MOON DISPROvES PEARY.
Italian Astronomer Points Out Dis.
crepancy in Story.

ROME, Sept. 21-According to the
well-known astronomer, Signor Fran.
cesco Faccia da Schio, of Bergamo, the
moon absolutely disproves Commander
Peary's claim to having discovered the
North Pole
In his dispatch to the New York
Times the explorer states that April 6,
having accomplished the six stages he
had planned, he was favored with an
opening in the clouds which permitted
him to take astronomical observations
From these he established his position
as latitude S9:57.
Signor Faccia points out, however,
that unquestionably accurate astrono-
mical calculations show that with the
horizon at S9:57 the moon could not be
seen at the time indicated by Com
mander Peary, because from midday,
April 5, Paris time, or clock, central
standard time, the declnation of the
moon became negative, that is to say,
the moon was below the equator, which
is the natural horizon of the pole.

TRANSFER is URGED,
forestry Service May Be Put Under
Interior Department.

Washington, September 21-As a re-
suit of the Pinchot- Ballinger row, the
administration may later determine to
recommend the transfer of the forest
service from the department of agricul-
ture to the department of the interior.
Such change can only be made by act
of congress, and it probably would call
for considerable pressure from the presi-
dent in order to get the Necessary au-
thority, especially if Clifford Pinchot is
permitted to remain as chief forester.
The forest service. in the opinion of
most Western men in congress-, is mis-
placed in the department of agricul-
ture. It has nothing in common with
the other bureaus of that department,
but has much in common with the gen
eral land office and geological survey,
both of which are bureaus of the de-
partment of the interior. In its pres
ent situation, the forest service is, or
until recently was, in effect an indie
pendent bureau, subject to only nominal
by a cabinet officer That
is why the forest service was allowed
TO grow up in the agricultural depart
ment. and that is why Mr.. Pinchot has
always opposed transfer to the interior

AMERICAN SURGEONS LEAD.
Doctor Says Foolish to Go Abroad
for Treatment.

New York, Sept. 20.-Dr. Lewis Liv-
ingston Seaman, one of the delegates
to the recent international medical con-
gress at Budapest, arrived on the
steamer Campania from Liverpool, and
spoke encouragingly on the showing
made by America and the success of
the congress.
"The Americans are far ahead of
other nations in many branches of sur
gerry and medicine,' said Dr. Seaman,
''as shown by the testimony and the
exhibits at the congress, This is par,
ticularly true in the case of appendi-
citis, where we excel both in the treat
ment of the disease and the technique
of the. operation"
Speaking generally, DR.. Seaman said
it was the height of insanity for Ameri
cans to go abroad for treatment by
foreign specialists when there are ply
sicians at home who could "walk all
around" the European medical men.

CANADA'S GREAT CROP.
Yield Estimated at 1853, 1886, 900 Bush
els of Wheat

Ottawa, Sept. 2l.-An official state
ment of the grain harvest of Canada
has just been issued by the government
1t gives estimates of production, com
puted from reports of a large staff of
correspondents, and although totals are
somewhat less than those of month
ago for wheat and barley, they still
show that Canada has reaped an i'm.
mense harvest.
The wheat crop is put down at 16S,-
$4,000 bushels, giving an average of %
bushels an acre, and barley at $1,000
600 bushels, or 81 bushels an acre. The
yield of oats is 355, 100000, or 3S bush,
els an acre.
One thing is assured, that the Cana,
dians have reaped the biggest and most
profitable grain crop the country ever
has produced, and with present prices
they will have an enormous sum added
to their spending powers. 1t is esti.
mated that a surplus of $10O,OO0,OOO
will go into the pockets of the farmers.

Graft in Russia.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 21.-Despite the
secrecy of the Russian war office, a
scandal which promises to involve prom
inent officials in the army has leaked
out. A general in command of the
provinces had for years been drawing
pay for the officers and the men of a
six gun field battery which exists only
on paper. To keep the fraud from be
ing discovered, the general showed the
same battery twice to the inspecting of
fcers who visited his barracks occasion
ally. He would show one battery. then
another, and while the inspecting off
GERS were viewing the second, the first
battery would be rushed to another gar
rison. where the troopers were rein
spected

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
MAMMOTH IN OREGON.
Bones OF Prehistoric Animal Are of
Great Interest.


Great Interest.
Pendleton-After lying undisturbed
for untold centuries, the skeleton of
some monstrous prehistoric animal has
been disinterred on the Orville Elder
ranch, in Stage gulch, Is miles north
west of here. Judging from the size
of the bones which have been uncover
ed, the animal must have weighed
many tons.
To convince the skeptical Elder
brought in tooth which he removed
from the back part of the right jaw
bone. The molar is Ia inches in length,
is more than eight inches thick at the
largest point and has a chewing surface
seven by three and quarter inches.
While the tooth is in a fairly good
state of preservation, the other bones
are not strong enough to bear their
own weight and are easily crushed in
the fingers. There are several pieces
six and eight feet long. One of the
peculiar features of the skeleton was
the remnant of what was evidently a
rhinoceros- like horn on the snout.. This
is only 8 or 10 inches in length, but
might have been much longer in life.

JURY TAMPERlNG FOUND.
Chicago Investigations Promise Huge
Scandal in County Affairs.


Chicago, Sept. 20.-A gigantic con,
fspiracy for the fixing" of grand
juries of Cook county, extending back
over year and eliminating in the
fraudulent certifcation of names for
the October grand jury, was revealed
today, when State IS Attorney Wayman
secured bench warrants for John. j.
Holland, secretary of the Cook county
jury commission; Jury Commissioner
Willis j. Rayburn and Nicholas A. Mar.
tin, Alderman Michael Kenna s secre
tary, on charge of tampering with
jurymen.
The warrants were issued today by
Judge Jesse a. Baldwin, of the circuit
court.
The charge against the three is that
they conspired to draw names of grand
Jurors IN manner other than that re-
quired by law
Coming at the height of the trial Of
Inspector Mccain for alleged grating,
the news of the action based on alleged
tampering with the jury lists caused
great excitement in legal and political
circles. The complaints on which the
warrants were issued were drawn up
by special agent of the state s attor-
ney, who has been investigating the
jury drawing methods for weeks.
Under the state law the names of
prospective grand jurors are selected
at random from sealed box contain.
ing the names of 1900 citizens who
have been examined for jury service
by the jury commissioners and their
fitness certified. A similar method is
prescribed for petit jury lists

NEW DUTIES HURT.
French Lace Manufacturers Hard Hit
by American Tariff.

Paris, Sept. 20.-What France thinks
of America s new tariff schedule is be-
ing evidenced in no uncertain fashion
these days, and the attitude of French
manufacturers generally is correctly ex
pressed by lace and tullemakers of
Calais, which has thrived for genera
tions on its filmv products, with the
women of the United States its be.
customers.
AS direct result of the 20 per cent
tariff on laces and tulles, which the re-
Gently adopted tariff law of the United
States has marked up on this class of
manufactures, Calais is threatened with
the loss of many inhabitants
Former great prosperity of this city
has dwindled almost to the vanishing
point. Conditions have finally become
so aggravated that long established bus
mess men are abandoning their estab-
lishments and moving away from the
city. Feeling runs high in Calais
against employers.

Old Kindness Rewarded.

Methuen, Mass, Sept. 18.-One of
those strange legacies bobbed up in
Methuen today when it became known
that Mrs. George Bramer had received
from attorneys in the Scilly islands the
information that G. Ribstock, a man
whom she and her mother befriended
in Bermuda, had willed her about ST.
100000 in railroad stocks and bonds.
When Mrs. Bramer met Ribstock in
Bermuda she then was unmarried, and
with her mother did many little kind
nesses for him in his old age. He was
80 years old at the time.

Grasshoppers in California.

San BernardinO, Cal, Sept. 2O.-This
city was overrun last night by millions
of grasshoppers that took possession
of the streets and disappeared myste-
riously this morning. Last evening
myriads of the insects made their ap-
pearance, literally covering the streets
and sidewalks in the business and resi-
dence sections of the city. They dis
appeared with the approach of daylight
According to reports from Highland and
other points in the valley, the pest is
confined to this city. No damage to
crops has been reported.

Plan Model Farm.

Medford-The Modoc orchard, fam
GUS as the old Bybee tract, is not to be
subdivided and sold in small tracts, as
was first planned, but will be planted
and operated as one of the greatest
orchards in the world by the Potter
Palmer estate of Chicago. Approx
mately 200 acres will be set to fruit
trees this winter. Ninety acres will
be prepared and planted to potatoes
next spring. Between 200 and 300
acres will be sown in grain. Nearly
1900 acres, mostly bottom land, COM
pose the tract, which lies along both
sides of the Rogue for two miles. All
the land can be irrigated from the
Rogue or from Little Butte creek,
which flows through it.

Electric Road for SiIverton.

Oregon City-An electric line extend
ing from Oregon City to Mulino, on the
Molslla river, has secured franchise
from the city council and seems likely
to be built at once. The ultimate ter
minus of the line is thought to be Sill
verton. The franchise allows the line
to operate on level with Main street,
instead of from the hill back from the
river, thus overcoming the last obstacle
urged by Mr.. Swift, who has been ac-
tive in promoting the project. Surveys
will now be made from the top of the
hill to water level and the business
district, and from Mulino on to Silver
ton.

Frenchman Is Kidnapped.

Shanghai, Sept. 21.-News reached
Saigon from Tonkin recently that a
prominent French resident at Hanoi had
been kidnapped by brigands belonging
to the bands of De Than, a famous
outlaw. The robbers sent message to
the authorities that they would strike
off their captive's head at the first shot
fred at them. The government retOrt-
ed by holding several leading brigands
