NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
ENORMOUS LOSS IN COAL.
Trade Loses $1,500,000 Weekly by
Cotton Lockout.
London, Oct. 20.-The shutting
down of 600 mills as the result ouf the
cotton trade lock out has reduced the
consumption of engine coal by 700,000
tons per week. Calculated at f 2 pe
ton. this represents a loss of trade
amounting to $1,500,000 a week.
Oldham, the center of the spinning
industry, is. the first of the cotton
towns to feel the pinch of the lockout
Of the mills in the town only 20
are now working. It is not the opera
tives who have their lock out pay from
their unions to fall back on who are
beginning to feel the pressure of th
industrial warfare, but the shopkeep
ers. particularly at the small shops
who depended on the custom of the
mill eirls.
No one has the heart to buy anything
Rhort of actual necessities. No new
dresses are being made in Oldham jus
now. and dressmakers are rcuucing u.
number of their workroom hands, and
the milliners' shops, of which the fe
mala cotton operative was the generous
patron, are deserted.
The situation was discussed at
meeting of the distress committee last
nizht and the mayor has summoned
special meeting of the council for to
night, when a deputation irom ineais
tress committee will make suggestions
for providing relief work.
GAMBLERS WIN.
SOLDIERS ARE ATTACKED.
SCAB NOT FUNGUS GROWTH.
Agricultural College Profetsor Gives
Opirion on Prunes.
Salem - That scab on prunes, w hich
is very prevalent this year, is not a
fungus disease, but is caused by ad
verse weather conditions, is the opin
ion given by Professor Cordley, of the
Oregon Agricultural college, in answer
to an inquiry from James instanley,
this city. It follows, therefore,
that scab cannot be prevented by
spraying. 1 rolessor coruiey s letter
follows :
Careful examination of the accom
panying prunes shows mat me scao
upon them is not a fungus disease. In
other words, it is not the true prune or
plum scab. 1 have observed this trou
ble to a greater or less extent in other
seasons, and have never been able to
find any fungus or bacterial organism
in connection with it. From what data
have been able to cc 11 -ct regarding
the prevalence of this trouble and
associating it with the various seasons,
I have arrived at the conclusion that
it is cau-ed almost exclusively ly
freezing or cold weather, at least at
the time of blossoming or shortly af
terwards. In other words, the trouble
seems to be most prevalent in seasons
following freezing weather at blossom
ing time. A. 15. CORDLEY."
Build Sample Good Road
Hood River To build a sample sec
tion of good road at Hood Kiver a sub
scription is being taken and is meeting
with popular approval. 1 he road will
built from the city out the west
side of the valley for four miles, and
it is expected to commence work on it
shortly. The worst piece of highway
at Hood Kiver has been selected for
the experiment, and its construction is
expected to stimulate the good roads
movement here and serve as a starter
for other sections of the valley.

that they could not secure suitable
