Senator Hourne opened headquarters of the National Progressive League today In the senate office building In a room formerly used by the senate commltteo on expenditures. The seeretary of tho league, Frcd- orlc C. Howe, with a forco of clerks, Is preparing a circular letter to state representatives of tho league, BUg- gpstlng plans for state organizations and enrollment of clubd and Individ mils to carry tho principles of tho league Into effect. Senator Hourno expects to remain hero tho coming summer, directing personally the organization ami work of tho league, which will have per manent offices In this city. Secretary Howe reports the receipt of many letters from all parts of tho country, volunteorlng the services of speakers and writers. John C. Miller who is home for a visit with his parents in this city, and who travel for a big New Yoik tea and coffee concern states thnt Hni7.il is o blame lor an increase of six to qcven cents' n pound in the cost of coffee. "Brazil produces about 80 per cent of the world's coffee, and for several years, owing" to over pro duction, tho growers have been operating at a .small margin of prof it," states Mr. Miller. To remedy this condition the government of Brazil about three years ago start ed what is called n valonzalion scheme. "The surplus coffee each year U bought up by the government and u law passed whereby it is permitted tit v unless an export tax is paid. In! this way the demand is kept high and cntiMwnicntlv the w' lum soared."' WASHINGTON", 1). C, Feb. 2.-' Talk of a filibuster in tho United States senate is today about the on ly visible sign of the New OileaiH fight for the Panama Exposition and it is pretty slim. Governor Sanders of Louisiana, who is still on the ground for the Southern city, is said to be trying to induce Senator Bailey of Texas to start obstructive tactics in an ef fort to block San Francisco's com plete victory, but with Senator Crane of Massachusetts, tiie real leader of the senate, an avowed San Fran cisco partisan, it is believed there id little chance that the upper house will refuse a straight out endorse ment of the coast, city. This view U held by Senators Perkins and Flint, who declared that San Francisco will easily win complete endorsement. tho county court, which asks that body to appropriate ?7G00 toward the building of an armory In Ashland for tho local company of tho state mllltla. The petition Is being gener ally signed. Tho plan as being worked out by Ashland is to this effect: That city will appropriate $7500, tho county will he asked for $7500 and then the legislature will he asked for $15,000. Tho Ashland citizens are confident of success. SALKM. Ore, Feb. 2. A number of Portland teachers appeared before members of the Multnomah delega tion yesterday to urgo the pas sage of house hill No. 27U. Under the proposed law teachers would contribute $1 per month dur- I lng the first ten years of service, $2 In the second decade and $3 In tho third. It was argued by the teachers that experiences of many states and countries which havo annuity laws sanction such a measure, and that Inasmuch as tho public is asked to contribute only 10 per cent of tho amount necessary to put tho fund on a firm basis, there should -bo no ob jection to pensioning those so Intl- CLKANINU HATS.
