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

stance, as in others where meet
ings'' have heen held to discuss
phases of fruitgrowing, after a gen

continued to pursue whatever
methods appeared to them individ

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 attendance
Is greater than at auy former festival
and the parades are outdoing any
thing previously attempted. Husl
tiPss cares- are generally being rele
gated during the week. 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. This is almost unbeliev
able to people not familiar with the
Pacltic coast, where big trees and
vast timber resources are accepted
quite as a matter of course.
New through Northern Pacific ser
vice between Portland and Chicago
has been established via the North
Dank road, the new train having a
JULY FIRST
running time of 72 hours, the same
as the North Coast Limited. A re
adjustment of the time schedules on
the Northern TacHle line bi t ween
Portland nnd Seattle, allowing for
the joint use of a part of the track
by the Oregon & Washington, the
new Harrltnan line, will Is; made
within a few days.
The (). K. & N. Co. will run n farm
ing demonstration train through
Southeastern Washington, starting
from Colfax June 1'0, and ending the
trip at Pomeroy on June IT). During
the Journey IKi stops of about two
hours each will le made. Professors
from the staff of the State College at
Pullman will accompany the train
and deliver lectures on Improved
farming methods. Hesldents of the
sections of Washington to be visited
are much Interested in the coining
trip.
1'ncertalnty surrounding the future
of the annual fair and livestock show
on the Country Club grounds near
the city w as dispelled during the week
when stockholders decided to con
tinue the operation. The usual ex
position will be held this fall. The
Portland Fair & Livestock Associa
tion Iras not yet Ix-come a money
maker and some doubted that the
annual show and racing meet would
be continued. A special meeting of
stockholders wns held to consider
this question and It was decided to
not allow the project to lapse. Illg
plans are Ising made for the comlnir
show this fall, and It Is the Intention
or those IH-Iiinij the nfralr to make It
as big an attraction for that season
of the year as the Kose Festival Is In
me spring, it will certain v Is; a.
great Is-netlt for the whole North
west to have the llvestwk show con
tlnued annually.
