The Woman's League The Rural Ntw Yorker, a farm paper of doubtful value which is not in sympathy with the Ameri can Woman's League, has pub lished an article decrying the movement. It is ea.-y to explain the cause of this. A number of other papers that are in competi tion with the Rural New Yorker have endorsed the League, there fore the New Yorker is against it. The salient point in regard to the League and the public i that if the movement should prove a fail ure the public has nothing to lose. The public secures the magazines for which it subscribes at the reg ular subscription price. The pub lishers give half of the amount re ceived for subscriptions through the League to the support f the movemont. Therefore, if t he move ment should not prove successful the publisher and not the public will have to foot the bill. There is not, however, any indi cation that the movement will not prove successful, and abundant proof that it should. The News has interested itself in the League because it believes that if the required number of members can be obtained here it will be doing the city and people at large a public good and for the further reason that there are interested in it a good many public spirited men and women who deserve en couragement in endeavoring to provide the city with public bene fits. In opposition to the prejudiced view of the antiquated Rural New Yorker the League has the sup port of Success Magazine and many other of the best periodicals in the United States, who would not countenance anythiug that was not honest in principle. Suc cess, before endorsing the project, lent a representative to St. Louis to investigate it. On his return to New York it published an ar ticle supporting E. G. Lewis, the founder of the League, and its workings. The integrity of Suc cess Magazine is too well known to need comment. In concluding the article it remarks: "In our Investigations at L'nlversl ty City we were greatly Impressed not only with the largeness o t the plan, and the breudth of view shown la the creation of this great business anil educational structure, 1 mi t also with the close attention to detail and the care taken to make each de partment of the university work as nearly self-supporting as possible Mr. Lewis has gathered around him a most remarkable group of men and women, devoted, loyal, enthusi astic, happy In their work and In the possibilities of the future, ami certain that University City Is to become one of the art centers of the country. "We have spoken strongly on this subject In the foregoing remarks too strongly, some will think and the question will be asked: " 'Why should Success Maga.iue speak so unreservedly In commenda tion of Mr. Ie wis anil the American Woman's league?' "Our answer Is this: "We believe that there has rarely len seen In this country so deter mined, so persistent, so thoroughly gallant a fight against Injustice ami oppression as has been made by Kd ward Gardner Lew Is during the past three years. "Standing one day In the highest credit as a merchant and business man, prominent In the community, respected and loved by all with whom be came In contact, the next day found him attacked by tlie I"ul ted States government, surrounded by a cloud of suspicion and placed In a position where Immediate business failure seemed Inevitable. Any ordi nary man would have succumbed under the terrific attacks made upon ldm. Instead of this, Mr, I-wls cheerfully assumed enormous obliga tion, created new lines of defense and offense, uud fought his way steadily through his dlfllcultles. Ik stands today almost square with the world, und with every vestige of suspicion as to the Intrinsic honesty and soundness of hlsearly enterprises removed by the utter collapse of the government's case against hliu. "We are profoundly ashamed that Mr. K. (. Uw Is should have had so little help In the upbuilding of his fortunes from those In he publishing business who should have been his cordial supporters; and so far as we are able to do so, we shall lHr tes timony tothe brilliancy, the origi nality, and the fertility of resource of his business plans, as they are ex pressed In the American Woman's league and the People's I'nlverslty, ami to state our profound convic tion that they ought to le successful and will tie so If the women of Amer ica realize the great opportunities now within their reach. Getting at The Facts The fruit growers' meeting held Saturday to discuss the injury to apples from spray and sunburn resulted in some valuable informa tion becoming known, but as usual w hen so many conflicting opinions are given.it was ineffective in defi nite results. A further investiga tion by Prof. Cordley will probably result in additional light being shed on the question. It will not, however, be possible for him to get the definite conclusions from the conflicting testimony of growers that it would if a committee or board of inquiry, of say five, whose experience in the orchard business fitted them for the task of making a report on the condttions of the various orchards. The matter in this way could have been readied much more quickly, the report have been more complete and more time allowed for a discussion that would lead to avoiding fruit The Apple Crops Are Included On Bearing Orchards that we are offering at very reason able prices and liberal terms.

In this in stance, as in others where meet ings'' have heen held to discuss phases of fruitgrowing, after a gen eral discussion, growers have left the meetings unconvinced and continued to pursue whatever methods appeared to them individ ually to he the best, without know ing whether they were right or wronsj.

PORTLAND GOSSIP Portland, Or., June 7 (Special) Portland Is host this week for thous ands of visitors from all parts of the country who are In attendance at the annual Kose Festival. Never le fore did Portland look so handsome, the extensive decorations put up generally about the city being un usually elaborate.

The people of the city are devotlug their atten tion to entertaining out ot town visitors aud are participating In the week's festivities to the fullest extent. As usual, the parades aud the com petlve rose show are the big events, attracting the most attention. Mauy people of the Northwest visit Port land during the Kose Festival If at no other time during the year ami to these, the tremendous growth of the city during the past year Is more Im pressive even than the Festival page ants. The city's progress, merely re flects the general prosperity of the whole Pacific Northwest and Is in creasing In population and wealth because the same Is true of the tribu tary country. An Oregon shingle mill In Tilla mook county worked 33 days on one mammoth cedar log, cutting 141, (KM) shingles.
