FIRST CARLOAD OF WATERMEL
ONS
Earnest Efforts to Wreck 1t in the
South, But 1t Will Be Received
TriumphantIv

The irst carload of this seasons
watermelons started from Gambler,
Fla, for New York Friday, an in
teresting dispatch states. 1t adds
that the important event breaks two
records. In the first place, the water
melens cost $400, the largest price
ever paid for an equal number of the
luscious fruit to Florida melon
growers. Again, these melons ripen-
ed more quickly and are shipped ear
lier than any ever grown on the Flor
ida peninsula.
1t seems safe to prophesy that the
watermelon train will not beat any
speed records. Some dark work is a.
doing. Scarcely was the train fifty
miles north of Gambler when, it is re-
ported by watermelon vine, the engi-
neer discovered an obstruction on the
rails-a dead mule. CHANGING into
the shrubbery along the track he
caught a glimpse of shining eyes and
white teeth and glittering knives, and
heard low murmus, expectant, threat
ening:
aha! Watermillions! Yum-yum!%
The obstruction being removed, the
train sped on. Scarcely had it enter
ed Alabama when it was derailed,
and a number of citizens gathered
around it, offering to salvage the wa
termelon car.
"And it won't cost you one cent,
boss" said the helpful, hungry citi-
zens.
Again the train continued its
course. A dispatch states from Rich
mond, Va, that the rumor is spread
ing there that treasure train" is
approaching; that all the money in
the New Orleans mint is being ship
ped to New York. Thus does rumor
grow.
The dealers here who bought the
fruit seemed hopeful last night that
it will arrive safely, and that, costly
as it was, they will reap a rich prof
it. 1t was reported last last night
that large delegation will meet the
watermelon train at Jersey City, and
that in celebration of it's arrival Mi
Meta lane, Thompson street, Sulli-
van street, the east side of Harlem
skirting the river, Ninety-ninth street
between Columbus avenue and Cen
trail Park west and other cafe au lait
sections of the city will be illuminat-
ed.
In word, the welcome that Jack
Johnson has received here will be no
more comparable to the watermelon
trains reception than is a gold tooth
to the diamond mines of Africa
World.

ERNST HAECKEL

The serious accident to the venera-
BILE Ernst Haeckel will be universally
deplored as threatening the loss to
the world of its foremost man of sci
ence.
Haeckel introduced Darwin's theo-
ries to Germany, and by his own
studies in biology and evolution came
to rank with his master During the
more than forty years he filed the
chair of zoology at Jena he made that
small university town the center of
scientific thought on the origin of
species, the descent of man and kim
dred problems, and his materialistic
conclusions exercised a profound in
fluence on religious and speculative
thought. His Riddle of the Uni
verse;" with its denial of the exist
ence of a personal God and implied
refutation of the fundamentals of
Christian belief, was modern sci
ences acutest challenge to reveal re-
ligion.
Haeckels unremitting industry re-
suited in his production of whole IL
brary of scientific works. His popu-
lar fame has been in large measure
due to his combination of the Ger
man professors genius for original
investigation with rare faculty for
making his views clear to the man in
the street-World.

HOG MARKET IS
READY TO SOAR
SMALL RECEIPTS AND
EASTERN PRICES THE CAUSE
Cattle Market Steady and Receipts
Small-Improvcmc Expected in
sheep Situation-Chicago Wheat
Bears Are Bumped.
(From Fridays Journal.)

There was a fair showing of hogs
in the yards at North Portland today
but with the exception of few head
arrivals were from the Missouri river
territory.
With a further advance in the price
of swine at eastern centers, it is quite
natural that further advance will
be forced here in addition to the rise
of l0c reported exclusively by The
Journal yesterday. Top hogs are now
Quilted on the basis of S7.75 in the
North Portland yards although no
sales have been reported beyond $7.65.
This was for willamette valley stock
which always sells 1Oc under the price
of eastern Oregon or Idaho tops.
on the basis of the South Omaha
price local hogs of top quality should
be commanding s7.95 in the North
Portland yards therefore there is
some room for a further advance here
unless the eastern situation eases off
at once
North Portland general range:
Best light hogs .........S ''f5
Medium hogs .......... 1865
Good and heavy hogs -. $500 6.75
