Iowa ia everywhere looked upon as the rock-ribbed republican state ol the T'ni.tn lint thii rrtnnhlii'dna of that atatft while they believe in a protective Uriir, they also recourse that in some lines the tariff can be so changed as not to even appear to help the trusts am) monoplies. The republicans of this iate believe that the taritT should be changed if in any way the trusts are to be benefitted as the taritT stands. At their recent convention they ad pted the following plank : "We favor such changes in the tariff from time to time as be comes advisable through the progress gress of our industries and their chain relations fo the commerce of the world. We iudorse the policy of reciprocity as the natural complement of protection. and urge its development as necessary to the realixation of our highest commer cial possibilities." It is safe to say that the people will find the republican parly ready and willing to make anv changes in the taritf, if any are found advisable, that will protect the people, hold the trusts in check and advance the prospeiity of the country. Chairman Harding Submits Ills Financial llcport. SPECIAL SESSION TALK. Tiik rainfall during the early days of the month of July was the heaviest ever known in that month at many points in Oregon. In fact, climatically, July was a most remarkable month. The prevail ing winds about the middle of tne month were more severe than any previous oc currence of that character for the sum mer season. One noticeable fact about the windstorm was the great extent of country effected. Fruit suffered greater injury than anything else. The bop crop of Oregon in 1899, as shown by the United States census, was nearly 15,00,000 pounds, the average value being about 6 cents a pound. The crop this year appears likely to amount to about 14,000,000 pounds, while there ij good reason to believe the prevailing price will be 25 cents a pound. More than a quarter of a million dollars will ba realized from the hop crop in Oregon this year. Governor (!eor Kecelves resolution from Clackamas County ( range. There has been little said of late re garding the special session of the legisla ture which it was thought Governor (Jeer would call before the regular session. But the matter has not died out, as is I evidenced by letters received in the ex ecutive office from day to day, urging the calling of an extraordinary session. Among those sent to the governor last week was one from Highland grange, No. -'til, 1'atrons of Husbandry, of Highland, Clackamas county, enclosing the follow ing resolutions adopted by that grange on July tki, last: "Whereas, the direct legislative amendment to the state constitution and the system of fixing the salaries of state officials have received a practical and hearty endorsement by the legal voters of the state of Oregon, it is felt that there wonld be much less diiliculty in securing the enactment of both these measures into law at a special session of the Legis lature convened expressly for that pur pose, than at a regular session ; there fore, be it Resolved, by Highland grange, No. 2(31, P. of H., that his Excellency, Gov ernor (Jeer, be urged to call a special session of the legislature lor some conven ient date before the regular session, for the purpose of considering the aliove tnetionned propositions. C.N. LARKINS, "G. R. Miller. Master. ".Secretary." Newsphpsb readers have been con fronted daring the past few days by glar ing headlines, giving warning to Eastern Oregon and Washington farmers to be aware of the politicians. This advice comes from a trio of railroad presidents the three greatest in the w orld who have just held a seance with the grain growers. Really, geDtlemen, you must be joking. The average reader wonders what is in store when the magnates turn a cold shoulder to the politicians. At a meeting of Meade Post, No. 2., G. A K., held in this city Monday even ing, G. A. Harding submitted a report showing the condition of finances han dled by the committee having had in charge the arrangements (or Memorial Pav observance. The report reads as follows : "To the officers and members of Meado Post No. 2. G. A.

Clackamas County's Share $12,000. is Almost Appeals to the governor to call an ex tra session of the legislature continue to be made. A great many people in the slate are heartily in favor of such an act, especially since there was so much said duriDg the last campaign in regard to re ducing state expenses. The salary ques tion demands attention and the people are looking to Gov. Geer to assist them in the accomplishment of ' this much needed remedial legislation. Many peo ple claim that since the referendum amendment was so unanimously adopted there should be immediate steps taken to put it into operation. State Treanrer Moore made the annual apportionment of school funds accruing from the irreducible school fund last Sat urday. The amount distributed through out the state is $214,U:J'J.35, said to he the largest amount so distributed ever apportioned. There is a notable increase in the rate per capita this year. This increase amounts to 33 cents. Last year the per capita was fl.22; this year it is $1.55. The total number of children in the state is 138,477, making the amount distributed at $1.55, $214,039.35. The several counties will receive amounts ac cording to their school population, as shown below : County o. Children Comptroller of the Currency Ridgley lias been in office since the first of last October, and durin; that period, almost ten months, only two banks have failed. f6th of them were insignificant ; one at Eufala, Ala., having a capital of f 100, 000, and the other at Belmont, Ohio, with a capital of only $25,000. The former was an old institution, a sort of family affair, which had been poorly managed for ten years, and doing very little business, but managed to struggle along until the comptroller decided that it better be closed. There was a very small loss to the stockholders, and it was tbeir own fault. The other bank was looted by its officers, but the loss was comparatively small. This is a remarkable record, and probably un precedented. The files have not been examined, but it is altogether certain that never before in the history of the national banking system of the United 6tates have ten months passed without more than two failures, or a loss of more than $125,000. It goes without saying that it u due to the healthy financial condition of the country. Baker. Benton ... Clackamas , Clatsop. . . . Columbia . . Coos Crook Curry louglas. . . . Grant Gilliam...

An organ ization to project such an enterprise has just been formed at Milwaukie, where the annual convention of the Young People's Alliance was recently held. The capital stock has been placed at $1500. The officers of the new organization are: 1 resident, Kev. . Mmpp, presid ing elder Salem district ; vice-president, Rev. J. E. hmith, presiding elder Port land district, and Rev. G. W. Pliimmer, pastor First Evangelical church, Port land ; secretary, Rev. P. J. Green, pastor Memorial Evangelical Church, Portland ; treasurer, A. E. Weinerl; executive committee. Enough of the stock has been sub scribed to permit the organization to go lorward. It is proposed to purchase not less than ten acres at some convenient point on the Willamette river and near the rail way, where the tract can be easily reached from all points in the Oregon conference. As soon as the grounds have been selected and purchased it will be platted and provisions made for put ting up cottages, to be used during the conventions and campmeetings. The executive committee ia looking up a tract, and when one has been found the stockholders will be called together. Cauital stock will be increased when it becomes necessary, but $1500 was con sidered sufficient to start with. Such a site as is desired can be found between Oregon City and the Multno mah line, and the prospects are that a selection of grounds not a great ways from Oregon City will be made. Teaclien.'

Oreiron lumber to the extent of fully 20O,0OU,0OO feet has lawn shipped from this state since January 1, this year, (if this amount 54,09:!, 201 feet have gone by water, and aliout 150,000,000 by rail. Hail shipments have gone south ami east. A little less than half the water shipments have gone direct lo foreign IKjrts. Besides this great volume of lum ber In all forms shingles, boxes, sashes and doors and sawed and round lumber the local consumption has leen large, and all the mills have been crowded lo Uieir full enpacily to keep up with tiie demand. The lumber business of Oregon never saw such activity before. The demand for timber land has kept pace with the march of the lumber in dustrv.and comparatively little of the valuable forest land of the state remains free. The price of standing limber has advanced in keeping with the advance in sawed lumber. The nulls have been able to pick their orders, for the Eastern lumber market has been eager lo t.ike everything turned out in Oregon. Wash ington has Uen similarly active in the lumber trade, and a correspondingly large volume of its timber product has gone into the world's markets this year. No sign of abatememerit in the demand ran yet be descried, and the whole lum bering fraternity is huuuiing itself lo meet the most pressing gneral demand ever known in the Pacilic Northwest. The general prosperity, great building activity and the waning supply of the East are factors that are materially in creasing the profits of the lumbermen of this country.
