SOIL TO BRING
HEAT AND POWER

Washington, Sept. l2.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson does not join
in the pessimistic views as to the ma
tion's economic destiny recently
made public by President j. j. Hill
of the Great Northern railroad, who
shudders to think Of the days when
our population trebles. The secreta-
ry makes an answer today that
0reathes the spirit of optimism and
confidence, and assurances OF the fu-
cure. lie admits the accuracy Of the
railroad magnate's statement OF facts,
but he does opposes his dedt ctions
aud representations. lie declares chat
il is true the British tarm0ls gets a
greater yield per acre than tie tneri-
can, but it is because he has 1dopted
different methods. The secretary says
the application OF new methods in the
west aud in the Mississippi valley will
yield enormous returns The lecre-
tary has no uneasiness about the lack
of fuel.
"'lhe farmers will meet condi-
tions, " he says. Congress has tax
an the first step in granting free alco-
nol, aud this department is at work
learning what can re done to develop
its possibilities.
Chemists are working at a big
cannely in Illinois to learn how to
produce cheaply from the waste pro-
ducts of that business, and an expert
has been sent to Europe to study and
bring back supplies of seed for the
production of big stock potatoes
raised there for alcohol and stock
food. 1t is not the ordinary edible
potato we know, but will give twice
the alcohol pei acre. Still other ex.
perts are studying the use of alcohol
for heat and power,
"We will irrigate more The gov
ernment is doing what it can to re
claim land who lies below the Lowell
of the ditch. But what OF tho land
which lies above the ditch to which
the water cannot Inc tbEon? Wei, We
are working still mole for We ae
finding crops that will grow on it, g
are searching the ends OF the cath
for them. Durum wheat, for CEN
turies raised in Algeria and dry parts
of Russia, was brought to us, 1t will
produce good crop on 10 inches Of
annual rainfall. Last year we raj ed
10, 600, 600 bushels of it, aud this ear
the crop will be much larger.

Siedlce, Sept. 10. "A Jewish massa
Gre surprising In seriousness all pre-.
vious ones in this vicinity, took place
here Saturday and Sunday. 1t wat
carefully planned beforehand, the sol.
diers warning all the Christian popu
lation in advance to hang out Their

Saturday night some Terrorists
killed two soldiers, aud theIeupon the
Libau Regiment broke forth in unre.
strained fury. They began murder.
ing Jews on every hand, and contin.
ued their work Of slaughter all night
Saturday and all day Sunday.
The CHASTITY work of numbering and
pillaging continued until early this
morning, when Governor General
Skallon telegraphed for permission tc
use the artillery. -Four batteries. then
opened fire down Pienka, Wal saw and
Aliena streets, which were inhabited
by thousands of Jews. The destruc-

RinaIdo M. Hall Resigns.

Rinaldo M. Hall, who for severa
years was advertising agent of the o,
r. IL N. company, and when the
offices were consolidated with the
Southern Pacific, his duties we're OK
tended over the latter's lines in Ore
gon, has resigned his position, it tax
ing effect the first of the present
month. Mr.. Hall Is uncertain at Pres
ent just what line line of work he vii
take up.
Mr.. Hall has set high standard
on the work of the office, his publica
tions being the equel of any of like
character among the big railroads oi
the oouAtry. His publications have
been original, unique and effective as
a means of advertising the resources
OF the wonderful country traversed by
the Hartman system, and Hood Rivot
has never had cause to feel sighted
in any of these publications. The de-
mand for these books and folders haI
demonstrated their value, and the
eagerness with which they are sought
as soon az issued, is an added tribute
to the high character Of the work,
Mr.. Hall has many friends among
the newspaper profession who wisl
him every success in whatever line O
work he may take up.

Apples for ,he Orient.

Hood River apples are soon to be.
come as famous in the Orient as they
are now in New York and the Euro
pean cities. The Eastern Importing
company, which has branch offices In
all of the large Asiatio ports and
cities, has contracted with the Hood
River Apple Growers union to handle
the product in the Orient. The com
pany will control all of the apples that
go to Asia and will Systematically in
troduoe them.

towns will very shortly be as easy tC
procure in Shanghai, Canton, Hong.

will be difference in price. 1t Il
expected that the apples will be read.
ily purchased by the tourists, for.
eign officials and the higher class OF
the Celestials. A Chinese or japanese
or an Indian enjoy Hood River ap'
pie With as much relish as does al
American or European.
Ii is thought that large business
eau be worked up in the Orient and
the brisk demand of the comparatively
few and small shipments of apples re-
3eived there iustifles this belief. The
Eastern Importing company is fanil
laI with the territory, is in position
to advertise and augment the sale oi
the product, aud for these reasons il
received contract from the HOOD
River Apple Growers union. j.
Hamilton Sawyer, the Portland repre-
sentative of the company, has been
corresponding with the Hood River
fruit grow re- for some time.
A box of apples can be shipped tC
theAsiattc ports for about 27 cents,
while to send a box to New York and
England costs 30 cents and 70 cents
respectively. The apples will be
shipped in specially made boxes, lined
with paper, Every apple will be
wrapped. This will be done to insult
complete preservation. Experiments
will be conducted by the Eastern I'm.
porting company to ascertain what
variety is pest fitted to withstand the
climatic ChauGps.
Hood River apples are not eaten all
the way from tho north pole to the
south pole, but they come very near
being shipped clear around the worlc.
New markets are constantly being
opened. They are now shipped az faI

NintA EAlr At Salem.

Fair Grounds, Salem, Or, Sept. 10
The weather could not have been
more Ideal for the opening of the
State Fair. No sooner we're the gates
thrown open at o'clock than people
began to flock in, and up to noon the
crowd was estimated at about 6, 6,000
The opening could not have been
more auspicions, and indications are
that the attendance throughout the
week will be larger than expected
Exhibits, which are better In every
respect than ever before ARE in place
in every department, and large force
Of men is engaged in putting the Tin
ishing touches on. Livestock, dairy,
machinery and agricultural exhibits
are all above the standard of excel
lence and scope, and are centers of at
fractions among the displays.
The greatest attraction at the fair
is the racing programme, which is
composed of two regular harness
events and two running races each
day, with one or two special running
or harness races sandwiched in. The
best horses ON the coast are entered
In these events and some fast time is
expected to be made, il not records
broken, during the week.
The track is in excellent condition
and horsemen pronounce it faster
than ever before.

EMOsier and The Dalles are now busy
In the packing and shipping oi
prunes. There will be none dried
this year, or very few, the bulk going
out in FIVE pound baskets to the east
ern markets. Last years returns for
this method of shipment we're very
satisfactory, and 1t is being followed
up this year on more extensive
scale. r. Ii. Weber says that there
will be about 25 cars from The Dalles
and l5 from Mosier. The shipments
from Hood River will be small, as
there are but comparatively few in
the valley.

An interesting experiment was tried
In small town of the East. A dollar
was tagged and on the tag was the re-
quest to note to whom it was paid and
for what. In few hours it had
passed through the hands of grocer,
butcher, collector, a bookstore
nlan, a hardware merchant and p
preacher. In few days 1t had paid
over 500 worth of debts. The idea
was to show that dollar spent at
home does good to many each day and
that it's actual monetary value is not
It's full measure Of good In a comuni-
ty. Spent with catalogue house, it
leaves the home town and does no
more good there.

THE STEEL SQUARE.
story of the Invention of the Tool
Used by Cnrpenters.

Used by Carpenters.
The large steel squares used by ear.
penters are such common tools that
perhaps few know when and where
they were first made and how they
came to be used or even give the mat
ter thought. The making of them is a
great industry now, but when the last
century came In there was not one In
use
The inventor was a poor Vermont
blacksmith, Silas Howes, who lived in
South SALISBURY.
One dull, rainy day peddler of tin
ware called at his shop to have the
blacksmith fasten shoe ON his horse.
Such peddlers Travelled up and down
the country, calling at every farmhouse,
buying everything in the way of bar
ter This one had number of worn
out steel saws that he had picked up In
various places Howes bargained for
them, shoelng the peddler's horse and
receiving the saws in payment, and
each thought he had an excellent trade.
His idea was to polish and weld two
saws together at right angles and thus
make rule or measure superior to
anything then in use. After few at
tempts he succeeded in making a
square, marked it off into inches and
fractions of inches and found that it
answered every purpose that he in
tended it for
In the course Of few weeks he made
quite number during his spare hours
These he sent out by the peddlers, who
found every carpenter eager to buy
one, Soon he found orders coming in
faster than he could supply the de-
mand. One of his steel squares" would
sell for So or SO, which was five times
as much as it cost him.
He applied for and obtained a patent
on his invention so that no one else
could deprive him of the profit 1t gave
him. 1t was Just after the war Of 1912,
and money was scarce and difficult to
get, but he worked early and late, and
as he earned money he bought iron and
hired men to help him. In few years
he was able to erect large factory and
put in machinery for the making of
squares, which by this time had found
their way all over the country and had
made their inventor famous.
Such was the small beginning Of
large and important industry. People
came miles to see the wonderful forges,
the showers Of sparks flying from be-
meath the heavy hammers, and listen
to the din Of the thousand workmen.
Silas Howes lived to be millionaire,
and he did great Geal of good with
his money,-Congr, gntiana!jSt

ADVERTISING
BY 0. R. & N.

According to William McMurray,
general passenger agent OF the Harrl.
man lines in Oregon the o. X. q N.
company, the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific will redouble theil
efforts to advertise Oregon in the
East in the future. Notwithstanding
the excellent advertising given this
state by the Hartman system in the
past, new features and new advertis
ing departments will be added to al
the RAILROAD publications issued BY
the Hartman people on the Pacific
coast.
Mr.. McMurIay today secured q
number Of hunting and range photo
graphs from Major Lee Moorhouse,
and in the Forthcoming edition OF the
"Road of a thousand wonders, and
the "Overland Route" to be issued
by the Union and Southern Pacific
roads, the hunting advantages OF Ore
gon will be featured.
Thousands of eastern hunters come
west every year in search Of good
hunting and heretofore this feature
OF Oregon has been neglected in all
advertising. The Hartman people
will now place this feature prominent.
ly before the east and photographs and
views of hunting scenes will have 9
prominent place in all Forthcoming
publications.
I. Major Moor house had number OF
excellent mountain scenes which Mr..
McMurray found suitable for the
Forthcoming books and these will ap.
pear with suitable reading matter in
the advertising publications to be is'
sued by the H. rriman people in the
near future.
In regard to the heavy travel over
the Hartman lines, Mr.. McMurray
says it is unprecentcd in the history
of western railruading. Every effort
is being made to add gre ter facili-
ties for handling this travel. The
Union Pacific is being practically
double tracked from end to end and
several millions are being spent in
improvements and new equipment for
the o. r.. q N. and Shot Line. With.
in a short time the en- ire Hartman
system will he practically rebuilt, sc
vast are the improvements now being
completed. East Oregonian.
