8pakar of Houaa Blocked Diversion
of Reclamation Fund.
Waahlbgion, July 10. Thanki lo
Hptaker Cannon, tha llanahrough bill
diverting 11,000,000 from th reclama
tion fund to drain private awemp land
In North Dakota, waa not allowed to
com before th houae at the Meant aea
alon. Had the bill been given consid
eration it would almnat certainly have
become a law, lor II had already paed
tha aenata, waa Indoraed by a majority
ol th houae eoramtlteeon public land,
and qnly a handful ol Weatern mem
ber war In a mood to oppoae tha bill
in debate.
Bpnaker Cannon waa th man who
deflated tbi ontlatight on th none too
large reclamation fund, and hi poal
Hon ftiu altogathar oneipeetad, too.
When congrrea waa framing the recla
mation law, and in tba year prelooi,
Cannon waa one ol tha itrongeat oppon
ent of the prnpoawl leglalation. II
believed It would deplete th treeauiy
and Inter far with other government
work; furthermore, be contend! that
Irrigation ol arid land could be carried
on by private enterprise under tha Car
ey act, and therefore raw no neceaaltv
for ntilliing public land receipt In tbi
great work.
HI ore that law wat written on the
aatute book and baa been put Into op
eration, Kprakrr Cannon haa traveled
through the Weat, ba obeerved th
vait bone at that are resulting from It,
and today ha i aa (launch a friend of
tha law aa any man from th arid Weat.
He ha proved bimaelf better fritod
of the law than many men who helped
to frame It.
In the cloalng day of the esion an
effort waa made to ruth through the
aenate a bill lo take a part ol the recla
mation lurd for draining the Dltmal
wamp, but the bill waa refuaed eon
Mention, a number of Weatern aenat-
or hiving been rouaed to raaliiatlon
of tba danger that lurka behind blllt ol
tbia character, and notice waa eerved
by Benalor Fulton that no more dial) I
hut lone would b made from the recla
mation furd for tha brneOt ol atatea
that do not contribute to that fund.
Tha aenator behind th bill provid
ing lor the drainage of th Diimel
awamp, the Florida Kveigladea and the
h,lg awampa along the Mieeieaippi river,
on the other hand, are determined to
force through thill respective bill,
aud it la to tie eipected that they will
unite at the belt ereeion.
The Weat ' not strong enough In
nunilwr to outvnt the Sonln, which 1
sura to stand together on these drain
age pmpoattiooe, and th only hope, o
far as the einate I concerned, I in
arousing adverse sentiment among men
from lb Northern and Ftaatern stales.
On lair pranlatlon ol the case,
tba man from th Writ ought to be
ahlu to win" out, but they can only win
by atandiug together, and thee who in
the recent ecu inn voted lor the liana
brough bill will have to renounce their
former vote and declare themselves
ageieit all legislation that will deplete
lb national reclamation tuna.

the let spring rains, recovered Irom
the temporary astback and made a lull

ture ol Industry and prosperity, FWery
variety ol farm product will be almost
a lull yield, and som, particularly the
hay eutput, will so r pass all previous
records.
Haying I now In it busiest atace.
and the enormous site ol th crop will
tax the resources ol tb arming com
munity to car lor It before tb thresh
ing season. This year' hay crop 1
notable lor the great amount ol vetchea
grown. Till greatest of all stock foods
thrives In tb Willamette val.ey, and
Linn farmers ara beginning to realise
the fact. It bat many ol tba properties
that rejuvenate tba soil, and 1 itself a
profitable product. Running a blgb
aa five tons to tha acre, it not only
yields enormous stack of bay, but also
furnishes excellent pasturage.
There Is a maiket shortage on farm
laborer in Llnu county, and farmer
are experiencing extreme difficulty in
homing their crops.
All classes ol grain will be ready for
harvest soon, and almost at tb same
time. Tbi complicate metier and
create a greater demand lor help than
ordinary. Ti meet tb occasion farm
ers ara doubling force in tb baying
and in tbi way the work la progressing
rapidly, and aoon tb greatest outpat
of hay Linn county baa ver produced
will be on the market.
A part ol tbe woik ol thresher tbi

Hot Wind Caua Damage.

prevailed recently unquestionably did
more or lees damage to grain. Farm

report lata grain badly Injurtd, but
they do not coniider that early spring

VALLEY FARMER8 COMBINE.
Will
Obtain Their Grain Bag Inde
pendent of Buyara.
Balem There I a lively war on be
tween Willamette valley farmers and
th valley millers and warahooaemcn,
growing out of the question of furnish
ing sack lor grain. It ha always been
tbe practice for warehousemen and
miller to furnish sacks to farmer and
take th value ol tb rack out ol th
purchase price ol the grain when told
Recently miller and warehousemen
in other valley counties decided to dis
continue tbi practice and to require
farmer to buy tb lack ontrigbt
Marion and Polk county grainbuyers
bav practically agreed to tbeT eame
plan, though no formal action baa been
taken.
This is a blessing to valley farm
er," declared W. A. Taylor, a promln
ent grain farmer. "Tbe warehousemen
bav got none tb stsri of ns, for al
ready we have begun arranging to buy
sacks independent of thorn. We bav
placed on reel vea In their power too
long. Now the farmer will build
granaries on their own farm, buy only
sacks enough to haul grain from the
field to tbe granary, let tbe grain lie
loose in bin, and thu b compelled to
bny only one-tenth as many sacks a
they do.
'I bave learned by experience that I
can sometime get 8 cento more a bosh
el lor my wheat by having poaaession
of tba grain when I get ready to Mil
Farmers can make enough in a aingle
season by Increaaed price of wheat to
pay for their granaries.
"Let tb warehousemen combine,
We are doing eomething in that line
ourselves and we shall buy our sacks
without paying tribute to tb ware
housemen."
Linn Losing Undesirable Element

by tb Booth-Kelly Lumber company
in tbe sawmills and logging camps

ontlying harbor defenses, where tb
rioters succeeded in capturing a battery
ol artillery. Th gunner mad but
(cant abow ol resistance, it be ng
plain tbat they war in sympathy with

abrapoel Into tb attacking column and
forced it to retreat, with heavy loea.
At last account, th rebel wer (till

RECIPROCITY THE NEXT ISSUE.
Congress Will Be Asked to Enlarge
Presidents Powera.
Washington. July 10. Tariff reel
procitv as the beginning ef tariff revi
sion may be made the chief issue of tbe
abort session of ths 69th congress. It
is more than likely tbat after the elec
tion in November step will be taken in
the direction of the passage of a general
reciprocity law. Whatever reciprocity
there is must be by a new law. because
the reciprocity feature of the Dingley
act expired two year alter it passage,
and none of the treaties negotiated on
der its provision succeeded in securing
raticfiation by the senate.
Tb reciprocity ol tbe future must o
statutory, tbat is to say, th president
must be autborixed in some way, either
bv tbe separation of a maximum and
jiinimum tariB or by a horisontai re
duction, to promote trade relations
with tohre countries This would not
mean revision of the tariff if reciprocity
could be accomplished on a percentage
basis, tbat ia to say, by the application
of a more general principle ol tbe pres
ent law without disturbing tb rate
themselves, thus provoking a general
tariff discussion.
