process is a revelation OF scientific
progress, the result Of sixty years pur-
suit Of all the best known methods In

Corn From Dry Land.

Justice T. C. Haley today left al
the office of the East oregonian, a
sample of corn taken from a 10-acre
tract grown on the crest of a high
hill on his Wild Horse creek farm
The stalks are over seven feet in
height and the ears are we'll filled
and of large size. From the general
appearance OF the samples 1t is esti-
mated that the crop will yield about
25 bushels per acre. Judge HALEY
will plant a larger quantity next year,
and hopes to see portions of Umatilla
county become prominent for the pro
duction of corn.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
Navy Department VIII Improve War.
ship Management.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 1.-Strong
measures will be taken by the navy
department to prevent recurrence of
warship accidents such as have oc-
CURED altogether too often in recent
months. In January two of the bat
tleshpis starting for the maneuvers
off Cuba collided and were laid up for
repairs. Norfolk was next the scene
of collision between two torpedo
boats, in which one barely escaped
sinking. Then the Rhode Island got
into trouble again, and her captain
has been suspended from duty for six
months for grounding his vessel off
the Virginia coast last May The COL
lision between the Alabama and the
Illinois off Newport was an even more
serious affair. Two of the officers of
the Alabama have been recommended
for courtmartial. Lastly, the ground
ing of the cruiser Boston off the coast
of Washington has still further added
to the list of accidents already too
long.
These mishaps have centered at
tention on the means of safety with
which all new United States battle
ships are provided in the form of elec-
trically operated power doors. An ex-
naval officer, who is thoroughly IA
miliar with this subject, says: ut is
practically impossible to carry out the
collision quarters drill IN really
effective manner and close all water
tight doors and matches within a safe
period by hand. With Long Arm
| electrical power doors the means and
method of avoiding a catastrophe are
entirely different. When the ship en-
| ters a dangerous locality the officer
| of the deck closes all the doors from
the bridge by means of the emergency
station, connected with motors on each
! door by electrical conductors. He
knows that the doors have respond
ed by the glowing of the indicator
lamps at the station.
"The whole operation means thai
the ship is made safe in time; that the
bulkhead doors vital to her safety car
| always be closed and the ship rem
dered unsuitable. The Victoria
Camperdown disaster could not bt
duplicated with any of our new Ships
for the reason that their commander
always have at hand a means of clos
ing the bulkhead doors, without re
gard to what the crew may do"

SILVER WOULDN'T PRAY
There Was Too Much Confusion il
Washburn Chapel.

Because the students persisted in
giggling and refused to be frowned
down, Prof Ward W. Silver refused
to pray at the chapel exercises at
Washburn yesterday and called off the
further devotional exercises.
Prof. Silver was in charge of the
chapel exercises and was reading some
scriptural passages when the first In
corruption came. The professor stopped
his reading long enough to frOwn down
upon his irreverent hearers. This in
duced more merriment. Then some one
scuffled his feet. Then another smoker
of larger proportions. Even the grave
and reverend seniors became infected
with the contagion. The professor be-
came angered, his frowning had no eff
feet to abate the increasing confusion
in the pews.
Disguised. he called an end to the
further devotional exercises. Several
of the students started to arise and
leave the chapel but Dean McEachron
arose and announced a hymn and the
dignity of the exercises was saved.
