H.-Embar-rassed a mild word to define the pre dicament In which member of Con frrM have found themselves sine President Taft submitted his proposi tion for a reduction In the cost of liv ing; throuajh the medium of reciprocity with Canada. High protectionists, confident of the sympathy of the Executive, hare not hesitated to iro to the White House with predictions that the party will be disrupted If the programme la Insisted upon. Insurgent Republicans, many of whom hare become unaccustomed to visit the White liouse at all hare been pursuing a policy of silence. While some of them are ready to admit that the proposed agreement Is la. line with the tariff argument, they fear to adopt It lest they bring "Upon their beads the wrath of agriculturists. President Shows No Concern. President Taft la said to be about the only one who la showing no concern about the situation. lie Is said to have met all arguments against the agreement with a determination to dis regard mere political objections, wheth er they com from standpatter or In-su-genta. He believes that what he haa recom mended la right, and he has made tt clear that so long aa he continues so so believe, he cannot be dissuaded from using every force at his command to promote legislation to put the agree ment Into operation. That President Taft realised fully what arguments would be advanced by protectionists avalnat freedom of tariff relations with Canada Is proved by the fact that not a alngle member of the ways and means committee of th House, or the finance committee of the Senate, was apprised In advance aa to what articles would be affected by the agreement. Only Kxpcrts Called In. His consultations were had exclusive, ly with -the Government trade experts and only such of those as were be lieved t be beyond political Influence. In nothing he has done since he had been President, has Mr. Taft displayed so Independent a spirit. Progressive Republicans are deriv ing some comfort from the fact that Senator Aldrlch and Speaker Cannon and others of the "old guard" appar ently were as much In the dark as any on else about the President's plans. The progressives admit the situation Is mystifying. They knew they had not been called In with Canada's represent atives, and now -they learn the stand patters were equally neglected. The question has arisen how Mr. Taft can bring about favorable action on the agreement without having the support of some faction of bis own party in Congress. Pome want to know If Mr. Taft Is depending wholly upon the known democratic support for the pro gramme. People Are Counted Vpon. Those who have taken the trouble te talk with him about the matter are said to have been told he counted upon the people generally, the masses who think he Is trying to-lower the cost of food, to create sentiment necessary to In duce Congress to act. At the dinner of the Ohio Society here tomorrow night Mr. Taft Is to speak. It Is expected he will say some thing about reciprocity, political lead ers are wondering If he wis) tell what he Inlands to do if the present Con gress falls to set on the agreement. There has been a deal of talk of rn extra session If the reciprocity agree ment falls, and It Is understood that much of this talk was brought from the White House by men who enjoy confidential relatione with the Presi dent. Figure at Mis PWpoeal. The tariff board, the bureau cf sta tistics sed other bodies that are ana lysing constantly the economic ques tions Involved In the commerce of this country are ready to fortify President Taft with any figures he may r.eod la carrying on a campaign of edueat'on. These bureaus already -have prepared much Information on the relation of ex port trade to commercial reciprocity with Canada. This Information shows that neither country has any advantage In the mar kets of Europe. The Called elates and Canada can get equal prices for gralrs and other products of the soli, onltn one offers articles of superior quality.

Forgetting, he explained afterward, -that the gun waa loaded, he pointed It at his father and mother as they en tered the door of the family apart ment.

BIG ICE CROP IS STORED Bend Prepares to Make Reduced Prices Next Summer. BEND. Or, Jan. . Special.) This season, although an unusally mild one for Central Oregon, has witnessed the harvesting of the largest Ice crop ever stored at B?nd. By flooding meadows along the Deschutes River an excellent Ice pond was created. Thla Ice, togeth er with more cut from the pond formed by the power dam. ha been stored tor the Summer trade. Last Winter was unusually difficult for procuring Ice. t: e price In the Summer teaching MO a ton. It Is certain this year that last season's prices will be cut one-half. In connection with the arrival of the railroads, creating cheap shipping fa cilities to other Central Oregon points, a probable development will be that Bend will become an Ice distributing point for other towns to the north, which, not being on pure living water, are dependent upon the more or less uncertsln artificial pond Ice made from water led through Irrigation ditches.

REBELS' RANKS UNBROKEN Strenuous Efforts Made to Force In eurgent Into Line Bank Ac commodatlons of Members Are Point of Attack. BT LMT1 F. LONERQAN'. NEW YORK. Jan. . (Special.) Prodigious efforts under the surface have been made by Tammany Leader Murphy and his allies to force the Dem ocratic Insurgent under Senator Roose velt's command to yield and vote for William F. Sheehan for United States Senator. All has been In vain. The oppos'tton today seems as firm aa ever. No material change la expected at to morrow's Joint ballot of the Legislature. The wisest have no prediction aa to the outcome of the struggle. That Murphy has the great financial powers behind him In the battle to elect Sheehan Is openly declared by the Independent Democratic newspapers, which again today aseert that J. Pierpont Morgan. August Belmont, Thomas F. Ryan and their interests are trying to force Shee han through. Murphy Is Desperate. Finding that the cutting off of bank accommodations to the rebels, refusal of patronage and promises of future re wards hare been futile, Charles F. Murphy returned to Albany today In a mood to adopt the moat atrenuous meth ods to gain the election of Sheehan. 'Senator Roosevelt says you are hurt ing the Democratic party by holding out for Sheehan," said The Orcgonlan's cor respondent. "Is that so?" replied Murphy. Then he added: "I have nothing to say about that." Sheehan declined to soy anything fur ther than that he waa satlsf'ed with the situation. Senator Roosevelt gave out a state ment tonight scoring Murphy for h'a attitude In the Senatorial fight. -Insurgents Declared Loyal. "Mr. Murphy." he said. "Is Injuring the Democratic party by holding out for Shoehan's eljctlor., and every day he holds out the .leas chance Mr. Sheehan has of being chosen. The talk that some of the Insurgents may desert for Shee han Is r'dliulous to those who know the feelings aad sentiments of these men. They are aa firm today In their opinion as they were at the beginning of the fight." It Is known that Governor Dlx haa been aounded with a view to his taking the Senatorshlp as a means of prevent ing of party disruptions. It Is no secret that he is opposed to the tentative pien.
