As was expected, the republican "assembly" forces arc in mourning over the sad developments at Washing ton. Curtailing the tyranny of Speaker Cannon and taking away his un-American czar-like power is regarded by as sembly forces as little less than criminal. Judge Williams, Chairman George, Judgo Webster and otner old-tnnc machine politicians and present assembly bosses express their indignation at the humiliation of the man who has so staunchly represented the special inter ests in congress and gagged all legislation inimical to the trusts. i fmm There are none so blind as those who will not see and among the blind are the Portland Oregonian and the as- semoiy .leaders, wlio are cracking their heads against the direct primary wall in an effort to crack it. People of Oregon are not ready to return to boss rule when the whole nation is in revolt against it. HEAVY APPLE CROP. Indications are for a heavy apple crop in the Rogue River valley. Never have the trees been so heavily laden wiui iruit buds and if normal conditions continue, this year's output will double that of 1909. A much larger acreage will be producing this season because of young orchards coming into bearing. light crops were the rule last season in a majority of the or chards, so that prospects for the largest yield on record are Battering. The time of year is approaching when the need of a weather bureau is apparent. The orchardists are organ izing for a thorough campaign to prevent damage by late frost An ounce of, prevention is worth a pound of cure, and all damage from frost can be warded off is precau tions are taken. Congressman Hawley has been so busy supporting Uncle Joe and his czar methods that he evidently has not had time to secure the weather bureau, as he promised when here. However, Senator Chamberlain has come tto therescue and is making it a personal matter with the de partment and may have better luck. HOW ABOUT THIS? -f t lttt ttt (Woodland, Cal, Mail.) Tho Medford Mail Tribune of Mod ford, Or., says that tho city board of trustees met on February 23, 1010, to hear protests and to pass on 12 miles of street improvement, umlor consideration in that littlo city.
