Kccomiiirndctl Industry of
West Is at Stake.
Establishment by the federal gov
ernment of a strict quarantine on the
shipment of plants susceptible to the
white and sugar pine blister rust, and
the passage of laws by western states
tor the destruction of the black cur
rant, a plant which carries the dis
ease and transmits it to pine trees,
were some of the outstanding recom
mendations made at the closing ses
sion yesterday at the Chamber of
Commerce of the feathering of vari
ous interests looking to the eradica
tion of the blister rust.
The meeting, which was held at the
Call of H. P. Earsa, commissioner for
the west on the advisory board of
American plant pathologists and
pathologists for the Oregon Agricul
tural college experiment station, not
only outlined a programme for con
ducting the fight on the blister rust.
iut also appointed an executive com
mittee to take up with congress and
the various state legislatures of the
ft needed legislation.
The federal government also will
be asked for an appropriation, it was
announced, for the conduct of the
general campaign.
W. D. Humiston of Potlatch, Idaho,
Was chosen chairman of the execu
tive committee. Other members are
C. A. Park, president of the Oregon
state board of horticulture, Salem.
nd H. P. Barns. C. S. Chapman, of
me western Forestry Conservation
association at Portland, was chosen
executive secretary of the committee.
Yesterday's session was devoted to
reports of committees. One resolution
urged that the federal board of hor
ticulture establish a quarantine on
piants susceptible to the disease, pro
hibiting their shipment from the sec
tion of Washington west of the Cas
cades. It Is in this section and Van
couver Island that the disease has
made its appearance recently.
Continued Control- Urged.
The same resolution urged the con
tinuance by the office of blister rust
control of terminal inspection of ship
ments of plants in order to intercept
any which might carry the disease.
The various states also were urged to
emiploy all facilities in the enforce
ment of terminal inspection in mails.
The postofflce department was urged
to establish special windows for the
reception and delivery of plants sent
by mail so that close inspection could
be carried out.
The gathering adopted a resolution
urging nuiwery men of the west to
eo-operate for the destruction of the
disease by the destruction of all black
currants and five-leaf pines and by
discontinuing the growing and sell
ing of these plants which are suscept
ible to the disease.
A campaign of scouting and educa
tion throughout the west with a view
to the detection of possible outbreaks
of the disease so that it could be con
trolled also was urged. It was aug
geeted that schools, county agents
and boy scouts co-operate in this
work. This was said to have been
tried out In Canada with successful
results.
Committees Make Reports.
Committees representing various
Interests represented at the gathering
brought in reports expressing a de
sire to co-operate in every way in
bringing about the destruction of the
disease. Among the various interests
represented by special committees
were the transportation companies,
nursery companies, public and private
timber interests, forest fire organiza
tions and state forestry agricultural
And horticultural departments.
After the adoption of the pro
gramme for protection of an industry
declared to be worth fully $200,000,000
iu the west, the meeting adjourned to
meet next year at a date to be set
litter.
JURY HUS 1B0EB CASE
imiBKIlY AXD PERJURY HINT
ED AT TOY CIIOXG TRIAL.
Reputed Tong Gunman Declared
to Have Bought North End
Aid to Defeat Justice.
Thinly veiled accusations of brib
ery and perjury were made by Mau
rice E. Crumpacker, deputy district
attorney, in his closing argument to
tl e Jury yesterday in the trial of Toy
Chong for the murder of Wong Gee.
He waxed somewhat sarcastic at the
array of north end habitues brought
In by the defense to counteract tes
timony of eye-witnesses produced by
the state.
On the other hand, John' A. Collier
nd Earl F. Bernard, attorneys for
the di-fense, contended that the only
truth came from the lips of defense
w itnesses, and that th prosecution's
lineup of evidence was flimsy and
false. The case went to the Jury at
3:30 o'clock and it had not returned
at a late hour last night.
Toy, alleged by the state to be a
Suey Sing gunman, was charged with
killing Wong Gee, member of the Hop
tiing tong, at Fourth and Davis
streets. October 7. The two gunmen
ambushed the elderly victim and rid
dled his body with bullets. Toy was
captured fleeing from the scene of
the murder.

SEATTLE NEWSPAPER ATTACKS
LACK OF PUBLIC SPIRIT.
Loss of Wheat Growers' Business to
Portland Draws Vitriol From
Post-Intelligencer.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., Dec 20. (Special.) The Se
attle chamber of commerce, the com
missioners of the port of Seattle, Se
attle bankers and business men gen
erally, are sharply criticised by the
Post-Intelligencer for failure to in
duce the Northwest Wheat Growers'
association to move its headquarters
to this city instead of to Portland.
"Seattle," says the newspaper edi
torially, "has lost thds great enter
prise that would have moved millions
of dollars' worth of produce through
her port annually, and that would
have tied her closer and closer to her
own blood brothers of eastern Wash
ington a relationship that should
have been more generously cultivated
years ago. Seattle has lost this busi
ness why?"
The newspaper recalls the fact that
the executive secretary and the Se
attle agent of the Northwest Wheat
Growers' association held a meeting
In this city early last summer with
chamber of commerce representatives,
the port commissioners, bankers and
business men, at which they urged a
better co-operation of all Seattle In
terests with their enterprise, and
gave notice that their headquarters
must soon be re-looated at a north
coast seaport city.
"What happened?" demands the
newspaper, and it answers Its own
question: "Nothing, absolutely noth
ing. If any move was ever made by
any Seattle group to bring this great
wheat exporting business to this city,
It was not of such momentum as to
cause a riffle on the placid surface
of Seattle's midsummer business
quietude."
Closing its criticism the newspaper
says: "The Seattle chamber of com
merce talked hh, wide and hand
some. Talked, that's all. Portland
got the business."

ing law in Washington, D. C, who

TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 20. (Special.)

Piggott of Seattle, newly elected pres
ident of the conference, in his address
at the dinner given at the close of the

"I hope one of the constructive
works that this conference will under
take is the restoration of the rightful
name of 'Tacoma' to your, mountain,"
said Mr. Piggott. "I say this from
the standpoint of good business. I
believe that if we of Seattle will co
operate with you on this point it will
do more than anything else could do
to cement trade relations and secure
the co-operation of the entire north
west in our plans for the develop
ment of foreign commerce."
