British Naval Cruise in Baltic Without

LONDON, Aug. 21. In view of the
disturbed political conditions in the
Scandinavian peninsula and the recent
activities of the German emperor in
that direction, it is but natural that
keen interest should be manifested in
the cruise of the British channel fleet,
which started today for the Baltic sea
Th admiralty, however, disclaims any
political motive in choosing this un
usual locality for naval maneuvers. It
is stated that the fleet win pay no
ceremonious visits, that the Baltic is

on a cruise to execute maneuvers.

the grand jury which convenes tomor

certain capitalists, corporations and
speculators who have purloined valua
ble lands from the United States will
be indicted for fraud. The session of
the jury is as yet wrapped in mystery,
however, but some . of the subjects to
be taken sip can be surmised with s.
considerable degree of accuracy.
It is assured that the .indictment
against Willard N. Jones, Thaddeus S.

Ira wide, returned by tl? last grand
jury with conspiracy to defraud tne
by inducing old soldiers anl soldiers'

was faulty, and upon the intimation
of the judge that the demurrer to the
indictment would be sustained, the
indictment was dismissed. So clear a
ease, it is said, has the government
that these defendants will yet have to
answer to the cnarges against them.
The former faulty indictment was .an
other of the Otto Pagm documents,
drawn by that supposedlly expert plead

that he is the author of several text

A NEW FACTORY STARTED UP

Stege Came Will Manufacture Mis

tory Are Located at 445 Court Street.
? Paul Stege, formerly with the House
rurnishing Company of this ( city, and
t ---. fnrnMrlr With Tn6 otie9
man, have organized a mission fur
.nn.nv which will be known
as Stege & Carne. The firm has leased
the store building located at 443 Court
... i the rear of the building a
small manufacturing plant is being
erected, and will be equipped with all
tools and machinery neecssary to manu
facture mission furniture.
For some time there has been a de
mand for weathered oak and natural
wood finishes in arts and crafts, such
as are not to be purchased at a regular
furniture store except in a few cases
where eastern goods are imported,
which makes the selling price too high
for the person with average means. As
a comparison to the eastern manufac
tured designs in weathered oak, and
similar .articles manufactured on the
coast, the firm here referred to claims
to be able to retail home built furni
ture at about the same price that the
eastern furniture can be purchased for
by the average rtlealer.
The one cry of the merchants of to
day is, "patronize home industries."
i here is not a person in Salem but has
a desire to see our city prosperous and
at the same time expand many miles
through the valley.
-How are they to do this? By simply
encouraging and patronizing all, new
enterprises that are continually spring
ing up in our city, and push forward to
the one character that accomplishes
favorable results, viz., ' Success. " The
Stege-Carnes factory will undoubtedly
very soon grow to be one of the estab
lishments thaT not only contribute to
Salem's finances, but will give employ
ment to a numberjpf people. The firm
is now small, but we all realize that the
large firms of today started on a small
scale and increased to such an extent
that the present finds them in large,
commodious quarters, enjoying an ex
cellent patronage. One of the principal
features of the Stege-Carnes company
is the faet that no. goods will be sold
at wholesale. The entire output of the
plant will be sold direct from factory
tn nnnier. which naves all agents'
fees and jobbing house revenues, nnd

without asking any assistance of the
public in advnnce nnd with no future
prospect of advancement and growth
except that which comes from a loyal
people to a loyal firm, who give the best
satisfaction in retnrn for the money
expended with them.
The Oregon Furniture Company, lo
cated on the Willamette river in Sooth
Portland has been in successful opera
tion for years; the plant is now being
enlarged and covers twelve acres, of
ground space. The manager states that
there. is room for a dozen more such
factories in the northwest.
In Los Angeles a small factory was
established about four years ago, much
in the same manner as the one beinir
started in Salem, and today is turning
out enormous quantities of up-to-date
offices. For this purpose the secretary!

The ordinary citizen, however, is not

"They are not all funny stories that

It is unnecessary to say anything
about ihe personality of either member
of the Salem firm, they being well
known to most of our people; especially
Mr. Stege, who has, lived in Salem U
his life. He has been associated with
the House Furnishing Company for five
years, and was with their predecessors
two years. Mr. Carnes is not so well
known, having lived in Salem less than
tnree years, unnng wmen nmc mj

i been on the road for nine years, six
years as a commercial man -and three

energetic and we believe the people f
Salem join with the writer in wishing
them nothing but success.

EIGHTY DOLLARS A TON.
This Is the Price Offered .for Broom
Corn Here at the Present
Time.
A new product for the farmers of
Oregon is being developed in a way
and there seems reason to believe it will
in the future prove a valuable product.
Since the Salem broom factory has been
operated here in Salem there has opened
up a pretty good demand for broom
corn and now there is an offer of eighty
dollars per ton for it.
At Derby Sc Wilson 's there is being
shown a few samples of what can be
done in the way of raising broom corn,
and it would seem that the prospects
are good for those who would enter
this new agricultural field. A. W.
Froglei, who lives on Kaiser Bottom,
has a half acre of it, nnd it is doing
remarkably well.
The broom corn crop of the east is
largely a failure this year on account
of tho dry hot winds nnd there will be
a heavy . demand for, this material.
Again the acreage in the east is report
ed very slight this year, fully half less
than last year.

After all the "strenuous life" .of
which President Roosevelt is the fore
moct exouent is combined at Sagamore
Hill with the "simple life." Anyone
who knows the president does not need
to be told that he is always busy, but
he. goes-about his pleasure 'in the same
direct, unostentatious manner in which
he transacts the business of Wing pres
ident. Ills return from some one of
the many trips which be is continually
called ujMn to make is much like, that
of ' the ordinarv commuter returned to
Oyster Bay after bis day's business. A j
few people gather at the station to'
watch the special train of two cars as
it swings around the curve and draws'
up at the station.. The president jumps
off the rear platform of " Car No. '
"KHi" followed by the other memWrs
of bis party, a group of newspaper men
tumble out of the forward car, per-1

the watching crowd, shaken hands with I
the president, and the whole party !

president raises his hat to the spcta-j
tors and disappears around the corner,
on his way home, the crowd disperses,
the newspaper men walk ofT together ,
and the incident is over. There are no
guards visible, no police, no 'regula-I
tions." . j
In his leisure time there is the same,
simplicity. In spite of bis love of-out-!
door life the president is an inveterate'
reader. Much of the time that is not'

the department could le of no use, and
that the property was outside the city
limits, the engine and hose cart were
brought back. '
The motive for this crime is difficult
to conjecture. So far as he knows, Mr.
1 tonne has not iersonal enemy in Ihe
world. He has had some sttiad differ
ences with men employed by him but
these were of very little significance.
Mr. .Itosso, though notional, is not a
quarrelome : man, and there has ben
nothing in his career since he arrived
at Salem that would indicate that ho
had made any serious enemy. Deputy
Sheriff Minto, wh investigated the
mill fire last winter, was out to Mr.
Bosse's place last night and made dili
gent inquiry into all the facts, lie ex
presses himself as satisfied that the fire
was not started to injure Mr. llonse per
sonally but rather, to cripple the flax
industry on the coast ami discourses
others from trying to build up an cuter
prise, of tnat kind.
The previous fires of which Mr. Bonus
was the victim, were similar to this.
The first occurred last winter when the
brick mill on North Front street was
destroyed. In the mill was a l.irn
quantity of flax straw and i.ore, valued
at 13,(00. The fire was set in tho
southwest corner of the mill, just sftcr
dark, smd while the wind was from the
southwest. The crime had been cn re
fully planned so that the destruction
should be complete, but the courageous
fight made by the fire department sav
ed the old wooden mill, near tho brick
mill. Just a month later and at tho
same hour in the evening the wooden
mill was set on fire and was totally de
stroyed, entailing a loss of $:!mm.
chiefly on account of machinery lx-ut
and wared in the fire. Tho fact that
this last fire on the farm was set at th
same time and in such a place that
the light wind would carry tho fire over
the inflammable material, leaves little
room for doubt that one hand set all
three fires.
Just what effect these repeated losses
will have uon the flax industry it is
imjMissible to say at this time. Mr.
Bouse has shown grent perseverHiice
and unflinching courage in the pant and
may contrive a way to arise unscathed

invested a very large amount of money
in the flax industry in .Oregon -and Ims
received almoiutely no return. This in
itself would discourage the ordinary
man and it would be not nt si! sur
prising if Mr. Bsm should decline to
invest more money with a practical cer
tainty that an incendiary would find un
opjortunity to destroy it. If, as sus
pected, the blow has- been aimed at the
flax industry, it-would niake little dif
ference wfio invested money in the en
terprise, for the criminal would pursuo
his purpose regardless of persons. Mr.
Bosse could not le eommmiientcd with
last night in order to learn his view of
his probable future -course but it is
hoped that he will see his way to con
tinut" the work he has wo earnestly and
successfully l--.:un.' That his efforts
lisve met no reward has Wen no fault
of his.
