Protest Against Marshal's Reap pointment "Will Go to President "W&at Ide's Friends Sar. SPOKANE, "Wash.. Nov. 2L The Fed erated Trades' Council, of Spokane, rep resenting all the labor -unions In the city, has adopted a resolution addressed to President P.oosevelt, protesting against the reappointment of United States Mar shal Clarence "W. Ide. Prominent labor union men declare that Ide was unduly officious and arbitrary in serving and en forcing the injunctions issued by Judge Hanford against the Nortbport strikers last Summer. Friends of Ide say that the resolution of the trades council was passed as the result of political Jobbery engineered by Arthur J. Shaw, a well-known local poli tician, who is supporting Charles B. Hop kins for Ide's place. They allege, more over, that not one-half the members of the trades council knew of the intended action, or understood the purpose of the resolution at the time it was Introduced and passed. HARTSON'S SOURCE OF SUPPORT. Representative Jones Is Booming Him for Postmaster of Spolcanc. It appears that M. T. Hartson has the influential -backing of Representative Jones for the Spokane postmastershlp. The rule has been in the "Washington del egation. In postoffice appointments, that Repreaentatlves should make nominations, and Cushman and Jones are agreed be tween themselves that neither shall In terfere with the other's selection in the Btate. But in this case Senator Foster has been Importuned by the friends of the various candidates to take some interest In the Spokane postmastershlp, and this and the United States ilarshalship are the principal matters to be discussed by the delegation. The following typewritten question was submitted to Mr. Hartson by the Spokane Spokesman-Review: Mr. Hartson, the Washington correspondent of The Portland Oregonlan reports that If you should be appointed postmaster the selection will be made apparently as the result of "Wilson Influence. If appointed postmaster will you oppose or will you support the political ambitions of "Wilson? Mr. Hartson was informed that a cate gorical answer was desired to the ques tion. Ho complained that the question was not a fair one. He requested that ho be given tlmo to answer the question. One hour and a half later the reporter return ed to Mr. Hartson's office and was given the following written answer to the In terrogatory: If tendered this position I -would recognize the Influence of Mr. Jones as paramount In se curing it, and I should naturally and in honor bound be loyal to his best interest. The SpokeBman-Revlow tells the story of the break between ex-Senator "Wilson and Postmaster Temple as follows: The final break came when Mr. Temple re fused to appoint Joe S. Wlllson as his finan cial clerk, an emploje entrusted -with vast sUms of public money. Joe S. "Wlllson had been discharged from the post of Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, before the expiration of his term. As a re sult of an examination of Deputy "Wlllson's office. Collector Dunne, of Portland, notified Senator Foster that Wlllson must leave the service. Senator Foster failing, to take im mediate action toward nominating his suc cessor. Collector Dunne notified him that unless he at once named a suitable man for the placo'he would himself fill the place. Then Senator Foster recommended E. B. Hde, ofi this city. Bx-Senator Wilson then demanded that Joe S. Wlllson be taken care of by Post master Temple. Mr. Temple flatly refused to make the appointment. To appoint him," he said to Mr. Wilson, would be to affront and Insult both Senator Foster and the Postal Department. I can not appoint men to positions of responsibility here tfrho haie been discharged from othor Government positions." Then It was that Mr. Wilson made, his fa mous threat to hae Mr. Temple himself ousted. "I hae never been able," he said, 'to get a d d thing out of this office since jou have been here, and I propose to got a postmaster in -Spokane -who "will respect my wishes " Senator Wilson was exceedingly angry when Collector Dunne removed Wlllson from the Internal revenue office, although that removal was made after consultation with Senator Foster. Falling to make an Impression on Mr. Dunne, however, he then turned to Mr." Temple, and insisted that Wlllson bo taken care of here. These tacts will be Included In tho showing which the friends of Mr. Temple will make to the Republican Congressional delegation. ' CHARGED "WITH FORGERY. Expert Accountant Clnrk Bronght From Salem to Vancouver. VANCOUVER, "Wash., Nov. 21. On a warrant sworn out by County Auditor W. H. Brewster, of Clafk County, G. P. Clark was arrested at Salem today for forgery and was brought to Vancouver to night by Sheriff Marsh and placed in the county jail to await examination. Clark Is one of the -expert accountants employed ly the County Commissioners last Au gust to export the books of the county officers, and when arrested was engaged In a similar -capacity In Marlon County, Oregon. Clark is accused of forging the " name of Mrs. O. N. Denny, of Portland, Or., to an order directing Auditor Brew ster to pay a Clark County warrant for J5Q to him, which he (Clark) obtained and cashed. The warrant was an old one, having been drawn in favor of tho late Judge O. N. Denny several years ago, and had been placed In the list marked un claimed. Clark obtained knowledge of the warrant in his capacity of expert. The order, with Mrs. Denny's signature, was presented during Auditor Brewster's temporary absence In October. The in cident aroused Mr. Brewster's suspicions, and a detective was set to work on the case, with the result that Mrs. Denny ap peared here Tuesday with her attorney and asked for the warrant, at the same time declaring the order presented by Clark a forgery. Clark will probably have his preliminary hearing tomorrow. TIE VOTE ON BOTH QUESTIONS. Forfeiture o&Saloon Licenses llefore the Wnjla Walla Council. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Nov. 21.

V But forthfe Excessive Duties Orc- Bo'rt' Would Have a Good Mar- lf?t for Many Prodncfu. SALEMNov. 21. Mrs. W. P. Lord, wife of Oregon's ex-Govarnor, left Salem laBt night for San Francisco, where she will remain with her son, Montague, until af ter tho holidays, when she expects to re turn to Buenos Ayres, where i ex-Governor Lord is stationed as Minister Plen ipotentiary from this country. Mrs. Lord left Argentina last April, and has spent the Summer largely In the Wil lamette Valley. Mrs. Lord Is naturally a close observer, and is well versed In" the resources and industries of Argentina, As is well known, that land Is one of tne world's greatest wheat sectlqns, but Mrs. Lord .says the Industry Is in its Infancy. Speaking on this point she said: "Wheatralslng in Argentina is carried on in much the same manner as it is in this country, except the fields are much larger. For a farmer to have 5000 acres of wheat is not considered unusual. In relation to lands, the term league Is al most entirety used Instead of acre, one sws fcVJ&Sw "& "ra &&&?& -y$,& ,J& i,VK' v Mrs. W. P. Lord. leaguo being equivalent to three square miles, or 1920 acres. I know of a single wheat field that required thrco hours' time for a railroad train to pass one Sjde of It. The land is very level, and exceptionally fertile. "The climate is mild and. similar to that of Northern California. The seasons c the reverse of those in this country. July Is our mid-Winter month, corre sponding with January pr February n Oregon. The Christmaa .season comeg In the warmest month of th"e year. Wc dq ntft have what may be called a rainy se i son, but the rainfall during the Winter months exceeds that o the Summer sea son. "The mode of cultivating the soil, pre paratory to grain production, is quite sim-. liar to that employed In the United States, but Is not so far advanced. Most of thq large farms, however, arc well equipped with all kindi of agrlculthral machinery. Good farming lands may be had for $1 50 to $20 per acre. Railroads are being ex tended Into all sections of the country for tho sole purpose of handling the wheat crop. Farm Labor Is Cheap. "Farm labor Is cheap. This class of work Is done almost entirely by peons, who work willingly for $7 to $9 per month. The peon is a mixture of the Indian and early Spanish. He is lighter than an In dian and darker than the Spanish. Farm hands are furnished their board on the Jarge ranches. Their diet consists en tirely of hardtack and meats, there being no vegetables raised in Argentina. In place of vegetables, the entire populace drinks a preparation called 'mate yorba, mado from an aromatic shrub. The peo ple are temperate and do not use liquor to excess. 'Mate yerba' Is now being In troduced Into tho United States as a mild drink and a tonic. "Cheap labor adds to the profits In wheatralslng. Italy and Russia, to which countries Argentina largely ex ports her wheat crop, annually send to the South American country colonies of their cheapest labor to assist during the har vesting season. Harvesting of the grain is accomplished in the same manner as In this country, from which Argentina Is making a largd importation of agricultu ral machinery. "The aerage "yield of wheat per acre Is 15 to 20 bushels. This apparently light yield Is explained by the fact that the acreage being so enormous, the land Is not as heavily sowed and, the yield is nat urally lighter. The quality of the wheat Is fine and makes excellent flour. The wheat market of Argentina Is controlled entirely by tho European market. The Balcer Little Trust. "In Buenos Ayres no one makes bread for their own use. The bakers are pro tected by tho government to the extent that flour costs four times as much os does the baked article. "For many years the wheat industry of Argentina suffered extensive damage from the locusts, which would appeaf In dount less numbers and entirely destroy all crops and vegetation in a single day. The government has expended large sums of money for the protection of the wheat grower, and since the pest has not put In an appearance in the past three years it Is believed it has been exterminated. "Wheat raising in Argentina," continued Mrs. Lord, "is in Its infancy. Within the last 20 years that country was importing wheat for its own use. In 1900 It exported to the European market 40,000,000 bushels. "There Is a vast acreage In the best agricultural section of Argentina that Is adapted to whteatra!slng that has not yet been placed nnajr grain cultivation, being reserved fof fruit and garden tracts, and for grazing purposes". "Cattle-growing in Argentina is a twin Industry to the growing of wheat, and Is equally profitable. Climate conditions are most favorable, and there Is grazing tbe entire year. Large exportation of beef are made Jn Europe every year. I must admit that lt was in Argentina that I aaw the ilncstcattle that I ever saw. Alfalfa-, & now almost exclusively nsed for feeding purposes, and,' asi,an illustra tion of the fertility of theoU, six to elgh crops of tblri feed afq cut from a field per year, and tho crop requires re newing but once in two years. I. received Lan Invitation shortly before leaving for uregon to visit, tne esiancm ot an ac quaintance In Uruguay, but was unable to go. This estanclero (rancher) has been In the cattle busfriess but nine years and has 100,000 head of beef, iO.OOO sheep, and 5000 acres of -tfheat, and he considers that he Is Just starting in the business. This gives an idea of the extensive cattle busi ness that is carried on In that section of Sou thr America. "The wool we have 'is pot of the best grade. It is used principally for cHrpet weavmg. Such material In the United States is obtained from England, there be ing no communication or established trade relations between Argentina and tbe United States. No Prunes Arc Grown. "No prunes are grown in Argentina, al though some few' experiments are being made in some sections, but the success resulting therefrom has not been surfi elent to affect the market. I purchased some ip the market for 40 cents per pound. An enormous duty is exacted on all im portatlonsytb provide revenue for current vrwnBCK thft rpnnhllo. Argentina has " "" " Tr""w?5r?ri W4Mt-r 4 dfettl of $30,000,000, with but 5,000,000 in- habltants. - '"Coir prunes are Imported entirely from Italy and France. Fruit of all kinds Is very high, "Grapes ana oranges, are our principal fruits, the former selling at-12 centa'per .pound and the latter Celling on tho .street for 20 cents a dozen. Peaches are abundant some seasons, still they sell vfor 30 to 75 cents a dozen. Strawberries retail for 18 t6 25 cents a quart, the sea son continuing for four months. Cher ries retail at 51 per pound, and are poor and scarce. "Argentina would be an Ideal market for Oregon's superior "crop of pruneB, if It was not for the excessive duties. It would also prove a splendid market for the introduction of Oregon's salmon, canned salrdbn retailing for 75 cents a can. The population by a great majority be ing Catholic, tho consumption of fish is enormous. The cost of dried fish Is greater than that of fresh beef." Mrs. Lord says she never witnessed more splendor and luxury than she has seen during her short residence In Buenos Ayres. Many "residences there cover full blocks, and contain 40- rooms, the master having surrounding himself with a retinue of 15 or 20 servants. The people dress In gorgeous costumes. Mrs. Lord says Buenos Ayres is a fine place of , residence, and people ate very friendly. While she had beeri extended eVery courtesy, she Intimated, that above all there vfas no place like "dear ojd Oregon." Mrs. Lord can welt be called the mother of the flax Industry of the Willamette Valley. She 4s etjlp Interested in the sub ject, and is laboring with commendable diligence to this end that .the growing of flax, may be renewed and followed on an enlarged spale. In this state. It is under fltood.iShe'had interested influential people in the- matter and wllLfflcelve subst&htla). financial assistance. Business concerning the. iiafe Industry la the prime object of -Mrs. Lord's visit to California at this time. .4NSANES MAN AGAIN ESCAPES. Hfe Go AVFjsjyFrom One.

Kirk, one of the heaviest wheat farmers of Umatilla County, -statod here today that he had been unablo to bow all of his Fall wheat, for the reason that the ground has been too dry. Ho has sown part of his 1D02 crop, and is awaiting more rain beforo going over any of the land. Some wheat sown is rotting in the ground, but he does not anticipate any great loss. With normal condi tions next Spring, the crop will come out all right, Shipments of grain continue to be heavy. Stock shipments are also heavy. BAITER CLEAR-UP OF VIRTUE. 81T,000 TaUtn From the Mill at the End" of a Week's Rnn. BAKER CITY, Nov. 21 Manager Buck bee, of the Virtue mine, brought in the week's clean-up of the mill yesterday, which amounted to something over $17,000, the largest amount ever realized from a week's run of the mill. One brick contained $13,000 In gold, that was valued at $19 per ounce", which is more than the bullion from this mine usually goes. This is taken to mean that tho mlno is growing richer as the vein is followed to the depths. A large force of men is employed at the Virtuo and the intention is to increase the number ot miners Just as fast as the work of de velopment will permit. Much Land Located for Oil. L. W. Burtch, ono of tho United States deputy mineral surveyors, who has been devoting considerable time to the Malheur County oil lands, reports that, In his opin ion, at least 30,000 acres of land has already been staked by prospectors and others who are anxious to become owners of 611 wells.
