BLAST BLOWS SEVEN TO ATOMS
Prominent Arizona Mining Men Die
on Private Motor Car.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 8.-Heedless Uf
the warning of foreman in charge of
the big excavating operation along the
line of the private motor road from
Kelvin to the Ray copper mines, the
motorman of gasoline car containing
six passengers, ran close to the exca-
walton just as sputtering fuse burned
to heavy charge of dynamite this af-
ternoon, and the car and its seven oc-
cupants were blown to atoms.
The foreman had discovered missed
shot in the excavation at noon and be-
fore the motor car came in sight he had
relighted the fuse.
AS the car approached he signaled
the motorman and warned him of the
impending explosion. Motorman Ly-
all, evidently believing he could take
his car past the charge to safety, be-
fore the explosion, paid no heed to the
warning and started again at full
speed.
Just as the car was passing the
charge, the explosion came, and the
car with its load of human freight was
blown high in the air amid q great
cloud of debris. The lives of all those
inside the car were snuffed out in an
instant. The dead men were all prom
inent in Arizona mining affairs.

New York, Feb. 5.-Once more the.
wireless has averted disaster, for the.
IS. O. S." signal of distress, quickly
flashing through the ether, this morn
ing summoned help to a sinking steam
er and tonight Captain Moon and his.
crew of as men are safe on board the
Mallory liner Alamo, while their ves-
sci, the steamer Kentucky is at the
bottom of the sea off Cape Hatteras.
1t is another case of disaster averted
by wireless and told to the world by
the same medium.
The kentucky, wooden vessel of
996 gross tonnage and 203 feet long,
was bound from New York to the Pa
cific coast for use between Seattle and
Alaska ports for the Alaska-P Pacific
Steamship compny.
First news Of the Kentucky's dis
tress was received at the United Wire
less compsny's station at Cape Hat
teras at IL 80 o'clock this morning.
There the operator heard the rs. o.
S." and quickly followed by this mes
sage:
ave are sinking. Our latitude 10
23:10; longitude 76 :30."
Almost simultaneously the operator
heard the steamship Alamo respond to.
the Kentucky's call for help, informing
Captain Moore that the Alamo was
making all speed to the sinking yes
sells assistance.
Thereafter no message was received
from the Kentucky, indicating that
water had interferred with the power,
puttiny her wireless apparatus out Of
commission.
The navy department at Washington
in the meantime flashed wireless mes
sages along the Atlantic coast, dis
patching the battleship Louisiana,
which was on a 24-hour speed trial
cruise, and two revenue cutters, the
Yamacraw and Seminole, to the scene,
but at 5 o'clock word came from the
Alamo that she had arrived first and
had taken off all hands in safety.
This is the message as received in
New York by the United Wireless
company from its Cape Hatteras sta
tion:
Latitude 92:46; longitude 1923
Steamship Alamo has just taken Cap
tain Moore and crew of 46 men from
the sinking Kentucky. Water had al

Friendly Spirit to Govern Tariff Ad-
mInistration.


mInistration.
Berlin, Feb. Z. - Chancellor Won
Bethmann- Hollweg today sent to the
reichstag the following communica-
tion regarding the German-American
tariff agreement:
"The American government has de-
clared that the livestock question is
withdrawn wholly from the negotia-
tions, on the condition that the unlim-
tied enjoyment of Germany's conven-
tional tariff be conceded to the United
States.
at further agrees that the aovsn-
tages of the American minimum tariff
shall be extended unrestrictedly to
Germany after March 81.
"That the customs administrative
features of the existing tariff arrange
ment shall remain in force.
"That this extension Of the mini
mum tariff to Germany secures to her
treatment in accordance with the most
favored nation clause.
"That the American customs admin
istrative regulation shall be applied to
German goods in friendly and con-
spirit.
"That the present agreement re-
specting the labelling of wines shall

ADJOURN in DEADLOCK.
Miners and Operators Unable to
Reach Agreement.

Miners and Operators Unable to
Reach Agreement.
Toledo, o., Feb. 7,--Unable to ef-
feet an organization because of the
deadlock on the admission of miners
delegates from Illinois, the joint wage
conference Of the bituminous coal oper-
ators and miners Of Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania adjourned tonight sine
die.
no provision was made for another
meeting. The adjournment it is de-
clared, does not mean necessarily a
suspension of work at the expiration
of the present contract, April /.
This would affect all bituminous dis
tricts controlled by the United Nine
workers, as they decreed at their In
dianapolis convention that no district
should sign wage scale until the
scales for all districts were negotiated.
Both sides have declared, however,
that they will not recede on the Illinois
proposition.
Some plan may be worked out to get
the miners and operators together
again before April /. 1t may be call
for another convention or the selection
of representative scale committee.
A meeting of the executive boards
of the miners was called for tomorrow.
The night session lasted only short
time.
AS no one had anything to say, the
futility of continuing the session was
expressed by President Lewis. His
suggestion for dividing the responsible
ity for adjournment was followed. A
delegate from the miners moved to ad-
journ and one from the operators sec
onded it.
A call by states resulted in the only
vote recorded in the meet
ing.

Oregon Flre Relief Makes .Repor


Salem-Insurance Commissioner Ko-
ger has received the first annual state
ment of business done during 1909
from the Oregon Fire Relief associa-
tion, of McMinnville. During the
year the total income of this mutual
concern was $169, 491.77, which is a
big business. The losses paid equaled
STA, 101.95. The total expenses for
the year were S5O,811.55, which is
about 80 per cent of the business trans
acted, and is a remarkable showing.
Expenses of most insurance companies
run from 35 to 45 per cent Of the busi-
ness, computed upon the income as a
basis. The assets of the Oregon Fire
Relief are fixed at 1854, 1854. 80, and its
liabilities ar $85, 045.56.

Goose Lake Sugar Beets Excellent.

GoOSe Lake sugar 6eeIS ENCeHent.
Lakeview-There is considerable un-
favorable comment locally on account
of the failure of the Lakeview board
of trade to ship the samples of sugar
beets grown in Goose Lake valley the
past season as an experiment to the
state agricultural college at Corvallis
for analysis as to sugar contents of
same. The seed had been furnished
the board of trade by an Eastern sug-
ar beet factory, and they had promis-
ed with the advent of the railroad a
sugar factory, should experiments
prove successful.
The fact remains that sugar beets
grown in the valley, as far as size,
yield and looks are concerned, compare
most favorably with those grown in
any sugar beet district in the country.

NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
TALKS APPLE TO MEN.
Prof. jackson, of Oregon Agricultur-
al College Gives Timely Hints

Prot. jackson, OF Oregon Agricultur-
al College Gives Timely Hints
Portland - "Apple Tree Anthrac-
nose," was the subject of the lecture
delivered by Professor H. S. jackson
of the department of plant pathology.
Oregon Agriculture college, before the
Apple Culture club at the Y. M. C. A..
The lecture provoked numerous queries
from the large number of apple enthus-
lasts present
"With the possible exception Of
scabs," said Professor Jackson, cap
pie tree anthracnose is the most de-
structive disease of the apple known
in the Pacific Northwest. The disease
is easily recognized in midsummer by
the presence of elongated cankers or
sunken aeras in the bark of the small
Ter branches. 1t is caused by para
site fungus, and must be treated by
covering the tree with some fungicide
substance that will prevent the germ
ination of the spores and SO keep the
fungus from entering the tissues. At
ter the fungus enters the bark no treat
ment can be applied that will not kill
the tissues as well. In other words,
the treatment must be preventative
and not curative.
"It has been found by Investigators
as we'll as by growers that the only
satisfactorygmethods of controlling the
disease is by spraying before the in
fection takes place, with the Bordeaux
mixture or lime-sulphur.
Professor Jackson called attention to
the fact that the life history of the
fungus causing apple tree anthracnose
and the successful treatment were first
worked out by Professor Cordley Of the
Oregon Agricultural college.
