GRADE CROSSINGS HIT.

Washington Commission Desires I'm
mediate Action.
Olympia-In its forthcoming report
to Governor Hay, the Public Service
commission will urge the necessity
for legislation which will allow the
elimination of dangerous grade cross
ings in the state of Washington exist
ing before the 1909 grade crossing
law, which allows the commission to
prescribe what crossings shall be es-
tablished thereafter, was passed.
The commission prepared and pre-
scented to the legislature of 1911 law
authorizing the elimination of any
dangerous grade crossings in the
state, the railroads, counties and the
state to bear their proportionate share
of the expense of elimination. "But, .
says the commission, in matter pre-
pared for it's report, "the legislature
was not sufficiently impressed with
the necessity and Importance of such q
bill, apparently.
"The time is now ripe for such
Legislation. Railroads. county and
municipal authorities indicate their
willingness to assist. Public senti-
ment is demanding action and the
responsibility now rests with the next
Legislature.

Farmers Buying Cattle.

Observation-Disclosures valley ranch
ers have spent more than $125, 900 for
dairy and stock cattle in the last four
months, according to bankers in the
valley. It is estimated that at least
half and probably larger percentage
has gone for the purchase of dairy
cattle. Several more farmers are now
negotiating for cattle from other dis
tricts, so that the total amount to be
spent for cattle in the last six months
of 1912 will run between $3.50, 600
and $500, 900. One man is now in
another state endeavoring to purchase
high-grade cattle. This man expects
to invest at least $40, 900 in stock.
One rancher has invested approx
mately $50, 900 in cattle, while three
others have averaged $4,000 each.
Many ranchers have purchased small
dairy herds, their investments ranging
from $500 to $4,000 each.

FARMERS BUY STOCK CATTLE
Oregon Called Upon for Good Cows
for Bree ding.

Colfax-Henry Larkin, live stock
dealer, has gone into Oregon to ar
range for extensive shipments of
stock cattle into the Palouse country.
Mr.. Larkin has orders for nearly 1000
head from farmers and stockmen Of
the Inland Empire, who plan to raise
more cattle. Nearly all of the orders
are for cows for breeding.
Mr.. Larkin has made two large
shipments, one of nine carloads and
another of five carloads, during the
last few weeks. Increased freight
rates have cut down the profits of the
business and Mr.. Larkin is trying to
secure return to the old rates.
The freight rate on carload of cat
tie from Baker, Or, to Colfax is now
$88, an advance of $40 car since Oc-
tober l. The freight on a carload of
cattle from Baker to Spokane, 88
miles further, is only $51, or $37 less
than to st0p the car at Colfax.

Demand for Apples is Good.

Toppenish-Red apples, glossy and
high colored, are in demand through
out the world now, according to
Charles w. Grant, assistant manager
of the Richey & Gilbert company, who
has been filling Christmas orders for
the United States and foreign lands.
Chief in demand, highest in price,
have been the Arkansas Black, now
selling at $1.75 in carload lots. This
figure is even better than that secured
for Jonathans, Winesaps and Spitzen-
bergs. One of the most interesting
demands, however, is for the old-fash-
ioned Ben Davis and the Gano, kin
dred apple, now desired by Texas,
New Mexico and Mexico. Carload af-
ter carload of these are going to Mex
leo City. Chicago and New York
keep up a constant demand for the
Winesaps, Jonathans, Spitzenbergs
and similar red apples.

MUCH ENERGY BEING WASTED
Railroad President Says Cities Hold
Men Needed on Farms.

Minneapolis - The needs of the
Northwest with regard to proper agri-
cultural development, and the financial
problems of the United States as they
relate to agriculture of the Northwest,
were the principal themes Of discus
sion at the opening of the second an
nual Minnesota Conservation and Ag-
ricultural Development congress. held
in connection with the Northwestern
Products exposition here.
James j. Hill was the principal
speaker, delivering an address on ag-
ricultural development in Minnesota.
Intelligent agriculture alone will in
crease yields, keep the soil unim-
paired, reduce loan rates and keep
men on the farms, in the opinion of
Mr.. Hill.
Seasons like the present are only
breathing spaces for rectifying the err
rors of the past, he said. "The lean
years will come again. They will be
leaner than ever, unless the lessons of
experience are accepted. Men are be-
ing wasted in the city who are needed
in the country. We must recognize
the farm as the cornerstone of nation
al prosperity and national character" "

STORM TOLL LARGE.
Jamaica Hurricane Kills IOO-Ships
Sink With Crews.

Sink With Crews.
Kingston, Ja.-The official estimate
of the dead in the hurricane and tidal
wave that visited the western part of
Jamaica, places the number at more
than 100 on the coast towns alone.
Details gradually coming in, indicate
great devastation in the western Sec
ton.
Practically all lighters, coasting
sloops and small craft in the harbors
of Green Island, Montego, Lucea and
Savanna la Mar foundered and large
portions of the crews were drowned.
Many persons living in these towns
lost their lives in the collapse OF
buildings.
The houses of the American colony
at Montego were badly damaged but
no casualties are reported. The gov
ernor-general of Jamaica, Sir Sidney
Oliver, has reached Montego bay and
found conditions so direful that he i'm
mediately ordered the dispatch of sew
eral hundred additional tents and
large quantities of food supplies from
Kingston. The railway lines now are
working within 20 miles of Montego
bay, but the telegraph lines are disor-
ganized.
The tidal wave at Savanna la Mar
was the highest in century. One
coasting vessel was washed half q
mile up the beach.

"There is just as much reason for i'm

More than 5000 grangers from 80

Hackery, of Hood River, second.
There were eight competitors in the
25-box Spitzenberg class, five of them
being from Hood River.
Hood River prides itself particular
ly in its Spitzenbergs and its Yellow
Newtowns, and the growers from that
district confidently expect to win first
and second in both classes.
Competition was close in all the
single box classes. In four classes
the Judges were required to make a
second examination to determine first
and second places.
Much interest has centered in the
Oregon Agricultural college display in
the basement. Professors and stu
dents were constantly busy explaining
to visitors the various features of
their exhibits. The soil tests, the
moisture experiments, the bacteria
logical display and the seed analyses
held particular interest.

PLEA FOR WARSHlPS MADE.
Navy League Prepares to Show ia

Washington, D. C.-Members OF
the Navy league of the United States
are preparing statement to be pre-
scented to congress to back up the de-
mand of the general navy board, pre-
sided over by Admiral Dewey. which
recently reported that congress should
appropriate for four battleships at the
next session or this Nation would fall
behind even japan in the race for ma
val supremacy.
The statement shows that Ger
many, the nearest rival of the United
States, is rapidly outstripping this
country in strength, even if congress
appropriates for two battleships a
year, as has been the programme for
several years, until the last session,
when the Democrats refused to allow
more than one battleship.
At the present rate of ship building
of both countries, Germany in 1915
will possess 81 capital warships and
the United States only II.
