New Umatilla County Town Takes 25
Prizes at Pendleton Fair.

Stantield-the new town of Stanfield,

of brick, stone and cement business
buildings and neat frame cottages and
The O. r. & N. is building a brick
depot, finished in antique oak. The

Berlin Has Small Riot When Sale of
Seats Begins.

Berlin, Oct. 19.-Berlin had riot at
the opening sale of seats for Caruso s
three-day engagement at the Royal
Opera during the coming week. Fren
zied wouldbe purchasers pummeled
other mercilessly in a struggle for
places of vantage in the line leading to
the box-office, women and girls taking
leading part in the fray. 1t was
necessary for a squadron of mounted
and unmounted police to intervene be-
fore the sale could progress.
Crowds began assembling at 10
O. clock the night before and by day
break nearly 1000 persons were on the
ground. Local police regulations did
not permit line to be formed before s
o. CLOCK. When the signal to form the
line was given the multitude had in
creased to 1000. A serious scramble for
positions nearest the box office followed
After half a dozen women had been
taken to a nearby emergency hospital,
suffering from hysterical fits, the police
contrived to get the Caruso enthusiasts
into line, which stretched twice around
the opera house building.

Preparing Land for Fruit.

Ontario - Kansas men have pur-
chased large tract of land two miles
south of Ontario, which they will cut
up into tracts of 20 acres each. Their
plan of providing smaller tracts differs
from the usual custom. Each 20acre
tract will be so arranged with road
ways that each can later be subdivided
into five and ten-acre tracts. This ar
rangement makes the 2O-acre tracts
very attractive. The plan is to put
half of each 20acre tract into fruit,
the other half in alfalfa, the coming
spring, if not sold before. Another at
tractive feature of these 20-acre tracts
is that each one will be leveled and
made ready for the planting of fruit
trees before being placed on the mar
ket. Each tract will include a dis
tributive water supply, also an indi-
vidual drainage ditch. A drainage
ditch is about as important as the
water for the laterals. The drainage
ditch feature is one not usually found
in this sort of an investment.

Atlanta Suffers Big Loss.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 16-Unroofed
houses and leveled trees and shrubbery
mark the wake of the terrible wind
and hail storm which swept over At
lanta and surrounding country early
last night. SO far as known no lives
were lost. The property damage is va
riously estimated at from $4,000 to
100000.
At the height of the storm street car
traffic was stopped throughout the city,
and live wires broken by the hail were
stretched across many streets, render
ing travel dangerous.
At Riverdale, 16 miles south of At
lanta, Mrs. Olga Grey was probably
fatally injured, and her two children,
and Mrs. Joseph Stubs seriously hurt,
by falling trees.
The most serious damage done the
National cemetery was the wrecking Of
the Iowa state monument, which wa.
blown from its pedestal. The supern-
tendent's quarters were destroyed

GREAT FAIR rs CLOSED.
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition Ends
With Many Ceremonies.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 1S.-At midnight
Saturday the 100000 electric lights of
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
were extinguished, closing the prosper
Gus life of the worlds fair of 1909,
which, from every standpoint, was more
successful than it's most jealous friends
had dared to hope.
The final moments of the fair were as
dramatic as its beginning on June l,
when 10000 people gathered at the
natural amphitheater and waited for
President Taft's signal. The last day
had been devoted to saying goodbye.
The sun shone bright, the flowers were
never more beautiful, and the whole ex-
position looked as new and fresh as on
the day of the opening.
The attendance was large, and, while
the carnival spirit possessed the young,
there was sorrow for the passing of the
brilliant show
The exercises of the closing hours be-
gan at 2:30 O'Clock in the afternoon
with display of japanese fireworks.
The exposition band paraded from
building to building, serenading each.
The United States Government building
was reached at $50 o'clock, its daily
closing hour. A cornet sounded "taps'
and the band played "Auld Lang
Syne." The flag was hauled down, the
life-saving crew on Lake Union fred
81 guns, and the buildings doors were
locked.
At night a great throng of people as
sembled at the natural amphitheater,
beside Lake Washington, and listened
to classical concert by band which
played waltzes for the frivolous and
Chopin IS funeral march and other SOM
ber pieces for the sorrowing. At 11:30
o clock the exposition officials and en-
ployes marched from the Administra-
tion building to the amphitheater to
await the stroke of midnight.
On the stage, Josiah Collins, chairman
of the committee on ceremonies, pre-
sided, and spoke briefly. President J.
E. Chilberg made an address of thanks
and farewell, and exactly at II clock
opened a switch that darkened the
whole fair. A single bugler blew
"taps,' and then in darkness, but for
the stars overhead, the vast audience
sang "Auld Lang Syne,' accompanied
by the band. The street lamps were
lighted and the people went home.
On the Pay Streak the celebration
was noisy, but orderly, and closed with
fireworks, the last pieces being "Good
Night" 3" ''Good-Bye."

ANARCHY RAMPANT.
London Mob Condemns Alfonso and
Blames King Edward

London, Oct, lS.-The red flag was
raised in London this afternoon and
large mob moved upon the Spanish
cmhassay to make a demonstration of
its disapproval of the execution of Pro
fessor Francisco Ferrer at Barcelona.
Police drove off the crowds in their
usual bloodless effectual way. But un-
easineSs pervaded the neighborhood.
The trouble began at a mass meeting
in Trafalgar square organized by sew
eral socialists and labor bodies. Sew
eral hundred members of these organi
cations marched to the square carrying
red flags draped with crepe and bearing
inscriptions denouncing King Alfonso,
A black -bordered banner was left stand
ing against the Nelson column with big
letters. "To He'll With the Murderer
Alfonso"
Several laborite members of parlia
ment spoke. Victor Grayson, of Man
chester, the socialist member, capped
the climax by declaring that if the head
of every king of Europe were torn from
his body, it would not pay half the price
of Ferrer's life.
He called the Russian emperor a
"dirty monster and said King Ed
ward, who could have prevented the
execution, was responsible for what
might happen in England as a result
of it. He demanded the expulsion of
the Spanish minister.
The socialist societies, carrying ban
ners, then marched to the Spanish en-
bassv, singing revolutionary songs and
hooting King Alfonso. A rabble ac-
companied them, filing the streets. 1t
was dark when they reached the open
square in front of the embassy, and
they found the square filled with police.
The embassy windows were dark and
there was no sign of life. The police
would not let the procession enter the
square, nor even stop.
The crowds turned back and kept
moving up Victoria street, toward the
Parliament buildings, singing shouting
and groaning. The reserves drove the
mob into the side streets, dispensing it
without trouble.

FERRER WAS ONLY AN EDUCATOR
Sought Revolution Only in Education,
Say His Friends.

London, Oct. 1S.-"Francisco Ferrer
was my personal friend" said w.
Teherkesoff, Russian liberal and news
paper writer, today. "He was the
modern Pestalozzi of Spain. He was
ardent with enthusiasm, yet regular and
hard worker. This was the secret of
his success in creating in Spain, espe-
cially in Barcelona and Catalonia, a
great popular movement for free ma
tional lay schools.
81 first met him and his beautiful
young wife four years ago at Brussels,
in the home of the great geographer,
Elisee Reclus. Professor Ferrer then
said:
" 1T is evident that I shall not be
allowed to conduct our national schools
in Spain, but here in Brussels or in
Paris l shall continue my pedagogic
work. Capable and devoted friends
will take my place in Spain
'Professor Ferrer fastened back to
Spain, owing to illness there of a little
niece''

CLATSOP SANDS HOLD OIL.
Valuable Deposits Believed to Under:
lie Beach Sands.

Astoria - While work has been
stopped, temporarily, at least, on sink
ing the oil we'll at the Hess place, on
account of the parties who had agreed
to give leases on their property having
withdrawn their leases as soon as flows
of oil and gas were found, the indica-
tions are that the oil properties OF this
section will soon be developed, as the
attention of outside parties is being at
tracted to them.
That oil and gas in considerable guam
titles exist here has long been known
by parties who have conducted investi-
CATION, and II. c. Harrison and w. E..
Dement, were successful in an expert.
ment of extracting crude petroleum
from rock which is found in almost
endless quantities in this section. The
rock used in the experiment was speci-
men of hydraulic limestone, which was
taken from ledge containing hundreds
of thousands of tons, and while only a
small piece was used, and the crudest
kind of retort was employed, con.
siderable quantity of oil was obtained.
In this connection it may be stated
that few years ago the body of ce-
menu ROCK ludI Is locdteu ou tne HoIth
side of the river was drilled for the
purpose of ascertaining its depth, and
directly under it quite a body of oil
was found.
Another interesting experiment that
was made by Messrs. Harrison and De-
ment was the extracting of paraffine
from sand secured along the beaches,
and which contains the oil product that
in the finds made at Nehalem and even
so far north as Cannon beach has been
so often described as "beeswax.

Buena Vista, Or, Oct. 19.-Shot to
death on the banks of the Luckiamute
river was the fate of George Carter,
ring-leader of the quintet of convicts
who escaped from their guards at the
penitentiary at Salem Friday night.
Two of Carter's companions, Duncan
and Albert Ferris, are seriously wound
ed, the former probably fatally, as the
result of a pitched battle between the
outlaws and John Grant, sheriff of
Polk county, and four members of the
pOssee.
Elmer "Cherokee' James one of the
men who was with Sheriff Grant, was
slightly wounded in the right leg, but
is still with the posse on the hunt for

awarded a contract for logging the
Avery tract of about 60,000,000 feet of
timber on Hull creek, tributary to

necessitate the construction of a log
ging road about one and one-half miles
in length, and it may be extended even
further afterwards, as there are several
individual tracts of timber in that sec

Presidents Meet,

Taft and President Diaz, of the Re-

Outwardly it was attended with dis
play of soldiery, flare of trumpets, a
boom of cannon and a pomp of cere-
