The CALIFORNIA QUAKE.
Its Relation 20 the New Island In
Bering Sen.

Its Relation 20 the New Island In
BerinE Sen.
A question that will probably be long
debated among geologists and that DOS
sesses keen interest for the people
of San Francisco and the Pacific coast
In general is whether the new steam
belching island thrust up from the bot
tom Of Berlng sea coincidently with
the occurrence OF the San Francisco
earthquake had any casual connection
with that earthquake or not. Just how
close the coincidence was In time be-
tween the birth OF the new volcanic
Island and the shock, 2,0G0 miles away,
cannot be told. because nobody hap
pened to see the prodigious mass of
smoking and steaming lava at the mo-
ment or its emergence from the sea.
1t seems to have come to the surface
and to have attained an elevation Of
several hundred feet without causing
any great disturbance except In its
immediate neigkborhood. But the wa.
ter Is deep around IL, and the imagira.
ton Is stirred ut the thought Of the
immense power that must have acted
beneath the sea bottom in order to
elevate so vast a weight. All the
mightiest engines In the world cou.
pied together could not have lifted q
thousandth part Of II a single foot.
The strongest argument sdducsd IN
support OF the view that there was 8
connection between the upthrustiua Of
this island and the California earth
quake is perhaps tbs fact. pointed out
by President David. Starr Jordan, that
the great earthquake rift, 200 miles In
length, which extended. through tha
coast range in California. would II
produced northward to Bering sea pass
close to the new island. Moreover, thia
rift was greatest and the effects of
the earthquake were most violent
where 1t entered the sea In Mendocino
county. Two hundred miles Is about
one-tenth of the distance separating
San Francisco from the scene of thu
outbreak In Bering sea. That a crack
In the earth's crust of SO great q
length might be formed is possible,
but the absence of concurrent disturb
s>-~SS "a NAC oSo vi uIOuS lnC COAST De
tween California and Alaska seems to
oppose the supposition.
Upon the whole, the evidence thus
FAR obtained favors the view that the
simultaneous occurrence of the two
events was coincidence, but another
curious coincidence must be added In
the eruption of VeSuvius, which hap.
pened so short time before the de.
struction of San Francisco. The truth
no doubt Is that all three of these
great outbreaks Of subterranean forces
as well as the Valparaiso earthquake
later In the summer. were due to q
common cause. For reasons not yet
clearly Disseminated the earth has
paroxysms OF internal disturbance
during which regions separated by
thousands of miles may be stimuli
taneously affected.
Another reason for thinking that the
outbreak In Bering sea was not the
cause of the earthquake IS that severa!
times before new islands have beer
thrust up near the same spot without
any disturbance being felt on the Cali
fornia coast. = Garrett p. Serviss

times as criminal as the white man. In
the Whole North there are twelve white
prisoners to 10000 white inhabitants
and 60 negroes to 10, 600 colored inhab-
itants."
The temperance wave seems to be
gradually spreading over the country.
Twenty-Five thousand of the employees
of the Northwestern Railroad have
signed pledge to abstain from the use
of intoxicating drinks. AS matter of
business prudence the management of
the railroad adopteda policy of discrim-
ination fayoring sobriety on the part of
employees. AS a matter of self protec-
tion the employees made mutual con-
tract of-.abstenation. A contemporary
very sensibly says that this is the kind
of prohibition that prohibits. Snap
shot photographs of railroad employees
caught in the act of drinking liquor, in
saloons, have created CONSERVATION
among hundreds of employees of the
Louisville and Nashville and the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railroads. The first
sequel to this crusade against the liquor
habit, which has been inaugurated by
Chesapeake and Ohio officials, has been
the suspension of a number of train
men and engineers.

Big Fruit Yield ON snake River.

The outlook for the fruit Industry
on Snake river is bright and growers
are looking tOI OIward 10 a prosperous
season. j. W. Otiield, who owns an
orchard OF 20 acres across the river,
on the Garfield county side, two miles
below Wawawai, is in town with load
of fruit and reports conditions en-
couragiDg Mr.. Oltield has contracted
all of his fruit that is tit for shipping
long distances at prices a. good as or
better than he received last year.
Foi peaches, averaging 80 or less to
the box, he gets 40 cents, the same
price he received last year. Apricots,
plums and pIunes ale contracted at
40 cents per crate, an advance of 5
cents over last years prices. Pears
are sold tor so cents per box, as
against 70 cents last season. He did
not contract his cherry crop, but con-
signed it and got an average OF 40
cents per box, at the wharf, which,
while not a big price, leaves some
profit and be is satisfied with its re-
turn for this year, when the cherry
crop was enormous, and, owing to
railroad blockades, the market was
glutted at time when the bulk of the
crop was ready for market. Mr..
Olfield had 2000 boxes of cherries this
season.
He has one of the best vineyards on
the Snake river and it is not irrigat-
ed. The grapes are planted on a high
Iise and can not be irrigated, but the
vines are thrifty and while only four
years old, have yielded we'll, giving an
average Of crate to the vine last
year. 1t is believed the Snake river
orchards will produce more fruit tLan

Argument for Good Roads.

Hon. Wilbur X. Newell, president of
the Oregon State Board of Horticul-
ture, and equally we'll known in Wash
ington, has, at the request OF the Ore
gon Development League, condensed
his ideas on good roads into one hun
dred words, and they tell the story:
"Bad roads nullify advertising, Ie-
pei immigration, increase cost of liv-
ing, render the automobile useless and
deprive the farmer of rural free deliv-
cry.
Estate aid and supervision Of road
construction is essential.
''ln equity-because public bene-
fit, state should pgy 25 per cent of the
cost, county so per cent and the ad
jacent property % per cent.
''Fol thoroughness- trained engl-
neers and strict supervision of all
work
"For economy-levy taxes and7pay
as we 60, or on short time certificate
plan.
"For education-regular and COZ
respondence courses in road building
at Oregon Agricultural College and
University of Oregon.
"Let us build good roads all sum

Strike Coal at Madras.

Although the news was not made
public at the time, the Madras Oil Il
Gas company drilled into a vein of
good looking eonl In the hole which
they we're sinking on the west slope
of Grizzly. The coal was encountered
at depth of $50 feet and appears to
he of fine quality, but the extent Of
it is not known, as the work was sus.
pended just after the coal was struck,
the machinery being too light to carry
the hole to a much greater depth.
When the work was suspended, Frank
Forest, president Of the company, LETT
for California to buy heavier machin-
cry. He did not buy in California,
however, but placed an order with an
eastern firm through their Portland
representatives, tor a standard drill
ing nutiit and other machinery, max
ing up car load lot, and this will be
received within the next six weeks.
In the meantime the drill on the
ground will be used In prospecting
the coal discovery, to ascertain the
thickness of the vein and IT Is prob
allie that further investigation Of the
coal prospect will prove it to be Of
sff1cieut extent to be of great import
ance. The discovery OF good quality
of coal In Crook county would be of
immense importance in the develop
ment of this section, measureably by
the extent OF the coal deposits uncov-
cred, and the exploration Of their dis
covery by the local prospecting COM
pany will be watched with much in

surveying Railroad for Central Oregon

Robert Rea and the party of Central
Oregon surveyors reached Madras the
last OF the week, having practically
completed the survey for the project
ed line between this place and Oneil.
They came to Madras last Friday eve
ming and pitched their camp, and
next day "backed up" three miles on
the survey in order to make some
slight chang III the line where it
comes into Madras. lhe new survey
practically follows the old Columbia
Southern survey, though few
changes have been made where the
line comes into Madras and where it
crosses Crooked liver, near Oneil, a
slight reduction in the grade having
been found possible at both of these
places. The old survey got out of
Crooked river on l.6 pei cent grade
and out of Willow creek basin on
practically the same, while the new
survey reduces the grade about i per
cent, so that the heaviest grade on
the line will be IL Ier cent. Mad

Interesting Items Of Fruit.

The shipments Of fresh deciduous
fruits from California up to June "A
this year were $50 cars, compared
with 392 cars up to the same date last
year; 1893 cars Of cherries we're ship
ped as against 93 last year.
1he Allen cannery, at Eugene, has
packed 5000 cases OF Royal Ann cher
ries this year against 60O0 cases last
year. The total output of canned
cherries for this season from the can
neiy Is said by the Guard to have
amounted to $50 tons. The large
seasons operations was due to the ar
rengement with the Fruit and Vegeta-
BILE Growers Association.
Sixty.one carloads Of pears, peaches
and plums were shipped east from
Sacramento, CAL, July q. This is
said to have beaten all previous rec
ords for a single days shipment from
that state. The next highest record
was 40 cars for one day in 1902.
A number OF claims have been pub
lished lately in different counties in
Oregon as to the location Of the laIg-
est cherry troe In the state. None of
the trees which have so far this year
been mentioned equals either In size
or in average value of crops the we'll
known Royal Ann tree near Newberg.
There is large cherry tree near
Olympia, WASH, which is reported to
be about the same size as the New berg
tree, and those two are probably the
largest cherry trees in the Pacific
Northwest. There Is, or was, a few
years ago, a very large Black Republi-
can cherry tree at Vancouver, Wash.
In one year, about II years ago, its
marketed crop amounted to over 26O0
pounds, and brought it's owner about
