1 EVENTS IN OREGON !
i-K-K- !
MARK TKSTS WITH SALMON.
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.

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. Eveu 81.25 a
box in a good stiif pi lee. 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. The Brm nas a well organ
ized trade, a wide outlet aud can take
a care of a great deal o fr-jit.
New York. Sept. 15. 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.

jy Did it ever occur to you why all
good business men keep a checking
account with a bank? We'll tell
you. It enables them to keep their
funds in a more secure place than
the office safe. It gives them a
better standing in the business
world. It enables them to pay their
a bills by check, the returned check
j being un undisputable receipt.
Individuals find a checking
account very convenient and a
source of saving. Money in one's
pocket is often spent on the spur of
tho moment, while one is disposed
1 to think twice before drawing on
his balance in the bank. Get the
