MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, ftCEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAItOH 18, 1010. TRADE WAR ONLY I FAMILY OF FIVE EAT ONE WITH JAPAN! ON $30 A MONTH Such Is View of Michigan Man Who Scouts Idea o Going to War With Nipponese. WASHINGTON, March 18. "Tho etrifo of industrial competition is the only war which the United States will have cnuso to wajjo on Japan." This is tho view of Representative Edwin Dcnby (Rep., Mich1 ou tho recent talk of the yollow peril. Den- by js today ono of the best-informed At That, Prices In Washington Have Advanced, the Senate Committee Is Told. public men on iar eua oru u0mv nnn from his ten years' service in section of tho world. "War that is, martial war is, in say opinion," said ho today to tho United Press, "only remotely poa iblo between the United States and Japan. Fronting each, as wo do, Don tho Pacific, tho commercial battleground of tho future, striving each for tho same vast markets, we shall be brought into sharper and vr aharner competition. But we are .traders before wo are soldiers. and Japan soon will be, must be, if eho 'is ito survive in this industrial age. Surely it does not follow that, because we are both trying to bhild the engines, clothe tho bodies and feed the months of hungry Asia, we must fight, any more tliau we have fcad -to, or bhall have to, fight our commercial rivals, Canada, England and Germany. "Believing deeply in tho wisdom and statesmanship of tho government at Toldo, I have novor feared that the question of immigration alone could embroil our two nations. Ja pan does not want her people to em igrate in largo numbers. In fact, for many cjutnrics to leave Japan, or, having left it, to return, was punish able by death. While all this is modified by modern conditions, still I do uot believe the government yet wants its bono and sinew, its indus trial population, to leave the fathor land. "And so, when it appeared that while our government welcomed with open arms all tho people of Japan except tho laboring classes, and thought it best that they, because of WASHINGTON, March 18. The senate committee investigating tho cost of living hold a short open ses sion this afternoon and then sat in secret session for 15 minutes. Edward Hall, a grocerj-man of Washington, who, starting in 1895 with a cash capital of $2000, has built up a business of $100,000 a year on a basis of u per cent net testified: "A family of five can livo plainly and well in Washington with a gro cery and provision bill of $30 a month, exclusive of milk and ice, and have meat twice a day. "Prices have advanced on many nrticles in tho time I have been sell ing groceries. Tho big advances have been in pork nnd poultry. These are selling at practically double what they did ten years ago. "The advance on beef and lambs has been abont 15 per cent. Tho ar tides that havo not advanced are canned goods, except canned meat and fish, nnd vegetables. Fruits arc slightly higher. "One thing the public doesn't un derstatid is that we aro paying more at wholesale for many grades of goods thnt are ntill sold at the same old price. This is true of packago cereals. Every now and then tho manufacturers advance the whole sale price, bnt they don't change the published retail price on tho package tho same old dimo." S. K. Harrison of Baltimore pro duced bills from wholesalers which showed a constant increase since 1892, with occasional variations. Tho committeo announced that it would hardly sit again this week. JOINT EFFORT PLANNED TO ADJUST CHINESE LOAN WASHINGTON, March 18. Mrs. Granfel, who represents in London the gronp of American bankers in terested in the Hukuong loan of utter dissimilarity from persons en- $30,000,000 for the construction of ! i, , 1! M 1 ? - 1 1 nL! I , - gagea in siniuar occupation uere, auu becauso of different standards of living which wore almost certain to provoke ill-feeling and perhaps con flicts, should stay away for the best interests of both peoples, the To km government nt once took the sound and friendly course of keeping those people at home. It there is small clfance of that ques tion being niado the further cause of irritation between two countries that havo so many reasons to be freinds, and none for being enemies. "War talk will do for some, but not not for those who know Nippon and her people. We ought to know Japan better. I believe Senator Boot, when secretary of state, once said the better two peoples knew one another the less chance of their fighting, and I subscribe to thnt sen timent." i MORSE SELLS PROPERTY AND THEN BUYS AGAIN The Polk Hull ranch, in the Mead ows district, has been sold to George BD. .Morse, who recently sold his farm consisting of 157 acres, and lying a i mile and a half east of Phoenix, to Leo J, Miksche of Breckenridge, "Minn.

This is one of the finest berry and garden tracts in the valley. The tract con Jtains seven and a half acres, about half of which is in Logan, Mammoth Black and raspberries; also a fine strawberry bed and other small .fruits. Price $4400.

Haskins for Health. railroads in Central I limn, unci a conference today with Assistant Secretary Wilson of the stnte de partment. Later Mr. Wilson stated that France, Germany and tho Unit ed States had agreed upon a finni suggestion which would be made to Great Britain looking to the removal of objections which she had made to a final settlement respecting th6 di vision of tho interests of the four countries The difficulty which Great Britain finds to an agreement respecting the loan is regarded here ns inconse quentnl and relates to the engineer ing interests which the United States may have in n projected railroad ox- tension which may never be built. The officials express tho view thnt Great Britain cannot consistently press her objections much further. HENEY SAYS M'CARTHY WILL BEAT TAMMANY 4. 4.4. CITY NOTICES.
