FARM ERS WAKE UP.

It Is deplOrable condition OF al
fairs when the great agricultural coun
try cannot raise their own beef. The
following bulletin put out by the U
S. Department of Commerce shows
the lack Of foresight of the American
farmers, more particularly Of the north
west.
Food importations in November
showed a marked increase over the
corresponding month Of the preceding
year and a material increase over the
figures for October.
This is especially apparent in fresh
beef and beef cattle. Importations OF
fresh beef which amounted to "a
million pounds in October were prac-
tically double the quantity in Novem'
Der, the figures for November being
1O,S56,516 pounds, valued at $900,296.
OF pork the importations during Nov
ember were 40 thousand pounds,
of mutton, 80 thousand pounds. More
than one half of the beef imports came
direct from England, 81 million
pounds having been received at New
York and 2A million pounds at Bost-
on; while Canada sent 2 % million
pounds to Chicago, half million
pounds to New York and quarter of
a million pounds to Boston. At the
Pacific coast ports the imports were
$50 thousand pounds, chiefly from Aus
tralia.
AS to the origin of the practically
s million pounds of fresh beef import
ed from England, the records supplied
to the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce make no specific state
ment tho the fact that there were
practically no arrival of fresh beef
direct from Argentina suggests that at
least portion of the beef coming from
England may have originated in Ar
gentina, which country is now Eng
lands chief source of supply of foreign
grown beef.
Cattle importations in November al
SO show very large increase over
those Of the corresponding month of
1912, having been 1918 head, valued
at $3,306,723 against 49,75S head, val
ued at sS29,35S. in November, 1912.
The total number of cattle imported
in October and November, under the
operations of the new tariff law was
253,757 head, valued at S6,704,790. The
value of cattle imports in October and
November was greater than that Of
all the earlier months of the year,
while the quantity of beef imported
was also much in excess of that of the
earlier months of the year. The value
of cattle imports for the full calendar
year will approximate Is million dol
lars, while the exports of cattle will
amount to less than one million dol
lars value against 312 million dollars
In 1912, IA million in 1911, "a million
In 1908, and Al million in 1905.
The importations of wheat during
the month of November were 127
thousand bushels, against thousand
bushels in November, 1912, and Of
-four, 10,S24 barrels, against $50 bar
'rels in the same month of 1912. In
portations of oats in November were
'5,132,308 bushels, against 1926 BUSH
'els in November of the preceding year
The 'importations of potatoes during
Nobember were 764,863 bushels, again
st 10,66S bushels in November, 1912.

Worlds Baseball Series
Won by Boston BRACES

Boston-The Boston National league
club completed the most remarkable
record in modern professional baseball
by defeating the Philadelphia Ameri-
cans in the fourth and final game of
the worlds series at Fenway Park
Tuesday by score of 8 to /.
Beginning with their rush from last
place in the senior league in the mid
die of July, the Braves have broken
traditions and records in the National
sport with speed and abandon during
the last three months.
They emerged late in the afternoon
champions of the universe, leaving a
trail of startling surprises and upsets
in their wake which it will be hard to
duplicate in years to come.
Last and far from the least of their
accomplishments was the overthrow in
four consecutive games of the world
famous baseball machine of Connie
Mack, with it's hundred thousand dollar
infeld, home-run heroes and corps OF
skillfully blended veteran and youthful
pitching stars.
To the victors belong the spoils anc
the credit, and unexpected as was the
crushing defeat, the Mackmen took i
in sportsmanlike spirit, praising the
winners and offering no excuses foi
their failure to hold their nationa
league rivals in check. In fact, non,

the Bostonians out-played and out
gained their more experienced oppon
ents in every game and department
of play. The best that could be sale
of the Athletics by their warmest ad
mirers was that the team, neither col
lectively nor as individuals, appeared
to get going in the form shown in pre-
vious world series.

Fraud Convictions Stand.

San Francisco = The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals denied an APP
peal of Charles E. Houston and John
H. Bullock from their sentence in 1912
to year in prison and fines of $4,000
each on conviction of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government in the sale of
coal. The appeal was made on tech
nical grounds which were upheld in one
dissenting opinion. Houston and Bull
lock were found guilty in the Federal
courts in Washington of having COM
bined to exact exorbitant prices for
coal delivered to army officials in Sc
attic in 1908. Between them Houston
and Bullock obtained S92, 041 or
checks signed by Quartermaster j. E.
Baxter. The government charged that
they had stified all bidding and that
the moneys obtained were far in excess
of reasonable price for the coal.

Germany Is Preparing
to Attack Great Britain

msterdam-Reports are current in
Berlin that the Krupps have completed
enormously heavy guns Of a calibre
and range never before attempted and
that large fleet of Zeppelins is being
collected near Kiel awaiting favor
able opportunity to sail for England,
according to the statements of Brit
ish newspaper man who has just re-
turned from Berlin to Amsterdam.
Artillery officers assured this cores
pondent that the new Krupp guns have
a range of about rs miles and probably
are destined for use at some channel
port in event the Germans secure a
foothold there. He also says that the
aeroplane factories in Germany are
working day and night supplying ma
chimes and that 200 aviators are quail
flying for military service every week.
1.-THE British are more hated thar
either the French or Russians" he
said. 1.-The Germans would rather
capture one Englishman than 2(
others. In Germany England il
blamed for it all, rightly or wrongly
She is accused of being at the bottom
of this war. Neither officers nor mer
of the German army seem to have
much regard for the British army al
fighting machine, but they freely ad
mire the pluck of the British officers
and the rapid range-finding abilities o.
British artillery.
Judging from what saw in Der
lin, that city at this moment holds an
other five or six army corps of able
bodied young men attached either Il
the first or second reserve or to tn
landsturm. The same proportionatel.
may be said of all the other German
cities. Everywhere l was struck b,

ever, concerning the military age of
Belgian males. Many of the Belgian
men in Holland are said to be soldiers
who donned civilian attire before cross

becoming burden to Holland. The

NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.
Portland.

Portland - Hop buying continues
without interruption at steady prices.
Dealers report that it is difficult to in
terest brewers in new business, and
this is to be expected in view Of the
approaching elections and the fact that
hops are being offered to brewers at a
steadily declining scale Of prices.
There is great deal of uncovered con-
tract business to be taken care of,
however, and it is this that is keeping
the trade employed.
This weeks purchases were made at
range of to IL cents. The largest
deal was closed by McNeff Bros, who
bought $40 bales from Demaris Bros,
of Yakima. This firm also bought It's
bales in The Dalles section, the crops
of Ericsson, Smith & Gates and one
other, also 100 bales from Salem deal
ers.
The apple market was good for
cheap and medium-priced fruit, but
there was not much demand for the
higher-priced grades.
Grapes are steady here and prices
cannot be advanced, in spite of the
firmness of the California market. A
car of cantaloupes arrived from Med.

Blaze In Stoke Hole.

Portland, Tor. = The steamer Santa
Catalina, huge 100000 steel
freighter of the w. r. Grace Co. q
line, plying between New York and
Pacific Coast ports, including Portland,
took fire and was beached late Sunday
afternoon against the Oregon shore Of
the Columbia river, two miles from
st. Helens. She is practically total
loss.
Two carloads of ammunition in hel
cargo exploded with the fire, adding
horrors and damage.
Forty-two members of her officers
staff and crew are safe, but one fire
man, Gus Johnson, is dead. He was
entrapped in the engine room instantly
when the explosion occurred, anc
heroic efforts of Captain j. F. Rose
and his aides to rescue him before the
ship was abandoned were futile.
Among the rescued are Mrs. Rose
wife of the captain, and their baby
who were lowered over the sides of the
burning vessel while still in mid
stream.
The freboat David Campbell, o.
Portland, fought the flames in the bis
liner after making fast run from
Portland.
The Santa Catalina was capable O.
carrying 10, 900 tons dead weight ant
had just entered the Columbia river OIL
her second voyage to Portland. Sh'
made her maiden trip last December
She was one of the first great liners t.
make passage through the Panama
canal, having arrived at San Francisco
from New York about 10 days ago. Sh,
left San Francisco Friday and carries
about 1000 tons of mixed cargo, 140l
tons of which were for Portland.
In the cargo for Portland was
large supply of ammunition, which ex
ploded within few minutes after tn
vessel took flame. The exploding cart
ridges created near-panic among tn
sailors and crew and made the work o
fighting the blaze still more hazardou
and nearly impossible. Three of tn
seamen jumped overobard, two swim
ming to the Oregon shore, third be
ing rescued by small river fishin
boat, which went to the aid of tn
Santa Catalina as soon as the explosio
was heard up and down the Columbi

Anti German Riots Started
in Many Parts of London

London = Anti-German rioting in
London Sunday night caused the de-
struction of score of shops. Damage
was done in the Deptford borough and
in Old Kent road. In the former dis
trict several stores were attacked and
set afre.
In Old Kent road meat markets were
smashed and this was followed by the
wrecking of a confectionery store.
Some of the shops were pillaged.
Police were called out and 20 arrests
made. Precautions have been taken
to prevent further rioting.
Great excitement prevailed through
out Sunday in Deptford and neighbor-
ing boroughs. Crowds thronged the
streets and refused to move at the or
ders of the police. The rioters
threatened to attack German places
in Bromley and other boroughs if the
authorities permitted them to open.
The rioting was led by 100 docks
laborers, who had been turned out of a
lodging house to make room for Bel
gian refugees. The men gathered in
a German saloon and smashed the win
dows and the bar.
The lockers charged the owner Of
the saloon with having started a re-
port that two British battleships had
been destroyed. The shop of German
butcher, in the window of which q
picture of Emperor William was dis
played, was wrecked.
The rioting proceeded for a distance
of about mile before it was stopped
by a detachment of soldiers. The
shopkeepers all lived above theii
places of business and their apart.
ments were sacked.
The rioting in the German shops in
High street, Deptford, was resumed al
IL o'clock Sunday night. A large
force of police who tried unsuccessful
ly to put down the disturbance hae
several of its memberssinjured.
