TREASURER TELLS OF (Continued from page 1) By that you meant that you have no knowledge of his knowing?" Sheldon referred to his books and said the contributions to the National committee in 1908 amounted to $1, ,655,518.27. Tae Senate committee has been try ing to get former Governor Odell of New York to testify about the Harri man contribution. He may appear later. The committee has not taken up the question of asking Roosevelt to testify. "Some of the committee were sur prised that Chairman Clapp question ed Sheldon about the 1904 campaign instead of the 1908 fight. "Do you know of any contribution in 1904 by any one connected ' with the United States Steel Corporation?" inquired Clapp. "It is difficult to answer that; not to my personal knowledge," replied Sheldon. He gave similar answer to the questions about the tobacco trust, Standard Oil, the American Protect ive Tariff League and various mamf facturers. Senator Clapp asked Sheldon for his recollection of contributions above J5000 in 1896, in which the witness mentioned J. P. Morgan Co., and . Henry Frick. He was unable to say definitely what others contributed to that campaign He was confused as to the contributors to the campaigns 6f 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908 Sheldon was excused today, with the understanding that he might be recalled after the committee' had ex amined the books. cost ma nest rriena.

He has a fine beard, T)ut his friends told him it was unbecoming so he has decided to part with it. Mr. Lutz, although he had many hardships, does not look any the worse for the trip. He said fishing was excellent. The first stop was made in the Caz adero country, where the trails were followed, and the party passed over the Olalla mountains, Pike's Peak, and other mountains. The fish that were planted were of different varieties in cluding Rainbow, Brook and others. So far 50,000 fish have been planted, there being in all more than 60000. The party suffered from cold on several occasions. Tents were not used on the trip, the men sleeping in the open air.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS DELAYED BY DEADLOCK WASHINGTON, July 25. The ad journment of congress, which was hop ed for soon, is today expected to be greatly prolonged by the Democratic caucus vote last night of 70 to 62 against the construction of two battle ships as the naval program for next year. ' The vote is taken as forecasting a conference deadlock on he naval ap propriation bill, in which the senate inserted the amendment providing for two battleships after the house had gone on record as being against their construction. The senate conferees, it is expected, will refuse to recede from their position and members of con gress interviewed today declared that the house positively will agree to no compromise. BITULITHIC AWARD BORO AT HILLS- Citizens and Taxpers generally Seem to Appreciate What Good Streets Do for a City Hillsboro continues in the progres sive column. . At the recent meeting of the city council in that .city, another contract was awarded for street pavement. Bit alithic will be used. Ever since the first BituUthic pave ment was laid in Hillsboro, the citi zens and taxpayers have gradually been lining up in favor of paved streets everywhere, and now 't is al rost a universail sentiment A good share of the credit is due to the char acter o? the pavement used Bitulithic and to the council which originally named this kind of pavement fr '.he afreets of Hillsboro.

Vine growth in many of the fields is reported to have practic ally come to a standstill ,and in some cases the vines are said to be drying up. It is of course possible that the con ditions as reported there have been overdrawn, but in the past there have been seasons of partial crop failure in Southern California, and there should be nothing surprising in a re currence of that situation once in a while. In the .event of a seriously short yield in the southern part of that state the market for 1912 Ore gons would of course be improved to that extent, and the potato market outlook just now is one of decided fh terest to the growers of this state. On. the whole the prospect now is for a comparatively easy market, at least at the opening of the crop-moving season. In the Stockton and oth er California potato-growering district where immense crops are harvested every year and where the acreage in potatoes has been steadily increasing in recent years, conditions are under stood to be generally favorable. For the State of Oregon as a whole the situation is the same, everything now indicating one of the biggest potato crops ever harvested in this state. From a number of other states come similarly favorable reports, so that the outlook in the Western States at least is for a potato output materially greater than that of 1911. In this state there is yet time for ad verse developments, for the late plantings are not yet far enough along to make a full yield a certainty, but the rains that have fallen this month have given the vines in fields west of the Cascades the best kind of a start and east of the mountains also weath er conditions to date have on the whole been fav.orable. The early crop in this state .which is now be ing gathered, is a large one and gen erally shows excellent quality To the trade new potatoes now are selling at prices around $1 a hundred Prevailing Oregon City prices are as follows: DRIED FRUITS (Buying), Prunes on basis 6 to 8 cents.

According to dispatches published there today, Hen ri Fabre, French poet and scientist, whom Victor Hugo described as "The Insect's Homer," is dying of hunger in Provence, neglected and well-nigh forgotten by his beloved France. Fa bre is 88 years old. Darwin called Fabre "One of the greatest of the world's chosen men." The Frenchman devoted his life to the study of insects and their habits, but ne was not a scientist alone, for he had the soul of a poet. He spent weeks, months and years in minutely observing the habits of insects. The results of these observations he com bined, not in mere textbooks, but in prose of majestic simplicity, which reads like a poem of nature.

Schmitz and his chief counsel in the graft prosecution, Attorney Frank C. Drew, have collab orated on an opera of '49 life, entitled "The Lily of Poverty Flat,"" which they hope to produce next year. Drew who is a millionaire and able to finan ce the production, is the author of the book, while Schmitz, who led a theat er orchestra before becoming Mayor, has written the music. The opera is light on the plot, but avoids farce and ragtime. Among Drew's lyrics, one bears the title of "The Lure of Gold" and anoth er "My Heart Can . Ne'er Forget" in speaking of the inception of, the opera Schmitz said today: "During the latter part of my trou bles in the courts, I sought solace and support in my music. I had long thought there should be a purely Cali fronian opera, and I then approached the work I have now nearly completed Meantime, about three months ago, i told Drew of my need of a plot 'That's the easiest thing in the world,' he said. The next day he presented me with the scenario of -The Lily of Pov erty Flat.' " County Court District No. 13 Kerr & Schwartz 942.50 Wilson & Cooke .25 C. Swanson 12.00 E. N. Berroth : 12.00 Geo.
