HEARST'S ENTERPRISE.
A NEW CLAIM BUREAU.

The San Francisco Examiner has estab.
lished in Washington, ID. c., bureau to be
called "Examiner Bureau of Claims, which
will be OF great benefit to all persons hav-
ing claims against the Government of any
nature or description whatsoever Tne
pension fees chargeabe by attorneys have
for some time been limited by law. and uh-
der the recent act of NJ .rch 3, 1891, trans
ferring the jurisdiction of Indian Depreda-
tion cases from tine Interior Department to
the Court of claims, Congress. not only i'm
tied the fees, but in order to check the
rapaclty Of the claim agents Cancelled ali
existing contracts and fee agreements be
tween client and attorney. Congress was
led to take this action on account of facts
brou 2ht to their notice that by combina-
tion among she leading claim agents a
range of fees from 33i 20 so per cent had
been established. The vast mass of gov,
ernmeut claims are still unprotected by law
Mr.. William r. Hearst son of the late
Senator Hearst, and the proprietor of the
Examine, proposes to attend through his
new bureau to all classes of cases before
the pensions, patents, depre-
dation claims and Indian claims-for a
small percentage above the actual cost of
the work:
He has engaged several competent attor.
neys and the necessary clerical force of a
large bureau. and they will soon be at work
II has placed at the head of the bureau
Mr.. John Wedderburn of this city, who
has long been the correspondent of the Ex-
aminer, and had remarkable experience a
few years ago in fdrreting out for Secretary
Tracy some gigantic contract fraads at the
Mare Island Navy Yard. The new bureau,
being established by responsible newspa-
per, has already received the cordial en-
dorsement of many Western members of
Congress, and is getting big pile of mail
from all sections of the country.

FRUIT OF THE NORTHWEST.

The culture Of fruit IN Oregon
and Washington is one of the un-
developed promising industries Of
those wonderful states to the north
Of California. A writer in the
Petaluma Courier of recent date
puts the case in this graphic style:
"The pioneers who crossed the
dreary plains into Oregon in 1910
and 1914 carried with them the
seeds Of fruit trees, and planted
them and fruited them early.
"Some of the oldest orchards IL
California have trees still growing
in them and bearing heavily that
were brought from Oregon before
the days of '49.
"Oregon has a magnificent eli
mate and soils for all hardy and
semi hardy fruits. She has not
progressed SO far as California in
fruit culture for want of market.
California attained transcontinen
tai railroad connections more than
a score of years earlier than Ore
gon. This gave the dry state a
long start ahead in fruit culture;
but now as a matter Of fact, Ore
gon is the better fixed Of the two,
in having competing lines of rail
roads across the hills and prairies.
The same may also be said of
Washington. Therefore those great
states are beginning to make a
fuss IN fruit production, and they
are going to keep it up, and rightly
too, for they have got that great
northern world which is swept by
blizzards to supply with fruits. 1t
is a country of vast extent, which
will be teeming with millions Of
people, living where fruits cannot
grow, but where stuff with which
to exchange for fruits can be; and
besides, they have cool northern
direct route by which they can
ship east.
Oregon apples and prunes and
plums, and possibly grapes and
peaches, will soon make a great
showing in the worlds markets,
for no greater or better or surer
crops can be grown anywhere.

GEOLOGICAL SPECIMENS.
GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT,

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
CORVALLIS. OREGON.
DEAR SIR:-The College author
tiles, believing that acquaintance
with the appearance Of our native
animals on the part of students is
advantageous, desire that there
should be represented in its Zoo
logical Museum, typical specimens
OF Oregon birds, manuals and rep
tiles.
With that object in view, they
are prepared to pay just prices for
desired specimens in the flesh, or
mounted, or simple stuffed skins
properly prepared.
Anything of such a nature sent
to the College should be plainly
marked ''Museum Of State Agri-
cultural College, Corvallis, Or"
and sent, when possible, by Wells
Fargo's Express, which company
courteously carries such specimens
gratis, when SO addressed.
The College reserves the right
to reject any specimen or speci-
mems in poor condition, or those in
which the workmanship does not
reach the standard Of excellence,
or those with which the museum
may have been previously sup
piled.
Although all, even the most
common birds, manuals, reptiles.
etc, are desired, such as black
birds, sparrows, pigeons, hawks,
moles, gophers, squirrels, snakes.
turtles, ETC., it would not be SO
advisable to send the more com
mon species in the flesh (for these
can usually be obtained by local
collectors). as other rarer animals
not so easy to procure. Such ami
mails if they are to be several days
on the road, should be disembow-
eled through a median slit about
one third the length of the animal,
in the posterior part of the abdo-
men on ventral side, and they
should be carefully packed.
1t would be difficult to quote
prices on such specimens as such
prices would depend on market
value of the animal, its rarity, de-
STABILITY, etc., at time of purchase.
A large series of specimens of
Haplodoas. "Mountain Beaver" are
desired, and if in good pelage, Is
cents each will be paid for ten or
more. The same is true of ''Lago-
mys," or Little Chief Hare" :"
"Pika Hare" "Starved Rat" or
"Coney"
A list of prices paid for mount
ed birds and bird skins will be
sent on application. Representa-
tive manuals, as prairie dog, wolf,
coyote, deer cougar, jack rabbit.
ETC., and good specimens of our
water fowl and land birds. the ven
omous and -venomous snakes.
turtles, etc are desired.
Note that every thing of this
nature sent to the College by Ex-
press, must be plainly marked as
above indicated.
1t is hoped that all interested
in the growth of the museum who
can help in this matter will do so.
Specimens are frequently pre-
sented, aud in such cases due cred
it is given the donor. Specimens
moulting' or shedding their hair
are not so desirable as those in
good plumage and pelage.
Respectfully,

won at the first year competition.
1t appears that the intention was origin
ally 10 have held lie second competition at
Camp Stoneman at S Inta Cruz but oojec don
was raised, especially by Company Oak
land, that the competition would not have
been on a strictly fair basis, because. as
charged, the Captain of Company Il, which
held the trophy, had enlisted a number of
German sharpshooters sufficient to out
number any Of the other companies in the
matter of crack shots. and certainly Com

The protest, while 1t had the effect of put

manifested itself. and very nOtceably when
none OF the seven companies appeared ut

The committee of officers Of the \. G. c.
has had seance with the Committees on
Appropriations of the Senate and House,
and the decision arrived at is eminently sat-
Sfactory to all concerned. True, the COM
mittee was not granted all that it asked;
but then it did not bargain that it would.
and in Its estimates trimmed its sails ac-
cordingly to admit of reductions and at the
same time not cripple the guard.
The officers estimate of 1881, 056 was cut
down by Sl1,149 to S3l9,907 for two years,
and this sum which the legislators agreed
10 recommend as the appropriation for the
years 1912 is Il reduction of so, 903 on the
sum Of S34l,S10 appropriated for the pre-
yious fiscal year. Nor was anything asked
but is absolutely required and provided for
by the code, the demands of the officers
having been really modest, as it was decided
they should be at the annual convention of
the officers. 1t will be noticed that $50, go
was allowed for eneampments. and in this
connection "the Queens Hussar" will
probably feel like standing on his head and

the editorial announcements that for
example in 1889 the National Guard
was allowed $4,000 for annual encamp-
nents. Dibbie allows nothing. Should the
Legislature indorse Mr.. Dibble's views the
State will be saved the whole of this S25 Geo,

would in nowiSe reduce the efficiency Of the
National Guard" and more of this ad

The reductions made in estimates sub

armory rents ana expenses, from SO. $50 to
