m. and had threshed 66S sacks of oats,
which averaged three bushels, by
weight, making a total yield of 1904

of 265 bushels per hour, or about seven
bushels per minute. This is Linn coun-

A single member of the Willamette
Valley Lumber Manufacturers As
sociation wants 81 cars and they cannot
be had, which condition is alleged to
be typical among the 90 members of
the association, and to be responsible
for the suit that is threatened against
the railroads for damages. The firm
that needs ST ears is the Spaulding
Lumber company, whose shortage is re-
ported as follows: Newberg, 81 cars;
Salem, 81 cars; Noon, II cars. The
Spaulding concern operates in Polk,
Yamhill, Benton and Marion counties.
1t has 650,000 feet cut to ship, mostly
to California. The threatening of a
damage suit was alleged by willamette
Valley lumbermen Saturday to be the
result of long-continuer irritations. That
damages really can be collected, how
ever, is the professed belief of some
of them. Most of those at Friday s

Coal Scarce and High.

There has never been a time in
Mineral Point when coal was more
scarce and as high in price as at pre-
sent. The local dealers are unable to
get their orders filed. There are four
prominent reasons:
First: Owing to labor troubles.
Many men who formerly worked in the
-.'en are now employed in the big mu-
Il Il lion plants and it is hard to get other
men to go into the mines to work.
Second: Boats that carried the product
last year are a. present hauling steel,
etc. for the big steel factories at a
greatly increased price for service
Third: Only about 500 of the normal
tonnage is on the docks. Fourth:
Cars to ship the product in are scarce
and very little coal is being shipped to
cities of less than 10000 population.

FIRE CRY AT NIGHT.
Close Call from Destruction of Some
Valuable City Property.

The cry of fire and the changing of
the bell sent shudder through this
community last Saturday morning
about ! 30 O'Clock, an hour when very
large majority of our citizens are bask-
ing in sunderland.
The destroying fiend was discovered
by neighbor in the large frame resi-
lsssaee of Mrs. Il. ]. Penhalegon, Sr.,
almost directly opposite the high school
building. The eastern section of the
residence was occupied by Mr.. Joseph
t.. Jackson and daughters and the
WESTERN by Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Wei
dcnfeller as tenants. The fire was in
the basement of that part occupied by
Mr.. Jackson, where a water-heating
stove was stationed. Here the blaze
brSke through the windows, but the
activity of neighbors kept it in check
until the fire company arrived and
drowned out the fend; not, however.
before considerable damage was in
flicted on the doors, windows and other
woodwork of that section of the house.
Mr.. jackson and two daughters were
in bed at the outbreak, but experienced
little difficulty in getting up and dress
ing, smoke penetrating their quarters
the while. Mr.. and Mrs Wiedenfeller
were both absent from home.
's.hes furniture in both apartments
was hustled out and damage thereto
by this act and by the pouring in of
water will amount to considerable.
Damage to the building has been ad-
justed at $ll00. Loss sustained by Mr..
Jackson may reach $780, Mr.. Weiden-
feYler's less.

Varied Activities of Women

suffrage. She is a member of the New
York bar, an orator of great power
and her activities for political, social
and economic reform have made her
a well known figure both here and in
Europe. Much interest was aroused by
her marriage a few years ago as it is
claimed that although a native born
American herself, she forfeited her
citizenship by her marriage to Eugene
Boissevain, a Hollander. On these
grounds she was refused a passport to
accompany Ford's peace ship. How
ever, she went anyhow and still con-
tinues to plead her cases in New York
courts regardless of the fact that the
court has decided she has no right
to do so on the grounds of her non
citizenship.

Million Bushels Apples
Gr01Un IN Montana YEARLY

The magnitude of Montana's cereal
production in recent years has tended
to obscure the fact that this is also a
horticultural state with more than
10000 acres planted to fruits. Yet
the fruit-growing industry of the
state was just so years old when
Montana's exhibit of apples at the
Panama-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco won the grand prize.
When the first settlers came to
Montana they found Strawberries and
raspberries growing wild in the gorges
and even on the tops of high noun
tains and a variety of berries was
early cultivated, but the first at
tempts at growing the larger fruits
were made in Missoula county in
1865. In that year about so apple
trees were brought from Oregon and
transplanted in the Bitter Root val
ley. The next year about 10000 more
apple trees and a few plum trees
were brought from the Pacific north
west and sold at one dollar each.
This experiment turned out to be
costly for only about 10 per cent sur
vived the cold. Kept growing by If
rigation in the lower lands until late
in the fall, they were full of sap
when the loaves fell and we're "win-
ter-killed." More success was obtain
ed with trees planted on the bench
lands where the wood thoroughly rip.
ems and in 1876 about 5000 apple
peach, plum, ounce, cherry and other
fruit trees were growing and begin.
ming to produce.
Recent years have seen a remark
able advancement in fruit-growing il
the state, both in the quantity ant
quality of production and in the mum
Der of varieties cultivated. Each yea,
hundreds of acres are added to tn,
orchard area.

Reforms Montana Jail.

A matron, Mrs. Frances Turner, has
wrought a much needed transporma-
ton in the Silver Bow county Jail at
Butte. Officials as well as public
sentiment generally are rapidly being
educated to the fact that every public
institution which looks after women
or children, should have a woman with
some degree of authority in charge
In Butte, where is situated the larg-
est jail of its kind in the state, a
great change for the better has been
made since a woman matron was In
stalled. The women are more clearly.
more orderly, and more easily disci-
plined since they know that a woman
is on hand to look after their well
fare and supervise their deprotment

Y. M. C. A. WORKERS
TO MEET NEXT MONTH
ORGANIZATION HAS MADE
EXCELLENT PROGRESS
IN MONTANA.

Billings, Oct. 1S.-The third annual
state convection of the Montana Y.
M. C. AS will be held at Great Falls,
November 9 to IL. A general invi-
tation is being extended to not only
the associations in the state but to
business men, young men and older
boys in the various cities and towns.
This organization has made rapid pro-
gress in Montana during the last few
years and now has six city associa-
tons with buildings, five student as
sociations, eight Indian and n con-
struction camp association.
The last convention was held at Hell
ena in March, 1915, ana attended by
143 delegates. 1t is hoped with tie
growing interest that this number will
be exceeded at Great Falls. A con-
v~ention rate of one and one-third fare
will prevail, and the Great Falls Y.
M. C. A. is making an unusual effort
to care for the delegates.
Speakers will come from the in
ternational committee headquarters
at New York and Chicago; also some
of the prominent workers in Montana.
The convention will transact business
and elect state committeeman in ad-
dition to adopting a policy for the
year to come.
One feature will be the introduction
of another state worker to be asso-
ciated with the present state secretary,
Charles Puehler. The new position
will be one relative to the work of
boys and students and upon the sue
cess of the effort now being made tc
raise a budget, P. L. Corbin of Louis.
vile, KY, will take up the work be.
ginning with the convention and will
be one of the speakers.
The present officers and state com
mitteemen are as follows: F. B. Rev
nolds, chairman, Billings; E. c. Day
vice chairman, Helena; H. M. Allen
treasurer, Billings; G. M. Miles, Mile
City; W. E. Harmon, Bohemian; G. E

then not to, but to let her go out and
the committee would see other rea-
sons why she had to keep her hands
So she could not use them. She was
out but a few moments when they
found she had torn nearly every stitch
of clothing from her person.
1t had been reported that a new pa
tient had been put in a cell with an
old patient who had become violent
and that when the guard heard a
commotion there and had gone to see,
he found that the new patient had
nearly pounded the other to death.
DIR. Ragsdale admitted that this was
partly true and stated that they had
not received a report that the new
patient was violent at all. He said he
regretted that this had happened and
precautions had been taken as far as
possible to prevent a repetition Of
anything of the kind.
In addition to this report, Miss Peo-
pies, the visiting nurse for the anti
tuberculosis society, made a report to
the club of her Investigations in
Butte. She had found many condi-
tons that needed attention. Cases
where men had tuberculosis and where
sleeping in the same room with their
children should be stopped. She said
there should be an institute in Butte
where men or women who have just
contracted tuberculosis can be treated
and cured.

wide figure and accompanied Henry
Ford on his peace mission to Europe
and was one of the leading speakers
at these conferences in neutral coun-
tries. She is progressive in her prin.
cipals and claims the J~effersoniar
party as her own. On account of hel
recent travel in war ridden Europe
her addresses attract more widespread
attention than is usually given a poll

census showed that the yield of ap-
pies was $567,05 bushels in 1909
whereas the government experts es-
tlmated that the production for 1915
was l,O40, 10000, bushels showing an
increase of nearly so per cent in six
years.
Experiments in the last few years
by venturesome farmers have revo-
l%utionized the conceptions of the hor-
tlcultural opportunities of the state.
AT the recent state fair a dozen var
ieties of pears grown in the western
part of the state were displayed and
one or two exhibitors entered ounces.
While fruit growing has been large
ly confined to the western part of the
state, it has been found that eastern
Montana is also adapted to horticul-
ture. Grapes have been grown with
success in Blaine county while apple
orchards are now common from end
to end of the state.
1t is the Bitter Root valley, includ-
ing the country around Missoula,
that is foremost in orchard develop
ment. Other important fruit grow
ing sections include the Flathead
basin, Carbon county, Sanders coun-
ty from Plains to Trout Creek and
Lincoln county.
The varieties of apples ar many, in
Guiding McIntoshes, Wealthies, GRAY.
enstein, Greetings, Canos and Wolf
Rivers. A number of these have wor
a reputation in the markets that adds
to the fame of the state. Next in com.
mercial Importance are the cherries
many carloads of this fruit being
shipped each year from Bitter Root
Missoula and Fathead orchards
Plums and prunes, peaches, cante
loupes, watermelons, cucumbers anC
garden stuffs, especially peas, al,
also cultivated extensively.

Great Mystery Solved.

Dutton. Hugh Phillips and Fat
Shook have had a bunch of hogs in a
field north of town that they have
been in the habit of going to feed in
IN automobile. 1t has been quite a
mystery for some time why they did
not gain any more than they were and
all of the hogs looked like they were
run to death. The solution was made
the other day when Hugh discovered
that they ran clear across the field
every time they heard an auto on the
road, thinking their feed was com
ing.
