after the time
set for adjournment, a number of Im
portant resolutions wero still on the
table. A resolution was passed laying
on the table for lack of time the pro
posed tax amendment, with others.
leaving the matters to the action of
tho people at tho polls.
Thoroughbred Stock for Wheeler.
Fossil W. J. Edwards has added to
the thoroughbred stock on his farm the

WAITS ON PUMPING PLANT.
Tests of Oil Wells In Vnlo District
Will Bo Mads at an Early Date
Drillers In tho Eastern Oregon woll
In tho Vnle oil Holds qavo consed oper
ations, as they nro convinced that thoy
have a flow of oil In commercial quan
tities. One great difficulty In this, na
In all other wells In tho Vnlo district,
Is to control t,ho flow of water. Tim
woll has been cosed, and as soon as tho
rcqulslto pumping outfit can bo In
stalled, It la to bo emptied of water,
that tho drillers may bo nblo to deter
mine tho flow of oil,
T. W. Davidson, of Vnle, ono of tho
heaviest owners In tho Eastern Oregon
company, has purchased a pumping
plant which will bo used In drawing
off tho wnter from tho woll.
"On account of the fine flow of oil In
tho Eastern Oregon, wo havo dcclcd to
go no deeper for the present," said
Mr. Davidson, "but will Install a
pumping plant anud draw off tho wa
ter. Then wo can monsuru tho oxact
flow of oil In tho well. That wo havo
oil In a number of tho Vnlo wells thero
Is no doubt, and ovory Indication points
to a commercial flow in aovoral of tho
deeper wells In that dlstrlcL"
Roadway to Josephine's Caves.
Grants Pass To mako more pleas
ant tho trip to tho caves this summer
tho great limestone labyrinths of Gray
buck mountain, known as Oregon's
Marblo Halls, will bo put In shape to
rccelvo visitors at an early date.
These caves aro said to bo tho largest
marblo halls In tho world, and every
year aro .visited by tourists from all
sections of the United States. Form
erly tho caves were controlled by pri
vate Individuals, but aro now within
the confines of tho Siskiyou forest re
serve, and much tho snmo as a national
park, Thoy will be protected and
cared for by rangers of the forsot serv
ice, In fact, ono of tho main camps of
fho rangers Is near the entrance to the
abyrlntha.
Thousands of people would visit tho
caves but for tho hard Journey. Lo
cated 55 miles aouth of Grants Pass
and with the last 22 miles of tho dis
tance covered only by a narrow, rough
and tortuous mountain trail, tho trip
to the marblo halls is anything but
pleasant, and can only bo made by tho
aid of pack animals. The government,
through Its appropriations for such
purposes, will construct a road to tho
caves from the msln highway at Wil
liams valley, and will provide suitable
shelter at the caves.

FLOOD TO CANADA WORRIES.
No Way to Check Imtgratlon From
United Stales to North.
Wsshlngon, Msy 10. -Washington
officials of tho departments of agricul
ture and commerce and labor have a
sharp sense of tho need of something,
no ono knows Just what, to stop the
flood of emigration that Is flowing on
Its way from the Weatrm United
States Into Canada. The administra
tion proposes to talo tho matter up
seriously.
It Is probably only a coincidence
that the high tide In emigration to
Canada haa occurred at a time when
this country is engaged In trying to
settlo tho the problem of proper way
to conserve tho natural resources of the
country. The sharp fact Is that Can
ada Is receiving thousands of Ameri
cana every year, men who havo made
good citizens at homo and who will
make good citizens of tho country to
tho north of us.
We aro getting Immigrants enough
to offset tho loss, but tho class of In
comers Is so Inferior to tho class of
outgoers thst tho United States gains
nothing from tho fact that thd former
outnumber tho latter.
