HEN AS COIN MAKER,
Egg Output for Single Year Reaches
Sum of s2eo,oOo,ooO.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 2.-Statistics
prepared by the United States board
of agriculture show that the earnings
of poultry in the United States in one
year were greater than the value of
either the cotton crop, wheat crop or
swine output.
The latest report of the department
showed that the value of the egg out
put for single year amounted to more
than S290,000, 900. Twelve years ago
the farmers of Kansas began to pay
more attention to their poultry, and
this state has become the greatest
poultry state in the Union. The pro-
uct of the hen is rapidly paying off the
mortgages on many farms, and the
business has reached point where the
laying capacity and profit of hens is a
paramount question.
The State Agricultural college is
conducting interesting experiments
with poultry, and recent report shows
that the cost of keeping nine.hens eight
months was SS.81, whereas the eggs
laid in the same period brought in
s26.56 leaving profit of SITS or
S1.61 for each hen.

NEW WIRELESS RECORD.

Message Received at San Francist
From $500 Miles Distant.
San Francisco, Nov. 1.-The long
distance wireless record has been cap
tured by the Pacific Mail liner Korea

plant.
Saturday night Operator Phelps on
the Korea sent an aerogram to the
United Wireless station in this city
from point $500 miles to the west.
ward, or 1900 miles beyond Honolulu
Phelps reported the distance at the
time as 1851 miles from Japan. The
weather was cloudy, with gentle
easterly breeze and sea prevailing.
Phelps also received a message from
here.
This accomplishment more than eX-
ceeds the expectations of General Man.
ager Schwerin, of the Pacific Mail,
who said some time ago he would in
stall wireless plants on the trans
Pacific liners when it was shown they
could do effective work at distance of
l, 500 miles. The Korea not only kept
in touch with the station here, but was
able to receive messages from the To-
cal operator.

NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
FRUIT FOR I2 MONTHS.
Coos County Strawberries Ripen the
Year Round.

Coos County Strawberries Ripen the
Year Round.
Observation-Disclosures of Coos
county assert that this locality cannot
be eXcelled for strawberries. This
year the crop has been especially fine.
M. j. Bowman, of Henryville, on 18th
mus inlet, is marketing some large
berries. From strawberry patch sc
by As feet in size he has taken since
January 1000 boxes Of Strawberries
and is still picking. Moreover, many
of the vines are in bloom and will furn-
ish berries for Christmas time.
Peter Scott, who has a garden within
the city limits of Marshfield, has raised
some large berries. They are of such
size that an ordinary strawberry box
will hold only eight or nine berries.
About three of these berries make a
dishful for the table.
Unlike much of the large fruit raised
in some parts of the country, the ber-
ries are not tasteless, but of a very
fine flavor. The large size does not
seem to make any difference in the de-
licious taste. Many new strawberry
patches are being planted and the in
dustry promises to be highly import
ant one when Coos bay has railroad
and quick transportation with outside
markets.

PACIFIC HARBORS
CRYING FOR HELP
Western Coast Must Improve Ports
or Lose Benefit of Canal.
Congress Apparently Is Not Alive to
Needs of Country-Matter % Be
Taken Up at National Rivers and
Harbors Congress-Old Plan of
appropriations Too Slow.

Washington, Oct. 30.-"The Pacific
Coast harbors need immediate appro-
priations from congress to deepen
them and provide for commerce
through the Panama canal. Portland,
Tacoma, Seattle, Grays Harbor, San
Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland and Eu-
reka must be provided for more liber-
ally in the future if the Western coast
is to reap the full benefit of the great
lsthmian cut now being made. The
Sacramento and San Joaquin, the Co.
lumbia and Snake rivers on the west
ern slope traverse country that is de-
veloping too fast to wait for appropri-
ations made in the old manner. They
must receive larger amounts from con-
gress if the country is to receive any
marked benefits. ~
These are sentiments expressed by
John A. Fox, special director of the
National Rivers and Harbors congress,
who has just completed tour of the
country, covering substantially the,
route followed by President Taft.
Mr.. Fox, who is an engineer of dis.
tinction, having been connected with
many of the big waterway projects of
the country, is to make report to the
Rivers and Harbors congress at its
next meeting in Washington on De-
cember 8, 9 and 10. In his report he
will elaborate upon the idea above
quoted, and will undertake to impress
upon the congress, and through it upon
the national congress, the Importance
of making large appropriations for i'm
mediate use in further improving the
big harbors Of the Pacific coast, so
that they may, as he indicates. reap
full benefits from the commerce that
will seek the Pacific coast upon COM
pletion Of the Panama canal
On his recent tour Mr.. Fox started
from Washington, went down the At
lantic coast, through the southernmost
tier of states, and northward along the
Pacific coast from San Diego to Bell
ingham. He then retraced his steps to
Portland and studied the situation on
the Columbia and Snake rivers, and
from there followed the Missouri from
its headwaters to its mouth. He re-
turned by way of the Great lakes and
completed his tour with an inspection
of the Ohio river.

UMATlLlA LINE ASSURED,
Electric Road to Traverse County in
Operation by 1912,

Electric Road to Traverse County il
Operation by 1912.
Pendleton That Umatilla county
will have an electric road connecting
the farm lands with Columbia river is
now assured, according to an announce.
ment made here. A company know
as the Umatilla Railway g. Electric
Power company, has been incorporated
for some time, with Douglas Belts as
president, George Arthur Brown, vice
president, and A. r. Turner, secretary
treasurur. DR.. c. ]. Smith is one of
the incorporators. This company has
a power site on the north fork of the
John Day river, and has made a pre-
liminary survey, and most of the right
of way contracts have been signed.
The road will extend from the south
ern end of the county north to the Co
lumbia, traversing much undeveloped
country. Eventually the company in
tends to extend the line through Grant
county into Southern Oregon. A party
of 20 men will be in the field within 80
days and the road will be in operation
within two years. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars will be subscribed
by local capitalists, the remainder be-
ing made up by outside interests repre-
sented by Mr.. Brown. The whole cost
of the road will involve 81, 10000
elation is felt here, as the
road will open up the timber lands and
will enable the farmers to ship their
grain and stock at cheaper rates.

PRAIRIE FIRE RACES.
Homes of South Dakota Claim Hold
ers Are Swept AWAY.

aDllas, S. D., Oct. 3O.-A prairie
fire extending distance of three miles
from east to west is raging in Tripp
county, in the southwestern part of the
state.
Much loss to farm buildings and
crops is reported and hundreds of mers
and women are out fighting the flames.
The towns of Lamro and McNeeley,
threatened for time, were saved after
strenuous efforts.
The fire started in the Southern part
of the county and was swept along by
high south wind. At one time Lam
ro was completely surrounded by
flames, but at last reports the place
was believed to have been saved. The
entire population and the surrounding
country went out to combat the flames
and for hours worked desperately.
The town of McNeeley suffered O.
similar experience and the flames were
diverted only after heroic efforts.
Out on the open prairie, away from
all help, the homes of many claim hold
ers were destroyed.
No deaths have been reported.
The fire has burned over an area es-
timated at more than 80 square miles.
The flames were checked today after
they had destroyed farm and ranch
worth 500, 900. Several peo-
pie had narrow escapes.

Dutch Sailors Desert.

sailors of the Dutch cruiser Noord
Brabant deserted last week up to the
time she left here for Honolulu and
the Orient. Most of the desertions
were Of the ordinary kind, the men
simply forgetting to return from shore
leave, but in the case of four the leave
taking was rather spectacular. Hav-
ing failed to obtain liberty leave, they
watched for an opportunity and tried
to swim ashore, but boat was sent in
pursuit. All four were captured.
They will be given severe duties.

Denver, Nov. Limited States Sen
ator Thomas C. Carter, of Montana,
chairman of the senate committee on
irrigation and reclamation of arid
lands, arrived in Denver this morning,
several others of the committee arriv.
ing later in the day.
"There are projects now under way"
said Senator Carter, (Which call for
the expenditure of between $40, 900, 900
and $50, 900, 900 for enterprises which
ought to be rushed to completion i'm
mediately, in order to open up homes
for the settlers and to provide for re-
plenishing of the reclamation fund.
"It has been suggested that govern
ment bonds be issued to provide the
capital necessary. My own idea is that
warrants issued against the reclama-
tion fund would serve the purpose
equally well.
"There has already been expended on
the Pathfinder system in Wyoming ST.
600, 900, but until the distributing sys-
tenn is completed there will be no pay
menrs collected by the government.
"The Salt river project will require
an expenditure of more than $3,000,-

been expended and the dam which i'm

Quake Shakes Siskivou

Redding, Cal, Oct. 30.-One of the
most severe earthquakes ever felt in
Redding occurred at 10:4 o'clock last
night. Houses trembled and sleepers
were awakened. Observers say that
the shock lasted ten seconds or longer,
and that it was perhaps felt more vio-
lently than was the San Francisco
earthquake of 1906. At Baird, on the
McCloud river, 20 miles from here,
where the United States fishery sta
tion is located, the shock lasted so long
that people called to their neighbors
to get up.

were probably fatally burned. The
property loss is estimated at $50, 900.
Of the dead, two persons fell from the
upper stories while seven were burned

CHEESE EXPORT FALLS OFF.
New Zealand Takes Trade From Can.
adian Provinces.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. Canada is
losing her hold on the cheese trade.
The production of Canadian cheese so
far this season is approximately l, 1856,
900 boxes, which is only 5000 boxes in
excess of the production during the
same period last year, but the price re-
ceived is, on an average, one cent a
pound less than was obtained a year
ago.
In explaining this anomalous situa-
tion, exporters say that the lower
prices are due to considerable extent
to the increase in the New Zealand
cheese output. Last year $40, 900 box
es were made in New Zealand, which
five years ago produced only $4,000
boxes.
New Zealand's sale of cheese has
now displaced the Canadian makes on
the English market in the winter sea-
son,
