SUNDAY OKEGONIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 58, 1913.
SHEEP INDUSTRY IS
DECLARED DOOMED
President of National Wool
Growers' Association Says
Oregon Worst Sufferer.
SENATORS ARE CRITICISED
Effect of Tariff Law on Meat Said
to Be Throwing of Profit to
Trusts " Without Providing
Any Relief for Consumer.
That the new tariff law will force
many sheepmen out of business, with
out benefiting the consumer, and will
be especially hard on Oregon sheepmen,
was the declaration of Frank J. Hagen
barth, president of the National Wool
irrowers' Association, made yesterday.
Mr. Hagenbarth is in Portland to es
tablish a local agency for the Con
tinental Life Insurance Company of
Salt Lake City.
"The new bill plays directly Into
the hands of large combinations of
capital. It hits the producer, but the
profit goes to the middle man," he
declared. "It Is a matter of general
knowledge that there is now a loss
of from 25 to 30 per cent .on wool.
Oregon Is hit harder than most of the
other states, because she raises merino
sheep, which cannot profitably be con
verted into mutton, for which there Is
a good price.
"The probable effect can be deduced
from the fact that other states are
going out of the sheep business, de
spite the fact that they can produce
mutton.
"I spent a large part of last Win
ter in Washington working for the
wool-growers. It was a most discourag
ing business and I left in disgust.
Lane and Chamberlain, the two Oregon
Senators, are Democrats, and they
voted for free wool, despite their con
victions to the contrary. Chamberlain
suffers from a lack of spine. He has
no moral courage, although he means
well. Lane is a joke. He is in
competent to analyze the situation and
see what relation the tariff bears to
wool. The people of Oregon will
stultify themselves if they send these
two men back to Congress.
Merit Omitted' Is Assertion.
"Foindexter, of Washington, voted
for free wool out of pique. He did
not favor it, but voted for It to be
against the Republicans. The question
did not resolve itself into a discussion
of the merits of the wool, lumber and
sugar-beet question. It was a lineup
of the manufacturing East against the
producing West, New Jersey receiving
protection on 88 per cent of its prod
ucts, against 9 per cent in Arizona.
"From now on America will send
increasing millions abroad for wool.
The cost at home will be too high for
profitable production. This loss will
not be made up by any corresponding
benefit to the consumer. The middle
man will absorb all the difference. The
consumer will be no better off than
he is now, and millions of dollars will
go out of circulation throughout the
entire West.
"It is an established fact." said Mr.
JIagenbarth, "that blue serges one of
nit iiiuab Diafic aiuuioa u L Xlltsil anu
women's wear are quoted at higher
prices than in 1911, when there was no
thought of free wool. This takes all
the wind out of the reformers' sails.
Free Cattle Advocated.
"As to free meats. It was called to
the attention of the finance commit
tee ard the President that the bill, as
originally written, contained a pro
vision for free meats, but carried a
duty on live cattle. Free cattle espe
cially younger breeding stock, and a
duty on meat was advocated. This
policy was to encourage the growing
and fattening of beef in the United
States and thus make a broader market
for our hay and grain; also to increase
the meat supply, which was at a low
ebb, on account of the prevailing prices
of the last decade.
"The bill has prevented investment
in breeding stock by thoughtful grow
ers. "The Government's policy is playing
directly into the hands of the trusts
and large combinations of capital, for
tin minute an animal is converted into
meat, it can be bought ud and held
in storage a thing- impossible in the
case of livestock scattered all over the
country. A small trader cannot afford
to buy meat by the shipload in
Australia, and he will be unable to
compete with a trust that has the mar
kets of the world at its disposal.
"It is an established fact that within
the last two weeks wholesale and re
tail prices of meat have Increased from
10 to 20 per cent in the interior of
the United States, and, mark you, this
has been done since the tiassarn nf
the free meat bill, notwithstanding the
fact that wholesale meat prices on the
Atlantic seaboard have fallen about 3
cents a pound."
Mr. Hagenbarth says that he does not
expect a repetition of the wool de
pression of 1S95-6, because the price
of wool is better throughout the whole
world. "However," he remarked smil
ing, "the cost of production Is greater
too."
Speaking of local conditions, he said
that the attitude of financial uncer
tainty is not confined to Portland, the
feeling being general throughout the
whole United States. He attributes It
to fear of the tariff act and doubt as
to congressional action on the currency
question.
Mr. Hagenbarth will leave for Ta
coma and Spokane this week.
COUNTY NAME CLEARED
JOSEPIIIXE XAMED FOR WOMAN

George II. Parker, of Grants Pass,
Gives Interesting Story of
Early Bays In Correction.
GRANTS PASS, Or., Oct. 26. (To the
Editor.) For the sake of historical
accuracy, please Allow me to correct one
statement in the article on Grants Pass
try Mr. Addison Bennett published in
The Oregonian a few days .ago. He
said that he was told that Josephine
County was named for Josephine Le-
land, the first white girl born in the
county. The facts I believe to be as
follows:
In 1846 a party of Immigrants passed
through here going north. In the party
was a man by the name of Leland
Crowley, and his family. When they
reached a large creek in the Northern
part of this county, now called Grave
Creek, his daughter, Josephine, died,
and was buried under a large oak tree
which is still standing in the middle of
the road a few rods from the Northern
end of the Grave Creek bridge. ,
The Indians dug up her body and hung
it on a limb of the tree, where it was
found by a party of white men and
reinterred, all signs of the grave being
obliterated by driving cattle over It.
The father of Charles Sexton, who is
still living at Hugo on the ranch on
which he was born nearly 69 years ago,
was one of the party.
During the Indian War of '55 a fort
was established near the banks of the
creek and named Fort Leland after
Leland Crowley. At one time during
that trouble the grave under the tree
where the girl was first buried was
enlarged and the bodies of six Indians,
who had been hung on the tree, were
buried in it. The creek had already
taken its name from that grave.
However, Josephine County was not
named for Josephine Crowley, but for
Virginia Josephine Rollins, who went
with ner ' rather to the mines near
Waldo in the Spring of 1851. She was
about 16 years old at that time and
was the first white woman to come into
this part of the country to stay any
length of time. Her father called her
Josephine and Josephine Creek was
named after her and afterward the
county.
I had heard both accounts of the
origin of the name and about three
years ago I thought I would see if I
could find out which was correct. I
wrote to all the old pioneers who
would be likely to know anything of

the matter ' and received two letters
from James Twogood, then of Boise,
Idaho, who located the Grave Creek
ranch in 1851 and who also mined
on Josephine Creek in the Spring of '51,
and knew Josephine Rollins; two let
ters from Dr. Holton, who was Sheriff
at the time Judge M. P. Deady held the
first court In Josephine County and
who was also a member of the Legis
lature both before and after Oregon
was admitted as a state; one from
Judge Jacobs, of Seattle, formerly a
pioneer of Jacksonville; Judge Day and
C. C. Beekman. also of Jacksonville;
and Homer Harkness, who lived on the
Grave Creek ranch a number of years
In pioneer days.
Finally I heard through Wm. Colvlir.
of Medford.. that a man by the name of
Jacob Thompson, of Ashland, had a
photo of the woman, for whom Jose
phine County was named, hanging in
his parlor.
I wrote him and he replied that Jose
phine Rollins, for whom the county
was named, was a sister of his wife,
and was still living in Sonoma County,
California. I wrote her and received
a long letter from her and a photograph
of her, taken when she was 45 years
old.
About two years ago I saw George
H. Hlmes in Portland and told him the
foregoing. He said if I would send him
the photograph, he would have two en
larged copies made of It, one for the
Historical Society and one for our
Courthouse. I sent him the photograph
but have never heard anything from
him although I have writen him several
times.
After I had done all this I saw a
copy of a history of Oregon published
in the early eighties which gave the
same account of the naming of our
county.
The letters I received from the old
pioneers contained other items of in
terest. Messrs. Jacobs, Dry, Holton and
Twogood, I think are dead now. Mar

In Jacksonville In '52, and whose father

whom to write.

Sayre. Though the "White House is re
ticent as to details, it is given out that
the date certainly will be November 25
and that the ceremony will take place
in the White House, where it is said
the bride will have for her attendants
her two sisters, Margaret and Eleanor.
The company will be a large and not
strictly official one, but more of a per
sonal gathering. Dr. Wilfred T. Gren
fell will be best man. There are 100
Wilson relatives and there will be a
large company of Nevin and "Sayre re
lations. Attic lias Been Renovated.
The White House attic has bee.x ren
ovated and five new chambers for the
us.e of guests and two baths have been
added this Summer. Henceforth the
attic will be the "third floor." The
other portions of the historic mansion
are being freshened by scrubbing and
painting. The main entrance has oeen
turned from a pale yellow to a "true
buff."
The invitations to the wedding are
being engraved in one- of the Jewelry
stores here, as those of Alice Roosevelt
and Representative Long worth were.
They will be simple, as all things per
taining to the wedding will be, accord
ing to the wishes of the bride and her
father. Even the trousseau is being
carried out along these lines, the lin
gerie being hand-made, but the gowns
and other garments, except the wed
ding gown, being bought from the
"ready-made" departments.
The wedding gown Itself is being
made in New York and is of soft, ivory
tinted satin, with much rare old lace.
House Wedding Gift Considered.
The members of the House, who have
decided to join In a wedding gift, have
not decided what the gift shall be, but
it is said Miss Genevieve Clark, daugh
ter of the Speaker, will be consulted.
Miss Clark is now visiting friends in
Northern New Jersey and it is under
stood that she will shortly visit the
shops in New York City to look at the
latest creations there and report later.
It will be a chrysanthemum wedding
and hundreds of the rarest plants are
being nurtured to produce the best
blossoms possible for the White House
bride. The most important of these
blossoms will be the Jessie Wilson
"mum," which has been propagated
from foreign plants and which will
make its debut on the day of her wed
ding. It is green.
No announcements of prenuptlal fes
tivities have yet been made, and in
fact they are only now being planned,
owing to the late return of the family.

A ' Motor That Cant Be S
tailed
Here's a New Factor in Safety
An Additional Source of Comfort
The Picture Tells the Story
Any motor might lose its spark unexpectedly; the gas
might be cut off accidentally- Think of the possibilities
if this should occur on a crossing.
The non-stallable motor of the New Chalmers "Pix"
protects you in such a case. The electric starter speeds
up the motor even should the gas be cut off or the spark
interrupted. It keeps it running in every emergency.
It prevents "going dead" in crowded traffic; keeps it
from stalling under sudden overload.
A Guardsman Always on Duty
The starter is always ready. It comes into action
automatically with the release of the clutch whenever
the engine speed drops to a certain point. No need to
give it a thought. Throw on the switch at the outset
that's all.
This non-stallable feature cf the New "Six" gives you
a sensation of security that doubles your motoring
pleasure.
Where the New "Six" is Supreme
No honest maker claims that a "Six" will get away
any quicker run any faster or climb any steeper hills,
than a "four" of equal weight and horsepower.
But Oh! how much more smoothly, silently and easily
it does it. The six cylinders give a continuous stream of
power ; there's no interval between explosions ; the
imDulses are utterly imperceptible.
The entire absence of vibration nearly doubles the life
of the car and the comfort of the passengers. You can
tour day after day in the New "Six" with the comfort of
your easy chair.
Ride in it once and youTl be forever spoiled for any
"four."
Here's Flexibility No Four Can Equal
Take the wheel of the New Chalmers "Six." Push the
switch of the electric starter and let in the clutch.
Notice how quietly how smoothly it moves away.
See how easily and how quickly it mounts to 20 30 40
miles an hour or throttles down to two and then off
again, without shifting gears.
That's flexibility. And it's all in the motor itself;
gear shifting is seldom needed. Any auxiliary gear
mechanism to secure flexibility would be merely super
fluous weight.
Let the Car Prove It
Come and see this wonderful "Six." Its classic beauty
its harmony of outline will fascinate you.
Let us take you for a ride in it. Its mystic silence
its velvety smoothness its supple power will give you a
new sensation in motoring pleasure the thrill of speed
with the luxury of rest.
