The seventh (round of the Willard-Moran battle in Madison Square Garden March 25 Was fast, but not half as fast as the fight talk the fans arc now indulging in today. Buzz, buzz, buzz, Willard this. Willard that, Moran this, Moran that, goes the gossip where the ringside fantails and the rafter railbirds fore gather. The bout busted the gossip vide open. Some think it was a great fight, some think it was rotten: some Sire for ten round chainpionsmp bouts ever week, others thing they should be abolished altogether. "As a result of the brutal, degrad ing exhibition of the brute in man at ;hc Willard-Moran -1"ii;ht." boxing should forever be abolished in Xew York, says one clan. "The bout showed conclusively that the city wants boxing and wants it bad. To give the people 'what they pav for the state should at once per mit twenty-round bouts with deci sions." is the conclusion of another. In between is a host, and each host has an idea of his own. MANY PEOPLE MOVING. The War Has Upset Things in Lon j don, Causing a Great Mov- ing Commotion. I London. April 7. More moving is being doi e in England today than ever ! before in the country's history. The movers are the families of married men who expect to leave shortly for one of the war fronts. This is the end of the "quarter" and as few middle class Englishmen can keep up their homes in their absence, they are breaking them up. Furniture movers arc hopelessly ( swaivpcd. Not only has the unpre cedented amount of business over vhc'iincd them, but like everybody else-they have already given most of !tl,.V nl1(.bn,llpfl limn to the Colors. 'The elderly, extremely youthful or j weakly laborers they arc compelled to '. rely on are unable to handle the work I i expeditiously. .Prices have jumped corresponding ly. .

She was born in Illinois and came with her folks, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Cowan, to Albany, when seven years of age, spelling her younger days here, where she was married to Mr. Conn, a native of this city. They mov ed to Portland over 25 years ago. She was a member of the Christian church, a woman of pleasing personal ity, beloved in her home and by a large circle of friends. She leaves a husband and daughter, Mrs. Pearl McFarling, of Portland. Her mother, Mrs. S. J. Cowan, and brother, J. E. Cowan, reside at this city. Mrs. Cow an went to Portland yesterday and J. E.

FRDIT JUICE MEN TAKE A 600D LOOK AT ALBANY Their Decision Not Made Yet As to Where Fruit Juice Plant Will Be Located. George G. Brown and W. S. Hid den, of the Brownada Fruit Juice Co. of Portland, returned home last ev ening after a thorough investigation of the prospects for establishing fruit juice factory in this city. They held a conference with Manager Ira F. Hutchings, . of the Linn-Benton Growers' Associatioin and agreed up on ceruin concessions in case they decided to locate here. In the after noon they were taken over the coun: try by"W? AT'EastburnT6f the'Cdta mercial club and shown the immediate prospects for business in this section. It is estimated that at present about 200 acres of loganberries could be contracted for this year. The company wants all that it can get. Prpspects for the future call for an immense acreage of this berry alone. No information could be obtained from Messrs. Brown and Hidden. They would make no statements re irardimr their conclusions. In fact thev had Dromised to visit Wood- burn and McMinnvillc, and nothing will be done until after those towns are seen. This industry means much to this city if it can be secured and local officials arc doing all in their power to bring the deal to pass. COAST TO HAVE AIR FLEETS Fifty Aeroplanes to Patrol the Coast About One Every Fifty Miles. Washington. April 7. It was learn ed today that a fleet of fitty aero planes to patrol the Pacific and At lantic coast as auxiliaries to the U S. Coast Guard cutters, is the prop ositioni set forth in a bill to be in traduced during the present session of congress. The bill will ask for an appropriation of $500,000 for the pur chase and maintenance of the fleet. There arc 5000 miles of coast in the U. S. and it is proposed to have an aeroplane every 100 miles. Lookouts in aeroplanes would be able to sight ships in distress much more readily tl an the lookouts on board coast guard cutters; and since the air machine can attain a greater speed than the cutters, aid conld be dispatched to distressed vessels more quickly. It is maintained that these coast guard aeroplanes would be a valuable addition to the military forc es in time of war. The possibilities of this fleet are great, hquippeu witn searcungnis ui night they might prove far more than light ships, and it i sheld that an ae roplane would be of great service to coast guards in carrying breeches buoy lines to ships ashore, when the surf is running too high for the i'-iunching of a life boat.

SHIPMENTS AMOUNT TO $100 A DAY Four Travellers Now Covering the Coast Selling to Trade Albany Product. Without any blow or bluster there has been gradually developing in Al bany a factory that is reaching big di mensions, probably the largest of its kind ou the coast, one for the manu facture of ladders. The proprietors are the Far West Manufacturing Co., composed of Amandus Butcher, H. P. and D. C. White. The factory is at the foot of Ferry street, in short the Cameron Planing Mill, which at the present time, though the mill has been nearly all turned over to the business, is unable to meet the demand for lad ders. At this time $100 worth sre be ing shipped daily, fifty or sixty lad ders, to all parts of the coast, which is being covered. The company has four men in the field, covering California, Oregon and Western Washington, and adjoining states parti: lly, and cnother agency is to be opened at Spokane for Eastern Oregon, Idaho and Montana. In a quiet way the company has been reaching out for business until a big industry has resulted. The present ca pacity is to be doubled in a short time, and probably more than that. The company has three parents, which' arcv attracting attention, so,,- much so that there is rn offer of $20,- 000 for the patents. One is the com mon stepladder with special features. The great seller is a nest ledder ex tending to nine feet, and a smalled one to six feet, solid and absolutely safe at the top, another is an adjustable ladder for farmers and painters, that is a gem, being changeable from a step ladder to a single ladder 12 to 20 feet long. The price of the step ladders depends upon the length, with a basis of 25 cents a foot. Permanent sellers, it means that Al bany has, a factory that is bound to be a factor in the industrial progress of the city, one of the things our peo ple are demanding, and should appre ciate when gotten.. The company also makes ironinp boards with demand for the goods. Starting on almost nothing the showing is one that deserves commen dation. Wheat Crop- Washington, April 7. A reduction of 24 per cent of the price of winter wheat compared with a year ago is indicated by the department of agri culture's report. The average condi tion of the winter wheat in Oregon Saturday was 95; Washington, 85, and Idaho 94. A small production, 495,- ;)00,000 hushels is forecasted. Far , western sections showed the best re sults. FORMER BODY-GUARD OF CZAR NICHOLAS TALKS On Saturday evening at the First Methodist church. Lieutenant Swartz kopensky, formerly officer and body guard of the Czar of Russia, will tell ' of his exile to Siberia and his escape after one year spent in a dungeon. The lieutenant comes under the aiispices of the Y. M. C. A., is an in teresting character and has a thrilling story to tell. There is a large educational value in his lecture as he will graphically tell the actual conditions in the Czar's great empire. Merely from the his torical and geographical standpoint anyone is well repaid in hearing him. With this he mingles his own unique experience which gives point to the situation. .- : He brings a message of humanity, which is instructive without the ob jectionable features of bitterness. A nominal charge of admission will be taken at the door.
