INVADERS TO FEEL Ak
Foreign Corporations Operating IN the
State Under Ban

Salem-Declaring that the State OF
Oregon is losing approximately from
$4,000 to $4,000 annually because
of foreign corporations entering THIS
state to transact business without
complying with Oregon laws requlr-
ing the filing of certain papers and
the payment of declaration and an
nual license fees, Secretary OF state
Olcott is sending out letters to all
district attorneys in the state request
ing them to advise him of all such
corporations in his district that the
fines and license fees may be recov-
cred by actions at law.
1T does not seem to be generally
known" said Secretary Olcott in a
statement, that there is any penalty

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE.
GOOD APPLE CROP IN EAST.
Northwest Condition Brighten as
Season Advances.

The Northwestern Fruit Exchange
gives the following report of apple
crop conditions:
Since the date of our last bulletin.
NO. "a, no changes of special i'm
portance have been reported to the
exchange. Statements in regard to
the crops east of the Missouri river
are conflicting in many ways, but
the general tone confirms the previ-
ously reiterated advices that the
yield In those districts will be much
larger than has been harvested for
number of years. Many sections
In the east have been visited with
abundant rains which have helped
strengthen the situation. On the
whole, the rains have been of excep-
tlonal value at this time, following
the extremely hot weather and Sc
we're drouths. The June drop will
be much heavier than was expected.
Whlle number of localities report
blasting of some varieties. 1t seems
certain that New York and Michigan,
at least, will have bumper yields,
especially in the fall varieties. The
Vlrglnlas promise very fair crop,
although smaller than that of 1910.
information from New York state
under recent date shows heavier
droppings than is considered desir-
able in some localities, while others
report blasting, but on the average
conditions indicate an exceedingly
large volume of tonnage.
Michigan reports are Of the same
general character.
virginia reports are recent and
comprehensive. The Shenandoah Val
ley and eastern panhandle of West
Virginia promise crops of unusually
fine quality, but on the whole the
quantity will hardly exceed 60 or 65
per cent of last years harvest. The
shortage is attributed to the last
late frost, and the excessive drouth
lasting three weeks. The drop has
also been abnormally heavy. The
falling off in the older orchards,
which bore heavily last year, will be
offset, to a large extent, by the great
acreage of young orchards just COM
ing into bearing. The Shenandoah
Valley was visited by severe hail
lightning and wind storms on June
9, the effect of which could not be
determined at the time of our ad-
vices. Whatever damage has resulted
in the southern parts of the valley
may be equalized by the benefit of
rainfall in the northern sections.

WOMEN EXPECT SUFFRAGE.
Order of Minister Is All That Is
Required in Mexico.

Mexico City-A suffrage movement,
which promises to become a factor
in Mexican politics, was launched re-
Gently by a woman's club number
ing in its membership many of the
more prominent women of the capi-
tai under the new regime. In a pc,
tition directed to Emilio Vasquez
Gomez, minister of Interior more
than 500 women, who style them
selves friends of the people," de-
mand the right to vote and hold
office. They announce their choice
for president and vice-president, de-
.claring every favor, respectively,
Francisco l. Madero and DR.. Fran
cisco Vasquez Gomez.
If their petition receives the at
tention the women appear to expect,
the department of the interior will
command all authorities throughout
the republic to inscribe the names
of all women desiring to exercise the
franchise on the ron of voters and
to accept their ballots together with
those of the men. The petitioners
base their demands on guarantees
contained in the constitution, which,
they declare, applies to women as
well as to their brothers.

5000 BIBLES IN PARADE.
Demonstration Is Feature of Meth
odsts at San Francisco.


San Francisco-A parade of men,
estimated at 5000 in number, each
bearing Bible, formed the most
spectacular feature of the session of
the International Sunday School AS
sociation convention. One section
of the parade consisted of Civil
War veterans. The parade was re-
viewed by women delegates and by
the convention officials, in addition
to thousands of assembled specta-
tors.
Among the important features OF
the days session was the report of
w. G. Pearce, superintendent of the
adult department. The report says
that the past triennium has been one
of continuous progress in adult Bible
class work.
In a paper on "The Ten Years
an Asset and an Opportunity" Dr.
Edgar Blake, of Chicago, assistant
corresponding secretary of the Board
of Sunday Schools of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, said:
THE evangelical churches of Amer
lea are facing very serious situa-
tion. The six leading denominations
showed a net increase of only 1884,
600 members in the year 1910 This
represents the combined efforts OF
more than 100000 churches and H.
100000 church members. Each net
gain of one represents the years
work of A church members and the
cash outlay of more than $685.
The speaker said that unless there
was a change for the better the
church sooner or later would face
the problem of existence.

umatilla Wheat Good.

Athena-The outlook for a bumper
wheat crop on the Umatilla Indian
reservation was never better than
now. The wheat is well headed and
there is plenty of moisture in the
land to fill the heads with grain.
If weather conditions remain as ia
vorable for the next 30 days as they
have been for the past month a yield
of so bushels to the acre will be a
common occurrence. The acreage in
wheat in this vicinity is somewhat
greater than last year. Farmers are
already getting their harvesters in
readiness for the coming crop. Sew
eral combines will be run by gas
machines this year.

OREGON CITIES PAVING.
Numerous Towns Are Engaged in
Some Permanent Street Work.

La Grande-The Warren Construc-
ton company has completed the paw
ing of Sixth street and has begun
work on Main avenue. Washington
avenue is also being graded and the
rock has been laid for one block. On
Elm street everything is awaiting the
hot stuff which will be applied as
soon as Main avenue is completed
With these and other streets paved
and Second, West, Adams and South
Fourth macadamized, La Grande will
surely have as many first-class
streets as any town or city of it's
size in Oregon.

Salem-The city council has agreed
to lay hard surface pavement on
East State street instead of ma
cadam. 1t is the plan of the state
to construct a boulevard connecting
the penitentiary and the asylum II
this street is paved, and that will
mean much travel on the street and
in the Judgment of the council, makes
it imperative that a hard surface
pavement be laid.
Medford-Last year nearly 100000
square yards of hard surface pave
ment was laid in Medford Con-
tracts aggregating nearly 100000
completion this year. This amount,

this year.
Forest Grove-Street improvement
work is going rapidly on. bitches

North Second avenue to Pacific ave-
nue. have been made and are prac-

constructing the Is blocks of hard
surface streets for which the city
has contracted.
Baker-Street paving IN Baker has
been delayed several times, but ac-
tive work is now being pushed for
10
ing this year that there has been
some anxiety that the delay might
prove sufficient to prevent the COM
pletion of all that is contemplated.
Springfield-At an adjourned meet
ing of the common council a resolu-
tion was passed providing for an ad-
ditional bond issue of $4,000, to be
expended in street improvement.
This action is in line with the coun-
ellis plan to make Springfield mod
