ALMOST AGREED
La Fotlette's Supporters Firm
for 30 Per Cent; Under

Ilkeiy lo Hurraed.
WASHINGTON. Auf. 1. A rneetin
tf the full committee of the two bmises
In conference on the wool and free list
bills is railed for tomorrow. Bnator
I .a Follette and Representative Under
wood, who constitute the working sub
committee of that organization, were
ar-art tonight only to the extent of
tH Per cent on raw wool, and there
waa a fair prospect that they would
bridge thla narrow chasm before to
roorrow'i meeting.
Knderwood waa willing- to go to 2. H
per rent on ordinary raw wool and Mr.
La Follette waa willing to come down
to 10 per cent. La Follette agreed
to abandon the classification of raw
wool In hla bill, which took many of
the coarser lone wools from the sec
ond class In the I'ayne-Aldrlch law
and placed them in the Brst class. The
effect of this concession is equivalent
to a material reduction on these wools
and a lowering of the average rates
in the La Follette bill.
Ij Kollette's Kapporte-nt Stubborn.
La Follette said that If bis present
supporters would agTce. lie would come
rtown to 29 per cent on raw wool, but
be found that tbey would not. and re
turned to his original proposition of 30
per cent.
There wilt be little difficulty about
agreeing on the free list bill If Un
derwood's wish for another Senate Tote
on the House bill Is refused. With a
modification eliminating corn from the
Incoming free list, the t-enate amend
ments will be accepted and the Senate
will decline to retain the House addi
tion placing lemons on the free list.
I'nderwood, as chairman from the
House ways and means committee,
called the democratic members of that
boly together for a long conference
this afternoon and after a rigorous
consideration of the whole situation
they indorsed his attitude In confer
ence. l oderwood Plan Will Kali.
Underwood wanted to report a disa
greement on the free list bill, in the
hope that the 6enate would recede
from Its amendments, which he thought
possible In view of the tact that the
original House bill failed in the Sen
ate by a tie vote. .
It this request Is presented It will
fall the Senate conferees. Including
Senator Lo Follette and the two Dm
erratic members, were among the op
ponents of the House measure.
L Follette hss made on offset to
Underwood s proposition. He desires
to Include Informally In any agreement
that may be made an understanding
that there shall be a vote on the House
rot t oa bill in the course of the pres
ent session. He has been assured that
the Democrats will Interpose no dila
tory tactics to preyent a Tote, but It Is
known that some of them rely upon
such a disappearance of Senators after
th. disposition of the wool and free list
bill as to make a ballot Impracticable
before the cloee of the session.
La Follette's anilely Is due to the
fact that he and his fellow -progressives-
desire to use the cotton bill
aa a Tehlcle for amendments carrying
lower dudtlea on steel, rubber, sugar,
etc They belteTe tbey will get the
Tote and that these proTlslons will be

by the county for delinquent taxes,
amounting to "0 and costs, making
the total about $100, to H. N. Oray, of
PotlaV-h. Idaho.
The laws of Idaho provide that after
the expiration of it months after the

by the county, the Individual buying it
In may apply for and receive a tax
deed, after which time he la entitled
to possession of the premises.
Following out this provision of the
law. lr. Oray applied for and received
from County Assessor Emmltt J. Gem

aought possession of the premises. This
waa the first time that Mr. Fix bad
.received notice of the fact that his
farm waa claimed by another party,

previous to 101 and every year since
then paid the taxes. He was surprised
to find upon examination of hla re

Mr. Gray now demands $7500 for a
quit claim deed to- Mr. Fix. .
Recently the Supreme Court of Idaho
held In the case of 8. R. H. HrCowtn

Immediate service in London. Distnrb-

perhaps the most serious In Liverpool,

ever, by strategy, succeeded In enabling
the police to clear the streets near tno

The striking fish porters at BUllngs

waa the only ray of light In the altua-

to tie up all London traffic It Is feared,
will be successful, and will place the
city nearer to actual famine than It
ever has been before.
The public health Is threatened by
the effluvia arising from Test quanti
ties of decaying perishable food prod

fruit from the United States on the
steamer Minnehaha will be a total loss.
There Is such a shortage 1a the supply

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. A vigorous
attack on the National Monetary Com
mission, o fwhlch ex-Senator Aldrlch,
of Rhode Island, Is chairman, was made
In the Seenate today In the course of
the discussion of the bill introduced by
Senator Cummins, of lows, calling on
the commission to make its final report
to Congress by December next, after
which It would be dissolved.
Senator Cummins charged the com
mission with unnecessary extravagance
and with delaying a report on the re
sult of Its Investigations, and Senator
Heyburn. of Idaho, asserted tnai, rrom
hnth s nsrtlsan and National stand
point, the original appointment of the
commission was a mistake.
Senator Heyburn. a member of the
commission, scknowledged that the
body had probably had been extrava
gant. To remedy this, he said, he would
offer an amendment discontinuing at
one the salaries of those members of
the commission who are now in ton
gress. This would reduce the expenses
of the commission oy iji.jmu

will be able to give vaiuaoie aavice.
He said he would offer an amendment
to have a report made January iu next.
Senator Newlands, of Nevada, enu

vent such a monopoly as is now
evidently threatened.
Tnc.ldentallv. anent the assertion ot
Mr. Rvui that he has no interest what
ever in the Guggenheim syndicate, let
me point out the explicit cnaracur
of the Cunningham affidavit that the
Guggenhelms had no Interest in their'
claims; and, in any event, our eouro
past Industrial history gives us war
rant for saying that, if the Ryan road
Is built as planned, it will be but a
matter of time and probably a very,
very short time before Ryan's road and
the Guggenheim interests are raerncu
Into one.
"The state of affairs - brought to
light during the administration of Mr.
Balllnger showed conclusively and for
the first time that we had to guard
against monopoly in connection with
the development or AtasKa, or, to
more properly, the exploitation of
Alaska by a great syndicate for the
sole benefit of that syndicate. When
the eliminations at Eyak and Values
moHn tint s revelation as
regards the Guggenheim syndicate, or
any other syndicate, naa ueen uniusui
to my attention, or, as iar as x nuew,
or know, to the attention of any man
In a responsible position around me,
and the public was wholly unaware of
the existence of any such state of
things as the Ballinger Investigation
showed to exist.
Monopoly Not First Detected.
"Whether Mr. Garfield or any one
else had been told that the Guggen
helms were engaged In a syndicate to
act In Alaska, I know not, for I never
was Informed: but in any event. It was
of no possible consequence, because at
that time nothing naa aeveiopea to
show that they had become an exploit
ing syndicate tending to estaDiisn a
monoDolv in mining and transports
tlon, both aside from the fact that it
had never been suggested, as It has
since been proved, that they were ex
pecting to be beneficiaries of what has
since been declared to be a fraudulent
transaction. The difference between
eliminations In one case and In the
other seems to me to be sufficiently
obvious."
The eliminations at Eyak and Valdes
arm have no more bearing upon the
elimination of the Controller Bay tract
than have the previous eliminations in
Rocky Mountain states I eliminated
tract after tract of forest reservation
to nermlt of sgriculture, of manufacture
or the establishment of townsltes, and
I refused to make what on the surface
vera similar eliminations when I be
came convinced that they were really
asked for the purpose of monopolizing
the waterpower.

Portland Tailor Realizes Ambition
"At last I've begun to realize my ambition," said Ray Barkhurst, tha
Tailor, corner Sixth and Stark streets, this morning. On being pressed for
a description of his to-be-realized dream, he went on as follows:
"For years I've been hoping to see the time when I could operate a tailor.
ing establishment where everything from selling to tailoring would be don?
under one roof where it would be possible for me to have personal super,
vision of the garments while they were in the course of construction. Sev,
eral months ago I secured the lease of .this entire building, and lost no time
in having it remodeled to suit my ideas. One thing I insisted on. was that
there was to be all the daylight let into the workrooms that was possible,
As a result, my tailoring workshop is a mighty pleasant place to labor in--bright
and airy- It's the sort of workroom that the Consumers' League will
fully indorse. I want to impress upon the minds of Portland men that every
suit bought of me is made right here in this building by union labor every
garment will carry the union label. I also made up my mind that in this new
store of mine I'd have a cutter that stood ace high in New York clothing cir
cles. He came high, but I consider him worth even a bit more than I pay him;
for I feel that nothing is too good for Portland people.
"I could make as much or more money," he went on, "if I would be con
ttnt to operate my store as some are doing; that is to say, show a sample line
of cloths and have the garments made back East in some sweatshop. But i"3
interests are in this city, and I want to do my little share toward building up
Portland by employing local people. Will I be compelled to charge higher
prices! Not so you could notiee. Look at these cloths, made to your measure
and guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction, at $35.00 and this line at $37.50,
and these beauties at $10.00. Great values, aren't they t"
