MORE CO-OPERATION URGED

Mindedness Retard Progress
of Growers In Kortbwest.
Politics crept Into the deliberations
of the concluding- session of the State
. Horticultural Society yesterday alter
. noon. The legislative committee rec
. ommended the indorsement by the socl
ety of a proposed bill for enactment by
the Legislature by which a state board
of horticultural commissioners, ap
polntive by the Governor, would be dls
nensed with and the horticultural Inter
rsts of the state would be administered
bv a board of three members, consist
in of the Governor, president of the
. horticultural department of the Oregon
Agricultural College and president of
the State Horticultural Society.
Here was where the trouble started
- -Advocates of the proposed legislation
contended that the proposed plan, which
. rrovided for the appointment by the
board created thereby of a State Hor
ticultural Inspector at a salary of l-auo
a year, the inspector to appoint as his
assistant a college graduate, at $2000 a
year, would remove this department of
' state administration from politics.
Preaeat Board Opposed.
The proposed measure was submitted
by a committee of which A. I. Mason, of
Hood River, was a member. Instantly
it met the determined opposition of
those members of the State Board of
Horticultural Commissioners, appointed
by the Governor, who were In attend
ance at the meeting, under the pros
ent programme, the horticultural inter
ests of the state are vesiea in a com
mission of seven members, appointed
by the Governor from the different hor-
t cultural districts of the state.
Sir. Mason presented a motion, which
was duly seconded, instructing a special
committee of 19 members, which was
also authorised, to prepare a bill for
Introduction at the approaching legis
lative session, embracing the salient
features of the measure as It was sub
mitted to the meeting by the special
legislative committee. It was then that
the defenders of the present system be
came busy. The result was that, after
l aving been adopted, the resolution was
rr considered and the special committee
vas advised to proceed to the perform
ance of Its duties without regard for
any suggestions from the legislative
committee as per its report which had
previously been acted upon by the con
vention favorably.
Special Committee to Act.
Following a discussion that con
sumed the major part of the afternoon,
it was finally decided to refer all mat
ters of prospective legislation affecting
the horticultural Industry to a special
committee of 19 members, with full
power to act. The members of the
committee are: A. P. Bateham. presi

Spokaae Man In Speaker.
The morning session of the society's
annual meeting yesterday was ad
dressed by Waldo G. Paine, traffic man
ager of the Spokane & Inland Empire
Railroad, who charged to jealousy and
narrow-mindedness the lack of prog
ress on the part of growers in their ef
forts to effect an organization that
would prove mutually advantageous.
The address by Mr. Paine resulted in
the unanimous adoption by the conven
tion of a resolution declaring It to be
the sense of the society that "every
member work at all times towards ef
fective co-operation throughout the Pa
cific Northwest."
The convention effected final adjourn
ment yesterday afternoon after the
usual resolutions had been adopted ex
pressing the appreciation of the society
for favors extended in connection with
its annual meeting.

THE GOVERNMENT
Opposition on. the part of German
societies to a provision in the , pro
posed new dance-hall ordinance pro
hibiting liquor at dances, caused the
health and police committee of the
City Council yesterday to call a spe
cial dance-hall meeting for Monday
morning at 10 o'clock, at which all per
sons interested will be given a chance
to be heard. An effort will be made to
' fret the measure in shape for passage
at next Wednesday's meeting of the
Council because of the demand for spe
cial dances during the holiday season.
The measure was to have been passed
upon by the committee yesterday, but
the temperance clause was opposed.
Councilman Montag, representing two
Gorman societies, asked to have some
provision made whereby Germans
ould have their beer In connection
ivith their dances, "otherwise it would
not be a real German dance," he said.

Humane Society Will Ask Congress

"Cruel, demoralizing and degrading"
is the characterization given at the re
cent convention of the American Hu
mane Society to the Round-Up and its
sports, which have become the glory
of Pendleton within the past few years,
and Congress will be petitioned by the
association to put a stop to round-ups
and also to dog racing in Alaska, which
was deemed quite similar to the Round
up. Mrs. Frank Swanton, who was the
delegate from Oregon to the conven
tion, said that while the above deci
sions in part deal with conditions in
Oregon, many of the humane projects
from this state met with the highest
approval of the National organization.
Among these suggestions' was that of
watering work horses at private homes
by means of the distributed Humane
Society watering buckets.

of the National organization.

STRATHDEXE IX BAD STORM
Freighter Forced Back to Coast After
AVeatherlng Hurricane.
Captain Durben's story of the expert
ence of the British steamer Strathdene
fter leaving Puget Sound for Calcutta
bears no reference to the alleared leak
aiscoverea wniie she was loading here,
ui deals only with damage she sus
tained in heavy weather which necessi
tated her return to Victoria, B. C. Her
injuries, 'as roughly summarized, in
elude the loss of a section of her bridge
on the starboard side, lifeboats dam
aged, one of the starboard sides being
demolished, mainmast buckled, shroud,
and rigging loosened and much of her
deckload of lumber lost.
The tramp put out from Pucet Sound
November 12, having proceeded there
irom the Columbia River to coal, and
returned Tuesday. The log shows that
he was approximately 400 miles off
Cape Flattery when a hurricane broke
witn a force of 70 miles an hour. Seas
of gigantic size boarded the Strathdene
and flooded her fore and aft and her
officers clustered on the bridge, while
members of the crew sought the safest
nooks, a few taking refuge in the gal
ley. At every roll It Is said her rails
went under and with the vessel on her
beam-ends at times, the water played
havoc. Saturday morning some of the
lashings of the deckload gave way and
the strain she was under all night was
somewhat relieved when sections of the
heavy timber went over the side, car
rying parts of the rail with it. It was
found necessary to Jettison more of the
cargo, as the rolling timbers were be
ing washed from side to side, making
work on deck almost impossible.
HARBOR BEIXG IXVESTIGATED
Proposed Widening Is Occupying
Attention of Commission.
Under the direction of the Commis
sion of Public Docks an investigation
will be conducted in keeping with ideas
expressed at Thursday's meeting as t
the advisability of extending the har
bor lines shoreward at certain narrow
points, so that the width of the chan
nel will not be less than 700 or 750 feet.
The harbor Is 1000 feet wide below the
bridges, and has even a greater width
in places, but at the old O.-W. R. & N.
bridge it is 695 feet, and between the
Burnside-street and Morrison-street
bridges Increases to 760 feet.
The subject arose over the probabil
ity that large vessels might be sent
through the bridges to discharge gen
eral cargo after the opening of the
Canal, and that provision should be
made for turning them. Instead of later
being compelled to develop a turning
basin above the bridges, as such a
scheme has been followed at San Pedro,
while In the Chicago River it was found
necessary. If the harbor lines are
drawn shoreward it will mean that
dredging will be carried on to remove
land that projects beyond the zone and
in the case of bridges their approaches
will be protected with concrete or other
construction:'

British Army Officer Comes to Learn

TJoBKlhllltles of a market being

Columbia River have developed through
the visit here of Captain Osborne, of
tho nnva.1 Rneineers. of the British
Arnw hn lpft last n I sr ht for San Fran
Cisco after having investigated market
conditions, familiarizing himself with
the character and lite of ties and ship
ping facilities here so they could be
transported to India. ,
He said that In the past? ties., had
been drawn tjrom Australia and Kurope,
also Japan, but the supply in,.he Orient
does not bid fair to last and prices are
such that the India officials have turned
toward the Pacific Coast, captain u

impressed with the durability of fir ties.
Creosoting ties to preserve them prob
ably will be considered also to deter

hardwood and have been regaraea wuu
such favor by the Santa Fe that cargoes

Marine Notes.
Heavy fog hanging over the harbor
yesterday morning prevented the
steamer Monarch getting started until
noon with the barkentlne Koko Head,
which was towed down stream with
lumber, bound' for New Zealand. The
steamer Ockiahama, of the Port of
Portland fleet, was held up at Llnnton
because of fog also, she having arrived
at 2:30 o'clock In tha morning with the
British bark Colony. When the at
mosphere cleared she shifted the Val
erie to Irving dock, the Jersbek to the
ballast dock and the Elfrieda from Irv
ing dock to the stream, from where
she will leave for sea today.
Inspectors Edwards and Fuller, of
the United States steamboat inspec
tion service, have set December 4 as
the date when they will investigate a
complaint that the steamer Bear, of
the San Francisco & Portland fleet,
ran through a log raft that was being
towed upstream by the steamer We
own. The accident occurred near Gll
lihan's, on the lpwer Willamette. The
Bear is due on the return from San
Francisco December 3.
Coming from Santa Rosalia the Ger
man bark Jersbek, which is remem
bered here as the British bark Lyder
horn, as she was originally under the
flag of Great Britain, Is in command
of Captain Peitsmeir, who is on his
sixth voyage to Portland, his previous
stay having been in 1908, when he was
skipper of the German ship Nordsee.
The Jersbek was 21 days on the way
from the Gulf of California.
Captain Schwetmann has reported to
J. H. Barbour, of the United States im
migration service, that six Japanese
deserted from his vessel, the German
bark R. C. Rlckmers, despite efforts of
the Watchman to stop them by firing
a revolver. Two others took French
leave early In the week and but two
of jthe Orientals remain aboard.
Dr. David Nelson, surgeon for the
San Francisco & Portland fleet, left on
the steamer Bear yesterday for San

O you know how the United States
government, the greatest single
organization of the kind on earth,
conducts the stupendous enterprise in
which you are an equal partner? Do you
know how half a million officers of the
Federal government each year collect
and expend a billion dollars of your
money on your account and in your
behalf?
If you wish to know all about these
things, get a copy of the new book "The
American Government," by Frederic J. Haskin.
It is being distributed by this newspaper FOR
THE MERE COST OF PRODUCTION AND HANDLING.
Its facts are vouched for by the highest officials
in the government and its interest is attested
by hundreds of thousands of readers.
This is the book that shows Uncle Sam
at work : how he does all sorts of things from
constructing battleships to building scales that
will turn with the weight of a millionth part of
a grain ; from conducting the affairs of inter
national diplomacy to making maps ; from coin
ing money to delivering mail ; from feeding hogs
to making thermometers that will register the
heat of man's face five miles away.
It is a book full of solid information, but
there isn't a dull page in it. See the coupon
elsewhere in this issue for details of how to get
this book.

FRUIT STORAGE IS DESIRED
Medford Orchardists Plan to Secure
Good Prices Hereafter.
MEDFORD, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.)
Medford orchardlsts are bending
every effort to secure cold storage fa
cilities here and in the Middle West for
the season of 1913.
The past season has demonstrated
conclusively that the secret of securing
high prices is holding the fruit until
the market is high. When the picking
season starts on pears, for example, the
markets are usually glutted with Cali
fornia fruit, and the prices are at the
bottom.
This year, for example, the average
price secured for pears during the reg
ular season was $1.50 a box, but Wed
nesday of this week A. C. Allen, of tne
Hollywood Orchards, put a carload he
had in cold storage since September, on
the Des Moines, la., market and secured
an average of $6 per box. This is the
highest price ever received in this sec
tion for pears In carload lots.
Heretofore there has been consider- j
able doubt as to the pear standing up
under cold storage. The California pear
will not, but the Rogue River Valley'
pear, according to local experts, is p-
cullarly adapted to storage, and recent
experiments by the Government in
Medford are said to have sustained this
view.
The local fruitgrowers are endeavor
ing to raise money not only for cold
storage in Medford, but for space in
storage houses nearer the center of
population, where fruit can be deliv
ered to the market at a few hours'
notice.
Harbor Improvements and extensions to
the west of Delfshaven (Rotterdam), the
cost of which Is estimated at 7.SJ5.O0A gul
den (about !3.177.U0V). are In contemplation.
Throat Weak?
We have had seventy years
of experience with Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. That
makes us have great confi
dence in it for coughs, colds,
bronchitis, weak throats, and
weak lungs. Ask your own
doctor what experience he
has had with it He knows.

There is no "come back" when S. S. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison
because this great blood remedy so thoroughly cleanses the circulation
that not a particle of the old virus is left. After the blood has been puri
fied by S. S. S., this vital fluid is as free from infection as it -was before the
disease wa3 contracted. One reason why S. S. S. is so successful in the
treatment of Contagious Blood Poison is that this medicine strengthens
and builds up the stomach and digestive members -while it is purifying the
blood. Thus all the systemic strength is left to assist in the elimination 1 rnmnound. She was four weeks In.
