A WORD
ABOUT
AUTOS

DR.. Morse, in a very temperate and
well-written articles, takes the Salem
papers to task for their position on
the driving of autos. The doctor
seems TO think that an article in The
Journal OF Friday was a direct at
tack on all auto drivers, but such an
inference cannot be fairly drawn
from the article in question. II sim
ply spoke OF the danger of turning
corners close in, by both auto drtv-
ers and bicycle riders. The writer
of that article Ga reporter, by the
way, and not Colonel Hofer. who Is
down at Burns,) realizes that the
auto is here to stay, Is a modern con-
venience, and are already indispensi-
BILE He realizes, further, that the
great majority of auto drivers are OF
average caution, and have proper re-
gard for the rights of others. SO
are the majority Of bicycle riders. 1t
was for this very reason that the ar
ticle In question was written. II is
the reckless (not wreckless) autoist,
the carelss blker that was alluded to,
and, as far as the autolsts being COM
PEELED to carry a pistol to defend
themselves, where can such an infer
ence be drawn from the article3
Would they use a gun tn defend them
selves in court against the charge Of
manslaughter2
The reporter simply called atten-
tion to the danger of doing n certain
thing, and cautioned autoists about
speeding around the corners close In,
where they or others had little oppor
tunity to avoid collision. II this was
wrong why does the doctor himself
suggest precautions about passing
teams2 Why suggest series of
plain rules, the rules of the road,
which are admittedly violated7 Aud
further the doctor, after critlcising
The Journal reporter, repeats the
very caution the reporter had given
lie says:
"A vehicle going west on State
street and turning north on CONNER
cial should turn The cigar store cor
ner as short as possible: should he
desire To turn south ON Commercial,
he should make wide turn, at least
10 the center of the street, which
would bring him ON the right hand
side OF Commercial In front of the
electric light Office"
This IL exactly what The Journal
reporter said, and, he heartily
agrees with DR.. More that the plain
rules of the road, lived up TO, would
stop all friction between those who
use autos and bikes and those who do
not. especially II the very sensible
suggestion OF giving the horse the
best OF It," Is followed ont.

FOREIGN RESIDENTS
IN DANGER IN PERSIA

st. Petersburg, July 5.-Communi-
cation with Teheran was severed to-
day and grave fears are entertained
for the safety of the foreign resi-
dents of the Persian capital.
Latest reports received from the
besieged city stated that the shah g
palace had been fortified with cos
sacks as It was expected that the
rebels would soon make an attack.
The severing of communication
leads to the belief today that the reb-
els have advanced upon and taken
the city. AS the rebels greatly out
number the Cossacks defending the
shah Il is feared that the palace has
fallen into their hands.

SANTA FE STIRS UP RIVALS.
Officials Call Hasty Conferences on
Schedules.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-The manager of
the Santa Fe road has made definite
proposition to the Postoffice depart
ment to put on new mail and express
train between Kansas City and Los
Angeles that will reduce the present
running time by ten hours This will
require trip of over 1900 miles to be
made in so hours, or at the rate of over
81 miles an hour, including stops.
When it became definitely known to-
day that the Santa Fe had agreed to
take ten hours off the latest schedule
between Kansas City and Los Angeles,
CONSERVATION reigned in the official
ranks of the Western roads. Confer
ences were held on all sides, agents of
competing lines were dispatched to
Washington with instructions to learn
at all cost the position the government
is likely to take in the matter, and or
ders were hastily issued by the Rock
Island and Southern Pacific for time
card meetings.

CLEARING UP LAND TITLES.
Special Agents Making Visit to kIa-
math County.

klamath Falls-H. p. Jones, spe-
cial agent of the general land office,
and Peter Ogden Applegate, state land
agent, have arrived from Salem to in
spect some lands about the lakes the
titles of which are in question between
the state and the United States.
The greater part of the lands in this
section have long since been classified
either as government or as belonging
to the state under the swamp land
grant of March IL, 1860, but there are
some odds and ends still undetermined.
The classification of these becomes
very important, since the Klamath
basin is now coming into its own and
the rich alluvial lands about the lakes
will soon be in great demand.
Messrs. Applegate and Jones went
up the klamath lake by launch to be-
gin their examination of the low lands
at the head of the lake and will prob
ably spend several days in their inves-
LEGATIONS.

OREGON State items OF INTEREST
CROPS IN GRANT HEAVY.
Wheat and Fruit viii Bring Farmers
Good Prices.

Good Prices.
Prairie City-For the first time in
the history of the John Day valley the
products of the soil will be thrown up
on the market. With the coming of
the railroad this fall the fruit and grain
raisers will be able to serd their sup
plies to Baker City and all railroad
points.
According to reports received here
there is short fruit crop in many sec
tions of Eastern Oregon. Grant coun-
ty never had better yield of all kinds
of fruits and grains than this year.
Heretofore apples have been fed to the
hogs and fruit could be bad for the
picking. This summer contractors are
buying the fruit in the orchards. 1t
will be boxed and shipped to railroad
points.
The -four mills of the John Day val
ley are paying 81 bushel for wheat.
Although the yield is much in advance
of previous years, there will not be
enough wheat to supply local demands.
The people of Grant county have i'm
mense tracts of land that have never
been cultivated, and now that the land
is contingent to the railroad the wheat
yield should be very materially in
creased.
Wheat of Grant county compares ia
vorably with wheat raised in the lower
counties. In fact, the Blue mountain
wheat is of superior quality, especially
where it has been irrigated.

SUGGESTIONS FROM FARMERS.
Census Director Durand Invites Their
Practical Cooperation.

TTdCliCdl SO-oPCi dNOHs
Washington, Sept. 6.-The farmers
of the United States are naturally very
much interested in the census of agri-
culture and farms that will be taken
April Is. 1910, as one of the subjects
to be covered by the thirteenth decen-
nial census. Many are showing their
interest by writing to the census bu-
reau for the purpose of making COM
ments upon census information regard
ing agriculture as presented in the
past. The director of the census well
comes all such suggestions and gives
them careful consideration, as he is
anxious to have the results of the com
ing census correspond as nearly as may
be to the desires of the people most in
terested.
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has on
his own initiative requested certain
professors of economics and agricul-
ture of the more important universi-
ties of the country, and other persons
who have specialized in agricultural
matters, to come to Washington for a
short time for the purpose of studying
carefully and criticising plans now un-
der way. Especially is it desired to
obtain their opinion relative to the
questions to be asked and their form,
as the results to be obtained will so
largely depend upon the character of
the schedule and the manner in which
the questions are propounded. These
suggestions, coming from outside ex-
perts, are proving to be of great value,
and it is believed that in consequence
of this preliminary study more valua-
BILE and accurate data will be obtained
than could otherwise be secured. AT
ter these special students and experts
have made their preliminary studies,
formal conferences are held in the
Office, in which the whole matter of the
character of the shedules and the best
methods of securing the information
are thoroughly gone over.
The department is also seeking to
secure the advice and cooperation, as
far as possible, of the officers and ex-
perts of the department of agriculture,
of the state agricultural colleges,
farmers societies and like organiza-
tions.

WOOL SEASON GOOD.
Yield is Large and Prices High and
Growers Satisfied.

0rOWerS oduSUeu.
Portland-The Oregon wool season
of 1909, which has now been brought
to a close, has been one of the most
successful in the history of the state.
The yield was large and the price high,
and the growers are entirely satisfied
with the result. 1t has also been a
profitable year, so far as it has gone,
for the dealers.
The wool clip of Oregon this year
netted the farmers of the state about
$4,000, 900. They have also received
very good prices for their mutton,
sheep and lambs, and are altogether in
as prosperous condition as the farm
ers in other parts of the state who
heav devoted their energies to raising
grain.
1t has been an ideal year for the Ore
gon sheep men with the weather right
at every season to produce the best re-
suits. As consequence, the output
was larger than it has been in recent
years and the quality was better. At
the same time there was sharper de-
mand from buyers and prices were
higher.
The quality of the wool was excel
lent. 1t was of better staple than last
year, though of heavier shrinkage, ow-
ing to the dry spring. The average
weight of the fieeces was placed at y
pounds, the heaviest average ever
known in the state. The wool sheared
fully one pound to the fleece more than
it did last year.
The highest price paid during the
season in Eastern Oregon was % cents,
which was realized on a part of one
clip at Shaniko. The larger part OF
the best grades sold between 20 and 2f
cents. Some securing woods went al
13 cents, and other coarse grades NOV
ed at prices up to II cents. For the
clip, as whole, the average price was
abpout 1873 cents.

troops and the Montenegrins occurred
near Cusink, city in Turkish terri
tory, where pitched battle was

here today. There were heavy losses
on both sides and number of casual
ties reported. Among those injured
were FIVE Turkish women. The Mon
tenegrins fired upon the Turks, accord
ing to the dispatches. Armed forces
are now facing each other on the from
tier, and decisive battle is expected.

Oregon at work in Coos bay, has re-
turned from Portland and announces
that the dredge is to be removed in a

for repairs. The work started here is
as yet uncompleted, but the efforts of
the people to keep the dredge here
were fruitless. 1t is quite likely now
that the port commissioners will build

NATURAL BRIDGE FOUND.
Rock Span 274 Feet Long Discov-

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 6.-With a
span of 274 feet and more than 300
feet high, natural bridge, said to be
the largest known, has been discovered
by members of the Utah Archaeological
society, who have returned from an ex-
pedition along the Colorado river, in
Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.
The bridge is located four miles
north of the Arizona line in the state
of Utah, six miles east of the Colorado
river. On its top were found imbeded
several fossils of remarkable size, in
dicating the presence in earlier times
of giant animal life.
The party brought back photographs
as well as collection of rare pottery
and baskets used by the cliff dwellers
centuries ago.
