Found Ineffective

any false estimates Of it's ability to cope
with any enemy which it is likely to en-
counter. He insists upon the need of
greater intelligence and individual train

a college in India for the more effective
education Of officers.

Denver, Feb. ga special to the
News from Idaho Springs, Colo, says
A passenger train on the Colorado &
Southern railroad, which left Denver
this morning for Georgetown, was
wrecked by gale, two coaches and a
combination baggage and express car
being blown over and badly damaged.
The engine and tender remained on the
track. Four of the train crew and one
passenger were injured.
The train had come to a standstill
about l 500 feet from the station in
Georgetown, being unable to proceed
further because of the wind. While
waiting for the wind to subside, the cars
were lifted from the rails by the wind
and forced over on their side. The
passengers and crew were thrown with
great force against the sides of the cars,
but were able to escape through the
doors and windows.
1t was several hours before the news
of the accident could be sent to Denver,
as the telephone and telegraph wires
were prostrated by the wind. A spec
ial relief train, sent from the latter
city, encountered poles and wires
strewn over the track in many places
and with difficulty reached its destina-
tion, The severely injured were taken
to hospital in Georgetown for treat
ment.

FIGHT AGAINST AMERICAN MEAT.
Austrian Agrarlans Protest at Efforts
for Importation,

Vienna, Feb. 3.--The efforts of the
municipal council to reduce the price
of meat to the people of Vienna, by Sc
curing the importation of trans-At-
lantic meat products are meeting with
very strong opposition from the agrar-
ian interests.
Associations Of farmers and cattle
men and peasants unions throughout
Austria have addressed kilograms of
protest to the ministry of the interior
and the city council, urging that ire
parable damage would be done the agri-
cultural interests of the country if meat
from the other side of the Atlantic
were permitted.
The butchers of Vienna, being op-
posed to the sale of foreign meat, the
pork butchers association has taken up
the matter and now announces that the
first shipment Of Argentine beef to VII
emma will arrive here next Tuesday. 1t
appears to be very doubtful, however,
whether the government will permit
this shipment to be sold.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
GRAIN AND FRUIT 0ivR PROMISE.
Jackson County viii Not Have Sufficient
Wheat, but Fruit In Plenty.

observation-disclosures from all parts
of Jackson county are that the winter
wheat is in fine condition, both as to
stand and growth. The acreage for
this year is more than twice that of last
year, yet so much wheat land has been
given over to orchard and alfalfa that
it is certain there will not be enough
wheat in Rogue river valley this year
to supply the local demand, con-
dition that has prevailed for several
years past.
There is a large quantity of alfalfa
hay yet held in the valley. The larger
number of stockmen fear hard winter
and slight shortage in the crop last
season tempting the alfalfa growers to
hold for high nrices. The hay is now
$l5 to $l6 ton, but may not go high
er, as the winter has been open and
stockmen have required but little hay
for their stock. From the amount OF
seed being handled bv local dealers,
the acreage of alfalfa will be increased
fully 20 per cent in this valley this
year.
Apple, pear, cherry, prune, peach
and almond trees are in fine condition
and the yield will be up to the usual
standard for Rogue river. The vine
yards are also in fine shape. The fruit
acreage OF Rogue river, while very
large, will be increased by this winters

pears leading the list.
