FALL-SOWN WHEAT .
CROP IMPROVING
Early-Planted Spring Grain
Is Germinating.
BIG ACREAGE TO BE SOWN
AH Vegetation Backward in Ore
gon; Fruit Trees and Bushes
Have Wintered AVell.
)
Although the season is backward, the
grain crop of the state is doing: fairly well
according to the first weekly crop and
weather report of the year, issued yester
day by Edward L. Wells, meteorologist for
Oregon of the weather bureau. The report
follows:
"For about five months the temperature
has been persistently below normal. Wet
oiI has seriously delayed farm work, and
in the elevated districts some farm land
Is still under snow. Continued low tem
perature has retarded the growth of veg
etation. This week, however, has been the
most favorable of the season, with moder
ately warm days, cool nights, little rain
fall, drying winds and considerable sun
shine. As a result of these conditions farm
work became possible over most of the
state and vegetation began to advance
more rapidly. Roads are improving, but
are still rough and at the higher levels
are obstructed by snow.
"A considerable acreage of winter wheat
and oats in western counties was winter
killed. Otherwise these crops are now do
Ing fairly well ; considerable improvement
. was shown during: the week. Much seeding
Was done and early-sown spring grain is
germinating, but a large acreage remains
to be Eown.
"Fruit trees and bushes wintered well.
The bright weather and higher tempera
ture caused some advance of fruit buds,
and In the warmer districts, peaches,
plums, cherries and pears are in bloom. In
some localities the fear is expressed that
continued cold weather has weakened the
buds.
"Alfalfa,, clover and timothy are mak
!ng some growth, but are very backward
and need more warm weather. Pasturage
Is improving, but feed on the range is still
inadequate.
"Where sufficient hay was available
stock wintered fairly well, but over con
siderable areas hay Is very scarce, and the
long, cold winter and backward spring
have left stock In poor condition. During
this week conditions have been favorable
for lambing, but heavy losses of lambs are
reported as a result of previous unfavor
able weather and the weakened condition
of ewes.
"Planting of potatoes and gardens Is In
progress, and in the warmer districts some
early potatoes are up.
nets show, which will be held at Fresno,
Cat.. September 23 to 30.
Plan for this participation are now
under way, and it is expected that Sam H.
Greene, recretary-manager of the Califor
nia dairy council, will soon make a trip to
the northwest in an effort to enlist the
principal dairy interests to make exhibits
at the show.

July and September Weaker Tban
May; Large Export Sales Have
Only Temporary Effect.
CHICAGO, April 26. Favorable crop re
ports from the southwest, together with
work of rains breaking a drovth in Aus
tralia, did a gc-d deal today to bring about
a fresh downturn of ' wheat prices .here.
The market closed heavy. c to 3c net
lower, with May $1.39 1-40 and July
$1.24 i? 1.24. Corn finished unchanged
to H 4c off, oats unchanged to
down and provisions at an advance of 5
25 cents.
At first the wheat market here showed
an upward tendency, owing largely to the
fact that Liverpool quotations had failed
to reflect fully the downturn of values
yesterday in America. Some skepticism
prevailed, too, . regarding talk which had
been current that certain big contracts
calling for May delivery of wheat in Chi
cago had been privately settled. Large
export sales, resulting from yesterday's
sharp break in prices, were also a tem
porary bullish influence. After the open
ing flurry, however, buying power seemed
to lose much of its force, and it took no
great amount of selling to force the mar
ket down, especially during the last hour.
Prices for Juiy and September wheat,
representing the new crop still in the fields,
declined to a far greater extent than May.
the value of which could be only affected
indirectly by present growth conditions,
inasmuch as supplies during May will con
sist altogether of wheat harvested last
fall or before. Slackness of demand, how
ever, for wheat already on hand in Kan
sas City, 154 carloads there were unsold
today, was generally taken as confirming
reports of a decided improved crop outlook
southwest.
Changes In the price of corn, and oats
were kept within narrow limits, and were
governed almost entirely by the action of
wheat.
Higher quotations on hogs helped to
strengthen the provisions market.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company
of Portland follows:
Wheat Started higher on the failure of
Liverpool to follow the decline of yester
day, but all efforts to maintain the ad
vance were unavailing. Foreign and ex
port news was generally regarded as con
ducive to strength, although it was again
noted that the big demand was for new
crop grain while old wheat, with the ex
ception of durum and Manitobas, con
tinues neglected. The report that Russia
and Italy had purchased large quantities
of Argentine and Australian wheat afloat
was without influence here. The local
cash market was somewhat stronger, due
more to lack of offerings than to any im
pressive demand. . Southwestern markets
again had a weak tone, with wheat press
ing for sale and the demand poor. Crop
reports of the day disclosed nothing but
improved conditions. It is generally ac

The following are direct quotations on
Dougias fir and represent approximately
prevailing f. o. b. mill prices in carlots and
are basea on orders that have been nego-
not all that could be desired, on account of
the unfavorable wintering, but it must- be
admitted that the recent spell of rainy
weather is certain in the final reckoning
to prove very beneficial. We see no reason
for altering our bearish position. -
.Corn Trade was small and the market
followed the decline in wheat only in a
very moderate way. The conspicuous fea
ture was the selling by cash houses, on the
small bulges. Cash trade was quiet at
yesterday's basis. Is'o export business was
reported, although bids were said to be
in the market a little lower than the ideas
of sellers. Country offerings are gradu
ally increasing and within the next three
weeks arrivals will very likely be. more
than sufficient to satisfy day-to-day re
quirements. There appears to be little
merit on the long side of futures at. present.
Oats Trade moderate, the only feature
being exchanging between May and July.
Receipts were small and the casli market
relatively firm. According to seaboard
advices, the export demand reported yes
terday was no indication of revived for
eign interest. The lack of a proper outlet
for the large available supply completely
discounts any bullishness that might be
brought by the unfavorable crop outlook.
Rye Held within a narrow range, the
buying being by eastern interests of th
same character as for several days past.
The demand was satisfied by liquidating
selling. Cash rye was nominally steady
with sales of 45,000 bushels made to ex
porters. Leading futures ranged as follows:

Bumper Fruft Crop Forecast.
MONMOUTH, Or., April ' 26. (Spe
cial.) Though fruit is now six weeks
late in development. Polk county
growers predict a bumper crop, s Ab
sence of unseasonable weather and
continuous rains are expected to ad,d
beneficial results to the blossoming
period of the late spring. As soon as
snow in the mountains is melted it
seems likely lhat the danger of kill
ing frosts will have passed. Peach
trees are now in blossom. Cherry
prospects, it is said, .never were
brighter. The buds of prunes are
beginning to swell in some instances.
Wheat growers report that a percent
age of their crop was winter killed.
BY RICHARD SPILLANE
(Copyright by the Public Ledger Company
Published by Arrangement.)
PHILADELPHIA, April 26. (Special.)
Some of The foremost men In America
are looking toward Philadelphia now with
unusual interest. What do you suppose
challenges their attention? Its great man
ufacturing plants, Its fine port facilities
or its wealth of historical structures? No.
What Interests them profoundly is the
Fhiladelpaia Rapid Transit system. They
want every bit of information they can
obtain about the marvel wrought whereby
management and men have been brought
not only into the closest harmony and co
operation but into actual partnership in
the property they operate.
The magazines are likewise interested
They are putting their ablest writers on
the job of getting -the story in its fullness.
President Mitten is flooded with Invita
tions to address economic organizations,
chambers of commerce and other bodies
all over the country. In declining. Mr.
Mitten suggests that no one can get the
heart and spirit of the subject unless he
comes here, rides on the cars, mingles
with the men at barns and shops and sees
for himself and hears for himself from
those best qualified to speak the men
in the employ of the system.
Others Better Qualified.
Mr. Mitten is wrong. The men can tell
only part of the story. The wives and
children are better qualified to speak.
Most strikes have their genesis in the
home. Where the family is happy and
contented, proud of the boss and proud of
the property, the worker is likely to be
the same. Great is the faith of Philadel
phia Rapid Transit men in Mr. Mitten;
the faith of the wives and children of
those men is greater.
The suggestion of Mr. Mitten that peo
ple who want to know the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit story come to Philadel
phia and get first-hand information is
certain to bear fruit. A lot of them may
be expected at the reunion of the wel
fare association this summer at Willow
Grove, Philadelphia's open-air music cen
ter. It is not strange that the people outside
see more in the Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit development than do the residents of
Philadelphia. That which you see every
day you never see in its true perspective.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit affair,
which impresses the outside world so
deeply, has been a gradual development to
the people of Philadelphia. Some day
they may wake up and appreciate that
there is hardly anything like it in the
world.
Square Deal Succeeds. .
The outsiders see it truly. They see the
age-long warfare between employer and
employed. "They see the almost hopeless
effort year after year the world over to
come to some basts of understanding be
tween these two elements whose interests
are so intertwined, yet, who never seem
to arrive at enduring- peace. And then
suddenly they see something almost unbe
lievable 10,000 workmen offering their all
to the boss, who has been an apostle of
the square deal not. only to men but to
management, and they see the 10,000
worKmen oecome part owners m the cor
poration with representation on the directorate.
This is revolutionary. If carried out
fully it would mean an end to strikes.
Men like Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard university, see in it
the most hopeful sign of peace in indus
try. It pays. It pays capital. It pavs
labor. It pays the public. Philadelphia
Rapid Transit employes started by buying
30,000 shares of Philadelphia Ra.pid Tran
sit stock. Today they have 30,000 shares.
Dreamers have dreamed of a partner
ship, a real partnership, between capital
and labor. Here the dream has come
true amazingly true.
Britain Also Interested.
America is not alone in giving attention
to the Philadelphia Rapid Transit. The
English newspapers are printing ' a lot
about it and patting themselves on the
back by saying that Mitten was born in
Lancashire. They are a bit mixed as to
his birthplace, but that does not signify.
It may seem a bit absurd to make the
suggestion, but as a matter of fact the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit may be one of
the great attractions of the Sesqui-cen-tennial.
Labor differences have disturbed
the world for ages. Nowhere else on earth
has there been such an illustration of the
way to peace and prosperity in this field
as the traction company of Philadelphia
has furnished.
Of the millions who come to the great
gathering who knows how many will find
BOY ARSON GANG CAUGHT
Seattle Children Are Said to Have
Started Dozen Fires.
SEATTLE, "Wash., April 26. A
juvenile "arson gang," whose 5-year-old
leader was said by officers to
have confessed to setting a dozen
fire, "just to see them burn," has
been broken up by fire officials fol
lowing the investigation of more
than a score of recent blazes in the
Broadway residential section, Acting
Fire Marshal Laing announced today.
The members of the "gang" ranged
from 4 to 10 years of age, Laing said
Discovery of its operations resulted
from the capture of the infantile
leader just as he was setting a fire
under a bakery, where a mysterious
blaze occurred last month.
The boys, according to Laing, said
they had no interest in the fires ex
cept to see them burn and await the
arrival of fire apparatus. In most
cases, they were disappointed, as the
owners generally discovered and
extinguished the fires in their incipi
ent phases. ,
Mr. Laing said no action had been
taken with, regard to members of
the "gang" except to notify their
parents, who have promised to see
that no further attempts to burn are
made.
NITRATE DEATH TO BIRDS
Orcliardlsts Certain Atmospheric
Element Is Killing Robins.
HOOD RIVER, Or., April 26. (Spe
cial.) Although chemists at the Ore
gon Agricultural college and Wash
ington State college at Pullman, in
reports to orchardists who sent dead
birds for postmorten analysis, state
that they could find no poison traces
In crops or gizzards, growers of
Hood River and "White Salmon,
Wash., express the opinion that rob
ins, which have died recently by the
hundreds, were killed by eating at
mospheric nitrate of soda.
"Invariably," said J. E, Slade of
Husum, Wash., orchardist, "the dead
birds have appeared in tracts treated
with the atmospheric nitrate. I found
several hundred dead robins in my
orchard, and Al W. Peters and E. R-
Pooley, who used the manufactured
nitrate on their Hood River valley
tracts, report many dead birds.'

police judge in a Grays Harbor city.
This judge. In addition to canceling
the licenses of .two drivers who were
convicted of driving while intoxicated,
had his subjects photographed, both
front view and profile, and their
fingerprint records taken and copies
of the photographs. The records were
transmitted to Mr. Dibble today along
with the canceled licenses.
"This is a good sample of the co
operation we are now getting from
the courts," Mr. Dibble said, "and
with such help as this we expect to
see a real decrease in accidents, as
well as violations."
