 Mr.Hearst's New York Am- erican has made 8 poll of the legislatures of many states and has found that 27 of them are favorable to the constitu- tional amendment giving con- gress power to levy an income tax. Of course 27 states will not be enough to carry the amendment. Thirty-five will be needed for tLat. But Ala bama is not on Mr. Hearst's roll, and that state has sane toned the amendment. Per- haps some of the other South ern states which are not on his list will follow Alabama s example.

AIRSHIP BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Count Zeppelin Travels 456 Miles
Without a Stop.

Count Zeppelin Travels 456 Miles
Without Stop.
Berlin, June Count Zeppelin,
whose remarkable performance in his
first airship brought unbounded honor
to the inventor, accomplished today
the most striking feat in his career.
He guided his Zeppelin II from
Friedrichshafen to Bitterfeldt, a dis
tance of more than 456 miles without
landing. The journey lasted nearly %
hours, and, so far as known tonight,
Count ZEPPELIN is still in the air on his
return journey to Friedrichshafen.
He has already beaten all records for
dirigible balloons, with the opportunity
of greatly improving the performance.
1t was announced that the count would
come to Berlin and land at the Tempel-
hof parade ground. Hundreds of thou
sands gathered there this Afternoon.
The emperor and empress, several of
the princes and the leading officials and
officers were present. Toward even
ing searchligbts were set at work in
anticipation of the approach of the air
ship. Soldiers kept an enormous space
clear until half-past 10 at night, when
dispatch from Bitterfeldt announced
that the airship was returning to the
starting place at Friedrichshafen,
which caused intense disappointment.

Forest Fires in Michigan,

Negaunee, Mich, May 29.-Forest
fires are raging in this section of the
upper peninsula and reports from Dali
ton say the town has been destroyed.
When the fire threatened Dalton last
night special train was ordered and
the inhabitants, with as much of their
possessions as they could carry away,
we're taken to place of safety. Many
lIshing and camping parties in the
woods are in great danger, and their
fate will probably be unknown for sew
eral days. No rain has fallen in this
district for several weeks.

WHEAT PANIC CLOSED.
Patten Fixes Price at SI.34 and Re-
fuses to Send it Higher.


fuses to Send it Higher.
Chicago, May 31.-May wheat
walked out of the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade today with head up,
firm step and not sign of wavering
anywhere-the second time in the
history of the board when "a wheat
corner was carried through successfully
to the final day Of the option. The
only other successful deal was that in
September wheat conducted by B. P.
Hutchinson, more than 20 years ago,
when the price touched So.
Opening at $1.34, which was a cent
higher than the close of yesterday, the
market remained steady during the
trading hours, finally closing at the
opening price. Mr.. Patterns brokers
stood ready all morning to sell to any
one who wanted to buy at the quoted
price, and they also stood ready to buy
from any who wanted to sell at that
price. 1t is estimated that the trading
in the option amounted to about 150,-
900 bushels.
1t is believed that Mr.. Patten has
about 6, 100000 bushels of cash wheat
on hand to dispose of. Experts say
that, owing to the recognized scarcity
of milling wheat, he will be able to
sell his possessions at prices ranging
from $1.25 to today's closing quota
tions. 1t is said that within the last
few days local millers have paid from
l to cents above the May price to get
milling wheat.

Umatilla Not Discouraging.

Pendleton-Weather conditions con-
tinue discouraging to Umatilla wheat
growers. With no rain for several
days, and continuance of cold weather,
crops are not progressing as fast as
they should. They are still in at least
an average condition, largely due to the
fact that they were pushed forward by
favorable winter followed by an early
spring. Grain on lighter lands is in
need of rain while crops on heavier
wheat lands could easily stand the
drouth for longer period. Warm rain
followed by real spring weather is the
thing that Umatilla wheat growers
most want to see at this time.

Draw French Capital.

Paris, May 31.-Morgan, Harjes &
Co. have formed syndicate for intro
ducing the common shares of the
United States Steel corporation on the
Paris Bourse. The news has not yet
been made public here, but it is ex-
pected that it will create a sensation.
In financial circles the matter is re-
garded as of far-reaching influence.
For years American bankers have been
knocking at the door of the Paris ex-
change in order to draw on the enor-
nous surplus represented by the saw
ings of the French investors.

tural College Appropriation.

Arrange for Expenditure of AgricuI-
tural College Appropriation.
Corvallis-The board of regents of
the Oregon Agricultural college held a
two days session last week. The
meeting was special one, called to
arrange for the expenditure of the ap-
preparation made at the last session of
the legislature and to pass upon other
matters of administration.
The college budget, providing for
several additional instructors and for
new equipment, was passed upon, and
the committees on building were in
structed to take steps looking to the
construction of the new buildings pro-
vided for by the state appropriation.
The question of the location of the
new experiment station for dry farm
ing came up for consideration, but final
action in the matter was postponed un-
til the July meeting in order that the
board might make further investiga-
tions. Frank Davy and Judge Miller,
of Burns, appeared before the board
and urged that the station be located
in Harney county.
The resignation of Miss Grace Catch,
daughter of ex-President Catch, was
accepted. G. c. Vincent was granted
leave of absence for year, in order
to permit him to pursue post graduate
work at Cornell university. Bert Pix
ington, of Portland, graduate of the

BRITAIN SEEKS
NAVAL ALLIANCE
Wants United States to Guard Pacific
and She the Atlantic.
In Order to Maintain the Two-Power
Standard, Great Britain Proposes
That Each Nation Concentr; TO-
FIeet--Leave Out Japan-Austra-
liza Favors Plan.

London. May 29.-Overtures looking
to naval understanding between
Great Britain and the United States
have been made by the British govern
ment through Ambassador Bryce, in
Washington. Premier Asquith had
this fact in mind when speaking re-
Gently in what was regarded as a cryp-
tic manner of "two-power" standard
for the British navy. The premier
hopes that such an understanding may
be reached with the American govern
ment as shall enable Great Britain al
most to denude the Pacific Of British
warships of formidable class in re-
turn for giving America certain assur-
ances respecting the naval situation in
the Atlantic.
The suggestions made by Mr.. As
quith through Ambassador Bryce fol-
low the lines lately laid down in an ar
ticle by Captain Mahan on the naval
position which has attracted wide at
tention in authoritative circles in Eng
idnQ. i He DTILlSI CaDiIiCI ASSio ehos~
only an understanding with America
can enable Great Britain to maintain a
two power standard in Europe.
eff the Americans will look after our
interests in the Pacific, said respon-
sible naval authority this afternoon.
1--WE will take care of all American in
terests in the Atlantic and Mediterra-
mean. We recognize the difficulty of
inducing America to break with the
tradition of not entering into entangl-
ing alliances, but we are not without a.
hope that the situation in the Pacific
may lead the authorities in Washington
to think favorably of proposal which
would admit of their concentrating the
American naval strength in that ocean"
The British government is inclined
to seek naval understanding with the
United States on account of the possi-
bility of Japan's declining to renew
the Anglo-Japanese alliance when it
expires. Australians never cease to-
urge the mother land to separate its
policy from that of Japan in the Paci-
fic, and try to unite the strength of the
English-speaking race in that part of
the world.

Fruit Prospects Good.

Eugene-There has been no rainfall
in this vicinity for over week and
crops are badly in need of moisture, al
though rains of two weeks ago were
very beneficial and saved the spring
grain from bad failure. Fall sown
grain is in fair shape, but good rain
would help it materially. Indications
point to not more than three fourths
of crop. Fruit men say the outlook
for all varieties of fruit is good despite
heavy late frosts. Prunes which were
badly damaged seem to be much better
than reported.

Heppner-The sheep and wool traffic
in this section of the state is fast draw
ing to close. This spring has been a
prosperous season for the sheepmen,
and if there is plenty of late rain to

down as a record breaker. Nearly all
of the growers have sold their wool and
delivered their spring turmoil of sheep.
They have had an ideal spring for rails
ing lambs and their loss from shearing
has been slight.

him. This was the decision of NUM-

La Mantia asked 500 damages. Tes-
timony showed that two other Italians
visited the theater few nights before
