Of Their Ex-

BALLOON IS HELPLESS
Motor Broken and Pilot Cannot Land
After Being For Ten Hours
at the Mercy Of
the Wind.

DUSSELDORF, June 2s.-The Yep
pelin dirigible balloon Deutschland
with a party of newspaper men
aboard is drifting helplessly before a
heavy wind.
The great air liner has found it i'm
possible to land.
Grave fears are entertained for her
safety.
When last seen the Deutschland
was being driven before the wind.
The airship ascended at an early hour
this morning to make two mile trip,
but already she has been in the air
ten hours.
One of her motors is broken and
the pilot cannot manoeuver her. At
tempts to land have proved too dan.

Messages have been sent to all
parts of the country over which the
ship will be likely to pass and troops
have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to aid the vesse
in case she comes near the ground.

Kentucky Greeks Roar Out Of Their
Banks and the Natives Lose
Their Crops and Even
Their Lives.
THEY FLED FROM BEDS
Storm Broke Before Daylight and the
People Had to Seek Safety on
High Ground in
Night Clothes.

WHITESBURG, KY, June 2S.-As
the result of one of the worst rain
storms which has ever visited south
eastern Kentucky dozens OF families
along the middle fork of Beaver creek.
on the Knott-Floyd counties border,
are homeless, and although the details
are meager 1t is feared that several
persons have lost their lives in the
storm
The storm broke early before day,
light, and in short time Beaver
creek overfowed and the people living
along its banks were forced to flee in
their night clothes. Many homes,
which are only cabins, were swept for
miles down Beaver creek Communi-
cation with this section Is almost cut
off, and reports which come from
there say that both Knott and Floyd
counties we're devastated by the storm.
The news of the disaster reached here
from Hindman, KY, by telephone.
Besides rendering many families
homeless, all the crops along Beaver
creek have been swept away by the
overflow OF Beaver creek. This is the
second cloudburst in Kentucky in the
last two weeks. Two storehouses,
containing thousands of dollars worth
of goods. fencing and barns. were
alike swept away. A bridge on the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad and a cat.
tie bridge on Johns creek were total
losses.
The entire property loss will per
! haps approximate several millions OF
dollars, but it will be several days be.
| fore the full extent of the damage is
known. Coming at this time of the
| year, the farmers who have suffered
such a severe loss on their crops being
| swept away, will not be able to replant
them on account of the lateness of the
season. 1t is not known what the
damage will be further down Beaver
creek.
All connections, both railway ant
telephone, have been severed. The
high wind accompanying the storm
swept away telephone poles, uprootet
trees and tore down buildings al
though they were mere tinder.

THE RIVERS

son Have interesting
Conference.
FAvoRs APPROPRIATION
The President Would Like to See Ex-
tensive River Work Done at
Once instead of BY
Long Contracts.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The pres
tdent had Senator Nelson and Repre-
sentative Alexander of New York at
the white house for talk about the
future of river and harbor legislation.
Senator Nelson acted as chairman of
the senate committee on commerce
while the river and harbor bill was
before that committee and was in
charge of 1t in the senate and in con-
ference. Representative Alexander is
chairman of the house comm...ee on
rivers and harbors, which framed the
bill which was passed the last ses-
sion. President Taft wanted to i'm
press upon these men his idea about
river and harbor bills and he elaborat-
ed upon the sentiments he set forth
in his special message accompanying
the river and harbor bill last Satur-
day when he returned 1t with his ap-
proval. This approval as was indi-
Gated then was rather under protest.
The trio was together for some
time and he'd a full discussion of the
subject. Later it was made known at
the executive offices just what the
purport of the conference was, and
Representative Alexander gave out a
prepared statement which had the
presidents Endorsement. showing that
there was harmony between them as
4 to the future.
The policy of an annual river and
i harbor bill is already settled. Thai
was one point upon which all were
agreed. The president also insisted
that appropriations hereafter should
be made upon scientific information
that a project to be adopted must
not only have been pronounced feas
ible, but warrantable from com
mercial standpoint and that appro

recommendation by the engineel
corps. The latter will get to work a
once upon request of the COMPRESSION
al committees, and it is probable tina
not only will they cut down the lis
projects tabooed in the bill just pass
ed and to which the president and thu
engineers objected may be dropped
that is, no further provision will b.
made for them in the next bill.
No specific information was forth
coming at the white house relative t
the lakes to the gulf waterway or tn
Missouri river, but since both 0
these were opposed vigorously durin
the past session they are not regard

The presidents idea is to apprc

The livestock MAI ket at Portland
for the month of March has been a
pleasing one, both in prices and re-
ceipts. AS compared with March last
year, there was an increase of 1907

face of the great shortage prevailing
all over the country, this is splen

All previous records for prices
were broken, not alone III individual
instances of small sales, but in the
higher general average prevailing for
all classes of live stock. Cattle sold
high, sheep and lambs brought big
prices, and the hog rocket that went
up id February has no sign of fall

More buyers are looking to this
market for their supplies and compe-
tition in every line is keen.

The Best Year in Sight.

Every known indication that has
proven its value as means OF prog
nosticating the apr zach OF good value
in any line one of business have all
been canvassed thoroughly and with
out an exception point to year of
unexcelled good business for the
breeder of pure bred stock There
is nothing that can prevent it. Hog
values are increasing at An alarming
rate when the cost of pork is consider
ed, and consumers of that edible are
casting about for some substitute and
none is found. Pork they must have
if they eat meat at all and every
worker in the land must be a meat
consumer to the extent that he can
afford, for it is his stock in trade,
and at the present time pork is the
cheapest of all the meats and 1T is be-
ing consumed in large quantities even
at its high price.
Along with this we take into con-
sideration the shortage of the hog
crop for the past two years made in
evitable by the sending to the sham
bles of every old matron and young
SOW that could possible be gotten in
any kind of shape to ship. Hundreds
of thousands of pigs scarcely large
enough to be put into the feeding lot,
were sent along with the mothers to
the butcher and the farms in nearly
every corner of the hog belt were de-
pleted of the producing portion of the
swine found there. 1t will take two
years, possibly three, to get back to a
normal production of pigs, and in the
meantime the increasing demand for
pork, and the low condition of the
pork barrels of the packers, keeps the
price soaring and ten-cent hogs can
