THE PACKERS GETTING EVEN It Is estimated that In the nine or ten year of litigation with the gov ernment under the Sherman antitrust act the packers expended f 300.000 They are likely to get that sum back In Increased prices for their products before 1912 is many months older. The moment the announcement of the arpulttal peached the exchanges, prices of beef, pork, bacon and other things in which the packers deal start ed upward. Today it costs the 94, 000,000 of people more for their meats than they paid a few days ago. Prob ably It will cost them still ore a week hence. It will not take long for the trust to get back the money which It gave its lawyers in the past few years. As usual, the customer pays the bill. Said one of the jury who acpuitted the packers: "The people had not suffered In the prices which they bad been paying for their meats, and we did not see our way clear to convict." Possibly the evidence did not warrant conviction. Probably there was much truth in the words of one of the jurors that the government's council overwhelmed them with figures. The millions and the tens of millions which the glib lawyers of the depart ment of justice hurled at the jurors confused them. They could not di gest those vast numbers. Moreover the government's lawyers were out classed by those In the service of the packers. The trust attorneys had a simpler task, and they appear to have done their work better. But it it be true that the public had not suffered by the prices which the packers Imposed, what would have been the effect of their convic tion? Probably prices would have gone down somewhat There is no good reason suppose that they would have gone up. The advances in the past few days have set the pub lic to thinking. The public is against the general warfare on the big cor porations which has been urged in some quarters, but this recent bound In prices has a queer look. Were the packers doing business at a loss during the trial! If not, why did the advance begin immediately after the acpulttal? Are they paying any more for their raw material now than they did a week or a month ago! Does it cost them any more to do busi ness now than It did then! This sud den advance which started the mom ent that the packers got out of the clutches of the law impels the people to ask some pointed questions. At torney General Wickersham and his assistants are said to be discouraged at the outcome of the trial. The at torney general is said to be engaged in an effort to outline some points in which the antitrust law ought to be amended. The result of his study will hae some interest for many mil lions of his countrymen. ROAD BILLS Compromise is the one best wav to settle disputes. We are promised five to six road bills on the ballot at the next general election. The Live Wires want a compromise and one good strong practical bill which will ensure roads where they are needed and at the lowest possible cost Stay with it Hard and continues work de serves and is usually rewarded with success. In any event let's vote for good roads. While on the compromise why not get our political and industrial friends together and settle their differences without carrying the matter to the Legislature. The Enterprise is strong for what is the best for the greatest number and until we have all the in dustry our city and power can handle it seems folly to take a stand which will retard our growth. Oregon City has assurance from nine railroads that proper considera- NOTHING CAN GROW THAT NEVER GETS STARTED It i the beginning that counti. Nothing can grow that never gets started.

When seven states realize an In crease of J2,S12,450,1S2 In the value of their farms in ten years, some idea of the worth of new settlers can be obtained The seven states of Minn esota, North and South Dakota, Mon tana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon realized this increase almost three million ot dollars. The securing of two million more people. Increasing the number of farms only 114,363 brought this added amount of wealth. In short for every person added to the population of the Northwest during the ten years there has been a corresponding increase in the value of farm lands of $1 406. The seven states now commonly known as the AMERICAN Northwest increased the acreage of improved lands 23,686,802 acres during the ten years. If actual comparisons could be made there is little doubt but what this vast growth of our own country would compare favorable, if not ex ceed the record of any other section on the map of the world.

BUT COLONEL SWEEPS NORTH HARMON HAS APPARENT PLURALITY La Follstte Gets Vols That Astonish And Bryan And Clark Are Glvtn Support Count Is Slow COLl'MHl'S. O.. May 21. On the face of the early returns In Ohio's first Presidential preference primnry today. Colonel Roosevelt led the Re publican ticket over President Taft and Governor Harmon, of Ohio, led Governor Wilson of New Jersey, on the Democratic ticket by a fair mar Kin. These returns, however were given on a basis of complete figures from only 13.5 precinct out of a total of 51i2. These gave Roosevelt dole gates 59.054 and Taft delegates 41, 4.15, a majority of 1T.61 for the Roosevelt men. Only on the Democratic ticket does the count represont a direct Presi dential preference vote. On the Re publican ticket the vote computed Is the total outcome of ballota cast In the precincts counted for delegates to the National convention pledged to Colonel Roosevelt or President Taft ivaiit.nt Taft aiioeared to have carried Cincinnati by a large margin. and also Toledo and Dayton, among the larger cities. This was more than offset by the vote given Colonel Roosevelt In the north and in Colum bus and other cities. The Roosevelt lead In the north end of the state, it seemed, would give th9 ex-President an advantage which Mr. Taft could not overcome by his Aote In the south end, Includ ing Cincinnati and the rural districts. Senator l-a Kollette received a larger vote than state politicians had pre dicted, getting a considerable fraction of the vote cast In the northern end of the state. Including Cleveland. Governor Wilson, like Roosevelt, received his biggest vote In Cleve land and the surrounding counties. Harmon nolled a heavy in rnlnmhus. the capital, and al so in his home city, Cincinnati. Har mon's campalgin managers, aeapue the early figures declared mat meir ...n.iiitjia hud carried the state through the heavy rote for him they expected in the country districts. Governor Harmon's chief strength, they say. had been In Cleveland, where Mayor Baker naa wagea a strong fight against Harmon. Mayor itniiar however. In a statement in sisted that Governor Wilson had cor ried Ohio by a vote or two to one. Both Champ Clark and Mr. Bryan, although their names were not on tho preference ballot and they were noi represented by a delegate .received several scattering votes, which when final returns are In. may affect the outcome of the Wilson-Harmon race. A PROMINENTPOULTRYMAN (OREGON CITY PUBLICITY) The following is an article from the "Oregon Agriculturalist," which sDeakJ favorably of Clackamaa Coun ty's most prominent poultryman. We need more poultrjmen like Mr. Ring bouse. Congratulations to Ringhouse. "I'd rather be right than president" were the words of a man who was afterwards president We do not know whether IL Ring house, of Clackamas, Oregon, the White Wyandotte breeder, will ever be President or not, but when It comes to breeding White Wyandotte he surely is "right" This was demon strated at Portland and Tacoma in the shows of 1910-11. It was again dem onstrated at Seattle and Walla Walla at the shows of 1911-12. But the crowning glory was at Llvermore, Cal ifornia Bhow, held the second week of February. This show Is unique In many respects. The special feature, however. Is that nothing but breeding pens are shown. This show Is financed by four mil lionaires of that vicinity and only the really select birds are shown. A win nlng here 1 equal to a winning any Place in the World. In fact, one Mad ison Square Garden exhibitor brought to this show sixty of his winning birds. He Is the largest winner of White Wyandotte at the Garden show and these birds were some of the birds with which Mr. Ringhouse wa com pelled to compete with his Oregon bred birds. The Eastern birds were accompanied by an attendant and ar rived a week before the show and were fitted and groomed for the occa sion. Mr. Ringhouse' birds were groomed at home, sent direct to tho show, traveling 1,000 miles at the ten der mercy of the express company, and won first and second pen. This was all he could win, as thl was all the birds he sent Is It any wonder that he feels Jubilant, having beaten the best birds the world produce? Mr. Ringhouse is to be congratulated and the entire West and Northwest especially should feel proud of uch a breeder. On ot Dumas' Jokts.

It la now estimated that over 5000 neg roes have taken up arms In tho rov- Ince of Orient alone. To assist in tbe movement to sur round the negro Insurgents, further reinforcements, two complines of In fantry and two batteries of artillery, entrained here today for Orients.

In the vicinity of Santiago, white the situation, arising !'om tbe racial revolutionary movement. Is unquestionably serious and apparent ly growing more dangerous, the ret i.nr. nf ihn s-nvprnment renders Im possible a precise determination of It Kravity. The only thing absolutely certain Is that a condition of Insurgency eilsis among the negroe of Matansas, San to Clara and Oriente provinces, es pecially In Oriente, and that the gov ernment Is straining every nerve to stamp out the rebellion. The r.w Cruiser Cuba had hardly anchored here before she received orders to take aboard 600 Hfantry and artillery and proceed to Cuanta namo. Tbe Secretary of the Inter ior, Senor Aruna, said tho reiort al leging there were 2000 insurgent in Oriente was greatly exaggerated. The American minister, Arthur M. Reaupre, visited Secretary of State Sanguilly to demand protection for the property of the Jurague Iron Com pany, on which a band of Insurgnnts under Ivonett I reported to be com mitting depredations. The Secretary gave assurance of protection. Mount ed patrols guard all the roads ap proaching the capital, and all police reserves are kept at the station-house. It Is reported, but without confirm ation, that Colonel Armenteco. who has been operating In Santa Clara and threatening to. destroy all foreign property, has been killed. A serious feature of the situation In Oriente province Is the presence of many Haytlan negroes, who recently entire.

It Is reported that several schoon ers from Haytl have landed cargoes of arms. General Ivonette recently received $10,000 In payment for his service as General during the revolution. It Is bellved he Is using this to purchase arms for the presnt rising. Two American citizens, Floyd Schick and Joseph II. Ryan, have complained to Ross S.

Ship wrecked a few days after a tugboat marriage In tbe South sea, and later cast upon a coral Island where they were lavishly entertained by dusky monarch. Is the honeymoon exper ience told here today by Captain and Mrs. Thomas Endresen, who have Just arrived from Papeete. Mrs. Endre sen was formerly Miss Anue De La Tour of Pendleton, Oregon. Captain Endresen met and loved MIbs De La Tour when he played base ball wlih the Gray Harbor team. When he sailed from Raymond, Wash, as master of the schooner G. W. Wat son, bis fiance promised to meet him at Papeete, where they would be mar ried. At Papeete they learned that the French laws decree that the banns must be published 30 day prior to marriage. To avoid French Jurisdiction, Cap tain Endresen chartered a tug, hired a minister snd sailed out to sea. They were married, but on the return trip home the Watson tnick a coral reef and tuck. By mean of lifeboat they landed on the domain of a dusky king, who wept when they sailed away three weeks later.

President Taft today declared ho was going to New Jersey "to make assur ance doubly sure.' He wll leave Washington for Philadelphia tumor ow nun nlng and make hi tlrst po litical speech al Camden. The President' talement wa Is sued after a day of activity at the White House.

"Our opponent quote from a state ment of mine made lu Cleveland that the tight In Ohio, my home slate, much to my gratification, would b the decisive one." said the President In his statement, "and would settlo the nui'stlon of my nomination.

Early In the day. I il roc tor McKln ley. of the Taft headquarters, claimed at "least 600 delegate for tho Presi dent." The President's estimate. while smaller, was declared at the White House to represent "rock bot tom" figures, which are expected to be Increased materially. The claim to the six delegntes-at-liirge In Ohio was made by the President after re assuring messages from bis Ohio manager.
