BOAT UPSET; SIX DROWN.
Father and Babe, Brother and Sister
and Betrothed Couple Perish.

Salt Lake City, Utah-Six persons
were drowned in Utah lake Sunday
when the sailboat Galilee, in which 16
persons were attending party given
in honor of the approaching marriage
of Miss Vera Brown and Edward b.
Holmes, capsized. Among the
drowned were the engaged couple.
The bride-to-be and two of the other
victims were children of Captain Ed
win Brown, owner of the boat.
The boat left Geneva on the east
shore of the lake at 8 o'clock in the
morning and headed west. About one
hour later the boat, struck by a sud
den squall, turned sidewise to the
wind and almost instantly all of the
16 persons aboard were thrown into
the water. The boat turned over and
over, robbing the struggling people of
an opportunity to hold to it. Benja-
min Raymond's little son was the
first TO sink. His father caught him
ana Uney SANK Cogener.
Edward B. Holmes heard the scream
of his fiancee and as soon as he could
locate her in the water he went to her
aid They went to the bottom clasped
in each others arms.
Frank Brown saw his other sister
struggling in the water and went to
her assistance. He was exhausted
when he reached her and she was com
pletely worn out and had given up the
struggle. Her brother caught her but
the chill of the water had so benumbed
them both that they were helpless and
they sank together. Some young men
Of Provo, Utah, who were trying out
a new sail boat, were attracted by
the cries of the survivors. They sue
,eeded in saving 10 persons who had
been in the water an hour and half.

Sea Lion Season on Soon.

Marshfield-The season for hunting
sea lions on the Curry county coast
will begin soon. 1t is likely that some
of the local fishermen who have sea-
going boats will hunt for the sea lions.
In past years the industry has been
carried on quite extensively. There
are many sea lions along different
points on Curry county and they are
valuable for the fat, which is used for
oil, and for the hides, which are
tanned and used in making betting.
The sea lions are shot and picked up
by gasoline boats.

Cotton Cron Looms Big.

Washington, D. C.-Present indica-
tions point to the present years cot
ton crop as the largest the country has
ever produced, according to govern
ment experts. The crop will be great
er by about $500, 200 bales than the
average and larger by nearly 400, 900
bales than the biggest crop the coun-
try ever raised-that of 1904. Pro-
vided conditions as favorable as those
which have prevailed during the last
10 years continue this season, there
should be harvested this year more
than IA, 900, 900 bales.

SCORES BIG TRUSTS
TAFT Says Lumber and Paper Com
bines Oppose Reciprocity.
Confident Agreement Will Pass and
Prove Benefcial-Thinks Peo-
pie Approve Measure.

Chicago -- President Taft, in
speech before the Western Economic
society, here, declared that the princi-
pal opposition to the Canadian reci-
procity agreement came not from the
farmer, but from the lumber trust and
from American manufacturers of
print paper.
In one of the most conspicuous ad-
dresses that he has ever made on
this subject, the president outlined
some of the methods employed by the
advocates of the reciprocity agree
ment; he practically told others that
they were being "buncoed" by special
interests, and said that the result de-
pended not so much upon the United
States senate as upon the people.
"If the farmer and the people at
large" he said, "could be brought
to understand this question they would
no longer fear to vote. .
The president was not sparing in his
words. He told the reasons for the
opposition to the treaty by the lumber
trust and by the paper manufacturers
and, without using names, scored any
firm any of whose members recently
appeared before the senate finance
committee in Washington ostensibly
on behalf Of the national grange.
In spite of the forces that are ar
raigned against it, the president ex-
pressed the belief that the bill will be
passed.
1.-The BILL" he said, will be
passed, if it is passed at all, because
the force of public opinion is in its
favor"

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE|
FRUITMEN INDUSTRIOUS.
Lebanon and Brownsville Folk Have
Fine Section.

Portland - That Brownsville and
Lebanon will build up one of the best
fruit districts of the state in regard to
growing and preserving small fruits
is the belief of j. D. Lee, who visited a
meeting at the former place of people
interested in the industry.
Mr.. Lee went to Brownsville as the
representative of the Portland CONNER
cial club and made an address encour-
aging the organization of fruitgrow-
ers' unions in that district.
"This is very fertile district, :"
said Mr.. Lee, land the future is
bright in this industry. Conditions
are right for the formation of a fruit
union in Brownsville, which probably
will combine with the similar organ
ization already in operation at Leb-
anon.
Berries, cherries, pears, and in
fact all the fruits common to this eli
mate thrive remarkably we'll in that
region. From the earliest time in the
states history the people of that dis
trict have had reputation for being
pioneers in progressive work and all
that is required at this time is the re-
incarnation of the old spirit; organiz-
alton and activity along progressive,
modern lines. We had a good audi
ence with delegation from Lebanon
and | think our meeting awakened
greater interest in fruit culture and
its preservation.

Burned Timber Bill Up.

Washington, D. C.-The house pub
lie lands committee has favorably re-
ported bill authorizing homestead
settlers whose lands were burned over
by forest fires last summer to sell all
the timber seriously injured or killed
by fires and pocket the receipts. The

the interior to sell burned timber on
public lands. An effort will be made
to pass the bill this session so as to
afford relief to settlers.

OLD FARMS LURE AGAIN.
"a WaIla WalIa Families Heed Call
Back to Country"

Walla Walla, Wash" Back to the
farm, is cry that has real mean
ing in Walla Walla. More than two
dozen families have left the city for
their abandoned farms within the past
two weeks. More have announced
their intention of so doing and it is
believed that within year the desert
ed homesteads will be reinhabited.
More than a score of vacant houses
in the city have been left by farmers
who have gone back to their ranches
and several city homes have been put
on the market for sale. 1t is not the
usual summer exodus to the farms.
1t is the belief that the farm is a de-
sirable place to live and the deserted
farmhouses are to be full of life again
after years of desertion.

SEATTLE MAN BUYS IN OREGON
One of the Finest Orchards Brings
$4,000, for 90 Acres.

Grants Pass-Fred G. Cutler, of Sc
attic, has purchased the Elmer Shank
orchard, four miles down the river,
for the sum of $75, 1000. This tract of
land consists of 80 acres in fruit, so
acres in bearing trees IL years old,
and balance in fve-year-old trees.
The output last year was $4,000 boxes
of merchantable apples. This is one
of the best orchards in the country
and the price is the largest ever paid
for single orchard in this vicinity.
Cutler will Immediately bring his
family to Rogue River valley to pass
the summer. A few years ago this
land was sold to Shank for one-half
the present price. Since that time the
new land has been brought to a high
state of cultivation and the number of
bearing trees greatly increased.

LOPEZ EXECUTED AS TRAITOR
Benedict Arnold of Mexican Rebels
Pays Penalty of Turncoats.

Cananea, Mexico-"Red" Lopez,
who was ordered imprisoned by Fran
cisco |. Madero, Jr., on the charge
that he had "sold out" to American
interests while in command of a sec

Aqua Prieta, has been executed. Lo-
PEI was being conveyed from Aqua
Prieta to Hermosillo to begin the
serving of an eight-year sentence.
Conflicting stories are told by the
guard which was accompanying Lopez
One is to the effect that the former
insurrecto leader had attempted to
escape and was shot; another that he
pleaded to be executed rather than be
taken to prison. 1t is alleged also
that Lopez had confessed to having
received 50, 900 for the surrender of
