' Berlin, July 28-Runs occurred yesterday on the savings banks throughout the empire owing to the general belief that a great war is about to begin.
 Several councils of war have been held within the past twenty four hours, but strict secrecy is maintained. The emperor is constantly in touch with his min .isters and hardly sleeps. He has posted himself on all the military details and it has al ready been arranged where the army will strike if hostilities break out. So far as can oe learned at present the .mobiliza- tion of the troops has not yet begun, but the army is so sta toned that mobolization will be comparatively easy. Austria is maintaining a strict censorship and whatever it is doing is clouded in deep mystery. Never has the war fever reached such a height and all look for a tre- mendous conflict. One of the chief speculations is as to Great Britain's position. The use of her fleet against Germany and Austria would mean, it is ac- knowledged, a severe handicap.
 Constantinople, July 2S The Greek minister to this capital made the statement last night that if Austria attacks Servia Greece will be compelled to send one hundred thousand men to Servia's aid by an agreement made at the time of the Balkan war.

FIRE FIGHTERS TO CONVENE
Plans for Prevention of Forest De-
struction Will Be Discussed.

On Friday and Saturday OF the
present week officials connected with
forest fire prevention work in West
ern Oregon will convene at Salem for
the purpose Of formulating definite
plans for fighting fire the coming
season. Mr.. W. V. Fuller, secretary
of the Polk County Fire Patrol Assoc
iation, and Supervising Warden Frank
Heydon will attend the meeting and
participate in its deliberations.
The continued success Of the forest
protection work, according to State
Forester Elliott, demands the active
cooperation Of government, associa-
ton and state officials, and this meet
ing will afford an excellent oppor-
tunity for those interested to get bet
ter acquainted and exchange ideas as
to the work. The Polk County AS
sociation, for the creation of which
strong organization Mr.. Fuller is
largely responsible, protects approx
mately eight billion feet of standing
timber. The timber owners have in
Supervisor Heydon faithful and
efficient warden.

SHOWS MORE STRENGTH
DEMAND FOR OREGON PRUNEs
rs BREAKING RECORD
Eastern Buyers Endeavoring to Close
Contracts on Future Crop at Ad-
vanced Prices.

According to the latest advices the
demand for prune contracts in Ore
gon exceeds that of any previous
year in the history of this industry,
and bids made by eastern and Cali
fornia interests are higher. Crop
conditions in Oregon, and especially
in Polk County are favorable, the
dropping having been less severe
than in California, where the crop
will be comparatively light, and the
outlook for record prices were never
better. Old crop prunes are prac-
tically exhausted at all centers
There will be no carry-over to speak
of at any point and in some of the
leading markets prunes are so scarce
at this time that they have ceased to
be quoted This, therefore, will give
the new crop a clear field and the
outlook is therefore most hopeful
from a price standpoint.
Oregon prunes continue to lead in
the east over those from any other
section, and this being the case,
prominent buyers from all parts of
the world appear to be eager to con-
tract. Growers, however, are conf
dent that they will profit by playing
a waiting game and are slow to tie
up their crops at present values.
The slight damage done by frosts in
some localities will more than be over
come by higher prices.

independence to Monmouth, from In
dependence to BIunk, from lndepen-

Railroad Work Progressing.

C. J. Cook, the contractor in charge
of the construction crew on the Val

this point, says the Independence
Monitor. Monday the company put a
crew of men to work cleaning the
right of way west from Hoslins into

to be done along this part Of the road.

permanent location survey west from
Independence, two weeks ago, finish
ed their work on this part of the
road, were sent to the west end of the
line beyond Hoskins.

pollen from flower to flower as the
hive bees. Their intelligence, their
energy, their social habits and the
ease with which they are kept under
control stamp them at once as no
mean ally to the tiller Of the soil.
The practical beekeeper in any dis
riculturists and others engaged on the
land are instructed in pruning, graft
ing budding and other cOncomitant
adjuncts for obtaining a living from
the soil, but none of these are more
necessary than an acquaintance OF
bee management-the practical part
of it at least Apart from the profits
from the sale of the honey, or that
used in the home (there is no food
more heathful and invigorating,) the
presence Of bees on a hamestead are
husbandry, if not more so.
Sir John Lubbock, in "Bees, Ants
and Wasps," referring to the color
sense of bees, ays:-"The consider
alton Of the causes which have led
to the structure and coloring of flow
ers is one of the most fascinating
parts of natural history. Most bot
anists are now agreed that insects,
and especially bees, have played a
very important part in the develop
ment of flowers. While in many
plants, almost invariably with the in
conspicuous blossoms, the pollen is
carried from flower to flower by the
wind, in cases Of almost all large and
brightly colored flowers this is effect
ed by the agency of insects. In such
flowers the colors, scents and honey
serve to attract insects, while the size
and form are arranged in such man
ner that the insects fertilize them
with pollen brought from another
plant"

Grange Fails to Materialize.

Mr.. R. R. Riggs, native of Bridge
port and still resident of that place,
was in Dallas on Friday. The resi-
dents of that locality undertook to
organize a local grange last week,
but owing to the meagre attendance
the matter was deferred to some fu-
ture time, Mr.. Riggs is road super
visor for his district and expects to
gravel at least two miles of high
way during the coming summer. Ac-
cording to this authority his road is
one of the worst in Polk County, not
withstanding the fact that it was
the first military road between Port
land and the California line.

expected to make certifcation to fill
vacancy in the position of rural

Bees and Crops,

The workers of one bee colony cas-
lily cover as much as twice the dis

in one day. The distance of the moon
from the earth is 237,60O miles.
Therefore the gathering of about 10
quarts Of honey means, totaling the

TOLD TO MAKE MONEY
STUDENTS WILL CONDUCT GAR
DENS FOR PROFIT
Polk County Industrial Fair May Re-
ceive Benefit From Prof. Gil
more's Unique Idea.

Prof. L. p. Gilmore, head of the
department of science at the Mon
mouth Training Normal, in conjunc-
ton with other instructors, has in
stituted a practical garden contest
among the boy students Of that school
which cannot fail to result i'll the
accomplishment of good from an in
dustrial standpoint A three-acre tract
of land has been divided into small
plots for cultivation. Each student
will be given charge of from one to
three plots as his unit. For those
who wish to exhibit at the Polk
County Industrial Fair next fall, pro-
vision will be made for ground up
to one-eighth of an acre. The plow-
ing and other teamwork is furnished, to
be repaid at time of cropping. The
children are to furnish seeds and
plants, which will be charged against
"cost of production" Only under
special conditions will a student be
allowed to raise more than two diff
ferent crops at the same time, but
at home he may exercise his own
Judgment, tempered with advice. The
varieties, however, will be at the op-
ton of the students.
The purpose of the contest is to
train the pupils in question of buying
and selling, supply and demand, and
to give them practical business
knowledge that will serve them in
later years. A bookkeeping system,
designed by H. M. Mabray, has been
adopted for school garden use. Each
pupil will be given simple account
book in which records of all costs
and sales must be kept. The Nor
NAL dormitory will buy usuable pro-
duce if prices are reasonable, but
will purchase elsewhere if lower
prices are secured. The pupils may
sell to any party, but their accounts
must show that no more than market
prices were received.
The books must be balanced each
week. After the harvest season the
pupils accounts, with composition
outlining the procedure and general
methods used, will be submitted to a
committee Of judges. The winner will
be the student who realized the
greatest profits, kept the neatest and
most accurate accounts, wrote the
best composition and showed the
greatest skill in buying and selling.

BASEBALL FORTY YEARS AGO
Judge Teal Then Played the Game on
Present Grounds.

The Hon. j. B. Teal, himself some
thing of an artist on the greensward
nearly half century ago, still takes
a lively interest in the national game
of baseball and daily scans the scores.
In conversation with the Judge few
days since, the venerable servant of
Polk county related how forty years
ago he and others manipulated the
sphere on grounds three blocks north
Of the court house, which grounds
are still in use by the present invinc-
ibles and on which many an exciting
contest has taken place during the
past few years.
In Judge Teal's day the players
were always in fine physical condi-
ton, labor keeping the muscles hard.
Spikes in the shoes were unknown,
for the reason that shoes were not
a part of the paraphernalia. The alb
sence of footwear toughened the ped
al extremities to withstand almost
anything.
Judge Teal, with that familiar 49,
carat smile overspreading his coun-
tenance, reminiscently recalled a
game of ball played in 1872, when a
of now prominent citizens,
hoary with age, participated in an ex-
citing contest and won a victory.
90 Yes I still like baseball and attend
a game whenever time permits, but
please excuse me a moment -; and
the old-time baseballist gave attention
to a tiller of the soil who had sought
him on road matters. just what his
sentence would have been
remains as a tale untold.

FEEDING R0UGHAGE TO STOCK
Great Danger Of Animals Overlooking
and Seriously Impairing Their d.

Of feed, but there is greater danger
Of the animals overlooking and seri-
ously impairing their digestive sys-
tens. 55tf. ,a.., i
1t takes more feed for stock out in
the open weather than in shelter,
since they must consume a sufficient
quantity to maintain normal flesh and
keep up the heat unnecessary for sup
plying their bodies with warmth.
Oilmeal is SO loosening in it's
effect that it is very easy to overfeed
on this ration. While we would feed
only about one-fourth pint for every
one hundred pounds the animal
weighs. there are cases in which this
would be too much while in others 1t
would be sufficient. When feeding
it, watch the results closely and guage
your future feeding by them. b: ST..
Don't get too enthusiastic in feeding
oilmeal. as it is concentrated ration.
One and half to two pounds will be
sufficient for the dairy COWS, along
with other rations daily. Hogs wiz
require an amount in proportion to
their size, and horses will need it only
occasionally-twice or three times
week-as sort OF change from the
bulkier feeds. "
