capital an object of pre-eminent in
$1,000 automobile in which Mrs. Will
liam III. Taft may be daily seen spin
ming about the streets of Washington.
Not only is the new car the first We
hicle of the kind ever maintained for
a first lady of the land. but it is prac-
tically the first automobile used by a
mistress of the White House. for Mrs.
Roosevelt rarely entered an automo-
bile. being in full sympathy with her
husbands well-known prejudices on
the subject.
The automobile which has been in

some time Burns was opposed to the
projected transfer of land to the gov

missioners had several conferences
with him. On one of these occasions
the choleric Scotchman answered one

outburst: Il suppose. Mr.. Washington,

In Oak Hill cemetery Van Ness had

use ON all occasions when their Jour.
neyings about Washington and in the
suburbs have no official significance.
Mrs Taft's car. like the other White
House automobiles, has the right OF
way over all vehicles in Washington,
and will not be compelled to observe
any speed limit Her car Is upholstered
in dark blue broadcloth and her chauf-
feur wears a neat and unostentatious
livery of corresponding tint. On either
side at the front are mirrors, which
enable the chauffeur to keep constant
ly informed as to what vehicles are
following him, and thus minimize the
danger of collisions at turns.
The interior of the car is the en-
bodiment of luxury There is an cleo
trio dome light. supplied with current
from the storage battery of sufficient
capacity to keep it aslow for "a hours.
Occupants of the tonneau can COM
municate with the chauffeur by means
of a speaking tube. or may employ an
annunciator. which causes to flash up
before the eyes of the car driver such
signals as start" stop" SLOW"
faster" right" left" home" etc
The most distinctive feature Of
President Taft's motors is the insignia
on the side doors, in lieu of the mono
grams which are now displayed by
most owners of expensive automobiles.
The emblem on the presidential car is
the coat of arms of the United States
in colors and this decoration serves
instantly to identify the car to all
passers by in Washington. The coat
of arms thus emblazoned takes the
place. in a sense. of the red. white
and blue cockades which distinguished

Roosevelt administration.

A BANNER CROP FOR OREGON
Will Bring Prosperity to the State.
Recent Rains Prove Of Great
Benefit to the Fruit Crop.-.A
Good Yield is Promised.

Estimates of the years wheat
crop in the Pacific Northwest
fix the probable yield at about
30, ,0O0,00 bushels, an increase
by ID, 200, 600 bushels over last
year. This figure may not be
reached If unfavorable conditions
at harvest set in, but with nor.
mai weather, it is believed the
yield will be large. Recent
rains have been of immense ben.
eft to the growing crop. Dis.
tricts where the grain was prac-
tically given up because of the
continued drouth have taken
heart again and the wheat is
filling out in fairly good shape.
The value of the recent rains to
the wheat crop is variously esti.
mated at from $l,000,000 to
50, ,O00,000 Increased acreage
in many sections of the state
makes up in the total yield for a
short crop in some districts. AS
wheat is still sticking around
the dollar mark, Oregon's big
wheat crop will mean a great
prosperity for this section of the
United States during the coming
year.
Recent rains have also been of
great benefit to the fruit crop.
With the exception of some loss
to cherries and hay, no damage
has been done by the downpour
but incalculable good has been
