JOE HROVAT, II, IS In the Grays Harbor WaMiiiiKtonian Franklin II. Hassctt of the Hoquiam Carpenter's Union asks "VVlint ails the state federa tion of labor?" This protest is republished in the Walla Walla Monitor, of ficial organ of the Trades and Labor council. He says the state federation does not command public respect as it should, and intimates that there has been too much playing to the Rallarics. "He deplores fantastic talk about a four-hour day until an eight-hour day has been made a reality. He thinks hurling bravado at the governor arid fancying legis latures are at the beck and call of any man wearing an union label, puts organized labor on the down grade. He says public opinion favorable to labor unions is fast waning in Washington, and that is 75 per cent of th assets of organized labor. He attributes this deplorable condition of labor unions to sen timental leadership trying to hatch a nest of promiscuous infertile eggs from the socialistic supply house. He says the end of this attempt will be some empty shells and sulphuric smells and that is what ails the state federation of labor. Joe Hrovnt, aged 11 years, never did llko Oregon City. The venturesome life In the broad bright world appealed much more than a dry existence at home, particularly when a steady at tendance at school Is a part of home life. These were the sentiments of the youth when he was landed In the city jail Monday afternoon following his second attempt to see the world In the last four months. . Young Hrovat ran away from home last Saturday and was picked tip in Tortland late that night by the Port land police. Cheif Shaw went to Portland Monday and returned with the child. Mrs. Samuel Hrovat, the mother or the would-be globe-trotter, aay she ha no influence with her son. He will probably be turned over to the Juvenile officials and tent to the state reform school. CJUCACO. Feu. JS, The country 1 In the midst of a period of unemploy ment and distress, the like of which the nation never saw before, William Sproule, president of the Pacific sys tem of the Southern Pacific company, declared here tonight In an address at the annual dinner of the traffic club. He attributed this condition to what he said was a long continued clamor against all sorts of public businesses, and predicted Its end only when re turning prosperity for employars should spell prosperity for the employed. Beginning by outlining difficulties faced by tho transportation business, which he said, had "lost its momen tum," he broadened to the state of business generally, and took vigorous exception to any suggestion that bus iness conditions would be better If bus iness men believed they would be bet ter. "The booster lifts nothing higher than the level of his own teeth," de clared tho railway executive. "The trumpeter of prosperity beguiles only s own cars. Prosperity la real, or It does not exist. We do not have to look for it; It comes to us. It grows within our sight like a plant coming In flower. It comes to us when the employer resumes employment, and It will not come to us until the people generally, whether their capacity be lurge or small, whether they work with their muscles or their minds (and all work requires mind) discovers that their condition Improves only as their employer is prosperous. "It Is the habit of the time to Bpeak of unemployment as If It related only to those who work for a specific hour ly or dally, weekly or monthly wage. It I thought of chiefly as relating to those engaged In minor places or In humbler duties of life. ' "The facts run quite to the con trary. It is the employer who Is first out of employment. As a natural se quence, he Is followed by the e ployes." Over one hundred teacher attend ed tho teacher' local Institute at Oak Grove Saturday. Every part of the county was represented. F.

MYSTERIOUS ATTACK IS MADE PORTLAND, Ore, Mar. 2. Strug gling In the clutch of a strange assail ant near her home this morning, Miss Louise Schoepper rolled part way down the long flight of steps tbr- lead Into Tualatin boulevard at Woods street, sustaining painful Injuries. Ap parently rrlghtened by her screams, the man did not pursue his attack and fled. Miss Schoepper, who Is employed as auditor at Roberts Brothers' depart ment store, had Just left her home at 835 Tenth street about 8:15 o'clock and was descending the steps to the carllne. when the man stepped out from the brush on the hillside and said: "What's your hurry?" As he spoke, the man exed her by tbe throat. Miss Schoepper screamed and strug gled free, falling several steps down the steep Incline. PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 27. "Some one on this jury has violated his oath. It is an outrage on the taxpayers of Multnomah county that a Jury should hold out In a simple case like ihU." Circuit Judge Davis thus censured a jury which had been unable to r?rec after 21 hours In the trial of Doiniulco Pacini, charged with murder In ihe second degree for killing Mrs. Olhr.bla Palermlni near Gray's Crossing on No vember 7, Pncnil had admitted t.ie killing and through an interpreter had told the jury how he shot Mrs. Paler mini in the back and then slashed her w ith a razor. Judge Davis discharged tho Jury. William Walker, the foreman, said they stood 11 to 1 for conviction. The lone man who stood out ngalnst tho rest wanted to convict Pacini of man slaughter. Evidence In Pacini's trial was nil in Thursday and at 2 -20 p. m. the Jury re tired. They wero Instructed to call the Judge when they reached a ver dict. At 11 o'clock this morning they were st.'l out, and Judge Davis sent Ha'iff llogan to bring the IS men in to court He then gavo them roillur instructions on the legal points in volved, laying particular stress on the technical llfference beiveen man slaughter and murder. (By Edward K. Titus.) What become of th retailer If scheme ror co-operative buying and storage and public market ahall be worked out successfully? There nerd be no fear for th re tailer, provided he I progressive and adapt hi buslnea to th price th consumer I able to pay. For one thing, the average retailer la rar too apt to buy bia goods or th wholesaler simply because It Is "tbe easiest way." Perhaps It take him but five min ute to give hi order to tbe agent of the wholesaler. Perhaps also by a little Investigation among tbe farmers and farm bureau he could find om one who would agree to let him have mall quantities of food product ev ery week at a price little ahead of that which the farmer geta from the Jobber, and which would permit him to sell to the retailer for a moderate price. Retail baelnes should be done In bigger unit. The little grocer, who never get business enough to buy In any quantity, I not an economical dis tributor. If h can advertise reason ably, he ihould be able to double hi sales, which would permit bin to buy In larger quantities, to reduce hi over head charge per unit of sale, and to ell at a lower price. Distribution of food product I a big lubject. It varioua aspect have only been hinted at In the limited Vce available- for thi series of edi torials. Tbe Ideas that tand out most clearly are these: 1. The American people are paying a needlessly high cost for food by let ting these supplies pass through too many hands. 2. Tbe farmer could make more money for himself by providing such ctorage facilities, usually by co-operative arrangements, as- would enable him to sell to retailers and single con sumers in small lots as needed. 3. The retailer should take more pales to protect the Interest of his cus tomers, and Investigate all possible chances or buying goods direct rrom the producers. Then he thould adver tise freely to enlarge his business and reduce the relative cost of overhead charges.

Certificate or Convenience and Necessity EDNA MAY HAFER IS TO T JUDGE ANDERSON RECEIVES LET TER FROM SUNNYSIDE, WASH, WOMAN While Mrs. Frank Casto and Mrs. Sylvia Roberts were fighting for the possession of Edna May Oliva Hafer, an orphan, Mrs. Van Avery, an aunt of the girl living ot Sunnyslde, Wash., has been awarded the girl by County Judge Anderson. The petitions of both Mr. Casto and Mr. Roberts were argued before County Judge Anderson early In Feb ruary. Mrs. Van Avery read an ac count ot the case In a Portland paper and promptly wrote Judge Anderson. Mrs. Van Avery has a twin brother ot Edna Hafer under her control at thla time. It' not probable that tbe case will be contested further. The Washington senate has passed a law requiring a certifi cate of public necessity and convenience from the Public Service commission before a competing franchise can be granted. In Oregon the senate passed a similar law, but it was defeated in the lower house by four votes. A practical illustration of the importance of such a law is furnished by the conditions in towns of eastern Oregon. The Idaho-Oregon Co. has been supplying the cities on the Snake river in Oregon and land owners with light and power 3000 horsepower being used for irrigation. To force the Idaho-Oregon Power Co. to sell out to them, the Boise Power Co, wants franchises in these eastern Oregon towns. Mayor A. V. Trow, of Ontario, asks the Oregon Public Utility commission to withhold a franchise until the city and power users can make favorable contracts. By the failure of the Oregon legislature to enact the law the commission has no power to either permit or forbid rival utility companies entering the field. . ' - By section 61, laws of Oregon 191 1, cities can prescribe terms on which a public utility can occupy the streets, subject to review as to reasonableness. The Idaho-Oregon Light & Power company has had the handi cap of a receivership, the property was bid in by the mortgage bond holders and now it is to be subjected to a duplicate service in compe tition. This is a practical illustration of the need of a certificate of convenience and necessity law.
