about $90,000,000 In its treasury in

needs of the road for several years.

Underwood expressed the opinion that
there would be no serious difficulty

of California. California. In taking this
action, is following in the steps of
Harvard, which placed the, ban on root

Members of the state varsity faculty
and prominent undergraduates favor
the abolishment of the organized
cheering.
Carl H. Parker, an instructor in the
department of economics and a grad
uate student with the class of 1904
has written an article In the Dally
Callfornlan, the college organ, against
organized "rooting. The title of the
article Is "The Undemocratic Spirit of
Our Bleachers."
The spirit of the communication was
strongly supported by Ralph M. Eaton,
present editor of the Blue and Gold,
and other leading campus men. such
as Mansell Griffiths, president of the
student body and Frank Partridge,
past editor of the Blue and Gold.
Dr. Parker is aroused against the
cheering methods as at present em
ployed because when he attends rallies
or lectures he cannot express his sen
timents either by clapping or yelling
until he is given the high sign by
Tell Leader Bert Belleray.
President Wheeler's views on the
subject are looked for with Interest
Organized yelling is purely a Western
feature and does not exist In any of

ONTARIO SITUATED
NEAR IDAHO LINE
Interstate Bridge Has Doubled
Business of Malheur County
Town, Says Bennett.
PEOPLE LOYAL TO OREGON
Little City on Snake River Center ol
Wonderfully Active and Pros
perous Community, Writes
Staff Correspondent.
BT ADDISON BENNETT.
ONTARIO. Or., Sept. 9. (Staff Cor
respondence.) Ontario is situated on
the Snake River, in almost the extreme
eastern section of Oregon. It being but
a half mile or so across the river to
Idaho. There Is a bridge across the
Snake Just east of town, and a large
and prosperous section of Idaho Is
tributary and the people thereof do the
bulk of their trading here. Indeed, On
tario Is almost as much of an Idaho
city as an Oregon city so far as loca
tion is concerned. But the people are
as loyal to Oregon as those who reside
In the center of Willamette Valley.
This has been well Illustrated during
the past month, since the change in
schedule by the O.-W. R. & N. and the
Short Line. The Oregonlan, under the
present time card, reaches here a little
after 6 o'clock in the evening of the
day of publication, and the people are
practically falling over themselves In
their eagerness to get on the subscrip
tion li3ts. The Boise morning papers
reach here about 9 o'clock In the morn
ing, but a large number of the citizens
await the arrival of "their own paper,"
The Oregonian, for the news of the
day.
Ontario Murk Changed.
If the reader has ever visited On
tario it all depends upon how many
months and years have elapsed since
the last sight of the place as to wheth
er or not you would know It If you
came here today. Take the Ontario of
three years -ago and compare it with
the place today and you would find but
little resemblance, none to mention
save a few one-story brick business
places on Oregon street, the main busi
ness street of the place.
This street, by the way, runs north
and south, not east and west as one
might suppose if he came In on the
Short Line. For the Snake River, and
the Short Line which practically par
allels It here, runs almost north and
south, though the general course is
east and west. Oregon street Is 100
feet wide. It has fine cement curbs and
walks and a good macadamized sur
face, which Is kept well oiled. In many
ways It Is Just as good as one of Port
land's best paved streets at a fraction
of the cost.
For six blocks along Oregon street
each side Is practically all occupied by
buildings, mostly brick business houses.
Three years ago, even two years ago,
not over half of the space was built
upon, and even at that some of the
buildings were unoccupied. Now one
finds practically no desirable business
places for rent, mighty few of any sort.
The greatest change, however, has
been made on the cross street two
blocks north of the Carter House. This
Is the street from which the wagon
road leads over the bridge into Idaho.
West of Oregon street two fine bricks
have gone uo. one, the Hotel Moore, is
a five-story structure that will com
pare favorably with any building in
this portion of the country, not omit
ting Boise.
Bridge Brings Change.
The change that came over Ontario
a couple of years ago resulted from the
building of the wagon bridge across
the Snake. The Legislature of the
state of Oregon appropriated $10,000
towards this bridge, the county of Mal
heur put up as much and the citizens
of Ontario gave another J10.000, the
entire $30,000 being spent on the bridge
and Its approaches and roads leading
thereto.
The section tapped across the Snake
Is one of the best fruit districts In
Idaho or Oregon. Mayor Arthur W.
Trow, of Ontario, who Is ever alert to
show strangers around, took me in his
machine and drove around through the
orchards for a distance of 12 or 15
miles and I never beheld a section
where there seemed to be greater pros
perity. The whole settlement Is like
a straggling village. On one section of
land, 640 acres, a mile square, there are
33 comfortable dwellings, each dwell
ing occupied and Its occupant the own
er of from five to 30 acres of surround
ing orchard, berry patch or garden.
With but a few exceptions the little
farms on this section are of 20 acres
each.
Idaho Trade Large.
The road leading across the bridge
has a steady stream of teams going
and coming. Practically half the trade
of Ontario comes across from Idaho. So
you can see what sort of a stroke the
Ontario people made when they built
this bridge and road and annexed this
slice of Idaho's territory.
Ontario has two banking Institu
tions the First National being the old
est and most important. It has a capi
tal of $50,000, surplus of $50,000, and
undivided profits of $8362. Its deposits
amount to $383,475. A. H. Cockbrum is
president and H. B. Cockbrum, cashier.
The Ontario National Is a younger In
stitution. It has capital, surplus and
undivided profits of $77,000 and de
posits of $160,000. J. R. Blackaby is
president, M. F. Homan, cashier.
There are two good weekly newspa
pers published in Ontario, the Ontario
Argus being the older. It Is now In
Its 16th volume. M. E. Bain Is Its owner
and editor. Mr. Bain Is one of the bet
ter class of country editors, one who
always gets out & clean and newsy
sheeW He Is also, as one might expect,
one of Ontario's most esteemed citi
zens. The Ontario Democrat is in its
12th volume.' and many of those vol
umes have been made during stormy
periods. Ten years ago "Jake" Gregg
was running it. I think he founded it
but will not say for sure. "Jake " Is a
good printer and a good all-round coun
try editor, and he published a good
paper. "Plug" was then running the
Argus, that being before Mr. Bain's On.
tario career began. And I can tell you
"Jake" and "Plug" ran two good pa
pers, put In their best licks for On
tario, Eastern Oregon and the Boise
Valley. Then they both sold out to
inferior managers and both papers got
In the dumps, particularly the Demo
crat. Finally Mr. Bain got hold of the
Argus and "Jake" took back the Demo
crat and now Ontario may well feel
pround of her two newspapers.

"As a matter of fact," he said, "the
National Association of Manufacturers
was not an anti-labor organization un
til D. M. Parry's declaration, in 1903,
to the convention of that association
at New Orleans. Mr. Parry, as presi
dent, bad his report printed. It was a
virulent attack on all organized labor,
That report ne never reaa ii iuo tuu

time the association became anti-labor

Representative Willis asked Mr.
Gompers what relation the American
Federation bore to the Knights or

"The relation," Mr. Gompers repuea,
between a living human organism and

the National Association of Manufac
turers had preceded him.

Liquor Used In Campaign.
"So I went with my friend one night
and he took me up two flights of stairs
in a building where I saw a large num
ber of men hanging or sitting around
in greater or lesser degrees of in
ebriety. None of them seemed to know
me. We seemed to have the entree. They
all seemed to imagine that I came to
indulge with them and I remained there
long enough to see liquor freely handed
around."
Gompers said the Federation spent
$8147 In political work in the campaign
of 1906 and $8469 in that of 1908. Much
of this money went for speakers and
lor postage used In the distribution of
campaign literature.. He put In the
record a detailed statement of receipts
and expenditures since the Federation's
organization and tomorrow will itemize
the political expenditures in campaigns
after 1910.
Legislative Committee Paid.
In 1308, the witness said, the Fed
eration campaigned in 11 states he
could remember and probably worked
In -more, employing about 25 speakers
and holding many mass meetings. The
legislative committee here, he said,
consisted of Arthur Holder,. John A.
Moffett and Grant Hamilton, each of
whom received $6 a day and was In
the service the entire year on legis
lative work.
Mr. Gompers gave a long explanation
of labor's fight for an elght-hour day
on Government work.
"Do you think It right that the law
shall provide that a man shall not con
tract for more than eight hours a day
service?" asked Chairman Garrett.
."I think," the witness replied, "when
a citizen is so regardless of his rights
and welfare that he does not look out
for himself, it is time for the Govern
ment to intercede and protect his life.
When men work more than eight hours
they do so at the expense of their fel
lows." WESTERN FUEL FIGHTS

Battle of Legal Points.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 10. (Spe
cial.) (Daviu C. Norcross, secretary of
the Western Fuel Company, sentenced
by Federal Judge Dooling to the Ala
meda County Jail, to remain imprisoned
until he obeys the mandate of the court
to produce the books and records of the
company before the Federal grand Jury,
was taken Into custody today by the
United States Marshal. Norcross sur
rendered himself Just before noon. He
was accompanied by his attorney, on
whose advice he ignored Judge Doo
llng's order which resulted in contempt
proceedings against him and the com
pany. While Norcross was detained in
Marshall Elliott's office his attorneys
sought his release through a writ of
habeas corpus. His application was de
nied by Judge Dooling. The defense
then filed an appeal from the order
with the Circuit Court of Appeals. The,
attorney for the defendant also filed
a writ of error In the contempt Judg
ment against Norcross and the West
ern Fuel Company, which was fined
$2000 for Ignoring Judge Dooling's oom
mand to produce the books.
Norcross was later released on $5000
bond and the company obtained a post
ponement pending the decision of the
Circuit Court.
At the conclusion of today's proceed
ings Attorney Knight for the company
said he was prepared to carry the fight
for the retention of the books and
records in question to the United States
Supreme Court If necessary. It Is ex
pected that the fuel company matter
will be made a special order in tne
Appellate Court, and that a decision
will be handed down within two weeks.

Baltimore, ML, July 10, 1913.
"About twenty years ago both my legs
began to itch from ankle to knee, kit
tle pimples came out that looked very
much like heat. The itching and burn
lno was som ethlng terrible. I would
start to scratch and could not stop. I
would even scratch through the skin
and that, of course, would leave a sore
which I was compelled to bandage.
"I tried several prescriptions and
treatments, but received not a particle
of benefit no more than if the treat
ments were cold water. I then began
to have very little faith in anything
and, of course, could do nothing but
scratch away. After suffering con
stantly for twenty years, a friend rec
dmmended Reslnol Soap and Resinol
