Farming Districts Suffer Mott—15
Dead at One Place—Wires Down,
Damage Immense.
Oklahoma City—Thirty-one persons
are reported to have been killed by a
tornado that swept Southwestern Okla
homa and the southeastern corner of
the Texas panhandle late Sunday.
A dozen towns were struck and
farming communities suffered.
Communication facilities are para
lyzed and.it is impossible to confirm the
reports of life or estimate the proper
ty damaged.
The greatest loss of life reported is
at Lugert, where it is said 15 persons
were killed. A special train sent from
Altus with physicians and nurses
picked up 10 injured persons and start
ed back for Altus.
Two of the injured ones died on the
train.
It is reported that a Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient train had been blown
from the track and 20 persons killed,
but it developed that only two cars
had been derailed and no one was hurt.
The tornado started just across the
Texas border and first killed several
persons at Kirkland, Tex., demolish
ing 30 buildings, and blew a Rock
Island work train off the track.
Tearing on northward the storm
struck Eldorado, killing four; Calumet,
killing three; and Lugert, Rocky,
where half the town is in ruins; Yu
kon, Warren, Martha, Blair and Lone
Wolf.
At each of these places many per
sons were hurt.
Several of those
towns are cut off from communication.
What is believed to be the tail of the
storm destroyed several buildings at
Mulhall, 50 miles north of Oklahoma
City, but so far as known there were
no casualties there.

Fourth Chinaman Wounded In Battle
at Salinas, Cal.
Salinas, Cal. — Five highbinders
broke into a room here where four
Chinese were playing cards, shot three
of them dead, wounded the fourth ser
iously and escaped.
Murdered and
murderers are alike unidentified. The
wounded man will make no statement.
From the fact that none of the com
batants is known here, it is supposed
that all of them were tong warriors
planning a raid on marked men, but
that the second party, having learned
the errand of the first, tracked them
to the room where they were hiding,
and shot them down.
The police believe both parties come
either from San Francisco or Watson
ville.

SHamer Harvard Afire.
Los Angeles—The steamer Harvard,
of the Pacific Navigation company,
had a narrow ecsape from destruction
by fire while lying at her dock at East
San Pedro. There were no passengers
aboard and no one was injured. The
total damage was approximately
$3000. The fire started in the galley
from a defective oil pipe and it re
quired an hour’s work by the fire tug
Warrior to extinguish the blaze. The
entire galley and six staterooms
on the main deck were destroyed.
Flood Funds Assured.
Washington, D. C.—An immediate
appropriation of $1,600,000 for the
rebuilding and repairing of levees on
the Mississippi and its tributaries was
made certain late Saturday when the
house passed the senate’s joint resolu
tion authorizing the expenditure.
Congress previously had authorized
the use of $600,000 for emergency
work to stop the ravages of the flood.
The situation in the Mississippi valley

Mexicans Causa Wreck.
Mexico City—The wreck of the

with the governor of the]state. Fur
ther investigation of the wreck seems
to point to an explosion of an oil tank
due to carelessness or ignorance on

POULTRY KEEPING PROFITABLE.
Prof. Drydon of O. A. C. Advises Farm
ers to Increase Flocks.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.—"Thera has been an enormous
increase in the production of eggs and
poultry In the state In the past two
years, but In spite of this the demand
has far exceeded the supply, and prices
are still as high as ever," said Pro
fessor James Dryden of the Oregon
Agricultural College In discussing the
object of the present tour of the poul
try demonstration car sent out over
the Southern Pacific lines by the col
lege.
"If the farmers of Oregon would
keep, on an average, 100 hens Instead
of about 50, It would shut out the im
ports and add $4,000,000 or $5,000,000
» year to the wealth of the state.
“The purpose of the demonstration
car Is to stimulate a greater production
of poultry and eggs. The quickest and
best way Is to Increase the flocks of
the farmers rather than to have poul
try keepers start large egg farms. The
demand cannot be met by the estab
lishment of large, exclusively poultry
farms. If the general farmer goes out
of the egg producing business there
will soon be an egg famine—possibly a
serious financial panic.
"Though there are opportunities for
profit along special lines In poultry
keeping, the market for specialties is
limited, and It would be folly to advise
everyone to go into special lines. I
am free to confess that we have kept
more people out of the poultry busi
ness than have gone into it as an ex
clusive business. I have received
great numbers of letters during the
past year from all parts of the state
as well as from other states, In which
the writers stated that they were go
ing Into the poultry business on a large
scale, and a large majority of them
said they knew nothing of the busi
ness. Our plain duty was to advise
caution. If every one of them had
gone Into the business as they Intend
ed and Invested their all in It, It is
safe to say that there would have been
thousands of dollars lost In every coun
ty of the state, and the poultry busi
ness would have received a black eye.
"Poultry keeping Is not a difficult
business unless we make it so. If
conducted along sane, common-sense
lines, there Is profit In It. The two
points on which special emphasis Is
laid in the demonstration car are feed
ing for eggs and housing. Egg rations
are on display, feeding charts show re-
suits of experiments, breeding charts
show results of breeding for eggs, dif
ferent grades and qualities of eggs are
exhibited, marketing possibilities are
demonstrated, and the equipment for
successful hatching and brooding of
chicks Is displayed. The walls of the
car are covered with signs and charts
containing lessons In practical poul
try keeping. A 'knock down’ colony
house la taken along and set up out
side the car at each stop.
“While chickens may be made to
do well In different houses. It may be
said In favor of the colony system and
free range that there Is no noted poul
try district In the United States where
poultry-keeping has been permanently
successful, where the colony house
system wa* not followed. The colony
bouse, moreover, was the house used
at the Oregon Experiment Station last
year for the hens that made the high
est egg records ever made In the Unit
ed States so far as official or authentic
record Is concerned. The demonstra
tors on the car explain how those hens
were housed and cared for, and answer
any questions as to their feeding and
treatment.”
DRY FARMING ALFALFA.
Prof. 8cudder Sees Big Possibilities In
Alfalfa Seed.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.—The growing of alfalfa on the
dry farming lands of Oregon In culti
vated rows for the production of seed
has been the special dry farming hob
by of Prof. H. D. Scudder of the Ore
gon Agricultural College. He has ad
vocated this plan wideiy through East
ern Oregon for the past five years, and
is beginning to see practical results
on a large scale. A prominent wheat
farmer at Arlington has planned to
put In ICO acres of alfalfa on his dry
land, and has asked the agronomy de
partment of the college for special In
struction and for the best seed. An
other man, one of the largest wheat
farmers In Gilliam county, Is to put In
1,000 acres of alfalfa this spring. The
meat number of letters oomlns to Prof
Scudder from all parts of Eastern and
Central Oregon on this subject tndi-
-ales the first great change for the
better In dry farming agriculture there.
REEF. NOT ICE, HIT?
DOTATION OF GARDEN CROPS
Theory Given That Titanic Struck
Submerged Rock.
New York—The suggestion that the
Titanic struck a ledge of rock and not
an iceberg is made in the current issue
of the Nuutical Gazette, a weekly
shipping paper.
The possibility of
such an accident is urged because the
ship struck in the same longitude as
the half-submerged Virgin Rocks to
the north ar.d possibly in the same spot
where the Naronic foundered in 1898.
The Titanic, it is suggested, being
the deepest ship of the seas, might
have hit a rock that other ships have
passed over safely. The Gazette says
that at least a survey of the place
should be made by the United States
government.
Under the bead of
“ What Did She Strike?” The Gazette
says:
"A strange possibility arises from
the coincidence in proximity of posi
tion of the Titanic and the Naronic
disasters. The position where the Ti
tanic met her doom was lattitude
41:46, longitude 50:14.
This is
south of the Grand Banks, but in just
about the same longitude is the dan
gerous submerged Virgin Reef. The
action of the Gulf Stream, the exist
ence of the Virgin Rocks, and even
the proximity to the surface of the
Georges Shoals, nearer the coast
shows that even in this distant part of
the Atlantic there may be submerged
ledges of rock never hitherto dis
covered.”
Too Much of On* Thing on the Sams
Spot Roba the Soil and Lower*
Yield—Can Be Prevented
NAVY DISCREDITS THEORY.
Theory of Submerged Rocks Pro
nounced Improbable.
Washington, D. C.—With the Vir
gin Rocks fully 250 miles north of
where the Titanic foundered, navy hy-
drographers express the opinion that
it is exceedingly improbable that the
liner struck those or- any semi-sub-
merged rocks.
| While no soundings ever have been
made in the immediate vicinity where
the Titanic went down, they explain
that soundings farther northward
show a steady decline of the sea bot
tom toard the ship’s position.
It is said at the hydrographic office
that as the water where the Titanic
struck is approximately two miles
deep, it would take a formation with
an enormous base to bring the apex
anywhere near the surface, and sound
ings at a 10-knot distance would show
a rise in the ocean’s bottom. The
nearest soundings made south of the
point where the disaster occurred are
60 miles away and these show 2100
fathoms.
Nothing is known of how the Nar
onic met her fate in 1893, but the rec
ords say she might have struck an ice
berg, been wrecked in a field of ice, or
had an explosion, but all the charts
reveal is that two of her boats were
found on March 4, 1893, at latitude 42
north and longitude 46 west.
BILLS FOR COAST PASS.
Public Buildings Are Authorized—En
try Laws Changed.
Washington, D. C.—The senate has
passed the following bills:
Granting to the city of Portland a
■trip of land around the postoffice and
custom house sites to enable widening
of the streets.
Authorizing construction of public
buildings at Vancouver and Klamath
Falls and increasing the limit of the
cost of buildings at Albany and The
Dalles.
Providing that no entryman on a
government irrigation project shall be
subject to contest if he fails to main
tain residence on his land prior to the
time water is available for irrigation.
Granting extension of three years in
which to make proof of desert land
entries.
Authorizing establishment of a sta
tion of the Pacific Coast for investiga
tion of marine fisheries.
Establishing a fish, cultural station
in Idaho.
Extending the surface rights act to
state selections, so that states may
select public lands classified as coal,
acquiring title to the surface, mining
rights being reserved to the govern
ment.

Sheep Are Nervous.
Sheep are nervous animals and of

more from bad ventilation and over

Manure May Prevent Heaving,
Work over the manure In the yard
and barn cellars and lay It up In rect
angular piles. Frequent handling will
prevent heating.
Have the manure
well rotted for early cropa.
A light dressing of decomposed ma

Cart out the manure

Pinkham M e d i c i n e Co., Lynn, Mass.
Your letter will be opened, read and
answered by a woman and held in strict
confidence. A woman can freely talk of
her private illness to a woman; thus has
been established a confidential corre
spondence w h i c h h a s extended over
many years and which has never been
broken. Never have they published a
testimonial or used a letter without the
written consent of the writer, and never
has the Company allowed these confiden
tial letters to get out of their possession,
as the hundreds of thousands of them in
their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which they have to draw from, it is more
than possible that they possess the very
knowledge needed in your case. Noth
ing is asked in return except your good
will, and their advice has helped thou
sands. Surely any
woman, rich or poor,
should be g l a d to
