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.
Land to Be Recovered by State.
Salem. Suit to recover about 30,000
ncres of lien land, alleged to have been

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.

JAPANESE SITUATION
CONTINUES TENSE
,
Governor Johnson Believed In
tends Taking 20 Days Al
lowed for Signature.
Washington. 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.
UNDERWOOD
The first baseball game of the sea
son was played Sunday, May 11, be
tween the Underwood and Husum
teams. The Underwood team defeat
ed Husum by a score of 10 to 9.

Katherine, were Hood River visitors

Wm. Sheehy and J. A. Haran were
home last week looking over their
orchard tract.

at the convocation of the Episcopal
churches of Eastern Oregon being
held at Hood River tills week.
Those who went from here to White
Salmon Friday, May 16, to hear the
lecture given by Professor Shaw on
agricultural development were very
much impressed.
A. B. BROOKE BUYS RANCH
Secures 10-Acre Orchard from C. A.
Tucker of Willow Flat
Alexander B. Brooke of Cherryville,
Ore., has bought the 10-acre apple
orchard of Charles A. Tucker on Wil
low Flat. All of the place Is In three-year-old
trees. The Tucker property
is located a mile from Mr. Brooke's 17
acre ranch near Summit station. With
he new purchase he has a total of
16 acres in trees. He will move here
from Cherryville and take active
charge of the two places.
POTATO YIELDS 660 POUNDS
An Oregon lad beat record made in
England in raising the greatest num
tier of potatoes from a single tuber.
An Engrrsh boy raised 220 pounds
from 11 potatoes and the English pa
pers saw something in that to crow
about. An Albany boy winning the
state contest among school children
grew 60 pounds from one potato by
transplanting sprouts from the origi
nal, 'Allien had 13 eyes.
FATTEN HOGS ON POTATOES
Klamath fanners are fattening hogs
on their surplus potato crops. Ten
carloads of hogs have been shipped
Into that district from Sacramento
and if tho potatoes jn hand can be
utilized profitably in this way, other
large shipments will be made.
BACK TO PRUNES

shown in tho prune industry within
the past two years in the state. The
department of horticulture at O.
A. C. has recently completed a prune
survey In which some 700 orchards
In 9 different counties of the state
were visited. From tho data btalned
a (-ptvlal set of lectures was given at
