IN SEPARATE MEASURE.
Amendment Making Ware

May Be Adopted.

Democratic insurgents on the our
renoy question have declared them
selves much encouraged.
With the Administration measure
under attack in the cauaus Ey those
Democrats who seek to write into the
measure provision which would give
the farmer currency on bis crops,
President Wilson has issued a state
ment committing himself TO rural
credit legislation at the next session Of
Congress. He set forth that the sub.
ject could not be adequately handled
in the present hill and that separate
and distinct machinery for handling
Of rural credits should be established.
President Wilson in outlining his
rural credit plan said:
especial machinery and distinct
system of banking must be provided
for il rural credits are to be success
fully and adequately supplied. A
Government Commisson is now in
Europe studying the interesting and
highly susceesful methods which
have been employed in several oouu-
tries of the Old World, and it's report
will be made in congress at regular
session next winter. 1t 10 confidently
to be expected that congress at that
session will act on the recommenda.
tions of that report and establish a
complete and adequate system Of rural
credits.

EUROPE GETS OUR PEACHES
Only Rich Britishers Know What Fruit
Really Tastes Like.

Europe is going to get taste of
real peaches from the Pacific North
west, says the Journal. A carload
shipment from Yakima is being pre-
pared for shipment under the direction
Of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange.
The shipment will consist of car
load of Elbertas and only the best
quality fruit will be included. Special
packing will Ee necessary in order to
insure arrival of the supplies In the
best possible condition. While the
regulation boxes will be utilized. The
layers will have a wood fiber cushion
to insure them against rough handling
and possible damage in transit across
the Atlantic.
This will be the first time that any
real serious attempt has been made ty
fruit-shipping interests to send a big
supply Of Pacific Northwest peaches
to Europe. While other shipments
have gone forward. they have been
more in the nature Of trial than any
thing else. This will lie the first time
that shipment will te made on real
commercial basis. The peach ship.
ment is not being made to England
because Of the fzyle Of former ship
ment by other interests. England il

Dead Fish at Pendleton.

Mystery surrounds the killing of
thousands of fish. including trout.
whlteflsh and suckers. in the Umatilla
river at Pendleton. The sight Of the
floating fish attracted a large crowd
on the Main street bridge. the water
just above the dam being filed with
dead fish. An investigation Is heing
made by the local Fish and Game as
ISOLATION. II is believed that some
poison in deadly quantities either was
thrown or found its way into the
river. An army of small boys waded
in and pulled out many f1sh that
we're still weakly struggling.
When the police discovered what
was going on they compelled the
youngsters to throw the fish back
fearing poison. A similar poisoning
of fish occurred there about two
years ago.

MODEL CONVICT SET FREE
Confined in Penitentiary for Killing
Josephine County Man.

"Good bye. boys; I'm going; good
luck TO you," said Charles Slegle, for
years known by keepers and prisoners
alike az "Oregon's model convict, !"
as he left the mess hall and walked
into the office Of Superintendent Law
8, of the State penitentiary Monday
afternoon, free man.
Slegle had been confined in the pen.
itenitaTy for 20 years for killing a
man in Josephine county, and not once
in the entire time had he caused the
management the slightest trouble.
The man was given conditional
pardon ty the Governor and Superin-
tendent Lawson announced that he
had obtained employment for him.
But the superintendent would not say
whare his late charge was going or
who would be his employer explaining
''it will be better for him."
So long had Slegle been in the pris-
on no one about the institution knew
the details of the crime Of which be
was convicted. The convicts tell q
story that when he was 10 years Of age
be became engaged to marry. but his
wages we're small and he could NOT
raise the necessary amount in an hon
est way. They say he killed thu
man for the purpose Of robbery. Bur
whether he married the girl they dt
not know. Superintendent Lawson
does not know for he has no record oi
| the case.
"AlI know about it," said the
superintendent, 'is that Slegle haf
been model prisoner and l am GLAD
he has a good home. He Is about 4l
years of age now and. although bald
does not look older than the ordinary
men of that age. He told me wher
be left il we ever wanted him just tt
send for him. He went from here t.
Portland and from there will go tc
his new home. He had teen trust,
for several years and was valuable

HOWARD MAY
 MAKE RECOVERY
Physicians Held Out Some Hope Last Night = First Aid Given by Tombstone Physician Alter Accident

Though he has not yet passed he danger point l.amour Howard engi-. neer Of the ill lated engine that caus-| ed the death Of the two women at
 Fairbank and may vet cost Howard his life. Is showing some improvement in his condition, according to report last night. The doctors nov believe that should his rally continue lt D.ilI not be long before he is out of danger
 In connection with the frightfdl sc- eident Of Saturday. il is to be said that every endeayor was made 10 get medical aid on the scene as Qitiskiy as possible. Also as soon as h was realized the victims Of the expos.on were injured the quickest possible time was made in getting a specloI train 10 the scene to bring tho lh4ee to the Copper Queen hospital.
 The first physician to reach the scene in responce to the telatstUue calls was Dr. Gratou, Of Tombss3ne. who made a fast run to Fairbank. .tc reached there at 2:20, twenty mil. utes after called on the phone and inn medlately set about extending hrst aid relief Dr. 1ran1on arrived shortly afte- o'clock on the train from Naco at which time pr. Grston received his assistance and together they did all thereafter that could te done to ease the sufferlngs of inc victims of the explosion
 It was apparent from the first ,ha there was no hope for tht lives of .,he women, an amount of body surface having been burned and scaldel that precluded chance of recovery. It wa. also evident that internal burns had been sustained from inhalIns th steam which rushed upon them. ShoIl- howard reooer from his burns. .t will be due to wonderful vitaiirs an. treatment of the most skillfaI char acter. Few cases are saved wherein as much skin surface has been de- stroyed as in his case. Yesterday 4t was determined that his sight will b. saved in the event of his recovery. At first 1t was thought that tho burns sustained about the eyes made rcccy- cry of the sight hopeless.
