Christmas Programs IN the Schools.

The Oregon library commission has
made a collection of material suitable
for Christmas programs in the schools.
This consists of recitations, dialogues
and plays, suitable for the season.
Most of them are not in books, but are
mounted on sheets or made into pamph-
lets and can easily be mailed. The
commission has made an effort to col
lect the very best material available
for school room programs, and is anx-
ious that the teachers in the state make
use of it. Any school in Oregon may
obtain this material upon application
to the commission, accompanied by five
cents in postage. If more postage is
required, notification will be sent when
the pieces are mailed. In sending in
applications it will be necessary to
state how many pupils are to take part,
age of pupils and whether plays or
dialogues are to be included. 1t is
suggested that teachers have their
pupils copy their individual parts and
return the material as soon as conven-
lent, so that as many schools as posi-
BILE may have the benefit of the Christ
mas collection. Address Oregon Library
Commission, Salem, Oregon.

RIVER SAFE FROM NIGHT ATTACK
Moving Target Punctured in Gloom
IL Out of 16 Times.

Fort Stevens, Or, Nov. 29.-1h eff.
ficiency of artillery practice at night
was tested thoroughly last night by the
Thirty-third company, command ID by
Captain Willis, of the Coast Artillery
corps. This is the first year that night
firing at a moving target has been tried
in the United States army, and the first
time it has been tried at Fort Stevens.
Three preliminary shots were fired for
the purpose of testing firing conditions.
Immediately afterward 16 record shots
were fred, IL of which tore through
the target. This result is thought to
be the best attained since night prac-
tiee has been in vogue in the United
States army.
The target fred at was rectangular
canvas figure six feet by twelve. 1t
proved a dim object to fire at, with
only the uncertain gleam of search.
light following its rapid movement
through the water.
Government boats and searchights
from both sides of the river guarded
against the possibility of commercial
vessels entering the field of fire dur.
ing the practice. Many spectators saw
the display, which demonstrated the
effectiveness of the Columbia river
defense.

National Apple Show Gives Supremacy
70 Rogue River Valley.

Medford-Medford and the Rogue
river valley are rejoicing over the
showing made at the National Apple
show, when the sweepstake prize was
awarded Tronson & Guthrie on a car
of Spitzenbergs.
The awarding of this prize to the
Rogue river valley is a great victory
for the fruit growers and will bring
the recognition to which the district is
entitled as the greatest fruit growing
section in the world.
The prize winning apples came from
an orchard about 20 years old, bought
four years ago from ]. II. Daley by
Tronson & Guthrie for $1,000. The
place consists of 100 acres.
Winning of the title apple king of
the world will create a demand for
Rogue river valley fruit, and it will be
the fashion in all eastern markets,
where fruit is purchased for quality, re-
gardless of price, to demand the Med
ford brand.
Medford will now forge ahead by
leaps and bounds in the fruit business.
Hundreds of acres of land will be set
to fruit, and men who have looked
askanee at the future of the industry
are planning to secure some of the
profits which seem to be in store in
this valley

Hood River May Be SURPASSED.

Portland = The cranberry marshes
along the lower Columbia river grow
the largest and best keeping fruit, and
in yield per acre are not surpassed any
where in the world. This industry,
though yet in its infancy on this coast,
has already reached results that show
beyond reasonable doubt that this is
to be the most profitable of all lines
of fruit culture. The exhibit of Gran
berries shown the past week at J. K.
Gill's book store was a revelation to
all who saw it, and it proves convinc-
ingly that we can grow unusually fine
berries and in quantities that make
their culture exceedingly profitable.

Will Have Good Roads.

Forest Grove-A movement was in
augurated in this city at the instiga-
tion of the county court to build perm
anent rock roads. Heretofore it has
been impossible to secure good roads
except at prohibitive prices. County
Judge Goodin stated the Oregon Iron
& Steel company of Portland had of
fered the county the right to quarry
rock at their quarry near Beaverton
gratis, and that the Southern Pacific
would haul it at 25 cents a ton. The
scheme of the court is to install a
crusher at the quarry for permanent
use. Crushed rock can be delivered to
the Base Line road at one-half the
present cost, or at ST. cubic yard.

COAST EXTENSION SANCTIONED.
Construction of 1900 Miles of Roadway
viii Soon Be under Way.


Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-The directors
OF the Chicago & Northwestern Railway
company have decided that it will soon
become necessary to extend that road
to the Pacific coast in order that it may
continue to be strong competitor of
the St. Paul and the Burlington roads.
With this end in view the company
is preparing to issue approximately
$50, 100000 worth of new stock, which
is in the ratio of one to four of out
standing stock.
This proposition has already been
submitted to the proper authorities of
the several states which require state
authority for the issuance of the new
railroad securities. This authority has
not yet been given by any one of the
three states to which the proposition
has been submitted, which fact may ac-
count for the denial which the officials
of the company make regarding the pro-
posed stock issue.
1t is also known, although not ad-
mitted by the company's officials, that
an approval has been given for con.
struetion of at least 1900 miles of road
to be completed within the next two
or three years. 1t is known through
western senators that the company has
completed and approved surveys of
lines to three important Pacific coast
points-namely, Portland, Seattle and
San Francisco.
In connection with the proposed is
sue of new stock, it is remembered that
the st. Paul's first move toward the
Pacific coast extension was the issuing
of exactly the same amount of new
stock.

Another Victory for Hin Route.

Portland-Dispatches were received
from Washington, d. c., announcing
that the general land Office has re-
jected the Deschutes Railroad com
pany's maps for section 5, wherever
they conflict with those of the Central
Oregon railroad. According to c. H.
Carey, attorney for the Oregon Trunk
and the Central Oregon, the action of
the land Office is on an appeal from
a former decision of the land depart
ment to the same effect. The section
of the route referred to is in the upper
part of the Deschutes country and is
believed to lie between the mouth of
White river and Trout creek.

Sells Wheat at 90 Cents.

Baker City-The largest wheat deal
made in this section of the state has
just been consummated by the Balfour-
Guthrie company, which purchased the
holdings of the Oregon Mill & Grain
company, whose elevator was destroyed
by fire. The deal involved $4,000 bush
els of wheat, and the price was SO cents
per bushel on board the cars at Port
land. This deal is taken to mean that
the mill people will not rebuild this
year.

lature last winter are not available for
the salaries of professors of the Oregon

in supervising the work at the stations.
The money can be used only in promot-
ing the work of the station. The
opinion was asked by the college.

CAR FAMINE FELT.
Shipments From Union Are Tied Up by
Shortage.

Union-Car shortage has temporarily
stopped shipping from Union.
Refrigerator and box ears cannot be
secured and several carloads of apples
are being held in storage.
The Touring mill of this city will
shut down soon, as their storage ca
pacity is taxed to the limit, and several
cars will have to be shipped before
grinding can be resumed.
The planning mills shipped several
carloads of lumber in open cars, but
the rain and snow has made it impos-
sible to handle dressed lumber in other
than closed cars.
Several carloads of baled hay are in
storage awaiting cars. A loss of thou
sands of dollars to the shippers of the
Grande Ronde valley is growing be-
cause of the scarcity.

beaver. Destroy Fence..

Beaver have been accumulating in
the State to such an extent that they
have destroyed property In some in.
stances and the owners OF the prop
erty have had to apply to the game
commissioners Office for permits to
kill them.
Anthony Sneeve, q wealthy cattle
man, living fifteen miles up Brush
Creek from Gypsum, Colo, secured a
permit recently and brought in ten
hides few days ago. He built half
mile fence from quaking asps last fall
on one portion of his ranch, but the
winter being long the beavers supply
Of food ran out. They sailed forth
and found that fence tempting NOR
sci. Every post was cut off close to
the ground and the beaver then cut
the rails into short lengths, slowing
these in their huts until they were
ready to eat the bark. Then they car
ried the wood out and floated It down
stream.
A Mrs. Bond, living half mile be
low Pine In Platte canyon also secured
permit to kill beaver colony on
her place. She planted handsome
grove of shade trees a few years ago
and they are now In flourishing con-
