THE MORNING (XREGQNIAN, THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 19031 7 GIVES IN WILI, MODIFY HIS PROTECTION IDEAS TO SUIT BALFOUR. Ittae Book Is Issued Shoivins the Decline In Brltlnh .Exports and. the Effect of Dingier Tariff. LONDON. Sept 16. On the heels of Pre mier Balfour's academic expression of his personal views of the fiscal problem, con tained in the pamphlet on "Insular Free Trade," advance sheets of which "were Issued last night, came the long promised and much demanded government statistics dealing with that subject. They were issued today by the Board of Trade, in the ehape of a blue book of nearly 500 pages of bewildering tables of figures, showing the various aspects of British and foreign trade, and the industrial conditions. No deductions were drawn, though the publi cation teems with interesting notes upon what are regarded as points of fact. The references to foreign trade -were chiefly confined to France, Germany and the United States. The Pall Mall Gazette says it under stands the Cabinet has concluded the con sideration of its fiscal position and its policy in regard thereto; that no further Cabinet meetings will be held for the present, probably not until late in the Autumn, and that in the meanwhile -the Colonial Secretary, Chamberlain, will pro ceed with his expository programme. The paper adds: "It will probably be found that he has modified his proposals so as to bring them in harmony with Mr. Balfour's views as set forth In the pamphlet. The main feature of Mr. Chamberlain's modifications will be the disappearance of all sugges tions in the direction in the further taxa tion of foodstuffs and raw materials. "Consideration of the war commission's report Is reserved for future meetings of the Cabinet." The Pall Mall Gazette believes it Is still possible that -here will be more than one resignation r -m the Cabinet. One of the most imports 'it phases dealt with In the bjue book Is i's reference to Imports and exports. Tin- tables show that the ex ports from u.e United Kingdom to the United States declined from 1145,000,000 in 1890 to $97,500,000 in 1802, while the imports rose from 5455,000,000 to 5C35.000.000. The to tal exports to all foreign countries de clined in the same period $90,000,000, though when the colonies are Included, the decline only amounts to 55,000.000. The proportion of the United Kingdom's exports, as be tween protected and unprotected coun tries, In the markets of the world, has been reversed since 1850. Then It was 5 per cent to the protected countries and 44 per cent to the others. In 1902 the pro portion was 42 per cent to the protected countries and 5S per cent to the others. A valuable bit of Information is given on the quoted excess of Imports over ex ports which has so often to be held as a sign of British trade decline. The blue book says that while the excess yearly averages about 5S00.000.O00, the Income re ceivable from foreign Investments, calcu lated at $312,500,000, added to the earnings of the British merchant fleet engaged In foreign fleet, calculated at 5450,000,000, "Is probably more than sufficient to account for the average excess of imports." "Americans have made large Invest ments in the United Kingdom of recent years and American repurchases of rail road and other securities are admitted to have to some extent affected the fiscal figures, but 'they are not likely to form a serious factor.' " Much attention is devoted to the tin plate industry and the effect of the Ding ley and McKInley tariffs. The figures Bhow that the total exports of tin from the United Kingdom has declined only little over $5,000,000 since 1897, with a marked in crease in the quantity produced and in the value of a number of mills since 1S9S.

SOCIALISTS FORMING A POLICY. German. Leaders Will Combat MII tarism and a Larger Nuvy. DRESDEN, Sept 16. The Socialist Con gress, after two days' discussion of the literary activities of members of the party, decided at noon today to close the debate and the personal explanations of various writers began. The roll call on a motion that the party's executive com mittee prohibit the members of the party from contributing to the "capitalistic press," resulted In Herren von Vollman, Heinok and 18 others voting against it and 23S for the motion. Herr Bernstein aroused a storm of mockery by refusing to vote. Herr Eebel. Singer and Kautsky formu lated tonight their resolution on the proposed revision of the party programme. The resolution condemns the proposition that the party accept a vice-presidency of the Reichstag and calls on the congress to disassociato Itself from the "endeavors fo replace the well-tried tactics and class conscious warfare of the proletariat against the capitalistic policy of recon ciliation with the existing order of things." The consequence of such a policy, the resolution says, will be to convert social democracy, which Is revolutionary In the best sense of the term, since It alms at the transformation from a capitalist to a socialist state, into a party content with mere reforms of the existing system. The resolution also instructs the Sorlnlist members of the Reichstag to employ their increased power ruthlessly in combating militarism, naval Increases, colonial ex- Danslon and thf n-r?11l "trnrlrt Tinllrv and to farther political freedom and the inierests oi me working classes."

Fruit That 3Iade Oregon Famous Brings Good Prices and Has World-Wide Market. - John D. Olwell, a well-known apple grower of Central Point, Jackson County, has been in the city several days attend ing to private business and Lewis and Clark matters. Mr. Olwell is a member of the lower house of the Legislature, and has charge of the horticultural de partment of the 1905 exposition. He Is a young man and is one of the very fore most figures In the apple industry' In Ore gon. "The apple market Is strong and active just now," said Mr. Olwell last night be fore going to the carnival. "There is a good "market for all the apples Rogue River produces. At -what prices? About 51.50 a box for Jonathans, Newtowns and Spitzenbergs. "I am Informed that Hood River grow ers are selling Spitzenbergs for 52 a box and Newtowns for $1.60. The dlsDarlty between Hood River and Rogue River Is only apparent, however. The Hood River boxes are larger than ours and consequently are quoted higher in the market But the fact is that prices at both places are on the same level. Our boxes are the California size. "Rogue River orchards will export about 150 carloads of apples this season. Our orchards of 160 acres will yield be tween 50 and 55 carloads. Rogue River Is fast bcqomlng one continuous apple orchard. The valley is 25 or SO miles long and six or seven miles wide. Farmers have been setting out 1500 acres of" trees every year for the past several seasons. "Apples are good money makers. T,his fact strongly impresses farmers up our Lway. The result is Just as I have said- apple acreage is growing fast It won't bo long before all parts of Rogue River valley, which are adapted to apple culture, will be supporting orchards. "As I have already said, the fruit is In strong demand. Three buyers from London have been with us, also two from New York and one from Chicago. Do I think prices will advance? I can't say as to that Such speculation is too much of a gamble. But I am quite assured of this, prices will not be lower this year. Our crop we have not yet sold. bergs will begin next month. Just now we are gathering Jonathans. Colorado produces great quantities of Jonathans, but Oregon's ripen three -weeks earlier nnd therefore are not much In competition with Colorado." , The difference between Newtowns and Spitzenbergs, Mr. Olwell explained as coming from the peerless quality of Ore gon Spitzenbergs. These apples have a character all their own and are in a class all by themselves in the world's markets. "They are produced," said Mr. Olwell, "only In Rogue River and Hood River valleys and nowhere elso In the world. Oregon Newtowns are very fine fruit, un excelled anywhere, but the same variety Is grown in California and other places." Mr. Olwell said that Oregon farmers need have no fear of over supplying the world's markets with their apples. De mand, he said, would grow with the out put and he could see no. limit to It "Oregon apples," he remarked, "ave a fine reputation In the world's trade. That reputation has been won by Rogue and Hood Rivers. "Some time ago a commission mer chant of Portland in a newspaper in terview stated that the apple Industry Is on the decline from codlln moth. Now I want to say that that man knew neither the business of growing apples nor the business of selling them. He must have got. his apples somewhere In Willamette Valley where the codlln moth Is allowed complete domination by many farmers. Only shlftlessnes"s gives -way to codlln moth. Up our way we don't tolerate the pest A visitor In this State who has heard the fame of Oregon apples and who sees the pest-ridden trees of the Willamette Valley can't understand how the fine apples are produced. "Growers should not forget to save samples of their fine apples for the St. Louis Exposition next year. I find them prone to neglect this duty. I call It a duty because Oregon should certainly be represented by the very best apples that grow from Its soil. If the fruit is put away in storage this Fall it will be In good shape for exhibit next Spring. Ye3, you'll find that we have put away a good display of apples, the finest on earth, worthy In every respect of the name and fame of Oregon."

Trie stars have always been the guide posts 61 the. sea, but only recently has, a device been Invented by which they are accurately identified. In an overcast sky they, will appear for a moment and then lose themselves behind a cloud. The mar iner must by guess or by some diagram of his own work out his location from them. The new Invention consists of a star map over which swings a transpar ent scale, and It revolves from the point located on the map as the North Pole. On this scale are engraved the 'circles of altitude and the lines of bearing. From this map, by a slight calculation, and by revolving the transparent scale -until it is opposite certain figures Indicated on the map, the ship's location can be taken In stantly. The name of this particular star 13 obtained easily, by reference to the nautical almanac by a guide on the chart This seemingly simple device Is already In use on the American line and the Red Star line of steamers, and every new test reports success. It is the result of many years' study and hard labor on the part of Dr. Geslnger, whose Idea It is. Even after the working model had been made and found satisfactory a difficulty arose. It seemed impossible to duplicate by any mechanical means the transparent Indi cator". No engraver could be found who was willing to undertake the work of re producing exactly the fine lines and fig ures on this scale, the use of which de pended entirely on accuracy. The in ventor Immediately went at the task of planning a machine which would make the 'desired lines, and after Infinite labor he constructed a mechanical device which engraves on a scale exactly the lines of his Ingenious original model. This new Invention is likely to be an added prevent ive of accidents and delays In ocean travel. POWER-HOUSE BURNS. Snoqnnlmle Plant, Which Supplies Seatle and Tacoma. SEATTLE, Sept 16.

Marriage or Death. Baltimore Herald. When a young man has so far lost con trol of himself that he threatens to kill a young woman who refuses to marry him, the woman is only Inviting trouble when she consents to receive him, after .such a threat or have anything further to do with him. Threats of this kind are not carried out at the first refusal of marriage. When they are repeated, the woman knows what to expect Any woman ought to know that a man impulsive to the verge of temporary In sanity Is unsafe. It Is absurd to suppose that such a creature could make a hus band worthy of the name. No woman, no matter how much she likes attention. Is under the necessity -of Imperiling her life In order to enjoy the sensation of receiv ing a proposition of marriage from a man who puts the alternative of acceptance or death before her. The proper course to pursue Is to hand the crazy suitor aver to an officer of the law before It Is -too late. Onr Reputation Abroad. Heppner Gazette. .. Portland Is doing better.
