WHEAT upon O.-W.
IN OREGON SHOWS
INCREASE OF z IA

Portland, Or, July 12-Reports
from agents of the O.-W. II. G. N. re-
ceived by Traffic Manager r. b. Mil
Ter, indicate that the wheat crop in
this railroads territory In Oregon
will be 1875 per cent greater than last
year. This is greatly in excess of and
in contract to the Prop prospects for
O.-W. r. & N. territory in Idaho and
Washington. In the Snake River
country. including Camas prairie, the
indication is for a crop Is per cent
less than last year. while in Wash
ington south OF the Snake river the
crop will be. according to present
prospects. only 10 per cent greater
than last year.
Mr.. Miller estimates that the crop
in o.-W. r. G. N. territory In the In
land Empire this year will be 25,-000,-
900 bushels, where It was 10000, 900
bushels last year.

PACIFIC COAST At
MERCY OF FOE IN
Time OF BATTLE

Portland, Or, July 12.-"If we had
war tomorrow we would lose the Pa
cific coast and a foreign foe could
land force of 100000 on our shores
In "a hours. OF course, we would re-
gain the territory thus wrested from
us at the first blow, Dut to do so
would cost so many millions OF dol
lars that an annual program OF four
battleships would seem trivial. A
battleship costs money, but 1t is the
cheapest kind OF insurance. Let me
urge your representatives in congress
to work for. larger navy. We should
start building at least four battle
ships year for the next ten years.
Do this and there'll be no war;"
In the foregoing words, and in
tones that showed his earnestness and
sincerity Admiral Albert Reynolds Of
the Pacific reserve fleet opened an
address to prominent citizens OF Port
land who attended luncheon given
the admiral in the Imperial hotel by
the Portland Elks' commission.
Great itnerest was manifested in
the speech of the admiral, as 1t was
the first time he has attempted a
public address since his arrival here
Monday afternoon.
II did not intend 20 get into this
subject of upbuilding the navy" con-
tinued the admiral, ''as / am an en-
thusiast on 1t, and when 1 ride my
hobby sometimes forget to stop. But
gentlemen of Portland, l want you
to use your best efforts to have con-
gress adopt liberal policy of battle
ship construction. And the time
to construct a battleship is not after
war has been declared, but during
peace.
You can't buy battleship in time
of war from any other nation, and
you can't build one in less than two
years. So the only way to do is to
build plenty of them while we can.
The United States, as far as her sea-
board is concerned, might as we'll be
two nations. A point on the Atlantic
coast is now distant from the CORES
ponding point on the Pacific coast
something like 10000 miles, and even
after the Panama canal is completed
the distance will be 10000 miles.

the system in a lecture before the
German Society for the Protection of
Bird Life. The Dutch experiment he
says. is based upon the belief that
birds are not killed to any great ex-

Chicago, ILL.,. July 12.-Leading
shorts were active buyers OF wheat

Fine conditions all over the north

more liveral hedging of southwest

top the rungs are placed about four
inches apart, but lower down the in

places so as to accommodate the larg-

the destruction of birds has been
greatly diminished by this device. 1t

BENERIT TO THE PrBLIc.
Negro Invents System Of Dials for
Trains and Stations.

N. e. Barnes, negro, of Willis,
Texas, is the inventor Of two nov
ties designed to benefit the travelling
public One is station Indicator and
the other an improved bulletin
board
The Indicator is intended to occu-
Ply about the same position In a pas
senger coach as is occupied by the
fare register in a street car. After
every station the Indicator, under
the operation Of the, conductor,
flashes the name of the next station
and its distance from the starting
point. The inventor intends to ado
another development later on in the
shape of a time clock which will
show whether or not the train Is on
time. The device will be given u try
out on the Galveston and Houston
interurban line in the near future.
The station bulletin board wassin@
vented with a desire to obyiate the
many troubles arising from the use
of chalk. Station agents In markin,,
up the time of a train are apt to be
poor at figuring, contends Barnes,
and the result is confusion to the
traveller. Rain and wind also tend.to
make the chalk marks illegible.
Barnes device is a system OF
dials, Two of these are set after eao.l
train listed, one showing the sched-
uled time of the train and the other
indicating hours and minutes late

Prospects for democratic victory
at the election in November are
bright indeed, but in order to make
the victory certain true democracy
must be preached necessarily
Changing parties, without changing
the principles for which those pa
ties stand, simply amounts to moth
ing. A democrat that is democrat
can win, and in such victory the
people might reasonably expect re-
lief, but the election of a democrat
IN name only is not possible. reither
Is 4 advisable.
