Coney Island Swept by Flames.

New York, May 27.-On the eve of
it's opening, Coney Island, the play
ground of New York, was devastated
by fire early this morning, resulting
in loss of s3,000,000. Dreamland,
the largest of the shows, together
with twenty others, concessions, ho-
tells and bath houses were in ashes
when the fire was finally extinguish-
ed. No fatalities resulted, although
a number of employees of the resort
and others had narrow escapes.
Little, if any, insurance was carried,
since the rates for Coney Island were
prohibitive. Had it not been for a
shift in the wind, which changed
from southeast and blew off shore,
Luna Park, Steeplechase and the
rest of Coney Island would have been
fired.
The fire started in "Hell Gate," a
scenic railway close to the entrance
of Dreamland. Three alarms were
Immediately turned in in rapid sue
cession, bringing to the blaze appa-
ratus from Brooklyn, N. Y, New
York city and surrounding suburbs.
Just when Dreamland and the
other amusements burned will be re-
built is not known, but Manager
Gumpertz, of the Dreamland enter
prise, said tonight that the public
might be sure that greater and
finer Dreamland is going to rise from
it's ashes.

Feeding Young Pigs.

At this time of year0most of the
sows have farrowed their spring lit
ters and it is very important that the
little pigs be kept in thrifty, grow
ing condition and developed to ma
turity at minimum cost. A fender
around tie farroWingi pen made of
poles or scantling about ten inches
from the wall and eight inches from
the floor will save the lives of many
little pigs and prevent the SOW from
crushing or injuring them.
Until the pigs are a month old the
only way of feeding them is through
the mother, and the amount of milk
given by the SOW has a decided ef-
feet on the future development of
the young pigs.
Our plan of handling hogs at Glenn
son College is to keep the SOW with
young pigs in the narrowing pen
which has a small lot adjoining for
three to four weeks after narrowing,
then turn them out on green rye,
clover, and Bermuda grass pasture
or rape, which are the only green
crops we have at present. Separate
small movable houses are provided
for each SOW and in addition to the
feed given the SOW, which consists
of little corn and wheat middlings,
the pigs are fed in separate pens on
skim milk and middlings made into
a thin slop, and if no milk is avail
able use middlings and ground corn
or six parts ground corn and one
part tankage. The little pigs also
learn to eat the green feed and when
two months old are weaned. Having
learned to eat we'll, they will feel
the loss of their mothers very little
nor are their digestive organs de-
ranged by any sudden chage Of feed.
This system of feeding is contin-
ued until the early sorghum, Span
ish peanuts, and later soy bean
lots are ready, and the corn and cow
peas. It is important that the pigs
be giTen plenty of clean water and
shade and kept free from lice by
using any cheap heavy oil or five
per cent. solution of any of the stand
ard coal tar products used for this
purpose. Farmers must not forget
that size is largely the result of feed
as well as inheritance, and while
the pig may inherit large size, it re-
quires constant, liberal feeding to
develop it,
In our experiments this year we
are arranging to determine the
number of pounds of pork per acre
that can be derived from the differ
ent crops easily grown in this State.
We would also be glad to get in
touch with farmers who are feeding
pigs this summer.

POLITICAL WIND SHIFTS.
BREEZE NOW BLOWING CHAMP
CLARKWARD.
Apparently Fickle Favor Has Switch
ed from HarmOn.-Speaker is
Merely in Receptive Mood.

Washington, May 28.-Whether it
remains so or not, the political Wlnd
is now blowing steadily in the dlrec-
ton of Champ Clark for president,
and it has been generally admitted
that there has been remarkable
shift in public opinion in the past
few weeks. 1t is not so long ago that
the friends of Gov. Harmon were
enthusiastic in the announcement
that the Ohio governor would cap
ture the Democratic nomination for
the presidency in the national con-
vention in 1912. At that time friends
of Gov. Harmon claimed first place
for him in the race for nomination;
Gov. Wilson of New Jersey was con-
ceded to be a close second by the
Harmon boomers and the first place
was claimed for him by his friends.
Champ Clark was conceded by all TO
be poor third.
To-day the suituation is entirely
changed. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Harmon supporters opened
up campaign headquarters under the
very nose of the Democratic speaker
of the house-in fact an Office in the
house office building was used as the
WASHINGTON campaign headquarters
the speaker has come along so
rapidly that Gov. Harmon has drop
ped from first place to a poor third,
formerly occupied by Mr.. Clark.
There is wide difference of opinion
as to the relative standing OF GOV.
Wilson and Speaker Clarke, but both
sides admit that so far as it is pos
sible to Judge at this time pubic
opinion is almost equally divided.
Thus far in the race Mr.. Clark has
not raised his hand to further his
own political ambitions. Members
of the house who have talked to the
speaker on the subject and who have
urged him to announce his candidacy
have had no success. Mr.. Clark has
no intention at this time of announc-
ing his candidacy. He has made the
fact so plain to his friends that they
have ceased talking to him about 1t.
Speaker Clark is not running away
from the nomination. He is quite
as thoroughly infected with presl-
Dental bacilli as any man In pubic
life. His friends have been given to
understand, however, that the speak
or is going to stand or fall on the
record made by the Democratic
house of representatives. In this
respect he is believed to have an ad-
vantage over Gov. Wilson. 1t is ad-
mitted that the legislative pro-
gramme put through the New jersey
legislature by Gov. Wilson and
against the wishes of the party lead
ers in that State was an extremely
ambitious one, and one which re-
flected credit on the governor. The
New Jersey legislature has adjourn
ed, however, and much that has been
done there has been forgotten out
side of New Jersey. Mr.. Clarks
friends figure that the eyes OF the
country are now ceatered on the
Democratic house and that II the
house performs as Mr.. Clark wishes
and hopes it will perform he will be
in an excellent position to command
a majority of the votes in the Demo-
cratic national convention.
While Speaker Clark may not nave
the undivided support of the Demo-

A Great Invention.

\ In the department called about
People, in the June Woman's Home
Companion, is the following para
graph about Angus Campbell, the
man who invented the machine that
picks cotton: A farmer, when he
saw the machine the first time, said
very wisely: 'It will put the chill
dren to school," :
"Twenty-fve years ago Chicago
pattern-maker went on a pleasure
trip to Texas, where he saw hun
dreds of men, women and children
laboriously picking cotton and drag
ging their STORYTELLING sacks behind
them as they toiled through the hot
fields. Like others before him, he
wondered if machine might not be
devised to do this work better, and
to accomplish in the South a marvel
parallelling that which the great
grain-harvesters have worked in the
wheat-felds of the West. Others had
tried and failed, as he also might
have failed had he not been of the
persevering Scotch strain guaranteed
by his name, Angus Campbell. Com
paratively the grain-harvester pre-
sented a simple problem, for grain
ripens uniformly and the entire field
may be cut at once. But the cotton
bolls mature at different times. A
cotton-harvester, therefore, must be
a machine that thinks-a machine
with sufficient discrimination to pick
out all the lint from the ripened
bolls, yet to pass over those not yet
matured, leaving the delicate plant
unharmed. Mr.. Campbell wrestled
with the problem nearly twenty
years and suffered many discourage
ments and failures before he at last
devised a wonderful contrivance with
countless delicate fingers that will re-
ally pick cotton. It is hard to real
lZS jill tudt LllS lufOut1OA uOdA
to the cotton-growing States. That
it will cut down the cost of harvest
ing cotton two-thirds is moderate
estimate. And, as a farmers wife
thankfully observed, You don't have
to cook for it, Indirectly it will
enormously increase the natural pro-
duction of the chief export staple,
and will save the Southern farmer
tens of millions of dollars each year.
Moreover, where farmers have actu-
| ally been compelled to limit their
cotton acreage because Of the diff
| Guilty of securing labor in the pick
ing season, this ever-ready servant
will enable them to increase their
crops without fear, perhaps doubling
the value of their lands. Better still,
it will release from the drudgery OF
the fields thousands who should
be otherwise employed"

Tacoma, Wash, May 29.-T. n.
H. Gardner, travelling preacher, at
tached to no sect, beat his wife to
death with a club yesterday a mile

Gardner told the officers that he

He said he had received occult mes

WILL STOP ALL
TRAFFIC ON THE

Points on the Upper Willamette

the territory bounded on the south by
Corvallis, will be isolated from water
transportation from the latter part of
July or about August 1 until Octo-
Der 1. Officials of the Oregon City
Transportation company operating
the feet known as the yellow Stack
Line, announced yesterday that the
service would be discontinued for
that period, closing of the Oregon
City locks to deepen the channel.
compelling discontinuance of traffic.
Pressed by unusual demands be-
cause the movement of freight has
been heavier than heretofore, the
company has continued the steamer
Pomona between Portland and Cor
Wallis longer than usual this season,
the water above Salem being too low
as a rule after June 6, but tomorrow
the Pomona will make her last trip
until October. She left yesterday for
the head of navigation, but it is as
sumed that she will have difficulty
making the point, rs the river stood
at two feet and it was expected to
be IL feet today. The vessel will
be laid up here for a few days to be
repainted and undergo a few repairs.
About Tuesday she will go on the
Portland Oregon City run, making
two round trips daily, leaving here at
s and 2 o'clock and leaving Oregon
City at II and 5 o'clock. Sundays
she will make three round tips.
The steamer 0regona will remain on
the Portland-Salem route until the
locks are closed, unless the river falls
more rapidly than expected, the SER
vice then being three round trips a
week. AS the company has no ade-
quate means of transferring freight
around the locks the Salem service
will cease when the basin is blocked.
Without taking into consideration
the loss to the company, growers
along the river will suffer, as the
blockade will be felt at a time when
hop-picking is at it's height and the
movement of pickers is heavy an
nually. They will have to go south
by rail and either walk or be driven
to the river sections remote from
transportation.

A REASONABLE
COMBINATION
BENEFICIAL
YOUNG HAVEMEYER SAYS HIS
FATHER LIMITED PRODUCTION
IN INTEREST OF CONSUMER
STORY is DIAPHANoUSLY AT
TENUATED.
UNITED PRESS Leased w1rr.l

Washington, June 21.-When the
Hardwick sugar investigating COM
mittee resumed its sessions today,
Horace Haveymeyer, a son of the
late sugar king, Henry o. Havemey-
er, was recalled. He testified that "a
reasonable" combination was a posi-
tive benefit to the public. Havemey-
er declared that the merger of the
National Sugar Refining company and
the New York and Yonkers refner-
les into the National Sugar refining
company of New Jersey was more of
a benefit to the public than to the
company. No single man, he de-
clared, could control prices.
He asserted that with the over
production of refined sugar, if the
duty were removed, would result in
the running of the beet sugar Indus
try. AS far as he knew, he asserted,
the combination effected by his faith
er had not resulted in increased
prices, although, he admitted, that
the purpose was to reduce produc-
ton, as we'll as the cost of produc-
ton. AS far as he knew, he said,
there We're no agreements limiting
production or the territory where
each company might trade.
Havemeyer said he thought the in
terstate commerce commission exer-
cised a "fatherly care" over the rail-
roads. He said he believed govern
ment committees regulating corpora
tions would be a good plan.
He said he thought the tendency
of those controlling any commodity
was to do right rather than to effect
unreasonable prices. He was tenn
perorily excused from the stand.

WIPED OUT
BY BIG FIRE

Bakersfield, June 2O.-All wires to
Maricopa are down. News received
here by automobile couriers today is
that fire started in Carriers hotel and
famed by a stiff breeze, spread in
two directions. Soon the telephone
office, telegraph Office and many
stores on the south side of the street
were consumed. Among the burned
buildings were two banks. Their
steel vaults are believed to be intact.
Fighting desperately, the volunteer
fire brigade of 200 finally controlled
the flames after more than half of
the town had been destroyed. The
Lakeview hotel which cost SIS, 900,
was burned to the ground. Chief
Ball was instantly killed while car
rying a line of hose over a roof. He
was struck by an electric wire.
Fifteen persons, it is said, were in

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE
Los Angeles, Cal, June Gloon
tending that the true bills returned
by the grand jury against B. H. Con-
ners, A. B. Maple and F. Ira Bender,
held on charges of attempting to
dynamite the hall of records building,
were illegally obtained, Attorneys
Job Hartman, Lecompte Davis and
Joseph Scott, representing the de-
Tense, appeared before Judge Willis
this morning in an effort to have the
indictments quashed. The state was
represented by Deputy District At
torney Horton. The case vas con-
tinued until Friday morning when
additional arguments will be heard.
The defense asked that the indict-
ments be quashed on the ground that
the grand jury completely over
looked that section of the penal code
which provides that the foreman of
the jury must read to every witness
Section 1924, which explains the wit
ness rights if he is liable to be in
eliminated by the testimony he is
about to give. This law was passed
by the last legislature, signed by
Governor Johnson March 20, and be-
came effective May %.
Deputy District Attorney Horton
admitted that this section of the code
had not been read to the prisoners,
but %contended that inasmuch that
the grand jury started its investiga-
ton into the alleged dynamiting be-
fore this law became effective, it did
no apply to this case. Judge Willis
will rule on the question after hear
ing further arguments, Friday, when
the accused men will also enter their
pleas to the charges.

Washington. June 21.-Denouncing
false statements of the curative prop
critics OF patent medicines, President
Taft today sent a message to con-
gress, urging an emergency amend
ment prohibiting such declarations
on the labels of proprietary medi-
cines. The message says that more
than 1000 cases against medicine
firms making false claims as to the
qualities and the curative powers Of
their compounds have been prepared
for prosecution under the pure food
and drug law.
More than $50 of these cases, he
said, must be dismissed under a rul-
ing of the supreme court of the
United States holding that under the
statute such false claims could not
be construed as misbranding.
The cases Investigated, he said, in
volved some of the rankest frauds the
department Of justice ever had dis
covered.

health of the people, strikes at the
