We heartily are in favor of the efforts now being extended toward cleaning the stree, but we suggest that the method so used is unsuffici mi and very 'insanitary and thore f'.'p recommend so u-j method with t:he use of water. Resolved farther, that copies of this resolution be 6ent to the city coun cil and that our representatives usf th ir best efforts toward some earlyN s-oUition of this trouble. Whereas, there are many accidents at the corner of 14th and Main streets due to insufficient directions for rout ing of traffic and to cramped condi tion of turn, therefore, Be it resolved that the Live Wired are in favor of placing a large sign in bold red letters sufficiently ahead of the turn to give ade-iuato warning to traffic, sign to read something like this: "Danger, Pacific Highway, Sharp Turn to Right," an,j that the curb on the southeast intersection of 14th and Main be cut back to a curve , of less sharpness, as is customarily done in Portland and other cities, s- that turns can be made at this corn er with greater ease and less chance of danger. In view of the fact that this corn er is one of the most dangerous in our city, we respectfully request thot copies of this resolution be sent to the city council, and that our repres entatives who are members of that body use their best efforts to secure the needed relief s.t the least pos sible moment. And we would further recommend that the corners of the intersection of Main and 10th streets be also cut to a less sharp curve. Both corn ers should be cut back at this inter section. Tne road committee was instruct ed to confer with the county court in an effort to have the county road between here and Pavkplace perman ently repaired.

Beaver Creek farmer, ar rested In this city last Thursday for being intoxicated, was filed $25 by Judge Kelly yesterday afternoon. A note of pride in the work of prog ress accomplished by the. Southern Pacific company injthe past, and of optimism in looking to the part that the company will play in the future development of ths Great West, was struck by J. H. Dyer, general mana ger, in a statement issued to the em ployes of the company and to the pu' lie today, the anniversary of the driv ing of the last spike which united the country with a transcontinental rail road line, May 10, 1S69. "Fifty-two years ago today at Pro. montory Point, Utah, the r ails brought westward and those thrust to the east, met, and the last spike was driven, uniting the two railroad systems which formed the western links of the iron chain connecting tho Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. That day and that event were momentous in the history of American railroad ing, but. they are doubly significant to the men of the Pacific system ol the Southern Pacific company. '"The completion of the transcontin: ental railroad line marked the birth of a new era for the great west, ar. era that promised that development of the great untapped resources ot the western states, that promised the transformation of large areas of ar id lands into stretchees of productive farms, and the growth of frontier hamlets into centers of industry and commerce. These promises ot wealth anH prosperity were based on the. development of railroad service, and the Southern Pacific company, Pacific system, has felt a responsi bilitty for their fulfillment. Full cooperation in aiding the west to rea lize its destiny has been viewed by the Southern Pacific company- as a self imposed charge.

If 1 . 1 - I . is; v ' III jar s i S ft Si t WASHINGTON, D. C. May 6 Un less western wool glowers begin t make themselves heard they are likely to receive the short end of the bargain in the general tariff bill now bein framed, according to Senator Robert N". Stanfield of Oregon. Senator Stan- field said: "I am informed the sub-committee of tho house ways and means commit tee has decided 'on a wool schedule for the general tariff bill practically the same as schedule K of the Payne Aldrich bill, carrying a duty of 11 cent" a pound on wool in the grease. The recommendation probably fol lows the language of the emergency tariff bill in attempting to elimina the skirting clause . The emergency tariff bill says: " 'On wcol and hair which is as sorted or increased m value by tUe rejection of any part of the original fleece the duty shall be twice the duty to which it would otherwise be subject.' "While this prohibits the sorting of fleeces fcr the purpose of eliminat ing the heavy shrinking portions to the extent of doubling the duty it does not prevent the dusting of wool to remove all dirt or foreign material from the wool by a dustiug process oi any other process than that of wash ing or scouring, therefore it leaves the way open tor importers materially to reduce the natural shrinkage of wool imported. This could be prevented by prohibiting tiie removal of any fleece content, such as dirt or grease, as well as the removal of a portion of the fleece. "The manufacturer will receive a compensatory duty of three times the duty given the grower to equalize the difference of the cost of wool as to American manufacture and to foroig'i manufacture. This adjustment is based on the presumption that the "ooI imported will have an average shrinkage of 66 2-3 and the 11-cent duty on wool in the grease is com pensated to the manufacturer by 33 cents per pound duty on clean wool. It is obvious that a manufacture can, by importing light shinkage wool re duce the duty which he actually pi;s on the grease basis at II cents per pound., far below the 22 cents per pound compensation received. For in stance, wool shrinking 40 per cent would yield 60 per cent clean wool or 100 pounds of grease wool carrying 11 cents per pound duty or $11 per hun uredweight would yield 60 pounds dean, paying a duty of one-sixteenth of $11, or 3 1-3 cents per pound. Yet the manufacturer receives compensa tion of 33 cents per pound, or 14 2-3 cents" that he is not. entitled to re ceive under the guise of compensation lor duty paid to prtect the wool pro ducer "Quite naturally all importers will seek light shrinking wools and the protection to growers will be reduced j below the 11 cents pergvease pound m the ratio that shrinkage of woo! imported bears to '66 2-3 pt.r cent. Tho tnly way to avert this opportunity lor defeating the intended protection to the growers is by making the duty on the scoured basis for actual wool content. Some objection is voiced to this because of the"difficulty in as certaining the shrinkage, but al! growers will recall that the govern ment found its practical to appraise their wool on a scoured basis when taken over by the government during the war. They' likewise know that all wool is bought on the estimated wool content and it is practical now to provide competent appraisers and col lect duty on the wool content instead of the impractical method of assum ing that the wool imported will be. of an average shrinkage of 66 2-3 per cent." COMMISSION TO PROTECT RIVER FISH "PORTLAND, May 10. The Willam ette river wa's closed to commercial fishing by order of the fish commis sion at its meeting Tuesday. The order is in effect June 1, and will take in all of the water of the Willamette river and the Willamette slough from the suspension bridge at Oregon City to the confluence with the Columbia river. The action was taken, explaineJ the commission members, to protect the salmon anj other food fish in the Willamette river. The Willamette is the only river left. where steed fish may be obtained, it wais said and if the hatchery op erations of the fish commission are obe continued and extended, the egg supply must keep pace with the growth and development of the hatcheries "The requirements of the industry require constantly increasing hatch ery operations," said Carl D. Shoe maker, master fish warden, at the meeting. "At the last session of the legislature, appropriations were made for new feeding or nursing' ponds cn the Wallowa river and on the Clats kanie river. Likewise, appropriations wera. made for hatchery operations oa the Santiam and upper Willamette rivers. "The natural spawning grounds in the upper reaches of the Columbia and its tributaries have been rumei by the inroads of civilization and the development of irrigation mining and power projects hae made further in roads into these vast natural spawn ing areas." . The commisioners declared in ans wer to questions from Mr. Malarkey as to their real motives for desiring the closing, that the protection of the fish was the real and only motive for , their action. The eommisioner d-anicd a state ment; by Mr. Malarkey that the clos- ing oi the Willamette would mean more tish for the Columbia river na :k ers. They fai'd tha tabout SO per cent of all fish.a takeen in years past in the Willamette river by means of nets have been delivered to three canner ies operating on the Columbia. The -been sold to the local fhesh fish mar kets, they said and, thi3 small amount could be made up easily from tha catch in the Columbia river.
