ING or
TO EUGENE PLANNED
WThat is, viewed as the most import
ant project yet planned for the im
provement of navigation conditions
on the upper Willamette River and
for enlargement of commerce on that
stream is a step taken by Mayor Mc-
Indoe, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A.,
in letters forwarded to steamboat in
terests, commercial clubs and busi
ness men of the Willamette Valley
asking for their views as to the prob
able increase in commerce if Congress
decided to install a system of dams
and locks that will open the stream
from Portland to Eugene, 160 miles.
Major Mclndoe has inaugurated the
preliminaries pursuant to the provi
sions of an act passed by Congress
and approved June 25, 1912, provid-
fig for an examjiation of H'.e rer
from Oregon City to Corvallis 115
miles, and from the latter point to
Eugene, with a view of providing a
six-foot channel for the entire dis
tance. While the improvement con
sidered is for locks, and dams, it is
asked that propositions be submitted
for co-operation on the fbrt of the
people of the Valley.
Frock of Gingham with Linen Trim
ming A stylish development of the tub
frock is often a source of much puz
zled thought, fof into this must go
no undue elaboration, both for reason
of good taste and practicability. The
design in the drawing is peculiarly
suitable for this purpose, as both
blouse and skirt may be opened and
ironed flat. The material used was
a simple little check gingham of blue
and brown with lightly embroidered
colar of natural colored linen edged
with a narrow frill of ecru lace. This
closes surplice style with a close set
row of pearl buttons. The skirt clos
es to the left in slightly irregular line,
folding over a little inset of linen on
the hip and buttoning with the pearl
buttons.
Vincent Astor says he Is not thinking
of getting married. Probably can't
afford it.
Women have taken to wearing men's
socks. What next?
Directors Should Direct.
There are some things they do bet
ter abroad. For example. In England
directors of a corporation are held
rigidly responsible for the actions of
that corporation. A short time ago an
English insurance company declared
a dividend and a bonus on its stock,
and on the strength of the action a
man bought some of the company's
shares. The fact became known later
that the dividend had not been earned
and that the directors had been de
ceived by their executive officer. Suit
was brought by a purchaser of the
stock to recover damans from the di
rectors, owing to the false statements
of earnings published. It was proved
that some of the directors were de
celved and bought stock after the
declaration of the dividend. They
were men of unquestioned uonestj
and of high standing. The English
jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
holding the directors liable for his loss
even though they proved that they
were themselves deceived and did not
know the fsicts.
This may seem an extreme decision,
but that it is just and necessary will
appear upon slight reflection. Some
body must be responsible for the acta
of a corporation, and who if not the
directors? They fhoose the officials
and are thus responsible for the deeds
of the officials. It is idle for them to
plead lack of knowledge of what their
creatures do. for it is their duty to
know.
Sooner or later we must meet this
question in America. The dummy di
rectors must go. We must know
where to put our fingers on those re
sponsible for the misdeeds of corpo
rations. To fine the corporation itself
places the burden on the stockholders
and eventually upon the public, where
it does not belong. Guilt is personal,
and the penalty should be paid per
sonally by those in charge. There
must be responsible management.
Directors should direct and should
be held accountable.
The national committees are prepar
ing to send" out phonograph records of
the speeches of 'candidates, accompa
nied by moving pictures of the candi
dates In action. Is this to be n canned
campaign?

HOP CROP DIGGER -
THAN EXPECTED
The hop crop of Oregon will be
greater than anticipated. Yields ev
erywhere are greater than ever be
fore known. In Washington County
yards that went 1400 to 1500 pounds
to the acre last season are this year
going from 2000 to 2400 pounds. A
similar condition is shown in the In
dependence section.
Even in the Woodhurn and Silver-
ton districts, where the crop was hurt
more than in other sections, the yields
are heavier than expected.
Dealers who have returned from
the country say that fully half of the
crop will be choice quality this sea
son. The sprinkling of mold is show
ing in most sections but the damage
is far less than expected.
Sales of early Fuggles are reported
at ISc a pound. The Hammett lot of
100 bales at Eugene went at this fig
ure. Last year Hammett's crop was
55 bales. Early in the season dealers
estimated this year's crop at 75 bales.
but it went 25 per cent better than
this.
Several small transactions in the
Woodburn section are reported at
17 l-2c to 18c a pound. Whitman &

Two Little Birds Stowaways.
I was riding along the shore of Great
Bear lake In Utah one afternoon and.
coming suddenly over a rise of ground,
surprised a grebe In the edge of the
tules. She swam into the lake, turn
ing and calling repeatedly. Then two
little grebes appeared and, swimming
low with only their heads and backs
visible, hurried after their mother. As
they overtook her each one reached
out and catching the feathers of her
back in their beaks they drew them
selves alongside and quickly huddled
under her wing, completely hidden.
Had I not been a spectator of the act
I should never have suspected her of
carrying two little "stowaways" as she
hurried off. J. Alden Loring In Outing.

One day during the South African
war an orderly delivered a message in
somewhat free and easy language from
Lord Kitchener to General Smith
Dorrien. "Tell Lord Kitchener I shall
be ready to move in two hours." re

CORRUPT, SAYS T. R.
(Continued from page 1)
as as he sailed into the would-be
wreckers of the Oregon system
Upon arrival at the Oregon Hotel
the Colonel was greeted with one
brief cheer before he plunged inside
Roses were thrown in his pathway as
he swept by the entrance, and he was
immediately conducted to his rooms
on the second floor. In a few minutes
he came down for breakfast where he
sat at table with Dr. Coe, F. W. Mul
key, George Arthur Brown, George W.
Joseph, C. W. Ackerson and George
Emlen Roosevelt, the last named his
nephew.
Returning to his room Rooesvelt
met several callers and then sat down
to write a few letters. He denied all
callers from that time until after 11
o'clock, when .a general reception
was held. A conference with the state
committee had been scheduled but
outsiders pressed in and the confer
ence failed. For abouf 15 minutes
the Colonel shook hands as 200 peo
ple passed by in line. Many of these
were women.
"Here, doctor, this gentleman is a
Confederate veteran" the Colonel ex
claimed to Dr. Coe as an ex-soldier
passed by.
"I am feeling fine," he would say
to those who inquired as to his health.
One caller who received special at
tention! was a seven year old lad
whpse father was in the Colonel's
regiment of Rough Riders. "I did not
come much in contact with your fath
er until toward the last," he said,
"and then I learned he was one of
my best soldiers.
To Dr. Levi W. Myers, who told
the Colonel Of his connection with
the Republican party at its foundation
Colonel Roosevelt expressed espec
ial appreciation.
"It is the same spirit now," said
the Colonel. "The same impulses are
back of the Progressive party as in
spired the Republican party then."
John Barton of 121 East Sixteenth
Street, presented Roosevelt with a
"big stick," in the form of a cane cut
from a cherry tree.
Colonel Roosevelt went from his
room into the hall to greet Mrs. Abi
gail Scott TJuniway, veteran suffrage
leader, who was brought to the sec
ond floor in an invalid's chair. The
doorway would not admit the chair,
and the Colonel, when told she was
outside, promptly went to her side.
After the reception the Colonel a
gain retired to his room and no call
ers were admitted. He declined to
see the newspaper men as he was not
giving interviews on his tour. j
Guarding the doors and watching j
out for the personal safety of the Col-1
onel were Steve Connell of the secret I
service branch, and "Dad" Hunter, of
Sheriff Steven s force. Connell was
bodyguard for Roosevelt several years
while he was president.
Colonel Cecil Lyon of Texas, who
was thrown out as national commit
teeman from that state by the Taft
men at the( national convenion and
"came back" in the new party,-is as
sisting in looking after the Colonel's i
wishes as to the program each day. j

prospects of Roosevelt. y . 1
