ficials there have been no desertions
from their ranks and they predict ul-
imate victory. Bell Hardy, general
chairman of the strikers, said today:
None of our men have returned to
work and none will. Our reports from
R'inniDeir and other points are that
the strikers there are equally deter
mined to stick. We expect it to be a
long fight. All we can do Is to await

There is considerable talk that a

that point.

TORONTO, Ont., Aug. 7. There Is lit
tle change In the Canadian Pacific Rail
way strike situation today. All the su

Toronto are notified to begin work at
once, taking the places of the strikers.
They have agreed to obey the order
rather than risk the loss of their pensions,
Officials of the company say they have
received many applications for work
The strikers say only one man was added
to the force yesterday.
It is asserted here on what is said to
be good authority that within two week
the Canadian Pacific telegraphers will
threaten a strike. Their claims are now
before the conciliation board, which is ex
pected to report next week.
There Is no official confirmation of the
rumor that the engineers, firemen, con
ductors and brakemen were likely to co
operate with the machinists and tie up
the system by a sympathetic strike. The
men - themselves are reticent. All the
places of the striking car-cleaners and re

HEAR ALL, BUT SAY XOTHIXG
Roosevelt Approves Hitchcock's
Course In Hughes Imbroglio.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. When Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican
committee, returned here tonight from his
visit tojthe President at Oyster Bay, he
had little to say about the matters taken
up ' He said that the President had
shown great Interest in the plans of the
campaign in general and that the state
situation had been considered. Beyond
that Mr. Hitchcock said he could not talk
and he would not admit that any con
clusions were reached as to whether Mr.
Roosevelt and his advisers were for or
against a renominatlon for Governor
Hughes.
It Is understood that the policy of Mr.
Hitchcock in listening to what everybody
has to say on both sides of the Hughes
question was approved by the President
and that the latter advised that this
course be continued until the sentiment
of the various sections and classes In the
sUte could be ascertained.-
BY LT.OYn P IJ1T.Rr,AN'.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. (Special.)
Woodruff. Parsons, Barnes and all the
other little Republican bosses of the
state are working night and day In an
effort to prove that Governor Hughes
is devoid of strength.
They have been given a chance to
"make good," but unless they can prove
their claims to the satisfaction of
President Roosevelt, one and all of
them will be' forced Xo eat crow when
the convention meets, probably on
September 14.
The President's position, which is
shared by Judge Taft and National
Chairman Hitchcock, can be stated in a
few words.
There Is absolutely no feeling, either
for or against Hughes. All that Is de
manded Is the selection of the strong
est Gubernatorial candidate; one who
will gain votes for Taft and Slferman.
Woodruff. Parsons & Co. are called
upon to produce a candidate who is
strong as Hughes' or stronger, and one
who will not create a bad situation for
the National ticket. If this condition
can be fulfilled, there will be no objec
tion to the elimination cf Hughes..
Not so Easy as It Sounds.
It sounds easy, doesn't It? But the
little leaders do not think so.
The beauty of the proposition Is that
It cannot be regarded as National Inter
ference in a state campaign. By assum
ing this position, both the President
and Judge Taft avoid any appearance
of Interfering, but It Is said that the
leaders admit privately that they can
not comply with the conditions of the
friendly ultimatum that Chairman
Hitchcock declared on behalf of Mr.
Taft.
Although the leaders who have vis
ited Oyster Bay have been practically
a unit against Hughes, it is declared
that none of them have convinced
Roosevelt that the turning down of the
Governor could be accomplished with
out running a grave risk of sacrificing
the 39 electoral votes of New York and
rendering the election of Taft doubtful.
Hearst to Draw From Both Sides.
A number of machine men figure that
Hearst has put Bryan out of the race
In this state, but it is known that the
President does not look at the matter
In that light. He believes the bulk of
the Democratic Leaguers, being natur
ally Bryan men, will line up behind the
Nebraskan this year, and that the vote
for Hearst's man. Hisgen, will be
drawn about equally between the two
great parties. In other words, the In
dependence ticket will have no effect,
one way or the other, upon the result.
The chief argument that the machine
leaders are putting up against Hughes
Is that the racetrack people and the
Personal Liberty League will raise
big fund to defeat him if he runs, and
thus Jeopardize the state and National
tickets. They say, also, that Hughes
antagonized so many factions In
the state that It will be Impossible to
get out the full party vote behind him.
Stand of Roosevelt and Taft.
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. - Taft, It Is
understood,' take the stand that Gov
ernor Hughes will have behind him a
great moral issue, which the Republi
can party cannot afford to ignore by
defeating him for renominatlon. An
other thing that the President and Mr.
Taft maintain as pointing . toward
Hughes' candidacy Is his strength as a
campaignr. They appreciate the ort
of a fight he would be able to make
with a moral Issue, such as the anti
racetrack betting question behind him.
But they are both willing to accept
nother man. If he is as strong as
Hughes. But it Is a mighty big ,,lf."
In the meantime Governor Hughes Is
enjoying his vacation In the wilds of the
Adlrondacks, and declines to be drawn
Into any discussion as to his availability.
His friends say he will content himself
with his original statement, and that he
understands very well what the state dis
trict bosses are undertaking to do and
the reason for their action.
The Governor's Intimates declare that
when he took up the race track fight, fol
lowing the Initial defeat of the bill at the
regular session, he recognized clearly that
the struggle from that time on would
be directly against the bosses. Instead
of Indirectly against them over the differ
ent measures affecting special Interests
with which they had been allied, Irres
pective of party.
Such a stand was bound to turn them
bitterly against him. and when It came
time for a renominatlon must necessarily
raise the Issue whether he or they should
be decisively defeated once and for all.
ularly In regard to the reform insurance
laws.
There remains the direct primary nom
inations bill, and the ballot reform bill.
In addition to proposed amendments to
the utilities laws, putting telegraph and
telephone companies under the Public
Service Commissions.
If Hughes steps down on January 1
next, his friends say, these things will go
by the board and Kelsey will remain
Superintendent of Insurance.
The re-election of Hughes means that
he will renew his recommendations that
were turned down last year, and with
good prospect of success. Opportunity
will then be afforded, providing a man can
be found who is willing to make the pe
cuniary sacrifice, to appoint a Superin
tendent who will administer the Insurance
laws as Clark Williams has been admin
istering the banking laws.
And the Governor's friends say it would
be a daring Legislature that would stand
up against the direct primary nominations
bill, proposed a third time by a Governor
who had been re-elected on the strength
of the measure won from two previous
sessions of unwilling statesmen at Albany.
The passage of the direct primary
nominations law, it is believed, would
about finish the fight between the
bosses and the Governor, and put the
former "down and out" for many years
to come.
Popular Hostility a Myth.
Friends of the Governor view with
amusement the efforts to make a show
of hostile sentiment among the people.
It Is well understood that In the dis
tricts of a good many of the state ma
chine leaders, systematic efforts are be
ing made to trace out all elements of
the population that may have any
grievance because a certain bill was
signed or another vetoed.
A fact which is giving the leaders
much concern Is that the press of the
state is practically a unit in advocat
ing the Governor's renominatlon. The
only exceptions are papers owned by
certain leaders, and which naturally re
flect the sentiment of their proprie
tors.
In Greater New York the only sheet
opposing a second term for Hughes Is
the Brooklyn Standard Union, and Wil
llam Berri, who owns it. is Timothy L.
Woodruffs personal candidate for Gov
ernor.
One editorial which has been read
with interest appears in the New York
Times, which, although classed as an
Independent Democratic organ. 1b not
for Bryan this year. Discussing "Gov
ernor Hughes and the Machine." the
Times says:
ine nepuoncan organization may
hot be the best Judge of availability
this year. Candidates opposed by the
machine often prove that they are
strong with the people. Mr. Hughes is
stronger than the machine, as-he some
what conspicuously demonstrated dur
ing the recent session of the Legis
lature. We believe him to be strong
with the people very much stronger
than any .of the gentlemen whose
names have been tentatively put for
ward In machine quarters. If the or
ganization should make a selection to
suit itself which did not happen to Suit
the people, the consequences of the
mistake might be serious. Interests a
good deal broader than those of the
Republican leaders In New York make
It highly desirable that the nomination
In this state of an unacceptable candi
date should be prevented."
Hitchcock Probably Tor Hughes. '
Although National Chairman Hitch
cock declares he Is not interfering in
the present contest, the impression pre
vails that he favors the renominatlon
of Hughes.
It Is -said that In his travels through
the West and Middle West. Mr. Hitch
cock has found considerable Hughes
sentiment this, of course, since the
National convention.
In view of this, and of the attitude
of a large number of Republicans In
this state, as well as the position of the
press, Mr. Hitchcock is credited with
the opinion that it would be a bad
thing for the organization to "turn
down the Governor." "
Hitchcock's Intention is to listen to
the leaders who oppose Hughes, hear
their arguments, and study the whole
volume of data they have prepared.
Then he will go out into the highwava
and byways and ascertain the facts for.
himself.
If he finds the Hughes sentiment is
so strong that the renominatlon of the
Governor would undoubtedly add
strength to the National ticket in this
state, then the fires will be lighted
once more under the steam roller, and
It will roll merrily down the political
pathway, to flatten out Mr. Woodruff.
MrJ Parsons. Mr. Ward and any others
wno may .be on the track.
And the delegates to the Republican
State Convention?
They will be told when they meet
whether Hughes Is to be renominated
or turned down. Long practice has
made It possible for them to cheer or
sneer on a moment's notice.
For machine delegates are curious
persons.

Out of this situation. It Is now believed,
irrew the Governor's determination to
stand again for the nomination. His en
tire administration, and in fact his entire
public life has been spent In one field
or another In combatting the combination
of political bosses and private Interests.
He demonstrated this In the gas litiga
tion in this city and again in the In
surance investigation.
The Governor is a great believer In the
good results of "appeal to the people."
He made one plea during his first year
which resulted in the passage of the
public service legislation. A Senate cabal
was organized to defeat these bills, and it
was only broken up when the public be
came thoroughly aroused on the subject.
Similarly in the Kelsey case, the Super
intendent of Insurance was the apparent
center of the struggle, but under the sur
face was the fact that It was a contest
between the Governor and the so-called
"bosses" to see whether the administra
tion of the state should be conducted for
private Interests..
These features of the first leeislative
session are now being recalled by the
friends of the Governor, as his later
course has been marked out in con
nection with the Percy-Gray tew. That
was a measure which he attacked, not
because he was against horse racing, but
because It had the effect of nullifying a
provision oi tne constitution which he had
sworn to uphold.
During the campaign two vears nan
the Governor outlined the reforms which
made up his platform. Something more
than half of the programme with which
he Identified himself has been passed by
the Legislature, and something less has
been put Into effective operation, paxtlc-
EACHES are having their day. As
the leading table fruit this week
they claimed a large share of public
attention. The retail price ranged from
15 cents to 35 cents a dozen. Hood River
was forward with some very fine sam
ples, which were received with much in
terest, as being probably the first peaches
that district has placed on the market.
They brought 25 cents a dozen or 40
cents a basket. The next week or two.
It is anticipated, will witness a superb
display In our markets of the fruit beau
tiful, from different sections of Oreeon.
Apricots now as good as they will be,
probably are selling at 40 cents a basket.
There has been a big crop, but the de
mand has quite kept pace with It, whiWi
has prevented the price of apricots from
being as low this year as it frequently
touches.
Plums, local grown, were among the
new things to be had this week. They
were selling at six pounds for 25 cents.
A handsome sample of large Kelsey
piums. also new, orougnt 35 cents a bas
ket. The different varieties of California
plums, at So cents a box, were consider
ably In evidence.
Bartlett pears, California grown, and
ripe, retailed at 25 and 30 cents a dozen.
Pears for preserving have not made their
appearance as yet.
Cherries are rapidly receding, but the
supply of Lamberts keeps up wonderfully.
This fancy variety stm brings 20 cents
a pound, other species tail down as low
as 5 cents a pound. May Dukes allowed
to be the best for preserving are 6 cents
to 8 cents a pound. Late canners had
better bestir themselves.
Grapes are coming forward. In ad
dition to the green seedless variety, at
12Vj cents a pound, which have been with
us for a week or two, purple gTapes, with
a very attractive appearance, are to be
had at 15 cents a pound.
Apples are also pushing themselves into
public notice. Early local-grown varie
ties are offered at six pounds for 25
cents, at J1.25 a box. Crab-apples famong
the new arrivals) are obtainable at 5
eents a pound.
Oregon cantaloupes are Just coming in:
the be,st grades will follow later. They
retail from 6 cents upward. Watermel
ons, of first-class quality, generally aver- j
age 2 and 2j cents a pound. A large
crop of both is sighted.
Owing to the continued dry weather,
small fruits are becoming much less abun
dant. Raspberries and loganberries are
almost gone. What are left are to be
had still at 6 cents a box. Blackberries,
which are getting scarce, are selling at
the same fifrure. Wild blackberries, the
supply of which is spasmodic, maintain
the price of 12 cents a pound. Huckle
berries, 15 to 20 cents a pound.
Bananas, 15 to 35 cents a dozen. Pine
apples. 25 to 50 cents each, cocoanuts, 10
to 15 cents each. Grapefruit, of the seed
less variety for which the prospect Is
good is to be had at 10 cents, or three
for 25 cents. Oranges which are begin
ning to lead rather a scrambling exist
ence range from 25 tu SO cents a dozen.
Lemons. 15 to 30 cents a dozen. Limes,
20 cents & dozen.
In the vegetable market, the only really
new thing appeared to be garlic, which
was selling at 30 cents a pound. A sup
ply of celery claimed attention as being
the first local-grown to be offered this
season. It had been raised at St. John
and looked particularly healthy. It re
tailed at 10 to 15 cents a bunch.
Owing to the dry weather, a number of
vegetables were placed under the head of
"scarce." This included cauliflower, 10
to 15 cents a head, and cabbage (classed
"very scarce") at 10 cents a head. Let
tuce was 5 cents a head or three for 10
cents; egg plant, 15 cents a pound: gum
bo, 25 cents a pound, string beans. 10
cents a pound: beets, three bunches for
5 cents; summer squasn, three for 10
cents or 5 cents each. The crooked-neck
variety sold at 10 cents each or two for
15 cents. Cucumbers are becoming more
plentiful, and are retailed at 5 cents each,
or three for 10 cents. Green peppers
are 16 to 20 cents a pound; green onions,
three bunches for 5 cents: tomatoes,
which are now forward from The Dalles,
are - 10 to 15 cents a pound; hothouse
grown, 15 cents a pound.
This being the haying season and far

Is ZVi cents a pound. Sweet potatoes are
three pounds for 25 cents.
In the retail meat, fish and poultry
