GERMANY FRETS OVER
LORD ROBERTS ELEVATION

Berlin.-The selection of Lord Rob-
erts to head the special mission sent
to Berlin to formally notify che Kais-
er that King George v has ascended
the throne has aroused some resent
ment in court circles because Lord
Roberts is regarded in Germany as
the head of the anti German move-
ment in England. Almost on the eve
OF his departure from England Lord
Roberts expressed public approval OF
the virulently anti-German pamphlet
written by Colonel Lyndendell entitled
How Germany Makes War"
He said he hoped the pamphlet
would be widely circulated in Eng
land. Its contents are regarded in
Berlin as grave aspersions in Germany
hence the anger that Roberts should
be selected as special emissary.
During the last few days an emf
nent official of the German army,
General Gagern, has been involved In
a painful scandal, the details of which
aroused indignation throughout Ger

FLOCKS ARE MOVED
TO WINTER RANGES

Umatilla county flocks are now on
their way from the summer range in
the national forests to the fall and
winter range on the foothills and low
er valleys. Yesterday was the expi-
ration of the time limit fixed by the
government officials and those sheep
which are not already on the trail
were showed over the lines. Owing
to the unusually dry summer in the
mountains and the fact that the range
on the foothills has been better than
that further back. great many
sheepmen did not wait for the expira-
tion of the time limit, but moved their
flocks several days ago. -..
Notwithstanding the fact that the
unusually dry summer resulted in the
drying up Of the range long before the
usual time and prevented the start
ing of the fall grass, the sheep are
coming out in fairly good condition.
According to Dan p Smythe. who is
probably the best authority on sheep
in the state and who has been max
ing inquiries since his return to this
city, the condition of the sheep is re-
markably good considering the ad-
verse conditions with which the sheep
men have had to deal.

purposes in view, is likely to realize

mer's work in q vegetable patch at
Garden Park near here. Miss Park
er's goal was to harvest the largest
crop of commercial potatoes ever
gathered from. a four-acre tract in
eastern Washington, also to paint the
best pictures in the inland empire.
Her tract syelded more than 1000
bushels of tubers this season. - AS
soon as these are marketed she will
go either to Chicago or New York
to study portrait painting. Miss
Parkers two landscapes have been
praised by competent critics and they
have encouraged her to continue her
studies along that line, but she pre-
fers portrait work. She has youth
and plenty of enthusiasm and is not

IMMENSE DEPOSITS OF
EPSON SALTS IN LAKE

Spokane, Wash.-Workmen are
draining a small lake near Oroville
in Okanogan county, Wash, to save
an immense deposit of EPSON salts,
owned by M. McCammon of Orovllle
and his associates, who took up the
land under a mineral right. A. w.
Doland, president of the Spokane
Drug company has made numerous
laboratory tests and pronounces the
salts equal to the German product,
the wholesale price of which is 25c
a pound. The lake, in which the de-
posit was found some time ago, is l.
900 feet in length and about $50
feet in width and of unmeasured
depth. The bed and banks are COW
cred with a thick deposit and it is
believed there are thousands of tons
of salts available for commercial pur-
poses. The discovery was made sew
eral years ago, when hunters noticed
the glistening white crystals along
the shore. The find was reported in
Spokane, but little attention was paid
to it until after Mr.. McCammon had
perfected his claim to the land.

may not compete for prizes other than
diplomas.
Cash prizes offered Oregon growers
total almost $500 In addition, there
will be many medals and diplomas
awarded, together with prizes of mer-
chandise. The prize list is so attrac-
tive that the entries will be of high
quality as well as large in number.
The oregon State Horticultural So
ciety, whose 25th anniversary is be-
ing celebrated by the show, found that
a meeting place would have to be Sc
cured that would afford ample room
for the many exhibits and the o. n.
G. armory Tenth and Couch streets,
will be used. The big drill hall on
the ground floor will house the ap-
pie show and the meetings of the So
ciety will be held upstairs in the con-
vention hail. This will give a splen-
did downtown location for the big
apple fair with ample space for all
requirements.
Counties Of the state are vieing
with each other in collecting prize
exhibits. Commercial clubs of vari-
Gus cities are offering prizes for the
best showing from their own coun-
ties and in this way warm competition
will be aroused. There will be con-
tests in all classes and the judges will
have their work cut out for them by
the number and excellence of the ex-
hibits.
For the first time in the history of
the annual meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society. grapes, vegetables and
canned fruits will be exhibited, CIV
ing 1t something the appearance of
fair.
This years show is felt to be in the
nature of a transition between the
small apple display formerly held and
a big affair that will in future attain
the proportions of a national apple
show, similar in scope to that held
each year at Spokane.

WEE GRUB is CAUSE
OF JUMPING BEANS

Berkeley, Cal.-Professor c. W.
Woodwork, university entomologist,
has solved the mystery of the jump
ing bean of Placer county by the dis
covery of a tiny worm inside whose
efforts to escape cause the bean to
hop in a peculiar manner.
The university scientist was recent
ly asked for an explanation of the phe-
nomenon, which for the last so years
had been a conundrum to the resi-
dents Of the foothills west of Rose
Vile. n.....
The beans, which resemblemus-
tard seeds in size and color, hoped
in an active manner, sometimes sew
eral inches in the air, and the noun
taineers were baffled.
Woodwork found that a small
worm, the offspring of a wasp, occu-
pied the ball and was making efforts
to escape.
The beans were formed by wasps
singing the oak leaves as nesting
place for their young. When the eggs
developed they formed worms. which
by their gymnastics caused the ball
to fall from the trees and continue
their odd jumps.

Majority of People Seem to BE Eat.
ing, Sleeping and Reforming.
A correspondent who writes from
this country to the London Christian
World reports that America is at
present in a perfect panic about it's
health Evidence Of this panic he
finds In the interest in the "Emman-
uel movement" in "Fletcherism" and
various other phases Of dletetic or
therapeutic enthusiasm, perhaps in
Guiding Christian Science, Harper's
Weekly says.
1t is the first heard here of such a
panic. The great majority Of the
Americans are In good health and 60
ing about their business about as
usual without undue concern as to
their symptoms. There is some anxi-
ETY. since J. ]. Hills recent speech as
to how long we can continue to get
enough to eat, but that is not acute
yet. Measures for the protection of
the public health run to extremes in
some places. The anti-rum legislation
verges on hysteria In some quarters;
l-C!SdIS leS1Sldtlou uoSS lue
same. Some of the western authori-
ties do wonderful stunts of prohibition
and prevention. We read that since
September 1 the common drinking cup
has been prohibited by the State Board
of Health of Kansas in railroad cars
and in school houses In that State.
Folks In Kansas trains were drinking
from the spigot at last accounts. But
the great mass Of the American people
are going about the business of max
ing a living and reforming the neigh
bors about as usual, eating three more
or less square meals a day and get
ting seven or eight hours of sleep at
night. Our friends who are excited
about health make so much ado over
it and push about so much literature
that they have misled the London
Christian Worlds correspondent.
Health is a great topic. There is al
ways a vast ink-shed over it, specially
in the advertising columns. Preventive
medicine is active and very useful in
| these days and sometimes runs to ex-
tremes. But there is no panic about
! American health.
