Washington, Nov. 11.—When Amer ican war vessels were recently order ed to Isthmian waters to protect American and other interests in Pan ama. specific instructions were given, by direction of the presideut. that the American naval fo-ce should main tain peace aud prevent bloodshed on the Isthmus. These instructions were issued in their broad sense, for it was the original, and is the present, in tention of this government to pre vent any conflict between the govern ment of Colombia and the newly es tablished republic of Panama. The administration, in carrying out this policy, will prevent the landing at Colon, as well as at Panama of any Colombian troops that may be sent by thb latter government to subdue the Panama republic. Having once recog nized the new republic before the world, the United States intends to stand by and prevent encroachments by Colombia as well as by other na tions. Assistant Secretary of State Loom is, Secretary Moody and Admiral Taylor, after a conference this even iDg, sent instructions to the com manders of American ships in Pana ma waters directing them in the event the Colombian government attempted to embark troops at any of its ports with a view to making an attack upon the New Panama republic, that the American forces should prevent such embarkation. Secretaries Root and Hay had a conference today, presumably in re gard to the , latest developments in the isthmian affair. As he was re turning to his home Secretary Root was asked the direct question as to whether United States troops would be ordered to the Isthmus of Panama. He replied that while such a thing was possible, it was extremely im probable. He added he had made that answer to a similar question in New York when he really knew very little about the situation, and he made it now for the reason that he knew nothing more of an intention to em ploy troops on the isthmus.

Q m Lr 47 I HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON HOLD ON TO YOUR PRUNES. WILL MANUFACTURE STAVES. Advice Given to Growers by ex-Commls- sloner Reynolds. Salem—“Prunegrowers who have not already sold their fruit should hold it for a price that will give them a fair profit,” says Lloyd T. Reynolds, for merly horticultural commissioner for the second district. “Dealers are around offering to pay a basis price of 1% cents. Probably a majority of the prune crop this year will average in the 50-60 to-the-pound size, and at this basis growers would get only 3 cents a pound for their fruit. Since the cost of labor and fuel has advanced, 3 cents a pound is about the actual cost of production. Growers are cutting their own throats when they sell at such figures. “The condition of the fruit market does not warrant such low prices. France had a very short crop and is buying prunes heavily in this country. The dispatches from New York tell us that the packing houses in this country have had difficulty in filling the orders as fast as they are received. The apple crop of the United States is 1,000,- 000 barrels short and prices for that fruit will be high. Canned goods have advanced very materially. In every view of the situation I can see no rea- on why prunegrowers should not re ceive a fair price, if they will ask tor It. “It seems to me to be certain that all the prupes will be wanted and the proper course for the growers is to wait until a living price is offered. I do not advise holding for speculative prices, but for a living price. Oregon prunes this year are of tirst-class quali ty and they give satisfaction wherever solfl. Houlton Will Have a Plant That Will Pm- ploy 100 Men. St. Helens—It is now a settled fact that the Western Cooperage Company, composed of Kentucky capitalists, will build a large stave factory at Houlton, on the Northern Pacific rail road, just on the outer e^lge of the cor porate limits of St. Helens, A dosen men are already at work getting camps ready in the woods, where the • bolts for the staves will be cut up and split into the usual size. A factory site has been purchased from W. H. Dolman, at Houlton, which has ample space for switches and side tracks. Options have been secured on several tracts of timber land, and a contract has been entered into with the Oregon Wood Company to float down 800,000 cords of stave bolts an nually. Construction work will begin on the factory at once, and the man agement state that fully one hundred men will be employed in the mill and timber. This company owns factories in Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia and at Seattle and Aberdeen, Wash. LIEU LAND REJECTIONS LARGE I.aad Agent West Puts Records In Order and (lathers Figures.
