Your Kitchen, Madam
a Source of Prosperity
The prosperity of any town or city on the Pacific Coast
is very largely the result of judicious buying on the part
of a majority of Good Housekeepers!
The part you play in bringing" about and sustaining
prosperous times may seem very trifling to you but
it is a work that you and you only can perform.
Think of this! A million good Housekeepers contributed
to the success of the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company.
We planned to achieve a success to win supreme place
in the biscuit industry but judicious buying on the part
of a million loyal women made our success possible and
we know it.

SUGGESTIONS NOT HEEDED
House, However, Expected to do
Away With Amendment Because
Senator Jones, Who Offered It,
Voted Against Passage.
WASHINGTON, May 29. The Senate
passed today the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill, carrying approxi
mately $43,000,000, by a vote of 35 to
32 after adding many amendments.
On the final passage Senators Cham
berlain and Lane, of Oregon, and Sen
ator Poindexter, of Washington, voted
for the bill, while Senator Jones, of
Washington, and Senators Borah and
Brady, of Idaho, voted against the bill.
Korthwnt Items Retained.
The bill as passed carries all Ore
gon, Washington and Columbia River
items as agreed to in the House, and
they are now assured at the original
figures, . including $1,200,000 for the
mouth of the Columbia. The only new
Northwest item is $140,000 for Willapa
Harbor, which will be opposed in the
House. Its ultimate adoption is doubt
ful, in view of Senator Jones' vote
against the bill today, the amendment
having been offered by him.
The bill will now go to a conference
of the two houses. The fight against
it, begun by Senator Kenyon, of Iowa,
and Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
gained strength until a final effort to
displace it with a substitute appro
priating a lump sum of $30,000,000 was
defeated by only one vote.
lne Demoerata Refuse Support.
Nine Democratic and 23 Republican
Senators voted against the bill. They
were:
Democrats Ashurst, Gore, Hollis,
Husting, Newlands, Pomerene, Shaf roth,
Taggart and Thompson.
Republicans Borah, Brady, Clark
of Wyoming, Cummins, Curtis, Dilling
ham, Fall, Gallinger, Harding, Jones,
Kenyon, IaFollette, Lippitt, Lodge.
Norris, Page, Smoot. Sutherland,
Townsend. Wadsworth, Warren, Weeks
and Works.
Senators Tillman and Thomas, Demo
crats, sought to cast negative votes,
but coujd not transfer their pairs.
Seven Republicans voting for the bill
were Senators Brandegee, McLean. Nel
son. Oliver, Poindexter, Smith of
Michigan, and Sterling.
Commission Plan Stricken Out.
Senator Newlands' amendment to
create a rivers and harbors commis
sion committee, adopted but later
stricken out, proposed a commission
of the Secretaries of War, Interior,
Agriculture and Commerce and the
chairman of the House and Senate com
mittees interested in the framing of
waterway improvement legislation to
co-operate with the board of Army en
gineers in investigating the whole sub
ject of waterways. It was adopted
without a rollcall and with the ap
proval of Chairman Clarke,' of the
commerce committee.
The amendment, which proposed an
appropriation of $500,000, was made
the subject of a point of order, after
Senator Stone had made a similar ob
jection to an amendment by. Senator
Kenyon, proposing a permanent com.
mission to deal with the waterways
problem.
Senator Stone refused to withdraw
his point of order at the request of
Senator Gallinger and the latter then
insisted on his . point against the low
lands amendments.
Kenyon Assails Bill.
Just before the final vote was taken
Senator Kenyon - predicted the bill
would be the last of its kind to pass an
American Congress.
"You are voting at least $20,000,000
Into this bill that is absolutely unjusti
fiable," said Senator Kenyon. "You are
dumping thousands of dollars into
streams where commerce is rapidly
disappearing, and into streams with
less than a foot of water in them.
"You have had an opportunity to
correct some of these abuses, but you
would not. Your motto is 'Let the peo
ple squeal.' I have done my best and I
want to say that if the price of holding
my seat in the Senate is to vote for bills
of this kind, the seat may go. Some day
a Congress will be here which will not
consider that the greatest statesman is
the man who can get the greatest
amount of money out of the Federal
treasury.
"It is a pity that the whole blame
for this extravagance must rest upon
the Democratic party, because the bill
never could be passed without Repub
lican votes.
"The people are awakening to the
fact that votes are cast in Congress
very largely in order that reciprocity
may follow fawning. We have lost the
fight here, but it is not ended. We
appeal now from Congress, drunk with
extravagance, to a people sober, medi
tative and very discriminatory."
Th Saxon government has bought several
larpe brown coalfields in the vicinity of

fication of tts state railways.

JAMES J. HILL DEAD
Son, Lewis W. Hill, Likely to
Succeed to Control.

bined capital and surplus of $5,000,000,
and more than $54,000,000 in deposits,
which makes the institution the second
largest west of the Mississippi River.
Mr. Hill had planned a great future
for the bank and hia policy will be
carried out by his son.
In passing over the control of the
bank, Mr. Hill told his son that he was
more responsible for Its rapid growth
and development than any other person.
including himself, and that his son was
entitled to the reward of his efforts.
At the time Air. Hill gave his son the
control of the banking institution he
transferred his stock to him.
Flag at Half-Maat.
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist ordered
all flags at half-mast on the Capitol
and other state ouildings In honor of
Mr. Hill. : The Governor then Issued a
statement, saying:
"In the passing of James J. Hill the
greatest constructive genius of the
Northwest is gone. He was acknowl
edged as its foremost railroad builder
and business man.
'He was ever greatly interested In
agriculture, art and education. The
loss which his city, state and Nation
has sustained through his death can
not be measured."
Mr. Hill's last public bequests were
gifts for the advancement of educa
tion, in which he was deeply interested
throughout the latter years of his life.
One or his most important donations
was a J50.OJ0 gitp to the College of
Puget Sound at Tacoma, Wash., made
shortly before the beginning of his
Jast illness. Anotner Bequest or $Z5,000
was promised Marquette University at
Milwaukee at the same time.
Taeoma Fend Forgotten.
His gift to the Tacoma institution
was regarded as being of great impor
tance. For many years almost a feud
existed between Tacoma and the Hill
interests. The Hill steamers never
were permitted to enter the port, and
It was only a few years ago that the
Great Northern, Railway extended its
lines to Tacoma.
Mr. Hill was credited In the early
days with having said that he would
see the grass grow in the main streets
of Tacoma before he would run his
trains there.
The ill feeling started in the early
days of railway construction In the
West, when Tacoma, having been
chosen as the western terminal of the
Northern Pacific, showed its courtesies
to that road.
His gift to the school was taken
as an indication that Mr. Hill was
willing to forget the earlier feud.
High Tribute raid.
Archbishop John Ireland, comment
ing on Mr. Hill's death, said:
"A great man has gone from earthly
life. Not only a man of rarest talent
of mind, a genius such as is seldom to
be seen amid the moving scenes of
humanity, but also one who has put
his wondrous talent to the service of
fellow men, whose whole career was
marked with strict integrity and high
est sense or nonor.
"This much, too, I must say in sim
plest truth, that he loved and respected
religion and held the Christian faith
to be the supreme principle of human
righteousness and human life."
Dr. Gilfillan, describing the progress
of the disease, said:
"Mr. Hill has suffered from intestinal
catarrh and hemorrhoids for a number
of years. On May 18, he had & chill.
It was followed by a fever, due to ln-
rection or a hemorrhoid.
Operations of No Avail.
"The fever passed away ne'xt morn
ing and it appeared the trouble was
over. Three days later slight fever was
present and on May 22, Dr. William J.
Mayo saw Mr. Hill. At the time, there
was evidence of infection of the skin
or the buttocK.
This infection progressed slowly
and Friday Dr. William J. Mayo made
a small incision in the infected area.
"Saturday Doctors William J. and
Charles H. Mayo returned and opened
freely the area of infection. From this
time on the infection spread down the
right thigh to below the knee and Mr.
Hill gradually lost strength.
Mrs. Anson McCook Beard, of New
York, the only one of the nine surviv
ing children of James J. Hill who as
not at his bedside when he died, a
rived here tonight on a special train
over the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad.
Accompanying Mrs. Beard were
George B. Harris, chairman of the
board, and Hale Holden, president of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. They
are among the first of Mr. Hills as
sistants to arrive here to pay their last
respects.
OTIKGOX TRIBUTE IS TAI1
James J. Hill State's Best Friend,
Says Governor.
SALEM. Or.. May 29. (Special.)
"The Empire of the Pacific Northwest
owes a debt of gratitude to this great
builder, which words can scarce ex
press." said Governor Withycombe to
day in commenting on the life of James
J. Hill, who died today. "Mr. Hill's
foresight, optimism and energetic abil
ity represented the very finest spirit
of Western development. He was Ore
gon's best friend and a friend who
utilized his colossal power for real con
structive good. He was one of those
great men who see and understand
fundamental things, and realizing that
the West would grow only as fast as
its agricultural productivity increased,
he was always in the forefront en
couraging scientific agricultural better
ment.
"There can be but one James J. Hill.
and the magnitude of the loss of Ore
gon and all the West through the de
parture of this wise leader will be
realized more and more from year to
year."

It was typical April weather with in

Mr. Cleeton, However, lieappoints
Five Members as Committee to
Act as Advisory Body to lteg
iilar Salaried Workers.
Volunteer women workers, whose re
ports involve the expenditure of county
funds, have not proved & success in
the mothers' pension department, in the
experience of County Judge T. J. Clee
ton, who announced yesterday his rea
sons for the dismissal of the board
composed of 11 women investigators
of applicants for mothers' pensions.
In the first place, set forth Judge
Cleeton. the privilege of inquiry into
the home life of pensioners has been
abused by some members of the com
mittee by the asking of irrelevant and
indiscreet questions. The pensioners
object to being interrogated by numer
ous workers on matters concerning
their homes and domestic affairs.
Matters coming before the board were
not always treated as confidential,
maintained Judge Cleeton. Members of
the board whose sympathies were
aroused in a certain case would, often,
if the pension was refused, tell the ap
plicant that so-and-so voted for her,
but that others of the committee, nam
ing them, had refused, creating dis
sension and resentment, it is charged.
Lark of Efficiency Alleged.
Then there was the difficulty of fix
ing responsibility for the work in a
volunteer board over which the County
Court had no actual control. The sug
gestions of Judge Cleeton could be car
ried out or entirely disregarded, and
he held that this did not make 'for ef
ficiency, as the committee members
were not responsible to anyone for the
conduct of their work.'
Also there was friction between the
paid officials of the board and the vol
unteer workers. James F. Cassidy has
been official head of the department of
mothers' pensions. There has been lit
tle harmony between his efforts and
those of the committee. The committee
contended that it considered all cases
from the viewpoint of mothers and
those interested in home-maikng, while
Mr. Cassidy is unmarried and lives in
a boarding-house. On the other hand,
Mr. Cassidy insisted that the work was
not properly taken care of by the
women: that there was little system or
judgment used in the disposal, of
Cry of Politics" Set Vpl
The cry of "politics" went up from
women's club circles' yesterday and the
decision of Judge Cleeton was a topic
of much interest.
"Had the primary gone differently, it
is my opinion that the case committee
would not have been dismissed," com
mented Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst.
The decision of Judge Cleeton has re
sulted in the turning over of the work
to James F. Cassidy, as director, and
Mrs. Kate H. Maguire, late of Toledo.
as assistant. Both are paid, trained
workers.
The aid of the women is not scorned.
however, for Judge Cleeton is desirous
of having an advisory social service
board to handle cases beyond the scope
of the mothers' pension department, and
to assist in the charitable work In
many ways.
On this committee he yesterday ap
pointed Mrs. R. E. Bondurant, Mrs. Mil
ton E. Kahn, Mrs. R. D. Cannon, Mrs.
C. W. Hayhurst and Miss Anna Murphy.
The members of the disbanded case
committee were Mrs. R. E. Bondurant,
Mrs. Milton E. Kahn, Mrs. R. D. Can
non. Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst, Mrs. M. Wag
ner, Mrs. A. Bonham, Mrs. E. McComber.
Mrs. A. E. Borthwick, Miss Anna Mur
phy, Mrs. Versteeg and Miss Emma
Grittinger.
A letter of dismissal was to have
been read at a meeting of the commit
tee yesterday afternoon, but by mistake
a copy was sent to the members of the
committee Saturday, said Judge Clee
ton. The scheduled meeting was not
held.
