MORE CARS IN SERVICE.
Decrease of 3O,37I in Number Idle
Helps Railroads.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Another big boost
toward prosperity is indicated by a
weekly report of the car efficiency com
mittee of the American Railway asso-
citation, which was issued Saturday.
The total Of surplus cars on railroads
of the United States and Canada has
been reduced to 222 2,632, decrease of
30.371 since the last report. OF this
decrease. 21,723 are boxcars and 1883
coal and gondola
The decrease in boxcars is the largest
since the maximum surplus of 413,605
was reached. An increasing activity in
repairing cars is shown by reduction
of 1862 in the number of bad order
cars.
Small shortages are reported on few
railroads, the shortages totaling 1,4l8.
Regarding this condition, Arthur Hale,
chairman of the committee. says:
Whenever these shortages are of
such nature and extent as to justify
action by the committee, conditions are
brought to the attention of the roads
reporting a surplus, and arrangements
are made to transfer equipment to the
roads having use for it,

SWITCH CAUSES DISASTER.
Thirty-Four Passengers Injured ir
Wreck in East.

Meadville, Pa, Sept. 15.-Thirty-four
persons were injured in the wreck of
Erie train No. 4, Chicago to New York
express, at Geneva, Pa, small station
eight miles west of here. The wreck,
railroad officials believe, was due to
persons having grievance against the
company opening switch shortly be-
fore the passenger train arrived. The
injured were brought to this city and
% were taken to Spencer hospital.
Five, after having their injuries
dressed, were discharged, while is still
remain at the hospital.
Thirty one Of the injured were pas
sengers and three railroad employees. A
majority of the former were Italian and
Greek laborers. 1t is not believed any
of the victims will die.
The train is due here at 1850 A. NJ,
but was an hour late and was running
over 80 miles an hour. Upon striking
the open switch the entire train left the
track, the locomotive turning over upon
IFS side. Two of the cars, a combina-
ton smoker and baggage car and day
coach were demolished. A majority of
the injured were riding in the combina-
tiOn car,

AlRSHIPS ARE CRUDE.
Edison Criticizes Both Dirigibe Bal
loon and AeropIane.

Seattle, Sept. 14.-Thomas A. Edison,
the noted inventor, who is taking a
vacation on the Pacific Coast, says that
neither the aeroplane nor the dirigible
balloon will successfully solve the ques-
ton of navigating the air. Asked If,
in giving up the commercial side of his
work, he would make a study of the
airship, he said
cit is likely that I shall pay some
attention to the navigation of the air.
| have done so in the past, but | had
not the time to make serious effort. |
am firmly convinced that the time is
near at hand when it will be possible to
sail through the air as easily and as
safely as we now go by land or by
water.
q have little faith in the aeroplane
or the balloon as means of aerial
navigation. The aeroplane of the
Wright brothers depends too much on
the personal equation. Place some
other man in that earoplane and it
would not work. 1t depends upon the
skillful handling of the machine by the
inventor
cit is also unlikely that the efforts
of inventors who have pinned their
faith to the dirigble balloon will meet
with success. When you have some
thing that is lighter than air it is ap-
parent even to the layman that it is a
toy of the winds. II is waited about
like a thistledown when a strong wind
is blowing. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon will be improved, l
have no doubt, but / look to see the
application of principle different from
either in the successful airship.'

NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
APPLE SALES SLOW.
Dealer Looks for Improved Market
Later in the Season.

Dealer Looks for improved Market
Later in the Season.
Hood River-H. F. Davidson, presi-
dent of the Davidson Fruit company at
Hood River, has arrived home after an
extended trip through the fruit grow
ing sections of the East and Middle
West. Mr.. Davidson attended the an
nual meeting of the international Ap-
pie Shippers association held at Nj
agara Falls, August and 6, and also
visited the large dealers in New York
and Chicago.
He states that the East, from Mich
igan to the Atlantic coast, will have
good crops of apples this year, but that
the crop in the Middle West is very
light. Until he reached Colorado on
his return trip he found no evidence of
abundant fruit crops and in some Sec
tions of that state the apple yield will
be small.
He states, however, that there is an
abundant yield all over the country this
year of farm produce, particularly
corn. Apart from apples he found big
crops of other varieties of fruits, more
especially pears and peaches.
In none of the districts he visited
had winter apples as yet been bought,
although usually at this season of the
year most of the crops are contracted
for.

FIVE KILLED IN DISASTER.
Collision Between Regular and ex'
cursion Trains.

Chicago, Sept 15.-It is reported that
a wreck has occurred on the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern Railroad, at Ches-
terton, Ind, so miles from Chicago.
Wrecking apparatus and special with
physicians have been sent to the scene
Reports from Chesterton, Ind, were
to the effect that five persons were
killed and more than 20 injured. The
wreck was caused by a collision between
a passenger train which left Chicago at
1880 P. NJ, and which ran into the
rear of an excursion train bound for In
dianapolis via the Lake Erie & West
ern. At the offices Of the railroad
here it was said that but two or three
passengers were injured.
Owing to the isolation of the place,
definite reports were difficult to OBJ
tain. Conflicting reports were given by
the few persons that could be found to
talk about the wreck. The number of
casualties were given all the way from
two injured to five dead and twenty

Monmouth Normal Has Been Main
tanned by Subscription.

Salem.-At a recent meeting of the
executive committee of the normal
school board of regents, President
Ressler, of the Oregon State Normal
School, at Monmouth, was present
and assured the committee that suf-
ficient funds had been secured to
place the school on a maintenance
basis until January l, whgi it is ex-
pected the legislature Wi crappro opriate
enough to maintain all Shree normal

ness men of Monmouth and neighbor
ing towns.
A meeting of the normal school
board of regents will be held at Salem
next month for the purpose of making
recommendations to the legislature
for the support of the three normal
schools-the Eastern Oregon Normal
School. at Weston. the Southern Ore
gon Normal School, at Ashland, and
the Oregon State Normal School, at
Monmouth. The board at a meeting
in June decided it should recommend
the Central Oregon State Normal
School, at Drain, to be discontinued,
and consequently that school will not
oDen this fall.

BREAKS MORE RECORDS.
Great Aeronaut Excels Former Feats
in Three Particulars.

Washington, Sept. l4.-In two flights
at Fort Myer Saturday afternoon, Or
vile Wright, in the Wright flyer, broke
three records. Staying up nine min
utes and six and one-thrd second in the
first flight in which Major George O.
Squiers, acting chief signal officer, ac-
companied him, Mr.. Weight broke the
record for two-man flight, which he
established on Tuesday. The first
flight was at 4:29 o'clock.
In the second flight, which started
at 5:l7, Mr. Wright broke the record
foc time and distance of heavier
than.air flying machine, which he es-
tablished by remaining in the air for
one hour, fourteen minutes and twenty.
four seconds. In this flight he also
went higher than an aeroplanist has
ever gone, rising to an altitude Of go
feet.
Mr.. Wright also maintained higher
speed than in his other flights at Fort
Myer, travelling around the backgrounds
at the rate of 1915 miles an hour on
the first flight, when Major Squiers
accompanied him.
The distance Of this flight was SIS
miles. In Saturdays flight, Mr.
Wright broke the world 8 record for
time and distance for the fifth time
last week.
A crowd of 5000 persons gathered to
witness the flights and their enthusi-
asm knew no bounds. 1t was all the
cavalry, detailed to guard the aeeoplane
from damage, could do to keep the
crowd back. They cheered Mr.. Wright
until he went away in the signal corps
automobile.

Valley Bumblebees Die.

Oregon City-The red clover crop
in many parts of the Willamette val
ley will not average more than one
third of the usual yield, due to the
absence of bumblebees, which evil
dentlv succumbed to the severe
weather last spring, These bees are
the only insects that successfully pol
lenize the blossoms, moving about
the fields, as the pollen sticks to their
fuzzy legs. The honeybee performs
like service for the alsike clover,
which has more open blossom than
the red clover. Seed was worth
about 10 cents a pound last season,
and it will probably take a sharp ad-
vance. This is the first season in the
memory of Willamette valley farmers
that bum blebees are not plentiful.
Yellow Jackets have entirely disap-
peared.

GERMANS SEEK NO FIGHT.
Won Buelow Declares His Nation Has
No Chip on Shoulder.

London, Sept. 15.-The Standard yes
terday morning printed long interview
with Prince Won Buelow, the German
chancellor at Norderney.
With reference to British apprehen-
sion in the matter of German naval
aggression, the chancellor things that it
would be more natural and excusable
if the Germans were apprehensive of
being attacked, pointing out that Great
Britain has not been invaded since the
time of William the COnqueror. Con-
tinuing. Prince Won Buelow said:
~ can assure you that nobody of any
sense or influence in Germany dreams
of picking a quarrel with the English;
much less is there any such insane idea
as that of invading England.'

Quality, Not the Price.

The Dalles-Apple growers of this
vicinity and of Hood River are not very
much alarmed over the prospects of an
advance in apple rates to eastern points,
as the concensus of opinion is that as
the apples of this vicinity and Hood
River are principally shipped to New
York and other far eastern points for
consumption by the wealthy class that
few cents additional per box will not
make any difference. The Oregon ap-
pies are carefully packed and selected
and are much in demand by the wealthy
epicures of the east, while the poorer
classes buy the cheaper Minnesota,
Michigan and New York apples, which
are not selected and which are sold in
barrels, and are not selected or packet
and are not worth so much.

NEW COINS DEFECTIVE.
ST. Gaudens Twentes Do Not STACK"
With Old Ones.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-Activity
at the San Francisco mint in the coin
ing of the st. Gaudens gold pieces has
been suspended. The first few days
output amounted to $430, 900, but the
double eagles, it has been found, will
not "stack" with the old coins of the
same denomination. In stack of $40O
the new coins are half the thickness of
a piece short. While the double eagles
again bear the legend 'In God We
Trust" it has been learned that the
trust is not of ten-dolar dimensions.
Superintendent Sweeney received a
telegram from Washington saying,
"Coin eagles with In God We Trust "
In due time a letter was received by
him from Washington authorities
which read, "We wired you as fol-
lows: "Coin no eagles with In God
We Trust. q This we beg leave to con-
firm"
The coinage of the eagles stopped
and the money presses are idle, await
ing instructions.

about horse race they had lost, and
Murphy interfered in behalf of the lad
A mob quickly pursuer and overlook

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 12.-Unless a
heavy rain falls within the next 48
hours, the total destruction by forest
fires of every town on the north shore
of Lake Superior in Cook county is al
most certain. No rain has fallen in
this district since July 10 and every
thing in the woods is as dry as parch-
ment. Last evening the walls of fire,
with heavy wind behind them, ex-
tended all the way to the settlements.
Wild-eyed and shaking with fear,
the inhabitants are gathered along the
shore prepared to take to the lake in
small craft should the worst come.
Within less than two miles Of Grand
Marais, a town of 1,500, there is in
flames tract of spruce and brush over
three miles in length. A strong land
breeze from the northwest is at pres
ent shooting the fire along the out
skirts of the town, giving the village a
lease of life.
The training ship Gopher, which
brought the naval militia to aid in
fighting the fire, is in the harbor and is
taking women and children aboard. The
ship was welcomed with tears of joy
on her arrival, and only the aid of the
militia has saved the town up to this
time.
Conditions at Pigeon River Indian
Reservation, at Big bay, Chicago bay,
Cascade, Cotton and Nutson, are SIM
liar to those existing at Grand Marais.
Beaver bay, on Lake Superior, so miles
northeast of Duluth, is reported to be

BEATS OWN TIME.
Wright Flies AeropIane for Over TO
Minutes.

Washington, Sept. I'm flight
lasting one hour, ten minutes and 26
seconds, Orville Wright late yesterday
surpassed all his previous exploits for
time and distance flight for heavier
than air machine.
Two flights were made at Fort Mey-
er, Va, yesterday, the first being of
ten minutes and so seconds duration,
for the purpose of showing what rate
of speed he had been travelling during
his long flights of the past three days.
Yesterdays test demonstrated, accord
ing to the aviator's calculations, that
the speed of the aeroplane during the
record-breaking flights of Wednesday
and Thursday was 1886 miles an hour.
The majority of those who witnessed
the long flight were reused to great
enthusiasm when the aviator for the
third successive day broke his previous
record.

Ukiah, CAL, Sept. 12.-The strike
situation here has quieted down con-
siderably during the past few days and
today there was no violence reported
from the hop fields. A number of
ranchers finished picking their crops
today. Some of the growers, however,
began on their crops today and this
will prolong the season. The fruit
cannery is short handed and it is
feared that there will not be enough
help to put up the fruit crop unless
more men can be imported from San

Quake Loss Very Light.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-On Au-
gust Is story was sent out under
date of Eureka, CAL, telling of an
earthquake at that place on that date.
A careful investigation of the damage
done has determined that the extent of
the loss was exaggerated. Instead of
being $4,000, the damage probably did
not exceed 5000 or $500. The dispatch
came to the Associated Press from
source which was believed to be entirely
reliable.

Forest Fires Abating.

Duluth, Sept. 15.-Clouds and an alb
sence OF wind gave the Mesaba Range a
dav of quiet Sunday and the forest fire
ceased to be a menace in this locality.
No rain has fallen and the situation will
be serious until moisture puts an end to
the smoldering fires. Grand Marais, on
the north shore of Lake Superior, is con
sidered safe owing to the back-fires
around the little town. The woods Tor
nearly 100 miles along the north shore
are ablaze and millions of feet of stand
ing timber is still in danger.

Depot at Anlauf.

Salem - General Manager j. P.

gon, in communication to the rail-
road commission received a few days
ago states that he has authorized the
erection of platform and depot at
Anlauf for the convenience and ac-
commodation of passengers arriving
and departing. A formal complaint
had been filed the day before by the
farmers near Anlauf, asking for the
establishment of depot at that point.
