WHAT FATHER O'HARA SAID
Xo Attack on Protestantism or Any
Other Order.
PORTLAND, Jan. 1J. (To th Edi
tor.) Mr. Trlmbl ha confided to th
public that my lectures on "Rome in
tha Fifth Century." at th East Side
Library, ar "a covert attack on Prot
estantism or the great ilasonio uraer.
Moreover, he found that In my opening;
lectur I "abused the courtesy of the
library authorities" by assuming "that
such institution aa th confessional
found their roots in the origin of
Christianity."
I wish to state flatly (that the pub
lic may know how much dependence
to put on Mr. Trimble' assertions)
that I said not one word about the
confessional In my lecture at the li
brary: nor dkl I refer to the subject
directly or Indirectly; nor JI4 I state
or Insinuate that this or other Cath
olic Institution mentioned by Mr.
Trimble had any relation whatever
with the origin of Christianity. AH
such subject were foreign to my
theme. If Mr. Trimble wa present at
th lecture, ha certainly was listening;,
not with bis ears, but with bis preju
dices. A to abusing; the courtesy of
th library authorities. I know of no
on so capable of Judging; about that
a the library authoiitle themselves.
I shall, be perfectly satisfied with
their Judgment.
That Mr. Trirobl shouM Imagine
that I shall hav anything; to say
about th Masonic order must b at
tributed to on of those hallucination
which I fear the moil advanced pay
chology a-ill never be able to fathom.
Th only Masons with whom I shall
be concerned in my lectures will b
th stone-cutters who chiselled th in
scriptions and monuments of psgan
snd Christian Roma.
As to Protestantism, Mr. Trlmbl
need fear no attack either open or
covert. I have never felt any Inclina
tion to attack It from the pulpit and I
may certainly b trusted to respect th
right, not to say the religious feel
ings of my audience.

told a delegation from the' North East

full detailed report on th bids before
taking final action.
M. Q. Munly, president of th asso

wish of his organization that the
award of contract be expedited a rap
idly as possible. He said he and his
associates and residents of the satire
North East Side ' ar watching with
great Interest every move In th step
toward completion of th bridge and
that they desire to have tbe contract
awarded without further delay.
"We are not concerned at all over
this controversy as to the typ of ba

is th bridge and we want to see the
contract let for the superstructure and
have the bascule feature adjusted
later. It Is a matter of Indifference to
us as to the style of bascule."
John F. Logan, representing the
Strauss bascule, challenged the state

BROOM BID ATTACKED
C. Hylo Says State Accepted Highest
Offer Instead of Lowest.
C. Hyle,' president and treasurer of
the Standard Broom Company, is asking
why the state purchasing department
recently asked for bids for a supply
of brooms for th state and then reject
ed the low bids and awarded the con
tract to the highest bidder. After try
ing for nearly a month to get the offi
cials at Salem to answer the question
Mr. Hyle has resolved to take more
drastic steps and the case may find Us
way to the courts. He says he has re
ceived answers to his queries but that
the answers are evasive.
"I submitted bids for various classes
of brooms much lower than the com
pany which received the contract," said
Mr. Hyle, "and cannot sea why the bids
were rejected. I made the bids on
brooms which are exactly th aame as
those used at present. I submitted a
bid of $5.75 a dosen for 61 dozen beat
brooms and th contract was awarded
at I5.87V4 a dosen. For six dosen ratan
push brooms I bid t a dozen and the

Hood River, Ttxbns, Wenatcbee and
Kogne River Growers After Con
. trolling Interest of Big Sell
ing Agency ' Here.
If th proposed jnrgr of th fruit
growers' union of Hood Rlvr, Yakima,
Wenatche and Rogue River Is com
pleted, tbe first step of the combine will
be the purchasing of a controlling in
terest in the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change, of this city. This Is the plan
of the promoters of the combination.
According to officials of the North
western Fruit Exchange, they have not
been approached officially on tbe sub
ject. They have kept in touch with the
movement, but their attitude In the
subject Is entirely passive. It Is be
lieved, however, they will consider the
proposal favorably.
A party of "representatives from the
fruitgrowers of Hood River were In
Portland Friday to . visit the North
western Fruit Exchange and make an
investigation of selling methods. Thl
is one of the steps In the movement in
augurated by the Rogue River fruit
growers to bring about consolidation 01
tha "Biar Four" Hood River, Yakima,
Wenatchee and Rogue River for the
formation of a fruit exchange con
trolled by the grower- themselves, to
handle their crops. Meetings have
been set for the latter part of this
month, to be held In various places, to
consider plans for forming such a sell
ing organization. '
Members of the committee from
Hood River who attended the confer
ence were C H. Sproat, W. B. Dicker
son, E. H. Ferguson and A. I. Mason.
The idea of combining the four big
unions In the Pacific Northwest and
establishing one general selling agency
originated with K. S. Miller, manager
of the Rogue River Fruit & Produce
Association. With the sanction of his
association he has put the subject ten
tatively before the officials cf the Hood
River Apple-Growers' Union, and at a
meeting at Hood- River January 27
the plan will be considered formally by
the officers and stockholders of the
union. r
Washington Unions la Plasu
The Yakima and Wenatchee unions
have also been communicated with and
It is understood Mr. Miller has received
their approval, but this will not be
given formally until meetings have
been held In those districts.
During the past two years there
have been five large sellers of apples
In the Northwest, the four unions
above nanied and the Portland bX-
change, which has acted as selling
asrent for a number of smaller unions
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The
result has been much competition In
finding buyers, and this has greatly
added to the selling expense. It Is to
reduce this expense to as minimum that
It is proposed to amalgamate the sell
ing features of the four large asso
ciations and take over the business al
ready established by the Northwest
ern Exchange.
The exchange began operations In
the Summer of 1910. It obtained the
marketing of the fruit of a consider
able number of small unions in the
three states, and during the season dis
tributed about 700 cars of apples, plac
ing many of them In small markets in
the East, where Northwestern fruit
had not before been seen. Its pro-,
gramme for 1911 was more ambitious,
but a short orop In the Pacific North--West
and a big crop in the East inter
fered with its plaps. .
Next Crop May Be Huge.
Next season's crop In this section
promises to be a great one and the
growers realize that it must be han
dled systematically and with the small
est possible expense. It is for this rea
son that, steps have been taken to
bring the four leading unions together
and sell through a common agency. As
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange al
ready has the machinery In operation
for handling any amount of fruit, the
promoters of the plan believe they can
not do better than by taking over the
exchange. v
When this proposal,' which is known
as the "Rogue River plan," was put
before the officials of the Hood River
Fruitgrowers' Union, they appointed a
committee consisting of C H. Sproat,
manager, and H. E. Ferguson and A. I.
Mason, directors, a committee to inves
tigate the workings of the local ex
change. This committee was at the of
fice of the exchange in the Spalding
building, Friday, and the business of
the exchange was fully explained. The
committee had nothing to say for pub
lication, but may report to the Hood
River Union before the day set for the
stockholders' meeting, so the subject
may be fully understood by the mem
bers. '
If It is decided to take over the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, this
probably will be done by purchasing a
controlling Interest in the stock of the
exchange. The latter is Incorporated
with a capital stock of 1100,000. No
figures in regard to a possible pur
chase price of a controlling Interest
could be obtained.

"We are all Interested In the same
general line of business, but are not all
directly connected, yet we are members
of a New York luncheon club where
we discuss general business affairs
daily," said Mr. Seeman.
"It waa decided at one of these meet
ings to come West together and become
personally acquainted with the Pacific
Coast dealers with whom we have dealt
for years. Some of us have been here
before, but that was years ago when
conditions were entirely different. Now
we have decided to come oftener in
stead of sending our assistants. We
see how the business of each of us can
be expanded in this section and believe
that it is best for us to do it personally.
"How much we have purchased since
arriving in Portland I cannot say, but
It does not amount to as much as we
wanted."
i The party will leave this evening for
the East by the way of California.
