Jan. 9-(5pe-clal.) onf;lderablr anxiety is felt In cer tain circles here as to llw effect the ac tion of the Association of American Aff rlcultural Colleges and KxpTimcnt Sta tions wiil hive on the local bulb gtarden. mhlch thia oi'y secured only after a most itrenuous campaign last year. The bulb rarden and experiment station was start -d primarily to determine the fitness of Whautim County soil for the raisins of ayacinths. H. iu. Jueueman was placed In chargw of the plant, and while no re flections are cast upon his management, kw-l farmers have not taken to bulb rilsmi with any remarkable enthusiasm, nor has the experiment station particU .arly Increased tlia loral revenues. Some experiments In raisins fruit trees m various soils have been carried oitt. but. aa practically any kind of fruit will frow on any cleared land in the western !art of the county, the need of this ex-p-rlmrntal work seems rather question able. The experiment station here has b-en curtailed by a reduced appropriation, and fear is expressed now that It will be temporarily suspend- d. As the land for the station was pur chased by leading citizens of the city through the Chamber of Commerce and donated to the Government. Bcllinyham Is ,'ry anxious that 4he station be contln jed and its usefulness proved. Many rltixena already feel that the outlay for the site was an expense tno city could hardly afford; and if the station should be suspended they are wond-Tlna; if any mang of recovery of the cost would be open to them. of the opposition, which wa without a recognized leader and whose strength, was further dissipated by tne conflict ing aspirations of va-ious candidates for the Speakership, neither of whom hesitated to thrust the stiletto of envy into the hopes of the other. The result was a sadly disorganized force thsjt could not unite on any one of the sev eral candidates that had been proposed from their own number. Eventually, some of these tired of Internal wrang ling" and allied themselves with the Mc Arthur forces: Fight Transferred to Salem. rre-ora-anlzatlon activities tonight will be transferred to tho corridors of the "Willamette Hotel at Salem. Hy ft o'clock tonight practically every one of the 90 members of the Legislature will be In falem, prepared for participation In the Senate arid House caucusea which will be hel l tomorrow morning at the state eapl tol.

Several of the members living up the Willamette Valley left last night either for their homes or Salem. They will all be assembled at Balem tomorrow night or 'early Monday morning in time for the caucuses on or ganization. Among the Senators to reach Tortland yesterday were the following, all of whom were registered at the Imperial Hotel: Turner Oliver, of Union: I I. Mulit. of Jackson: (. J. Smith, of Vmalllla: J. N.

Jan. 9 Notice appeared today In the official gazette of the Mani toba government that the Great Northern trains will be run into Winnipeg from the south over Its own road by midsum mer. Application has been made to build a line this year west from Winnipeg parati-llr.g the Northern I'aciflc to the western boundary of the province, also a branch from Morden to Rothwell.

LEGISLATIVE FIGHT ENDS (Continued From First Page.) date for the Speakership. Just who will be associated with him Is Indefinite at tills stage, although Bryant, of Multno mah, is regarded as very friendly to Campbell and probably will be found play ing the game of the Clackamas County man together with such other of the stand pat -anti-Statement members as can be enlisted In such a programme. Campbell, it is said, figures that since his services as Speaker are rot desired by either of the contesting factions, he proposes to remain in an unattached attitude and take an active part in tiie discussion of' such legislation as may be presented for the consideration of the Representatives. This as the course he followed in the 19i.iT session. An adjourned meeting of the Statement members, called for 9 o'clock yesterday morning, failed to materialize. The ses sion was scheduled for the rooms of Hal D. Patton. of Marion, in the Imperial Hotel, but the largest number that couid be assembled at any one time was nine a.id these dispersed before the assembly could be convened in orderly manner. The result was that no further steps were taken towards effecting an organization or outlining a dentate programme for the coming session. Late yesterday after noon Patton and his Statement One col leagues. Haitffccrg and Lihby. departed for Saieru. Just as firm Statement men, to Patton said, as they ever liad been. May Spring Coup In Caucus. Since the disorganized Statement forces have decided to enter the Re publican caucus, for which McArthur worked from the beginning of the Speakership contest, the friends of the Multnomah Courty man suspect that an attempt may be made to disrupt the auctis and carry the fijht for the elec tion of Speaker onto the floor of the House. McArthur's friends, however, are prepared for Just such a coup and It Is entirely safe to predict tiiat the same forces that are back of McArthur. and which are suffkimt to Insure his nom ination and election, will dispel any at tempted. Intrusion on the part of the .i:so.-ganl;:ed element. Loyalty of his f. lends, particularly the Representatives from the eastern section of the state. Is principally re sponsible for McArthur's assured victory in the Speakership fight. Of the 12 members from Eastern Oregon. 11 stood by McArthur from the start. Another asset that contributed to Mc.Vrthur'a succeaa vu the disorganized condition COMPANY F IS AGAIN" W1XXER Runs or Big Score In Indoor Base bull (ianie. - Company E maintained Its? record of victories in the O. N. G. indoor baseball league game played at the Armory last night, defeating Company H by the score of 22 to 5. The result of this game leaves three teams In the Armor' indoor league without a defeat, the others being Com panies B and C. Last night's game was an Interesting contest, despite the big lead of the win ners. The majority of the runs were due to the weak support afforded Pttcher Khinehart. of Company H. who played a creditable game. Henderson and Mann, battery for the victorious team, proved equal to every emergency. Hen derson Is looked upon as a formidable opponent to the other two leading clubs. Companies C and H are scheduled to meet next Tuesday night, while the first game between the leaders takes place on January 28, when Companies B and C will meet. Companies B and E are scheduled to meet on February 8. and Companies C and E on February 25. The lust game of the season will be played on March 6.

Debate on Economic Problem. Walter Thomas Mills and Mrs. Lilile Fosborg appeared in a debate last night In the T. M. C. A. Mrs. Fosherr took the stand that the economic problem Is to be solved not by the ballot, but by the or ganization of the various industries into one industrial union, which would ulti mately become stronger than the orsan l7d government. She tried to ehow that measures have been won by the combined effort of workers In various industries. In opposing this view. Sir. Mills pointed out that Industrial combinations could not acquire supreme pomer without first using what power the franchise affords at the present time. In elaborating on this question Mr. Mills advanced many of his well-known economiu ideas. Paul Richards a Refugee. LONDON. Jan. 9.

In the statement attention was di rected to the announcement of the Knox appointment, made on the day Mr. Taft arrived in Augusta, and to the statement by the Associated Press from Hot Springs.

A trip Into the "grand old days of the past" was the experience of the President-elect today. In being the guest of the Beech Island Farmers' Club of South Carolina at a reception or a barbeeue that tho club has held once a month without missing a month for nearly 70 years. The old darky. John Hanis, made the "cue" Just ex actly the same as be has been doing every month since "long before de wall." The plain old clubhouse, with Its holes In the roof and walls, has been a meeting place for the discussion of all questions as well as for the feasts, served in one of Its two rooms, for more than SO years. It stands alone on a beach, seven miles from Augusta and In and around it today were gath ered half a hundred farmers with a sprinkling of city folks. Invited from Augusta for the occasion.

If I nevah shake hands agin, I done It today." HESITATE TO ANGER CHINA Why Powers Decided Not to Protest Against Yuan's) Dismissal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 9. The predomi nating reason that lias Influenced the American and British Ministers at Pekin in abandoning their project for a protest by the powers against any disturbance of the present policy of the Chinese Gov ernment is believed here to be largely the delicacy which this Government lias felt in approaching the Chinese govern ment on this subject. It was difficult to anticipate how any representations along this line might be received, for It is realized that the Chinese are sensitive on any Intimations which convey the Impression that they are not capable of "managing their own affairs. There was a question also whether these would have been excusable, not withstanding the great Interests the gov ernments; 'particularly that of the United States, have In the preservation of peace In China and the maintenance of its progressive policy in view of the fact that there have been no serious results following Yuan's dismissal and no reac tionary tendencies have marked tne ad ministration of the Chinese government. Great reliance Is placed by the State Department In the appointment of Liang to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and it Is hoped that the influence that he may be able to exert may go far In pre venting any decidedly backward steps, at least so far as the foreign policy of China Is concerned. AY AN TED FIFTY MILLION'S Tang Shao Yi's Visit to America Not Entirely One of Friendship. CHICAGO. Jan. 9.

His hope, it Is believed, was to negotiate the loan in this country. The dismissal of Yuan Shi KaL'the Chi nese Grand Councillor, and the uncer tainty attending the future policy of China, in 'both internal and external ad ministration will, it is feared, render Im possible any headway along this line in the short period before Tang's departure home, following his recall. The Ambassa dor will have an Interview with President Roosevelt before starting for Europe. Some of his suite will accompany him on the return trip, while the remainder will go home by way of San Francisco. ' AVill Study American Commerce. - SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.
