Coal and Oil Ia Abundance, and Agrl.
cultural Riches Also.
Portland, Sept, 2S.-After spending
the summer in Alaska surveying and
locating coal and oil lands and couple
of homeateads on Kachenak Bay, a rail-
road eight miles long across the head of
this bay, and locations for fish salter-
les on Halibut Cove, John A. McQuinn
has returned to Portland for the win
ter. He is favorably impressed with
that region, in which layers of sand.
stone and coal alternate 10 consider
able depth, below which it is supposed
oil will be found. The beach is lit.
tered with coal, which has fallen from
veins between the layers Of sandstone
on the bluff shores. 1t is considered
quite certain that oil will be found by
boring to some depth, and machinery
for this will be on the ground next
spring.
The company of New York capitalists
in whose employ Mr.. McQuinn has
been proposes to locate colonies OF
Firms and Swedes on the lands it has
had surveyed, and to establish fish salt
cries on a large scale. Fish of many
kinds are abundant in the waters there.
Mr.. McQuinn says that when he lett
Alaska the last OF August the peninsula
between Kachenack and Cooks Inlet,
some so miles long and about as wide,
was covered with wild red-top grass
nine feet in height. The summer is
short, but it is warmer than any other
place in Alaska, and vegetation grows
rapidly, rsdishes, lettuce, ETC., being
ready for use in four weeks from the
time the seed is sown. The company
is going about the development of this
region cautiously and is bound to make
success OF the scheme, Mr.. MeQuinn
thinks. When the colonies of Firms
and Swedes are located and the fisher
les and mines fairly opened, vast
amount of wealth will be developed.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MODERN PRUNH GRADING.
Great Progress Has Been Made In the
Industry.

Industry.
The great progress that has been
made in the prune industry in this
state in the last few years is indicated
by the machinery which has been put
in operation at the Willamette Valley
Prune Associations warehouse in
Salem. In one corner of the ware
house stands an old-fashioned hand
prune grader, Of the back-breaking
type. II was capable of handling ten
tons of fruit day IL gang of men
could keep it going steadily. In the
center of the warehouse is a massive
power grader, AZ feet long and ten
feet high, the most up-to-date machine
for that kind of work Its capacity is
100 tons a day. In former years the
prunes were loaded on trucks, taken
up to the second floor on an elevator
and emptied into the grader by men
who lifted the sacks of prunes to the
hopper. Now the grader stands on
the third floor. A continuous chain
carrying cups runs from the base
ment to the top of the grader. On
any floor prunes may be dumped into
hopper and they are carried up to
the grader without further effort.
From the grader the prunes run
through steam process from which
they emerge into another hopper and
from this they drop into boxes all
ready for packing. From start to
finish manual labor is reduced to a
minimum and nearly all the work is
done by machinery. During the pas
sage of the prunes through the grader
and professor they are cleaned of al
dirt, are made uniform in moisture
and are placed in the boxes bright and
clean.

WHEAT TRADE AT STANDSTILL.
No Sales On the PendIeton Market and
No Shipments 10 Coast.

No Shipments 10 Coast.
The wheat market of Pendleton and
vicinity is at a complete standstill.
No sales have been made for nearly
week and no shipments of moment
are being made to the coast
This state of affairs was caused by
the sudden decline in prices. Club is
quoted at 67 cents per bushel, while
bluestem Is selling at 70 cents. This
is drop of cents per bushel on both
classes of wheat.
The mills had boosted the price
They were just out of wheat, and II
they had not paid high prices they
would have been forced to shut down
Some of the mills south of here had
to suspend operations because they
did not care to pay such fancy price
The mills are now well supplied and
are buying but little, only in cases
where there is storage room.
The export buyer seems out of the
market. The farmers will not sell al
the present quotations, and the buyers
will not offer higher money. There
are about 100000 bushels of unsold
wheat in the county.
Never was there such keen activity
among farmers in storing wheat. The
buyers sa ythat about 5000 sacks are
arriving in Pendleton daily, which Il
| 1000 sacks above the average daily
delivery. This rush of wheat to the
warehouses is due to farmers fearing
wet season, and also to get this
work off their hands so fall seeding
can be started. BY the middle of mex
week all the grain of the country will
have been placed under shelter. Th'
weather is ideal for the finishing o
harvest. Most of the grain which wal
standing when the recent rains cam'
will not be threshed, but will be Gu
for feed.

souri, River train No. Al, five miles
north of this city. The safe in the ex.

reports say it contained $4,000 to $lO,-

was taken and the men escaped in the

Not single shot was fred.

train made up which left at l O'Clock.
According to the meager reports re-

AMERICA URGED TO ACT.
Strong Pressure Is Being Brought to
Bear on State Department.

Washington, Sept. 23 -Communica'
tions have reached the state department
urging the government to say or do
something that will put a stop to the
atrocities in Turkey. 1t is stated that
this pressure does not emanste from
the missionaries. Officials at the state
department are reticent about the prob
ability of the United States giving ex-
preston to the feeling with which the
alleged atrocities in Turkey are viewed
by the people Of the United States, but
they said that reports from Turkey
show that the deeds daily perpetrated
in sections of that country are OF such
character as to shock civilization and
necessarily are Of deep concern to the
United States.
The state department today received
q cablegram from Minister Lelshmar
at Constantinople, but nothing waE
given out regarding it except that u
contained no alarming news and wal
partly concerned with routine business
Withdrawal Of the American squad
ron at Beirut, it is said, has not ye
been determined upon, and no indi
cation has been received from 0ystel
Bay as to the presidents intentions il
the matter.

THROWS THE LAND OPEN.
Effect Of Ruling Relating to Timber and
Stone Entries.

The ruling by the department to
construe strictly the testimony taken
in timber and stone entries in regard
to speculation will have the effect OF
throwing open again a greater part
of the timber land which has been en-
tered upon under the act of June 3,
1878, and for which patents have not
been issued. There would be no pos
sible way to enter the land then ex-
cept by those who have forest reserve
lieu land script to place, and this
would have the effect Of throwing the
best lands of the public domain into
the hands of corporations which have
bought up all available scrip to use
for good timber lands. This is the
exact result congress most desired to
avoid. Only a small percentage of
the entries under this act have been
made by adjacent homesteaders, who
enter such lands to reserve to them
selves and successors woodland for
the future.

MANY Conductors In Game.

Boston. Sept. iS.-The investigation
into the four-check swindle on the
Boston & Northwestern street railway
system, which came to light last week,
has led the police to the belief that
fully half the conductors on this system
have been guilty Of trading in bogus
checks at one time or another, during
the past three years. The police ex-
press the belief that the fraud will be
found to extend TO other railway sys-
TENS, including some Western cities.

Curious Habits of Spiders.

The water spider carries air down
with it when it dives. DR.. McCook
saw one remain forty-livc minutes
under the water.
One water spider builds nest I'M
der the water attached to the stem
of some plant and in the shape of a
diving bell, with the opening down
ward. 1t fills this bell with air by
taking down a bubble at a time.
Coming to the surface, it incloseS
an air bubble under its body and in
stantly desccnds. Getting under the
nest, the bubble is allowed to escape
into it. and this process continues
until the nest is full Of air. The
spider then LAYS its eggs there, IN
closed in a cocoon, and leaves them
for the young to crow in this under
water palace, safe from all flying
foes.
when these water spiders are seen
under water they look like balls Of
shining silver. Little bubbles Of
air seem to cling among the hairs
of their bodies. As spiders, like
insects, breathe the air at little holes
along the whole length Of the body,
they can easily make use Of these
bubbles Of air for breathing.
