i - JV-aW Flood of Coffee.
The t Treasury officials view with dis
Mvoi the proposition to levy an import
dutyi oo..ofe.e. It is pointed out ' that
several milHOn bags of. high-grrade Bra
zilian coffee are now held in this coun
try and in some of the European centers
a security for loans made to one of the
lijazilirtn-. states and, should a duty be
imposed. 7."the coffee stored in Europe
would -be shipped into the . United States
before' the new tariff bill would become
operative. This vast quantity of coffee,'
estimated" to exceed 10.000,000 bags, is
said "to--eriia1 the entire exportation of
Brazilian coffee into the United States for
a -whole year. Thus, it is stated, instead
of the tax being a revenue producer, the
income for the first year , is likely to be
iil-sigriiflcant. -. .' .
' Ka 1st Cctst to ETerybody.
In the- brief which .It" submitted to the
whys and tneuns committee, the Xational
t'oft & Tea Association declared that
the proposed-tflx- -on coffee vr tea would
fail to produce any -material revenue to
the Government ior .nearly "-. two years
and iwould increase the- cost of these,
bevesages to every "lamlly from 4.60. to
per year. The' association . stated
that rthe present visible supply of coffee
lit the world amounted to about 16,000,000
bags,- of which 4,000,0u0 bags were stored
here .or were afloat in this country.
According to the. figures which the as
sociation submitted, a duty of 4 cents a
pound o.no(igWo.u4d mean an immedi
ate proiit of at least 5.a0 per bag upon
evary.-i4.in-the. United St.
profit of nearly ,000,000 to owners and
holders of. this coffee.
' How Tariff-Kramers Flgurei
As. an average of one billion pounds
of coffee is imported annually, the tar
iff r-framers figured that a duty of 4
cents. per pound would bring a revenue
to, the Government of nearly $38,000 000
annually. The importations that would
bo free of duty from Porto Kico and
Ha waii, .Which now amount to 40,000 -000
pounds, probably, would increase
with the protection afforded by this
duty.- The Philippines, which now
practically export no coffee, it is con
t,.ndeilWQuia. send considerable . cof
fee -to- this country if the suggested
tax-were not placed on ' their product.

Ashland Kditor Denies Move Against
O. A. C. Is Club to Gain Nor
mal School Votes.
ASHLAND, Or., March 13. (Special.)
The interview with E. D. Briggs in this
morning's Oregonian, saying referendum
petitions on the Agricultural College spe
cial appropriation bill are in circulation?
throughout Southern Oregon towns,
where 2500 signatures have been secured.
Is erroneous. E. J. Kaiser, who is hand
ling the petitions, said tonight:
"There are no petitions in circulation in
Jackson County outside of Ashland. and
tho total number of signatures in hand
are less than 1000. Briggs knows abso
lutely nothing about the petitions or the
parties throughout the Rtate that are
.moving in this matter. The petitions in
hand indicate that fully 85 per cent of
voters of Ashland will sign. If arrange
ments go as planned, petitions when
filed will be representative of all parts
of the state.
"The purpose is -not to defeat the ap
propriation or to hold a "club" over the
head of the present Legislature. The
purpose is to secure consideration of edu
cational issues In the next campaign,
and the Agricultural College special ex
tension bill is being pushed forward so
friends of the college will feel a mission
to go forth and explain to the masses of
the people why the state should educate
farmers.
. "The $210,000 special appropriation bill
Is merely hung up as the incentive to
go to work. Certain sections of this
state have either referended or killed
everything they had no immediate use
for, being -obscessed with the Idea the
commonwealth consisted entirely of one
class of workers. There Is seemingly no
influence in the state that can open the
minds of these people to a broader con
ception of all the elements that consti
tute a state. It is with the hope that the
Agricultural College., with a proper In
centive and 18 months' missionary work.
can leaven up the mass so it will be
prepared to receive suggestions. The
college is tne only Institution in the state
that has the ear of these otherwise use
ful and good citizens."

for a grand jury to meet Monday. April
to investigate the Jamieson charges
against Mayor Linck and Chief of Police
Duley in connection with the operation
of the restricted district, and to conduct
an inquiry Into municipal affairs in gen

A peculiar coincident in the drawing of
the names for the jury was the fact that
E. I. Salmson'a name was the first taken
from the box. Mr. Salmson was the prin
cipal opponent of Mayor Linck in the
primary election last Spring. Among
the other prominent men selected are
John S. Baker, vice-president of the

nomination of Mr. Cannon. Mr. Stener

for Speaker. Mr. Reeder of Kansas

Among those voting were four delegates
from territories. After the caucus had
adjourned. Representative McKlnley, of
Illinois, declared that fully 12 of the 34
absent members would be with the
"Regulars" when the vote on the previous
question was taken Monday. Thte would
give the "regulars" a total vote of 19
to 6. which would be one more than Is
necessary t6 defeat the 'insurgents." The
latter claimed tonight that they had
moro than the 24 necessary to vote down
the previous question.
Representative Murdock. of Kansas,
speaking for the Insurgents, after the
caucus, declared that the result of the
caucus tonight only served further to
encourage the insurgents. "We will vote
down the previous question on Monday,"
he said, "and the proposition that will be
presented to the House by our steering
committee will be adopted."
Loudenslager of New Jersey, secre
tary of the last caucus, called today's
meeting to order. As Colonel Hep
burn of Iowa was defeated for re-election,
there was no chairman to preside
until Currier of New Hampshire was
chosen.
Rodenberg Names Cannon.
To nominate Cannon, William A.
Rodenberg of Illinois was recognized.
His first reference to Lincoln and the
other great men of Illinois stirred the
members. He spoke of the proud privi
lege of presenting a candidate for
Speaker at this time, "when individual
Initiative Is assailed by the discordant
and destructive forces of Socialism."
"Illinois is Justly proud of her most
distinguished son," exclaimed Roden
berg as he approached the mention of
the name of Cannon. "We are -proud
of him. because in all the vicissitudes
of public life, in the storm and stress
and strife of political combat. In the
sunshine of victory and in the shadow
of defeat, he has ever stood, four
square to all the winds that blow."
With a declaration that his candi
date knew naught of expediency,
Rodenberg said that fidelity to prin
ciple was his religion, and loyalty to
honest conviction was the cardinal ten
et of his creed. His courage was de
scribed as that born of conscience,
originating in the loftiest conception
of public duty.
Rodenberg continued:
Continuously for more than a third of

Mr. Chairman and fellow Republicans:
I think you for the mark of your confi

so to conduct myself to the high office
for whioli you propose me as to further
tho oat interests of the United States
and merit your approval
We have before us a most difficult ses
sion. Tariff legislation is in a clas by
Itself, and from the standpoint of prac
tical legislation presents more dif'ieult
problims than any other kind of legisla
tion. A tariff bill is general in that It
affects the whole great subject of reve
nue; but at the same time it is private
and special in its nature, as It enters
every district and affects the products of
every farm and factory. The approaching
legislation, therefore, will bring with it
peculiar difficulties and unusual tempta
tions. Difficulties of Rc-vlaloB.
Whilo we must regard with solicitous
oare the interests of the people we repre
sent individually, we must, on the other
hand, bear constantly in mind that our
first duty is to the United States as a
whole, that Its revenues may be suffi
cient for its needs and that Us indus
trial ills may cor-tipue to flourish in the
future, under our care, as it has flour
ished in the past, under the distinguished
men wro have preceded us as trustees
under the Constitution.
The work before us will call for much

It is not only necessary that we do our
work well; it is essential that we do it
as quickly as is consistent with thorough

was purchased in New York City, and
is now on exhibition. The best-dressed
men in the City of Portland will be

THE inauguration of a furnishing
goods department is a new idea
for the SALEM WOOLEN
MILLS. It was brought about, how
ever, by the fact that if a man pur
chased his clothing from this company
it would be very convenient and quite
logical for him to feel inclined to make
.a selection of such things in the furnish-1
ing lines as he might be in need br at
the time. To this end, the furnishing
goods department has been placed un
der the supervision of Mr. E. H. Stone,
a buyer of considerable prominence and
splendid ability, which guarantees a
stock of peculiar attractiveness. The
prices in this department will be popu
lar at all times. A selection now guar
antees purchaser something decidedly
novel and not hitherto seen in this city.
