MAKE WARFARE ON SCALE.
Marion County Fruitmen Learning to
Fight Dread Pest.

Salem-The most practical, interest
ing and instructive discussion of San
Jose scale ever given in Marion county
was heard here last week when Coun-
ty Fruit Inspector E. G. Armstrong ad-
dressed the meeting of the Marion
County Horticultural society. About
200 growers of Marion and Polk coun-
ties were present, and it was the unan
imous opinion that if similar talks and
demonstrations were given in every
part Of the Willamette valley this win
ter, it would be but short time until
the great enemy of the fruit industry
would be under control. That very
large number of growers do not know
scale when they see it, and therefore
are in very poor position to fight it,
was evident. Mr.. Armstrong made his
address 80 plain and illustrated 1t 80
fully that no one who was present will
ever have trouble in distinguishing this
pest.

Storm in East,

Chicago, Jan. l4.-Chicago and its
enviIons were cut off for several hours
yesterday from wire communications
from other points by snow and wind
storm which began before dawn and
ragged without break all day. Snow
continues to fall. A northwest gale
drove binding masses of wet snow be-
fore it. The warmth of the atmosphere
caused the heavy fakes partly to melt
and stick to whatever they touched.
As consequence overburdened wires
and poles were put out of commission
in all directions for hours.

Estimates Too Low.

Washington, Jan. l1.-Because cf
changed conditions from those existing
in 1905, when the minority of the board
of consulting engineers of the Pana-
ma canal submitted its report, it is now
admitted in responsible quarters that
the estimate made by that report for
building the canal was far too low and
that the cost may approximate $780,
OOO,00 This includes various incl
dental items, such as administration,
sanitation and improvements aggregat-
ing several millions of dollars in Pana-
ma and Colon, which, however, will be,
refunded by the Panama government,
and the expenses of the zone govern.
ment and various expenses incidental
to the relocation and acquisition of the,
Panama railroad.
The estimate of the board in 1905
was that the cost would be $139,
765, 200, but this estimate did not in
clude expenses on account of interest,
during construction, sanitation and
zone government.

HARLAN SEES WAR.
White and yellow Races Must Fight
for Supremacy.


Washington, Jan. 13.-Justice John
M. Harlan, Of the Supreme court of the
United States, peered into the distant
future at the annual dinner of the Navy
league OF the United States and told of
day when the white and yellow races
will meet in a conflict that will shake
the earth. The distinguished jurist
was speaking in the interest OF a mighty
American navy. He said:
"If l had the opportunity would
vote for an appropriation Of $50, ,O0O,-
900 year for period of ten years for
a larger navy. The great importance
of navy is shown in the constitution,
which restricts the appropriations for
the army, but sets no limit to those for
the navy. There is no such thing as
friendship between nations as between
men. Nations make no sacrifices to
preserve friendship and do not forbear
to do certain things because it does not
meet with the approval of another pa-
tion. Do you think England cares a
cent for what we think of her navy, or
Germany cares cent for what we think
Of hers?
"The trend Of the immigration of the
white people in the past has been from
east to west. There has been none
from the west. Just across the water
there is country with an immense
population whose commerce we are
seeking. We refer to the people of
Asia as the yellow race. There are
400, 100000 Chinese, as strong physi-
cally and mentally as we are. There is
over there another nation whose people
are progressive and ambitious. We
may some day see skilled army in
Japan of 100000 to 10,O00,0O0.
They will say:
"'You claim Europe as your country.
This is ours. Getsout.' "
81 don't think they have any such
idea now, and we have no hostility to-
ward them. But there will be con-
fiict between the yellow race and the
white race that will shake the earth.
When it comes l want to see this coun-
try with a navy on both oceans that
will be strong eonugh."

Rent Strikers Evicted,

New York, Jan. 11.-Eighty evic-
ticns Of East Side rent strikers took
place today, and Monroe street was
filled with a picturesque litter of dis
placed furnishings. 1t is believed that
the strike situation is now near a solu-
tion, and claims Of victory are being
made by both sides. The Indications
are that the honors are about even for,
although most Of the tenants paid the
rent asked when they saw that eviction
was inevitable il they longer refused,
others obtained concessions from land
lords.

To Develop Oregon Borax.

Burns-The Oregon Borax company,
Of which Joseph CASTOR, of Portland,
is president, has commenced the work

posits at Alkali lake, on the edge of

DALLAS AFTER A CANNERY.
Fruitmen Believe They Will Have a
Market for Crop.

Dallas-A committee appointd at the
meeting of the Horticultural society
last week for the purpose Of securing
the cooperation of the fruit raisers of
this vicinity in the establishing Of a
cannery at Dallas, is hard at work.
With the exception Of the berry crop,
sufficient fruit is raised within a radius
of five miles around Dallas to easily
support cannery, and it is believed
that the establishment of that industry
in this city will result in the planting
of enough Of the small fruits to keep
the cannery in operation during the en-
tire season each year.
A company will be formed aud the
farmers, fruitgrowers and business men
will be solicited to take stock in it.
Heretofore the fruit crops Of this vicin-
ity were shipped to the canneries in
Salem and Newberg.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
NEW KLAMATH INDUSTRY
Stockmen Organize Company to Op-
crate Packing House.


Merrill-The organization Of the Kla-
math Packing & Commercial company,
incorporated is about complete. The
capital stock is $4,000
The company has purchased of N. S.
Merrill ten acres of land al the foot of
Front strset, bordering on Lost river.
The object of the concern will be to
pack and ship all kinds of meat. Dur
ing the past season over $4,000 head Of
cattle and sheep have been driven
through this city to Montague and
thence shipped to Sacramento and Oak
land, where they are slaughtered for
market.
There are many conditions which
make this long drive and shipment un-
satisfactory. Among these are the loss
of flesh on the 100-mile drive, the dam
aging of meat caused by the goad stick
Of the bartender, the fevered condition
resulting from the close confinement,
the cramped position in the crowded
cars, and the general unfitness for
market of the four footers upon arrival
at their destination.
The slaughter of these animals in
this county will insure perfectly health
full and palatable meat, will eliminate
the shrinkage, and will double the
profits Of the stock raiser, as he will
receive not only his first profit as pro-
ducer, but as stockholder in the COM
pany will receive second profit as
wholesaler.
Because Of the lateness Of the season,
comparatively little work can be done
this year, but the company will be put
upon working basis and several hun
dred head of hogs will be converted
into hams, bacon and lard. Early next
spring conveniences for the preparation
of all by products will be installed.

Nevada Must Net Shirk Responsible
ity. Says President.

ity, Says President.
Washington, Jan. IA. - President
Roosevelt has determined to withdraw
the Federal troops from Gold6eld, New,
shortly sftr the legislature begins its
special session today. This intention
was made known at the White House
today, when the report of the special
investigation commission was made
public, together with letter from the
president to Governor Sparks, dated
January 4. The president says he
shall be governed by the recommended
tions in the report unless the governor
can show that the statements of the re-
port are not in accordance with the
facts. The report says:
"The conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governors
request for troops, nor were his specific
statements esta blished to any such ex-
tent as to justify his use of these state
ments for the purpose of getting Fede
raj troops"
"But we must firmly believe that
upon the assembling of the legislature,
or within a few days thereafter, the
troops should be removed, regardless of
any request for their retention that
may be made by either the legislature
or the governor of Nevada, it being es-
sential that the state of Nevada shall
understand this situation completely
shall recognize the fact that there will,
at that date be thrown upon it, and it
alone, the primary responsibility of
keeping order, and that, recognizing
this responsibility, it may take such
action as is the duty Of the state and as
will be sufficient in the premises.
