PROHIs. AND OTHER FOES
OF Saloon to Make Monster Demon
stration in Washington.


Prohibitionists and other foes of
the liquor traffic are to gather in
Washington in force this week for a
monster demonstration to impress
upon congress the necessity for re-
form legislation of a more radical
character than has ever been at
tempted before. Incidentally the
conference will discuss the so-called
white slave traffic and will urge upon
the national body of Lawmakers the
necessity for systematic work and
cooperation with other nations in
the measures now under way to sup
press the nefarious traffic in girls
Among the national organizations
that have signified their intention of
taking part in the conference are
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, Christian Endeavor Society,
American Anti-Saloon League, Good
Templars, National Temperance So
ciety, National Lodge of the Sons of
Temperance, Blue Button Army, Ma
tional Lords Day Alliance, National
Purity Federation, National Vigi-
lance League and Inter-Church Tenn

WORCESTER, Mass.--A remarka-
BILE assertion of the practicability Of
aviation here yesterday was that of
Wallace E. Tillinghast, vice-president
of a Worcester manufacturing COM
pany, who claims to have secretly in
vented, built and tested an aeroplane
capable of carrying three passen-
gers, and in which he says he has
flown from Worcester to New York;
thence to Boston and then back, a
distance of 800 miles, speed of 100
miles an hour being maintained at
various times.
The test was made on September
8th, at night, according to Mr.. Til

INCREASES WARS DANGERS.
Marvellous Death-Dealing Inventions
Recently Perfected.

An amazing weapon, the invention
of an Englishman named Bangerter,
is said to be capable OF propelling
automatically, and without noise,
smoke or flash, bullets at the extra
ordinary rate of 10000 a minute at
ordinary speed, and 100000 an
hour If pushed to its maximum ca
pacity, The cost of one hours firing
would not exceed $40.
According to Mr.. Bangerter 10 of
his guns, firing half-inch bullets at
the rate of 100000 every 60 min
utes, would sweep away an entire
army within an hour, even if only
one per cent of the missiles found
target. His quick-firer is worked by
motor power, and requires two men
only to operate it,
Another Englishman, Mr.. Simp-
son, whose name is we'll known in
connection with metallurgicaI re-
searches and discoveries, has devised
weapon capable of imparting, by
the application of electricity, an ini-
tial velocity of 10000 feet a sec
I ond to projectiles of all dimensions,
and there is nothing to prevent it
and others of it's type from electri-
cally propelling shells from London
to Paris, or vice versa, at the rate of
thousands a day.
Mr. Simpson declares that his gun
will throw a projectile 400 miles or
more without either flash, smoke or
recoil. He has not, naturally, di-
vulged the secrets of his invention,
but he claims that his electric gun
is entirely different in shape from
any of the firearms now in the pos
session of the great powers.

The swim is being arranged by the
Multnomah Club, local athletic or

volunteers who will essay the dip on
Christmas morning. There are al
ready many entries and large num-

have been hung up for the event, and
not only will the first man and the
first woman to emerge on the far side
of the stream be given handsome

several weeks ahead, run n GOO head this week, including $500 calves. Prices were lowered Mon day, but the market has advanced l5 to 30 cents since Monday, and the week is closing in good shape. Offerings this week have included a good number of Colorado beef steers from both sides of the state, more steers from the plains country this season than usual, and the mountains districts also shipping freely at this time. Most of the steers are middle weight, around HOO ib, and sell at $4 50 to $4 90, a fair number of steers heavier weight, at $5.25 to $5.50, cows at $3.35 to $4 %, hefers up to $4 50, feeders $4.25 to $4.75, stock steers $375 to $450. Panhandle sup plies ran mostly to COWS, which continue to sell good, mostly at $3 25 to $3 65, heifers up to $4.10, and canners at $275 to $3.15. Beef steers sold up to $4.60, stock CTS and feeders $3.5O to $4.50, calves $3.75 to $500. The calf market is 25 to 50 cents better than close of last week, but still considerable below prices two or three weeks ago. Kansas and Missouri purchases of stockers and feeders this fall are 10% below same period last fall, which de- ficiency must be made up before the close of the season as there is as much feed available in these states this fall as year ago, which would seem to promise a good demand for country grades of cattle next few weeks at this point.
 Sheep and lambs advanced 25 to 40 cents first part of this week, top lambs reaching $7.25. but prices are easing off little. today, about 10 lower than best time. Utah yearlings sold at $5 % to $5 25, this week, fat ewes $400 to $4 l5. The first fed wethers of the season arrived this week, and sold at 1 $500, weighing 101 tb. Demand from the country is keen for all classes, feeding lambs this week chiefly at $6 625, feeding yearlings $4 50 to $4 75, breeding ewes $4 0C to S4.75, choice young ewes worth above $500. Sheep receipts have heen short here of requirements al
