WHAT ENGLISHMAN HAS TO DREAD AS PROUAULE RE SULT OF CAMPAIGN BY SUF FRAGETTES PARTIAL VIC TORY FOR WOMEN IS NOW IN SIGHT. UMTCD PEIBS U1SEO WIIU9. London, July 7. Conservative and progressive leaders today are planning nnd devising ways to "smothor" a suffragette bill pend ing in parliament designed to per mit womon who own or rent prop erty to vote for members of parlia ment. The bill restricts tho voting power to thoso women only who are now entitled to voto In elections similar to the city and county olcc- M M M M M M M M M M M M M OWi ENGLAND GOVERNED BY WOMAN is So that you can have thqm when your house Is ready, Expert plating and repairing, Stand lamps made to order, Fixtures in all designs and finish at lowest prices In Salem 4 Marlon county.

Tho loganberry, blackber ry, raspberries, gooseberries and cur rants are very successful here and wo havo all tho fruits referred to in proof of what wo claim." Mr. Mur ray is. owner of about ono thous and acres of land In this part of tho county and is so well thought of that for many years the people of Marlon county have tried to get him to be one of their county commissioners Wliat a Fruit Grower Suys. Wm. Bents, Sr., has about 100 acres adjoining the Fargo Fruit tracts and has farmed It all his life, He has apples, pears, prunes, cher ries, peaches and small fruit. His apples are Yellow Newtown, Waxen, Red Cheeked Pippin, Oravenstein, Juno Red, and Red Astrachan. He has late and early Crawford peach trees about 16 years old and they grow a crop every year. Ten bushels was' the crop on one tree. The pears aro Bartlett, Winter Nellis, Vicar of Wakefield and Fall Butter. The prunes are Italian and Petite. The cnerries are itoyad Anne, May Duke and Black Republican. In small fruits he has strawberries, raspber ries, dewberries, and Lawton black berry. "Wo always have plenty of fruit of all kinds and with good care and attention there is no trouble to raise all- kinds profitably. This may seem like a big statement, but I know of no kind that cannot be pro duced here successfully. Tho ap ples especially have good keeping quality apd stand shipment well." First Nursery Started Here. J. W. Batchellor of Olympia came to Oregon In 1863.. His father lo cated in a log cabin half a mile from what is now the townsite of Fargo. A nursery was started in 1854 from seeds of apples and pears brought across tho plains in an ox team. This was one of the first places where fruit growing got a foothold on the Pacific coast. There are still six fn.it trees standing that were plant ed in 1854 two Gravenstelns aud four Baldwins. They aro sound as J J tlons In American cities. The best substitute offered by the leaders, who admit their fear of tho effect of tho bill upon the governing class should the measuro become a law, is the introduction of an amend ment or substitute measuro limiting suffrage to those women who actual ly own property. This latter meas uro Is practically assured of passage. Members' of parliament are the most important candidates for whom anyone In England can vote. Tho pending bill, If passed, would place English women on the same footing politically as Englishmen, In the parliamentary elections, and the next stop would be the granting to women of all electoral rights pos sessed by men. Andas women great 'y outnumber tho men, It would mean that England would be gov erned by womeu, Herotoforo Englishmen have looked upon woman suffrage as a thing to como at some time in the Indoflnlto future. Now it appears very near, and EngUshmcn are growing uneasy. "It would 'bo absurd to disguise," says tho Globe, "that the bill now before the house of commons Is the first stop toward a gigantic change. We 'are not concorned to arguo at li s moment whether the change be good or bad. Wo only ask that tho logical outcome of this measuro bo appreciated. r "If tho bill passes It moans Inovl tably the enfranchisement of nil adult women. Since womon composo tho majority of tho adults of the population, tt follows that they will dotcrmino tho results of elections, will make and unmako governments and will guide tho policy of tho na tion at homo and abroad. It may bo a very good thing that they should do so. On tho other hand, it may not." Foley Kidney Pills Have Cured Me. Tho above is a quotation from a letter written by H. M. Winkler, Evpiavlllo, Ind. "I contracted a sovore caso of kidney trouble. My back gave out and pained mo.

However much people object 1 i canned goods, there are few who would object to a canned ecretary ot the Interior a dollar and good for another bait century. Mr. Batchellor is enthus iastic about this section of the coun try, and considers that any wnll drained land in this part of the coun ty will grow fruit. "The orchards, gardens, wheat fields, clover fields and potato patches will do anyone's heart good merely to look at them. The Golden State to the south, the Evergreen state to the north where I live, have nothing to compare with this par ticular garden spot of Marion coun ty," says Mr. Batchellor. Grows Any Kind of Fruit. Fred Bents has part of the original Scheurer donation land claim on which tho Fargo Orchard tracts are located. Ho has a beautiful home on 102 acres, with many varieties of fruit. He has apples, cherries, prunes, and peaches all in bearing. He has been here about thirty years and has never failed to raise large crops of fruit. He showed the writer winter apples on Juno 10th Wine saps and Red Cheeked Pippins that had kept perfectly. The prune or chard Is twelve years old and has borne regular crops for eight years. He sold last year seven tons prunes off 62 trees. He grows Waxen, Wlnesap, Red Cheek, Gravenstein, Baldwin and June Red, the Italian and French Petite prune, Bartlett pears, late Crawford peach, Black Republican, Royal Anne, Oxheart, Late Duke i.nd Kentish cherries. He has 16 acres in hdps that turns off 1500 to 2000 pounds cured hops to the acre. Mr. Bents says: "There is no better fruit land in the Wil lamette valley than right at Fargo and we have the fruit of all kinds to show for it. I can recommend it from thirty years experience. With the same attention I can raise any kind of fruit here that can be raised anywhere in Oregon. Small fruits grow in abundance and this seems to be the natural soil for their suc cessful production. I havo also English walnuts." What an Official Says.
