FRUIT SUPPLIES SHORT.
California Shipments Show Deficiency
of 1850 Cars.

Sacramento, Cal. = Manager Nc
HEWITT, of the California Fruit Dis
tributors, says that shipments of
fruit from this state so far this season
have been disappointingly small. On
July ID, 1910, the total shipments
amounted to 2,460 cars. On the same
day this year the total had reached
only 1882. Allowing for 100 more
cars owing to the increase of the min
lmum weight per car from $4,000 to
70, 600 pounds, would give a total of
1900 as compared with 2,46O last
year, or little more than half.
Owing to this considerable shortage
there has not been enough fruit to 90
around, practically every market re-
questing supplies which were impossi-
BILE to furnish. After this week an
increase in shipments should begin to
cut down this great difference.

CHOLERA HARD TO DETECT.
Disease Does Not Develop for Days,
Making Fight Difficult.

New York, July 19.-How difficult
it is to exclude cholera was brought
out in testimony heard today at the
investigation of DR.. Doty's admins
tration. Emil Lederer, in charge of
the steerage department of the Ham
burg-American line, testified that the
first case of cholera on board the
Moltke did not develop until % days
after the passengers had first been
quarantined in Italy.
All the immigrants at Genoa, Pa
lermo and Naples, where cholera is
now epidemic, had been held five days
in quarantine before they were en-
barked and there was no sign of chol-
era among them when the ship sailed.
DIR. Doty said tonight that the stu
alton in this port was encouraging and
fears of cholera invasion are being
allayed.

Troops Seeking Rebel Band.

San Diego, Cal.-One hundred Mex

Ensenada to the district around AL
amo, where small band of rebels are
said to be operating. Mexican troops
in scouting parties are said to be

sArTLEsHlp MAINE EXPOSED.
Bottom OF Graft Is Bent Upward
Hull Deep in Mud.


Havana, July 1e.-The process Of
removing the water surrounding the
wreck of the Maine was virtually
completed this afternoon, when the
water in the cofferdam was lowered,
leaving the wreck surrounded by is
let's of mud and slime. The depth at
no place is greater than four feet.
The engineers are now confronted
with the serious problem of removing
the mud in which the remains of the
battleship are embedded from a min
imum of 81 feet to depth that can
only be conjectured.
Although the water is now only two
feet lower than in previous pumping
operations, revelations regarding the
hulk have been vastly en-
Iarged by the outspreading of the dis
torted frames ard plating, especially
IN the forward section where the ex-
olosion was most felt.
The structure of the bow as far aft
Is frame Is is now exposed, permit
ing an analysis of the plates, beams,
lbs, ETC., and it has been shown con-
lusively that they originally belonged |
o the structure of the double bottom,
which is now elevated to height of
bout 40 feet above the normal posi-
ion, apparently giving confrmatory
whence of tremendous exterior ex-
losion.
To this view, however, the en-
ineers decline to commit themselves,
lerely admitting the Identification of
arts off the bottom of the ship.

GOLD SECRETS TOLD.
Mining Men in Big Convention at
Grants Pass.

afiio ass
Grants Pass, Or, July 10. - This
city is filled today with mining dele
gates and representative mining men
from Northern California and South
ern Oregon counties. The largest
body of mining men that has gathered
for one purpose in years is now here
to disseminate mining knowledge and
stimulate interest through course of
lectures that are inviting and instruc-
tive.
The big meeting was called to order
by o. S. Blanchard, who gave an adj
dress of welcome. 1t was responded
to by President Young, of the miners
association. who presided over the
afternoon exercises. The principal
lecture work fell upon w. S. Bacon,
of Kerby; DR.. J. F. Reddy, of Med
ford; George c. Bennett, of Horn
brook, and l.. d. Malone, of Portland.
The exercises will continue tonight in
the opera house.
Hundreds of persons today passed
through the exhibit room and saw
what is probably the largest collection
of minerals ever put on display in
Oregon.
Gold and copper mining men say
that the wealth of Southern Oregon
and Northern California is here shown
for the first time, as it should have
been shown years ago.

Aeronaut Drops in Sea.

Asbury Park, N. in. ]. Roberts,
an aeronaut who started in dirigible
balloon to go from New York to Phil

PEERS SURRENDER VETO.
Hope of Future Restoration Of Power

the clock never turn back.
The future career of the veto bill

Boise-Preparations are being made
in the Boise valley and Southern Idaho
as well as all fruit sections in this
state for the handling of the bumper
fruit crop during the late summer and
early fall months. 1t is now esti
mated by expert horticulturists who
have made an inspection of the crop
that the yield will be larger than it
was last year and a better variety.
They declare that almost twice the
choice fruit of this section will be
shipped this year over the amount
shipped last year. The fruit is be-
yond any possible danger of damage.
frosts did little harm, while the I'M
usual amount of rainfall proved the
great boon to the forming fruit.
The New Plymouth Fruitgrowers'
union has contracted for one of the
largest fruitpacking houses erected in
this state, two-story, 40xl00-foot
building, modern in every respect and
to be erected for the handling of this
years crop. The capacity of the
packing plant will be two cars per
day, although this will be increased as
the season advances. New Plymouth
is the site of the plant. This town is
in the heart of the famous Payette
valley. Last year this association
handled 100 cars of fruit and this fall
expects to pack twice that amount.
New Plymouth boasts of a genuine
irrigation wizard in the person of
Walter Burke, who has the manage
ment of 200-acre orchard four miles
southeast of that town. The land on
which the orchard stands is exceed
ingly uneven and is without doubt one
of the most difficult tracts being ir-
rigated in Southern Idaho. There is
not missing tree in the entire 200
acres and test on one of them re-
vealed the startling fact that it was
growing at the rapid rate of a half
inch per day. From June IL to July
IL this tree grew 15a inches by act
ual measurement. This is probably
record growth for the Northwest.
While the fruit conditions never
looked better in the southern part of
this state, the prospects for bumper
hay and grain crop are as good. Dry
farmers will have one of the largest
crops in the history of the country,
due to the late rains. The southeast
ern and eastern part of the state are
favored in this respect. There is
double the amount of land dry-farmed
this year that there was last, and
many experienced ranchers, taking
advantage of the late spring and the
promising rains, planted late grain
crops that will net them big returns
this fall. The second cutting of hay
has been completed in all sections of
the state and from the big yield the
stock feeding conditions in this state
this winter will be the very best. Al
falfa in particular is bearing excep-
tionally heavy.

HUNT LOST BONANZA.
$500 Acres Will Be Searched Care
fully With Pick and Shovel.

luuf WIN flick ana 0n0Vel.
Reno, Nev.-With the filing, Satur-
day, of papers granting a 10-year lease
from the Sierra Nevada Wood & Lum-
Der company to Colonel w. S. Proskey
and associates, covering $500 acres,
partly in Washoe county, is promised
the second chapter in the famous ira
dition of the hidden bonanza that for
years has been the vain hope of count
less prospectors. With the prosecu-
tion of a thorough search over the
entire estate during the next ten years
is linked the extreme probability that
a mine will be found again that has in
the past promised wonderful native
copper and gold-free gold in ore
worth 800, 900 to the ton.
The mine to be sought is the old
Barclay mine that for fifty years has
been talk of miners in the West. The
estate is part of the Hobart estate
and the lease is the final triumph of
men who were successful with the Ho-
bart estate managers. Mining mag
mates, senators and financiers, after
years of effort, gave up before the
blunt refusal of the land owners.
Sufficient financial backing is ap-
parent and already five experienced
are laying out the tract in
sections, each of which viii be gone
over, literally with the point of
pick, before the ten years of searching
are up, unless the discovery is made
before then.
One man knows the location of the
mine and he won't tell. 1t is possible
that the same men who in the face of
history of defeat secured the first
lease from the Hobart estate, may be
able to secure from him the map he
has jealousy guarded for 40 years.
