OFALL.
Amt it mighty good country spite of

Then no, for song
All the bright way along

With room in the hills and the valleys
for the hearts and the homes of us
all!
Then it's no, for song
All the glad way along
For the brightest old country of all!

Washington.-Produ of petro-

clined 1.72 per cent or 452,s76 barrels
in 1918, compared with 1912. Figures
by the Geological Survey show that
the total output in 1918 was 25,SS5,64O

increase of 4S.5S per cent over 1912.
The average price per barrel increased
from s1.63 in 1912 to $2.46 in 1913
The increase in the price of petro-
leum, which began at the end of 1912,
resulted in stimulating drilling activ-

ARIZONA RAISING COTTON.
The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most VAL
liable Ever Produced

Washington.-Fina figures on the
1918 cotton crop. announced by the
census bureau, place it as the largest
the United States has ever grown.
with the exception of that of 1911. At
the same time the estimate of the to-
tai value of the crop shows it was the
most valuable ever produced, 1t being
worth s1.043, 100000.
The quantity of cotton ginned from
the 1913 crop, counting round as half
bales and excluding linters. was 49,
9s2,S1l running bales, or 14.156,4S6
bales of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton
seed produced was 100000 tons, of
which 4,575,5OS scns were crushed.
The value of the cotton Is estimated
at sss7 100000 and of the seed $780,
100000.
An interesting feature OF the 1918
production was the crop OF the I'm
perial valley, In southern California,
where 22,s3s bales were grown. 1t
has been reported the acreage planted
this year In the Imperial valley will
show large increase, while the pro-
duction is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000 bales. Last years production
was more than double that of any pre-
vious year there, where commercial
growing OF cotton has been in progress
only few years.
Another feature was the production
In Arizona, where 2,299 bales were
ginned. the largest part. of which
possessed the same characteristics as
that grown in Egypt The 1914 area
shows large increase, varlously esti-
mated Mt from 1900 TO $4,000 acres.

London. June 3O.-The tragedy that
has befallen the ill-fated house of
Hapsburg, according to news reaching
London. was the result of carefully
prepared Servian nationalist plot in re-
venge for the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, which defeated the
dreams and aspirations of creating a
greater Servia.
The assassins of the Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand and his wife have con-
fessed that the plot was matured at
Belgrade. The terrible event is only
another illustration OF how well justi-
fled is the anxiety always present in
the minds of European politicians and
diplomats about the unstable condi-
tions prevailing in the Balkans and
even in the dual monarchy itself.
The anxiety is considered likely to
increase during the short period be-
fore the aged emperor who alone is
believed able to hold together the het-
erogeneous components of the Austro-
Hungarian empire, finally disappears
from the scene. He has been display
ing his customary strong character in
the face of his latest bereavement and
seems in excellent health.
Anti-Servian riots are already oc-
curing in various parts of Austria
Hungary as well as at Sarajevo.
Washington.-Pres Wilson sent
the following message of condoleEce to
the emperor of Austria-Hungary:
Deeply shocked at the atrocious
murder of his imperial and royal high
ness Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and
consort. at an assassin's hands. ex-
tend to your majesty. to the royal fam
ily and TO the government of Austria
Hungary, the sincere condolences OF
the government and people OF the
United States, and an expression OF
my own profound sympathy"

duchess of Hohenberg. were conveyed
from Sarajevo by special train to Met
kovitch. Dalmatia. From there they
will be transferred to warship. which
will proceed to Trieste under the es-
cort of n squadron. A special train

WILLAMETTE FIELD
rs BEING ENLARGED

Work has been started on changing
the west end of the willamette univer-
sity athletic field so as to provide a
22O straight away and permit the en-
larging of the baseball diamond. The
renee will be run from the back of the
gymnasium directly west to the
stadium. This viii permit the men
work in the stadium to pass from the
gym to the stadium without exposing
their running attire to the people on
the campus or people on the nearby
streets. A fence has already been CON
structed along the mill race to the
stadium and when the contemplated
stretch is constructed large area will
be added to the athletic field in which
it will be possible for the men working
with the weights and the jumps to
work should the teams practicing on
the two baseball diamonds so cover the
main field as to make it difficult to
work there.
More Men Train For Track.
There are more men training for
track at present than were out last
season when track work was at its
heighth. Every evening finds the
stadium crowded with aspirants for
honors on the field and track the COM
ing season. Men who expect to work
at the weights and sprints and now do
ing cross country to get into condition
and those who aspire for the distances
are already beginning to watch their
time. There are more men in careful
consistent training than there has ever
been before.
Basketball Team Busy.
The basketball team is receiving the
hardest workouts these days that they
have been given this season. Many
members of the scrub teams of the
earlier part of the season are develop
ing fast and several of them prominent
among which are Luce and Bagley, bid
fair to make their presence felt on the
first squad before another season pass

INTERNATIONAL SPORT
EVENTS ARE PLENTIFUL

New York, Feb. Feb. 5.-This inter
national tinge to various sporting
events for 1914 is getting to a place
where it smears the entire landscape.
With the yacht races, tennis, golf and
polo lined up in real international ar
ray two foreign entrants may be in
cluded for the indoor tennis champion
ships next month and the Pennsylvania
relay in April will also have foreign
starters. Harrow University of Eng
land, has entered team in the four
mile championship. A. N. S. Jackson,
the Olympic 1900 meter champion, will
captain the team. Germany and Sweden
are also considering sending teams and
if the Universities from these countries
are not represented this year it is al
most certain they will be on hand for
1915. Oxford will be represented this
year.
Three relay races will be run to de-
termine the championship of the world.
One will be at one mile, each man to
run 440 yards, the second at four miles,
each man to run one mile and the third
at two miles, each man to run one-half
mile.
