WELLINGTON, Wash., March 10.

Totaries are battling with the last

Revivalist , to Be Calm.
ASHLAND. Or. Mar.. 9. Revlv
lists Oliver is coming to 'Ashland for
a month's campaign, under the aus
pices of the Ashland Mlnistrerial As
sociation. His advance agent, Rev.
Seeler, has been hero for several days
Making arrangements for the meet
Isgs.which will be held at the Chau
lauqua Tabernacle.
Some of the members of the latter
society, It is reported, read In the
papers tbo alleged utterances of the
revivalist at Eugene, and .object to
the use of the tabernacle for the
meetings. The evangllist's represen
tative however, said that the press
had greatly misquoted his chief, and
after some discussion tbo objection
was withdrawn.
CHICAGO, 111.. March 10. Car
negio, Morgan and Rockefollcr, three
of tho great monoy kings of the
world, today stand branded as "rob
bers" and their millions as "ill-got
ten," in n speech dolivered by Jo
scph rels, the i'mindelpma soup
manufacturer, who places himself in
the same class with the financiers he
castigates.
"Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan
and other captains of industry are
robbers and their millions are ill-
gotten gains. We cannot get rich
fast enough nowadays without rob
bing tho public. I admit that I, too,
have robbed "the public, and I am still
doing it, but I propose to spend the
accursed money in wiping out the
system by which I made it."
Fels further remarked that he
would spend his life and fortune to
the eradication of the system where
by he and the three mentioned men
made their colossal wealth.
"John D. Rockefeller," ho contin
ued, "is a mild, harmless man with a
mistaken ideal: But, personally hon
est, none the less, ho is a robber.
"Rockefeller and other million
aires have accumulated their wealth
through unjust laws, and especially
under the tariff's protection, nnd be
cause of these laws, I, too, have
robbed the public, and am still rob
bing it. I am not responsible for
these laws, but am doing and intend
to do what I can to change them."
'How are you getting rid of your
'robber wealth'" Fels was asked.
'Tor one thing," he replied, "T am
interested in spreading the single
tax propaganda throughout the
world. The movement is active in
the United States, England. Canada,
South Australia, New Zealand, New
South Wales, Denmark, Sweden and
other nations."
Fels' address was made to guests
seated at a dinner at the University
of Chicago settlement.

NAPLES, March 10. A torpedo
boat without funnels, having three
distinct advantages over the present
type of boat, is soon to be launched
at tho royal dockyard at Castella
mnre, according to a statement to
day by Commodore Calabritto, di
rector of the dockyard and the in
ventor of the boat.
By means of a special system of
electrical ventilators, the products of
combustion are discharged without
the need of Bmokestacks, which, be
sides offering a target in battle, also

The new system has the further ad
vantage of permitting steam to bo

The government is maintaining the
utmost secrecy regarding the inven

tests have already been made on n
remodelled torpedo boat.

of 1909.
Although customs receipts have In

A. E. Beals, government forecas

on his visit here lately that Rogue
River valley needed something dif
ferent from most sections in tho way
of weather forecasting, ns it was
practically, lis he said, "a swheel
within a wheel," and local condi

sections, and that forecasts for sec

would not fit.

ALBANY, Or., March 10. John
Burkhnrdt of Portland said to
