WAR OF RAILWAYS
ON IN DESCHUTES
Construction Work Begins on Rival
to Hartman Road.
Grading Equipment Rushed to The
Dalles by Porter Brothers, Build
ers of North Bank Road-Hill May
Be Behind Central Oregon Line
Surely Is not Hartman.

The Dalles, Or, July 24.-Railroad
grading equipment, consigned to Porter
Bros, contractors, was unloaded here
today, and preparations have been made
to begin in the morning transferring
the material to Sherar's bridge, on the
Deschutes river.
Work on railroad through the Des-
chutes canyon into Central Oregon will
begin Immediately, and this road will
not be Harriman's, according to the
contractors.
This is regarded here as the first
move in a Titanic struggle between
Hartman and Hill for control of the
Deschutes grade into Interior Oregon.
Johnson Porter, member of the firm
of Porter Bros, contractors, is in the
city and superintended the unloading
of the grading equipment. Mr.. Porter
will not admit that his company is
working for Mr.. Hill, but insists he
is not in the employ of Mr.. Hartman.
Mr.. Porter is the contractor militant
who built the North Bank for Mr.. Hill
in the face of Hariman's active and
sometimes forcible opposition.
In this city the supposition is that
Porter Bros. are the construction
agents of Mr.. Hill.

CHICAGO GRAFT EXPOSED.
Indicted Detective Collected $4,000
a Month for Protection.

Chicago, July 24.-Stories of graft,
astounding in extent and detail and
revealing conditions beyond belief,
were told to the grand jury today and
were followed by the immediate indict-
ment of Detective Sergeant jeremiah
Griffin, of the Desplaines street police
station, known as Inspector Edward
McCann's "man Friday"
He is charged with demanding and
accepting bribes from dive keepers,
gamblers, cocaine sellers and disrep-
utable women of the West Side levee.
There are 25 counts in the true bill
voted against the sergeant, each set
ting forth separate offense. Upward
of $1,000 a month was collected by
him from dwellers of the under world,
according to the indictment, and more
than $3.50, 900 in all is said to have
been delivered to the Desplaines street
police executives.
The more startling phase of the in
vestigation lies in the fact that the
trail has been rapidly followed to the.
city hall, and it is now said that Mayor
Busse's confidence in some of his most.
trusted advisers has been sadly be-
trayed.
Similar conditions are said to exist.
in half dozen other police precincts.

CROP A RECORD BREAKER.
Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never
Better Than Now.

Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never
Better Than Now.
According to information received
during the past week the Pacific
Northwest will produce almost four
times as many cars of potatoes as a
year ago.
This increase is startling, even
though the comparison with the pro-
duction of year ago is not exactly q
correct showing, for the 1908 crop was
just about half of what was produced
the previous season.
During the present season the acre
age of potatoes in the Pacific North
west, but more especially in Oregon,
shows the greatest increase for one
year ever noted here. While large
per cent of this increase was in the
Willamette valley, most of the addi-
tional acreage was planted in Eastern
Oregon.
Eastern Washington and Idaho like
wise have very heavy potato acreage
increase and the production there will
be much greater than during any pre-
vious year. Western Washington had
greater acreage of potatoes than a
year ago, but the difference in favor of
this season is not great so far as the
additional planting is concerned.
Potato crop prospects could scarcely
be improved over what they are in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho this
season, and the same is stated to be
the case in California. In Eastern
Oregon, where some of the poorest
showings were made in grain produc-
tion this season, the crop of potatoes
never looked better.
In the Willamette valley, potatoes
will show better quality this year than
ever before and the sizes will be just
that which gained for this section the
reputation of growing the very best
potatoes in the entire United States.
In seasons previous to the present
one, the potato acreage and production
of Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Idaho had little, if anything, to do
with prices at Portland or San Fran
cisco, but this season each of these
sections will be strong factor in the
market and unless all signs fail prices
will reach lower figure than for some
seasons.
Potato prices have been so high
along the Pacific coast in recent years
that the trade can scarcely come to
think that lower prices will again be
in effect. With such heavy increase
in acreage and production 80 much
greater per acre than normal, the sup
plies will be fully as great as any de-
mand would justify, and that being
the case, present out of line values will
90 out of effect.

ROADBED CRUMBLES.
Train Goes Into River and Six People
Killed and SO Hurt.


Kansas City, July 27.-Six lives
were lost and 36 persons were injured,
three perhaps fatally, in the wreck OF
Wabash passenger train No. 4, when
it plunged into the Missouri river 80
miles east of here.
The train left Kansas City at 8
o'clock Saturday night, and was due in
St. Louis ten hours later. OF the eight
cars that made up the train, five and
the engine are now in the river with
the water covering all of them except
one end of the Des Moines sleeper.
A deadhead Pullman, mailcar, a
baggage car, a day coach and sleeper
followed the engine into the stream.
The chair car and two Pullmans re-
mained on the track.
For days flooded waters have been
undermining the roadbed, which paral-
lels the river. Three hours before
the wreck freight train of As loaded
cars passed the point safely. Three
hours later No. A started across the
same bit of track and so feet of the
roadbed suddenly collapsed.
The train was running IA miles an
hour, and the forward cars telescoped,
allowing the rear cars to stop so gradu-
ally their occupants were hardly shaken.

Moors Gather in Force.

Madrid, July 27.-Official dispatches
concerning the bombardment yesterday
around Melilla state that this measure
was taken to prevent the enemy from
massing. The gunboat Martin Alonzo
Pinzon assisted in the bombardment,
after which she chased, but did not
catch, two steamers suspected of carry
ing contraband arms. The lombard
ment was resumed today. The Moors
are gathering in great force in the Riff
region. 1t is estimated that they now
number 10000, and are preparing for a
concentrated attack.

NORTHWEST APPLES BEST.
Bring Higher Price Than Those From
Any Other State.

Bring Higher Price Than Those From
Any Other State.
Consul General Robert p. Skinner,
writing from Hamburg, Germany, de.
tails facts relating to the apple indus
try of this country as reflected in the
prices received there, and shows that
Oregon and Washington apples bring
more than those from any other states,
the scale being in comparison with the
California product as follows:
State Per 1-bushel case
Oregon Washington ;. So. 6l@3.57
California ..... 1.60@2. 81
As to the possibilities of the exten.
sion of the apple trade with Germany,
the report shows that in 1908 Germany
imported 164, 421 tons Of apples, OF
which the United States supplied only
10, 5O2 tons; in 1907 Germany import.
ed l8l, ,457 tons, the Unitel States
sending 1929 tons.
Germany enforces rigidly inspection
for the San Jose scale, and this pest
has been found on number of ship
ments from the Pacific coast. Mr..
Skinner says, however, that as rule
American apples reach Germany in
good condition. He urges that care be
exercised by all apple shippers to free
their orchards from scale and all other
pests, and then exercise constant super
vision of their employees to insure that
the fruit shall be packed so as to make
it pleasing to the eye as well as protect
it against bruising while being trans
ported.
Hamburg is the great apple receiv-
ing port. There, writes the consul,
honest and impartial rules of sale are
observed and the seller always receives
what is his due, the market regulations
and government inspection having been
developed in manner to make it GER
tain that always there shall be nc
crooked work or unjust rejection OF
shipments.
German fruit buyers have for years
been sending their representatives to
America to look over orchards and
packing houses, and keep informed on
the conditions of the industry in all
important localities where considerable
quantities of fruit are produced. These
agents often go without making known
their identity, and thus obtain infor-
nation which might otherwise be
harder to secure.
The report ofConsul General Skinner
agrees with previous reports which
have been sent to the government from
abroad-that Pacific coast apples now
lead this country in all European
marts. It likewise emphasizes the
necessity of maintaining the present
high standard, in order that the high
prices now obtained may be main
tained and the apple industry reap the
large profit which has been made in
the past years.

JAPAN GROWS FESTIVE.
Wants Equal Tariff Rates With Other
Nations.

Washington, July "a. - japan un-
doubteldy is becoming restive under
trade conditions imposed in her treaty
with the United States. This recently
was made evident when she proposed
to this government that negotiations
for new treaty be begun at once, not
withstanding the fact that the present
treaty does not expire for two years.
Our trade interests in Japan, however,
are not suffering and for this and other
reasons this government did not see its
way clear to discuss the questions in
volved before the expiration Of our
treaty in 1911.
Under the most favored nation clause
of the treaty, Japan extends to the
United States all the conventional
rates which it has granted to Great.
Britain, Germany and France. On the
other hand, none of the reduced rates
authorized in section of the Dingley
act, which were granted by the United
States 20 certain foreign countries, are
extended to Japan.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 27.-When
President Taft takes his trip down the
Mississippi river from St. Louis to New
Orleans, Mark Twain, the humorist,
will act as pilot on the boat carrying
the country's chief executive.
The presidents river itinerary has
been completed and includes stops at
Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville, in the
Missouri; Cairo, Ill.,, Memphis, Tenn.
and Vicksburg, Miss.
When a president of the United
States takes river trip, Mr.. Clemens
always has been invited by the COM
mittee in charge to pilot the boat. The
usual invitation was extended to Mr..
Clemens on this occasion, and his
friends, who say he has high personal
regard for Mr.. Taft, declare he will
agree to pilot Mr.. Taft safely down
river

FINE WHEAT ON DRY LANDS.

Ontario Farmers Get Excellent Re-
suits From Experiments.
Ontario-Wheat on the dry farms
near Ontario is in excellent condition
this year and is expected to make a
record crop. While Malheur county
farmers do not give much attention to
wheatgrowing as a general crop, nearly
every farmer has small field, and the
past few years dry farming has come
more and more into favor on the
benches, where wheat is one of the
good crops.
This year the wheat is full, healthy
and clean. Most of it will average, it
is estimated, from 35 to 40 bushels to
the acre, and the grain stands four to
five feet high. On fields which have
been cultivated for the first time this
year it is not quite SO thick as on older
fields, but the entire average is good.
There will be more wheat harvested
near Ontario this year than ever be-
fore.

Dufur Harvest Begins.

Dufur. Harvest is now in full blast
here and the yield both in quality and
quantity is much better than was ex-
pected. Until week or SO ago theJ e
had been no rain here since the middle
of February. The yield of both wheat
and barley will be better than an aver
age crop. The good yield is attributed
to the fact that there have been no hot
winds to dry the ground and the
weather has been remarkably cool and
pleasant all spring and summer.
