NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
ANNUAL RAINFALL INCREASES.
Records Show Central Oregon is Be-
ing favored by Jupiter PIuvious

Records Show Central Oregon Is Be
ing favored by Jupiter PIuvious
! Madras-The annual rainfall is in
creasing in Central Oregon. Where
the precipitation few years ago was
10 and IL inches, figures show that IL
inches is the record for 1909.
In the annual report Of Mr.. Rea, To-
cal cooperative weather observer, is
noted with much interest the material
increase in the amount Of precipita-
tion. both of rain and snow, the for
mer showing total of 1898 inches
and the latter $3.50, making total Of
approximately Is inches of moisture
for the year ending December 81.
The year 1908 was also somewhat
above the average in the amount Of
moisture which is supposed to fall in
this section. Although there was no
weather observer at this place during
that year, conservative estimate
made in comparison with the precipi-
tation of few years previous, would
tend to show that probably from 10 to
IL inches of moisture fell in this section
during 1908. In view of the reports
which have been current heretofore
that six or eight inches per year was
the maximum fall of moisture in this
section, the considerable increase of
the last two years would indicate that
a better climate is to be the rule for
the Central Oregon country.
The change is an especially pleasing
one to residents of the interior, who,
with the increased precipitation, are
assured of sufficient moisture for the
maturing of crops. And, if other eli
matte conditions are not altogether fa-
even partial failure of crops
in the country east of the Cascades will
be rare.

PULLMAN DIVIDEND $40, 900, 600
Paid In Form Of New Stock Worth
Double Its Face.

RAD IN Form or new STOCK worth
Double Its Face.
Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE directors OF
the Pullman company. decided at spe-
cial meeting today to give the stock
holders stock dividend Of 20 per cent
on the corporations 500. 900. 900 OF
capital. This will call for the issuance
of 500, 900, 900 of new capital, worth
nearly $40, 900, 900 in the open market,
which will be given to the present
shareholders without cost and will
swell the compsny's total capital stock
to 1920, 900, 900.
Pullman stock pays So share divi-
dend each year, and sells in the mar
ket at S198 share, or nearly twice
par value. This stock dividend of 20
per cent is about the equivalent of 30
per cent, therefore, on the par value of
the stock.
In statement made by directors an
nouncing the dividend, this afternoon,
it was pointed out that "the considera-
tions influencing this action were that
the increased investment in the manu-
featuring facilities of the company had
been so material and considerable as
to Justify the directors in the belief
that it should be represented in addi-
tional capital stock of the company"

HERMANN JURY DSACREES
One Man Blocks Eleven
Believe ex-Conlmissloner Gull
N, But Cannot Con-
vince the Twelfth

Portland, Feb. 14.-One juror, and
one alone, has saved Binger Hermann
from conviction on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud his country out of
its public lands.
That one juror withstood the pleas
of his fellow talesmen from Friday
forenoon at ii o'clock until this morn
ing at 8. His position proved beyond
the power of argument to shake, and
the twelve men came before Judge
Wolverton this morning with the re-
port that they could not reach YER
dict. Judge Wolverton discharged the
jury from further duty, and the first
trial of Binger Hermann was closed,
after five weeks of testimony and ar
gument.
When further instruction was asked
of the judge Saturday, fear began to
be felt of hung jury. The hours that
passed without a verdict Sunday
brought conviction that the jury would
be unable to agree.
This morning the conclusion was
confirmed by the appearance of the
jury in the courtroom, when it's fore
man announced that an agreement was
impossible, and asked that the IL men
be discharged from further attendance
upon the court.
Judge Wolverton was 10th to have
the case terminated without verdict.
But the positive assurance of the men
that agreement could not be reached,
left no alternative. In view of the
long time spent in deliberation, and
the positive assertion of the jurors that
they could not agree, the Judge found
it useless to confine the men longer,
and discharged them from the case.
Disagreement had been feared, but
few who had been speculating on the
issue had thought the margin would be
30 narrow as one. Mr.. Heney and his
assistants were absolutely confident of
q conviction. Mr.. Hermann, on the
other side, expressed his faith in ac-
quittal, and did not seem to worry over
the delay in reaching an agreement.
When sthe report of disagreement
was made, the aged defendant showed
more signs of concern than at earlier
stages of the case, and when it was ru-
mored through the corridors that only
one man stood out, friends of Mr.. Her
mann realized the danger to which he
mad been subjected, and gave voice to
their concern.
George Selkirk is the one man who
hung the jury.

London, Feb. r. Bible students

ken S8 years, having been begun in

Pieces on Rocks-Sole Survivor
Clings to Wreckage and is Picked
Up by Fishermen.

Palma, Island of Majorca, Feb. 12.-
Driven helplessly from her course in
one of the widest storms that has
swept the Mediterranean sea in 40
years, the French transatlantic
steamer General Chanzy crashed at
full speed, in the dead of night, on the
treacherous reefs near the Island Of
Minorca, and all except one of the l5
persons on board persisted.
The sole survivor is an Algerian GUS
toms official, Marcel Rodel, who was
rescued by fisherman and who lies to-
night in the hospital at Ciudadela, raw
ing, as result of the tortures through
which he passed and unable to give an
account of the disaster.
In the ships company there were 81
passengers, of whom 80 were first
cabin. The crew numbered 70. 1t is
thought that there were no Americans
on board.
The ship was in command Of Captain
Cayol, one of the most careful officers
of the line. In his long experience he
had never met with an accident. He
had intended to retire from the service
soon.
Passengers of the Chanzy were most
ly officers and officials returning to
their posts in Algeria, accompanied by
their wives and children; few SOL
diers, some Italians and Turks and one
priest.
The only Anglo-Saxon names on the
passenger list were Green and Stakely.
They were members of an opera troupe
of II that had been engaged to sing at
the Casino in Algiers.
Among the victims of the wreck was
the celebrated music-hall singer, Fran
els Dufor, as we'll as other prominent
music-h hall favorites.
The General Chanzy struck at 8
O'Clock Thursday night, after Captain
Cayol, with all his experience, had
been unable to cope with the tempest
of almost unprecedented violence.
Other ships in the neighborhood had
safely ridden out the storm, but the
Chanzy fell prey to the elements, was
lifted off her course through the Ba-
Iearic archipelago and brought on the
coast of Majorca, near Ciudadela.
Fishermen at daybreak picked up
Rodel, clinging to piece Of wreckage.

farm near Goshen, Orange county,

Books for Everyone.

The Oregon Library commission has
ordered 35 new travelling libraries and
expects to have them ready to send out
in the course of two weeks. These
travelling libraries are intended for
farming communities and small vii
lagos not enjoying library privileges
and unable to support a library.
There is absolutely no charge for the
library except the transportation
charges both ways. The library may
be kept six months, and then return
ed to the commission and exchanged
for another and different lot of books.
The books must be loaned free of
charge to all responsible persons in the
community.
They are usually kept in the most
convenient public place,a school
house, postoffice, grange hall, store, or
in home. The Libraries are made up
of the very best books for grown peo-
pie and for children. Each one con-
tains so popular and interesting books
of fiction, history, travel, biography,
science, sociology and literature, books
which old and young may read with
pleasure and profit.
If you are interested in travelling
library for your community, write to
the Library Commission at Salem for
further information. Do not put it off,
for the Libraries are in great demand,
and you should file your application as
early as possible.

Net Profit on One Acre, $500.

Net Profit on One Acre, 5000.
ButteviIle-Buy a small piece OF
land, plant apple trees, raise an annual
crop while your trees are growing, and
make competence, is the advice of A.
]. Stephenson, 78 years of age, who
resides here. Last year Mr.. Stephen
son picked TIC boxes Of Mammoth
Black TNig apples from sc trees,
grown on one acre of land. He sold
the fruit at a net profit of $500.
Mr.. Stephenson says: "The young
man of today is inclined to look for
$40 tomorrow where he planted 81 yes
terday, and often overlooks an oppor-
tunity to make an investment which,
though slow in paying dividends, is
safe and sure in the end. Any part
of this section of Oregon is adapted to
apple culture and will no doubt be used
for that purpose in the future. In 10
years an orchard will begin paying div
idends, and the investment is secured.
If | can do this at my age, what can a
young man do, with so many more sd-
vantages?"

WEST WARNS WALL STREET.
Taft's Lincoln Day Speech Meets
With Approval.

WIN approval
Chicago, Feb. 15.-That the country
has been reassured by President Taft
in his Lincoln-day speech in New York
that the administration has no inten-
tion of turning the business world
topsy- -turvy, and that the law abiding
corporations have nothing to fear, are
keynotes sounded today in the editorial
comment of the country on the speech.
Western editors admonish Wall
street that it is time to put its bogeys
away and get down to business on a
basis of belief that legitimate business
is safe under the Taft administration.
The sentiment seems to be that the
president fell short of convincing the
people that the tariff law is to be
trusted for results and that in spite of
the New York speech, will go on as
before.
The Democratic press expresses the
view that Mr.. Taft is soicitous of the
integrity of his party and that there is
no less cause for worry now than there
was before. He is credited with sin
cere desire to avert anything that
would upset the business equilibrium,
while at the same time adhering stead
fastly to his declared policy of making
the corporations subservient to the
public welfare, and not paramount.
With the exception of few bank
ers, who do not relish the idea of the
establishment of postal savings bank
system, and some manufacturers who
are opposed to the new law relating to
the regulation of corporations, the men
of affairs in Chicago generally indorse
the presidents speech and policies.

Paris, Feb. 12.-The Seine rose only
a few inches during the night and the
photographic authorities predicted that
the high level would be reached tomor-

which had been asked by the cabinet.
The senate unanimously concurred with
the chamber in the action. Many mil
