Chicago - Although it sold $780,
000,0 900 worth of farm implements,
the international Harvester company
of America last year made only $780,
900 in profits, or fifteen hundredths of
per cent, said R. c. Haskins. the
president, who testified before spe-
cial examiner in the governments suit
to dissolve the corporation.
Questions were asked by the govern
ment attorney to show that the Inter-
national Harvester company of Amer
lea was merely the selling agent of
the international Harvester company
of New Jersey, and that the latter
company was to make all the money.
''Is it not your object to buy from
the New Jersey corporation at such g
price as will enable you to sell so thai
you will have neither loss nor profit?'
asked Edwin P. Grosvenor, special as
sistant attorney general.
"Our object is to buy as cheaply al
we can and to make as much as posi-

Jersey company at prices we woul'
get from any other company" replies
Haskins.

100000 Invested in Western
Securities This Year.
Portland - More than S12, 900, 900
has been brought from Eastern money
centers and invested in timber bonds
since January l, according to a state
ment made before the Portland Realty
board by Theodore B. Brown. of
Brown & Brown. timber bond brokers.
This new capital was invested in bond
ing propositions, nearly all of which
are in Portland territory.
1.-THE business of floating bonds or
standing timber has reached big pro.
portions during the past few years, u
said Mr.. Brown. 1.-THE ability to real
ize on standing timber by the bonding
method has been of great benefit t.
the Northwest. AS result operators
have been able to continue the loggini
industry to advantage. Hundreds o.
men have been given employment ant
the development of this section hai
been generally aided.
"Oregon and Washington timber
bonds are now in favor with Eastern
capitalists. On account of the eff
cient patrol of the forests, danger
from fires has been reduced greatly
thus providing better security for tim
Der bonds"

Hungarian Parliament Is Scene Of
Unprecedented Uproar.
Budapest-The Hungarian parlia-
ment. which began its opening session
Wednesday, was the scene of free
fight between the police and the dep
uties. The violence was unprecedent-
ed and the din of trumpets, motor
horns and cowbells continued all day
long.
Count Stephen Tisza, president of
the lower house, who was jeered from
the moment he entered the chamber,
surrendered the chair at O'Clock to
Vice President Boethy, but the uproar
did not abate. At o'clock a strong
force of police entered the building.
Count Tisza, who was in the lobby,
said he would summon them into the
chamber itself if necessary. This
eventually was done.
The commandment of police called
upon individual opposition deputies to
leave the house. About 100 gathered
in the center of the chamber, while
their leaders, Count Apponyi anc
Count Itchy, stood in the gangways
and we're joined there by Count An
Grassy and Count Semsey, who are moi
affiliated with any particular party
All attempts to induce them to leave
peaceably failed. When the polio,
advanced to expel them fierce strug
gle ensued.
In some cases it required six police
men to remove one legislator. One o.
the arms of a deputy was nearl,
pulled from its socket. Count Karo
lyi, who has had several experience
of the kind, struck out like madmal
and succeeded in freeing himself from
the police at the door. He rushe'
back and fell fainting on bench.

Frog Lives Ages in Rock.

Los Angeles-Workmen engaged in
clearing and blasting rock on the L..
D. Loomis property, in Santa Monica
canyon. found a frog imbedded in
solid limestone, three feet beneath the
surface. 1t had been encased in rock
for hundreds of years. Apparently
petrified. the amphibian was taken by
the astonished workmen and laid in
the sun. In a few moments it sud
denly showed signs of life. After
several minutes it blinked confusedly,
drew a long breath. and in long leaps
Travelled a hundred feet before the
workmen could recapture it.
The lump of limestone from which
it was taken was carefully packed and
taken to Santa Monica. 1t shows
clearly the exact shape of its occu-
pant, to the minutest detail.

Greater influence on Commerce Thar
Suez Issues of Tolls Drop
ped for Present.

London-The announcement from
Washington that the Panama canal
will be opened formally next year is
signal for fresh discussion of all the
broad possibilities to the undertaking.
So far as the question Of tolls is con-
cerned, there seems to be a growing
disposition to think Europe has been
precipitate in charging Americans
with bad faith or with taking an I'M
fair advantage.
Everywhere ELUSIVE compliments
are written and spoken in light of the
tremendous display of engineering
skill on the isthmus. Pictorial papers
here and in Paris and Berlin give
sketches of the chief objects of inte-
rest along the route and in the con-
struction work. Long special articles,
deal with the revolution the canal is
to bring about in international trade. "
One able Berlin writer thinks that
"the Panama will necessitate greater
notifications of the established sys-
tenn of foreign commerce than were
necessitated by Suez" and adds that
sit is as if Dame Nature had suddenly
decided to alter the course of hel
trade winds"
Another, declaring in London Week
ly, that the canal is the browning
achievement of American force anc
enterprise" makes the significant ad
mission that the '"best business minds
of the empire-Britain- concen
trating upon the commercial revolu
ton which is imminent in order that
irrespective of the willingness Of
Americans to arbitrate concerning
tolls, we may use the new waterway
to the full and may begin to use it the
day it is opened"
