three-quarters inches in diameter
at the breech and two and seven
eighths inches at the muzzle end
of the gun. The grooves in the
steel jacket have full access to the
atmosphere at the breech, thus
forming series of inclosed air
ducts running the entire length OF
the barrel. Each time the gun is
fired the ejector action of the dis
charge blast sucks through these
ducts, from the rear, draft of air
which serves to carry off the heat
transmitted to the jacket from the
barrel. The cooling Is automatic
in action, without the use of water
or other cooling liquid and witho~
mechanism or moving parts. AS
aluminium has six times the heat
conductivity OF steel and but one
third its weight, this very effective
method of cooling the gun adds

COWS BRING CASH
TO APPLEGATE PEOPLE.

B. NJ. Clute, we'll known farmer
of the Applegate country, was in
this city Friday, bringing in a wag-
on load OF butter from the Valley
Pride creamery, a cooperative insti-
tuition of which he is one of the
directors.
Mr.. Clute says that the creamery
made during the first half Of the
present month 1000 pounds of but
ter. for which it finds ready mar
ket at 20 cents per two pound roll.
Butter fat is at present bringing 80
cents per pound, with the prospect
that il will advance to 81 - cents
within a few days, with a cores
bonding advance in the price of but
ter.
How profitable the farmers Of the
Applegate are finding the dairy in
dustry is proven by the experience
of Pittocl Bros, who have a farm
on Humbug creek From seven COWS
that are run as side issue to the
other farming operations butter fat
amounting to S91.Sj was sold dur
ing the past month.

WAR In THE BALKANS.

SOFIA. Bulgaria, Oct. 22.-Dis-
aster to the Turkish arms all along
the line of battle from the Greek
frontier to the Black Sea, was Off
cially announced here today The
government reports declare that the
Bulgarian troops have pierced the
Moslem line of defense in a dozen
places, isolating the detached forces
of the Turkish troops throughout
the whole territory.
No confirmation of the reports is
yet to hand, but if they are correct
and if the Bulgarians have over
whelmed the Turks throughout such
a stretch of country, it means an al
most irreparable Turkish disaster,
the almost certain fall of Adrianople,
the opening of the way to Constant
inople and a probable great battle
near the shores of the Bosphorus in
which will be decided the continu-
ance or the fall of Mohammedan
domination in Europe.
The reported victories of the Bull
garians and the absence of reports
of any serious setback to the Greeks,
Servians or Montenegrins, are taken
as indicating that the quick move
ment of the Christian allies has
caught the Turks in a state of un-
preparedness, from which it will be
to rally With their first
line of defense shattered by the Bal
kan allies, there is hardly a doubt
that Adrianople will fall before an
attack in which it will be impossible
for the Turks to attempt a fanking

the allies probably will
