Newspaper Page TextTHE. SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 23, 190S. PRIM LEAGUE IS OVER ANXIOUS Charges of Conspiracy to De feat Washington's Law Fall f lat. CAN'T AFFECT ELECTION Itrliiy or Court Decision Could Do "o Harm lvvtra Session Would Be Costly rian Proposed Tlmt Will Obviate Kxpensc. or.YAFHlA. AVii.sh.. Feb. 22. (Spe cial.) The recently issued open letter from the Direct Primary League, ex pressing fear that a ronnplracy Is on foot to delay the hearing of the test of the (state primary law until too late for the Governor to call a special leg islature if it is found invalid. Is looked upon us either ridiculou or insincere by persons here "who are familiar with Supreme I'ourt procedure. As a mutter of fact, delay In the hearing beyond the May term of the Supreme Court would be the best thing that could happen for those who have an admiration of the law and who do not desire th:it the state go to the ex pense of an extra session of the legis lature. If the case were not set for the May term of the Supremo Court, It could not be taken up. until the October term, which bein October 12, unless upon stipulation that It be submitted on briefs alone, and then only In the unlikely event that both parties ufjrced to so present it. If "ot in May, Not Before Klection. if heard in October, a decision could hardly bo expected before the general election and even If rendered would not become final for 30 days after being filed, and subsequent to election. If the law were held unconstitutional It would not affect the legality of tho pencral election, any more than it would invalidate the municipal elec tions held tills year in Seattle, Tacoma and other cities. Legal authorities here are agreed that a law is a law until the Supremo Court declares otherwise. If. there hus been any conspiracy to delay the case It would appear 'that It was on the part of professed friends of the law. .ns a result of the agitation started by the Direct Primary League and tho misrepresentations made concerning his motives, the relator In tho case, (Gordon Mackay of this city, has de rided to press the hearing in the May term of the Supreme Court and a decision may be expected well before the dato of the primaries. With this practically assured, the possibility of an extra session of the Legislature bobs up again. Mead lrccs Change Front. Governor Mead has said that If the primary election law is declared un constitutional he will summon an extra Legislature to adopt a corrected law. It was after this interview appeared that the Direct Primary League saw or pretended to see a conspiracy to de lay action in. the Supremo Court until too late to call the extra session, and when the Governor hastened to Inti mate that he might call a special ses sion because of ,a passing incident in the railway commission litigation, the argument was presented that the s'ime extra session' could correct the weak points in the primary election law und foil the dreadful conspiracy. Now tfiat Mr. Mackay has denied the existence of any conspiracy of political bosses and filed his briefs in the Supreme (iourt, commendation of him is coming from the quarters where he has heretofore been criticised, and there is a strange similarity between those quarters and the quarters of Governor Mead's immediate supporters. This but adds to the suspicion that this element of the Republican party Is anxious for a special session of the Legislature for some undisclosed pur pose, supposedly political. The last extraordinary session of the Legislature was held in 1901. It cost the state 5151. But in that session there were only SI members as against 3 35 now. The members know just what they wanted to do and did It in two days. A two days' session now would cost nearly double that of 1901 and there Is the possibility that It might extend two weeks, or even longer. Dow to Avoid Kxtva Session. A very simple expedient has been suggested for avoiding the expenditure of this minimum of $10,000 In the event there Is any real danger of the decision In the primary election case being delayed until after the primaries. Tho state conventions called to se lect delegates to the National conven tions could Instruct their respective central committees to fill any vacancies on the respective tickets. Tills Instruc tion, coupled with the explicit under standing that the vacancies shoula be filled by the selection of the men chosen In the direct primaries, would carry out the intent of the law If it were found invalid in any particular. Furthermore, It would not cost any thing. A complete test of the law. at all events. Is promised in the Supremo Court. The Attorney-General of the slate Is not necessarily required to ap peur, as the action was Instituted against the City Clerk of Olympia. At torney General Atkinson, however, as "a. friend of the court" (amicus curiae) will participate fully- In the hearing before the Supreme Court. LIVE IN STATE OF FEAR Portuguese fJovernmeiit Taking Kv ery Precaution to Keep Peace. L1SHON. Feb. 22. The greatest pre cautions are being observed in Lisbon to Insure the maintenance of order. It Is evident that the government fears an outbreak of some kind, but up to the present- time no disturbances have been reported. The soldiers are being kept In their barracks. The Duke of Oporto, ac companied by a strong guard, makes fre quent inspections of the various garrison posts. All the public buildings, including the Bank of Portugal, are occupied by heavy detachments of the Municipal Guard. The commerce of Lisbon reflects the secret uneasiness of tho people. I-;i Seculo today says that King Manuel, Premier Ferreira. the Civil Governor of Lisbon and General Lopez, commander of the municipal garrison, had a long conference last night regarding the situ ation. This paper expresses the opinion that everything indicates that the gov ernment Is in fear of armed revolutionary oui breaks. The political situation in which the gov ernment finds Itself today is extremely critical, and there Is much uneasiness act to tho outcome. TUo government is fair ly caught between two fires, the renewal of the popular agitation for increased liberties on the one hand and the reac tionary conspiracy on the other, and it seems to be trying to fight both at the same time. A prominent politician, who was involved with the reactionaries, has been . sent out of the country to the Azores. The government is considering a plan which includes the postponement of the general elections fixed for April, and In their stead to ,summon the . Parlia ment that was dissolved last year The situation at Setubal is reported to be critical, and the gunboat Zaire has been dispatched to that port.

Ho has a few pet gas teropods, which Ije keeps in glass cages out of harm's way when not playing with them. He was writing at his table while his snails rested in their quarters on the mantelpiece when a strange, regu lar noise disturbed him. It was a long, low hum, followed by a short, louder treble note. The two sounds were re peated with metronomic regularity. Writing became Impossible In the room, and the naturalist got up to trace the noise. He found that it came undoubt edly from the mantelpiece. Could the snails be snoring? He knocked sharply at the glass cages. He does not say whether the snails complained or whether they yawned and stretched themselves, but they certainly woke up, for the noise ceased, and thus the nat uralist made his discovery that snails snore. He found on closer observation that snails bred on vines, which are the edible species, by the way, snore loudest. Correspondent Is Answered. A subscriber (T. N.) asks the following questions: 1. What is a good, recipe for preserving pegs for family use from Summer till Winter? 2. What will remove vfcrnisli and paint from window glass? 1. Eggs can be kept from actual spoil ing for some time by placing them in liquids which exclude the air. One ot the best of these is a 10 per cent solution of "water glass." You can purchase the "water glass" (silicate of soda) at a drug store, and add 10 times its bulk in water. Eggs are also preserved by packing In lime water and In brine. They will remain In a usable condition for a long time, though they will lose their fresh taste, there being no known means by which this can be preserved. Coating the shells with shellac .or with melted paraffins or mutton tallow will often prove effective. The shells must be cleaned before pack ing. Keep the eggs undisturbed in as cool a place as possible. 2. The easiest way to remove paint or varnish from glass Is to apply strong amincmla with an old brush, being careful not to get any on the paint of the frame, and then scrape with a putty knife. A putty knife costs about 10 cents; and Is a very useful household implement. American typewriting machines have only German competitor In Europe. At a recent display at Grenoble, France, they carried off all the honors. Their as is increasing every day abroad FIRMER 1.1 EUROPE English Wheat Markets Show a Better Tone. LOCAL' TRADE IS DULL Prices Offered Are Above a Parity With. Export Values, but the Farmers Are Not Disposed to Sell Freely. Yesterday's , ca'ulos reported, the English wheat markets firmer and Quoted an ad vance in Plato cargoes. The Eastern ex changes were closed in observance of tho holiday. There -was but little business passing in the local market. Buyers as yet see no inducement to operate freely and holders In the country appear indif ferent. , Bluestem was quoted at 82 cents and club at 80 cents, prices several cents above a parity with export values, but these otters do not tempt farmers to sell. The latter show unbounded alth In the future of the market and the belief that a reaction is about due Is also shared by many -members of the trade. An 'Eastern expert summar izes his views of the coming market as fol low: In six weeks the decline In wheat in America has been about 15 cents a bushel. So great a change with no more wheat in the world, no less requirements, and no essential change in crop indications is re markable. Tho floating supply has been largely Increased, because of liberal exports from Jong distance points. These increases will continue until recent shipments com mence arriving at destinations, when as much, or more, will go off the sea as ia put on. It is not to be expected that new business for exDort will amount to much until the floating supply is lessened. Tho amount now afloat is ample for five weeks' needs of Europe, but reduced one-half, would present a bullish situation. It is a question if we should regard further export business as essential. Wo may not have the wheat to snare. We have reached a situation wherein the prominent price factor is tho domestic demand. To tho middle of Aug ust, when the earliest new wheat can reach Kurope. is 24 weeks. Needs are for 10.lKlO.OCM) bushels a week, and all that Argentina can spare will suffice for but ten weeks of the time The 140.000,000 more to be obtained is the problem of the future. Even thoso bcarishl inclined fall in any presentation where so much can be easily obtained. We may continue exporting to our detriment. Our own needs aro for 1.500,000 daily, and there are HIT days to July 1. when new grain appears, although July 15th is a more fitting date. At least 200,000,000 bush els is needed at homo. No new developments have occurred in tho export flour market since the sales to Siberian and North China buyers, reported a few days ago. PROPOSE REDUCING HOP ACREAGE. Movement Started in California to Cut It Down SO Per Cent. Business was quiet around tho local hoD offices yesterday, and Salem retorts were of extremo dullness. Farmers are showing a growing disposition to enter into con tracts, but few, If any, orders of tliis kind are in the market. A movement has been started by Cali fornia growers, who were prominent In tho recent attempt to organize a Pacific Coast union, to bring about a reduction in hop acreage. The intention is to reduce tlie acreage In California 30 per cent, and it is understood steps will, be taken to bring about the same result in Oregon and Wash ington. Had this action been taken when the preliminary work of organizing the growers was under way. the union would not have encountered the obstacles it did, as it was understood by all that the real trouble with the market was overproduc tion and not' solely manipulation, though the latter was made easier because, of the excessive amount of hops grown. Still, it is a question whether the acreage in any section of tho Coast will be cut down as a result of sUch a movement. The large producers who make a specialty ot growing hops will not sacrifice their valuable .prop erties because of a few years of low prices, and the smaller growers can be counted upon to stay in the business as long as they have the means. Some of them will bo obliged by financial reasons, to abandon the growing of hops, and in this way and no other, probably, .will the production be de creased. A few- Instances are reported of yards being plowed up in Oregon, but these are partly offset by 'new yards set out. The indications now are that tho crop on the vines will practically equal that of last year. What proportion of the .crop will be picked, however, will depend on later de velopments. ( AIJiOKMA EGGS CO TO ALASKA. Paget (Sound Firms Buying la the Southern State. Eggs were quoted at 20 cents fiat yester day by most of the Jobbers. Local sales were few and the shipping demand indif ferent. Puget Sound buyers write that they are filling their Alaskan orders largely with California eggs, and as long as tho 6an Francisco merchants underquote Fort land the Northern tradtj will keep away from here. The shipping business has been light all the week, but the accumulated stock may bring prices down in the com ing week to a point where supplies can bo moved. The egc market has taken about the same course this year as last. A year ago yesterday prices touched 20 cents after an uninterrupted decline from 40 cents. Two year ago eggs were selling at 18 to 16',i cents, three years ago at 19 to 20 cents and on the same date in 1004 the quotation was 23 to 24 cents. Weather conditions this season have been favorable for a very low market, and prices are .cxrected to get below 15 cents, when production I3 at its height. There were moderate receipts of poultry yesterday and with a very slow demand, prices were nominal. No new developments occurred In the but ter market. OREGOX APrbES IX LOXDOX MARKET Prices on Newtown Are Being Well Main tained. The weekly apple report of W. Dennis & Sons, of Loudon, says: There is little change to report in the market position here. Beat quality apples are in very short supply and the market remains firm at prices ranging from 20 to 24s per barrel. We have today sold Ontarlan No. 1 stock Baldwins. Greenings and Spies at 23s to 24s per barrel. There is, however, a wide margin In price be tween this best stock of which we are Bpeaklng and the second best. The latter is selling atound about 15s to ITs. We do not include. in second best stock. Nova Scotlan fruit, nor Indeed much of the fruit that Is coming from New York. There is a lot of stuff in poor condition coming from the latter port, whilst the Nova Scotlan fruit Is all on the small side and U selling anywhere from lis to 13s per barrel. Lighter supplies are, we un derstand, coming forward from Halifax, and it will be refreshing to find the market with no heavy weight of inferior quality fruit on it. We shall then see an all round improvement. Boxes of California Newtowns are In better demand at from bs to 0s for four tier and from 7s to Ss for 4'V. Oregon Newtowns are also doing better at from i:ts to 10s per box. We are of opinion that these latter varieties may now be expected to hold thier price. Plowing Ip Yakima Kopyards. XORTU YAKIMA. Wash., Feb. 2i (Spe- clal.) Notwithstanding the unusual activity of union partisacd among local hop men, in conjunction with the work of organizers in other hop districts of the state and of Oregon, the union is not yet a fact. In face of re ports la circulation here and believed by many that the Pacific Coast Hopgrowers Union had failed, a letter was Tecelved In this city today from Secretary W. E. Lovdal. of Cali fornia, denying tho report. In this state it is reported that TO per cent of the acreage is signed up. although this figure cannot be ceri fied today. Many hopgrowers in this district, however, are doing much in a practical way to solve the question of profit in the hop crop by plowing up their acreage. About 30 per cent of the acreage In the Yakima district will be plowed, up thia Spring. Holiday in the Produce Quarter. The produce trade on Front street yester day was of purely holiday character. A tit tle jobbing business was done in the fore noon and by 2 o'clock in the afternoon all the houses ,had closed their doors. The only arrivals reported were a car each of celery and oranges. There were no changes in trices. Bunk Clearings. Bank clearings of Portland.

At a meeting- of tho executive com mittee of the Portland Board of Trade, held yesterday afternoon, a resolution was passed indorsing the appropriation for the State University at Eugene. The resolution was as follows: 'The Board of Trade believes in the desirability and necessity of not only increasing the facilities for higher commercial education, but of maintaining- the most efficient instructors, and that we record our strongest indorse ment for a sufficient appropriation by the Legislature in order that this work may be carried on with the greatest possible benefit for our young men and women, who after all form the foundation of Oregon's development and future greatness."

Senator Burkett, ot Nebraska, was the principal speaker today at the Winter convoca tion of the George Washington Uni versity, held at the Belasco theater. Senator Burkett's theme was "The Pro test of Americanism Against Govern ment Ownership of Railways." Government ownership, he declared, would be a spear-thrust to the very heart of our body politic, and would mean revolution not only politically but commercially, as well as paternalism in politics and socialism in commerce. The system was un-American. It would involve an enormous expenditure because experience had shown that the United States never made money out of anything. Olympia Beer. "It's the water."
