HAIL INCREASES FAVORED
California Commissioner IMscu'sses
Attitudoon New Tariff.
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 6.
President E. O. Edgerton of the rail
road commission announced today
that the commission's attitude toward
the application of California rail and
water carriers for higher freight and
passenger rates in the state probably
would be to grant increases to cor
respond with the interstate advances
made by the interstate commerce
commission.
The increases asked by the carriers
amount to about 25 per cent for
freight and 20 per cent for passenger
fares.
Although denying the petition of
canning and lumber interests for an
investigation of freight rates on
those commodities, saying that spe
cific rates would not be taken up
at this time. President Edgerton said
th case would be left open so shippers
could ask adjustments from the com
mission in case they were unable to
get prompt relief from tho carriers.
In answer to a question from Presi
dent Edgerton as to whether the rail
roads and boat lines would make re
troactive adjustments where there
were inequalities in rates, H. C. Booth,
representing the carriers, said the
line expected to stand by the inter
state commerce commission decision
on that point.
Then you mean no," replied Mr.
Edgerton.
Mr. Booth did not respond.
RISE OS APPLES PROTESTED
Fruit Shippers of Wenatchc Dis
trict, Oppose Ruling.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 6. (Spe
cial.) Fruit shippers of the Wenat
thee district are entering a strong
protest against the recent ruling of
tho interstate commerce iommission
which increases the freight rates on
smiles from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent. If
the proposed increase goes into effect
it will mean that fruit growers of
this district will have to pay from
$1,300,000 to $1,875,000 more in freight
rates 'this year than last. It was said.
A protest is pending before the in
terstate commerce commission on a
freight rate increase of 25 per cent
which went into effect two years ago
it is probable the commission will
pass on both protests at one time and
fix a final rate for apples from this
territory to the east.
Many Wenatchee shippers are mak
ing preparations to obtain space in
refrigerated steamships from Seattle
to New York via the Panama canal.
In case the full increase granted to
the railroads stays in effect, it is said
apples can be shipped much more
cheaply by steamship through the
canal than by rail.
President Wade and .Manager Smith
of the Wenatchee Valley Traffic as
eociation have gone to Washington
to look after a final decision on rates.
SEW RATES DUE SHORTLY

FLOUR DUMPED INTO BAY
Chilean Ambassador Recalls Fath
er's Unlucky Speculation.
PAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 7. The
fact that barrels of flour floated
around in San Francisco bay in the
year 1S50 could hardly be expected to
interest a present-day ambassador
from Chile to the United States, said
Belthran Mathieu, the Chilean am
bassador at Washington, on his visit
to this city, but in his case it was a
matter of family history.
Mr. Mathieu said that his father, a
young Chilean merchant, conceived
the idea when news of the California
gold rush spread to South America
that flour would be much in demand
in San Francisco. So a ship was
chartered, loaded with flour and the
sails set for the north. -
Unfortunately for Mr. Mathleu's
father, many other people had decided
that similar ventures in flour would
be profitable, and when his ship
sailed into the Golden Gate flour could
hardly be given away, there was such
a supply here. The elder Mathieu
dumped his cargo Into the bay, sold
his ship for what little he could get
for it and decided to make San Fran
cisco his home.
For several years he ran a store
here, but finally sold out and returned
to Chile, where he remained.

Proper Passports.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 6. While it
is popularly supposed that after Sep
tember 1 no Japanese picture or proxy
brides will be admitted into the
United States, the government has no
remedy against those that might ar
rive after that date, so long as they
are supplied with proper passports
from their own country, It was stated
by Immigration Commissioner Henry
M. White, Friday.
"Early this year." said Commis
sioner White,. Vthe Japanese govern
ment issued a proclamation to the
effect that after March 1 no passports
to the United States would be granted
proxy brides. As passports must be
secured six months before emigrants
depart, hence we would naturally
conclude that none of these women
would arrive here after the first of
SeptemWr.
"But that is entirely up to Japan.
Under the 'gentlemen's agreement' we
have to admit wives, parents and
children of Japanese who have estab
lished residence here, so long as iney

fill our immigration requirements.

N RESPONSE to the numerous inquiries, we hereby wish to
it publicly known that this company is in no way, financially or
otherwise, connected with the Oregon Dairymen's Co-operative
League, headed by Alma D. Katz, General Agent for Oregon, of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. "
It appears to be the programme of Mr. Katz and his associates to tie up
the Dairymen by ironclad contracts, binding them to market their milk
through the League for a period of five and one-half years, without any
specific price being fixed for same, but with specific provision that
"Any deduction or allowance or loss that the League may make or suf
fer on account of inferior grade, quality or condition at delivery, shall
be charged against the Dairymen individually''
And a further provision enables them to charge to the Dairymen and
deduct from amounts due them the cost of m a i n t a i n i n g the associa
tion, and handling, grading and marketing their milk and by-products
therefrom.
Under such contract the Dairyman is no longer a free agent in his busi
ness; he has no independent outlet for his products, and his personal
assets are chargeable with operation expenses of the League.
Dairymen solicited should find out what a membership of this Organiza
tion means.
Consider these points:
Askj your Banker or Attorney what your financial responsibilities will
be if you sign up.
Find out about the rights of the League to charge you for expenses of
their operations.
Find out who gets the "Cream" and who gets the "MilkT in this "High
Financing Proposition."
Compare the net returns received from this so-called League with the
net returns of the Dairymen sending their products to independent con
cerns. ,
The officers and stockholders of the Columbia Dairy Products Com
pany thoroughly believe in co-operation, but we do not believe in exploita
tion of dairymen by unscrupulous promoters.
Our stockholders and patrons alike are paid by check on arrival of each
individual shipment.
They are not tied up by any iron-bound contract, but left at liberty to
ship wherever they can get the highest market price consistent with
safe and conservative methods.

Suppose, for instance, you write a
lonjj letter to a man explaining fully
some proposition on which you would
like to have an immediate decision.
Why not tell him in your letter that
you will phone him at his home at
9 o'clock on such-and-such an evening
for his answer? Perhaps there's
some point on which he isn't alto
gether "sold" that you can explain in
a few words. The deal is made with
no time wasted waiting for an inter
change of letters. By phoning him
at night on a number-to-number call,
you are able to talk two or three
times as long at the cost of a regular
day message.
Get the home numbers of your busi
ness friends and use "Northwestern"
Night Service the efficient, inexpen
sive long distance service.
