MISS PETERSON
GAVE PIANO RECITAL
STUDENT OF WELL KNOWN
CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
PLEASES FRIENDS HERE

A well attended and highly appreci-
ated piano recital was given last
night in the Swedish Lutheran church
by Miss Jenny Peterson, who recent
ly returned from years study in an
eastern conservatory. Miss Peter
son is we'll known as capable plan
ist and her superb interpretations of
master compositions both surprised
and enthused her many friends who
had gathered for the program. She
was ably assisted in a couple of duets
by her hister, Miss Alice Peterson.
Miss Olga Anderson rendered a
song in her usual impressive and
captivating manner, and Mr.. Ragnar
Kullberg gave a very strong 10-min-
ute speech on the subject "True
Service" In the midst of the pro-
gram the lights suddenly were ex-
by the electrical storm,
but the program, nevertheless, went
on without any disturbance.
Following the program reception
was held in the church parlors for
the members of last years catechu-
class. Together with the
pastor and his wife they were served
at daintily decorated tables, which
besides somewhat reminded of Ben

PRESS CONGRESS
AGAIN POSTPONED
MEETING OF EDITORS OF THE
WORLD WILL NOT BE HELD
UNTIL EASTER

SYDNEY, Australia.-After sever
al previous postponements the Press
Congress of the World, which is to
be held here, has once more been
postponed. Instead of taking place
next October it will be held next
Easter.
The change was due to the recent
change in government in this state
(New South Wales). Originally 1T
was Nationalist government, under
Premier w. A. Holman, which invited
the press of the world to this city.
Now a labor government under Pre-
nlier John Storey is in control. The
labor government is, however, carry
ing out the arrangements made by
the proceeding government and Mr..
Storey has placed over the congress
the minister of education, Mr.. Mutch.
Incidentally, it is believed that the
postponement will increase attend
ance from the United States, because
the congress will not coincide i'll time
with the height of che American pres
idential campaign. Incidentally, also,
it is hoped that by next Easter
steamer fares all over the world will
have been somewhat reduced.

TRADE WITH MEXICO
TOTALED MILLIONS
IMPORTS WERE 25,116,76O AND
EXPORTS $12,616,772l
WERE $2O1, 1899

NOGALES, Ariz.-The total value
of exports and imports through the
Mexican border ports of Arizona in
the fiscal year ending June 80 was
$37, ,733, ,532. Exports were $685.
772; imports $25,116,76O The fig
ures were announced by H. E. Berner,
deputy customs collector at the Port
of Nogales. More than one half of
the total business of the Arizona dis
trict was handled through the office
here, he said
Collections for the year on customs
at this port as duties were $201,-
399.17.
Commission men in both Nogales,
Ariz., and Nogales, Sonora, said the
total business Of the port would have
been much greater had not the strike
on the Southern Pacific de Mexico
railway lines occurred at time when
vast crop movements were under way
from the Mexican west coast into the
United States. This strike was set
tied by the then Governor of Sonora,
de la Huerta, now president of Mexi-
co.
The Obregon revolution followed
soon after the strike and further
hindered crop movements. Mexican
and American commission men assert
that because of these two interrupt
tions untold quantities of tomatoes,
cabbage and other vegetables rotted
on the ground.

WIFE AND VANISHES-
POSSESS WORKING

PENDLETON, Oregon, Thursday
Nlght.-Jack Rathie, one of the pris-
oners who broke jail here last Sun
day when Sheriff Til Taiyor was
killed. appeared today, apparently
half famished and nearly exhausted,
at the farm house of M. Kicks, near
G1bbon, Ore, and demanded food. AS

ton and reported that during last
night two men had broken into and
robbed of food the cabin of Jim Mox,
an Indian located on Thorne Hollowe

with several bloodhounds, comprise
the possee following this lead.
According to the Indian, tracks
from the Mox cabin could be plainly
seen. Mox, who was sick in his cabin
at the time Of the robbery was unable
to identify the men because of dark
ness.
Two half breed Indians are being

that port, or he managed to land
somewhere en- route, he runs the risk
of being carted up and down the "a
cific indefinitely.
Harkins' account of himself was
given in Sydney just before the
Makura sailed from here early in
June with him on board was this:
''Back in January man with the
same name as I reached Vancouver
on this boat. He asked for day OFT,
but the chief engineer refused him.
He went ashore without leave, got
into a street fight, had his leg brok-

chief engineer reported him as de-

Harkins complains further that on
the strength of promises by the GUS
tom authorities at Sydney that he
would be released from detention on
the Makura if he signed certificate
that he was an alien he signed the
paper, but the promise was not kept.

BOY INVENTOR MAY
SOLVE GAS PROBLEM
TAKES POWER FROM AIR WITH
MACHINE COSTING $50 AND
GETS As HORSEPOWER

SEATTLE, Wash.-Using an at
mospheric power generator coil III
inches in diameter and IA inches long,
attached to a silent motor IL inches
in diameter and 18 inches in length,
generating about 45 horsepower, AL
fred M. Hubbard, Seattle boy invent
or, yesterday propelled an l8-toot
bota, containing three passengers be-
sides himself at speed OF eight to
ten knots an hour. Except for the
rattle of the chain attaching the mo-
tor to the propeller shaft the power
unit gave forth no sound. Motor and
coil were lifted free from their block
supports to prove the absence of con-
cealed or connecting wires.
The youthful inventor had some
trouble getting the motor started IN
the right direction at first, it being
disposed to run backwards. The gen
orator ceil developed 280 amperes
current with 125 volts force and, the
wires connecting it with the motor
heated to such an extent as to COM
pei frequent disconnection. Other
wise the demonstration was appar-
emily a success. n
Young Hubbard said the power
generator coil cost 500 to construct.
With a coil three times this size he
claimed it would be possible to drive
an airplane or automobile indefinite
ly.
A Seattle capitalist who witnessed
the experiment was frankly puzzled
and said he would have an expert
electrical engineer pass upon the
young mans invention.
