that the commander-in-c chief of the fleet,
who hauls down his flag today from the
truck of the Connecticut, might appear
for a few moments, but it was not
known until well along in the progress
of the dinner that he was actually well
enough to do so. The admiral was

FLEET VISITORS VICTIMS.
Petty SwindIers Sell Bogus Tickets
for Trips to Warships.

San Francisco, May 12.-The thou
sands who wished to visit the warships
today furnished a rich harvest field for
a number of petty swindlers. Bogus
tickets were sold without interference
from the police by venders who repre-
sented no launch company whatever.
None but invited guests were taken on
the flagship, although thousands bought
tickets which they thought would en-
able them to board the Connecticut, and
many Of the excursion steamers did not
land passengers on any warship, but
merely cruised among them.
Because his indignant passengers de-
manded the return Of their money when
he failed to land them on the battle
ship Vermont today, Captain Henry
Frisch, of the excursion steamer st.
Helen, drew a revolver and threatened
to shoot John Babcock, the spokesman
of the protesting excursionists. Police
Officer Charles Wedeking was on the
dock when the trouble began, and ht
lost no time in disarming the steamboat
captain

GRANTS PASS.-An investigation
party has returned from Williams Creek,
the scene of the reported rich strike of
gold, and find that between $4,000 and
$1,000 have been extracted by Morrison
Bros. & Jones in three days, and they
are still pounding out rich rock. 1t
was found difficult to get particulars Of
the full amount extracted, as the oper-
ators Were inclined to be reticent, fear
ing stampede of prospectors to their
camp. This new strike is only short
distance from the Jones Bros marble
quarry and about two miles from this
city.

Richmond, Va, May 12.-Dealing
with the worldwide topic of children,
their education, training and the evil
of driving them under steam pressure
at the wheel when their frail limbs and
bodies are too weak to stand the terri
bic punishment and strain, the session
of the National Conference of Charities
and Corrections at st. Paul. Church
tonight aroused the public to the i'm
portance of adequate laws to protect
them from the evils of the factory
work. Professor w. II. Hand, of the
University of South Carolina, pointed
out the imperative demand for compul-
sorry education.

PREPARE FOR CHERRY FAIR.
Salem Exposition to Surpass That of
Last Year.

Salem.-Extensive preparations are
being made for the annual cherry fair
to be held in Salem about the first of
July, and from information received
it is apparent that the fair this year
will surpass that of 1907. Cherry
growers at The Dalles are planning to
come to the Salem fair and capture the
best of the prizes in competition with
Willamette Valley growers. Last year
80 silver cups and as many diplomas
were offered as premiums. This year
the number will be considerably in
creased, an effort being made to offer
a premium for every class of fruit ripe
at that season of the year. Special at
tention will be given to cherries in com
mercial pack. The Salem Board of
Trade has taken charge of the prelimi-
nary arrangements, and has commit
tees at work.

Angers Stanford Faculty.

Stanford University, Cal, May 8
On account of "joshes' on Professor
Clark and President Jordan contained
in the 1909 "Quad," the Stanford book
store today refused to sell the book.
after making an agreement to do so
with the manager of the book, D. w.
Burbank. The manager of the book
store refused to give any reason for his
change of mind, but as the corporation
is controlled by faculty members, it is
that some of the stockhold-
ers prevented the sales as means of
retaliation for the joshes on the faculty.

NONE SAY GOODBYE.
venezuelans Show No Courtesy to
Minister Russell.


Willemstadt. May l2.-W. w. Russell,
the American Minister to Venezuela,
sailed from here today on the steamship
Caracas for the United States, where he
will spend his vacation of two months.
The American Minister arrived here
from Puerto Cabello, sailing from that
port yesterday afternoon after visit
to the United States gunboat Paduach.
His departure from Puerto Cabello was
signalized by salute of Is guns. That
there is tension in the diplomatic rela-
tions between the United States and
Venezuela was shown in the fact that
none of the local officials was on hand
to bid Mr., Russell goodbye.
Thomas p. Moffatt, the American Con-
sui at La Guaira, is still in that city
without neans of communication be-
cause Of the plague, and it is feared
without necessities of life.
1t is thought that the United States
may send gunboat there for the pur-
pose of transferring the consul, because
at present there are no American in
terests requiring his presence.
President Castro s decree shutting off
La Guaira may be prolonged indefinitely
or until full week passes without new
cases of plague appearing. There is
great distress among the unemployed, of
which the number is large. Merchants
in La Guaira are doing little business,
and are no longer able to support the
poor. An appeal has been made to the
chamber of commerce in Caracas for
help. A second relief train was sent to
the isloated city yesterday with pro
visions. The death list is growing, and
the whole town seems to be infected.

Chicago, May 9.-Commercial and
manufacturing interests of cities from
the Mississippi River to Maine, aggre-
eating over $l,O00000,0OO in capital.
are preparing for a titanic struggle
with the Eastern railroads. The ques-
tion of general advance in freight
rates is the issue. The gauntlet was
thrown down by the railroads in the
shape of a definite announcement that
on July l and August ] general ad-
vance of freight rates approximating
10 per cent will be made east of the
Mississippi River. The great shippers
and manufacturers have lost no time
in accepting the gauge of combat.
The first movement in arraying tho
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests of the affected territory in a solid
phalanx against the Eastern railroad
systems was made yesterday by the H.
linois Manufacturers Association. 1t
quickly was followed by the Chicago
Association of America. The former is
sued q call for a great conference to be
held in Chicago next Friday of all the
commercial and industrial organizations
of the eastern section of the country.
The meeting will map out a general
line of battle.

GATHER AT WHITE HOUSE.
Governors Confer With President on
Conservation of Resources.


Washington, May 11-History will
be made at this weeks White House
conference on natural resources. For
history making conditions are remark.
ably favorable. Never before has a
President of the United States con.
ferred with all the governors of the
states. Never before has the White
House, With its long record of social
and state functions sheltered a large
convention called for the consideration
of great public issue. And never be.
fore has the whole broad question of
the conservation of this country's nat
ural resources been brought before a
great deliberate body as the sole sub.
ject of it's consideration.
The reception accorded to this project
indicates that the people of the country
expect definite results of a far-reaching
character. After hearing from experts
the conditions the country is facing, the
members of the conference will them
selves decide whether anything ought
to be done, and what. Some have sug-
rested the advisability Of forming a
great national organization to carry
forward the plans originated in the
conference. The probability as that, at
the least, some basis will be laid for
future cooperation between the fed
eral and state governments in a vigor-
Gus policy of conservation, for one Of
the things which will be shown most
forcibly at the conference is that
neither the states nor the federal gov
ernment can make satisfactory headwayN

for repairing the drcdgc Chinook. The
Senator had a conference with the chief

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
CROPS LOOK WELL.
Conditions Are Excellent Throughout
Josephine County.

Josephine County.
GRANTS PASS.-The general devel.
opment and progress of farm work in
Josephine County has been far-reaching
during the winter months, and the open
ing of spring has found many acres
ready for fruit trees and berries, which
will be set out. A splendid rain has
been falling, and this will increase the
hay crop and late sown grain, and gives
assurance of heavy yields. A trip over
the county shows that an enormous
amount of work has been going on in
clearing land and planting out orchards,
besides much has been accomplished in
other directions toward developing the
farming communities.
A never failing crop for this part of
Rogue River Valley is the strawberry,
which grows everywhere, and will pro
duce two revenue crops each year, ow.
ing to the climatic conditions This is
feature unknown to Hood River rails
ers, and perhaps to any other part of
the state. 1t is not an unusual sight to
see berries almost all the year around;
in fact, they are on the market from
May until Christmas.
With the industrial hum and swing
felt everywhere, the prospects for the
future were never better. The lumber
season is opening well, and during the
summer there will be about 80 mills in
this vicinity saving the sugar pine of
Southern Oregon into material for the
factoriea
