In order to enrourase the registration
of voters a number of large employers
have decided to give their employes an
opportunity to make the trip to the
County Clerk's office without the loss or
salary. This is being done because some
employes cannot afford to lose their
time, should they go during working
hours to register, and therefore would
fail to register at all unless their em
ployers, by giving them the time, en
courage them to do so.
In order to secure the co-operation of
all the employers of labor In Portland
in giving their men a chance to register
before the books close on April ..
Fletcher Linn, president of the Manu
facturers' Association, has decided to
send out circular letters to all the mem
bers of that organization, requesting that
they give their employes the needed time.
It Is believed that the other commercial
hodies of the city will take similar ac
tion. '
Mr. Unn. who is also president of the
Oregon Furniture Company, said last
night that nearly all the men employed
at the company's factory on the Ma
cadam road had registered, but that
those who had not done so would be
given the opportunity without loss of
salary.
'. V. Ilodson. of the Irwln-Hodson
Company, said last night that as the
printing plant of which he Is manager is
so close, to the Courthouse, nearly all his
employes have registered. Any who had
not done so. he said, would be given the
opportunity, lie believed with Mr. I.lnn
that no employe should be obliged to
lose any portion of his salary by leaving
his work to register.
"I obtained registration cards from
County Clerk Fields." said Mr. Hodson
last night. "nd passed them around
among the men'. They filled them out
and 1 believe they have all signed the
registration hooks, last year we gave
all our- employes a half holiday when
election time came, and I look upon It
as an excellent plan. Every American
citizen should both register and vote."
When the registration cardB are count
ed tonight It will be found that more
than 30.010 voters have registered, for the
total stood at 19.SM2 when the books closed
at 9 o'clock last night. County Clerk
Fields Is still hoping that the total figure
will be more than Seattle's 35.000. and
I'eputy Clerk Schneider, who has charge
of the registration books. Is still con
fident that the total will be at least more
than 30.0(10. He bases his belief on the
experience of other years, when the last
few registration- days have' been most
busy ones for the deputy clerks.
The total number of Republicans regis
tered is now 1S.577. There are 3373
IVmoerats and 9!3 of miscellaneous party
affiliations who have signed the bonks.
The total number who registered yester
day was 413. Three hundred and twenty
of these were Republicans. 70 were Dem
ocrats and 23 belonged to miscellaneous
parties.
"THE OLD APPLE TREE"
Veteran Grower Enters Defense for
This Family Kclic.
AI,RANY. Or., March 12. (To the Edi
tor.) I should like to speak in favor of
"The Old Apple Tree," which we hear
so much RRuinst of lat. There is enough
said on the other side. It seems as If
l lie old orchard had no friends left. But
really there is another side to this sub
ject, the farmer's side, if you pleose. I
know he is very busy, so much so that
he has not the time to inform himself
as well as ho ought. Yet he needs some
thiiiRs as well as other people. ,and ought
to have consideration, while he is putting
in his Spring crop of various kinds nec
rssary on the farm, and these must bo
put In this season, if he ever expects to
derive results therefrom.
I saw In a recent number of the Xew
berjc Graphic a communication from the
Frill t Inspector to the effect that "under
the Instruction of the president of the
State Board of Horticulture, all old,
moss-fjrown apple orchards affected with
anthrac nose or dead spot, whether they
have scale on thorn or not, must b cut
hack to the trunks, anyway." "While
the Horticultural Society may be doing
some jcood In some ways it is doing a
vast amount of harm in creating a sen
timent against the orchard of a neigh
bor who keeps one for convenience In
stead of prottt. At these meetings they
secure the serivecs of agitators or
speech-makers, just as one chooses to
call them. They are "slick fellows, who
can talk very tine on any subject,
whether It is prune-culture, beet-culture,
or milk-eondensatlon, all of which have
had their day in the 'Willamette Valley,
with Uko success. I have seen prunes
so low in price here that it did not pay
to dry and market them, not because
the fruit was defective either. They
were as fine In every way as one could
wish, hut there was an over-supply of
them.
Ho not be too hasty In destroying your
old orchards and following after these
a cit a tors, because long before your new
orchards an bearing these agitators will
have gon to other fields to speak on some
other imaginary get-rich-quick enterprise,
leaving you the work to do. Remember,
agitating is their business and not work.
Many farmer's children would get few
apples to eat were there no orchards on
t heir own farm or some nearby neigh
bor's farm, for these children do not
have the money to buy apples.
Where is the freed 'm in a free coun
try, if a few have the right to distate
what all others shall raise, for the
bene tit of a few who will give their time
and attention to fruit-raising from a
commercial standpoint? It willtake all
the fruit-grower's time to do it right or
profitably for the ywill have to compete
w i:h perfect fruit raised in other sec
tions. In Hood River apple-growing Is the only
r industry, consequently Is lone according
to the best methods known to those who
have made It a particular study. The re
sult is, they have perfect fruit, that com
mands, a good price throughout the mar
kets of the world.
Not one perwori in ten in the Wilamette
Valley has ever seen a Hood River or
chard or have any Idea what it takes to
make these orchards what they are. The
whole time and attention of not only the
owner of the orchard, but hired help as
well, is devoted to the care of that or
chard. Now the Winter spray will be put
on, then plowing of the orchards. Then,
as soon as the blooming season Is well
alontg, spraying for the codlin moth will
be done .and at Intervals of two or three
weeks, till at least it has three spray
ings, with continual cultivation all
Spring and Summer almost up to the pick
ing season in October.
In June each tree wil be gon eover and
the apples picked off t a distance of Ave
or six Inches apart. This Is done to give
the apples a chance to grow to their full
est extent, and is all right for those who
wish to make frtiitraising a business. But
why compel the farmer In the "Willamette
Valleiy. who has a small orchard on his
place and is occupied in other pursuits
for a livelihood, ami only keeps the or
chard for home use, io cut It down and
graft it to Yellow N towns when he
wants the. varieties he has Instead of
Newtowns? Why not let him keep what
he already, has. instead of aitinjr till an
orchard can grow again? It takes years
for an orchard to grow to bearing size.
Let those in the Willamette Valley give
some attention to rasing products to sup
ply those two canneries they already have
for business as soon as the fruit is sup
plied. The farmer must keep up this sup
ply in order to give the canneries busi
ness, instead of starting new orchards
and letting the canneries tand Idle.
Let other sections raise the apples,
where the trees are already nearly ready
to bear, for long before the new orchards
yet to be planted are bearing the busi
ness will be so overdone that htese new
orchards wilt be neglected, just as the old
ones now are.
There was a time when these old or
chards were taken care of, but It did not
pay to care for them, as there was not
sufficient market for the fruit so that
the farmer could live from that Industry.
Accordingly, he had to turn to other pur
suits to maek a living, and it will be so
again If everybody goes to apple-raising.
It can be overdone just as ho praising
has been, more than once; or potatoes,
as they are at the present time.
The "Willamette Valley Is a productive
section, and there Is an abundance of
anything that is planted there and taken
care of. I was born In the Willamette
Valley and lived there more than 50
years. I reared a family there and
taught them to be law-abiding, and to
respect other people's rights, and there
is no other spot on earth taht will ever
be so dear to me as the Willamette
Valley. Yet, I think it Is behind the
times In this warfare it is making against
the property of the taxpayers there. We
have an old orchard there, about six
miles from Xewberg. Or., which Is in
fested with pests like others In the
valley, and we do not want to cut It
down and . graft to Newtowns. Tt bears
hundred of bushels of nice apples each
year. Eighteen or 20 years ago it was
cut off and grafted to Northern Spy
apples. lj&at year it bore as fine ap
ples as could be found. The trees are so
large that It would be impossible to
spray them to any advantage at all.
We have paid many hundred dollars
taxes in Yamhill County on that old or
chard and other property we own there,
and who ought to have the right to say
to cut it down when we want to keep
it for our own convenience? People
come, for miles to get apples from this
orchard, for they can get them for ten
cents a bushel by picking them for them
selves. They would have to go without
apples If they could not get them In this
way, as It is a long distance from town
where they could get them In the market,
even if these market apples were to be
procured at reasonable prices.
It looks very unjust to me, this law
that is spoken of, so much at the present
time, giving an Inspector, or any other
person, the right to cut down an or
chard belonging to some other man. No
wonder there is so much discontent and
anarchy In a country where the people
are beset with such unfair and unreas
onable laws.

MENTAL HEALING SCIENCE
Remarkable Results Attained by
Means of Suggestion.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
For many years, beginning with -what
was known as magnetic healing in
France, there has been a growing per
ception and belief that certain disorders
and diseases of nervous origin are best
dealt with by processes and methods
from which drutfs are omitted, and
which, supposed at first to be of a mys
terious nature, have been found to be
purely psychical. There has been a great
deal of groping and stumbling In the
dark before reaching this conclusion, and
the results attained" have been attributed
to various causes. Some have designated
them as miracles, others as faith cures,
others as the effect of magnetism, or
hypnotism, and still others to the power
of suggestion or auto-suggestion.
It is comparatively recently that the
subject has been investigated scientific
ally and rational theories based on ob
served facts put forward. Although the
close connection between the mind and
the body had long been known, and the
power of mental states to affect bodily
functions recognized, the medical profes
sion having" always dealt with disease
wholly by medicaments, and being un
duly conservative, failed for a long time
to recognize the value of mental thera
peutics and to make It, as they should
have done, a part of medical science,
contributing to the art of healing. Had
they done so at the outset, faith cure,
mind cure, Eddyism and DowieLsm would
never have been heard of, as separate
cults, for the ground they occupied would
have been covered. Everything they have
accomplished of value Is traceable to
mental suggestion.
Recently this fact, as well as that pow
erful adjunct that suggestion may be
made to the physician, has been recog
nized and the doctors are us4ng it gener
ally. A London paper relates the follow
ing incident. Illustrating' the power of
suggestion:
'A remarkable Incident happened re
cently at a London dental hospital. A
young woman went there to have five
teeth extracted. The anesthetic decided
upon by the dental surgeon was ethyl
chloride, and this was administered by
the usual form of apparatus. An India
rubber cap is placed over the patient's
mouth and nostrils and; connected with it
is a bag Into which a sealed capsule of
ethyl chloride Is introduced. By the turn
ing of a screw from the outside the cap
sule Is broken and the anesthetic liber
ated. The sorew was turned, the patient
went off gradually Into the usual condi
tion of Insensibility, five teeth were ex.
tracted. and the patient awakened with
out feeling any part of the operation.
The whole case appeared perfectly nor
mal. Only when the young woman had
left the room and the apparatus was be
ing made ready for another patient was
it discovered that the capsule of ethyl
chloride had by some mischance not been
broken at all. The whole condition of In
sensibility had been brought about by the
self-hypnotism of the patient. The idea
that an anesthetic was being adminis
tered was so strong In her mind that she
had passed Into insensibility entirely by
hypnotic suggestion."
CAPITOL THIEVES GUILTY
(Continued From First Pasre.)
suited in the Fall of that year in the
election of W. H. Berry, a Democrat, to
the office of State Treasurer.
After Mr. Berry took office he startled
the people of the state by charging that
the books of the State Treasury showed
that the Capitol, instead of costing $4,000,
000, had actually cost $13,000,000. An in
vestigation followed, and the findings of
the investigators were to the effect that
great frauds were committed In the fur
nishing and decorating of the building.
The case was laid before the Attorney
General, who began proceedings which
resulted in the indictment of 14 persons.

FOR FULTON BILL
No Opposition in Commission
to Amended Change in
Rate Law.
ELKINS FIGHTS MEASURE
Senator Uses Portion of Statement
in Effort to Show That Commis
sioners Are Against Pro
posed Legislation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 11. Senator Elkins to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Interstate
Commerce Commission is heartily in fa
vor of the Fulton bill proposing to amend
the rate law by providing that no inter
state rate shall be advanced, where pro
test Is made, until the Commission shall
have determined and established the rea
sonableness of the Increase. True, the
Commission does not favor the bill as it
was originally Introduced, but it is unani
mously in favor of the bill with an
amendment which Senator Fulton has ac
cepted, giving the Commission the right
to say what increases shall become op
erative afer due notice and what ad
vances shall not go Into effect until af
ter full hearing to determine their rea
sonableness. Senator Elkins, chairman of the com
mittee to which the Fulton bill was re
ferred, is known in Washington as a
railroad Senator, ami his studied effort to
block the Fulton bill only tends to con
flrm the general suspicion that he is on
very friendly terms with the railroad in
terests. From time to time, on one pre
text or another, Elkins has delayed ac
tion on the Fulton bill, notwithstanding
it is indorsed by every Senator and Coty
gressman from the Northwest and by
many others, and notwithstanding the
shipping interests of the entire country
demand this amendment In the rate law.
The Northwest is particularly anxious
that such a bill shall be passed, because
that section Is even now wrestling with
the adjustment of an advanced rate on
lumber, an advance that might not have
been possible had the Fulton bill been
passed a year ago.
Last Resort of Elkins.
When all other expedients had failed.
Senator Elkins declared that the Inter
state Commerce Commission was utterly
opposed to the Fulton bill, and on that
ground his committee would be obliged
to' report adversely. In this announce
ment Senator Elkins was manifestly un
fair, for he based his statement on a
part of the Commission's letter, which he
deliberately misinterpreted, and deliber
ately suppressed the most important part
of the communication. In that letter the
Commission pointed out Its objection to
the arbitrary feature of the Fulton bill
requiring the Commission to pass upon
the reasonableness of every increase be
fore permitting It to go into effect, and
conveyed the impression that the Com
mission was opposed to the bill in its en
tirety. Commissioner Lane, the Pacific Coast
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, stated to your correspond
ent that the Commission is unanimously
In favor of the Fulton bill with the
amendment suggested; and believed it
most wise that such a bill should be
-a ,n -I,. .. aoctIKIo VI o at at art
further that no man was Justified in
saying the Commission, or any member
of it. was opposed to the Fulton bill as
amended.
The letter of Commissioner Knapp. on
which Elkins based his statement, might
convey the Impression to a careless man,
who did not read it in its entirety, that
the Commission did not favor the bill,
but the last paragraph of the letter, read
In conjunction with the extract from the
Commission's last annual report, which
was In reality a part of the letter, con
veys a very different Idea. The letter,
in substance, was as follows:
Opposed Original Bill.
A majority, and probably all of the Com
missioners would not bo disposed to favor
the enactment of this measure. To give to
the protest of a single shipper the effect
of preventing the advance of any rate until
the reasonableness of that advance was af
firmatively determined by the Commission
would establish a hard and fast rule of
doubtful fairness to the railroads and ques
tionable advantage to the public Under ex
isting conditions, we are of the opinion
that it would be unwise to adopt the arbi
trary limitation which this bill proposes,
whatever may be found desirable or neces
sary In this recard in the future.
It Is further to be observed that the pas
sage of such a bill at this time would im
pose a burden upon the Commission which
It oucht not to be asked to undertake. If
every proposed advance had to be investi
gated by the Commission and officially sanc
tioned before it could take effect, the num
ber of cases to be considered would pre
sumably be so great as to render their
prompt disposition almost impossible. In
Intances of Justifiable increases the neces
sary delay resulting from the probable vol
ume of cases would work Injustice to the
carriers. Until conditions became more
stable and the substantive provisions of the
act (the rate law) are more completely ob
served in railway tariffs and practices, we
entertain the belief that a wider latitude
of discretion on the part of the carrier
than this measure allows should be per
mitted. Might Prevent Reductions.
It is also suggested that the practical ef
fect of the proposed amendment micht b
to prevent voluntary reductions of rates by
the carriers. If no rate could be Increased
without the approval of the Commission
after affirmative showing by the carrier, it
might happen that many reductions now
voluntarily accorded would not be made.
This subject of rate advances was dis
cussed in our recent annual report to Con
gress, and that portion of the report is
transmitted herewith for the Information
of your committee. It concludes with a
recommendation relating to the matter In
question, in which the entire Commission
concurred, and that recommendation Is now
respectfully renewed.
And here follows a portion of the re
port which was attached to the letter ad
dressed to Senator Elkins and which the
Senator carefully suppressed. The spe
cific recommendation occurring at the
end of the report reads as follows:
We. therefore, recommend that when an
advance in rates or a change in any regu
lation or practice is attacked by complaint
to this Commission, the Commission shall
have the power, in Us discretion, after
notice to and hearing of the parties, to pro
hlblt the taking effect of the advance or
change until the matter has been .finally
beard and determined.
Powerless at Present.
At all events Congress should definitely
understand that we, under the present law.
are powerless to act In reference to these
advances except upon the filing of a formal
complaint and after a full hearing of the
case.
In leading up to this recommendation
the Commission, in that part of its re
port sent to Senator Elkins, points out
that railroads, under the existing law,
have full power to increase rates, alter
giving duo notice to the Commission and
to the public. The Commission is not re
quired to approve these changes, and can

only act after an advance has been
attacked. It is just that carriers
should not be required to reduce their
rates without being given opportunity to
justify their old rates. Continuing, the
Commission says:
Cases That Xeed Belay.
When, however, the carrier advances a
rate as to impose upon the shipping public
a higher charge, an entirely different ques
tion is presented. Railway rates enter to
a greater extent than might at first thought
be supposed Into the business operations of
this country. The contracts of tbe coal
operator, tor example, run for a year, fre
quently for two years, and the margin of
profit Is such that an advance In the trans
portation charge of no 'more than 5 or 10
cents per ton may convert a profitable con
tract Into a losing one. Kirgagements for
the sale of grain are made upon the basis
of th e present rate, and an advance of 1
cent per 1O0 pounds may entail a loss in
the transaction. The lumber manufacturer
may arrange for his season's cut upon th
basis of the existing tariff, and a change
may mean disaster to his business.
The above examples are not fancied cases.
They have ail been brought to the attention
of the Commission within the past year in
such a form as to present strong grounds
for relief. Assuming that the advanced rate
would be perfectly Just in the end. It -may
nevertheless be entirely unjust to suffer it to
go into effect at the time named by the
carriers.
Cases That Need Delay.
In the majority of cases, perhaps, ad
vances may properly be made before the
reasonableness of the advanced rate has
been finally passed upon by this Commis
sion; but there are also many Instances
where great injustice must result unless
matters can be kept In statu quo while
proceedings are pending to test the reason
ableness of the advance. Where a rate has
been maintained for a considerable time
and where business Interests will be seriously
affected by Its change, it Is no undue hard
ship to require the carrier to continue that
rate In effect until the propriety of the ad
vance can be passed upon, and to finally
make the advance itself at such time as will
work, no unnecessary injury. Certainly there
ought to be some tribunal to which shippers
can appeal, with authority. If such a course
seems Just, to prohibit the advance until
the general question can be considered.
A-t the preeent time it la not very clear
whether such authority anywhere exists.
Certainly the Commission does not possess
it. It cannot ltelf by any order restrain the
advance, nor can it, apparently, apply to the
courts for such & restraining order unless
the advance works such a discrimination as
Is forbidden by the so-called Elkins Act,
and this Is not usually true of a mere In
crease In the rate. In several instances
courts of equity have Interfered to prohibit
advances pending proceedings before the
Commission. In these cases an Injunction
has been issued In favor of the complainants
alone, so that at the present time the gen
eral public Is paying the advanced rate,
while the complainants are being charged
the old rate. These Injunctions were grant
ed upon the filing of a bond 110,000 In one
case and $250,000 In the other. It Is evi
dent that the application of any such prac
tice must result in discrimination and hard
ship to the general public.
Blondes Are Photoed Most.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Blonde women have their photographs
taken just about twice as often in the
long run as brunettes, remarked E
Bakody, photographer, the other day.
"The reason is easy; blondes take better
pictures than brunettes. The lighting ef
fects are better when the subject Is a
blonde. A blonde girl may get a photo
graph that will flatter her, where one tak
en under 1 same conditions of a brunette
will not even do her justice. Naturally
the girl whose portraits flatter her has
them made oftener than her dark-haired
sister, whose charms are less easily
shown on paper.
