Grain Bag Shortage Seen.

Olympia - In order to warn grain
producers in Washington of the possi-
BILE shortage Of grain bags this season,
owing to the handicaps to ocean ship
ping incident to the European war,
Governor Lister has taken up with the
board Of control and the state grain
department the question of supply.
Inquiry by the grain department re-
veals that grain bag dealers in the
West have orders placed for so, 900, 900
bags from Calcutta and that they ex-
pect to receive them, though no assur-
ance is had that shipping facilities
will be available.
The state board of control reports
that the penitentiary mill has now on
hand 1880, 900.
1t is also learned that there are now
100000 bags available in Portland; f;
that the private manufacturers in this
section will produce 1000, 900 and that
the California penitentiary will pro-
duce 100000
II the shipments from Calcutta are
handled as they would be were ship
ping not handicapped, there will be no
trouble in supplying the need. Should
the shipments be held up, however, it
might be necessary, thinks Governor
Lister, for the farmers in many cases
to. handle their grain in bulk.

Canadian Aviator Blows Up Huge
Zeppelin, Killing Entire Crew Of 2S

London-For the first time on recort
a Zeppelin in the air has been destroy.
ed by an aviator in an aeroplane.
Reginald J. Warneford, young Cana.
dian sub-lieutenant in the royal navy,
who mastered aeroplaning only this
summer, has performed the feat, and
is somewhere within the British lines,
while Zeppelin lies in ruins, sprawled
on the roof and ground of an orphan
age near Client.
Falling a blazing mass after being
struck by the young aviator's bombs,
its crew Of % men were killed, as
were also several occupants Of the Or
phanage buildings.
The theory is advanced that this
Zeppelin was the craft which raided
the east coast of England Tuesday
night, for the fact that it was in the
air over Belgium, between Client and
Brussels, at 8 o'clock in the morning,
leads to the belief that it was return
ing from an expedition, not starting.
Dawn breaks early these days and
the huge Zeppelin could be sighted far
off, and it is presumed that the craft
was headed for her home hangar when
Warneford came winging swiftly un-
der the gray skies.
The Zeppelin, which was flying COM
paratively low, began to mount at
once, but the British wasp was speed
ier and climbed into the air in long
spirals, reaching position at length
over the Germans vast bulk. From
this point Of vantage Warneford burst
the zeppelin's shell repeatedly with
his incendiary bombs.

Allies Report Extensive Gains On
Turkish Lines About DardaneIIes

London-Official announcement was
made Monday that the British troops
at the Dardanelles, as result Of their
new offensive movement last week,
captured two lines of Turkish trenches
along three-mile front. The state
ment in part follows:
"On the night of June 3-4 the
Turks, having heavily bombarded a
small fort in front of the extreme
right of the French position, which
previously had been captured, launched
infantry attack against it, which was
repulsed with heavy loss to the enemy.
At the same time the Turks set fire to
scrub in front Of the left center of the
position occupied by the British divis-
ion and attacked, but met with no sue
cess.
"On the morning Of June 4 Sir Ian
Hamilton ordered a general attack on
the Turkish trenches in the southern
area Of the Gallipoli Peninsula, pre-
ceded by heavy bombardment by all
guns, assisted by battleships, cruisers
and destroyers.
"At a given signal the troops rushed
forward with bayonet. They were i'm
mediately successful all along the line
except in one spot, where the heavy
wire entanglements were not destroyed
by the bombardment.
Indian troops on our extreme left
made magnificent charge. They cap
tured two lines Of trenches, but owing
to the fact that the troops on the right
were hung up by the wire entangle-
nents, they were obliged to retire to
sheir original line."

Prune Crop viii Be Large.

Prune prices are going to rule lower
this year from all indications. The
Pacific Coast has large crop and but
little chance to export the surplus, as
the war has paralyzed the foreign de-
mand. A little business is being done
by packers on the basis of materially
lower market than prevailed at the
opening last season.
Various estimates have been made
of the size of the California prune
crop, but fair average Of the yield is
175, 100000 pounds. In Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho the dried prune out
put will run at least rs, 900, 900 pounds,
according to the best-posted prune
men. It is, therefore, almost assured
there will be tonnage this year of
200, 100000 pounds on the Pacific
Coast, against 100, 100000 pounds last
year.
For the past four or five years, ac-
cording to official statistics, the ex-
ports of Northwestern and California
prunes have been about As per cent Of
the total production. This year, a
conservative estimate is 10 per cent.

Method.

There is no one able or anxious to
deny the value of method. But there
are many who realize that method is
not everything, and that strict adher-

fast rules. The strict adherence to
some method is almost as bad as hav-
ing no method at all. We should re-
