This county and state are among I

the greatest in the union. They have
great exports and imports; they have I
'
great iadustries and great natural re
sources; they have great possibilities
and greater expectations; great men
and great women have been reared
here and we have great wealth among
our numebrs, while poverty is very
lightly represented. But with all this
greatness we need unanimity of ac
tion greater trust in our neighbor.
We need, further, some strong, think

tive citizens in . the State Legisia-1

ture have a great bearing. Do your

In view of some of the oratory of
the day Col. Bryan must begin' to feel
like a hard shell Conservative.
A. quick-firing gun for aeroplanes
has been invented in England. Ideas
of this nature move faster than arbi
tration treaties.
Most of Col. Bryan's 52 years like
the years passed by other public men,
have been spent in a futile effort to
attain something beyond his reach.
Ex-Senator Peffer of Populist fame,
continues to work hard on an auto
biography though one of his legs was
recently amputated. Perhaps his ob
ject is to admonish some of the ora
tors of 1912 not to steal all the popu

gantly. A Kansas scientist is investigating

they do in their own fashion, but if

SEATTLE SOLONS
"INSPECT BIG
As guests of the Puget Sound Con
struction Company, Mayor Cotterill
and members of . the Seattle Council
and .board of public works, went to
Estacada to inspect the Amburson
type dam installed there for the Port-
! land Railway, Light & Power Company.
About a year ago a $500,000 dam be-
longing to the municipal lighting sys-
tem of Seattle was destroyed in a
flood and the Puget Sound Company
proposes to lnstall a new one in Cedar
River after the type ot tne jd.staca.id
-i Tit. J. P nnl i -PFi nlnlo
a am. me visit m oeatuie
officials
was to decide whether to adopt the
type for their own project.
The party was entertained at lunch
at the Estacada Hotel. All members
of the party declared themselves high
ly pleased with the big dam at Esta
cada. The new dam to be construct
ed in Cedar River will cost about
1400,000 and it seems probable that a
type of dam similar to that at Esta
cada will be recommended.

MIDDLE WEST STRONG
BIDDER FORPOTATOES
The potato market situation is mixed
but extreme strength is now showing
in eastern Oregon. Reports from
there indicate that the middle west
is a strong bidder for supplies and as
high as $2 per cental has been paid
there f. o. b. station. This is the high
est price ever known for the interior
stock.
At Wilamette valley points the mar
ket is setting more active after a few
days of rest. Values as a rule range
close to $1.75 for extra choice stock
and a number of deals have been re
ported at this figure during the past
24 hours.
There has been no improvement in
the situation at San Francisco. The
market there remains at the low lev
el of last week. The buying of pota
toes in the interior by the middle west
dealers disproves the report given out
by San Francisco speculators here
that the east was shipping potatoes
to California.
The market at Yakima has been
rather weak recently, and some of the
California speculators have gone into
that territory and have purchased
heavily, while doing nothing but talk
of high prices here. If they can sue
ceed in exciting growers here to hold
while tbey unload the low-priced Yak
ima purchases they will win a big
sum.

CHURCH SOCIETY TO
" GIVE ENTERTAINMENT
The social, "An old fashioned dis
trict school," to be given by the young
people of the 'Christian, Endeavor soc
iety of thhe Congregational church
promises to be interesting. A great
deal of fun can be got out of the idea.
Every one attending is expected to
come as a school boy or school girl.
The girls are each to bring lunches
for two. There will be remarkable
recitations in "readin" "riten1' and
"ritmetic" and "pieces spoke" that
have not been heard for years in pub
lic. The dunce cap and birch are ex
pected to be used freely if necessary.
An old fashioned spelling jmatch will
furnish some excitement.

Coined In Bedlam.
The phrase "to sbam Abraham" was
coined in Redlam. or Bethlehem hospi
tal, where there was at one time an
Abraham wnrd. the inmates of which
upon certain days were permitted to
go out as licensed beggars on behalf
of the hospital. These mendicant lu
natics were known as "Abraham men."
and their success in invoking the pity
of the charitable was srtch that they
bad many unlicensed imitators, who.
wben- discovered, were said "to have
shammed Abraham."
HOSPITALITY.
Hospitality must be for service and
not for show or it pulls down the
host. The brave soul rates itself
too high to value itself by the splen--oor
oi its table and its draperies.
It gives what it hath and aJ it hath,
but its own majesty can lend a better
grace to bannocks and fair water
than belongs to grand city feasts.

LARGE EGG HARVEST
A joke is- being told on a promi
nent young woman of Gladstone, who
wishing to assist her mother, decid
ed to feed the chickens. Upon re
turning from the chicken house she
exclaimed, "My the hens have done
wonderfully well today, just think they
have laid thirty-two eggs." The moth
er thinking this being impossible as
the hens had never before been so
busy started out to investigate and
to her horror found that her daughter
had robbed by mistake the nest of a
setting hen. The setting cost about
$5 and the expression of the young
woman's faced changed when she was
informed of her mistake. Luckily the
egg3 had been placed under the hen
the day they were taken.

SENATE COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, March 28. The
right of Seator Lorimer of Illinois, to
his seat in the United States Senate .
was upheld today by the special in
vestigation committee, which decided
that the Senate's vote sustaining
Lorimer in the last Congress on sub
stantially the same charges, barred
any further proceedings against him.
The vote was five to three.
The committee not only adopted the
"res ajudicata' resolution prepared by
Senator Jones, of Washington, but oth
er resolutions favoring the Lorimer
contentions.
The Jones resolution declared that
the pending case already had been
covered by the previous trial of Lor
'mer in the Senate and that again to
place the Illinois Senator on trial
would not be in accord with the prin
ciple of "res ajudicata."
Another resolution adopted exonera
ted Edward Hines, of Chicago, presi
dent of a large lumber company, of
any wrong doing.
By a vote of 5 to 3 the committee
adopted a resolution declaring that if
there was any corrupt dealing in con-"
nection with Lorimer' s election, Sena
tor Lorimer had no knowledge of it.
There was no conclusive evidence of
a "jackpot" in the Illinois legislature,
it was found.
On the resolution declaring that
Lorimer had no knowledge of any cor
rupt dealings, Senators Kenyon, Kern,
and Lea, who opposed Lorimer, re
frained from voting.
The committee vote on the reso
lution follows:
For Lorimer Dillingham, Gamble,
Jones, Johnston and Fletcher.
Against Lorimer Kern, Kenyon
and Lea.
It is practically certain a minority
report also will be made from the
committee and a notable debate is ex
pected when the case reaches the
floor of the Senate.

the millowners and their employes
and those w-ho are on strike had reach
ed a point beyond the control of the
police, Mayor Harry Ferguson today
wa3 urged by many citizens to ask the

BEAVERS READY FOR
SANTA MARIA, Cal. March 28.
(Special Peace and quietness now
prevail In the Beaver camp since
Manager Walter McCredie made the
announcement that Benny Henderson
and Dan Howley would be the Portland
battery in the opening game of the Pa
cific Coast League, against Hen Ber
ry s Angels next Tuesday.
Until last night Koestner occupied
first place in the ball manager's choice
for the honor of twirling the first
game in the Coast League season, but
Benny Henderson made such a fav
orable impression on the Beaver boss
yesterday afternoon that he was final
ly chosen for the hors de combat.
Big Dan Howley will be on the re
ceiving end of Henderson's benders,
and will be a surprise to the fans
along the circuit. He is a tall, rangy
with a beautiful peg to the bases and
is quick to act. His chief forte is out
guessing the opposing batters and
base runners.
The Beaver infield, with Bill Rapps
at the initial sack, Rodgers at the sec
ond cushion, Bill Lindsey at the key
stone . corner and Bancroft to hold
down the short field position, the pros
pects for opposing batters securing
many safe bingles through what ap
pears to e a stone wall defense is
slim.
With Chadbourne in, left, Krueger
in center and Doane in right there is
not much chance of anything getting
away from the outfielders. If Krue
ger keeps up the form he has shown
here ta training parctice he will be
a few notches faster than his 1911
playing form, and with such chain
lightning men as Chadbourne and
Doane on either side of the flying
dutcbmr.n, they will gather in all the
drives that come their way.
The boys will indulge in light prac
tice both morning and evening until
they stack up against the Santa Maria
team Sunday afternoon.
The Beavers leave here Sunday aft
ernoon on the 4 o'clock local for Los
Angeles where they will take things
easy until the battle wages Tuesday
afternoon.
