Astoria During the month of July the United States Fish Com mission commenced an experiment to learn how long it took a salrtwn to reach its natural spawning ground after entering the Columbia river from the ocean. A number of sal mon were caught In the Government trap In Baker's Bay and a small lead button on which was inscribed "U. S. Fish Commission" was riveted through the tail of each and then re leased. The first of these to be caught was onesdellvered to the Megler Can nery, at Brookfield, lust week and gave no outward evidences of hav ing been injured by the button. The distance from where the salmon was released and where it was caught was about 15 miles in a straight line and the time consumed was about two months. The capture of this individual fish does not necessarily teach anything, but may if others are caught. WOMKX AGAIN SKKK HALLOT. Salem The Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association Saturday filed petitions with the Secretary of State for a new woman's suffrage election. The principle upon which the peti tion is based and upon which the campaign will be carried on Is that the right to vote should.be given all women paying taxes on either real or personal property. This pro cedure was undertaken for the pur pose of opening an Issue for an ac tive campaign of reorganization. The matter will be submitted to the vot ers at the November election In 1910. In all previous woman's suffrage elections the effort has been to ob tain the suffrage for women under the same conditions as is enjoyed by men. The present petition is unique In that it asks for the suffrage for women taxpayers only and 1b the first time that such a measure has been presented in this state. GOOD ROADS MEETING. Hood River Under auspices of the Commercial Club two good roads meetings wore held here Saturday that are expected by Judge J. H. Scott, of Marion county, and Judge L. R. Webster, of Multnomah, to give the movement throughout the state a vigorous boost. Judge Webster explained the vari ous measures which the legislature will be asked to make laws, such as providing for a state appropriation to each county of $10,000, with the stipulation that the county receiving it must also appropriate the same amount; a law providing for the em ployment of state and county pris oners in the construction of roads; law providing for the organliation of local road improvement districts, and an amendment to the state con stitution empowering the several counties in the state to bond for the purpose of constructing permanent roads. IS IT CASK OF MURDER? Portland In a lonely, secluded snot in Macleay Park, the decom posed remains of a man were found by two small boys last week, and ex amination by the coroner has dis closed evldenoe that points strongly to murder. In the risht temple of the skull there is a large hole, Inflicted by a ponderous blow, and fragments of the bones, which were shattered by a heavy instrument, were found inside tim Kkull. Evidences of the man's Identity have been destroyed, and further evidences of the crime have been obliterated by time and the ele ments. Physicians say that the man has been dead for not less than six months and perhaps a year. They also say that the wound in his temple could not have been self-inflicted, and have accordingly eliminated the possibility of suicide. GETTING ANXIOUS .FOR BOX APPLSS ni'VS OREGON MINE. Albany One of the biggest min ing deals in many years in the San tiam district was consummated Sat urday, when a bond for a deed was filed here by Don A. Smith and T. J. McClary, transferring the Portland group of mines to E. G. Borden, a mining engineer of San Francisco. The purchase price is $50,000. Borden has two years to accept or reject the property, but must do $5000" worth of development work each year and take no ore. This property is In Linn county, 30 miles south of the Gold Creek district, on the north fork of Santiam, the scene of present tivlty In the Santiam country. the ac- STATK THRESH ERMEN COMMNE. Portland Pacific Coast managers of the leading threshing machine manufacturers of the United States met in session in this city Saturday, which was largely attended, and formed the Oregon State Thresher men's Association. The object of the meeting was to form an organidation which will be turned over to the threshermen of the state next May, following a convention of farmers in Portland from all parts of the state. The new association Is similar to those of nearly every other grain growing state in the Union and has for its purpose the prevention of un fair competition on the part of un scrupulous operators, the betterment of the roads and bridges of the state and the regulating of freight ratei on threshing machinery and supplies. Plausible. "The trouble with this tooth," said the dentist, probing it with a long, slender instrument "Is that the nerve is dying." "It seems to me, doctor," groaned the victim, "you ought to treat the, dying ' with a little more respect." Late uens from New York and Chi cago indicates that buyaii are getting anxious about securiug western box applet nd are gettiog ready to recede from the ataudpat pulicy tbey have so far (uiHiied this year. Heading be tweej Ibe lines of the (ollowiug dis patches It is evident thattheie will be oinetbiii dolog in the apple buying line in the very near future: Chicago, 3pt. 1."). Chicago dealers who handle northwestern upples say ini.tters are at a staudttill so far as buy lug is concerned. No pi ices have been made Growers are asking $1 and t'l tor the dock packed in boxes, be lower prioe for lien Davis, the higher for Wiuetaps and Jonathans. Dealers here think these pi ices too high and their ageuts in the northwest bate iieen so instructed. It is the opfninn here ttii.t OUo is enough tor lieu Davis ancl 81.13 to 11.25 tor lancy vari' tie, but, a i (.ne merchant expressed it, "the bauks ate full of the truit grow ers' money, they get the fruit and are mighty independent.

It equals 15 25 per barrel laid down beie, where as due New York (Jreeninga can be laid dowu in Chicago at 12 i!5 per bar rel as the outside price, t here is no doubt, iu the opinion of dealers, thnt consigning from the northwest is go ing to l.e on a ecale never before seen from that beet ion. The growers bad rather take their chances this way than accept lees cash than tbey believe the fruit ought to bring. Tbe middle wenteru orop is not cut ting very much figure in gnaeral es timates, beoauce ot its being small and very scattering. The News bears re ports from Kansas, Missouii aud Ne brueka that buyers are payiug $1.25 and 1.50 for the fruit, taking the va rieties as tbey run, the buyers to do the packing, while orchards of straight Jonathans are being sold at 81. ia. Most of the truit undoubtedly will be used iu local markets, so there will not be many middle western apples in the largo centers. The only Lux tipples ol last year's orop left here, so far as known to The News, are owned by 11. Woods & Co. They bad 30 boxes of Wintsaps the middle of the week, which tbey were ottering at $2.75 to $3. Mr. Wilmer oth, Woods Co. 's apple manager, says this is the wind up of 40, UK) boxes of western truit handled by the Arm this season. Mr. Wilmerotb says they ex pect to handle still more extensively this vear.

Toward the close nf the week the apple market did not exhibit the buoyant tendenoy that was evident earlier in the week, Ureal receipts being responsible for this condition ol atiairs. There is still a good demand for fancy red ap pies both the local and export trade are in the marker, for this truit and all good lines are rapidly absorbed. Usual y considerable of the other va rieties arti exported, hut this reason Europe is deiu.inding rod fruit. She baa plenty of the green variety and but few of these have been exported So far this seasou the moseuieut abroad has been very light, aud one receiver in sneaking ot the ntuaUen said that hardly enough have been ex ported to make a market. VV. Dennis & Co , of Loudon, in I oirculur dated August 2(! lepnrt that the tiooie oioo is considerably above the avernge. They look (or a fairly good demand iu Loudon or eurly ap Dies with color, lbey uutioipate i good market for Kings, General trade in Euulaud is not to good us it wus a year axo, but the consumption of fruit seems to b on the increase and lieu nis & Co. look for a fair average of prices. Some of the Now 1 ork bouses are bovine auifctly iu western New York when tbev see an orchard at a satis factnrv price. Early in the season it was hoped that 81 50 f. o. t. would be the prevailing price, but it was an par ent that the growers would have to re ceivo more or tuey would not seu their fruit. Many growers bad their ideas around $2 25. Some sales are reported at $2. I'tia bulk of the bust nets seems to have been done on the basis of $1.65 and $1.85. Apples bought at tbeso prices ought to yield a u ce nrolit. Storing Greenings 1 western New York began this week. Ibe size, color and quadty of the fruit is reported to be excellent. Home sav it was never bettei. Just what part iu the game sue tar western boxed fruit is going to play this year is a point that is causing some of the receivers some anxiety. Krimi all reports there will be a big orop. Ibis will naturally come into competition with eastern apples. Many grocers like to get ttieiriruu in boxes. It is easier oftentimes to sell a box, where the customer coueideis a barrel too large a quantity. The excellent puokiug ot far wenleru ap ples enables the peddlers to use this style of package to advantage. When they et a b-ix they are reasonably euie it will ooutuin fruit pretty well graded.
