BTATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Jan. S
(Special.) Under a running Are of
opposition the Oood Roads Association
bill won the preliminary skirmish In
the Legislature when It passed safely
throush a committee of the whole In the
Senate this afternoon, but at the same
time came out well riddled with amend
ments, some of them making Important
changes in the proposed act.
Thronging1 the Senate lobby through
out the afternoon a great delegation of
enthusiasts from Portland and other
points watched the proceedings with
keenest Interest and frequently ap
plauded speeches with so much enthusi
asm, continual reprimands from the
chair were required.
The bill nnder consideration today
was that providing for a state highway
board Senate bill 42 as Introduced by
Joseph, In a committee of the whole
the Senate considered the bill, section
by section, after a strong- light bad been
pot up against the flrst section by Bar
rett of Umatilla ar.d Dlmlck of Clacka.
mas. The flrst division arose over the
creation of a highway board, and for a
time It appeared as though the Senate
would split squarely on this proposal
and thus virtually kill the whole Intent
and purpose of the bill.
lHmlck Scents Rclieme.
Alterations from Dlmlck created a
sensation. He declared on the floor of
the Senate that the association bills
were fathered by road-machine men, au
tomobile men and the promotion of a
trunk line Pacific highway project.
I want to ask If these measures are
not the result of the moves of the road
machine men to put the county bond
measure through at the last election."
challenged Dlmlck. "The people who
'dig up' the money should have some
thing to say on this. I want to ask If
those In the farming communities, the
men who have been digging roads for
the last SO years I want to ask if they
ire not entitled to some consideration.
Should the road men and the automo
bile men dominate the affairs hare? If
this bill Is passed. I predict that the
people will put the referendum against
and defeat It.
Xewr Commission Condemned.
"Under these association bills some
counties will put up more money than
they draw down. You will create a
highway commission, and because the
road-machine men and the automobile
owners are more clever as politicians
than the farmers, they will dominate
the board. It Is poor policy to create
another commission at this time. We
have been hearing of the extravagant
and lavish waste of other commissions
and boards. - Here on the Senate floor
we have heard statements that have
awakened the Senate to a realisation of
some things that are going on, and why
should we create a commission, giving
It full powers to handle money, as this
bill does, when we should attempt to
curb these commissions and these ex
penditures?" Malarkey and Dlmlck came to warm
words when Malarkey repudiated the
assertion that the men who framed the
bill are actuated by any dishonest mo
tives or actuated by road-machine men.
He declared that these men have given
freely of their time and money to pro
mote a better system of roads, and their
motives should not be Impugned.
County Court to Rule.
Under the bl'.l as reported In favor
ably from the committee of the whole,
a highway board of three members Is
created, these members to be appointed
by the Governor and serve without pay.
All roads shall be constructed by the
County Courts, under the advisory di
rection of the State Highway Commis
sioner, if these roads are In part paid
for by the state. The Highway Com
missioner Is to be selected by the High
way Board, to receive $4000 a year aad
to have general advisory supervision
over roads when requested by the Coun
ty Court; Is to prepare statistics. In
vestigate and determine methods of
road construction, and take general care
to secure and furnish all Information
possible In this connection.
The bill was amended to provide that
the State Highway Commissioner's office
fca located at Salem, an amendment Ty

Dlmlck. the clerk's salary was placed at
100 a month. On amendment by Bow

HALF CENTUBY ENDED
There are few newspapers,
even in the Atlantic Coast eities,
which have been published for
100 years. Considering how
much older is the East than the
Pacific Northwest, it is a re
markable thing that one news
paper. The Oregonian, is ending
a half century of continuous
publication as a daily. The an
niversary is even more note
worthy when it is considered
that The Weekly Oregonian has
been issued for more than six
decades.
The Oregonian 's Fiftieth An
niversary Edition, to be printed
February 4, will be a fitting
souvenir. Although containing
more than 100 pages, it will be
in newspaper form, so that it
can be mailed at small cost to
persons in the East or else
where. The price, too, has been
kept at 5 cents a copy, and it is
certain the circulation will be
enormous. It is the most com
plete resume of Oregon's re
sources, industries and growth
that hns been compiled.

daughter of Mrs. M. Manker, a widow

The little girl had been e?nt by her

by the tramp, who threatened to cut
her throat If she made another outcry.
The child's scream was heard by the
girl's mother, and she untied her son's
bulldog at once. The dog rushed to
the aid of the girl and drove off her
assailant, who disappeared In the dark

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. (Special.)
The House committee on rules will meet
at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning to de
cide when and In what manner the ex
position contest shall be precipitated on
the floor. San Francisco is demanding
that Thursday shall be the day of battle,
and New Orleans, according to an an
nouncement this evening, will again set
up pleas for delay.
Notwithstanding the cocksureness the
Louislanlans have been showing, par
ticularly during the last week, their con
fluence seems to be ebbing when the
Issue squarely confronts them. It Is un
derstood that New Orleans will Insist on
a postponement of the day of Judgment
until Tuesday of next week; It Is to be
expected that conditions will be attached
to that date, if possible.
New Orleans Plays for Delay.
The attitude of the committee on
rules Is known to be for an Immediate
ending of the wearying exposition con
troversy. The Callfqrnians hope that
this determination is bo strong that the
special rule will be reached on Thurs
day. Rodenburg, champion of the
Southern city, says, on the other hand,
that there can be no consideration in
the House until next week and Estopi
nal. of Louisiana, was equally confident
this evening. The Southerners had
hoped that the Postoffice bill would shut
out the Panama measures during the
present week, but with the bill out of
the way they must light before the com
mittee on rules tomorrow for their much
desired postponement. .
In the Senate as well did New Or
leans betray Its policy of delay today.
The Industrial expositions committee of
that body decided to hold hearings and
when the question of a day was( raised
M. H. De Toung, spokesman for Cali
fornia, declared that he was ready to
submit the case then and there. Foster,
for New Orleans, urged delay. The
Southerners had a friend In Overman, of
North Carolina, who undertook to show
that there was no necessity for action
at this session, but he was quickly up
set by the replies of Mr. De Young. The
committee decided favorably to Cali
fornia fixing Thursday and Friday next
for the hearings, two hours on the re
spective days to be given to each side.
These dilatory tactics on the part of
New Orleans would seem to Indicate
how the contest stands in Congress. At

Delegates From Three States Name)
Committee to Draft Plan Hood
River Kditor Opposes Combi
nation for Distribution.
Representing an aggregate capital of
$50,000,000, Invested In apple orchards and
an output of 10.000 cars yearly, having
a value of from $6,000,000 to JS.000.000,
more" than 100 applegrowers from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho gathered In the
Y. M. C. A. auditorium yesterday for
the purpose of forming a National selling
agency of sufficient breadth and width,
to control and dispose of the apples pro
duced In the three states mentioned.
A committee of 16 was appointed at
the close of the day's work to prepare a
working plan for the consideration of
the convention tomorrow morning.
Leading Orcliardists Take Part.
Leading apple culturlsts from the three
states took part in the proceedings. Ex
Governor Miles C. Moore, of Washing
ton; Judge Fremont Wood; of Boise,
Idaho; Miles Cannon, of Weiser, Idaho;
E. C. Benson, of Prosser, Wash., ex-president
of the Washington State Horticul
tural Society; C. E. Whlsler, of Medford,
representing the Rogue River Fruit and
Produce Association; H. C. Atwell, of
Forest Grove. Or, president of the Ore
gon State Horticultural Society; J. N.
Stone, of Milton, Or.; H. C. Richards., of .
North Yakima. Wash.; A. P. Bateham, of
Mosler, Or., and C. H. Sproat, of Hood
River, Or.,' were among the more active
spirits of the enterprise.
The only opposition to the plan pro
posed came from the pessimistic tone that
prevailed through the talk of E. H.
Shepherd, editor of Better Fruit, pub
lished at Hood River. Although the dis
cussion lasted throughout the day and
the speakers were numerous, Mr. Shep
herd could not see the light as advanced
by the more hopeful In the plan' of creat
ing a central distributive agency for
the output. He maintained that there
was no way for an organization at least
he had heard of no plan which would
equalize the values between the apples
produced In the various districts. He)
was certain that there was no chance
for over-production. That he regarded as
a bug-a-boo created by the railroads and
the press.
"All Government statistics," said the
speaker, "that I have been able to get
hold of, aff the information that I have
gathered and all of the Interviews with
old-time nursery men go to show that
over-production Is Impossible, in apples,
at least. There Is no such a thing as
over-production in this country In any
food product. There may be faults of
distribution in the sales end but to talk
of over-production for a continuous num
ber of years that has never occurred
and cannot occur In any known food
product.
Plun to Be Drafted.
Regardless of Mr. Shepherd's views,
the applegrowers continued In their de
liberations and appointed the follow
ing committee to draft a plan: H. W,
Otis, of Wenatchee. Wash.; H. C. Sproat,
of Hood River; H. C. Lamb, of Milton,
Or.; John Forbls. of Portland; C. F.
Whlsler, of Medford, Or.; A. P. Bate
man, of Mosler. Or.; Miles Cannor, of
Weiser, Idaho; C. L. Smith, of Lewlston,
Idaho; Will F. Rltv of Walla Walla,
Wash.; W. M. Nelson, of North Yakima,
Wash.; George C. Eaton, of Granger.
Wash.; C. H. Clark, of Wenatchee, and
'G. H. Sprague, of Cashmere, Wash.
The convention was called to order by
President Atwell. of the Oregon State)
Horticultural Society. Frank W. Power,
of Portland, was made secretary. A
committee on credentials was selected
and they made a report In the after
noon. The call of the convention spe,
clfled that the object of the meeting;
was to form a co-operative selling;
agency and to provide some means for
apple box legislation. Suggestions
were tendered as to the best plan of
procedure and discussion disclosed the
fact that the appointment of a commit
tee should be made to work out a plan.
C. E. Whlsler took the lead In the de
bate and contended that the difficulties
of the undertaking were, first, the
method of establishing grades and. sec
ond, what should be done with regard
to the division of the receipts of the
selling agency. Should there be . a
"Jack-pot" created, as the speaker
called It, In which all should be given
an equal share of the proceeds, or
should values be placed upon the apples
of each district and division of the re
ceipts be placed on this basis? In this
debate George Aggers, of White Sal
mon; A. F. Hellinwell, of White Salmon;
J. G. Tate, of Hood River; C. B. Clark,
of Wenatchee; J. N. Stone, of Milton;
W. K. Newell, of Gaston; C. L. Dick, of
Salem, and others took part.
Co-operation Held Necessary.
