Four States to Market Fruit
Under One Agency.
After Night Session Pleas for
Harmony Compel Associa-
ton to Yield.

Hood River, Or.-The Hood River
Apple Growers association has decid-
ed to join the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributers. This action was taken af-
ter session Of the board of directors
of the North Pacific Distributors that
lasted all Saturday night and until af-
ter 6 o'clock Sunday.
Hood River growers yielded on their
demand that clearing office be estab-
llshed here, which issue deadlocked
the session, but as a compromise H.
+. Davidson, of Hood River, a mem
Der of the executive committee of the
distributors since its organization last
fall, was given the presidency of the
association in the place of w. T.
Clark, of Wenatchee, who resigned
because his district voted against join
ing the North Pacific association.
Hood River also retains it's present
markets, and William Sieg, sales man
ager of the Hood River association,
will be retained by the distributors
and made member of it's selling
force.
This action really placed the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors on its feet,
because other districts in the Pacific
Northwest have been awaiting Hood
Rivers decision. The new association
proposes to market the apple crops of

BIG FIRE LOSS AT BAKER, OR.
Mill and Lumber Worth $500, 900
Burn in Few Minutes.

Baker, Or.-In IS minutes Satur-
day afternoon fire consumed over
$500, 900 when the Baker White Pine
Lumber company's plant at South
Baker was burned to the ground. The
blaze started at 5:55 o'clock from
sparks from the engine room, carried
to the shavings pile.
H. ]. King, engineer of the COM
pany, saw the fire and tried to fight it
with hose. The flames burst upon
him, badly burning his hands and face.
He escaped just before the building
was mass of flames. The fire spread
rapidly and the fire department was
powerless because of low water pres
sure.
Soon the mill, the box factory and
the huge pile of lumber were burning
and by $50 o'clock there was nothing
but a good-sized bonfire.
The planning mill and box factory
were valued at $3.50, 600 and the lum.
Der at $50, 900. Nearly 100 men are
thrown out of work. The plants were
covered fully by isurance.

CLUBS GUARD SUFFRAGETTES
Disciplined Defenders With Cudjels
Awe London MObs.

London-Defying the police order
closing Hyde Park to their meetings,
the Women's Social and Political
Union sent speakers Sunday, who held
forth there for long time under the
protection of male sympathizers armed
with clubs.
When the comparatively peaceful
non-militant organizations which are
still permitted to use the park finished
their customary small demonstrations,
flags of the Women's Social and Polit-
ical Union were raised at IL different
points and as many speakers har-
rangued the crowds.
Mobs of men and boys started to
rush the speakers, but much to their
amazement, found themselves menaced
by disciplined body guards welding
stout clubs. The crowds had to con-
tent themselves with hooting and sing
ing, while the police looked on without
attempting to check the speakers.

BOY DOES KNOTTY PROBLEM
Mathematical Prodigy Startles Pro.
fessors With Solution.

Philadelphia-This city harbors q
mathematical prodigy and perhaps g
rival of Sidis, of Harvard fame, if his
solution of the trisection of an angle,
a mathematical problem which has
puzzled the ages, meets with the ap-
prevail of several mathematical socie-
ties, including the Universities of
Pennsylvania and Columbia, as we'll as
a number of mathematicians of ma
tional repute to whom the solution has
been submitted. The boy is Sydney
H. Gross, and he is a student at the
Central High School.
The boy mathematician startled the
faculty of this high school the other
day when he told one of the instruc-
tors that he had evolved solution for
the trisection of ansangle. The facul-
ty was so impressed with the solution
that they Immediately submitted a
model of the experiment to Professor
M. J. Bobb, president of the Philadel-
phia section of the Middle States and
Maryland Mathematical association.
The learned professor lectured on the
model to his classes at the University
of Pennsylvania.
A search through mathematical lit
erature has failed to reveal solution
similar to the one submitted by the
youth.

Warm Weather Art Taught at
College.

The warm weather courses in art at
the Oregon Agricultural college sum-
mer session will be conducted mainly
out of doors, to develop a keener ap-
probation of art as applied to the
beauties of nature, and more friend
ly attitude toward art as related to
the happiness of everyday life.
This does not mean that the work
will be superficial, but by approaching
the subject from the point of view of
composition, beauty and use, rather
than from an analytic view point,
there will be aroused better under
standing of the relation of art to daily
happiness, matter of Importance in
an age which lays so much stress on
the utilitarian.

Cream for Butter Making.

Four main defects in farm butter
as compared with creamery butter are
pointed out by O. G. Simpson of the
dairy school at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. He says:
The main defects in farm butter,
as compared with creamery butter,
are bad flavor, staleness or rancidity,
too many shades of color, and unsuita-
bic packages. The flavor is of the
highest Importance, and no matter
how good the butter is in other re-
spects, if flavor is wrong it is classed
as an inferior article.
No matter how skillful the butter
maker is, it is impossible for him to
make strictly first class butter out
of poorly favored or tainted cream.
Cream may become tainted from four
causes: Bacterial infection, absorb
ton of flavors, food eaten, or disease
in the COW. The bacterial infection
may come of unclean cows and stables,
unclean condition of mixers, unclean
utensils, or keeping the cream in I'M
clean surroundings, especially in a
temperature above so degrees.
Absorption of favors takes place
with remarkable rapidity when milk
or cream is allowed to stand in an at
mosphere where odors are present,
especially when the milk is warm
Foods that have strong tastes and
odors such as onions, decayed silage,
old stalky kale, or turnip tops should
not be fed within few hours of milk
ing. Experiments have shown that
milk will not possess the favors of
such foods if. not drawn for eight or
twelve hours after feeding. Cows
that are abnormally heated or excited
before milking give a tainted milk.
Many diseases also affect the cows

STOCK AND GRAIN ARE FREE
Committee Reverses Action to Meet
Presidents Views.

Washington, D. C.-Reversing its
former action in voting to place wheat
flour, oatmeal and fresh meats on the
dutiable list, the senate finance SUBJ
committee in charge of the agricul-
tural schedule voted to place livestock,
wheat and oats on the free list.
This action, it was authoritatively
declared, was taken to meet the views
of President Wilson, Senator Sim
mons, chairman of the finance commit
tee, and other administration leaders,
who disapproved the decision an
nounced previously to tax meats 10 per
cent compensatory to duty on cattle
in the Underwood bill and to assess a
compensatory duty on both flour and
oatmeal.
The vote to reconsider was taken in
the subcommittee on a motion made
by Senator Simmons, ex-oficio mem
Der of all the sub committee handling
the tariff schedules, when he returned
to the capital from a conference with
the President.
In his enlargement of the free list,
President Wilson is known to have
taken leading part, as he did in the
matter of raw wool and sugar before
the ways and means committee. AS
he still is standing uncompromisingly
with the wool and sugar schedules, so,
it is declared, he will stand firmly for
free cattle, sheep and hogs, and free
wheat and oats, now that this has
been determined upon as the party
policy.

Leper Colony Is Temporary.

Washington, D. C.-Some conster-
nation and uneasiness has been occas-
toned by the presence of lepers at Dia-
mond Point, WASH, and the fear that
the Public Health and Marine Hospi-
tai service was to make this not only a
permanent establishment but to send
lepers there from other states. The
feeling became so intense that Senator
Jones and the other members of the
Washington delegation were appealed
to to have the matter investigated.
The Washington members were in
formed by DR.. Blue that the Marine
Hospital service was endeavoring to
find place off the coast of California,
and as soon as this was located and
fitted up as an abiding place for these
unfortunates they would be sent to
this permanent colony.

Shows Defects In Farm Butter
Making.

"a fairly rich cream gives best re-
suits for butter making" says O. G..
Simpson, of the Oregon Agricultural
college dairy school. "A cream that
will test 80 to IS per cent or produce
about three and half pounds of but
ter to ten pounds of cream is good.
Other conditions being equal, a rich
cream will keep longer and churn
more easily than thin cream.
eff the cream is to be kept any
length of time before ripening. it
should be cooled Immediately after
skimming to below go degrees. Tin
containers are preferable to crooks or
other material. Tin allows the tenn
perature to be changed more easily,
and is easier to handle and keep clean.
If two lots Of cream are to be mixed,
they should both assume the same
temperature before mixing"

Peat Soil and Sand for Cranberries

"To grow cranberries you must
have peat SOIL" says Prof. c.. l.
Lewis of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege. eff the soil contains much clay
the vines will grow, but the plant will
not be very productive.
"First the land is thoroughly
cleaned off, all trees, brush, grass and
even grass roots being removed. The
land is then leveled and several inches
of sand, free from grass and salt, is
spread on. 1t is important to keep
the water table within a foot of the
surface during the growing season.
If there is stream of living water on
the land it is all the better, since you
can flood the land with this and help
to keep down insect and frost in
juries.
0. A. c. has no cranberry bulletin
at present, but valuable ones can be
secured by writing to the Wisconsin
experiment station at Madison, the
Massachusetts agricultural college at
Amherst, or by sending for the de-
partment number of Better Fruit,
published at Hood River, Ore, which
contains a special article on cram
berries by c. N. Bennett of Warren
ton, considered one of the best experts
in this industry on the coast.

OsLER THEORY Is REVERSED
Waterman Under As Years Old Dis.
charged From Service.

Washington, D. C. - The Osler
theory is being reversed by the quar-
termasters' bureau of the War depart
ment, through an order, now rieidlv
enforced, which provides that no man
shall be appointed Waterman in the
War department service unless he has
passed the age Of Is years. This fact
came to light recently when the War
department ordered the discharge of
Benjamin Shaffer, Waterman at Fort
Lawton, because he was not vet AZ
years old. Shaffer had served in the
regular army and lost leg in the
service. This brought about his dis
charge from the service, but as soon
as he was able to leave the hospital he
was appointed to the watchman's lob.
Shaffer had not long been on the
pay roll as Waterman before it was
discovered that he was under as and
Immediately this was reported to
Washington, his discharge was or
dered. His previous military service
and the fact that he had lost leg
while serving in the army counted for
naught in his favor.
1t remained for Representative
Humphrey, of the Seattle district, to
appeal personally to Secretary Gar
rison, in order to have Shaffer re-
tanned.
The secretary was readily convinced
that this was a case where the rule
might properly be waived, and thanks
to the Intervention, Shaffer will con-
tinue as Waterman at Fort LaWton.

the flank on the right side, and pull it
up very snug. The ring should be
