The Washington association at that time appointed a committee to co operate with the Oregon organisation and the Portland Commercial Club In calling a congress of Pacific Northwest fruitgrowers. This congress was held In January. 111. In Portland and was attended by more than 1000 delegates from nearly every fruit district In Montana. Idaho, Washington and Ore gon. After two days' discussion of the imperative need of a co-operative fruit marketing agency, the congress ad journed to meet in WaJ.a WaUa In Feb ruary. Friends of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange at that time attempted to secure recognition of that agency as as the official marketing organisation, but the congress rejected the over tures on the ground that as consti tuted at that time the exchange was regarded as a private corporation In business for profit. Cewtaaltte ea Plans Appointed. At the Walla Walla convention a committee of 11 was appointed to formulate detailed plans for Incorporat ing a co-operative selling agency. This committee was: H W. Otis, chairman. Peahatln. Wuh.; R. C. Atleww, Forest Grove: J. F. Forbls. Dllley; W. M. Nel son. North Taklma. Wash.; Sherwood Williams. La Grande; W. J. Tledt, Darby. Mont.: W. B. Klnha-I Cla s ton. Wash.; J. E. Trimble. Garfield. Wash.; Miles Cannon. Wleser. Idaho; H D. Lamb. Milton; C. E. Whistler, Med ford. The committee of 11 elected L. E. , Meacham, of Walla Walla. Its secre tary and undertook an exhaustive in vestigation of selling and organising methods, culminating In the adoption and publication of a report In Novem ber, 111. on the occasion of the Na tional Apple Show at Spokane. Alternate Plan Aeeejted. Meanwhile K. S. Miller, manager of the Rogue River Fruit A Produce As - aoclatlon. proposed an alternative plan for uniting this co-operative move ment with the Northwestern Fruit Ex change. Chairman Otis, of the commit tee of 11. presented the entire plan to the Washington State . Horticultural Association at Its annual meeting In Clarkiton In January. 11!. The rec ommendation was so well received that the committee began negotiations with the Northwestern Frlut Exchange, cul-n-.lnatlcg In the amalgamation perfect ed yesterday. Committees representing th fruit growers' Interests in different produc ing districts, recently made rigid In vestigation of the character and mar keting methods of th exchange, and gave public expression of unqualified indorsement. The Portland Commercial Club. Cham ber of Commerce and Clearing - House Association, within the pant week, have cf?'cially Indorsed th exchange. The business Interests of Spokane, a'.eo alive to the necessities of the fruit situation of the Northwest, and recog nizing the need for a central soiling sgericy, recently sent a committee to Portland to Investigate the exchange, and. aa a result, their Chamber of Com merce and Clearing-House Association passed similar resolutions, indorsing Its j.urpose. efficiency and character. Dividends Are Limited. Hy the agreement reached yesterday th exchange becomes practically a mutualtzed institution. Us dividends are fixed not to exceed 10 per cent, and all unsold capital stuck Is offered for purchase by growers' organisations. This latter provision. In connection with the fact that the Northwestern Fruit Exchange is already under the absolute control of actual fruitgrowers, precludes the possibility of Its ever be coming an Institution of private con trol for profit. Provision also was made for a direct and vital contact between the exchange and the growers, whose crops shall be marketed through It by the creation of an auxiliary organisation to be known as the Orowers' Council cf the North western Fruit Exchange, which shall be composed of elected representatives of each association. This council will have control of all matters pertaining to the standardisation of methods and contracts. - and will have advisory powers. All Districts Represented. Virtually every fruitgrowing district In Oregon. Washington and Idaho was represented In the Portland conference. Those present were: H. W. Otis. Peshastln, Wash, chair man of the committee of eleven, U E. Meacham. Walla Walla. Wash, secretary of that body. J. F. Sua-rue. Cashmere. Wuh, presi dent Cashmere Fruitgrowers' Union, Wenatchee Valley. Fremont Wood, Boise, Idaho, presi dent Idaho Horticultural Society and director Northwestern Fruit Exchange. W. N. Irish. North Taklma.

Mosler. Or, president Oregon State Horticultural Society and rice-president Mosler Fruitgrowers Association. And the operating officials of the exchange. ew Officers Elected. After the conference the annual meeting of the directors of the North western Fruit Exchange took place. H. W. Otis and A. P. Bateham were elected directors. The following officers were elected: President, R, IL Parsons, Medford; vice-president for Oregon. A. P. Bate ham. Mosler: vice-president for Wash ington. H. W. Otis. Peshastln. Wash.; secretary, C. A. Malboeuf. Portland; treasure- and general manager, W. F. Owln. Portland: assistant secretary and assistant treasurer, U. H. White, Port land. "I am convinced that the Northwest has taken a step forward," said Mr. Bateham, following the meetings, "the benefits of which cannot be adequately estimated at this time. The future has been discounted several years. Prog ress of the fruit Industry can only be accomplished sanely and conservatively through mutual confidence, and co operation of wide and practical scope Is the whole structure of confidence. Mraatlea New Optimistic. "One cannot realize the magnitude of an Industry which represents an In vestment of between one quarter and a half million of dollars without giving serious thought and concern to the ne cessity of adopting practical methods for the distribution of Its products. "The situation Is decidedly optimlstle today. The selling organization of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange Is a won derfully efficient, Intelligent and most ably managed machine. Its distribu tion Into 168 different markets of the world In two seasons Is a record of ex ploitation and results that strikingly appeals to me." H. W. OrU Well Satisfied. H. W. Otis said: "The situation Is Ideal. Practical business-like co-operation, beginning with the grower, who, through bis affiliated selling system and Its established connections cover ing the entire market situation, se cures at one step adequate distribu tion and cuts out destructive competi tion, the two roost vital things affect ing the fruit Industry today. This will. In my Judgment, bring at once 60 per cent of the fruitgrowers In the North west Into the exchange, and. compara tively speaking, accomplish In two years for the apple Industry what It took the orange growers of California 1 years to bring about. We do well to profit by their experience." "The solution Is both Ideal and business-like, It will be hailed with Joy by every man In the co-operation camp," said L. E. Meacham.

Senator Tillman piloted a constituent through the Capitol one day and, after showing him the sights, led him In to the public library of the Senate. After about an hour had expired, the visitor went up to tho gallery doorkeeper, and exclaimed: "My name Is Swate. I am a friend of Senator Tillman's, and he brought me here. I thought I would tell you this so that I could get back into the gallery after I have my lunch." "That's all right." said the doorkeep er, who was a solemn and Impressive person.

By 1S8 the prices sank to barely 10 per cent of what they hail been early In the '70s. Industry was paralysed. Labor walked the streets In hunger and the cry of dying Industries for relief resulted as It always has In history to a resort to protection. Bismarck had been for 25 years of his ministerial life a free trader. Twenty-five years be fore this time he had declared In the Prussian Lower House, "that protec tive duties enrich only a few factory proprietors." In 1171 he had agreed to the abolition of the remaining Iron duties, and In 1S7S he had advocated the restriction of the tariff to only 10 articles. He now became a protection ist. The cause of his conversion to protection was the fart that the Impe rial Constitution of 1ST1 made the Na tional government dependent for Its revenues largely upon contributions from the federal states, to be exacted hy th National government from earii stnte according to its population Of this provision Bismarck said: "The great cement of a trong com mon financial system Is lacking to '.tie Empire so long as It Is founded aoly In matrlcular contributions." you get back.

I beard Arthur's mother say that there was so little time for children to read when they were going to school, and I wondered. Z didn't see how there could be such a thing as not having time to read. Tou don't think about taking time to read you Just read. Tue only occasion when we thought of tl' i was when we were hurrying through one book to get to another, for' there was almoBt always another waiting and holding out a fascinating promise that nastened our progress to ward It. And then It was so quiet on the prairie. The general whooping of life was. so far away that It did not call us from books with the Insistence of Its noise.
