THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY. MAY 21, 1913 OREGON NEWS NOTES OF GENERAUNTEREST Events Occurring Throughout the State During the Past Week. Slnnott Demands Fret Clothing. Washington. Representative Sin nott ha pored over the statistics of the wool Industry and has analyied the turlff testimony on the same sub ject until he has become pretty well aroused on the subject of the Injustice which he believes Is being done to the wool growers. On May ( he In troduced an amendment to the bill putting woolen manufactures on the free list, and In support of It he spoke In part as follows: "Mr. Chairman, this bill alms to put the iniquities of schedule K almost wholly upon the wool raiser. Gentle men suid, the other day, that there was Invested In woolen manufactures $415, 000,000. In sheep raising of this na tion the census shows an Investment or $518,000,000. One Is as much de serving as Uie other. Inquiry as to the cost of sheep raising in Oregon, based on 229,000 sheep, and with wool selling at 14 cents a pound, shows the profit on those sheep would be about 50,000. If the price drops 4 cents a pound, the loss on those sheep will be J 15.000. Hut there are 2,000,000 sheep In my district alone." GRANGE BACKS PLAN State Organization Indorses Bill for System of Choice Voting. Albany. Initial steps toward sub mitting a bill through the initiative to establish the preferential voting system, including first, second and third choices, for United States sena tors and state officers, were taken In the 40th annual session of the Oregon state Grange. The legislature was condemned also In a resolution that was passed. This resolution upbraids the legislature for passing meat-nres that have been re jected by the people through the Ini tiative or referendum. The resolution recommending that the state furnish uniforms for public school children and that the school districts furnish free lunches at noon was defeated. The committee to which It was referred recommended that It do not pass and the committee report was adopted without extended discussion. That mortgages on farm property be exempted from taxation provided the rate of interest Is 6 per cent or less was the gist of a resolution which was adopted. If the terms of this resolution are enacted into law it will have the effect of making 6 per cent the maximum rate of interest in this state on loans on farm mortgages Cornering Wheat on Pacific Coast. Portland. Not more than 600,000 bushels of wheat remain unsold In farmers' hands In territory tributary to Portland. Some dealers estimate from their warehouse figures, that the supply does not exceed 260,000 bush els. This is, for all practical purposes a clean up of northwest stocks. Never before In the history of the trade, has the supply been reduced to such small proportions at this time of year. This condition Is the result of ex tensive but quiet buying that has been going on In eastern Oregon and east ern Washington in the last few days, Kstimates of the amount purchased in this period range from 750,000 o 1,000.000 bushels. Almost all the buy ing was done by Portland speculators, LANE PLEADS FOR OREGON Senator Makes Impression on Secre tary of Interior. Washington. Senator Lane, of Ore gon, appeared before Secretary of the Interior Lane and put In a bid for the allotment of money from the reclama tion fund sufficient for the construc tion of the West Umatilla and Des chutes Irrigation projects. He not only demonstrated the equity of Ore gon's claim against the reclamation fund, but pointed out the feasibility and desirability of both projects, and then showed Secretary Lane where funds could be found ample to build these two projects. As Senator I.nne concluded his state ment he was congratulated by Secre tary Lane, who told him his was the "most encouraging talk" be had heard In the course of the hearings covering the past two weeks.

Smoot, United States Senator fom Utah, who will play a prominent part In the tariff fight In the Senate. TIMBERMAN UNMOVED Lumber Tariff Removal No Cause for Worry, Says Weyerhaeuser. Spokane, Wash. In an Interview at Sand 1'oiut, Idaho, Charles A. Weyer haeuser, member of the world's great est family of lumbermen, declared that the removal of tariff on lumber would have little or no effect on the industry in the United States. "I can see no reason why the lum bcrmen of the United States cannot easily adjuBt themselves to the remov al of tariff without any apparent ef fort," stated Mr. Weyerhaeuser. "The tariff, as it stands, Is so low that the removal will not seriously affect the Industry. We are not worrying." Borah May Be President. New York. Harper's Weekly makes the following editorial forecast: "We predict that the next republican candidate for president of the United States will be William E. Borah of Idaho." More than a year before Woodrow Wilson's nomination Harper's made a similar prediction, which fact is re ferred to editorially by the New York Sun. Australian Beef Cuts Living Cost. San Francisco. A nation-wide fight on the beef trust through the impor tation of Australian beef, which has lowered the price of meats here from 20 to 25 per cent, is bellevqd a cer tainty. The first big shipment from the south seas, 200 tons, which arrived here, immediately found Its way into nearly 200 butchershops. The foreign beef has met the requirements of the United State Inspection laws and Is in great demand by San Francisco housewives. STUDENT ARMY GAMPS PLANNED San Francisco. Details have Just been made public here of the plan of the secretary of war to hold two ex perimental military camps of Instruc tion for students of educational Insti tutions during the summer vacation period, coupled with the announce ment that if they prove a success they will be held uunually, one In each of the four sections of the country. The announced object of these camps Is, primarily, to Increase the present inadequate personnel of the trained military reserve of the United States by a class of men from whom, In time of national emergency, a large proportion of the commissioned offi cers will be drawn, and on whose mili tary Judgment at such a time the lives of many other men will In a measure depend. The object sought Is not In any way one of military aggrandizement. 1 Cuban Makes Flight Across Strait. Havana. Domingo Roslllo, the Cu ban aviator, made the first flight ever accomplished by a Cuban airman across the Florida Straits from shore to shore. He started from Key West, making the passage to Havana of 90 miles in 2 hours and 25 minutes. THE MARKETS. Portland. Wheat Club, 90c; bluestem, 98c; red Russian, 87c. Hay Timothy, $16; alfalfa. $1J.

Tension over the Ja pnnese situation continues to excite attention In official and diplomatic quarters. The Impression Is beginning to gain ground here that Governor Johnson will avail himself of the full 30 days allowed to sign the bill, even though he has declared his purpose to approve the Webb bill. Secretary Bryan has not communi cated with the governor since the re ceipt of hi telegraphic message set ting out his reasons for upholding the action of the legislature, but Is simply waiting for the final act of signature before making reply to the Japanese note protesting against the legislation. It has been suggested that, although there may be some preliminary ex changes before the event, the Japan ese government can find no technical reason for demanding relief before the commission of some action under the terms of the Webb law to the detriment of a Japanese subject. It is generally accepted that one of the primary points of protest by Japan Is that the California law Is in con travention of the treaty of 1911, but exactly wherein has not thus far been disclosed. Governor Johnson's last communication to the federal authori ties analyzed the treaty and the law to the end of showing that the latest enactment is in no way a contraven tion of the treaty. The first and most fundamental Issue, therefore, apears to be over this question of whether the law Is, or Is, not, contrary to the treaty.
