prodnetH will heeoino as favorably
known as the Oregon rose.
In the horticultural awards the
Willamette valley was given a pilil
medal on Italian prunes, However,
long before the jury minouneed its
decision the piiblie had decided that
tlm Willamette prune Was ineompar
ably superior to any other to ho tast
ed on the grounds. .
When it eamo to processed fruits,
the splendid display from the Itogtie
Jller valley Mcdford, Ashland and
Grants l'ass captured the gold
medal mid the iidiniratiou of every
Msilor to the exhibit. Dmiclns mid
Wasco counties mid the Willamette
vnllev were each given a silver medal
for their fine displays of bottled
fruits.
All of the n win ds In horticulture
were made on the showing in the
l'alace of Horticulture alone, the
magnificent displays in the Oregon
building being excluded from compe
tition. The winning Oregon exhibit,
in charge of ( N Itavlin, is a beauty,
particularly delightful for its sim
plicity and the absence of the fussi
ness Ho common here. Kaeh fruit
section of the state contributed a full
idiaro to the big winning anil is en
titled to eipial credit.
OregouiaiiH on the exposition
grounds are particularly pleased that
the state captured the grand prize on
forage crops. While Oregoiiians
know that general fanning repre
sents the larger portion of the wealth
of the state, mid that the state is
unexcelled in the production of su.
perior forage and - rains, the anple
mid pear booster, more active than
the rest, has made Oregon known
most Inrgely iik a premier horticul
tural state. The mnpmficcnt show
ing in the palace of hrrliculture bus
made u tremendous impression, and
in winning the grand prize has
brought Oregon's larger side to the
attention of the nation, which will
now know that Oregon can raie
bogs feed daily animals mid beat thr
world in other things than fruit. This
is paitieiilarly gratifyinir to 0. K,
IVevlag, of Oregon Citv, who is di
rector of agricultural exhibit.

OVER CAPTURE OF

HimiitN, .tuno 23. Nowb that
Lomborg hail been carried by Aus
trian and Hungarian troops wnn re
ceived today with grent Jubilation In
Merlin. Throngs crowded the public
nqtinrca ami the parks, flags were
displayed, bnnds played patriotic airs,
extra editions of the nowspnpers wore,
shouted on tlio streets and the church
IksIIb wero rung. Everybody felt thnt
another great stop toward finnl vic
tory bad been gained.
A spcclnl correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette telegrnjihed that the
Russians beforo the general retreat
began hurriedly sent Imck all tho ar
tillery they could movo. This was
done Instead of endeavoring to covor
the rotrc.it of Hie artillery and saving
nil of It. Part of tlio cannon wero
usoless on account of poor ammuni
tion. '
Continuing the correspondent says:
'Mt was after the nrtlllory bad boon
sent to tho rear that the panic strick
en troops besnn their flight. Wagon
and supply trains blocked tho roads.
Men detached tlio horses from thrSo
vehicles mid rode away on tlioin,
heedless of tho crowd of soldiers of
nil nrins, crowding Imck to tho rear.
"(lenerals and colonels wero help
lessly cnrrled awny. Units woro dis
banded and tho army became n mero
mob. It wns readily to bo seen that
catastrophe ' wnsunavoldab1n."
A report was given out today thnt
since Juno 12, sixty thousand Rus
sian soldiers mid nine Russian guns
bnvo been captured.

(By Louis Oiilhmauit, noted expert on
' gunnery mid explosives
Unprofessioiials have naturally
great fear of the terrific power of
high explosives; hut experts know
that by using a proper fuse they are
much safer to handle than powder
shells.
As conclusive proof of this I refer
to the war between Japan mid Rus
sia; the latter bad its fleet equipped
witli urnior-picrcing projectiles, while
lapaii had minuted high exolosive
shells, mid in the sea of Japan, May
28, IDOTi, Japan literally destroyed
the Russian navy, sinking 22 ship"
mid capturing M; only two out of US'
escaped.
Furthqr proof was furnished bv un
high explosive shell (est iigaint our
battleship Puritan, about four years
ago. This battleship sank as a re
sult of one high explosive shell. Com
paring the efficiency of this result
with armor-piercing shells, icier to
the test against the battleship San
Marcos. It took two days' bombard
ment to sink this old battleship; cer
tainly with this number of high ex
plosive shells they would have hern
sufficient to sink all our battleships.
If Turkey had a few modern 18
inch guns in proper places and suf
ficient shells containing ,ri()l) pounds
of high explosives, the Anglo-Fieuch
ships would have not even attempted
to force the Dardanelles; this is, of
course, only an assumption of mine,
but it is ii reasonable one.
The small sketch shows the fuse in
detail. 1 indicates the body of the
shell, 2 the bridge plug, .'I a separnte
shell which curries the fuse. The
fuse compriMis a thin metallic eaxe
