Other boys told Meluk, he says, that the stranger of . a iri,oi a ride and the boy declined. The farmer then stepped down from his seat, lifted the lad up beside him and drove on with his arm around the boy, whipping his horses Into a fast pace as he went. The abductor told the rest of the boys, who were too astonished to follow, that he would show Eitel hie vegetable gardens. "My son Is big and sturdy for his age" says Meluk, "and although he probably could not cope with a gown man who tried to keep him a prisoner, he could do a pile of work in a day, and would certainly Bave his captor the wages of a farm hand." The forces of the sheriff of Hennepin County will co-operate with the police In the search for the boy. LIVING COST IS ONLY $8.77 Minnesota Board- Analyzes Report of Expenses of Working Women.

REFORM SLOWLY. ADVICE University's Duty Is to Examine "Proposed- Changes, Says Lodge. CAMBRIDGE, Masa, June 2J. Exist ing problems, social and governmental, "must find their solution through a knowledge of the past and a cool judg ment of the present." United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge told the members of the Harvard Alumni Asso ciation in his address as presiding of ficer at the annual meeting. Mr. Lodge said, in part: . "Just now we have with us one of the recurrent periods when the world is filled with reforms, largely destruct ive and punitive in character, gener ally of that most attractive kind which aims at making some one other than ourselves'virtuous by process of law. There is all about us a widespread de sire to elevate the moral or material condition of others. To all such prop ositions the university must give ad mission for purposes of study. The university must look upon them with attention and examine them, not mere ly in roseate kIow of enthusiastic hope, but by the cold, clear light of the past. before she decides that they are fit for the ordeal of the future and will prove a benefit to mankind. "The university must not in its eagerness to be in sympathy with the present, which Is so evanescent tnat some philosophers deny its existence; forget that the future is built upon the nast and that a house without any foundation is more unstable even than the one which rests upon the shifting sands. "Just now, to take a very present ex ample, it is the fashion to assail the Constitution of the united states. Be fore we overthrow the Constitution, it well to understand It, to know its principles, to learn Its history, to de termine whether the changes proposed represent progress or a return to earlier and rejected forms upon which the Constitution made a great advance. "These questions are not to be set tled by wild denunciation of existing wrongs, all curable by law under the Constitution, If curable at all by gov ernment action; still less can they be settled by appeals to an unknown fu ture. They must find their solution through a knowledge of the past and a cool Judgment of the present." SEVELT IS PICKED TARIFF REFORMER TAKES LOOK AT J916 FIGHT. Head of Lemsrne Out With Early Sum- narr of Campaign Issues to Be Uppermost. WASHINGTON. June 25. Isaac Law rence of New York, president of the American Tariff Reform League, an or ganization that has become a power In Democratic politics, nas aaaressea a communication to Chairman McCombs, of the National Democratic Committee, in which he declares what will be the issues of 1916. The members of Congress supposed they were making the Issues In the leg islatlon passed, but Mr. Lawrence states them otherwise. He puts the whole brunt of the campaign on the demand for freedom from a reactionary const! tution. Mr. Lawrence says: "In 1916 the issues will be as fol lows: Freer trade, the trusts, yellow and black peril, anti-imperialism and a general revision of the federal legisia tion. The last will be the paramount issue, for the reason that the mainten ance of a white civilization ana its twin issue, woman suffrage, are im possible under the present retroactive Federal legislation. There can be no real progress under the present condi tions, for the reason that It is estopped by nonprogressive Federal legislation The United States Senate is an object lesson at the present time, with no cloture rule, as a second American House of Lords. The courts, on the other hand, bave usurped the legislative powers by reading their own laws Into legislative enactment under the guise of interpretation. The whole super structure as to the Federal legislation is reactionary and it should be revised from start to finish and progressive legislation adopted. Our Federal laws should bave the same nonreviewable force as an act of Parliament. Mr. Lawrence also discusses the per sonnel of the 1916 struggle. "The candidates," he said, "will be Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft," Of Roosevel he said: "Roosevelt will hold his over more than 4,000,000 votes of 1912, and will take away more than 1,500,000 votes from the Democratio party If he Is al lowed to appropriate Democratic doc trines and policies in 1916. and will be elected. If Colonel Roosevelt In 1916 succeeds In stealing the yellow and black perils' issues away from the Democratic party that issue alone will elect him. The New York Progressives, he be lieves, will nominate Roosevelt for Gov ernor in order to shut the reactionaries out of their party. The Republicans, strong and militant, will nominate Hedges for Governor and pass up Whit man. The Democrats, he insists, must nominate Governor Glynn, who, for Lieutenant-Governor in 1912, polled 16,000 more votes than Wilson In New York. He suggests Hennon Metz, Cleveland H. Dodge, William Church Osborn or Chairman McCombs for Sen ator. WHEAT TRADE HALTS Buying and Chartering Are Temporarily Stopped. WEAKNESS ABROAD REASON European Buyers Withdraw From Market, Owing to Gloomy Crop Outlook in America Foreign Prospects Are Normal. t now heavy, and there is some pressure to sell country creamery. The egg market is very firm on can died stock, and the best selected eggs bring 26 cents. Buyers are slow In taking hold of uncandled eggs, owing to the heavy shrinkage.

Wheat buying in the country, as well as chartering, have been brought to a stop by the unsatisfactory condition of the distant wheat markets. With Liverpool prices declining almost daily and Chicago showing an extreme loss for the week of over iht cents, dealers here -considered It time to call a halt. Buyers in Europe have withdrawn from the market and for three days have re fused to quote prices of any kind. A few exporters on this side offered cargoes at concessions, which only made matters worse. Therefore, trad ing operations in the Northwest have been suspended temporarily, until the situation clears and prices are settled at some definite basis. Farmers have watched the course or the market and In view of the gen eral sagging tendency during the week, some of them have become apprehen sive and have been sounding buyers, but others are holding back, hoping that when wheat is ready for market there will be a turn for the better. The little buying that was done during the last half of the week was for July delivery, and It was sam yes terday that more was obtainable at 7879 cents. No satisfactory quotation can be obtained on September-October wheat. In some quarters, 77 cents Is advanced as a probable price. Business in oats and barley, both future and spot, la limited. No new crop sales of flour have been re ported, but there are rumors from the sound of some export orders for old flour having been received. The foreign wheat outlook appears about normal, according to a report Issued by the Department of Agricul ture, which says: "Throughout the Continent of Europe wheat seems in general to have made the progress toward maturity to be xnected at this season. In the TJnlteo. Kingdom the former line prospect was reported in late May as wen main tained, though cool weather was then retarding growth and rain was needed in tome places. "The total area under Winter and Spring wheat In France on May 1 has been officially returned as 16,045,000 acres, as compared with 16,175,000 acres last year and 16,179,000 in 1912. The month of May was characterized by violent changes of weather, and it is now realized that a satisfactory out come of the French crop depends upon continuous favorable weather until after harvest. "In Spain. Italy and Portugal the ripening grain gives general promise of bountiful yields, excepting- in South ern Italy, Sardinia and Sicily, where drouth is said to have seriously tpur talled the output. The states of north central and south central Europe, as a whole, report pros pects about normal. Germany and Austria vegetation is somewhat back ward, because of dry and cool weather, but no actual damage has resulted. In Hungary the former discouraging out look for a full crop snows oonsioer able improvement and in Roumania the fears aroused by a prolonged drouth bave been dissipated by gen eral rains. The Roumanian wneat area has been officially returned at 4,832,000 acres, compared with 4,011,000 acres in 1913 and 5,114,000 in 1912: a fair yield on the present acreage now seems assured. The scant reports from the Balkan States indicate conaitions of growth differing in no important respect from those of ordinary years. A semi-official report irom rtussia states that the condition or winter wheat there was 'good' In 66, and Spring wheat 'good' In 65 out of 72 governments. .iie in May copious rain fell in nearly all districts; tne benefit to crops, which In some places were bearlnninar to show the effects of drouth, was inestimable." DECLINE Uf WATERMELON P KICKS Fruits of All Kinds Clean Vp Well Lemons Temporarily Easier. . Fruit stocks cleaned up In good shape yesterday, as, with the warmer weath er, the demand Improved. Among the arrivals was a mixed car or water melons and casabas. The melons will be put on sale to morrow at 12 cents per pound, and the casabas at $2.25 a dozen. A car of bananas also arrived. The reg ular banana train Is due Monday. The steamer brought up the usual hinment of lemons, but few oranges. Lemons have been going slow because of the high price and weatner conai tions, but the market is firm at the other end and a warm spell here would restore the old price. Cantaloupes were firm at ii.ia ior annnd rine stock. New apples were received from Eastern Oregon and of fered t (1 a half box. Eastern Ore- j gon peaches were In heavier supply, but they were mostly smaii. fornla peaches and plums were un- changed. Bartiett pears irora New castle will arrive this week. Berries were in moderate supply and cleaned up at steady prices. A shipment of fine tomatoes arrived from the south and they were put on sale at J1.50. The California onion market is higher, and red and yellows have been advanced to $3.25 locally. OREGON HOP MARKET IS BLOvaKD Farmers Not Dieposed to Sell New Crop at 13-Cent Basis. There was no change In the hop market situation at the close or tne week. The market was practicany blocked as there were orders for the new crop at 16 cents, but growers were not disposed to sell. Spot hops were not offered on the market. Crop conditions in isew lorn state are given by the Watervllle Hop re porter as follows: "Tne weatner continues levi able for the vine, which is making an excellent growth. A majority of the yards are being very carefully culti vated and present a fine appearance. Growers are anticipating a large crop and are evidently doing everything possible to produce a good yield. Some slight traces of the blue mold are in evidence and growers are warned to keep a close watch on it in order that the sulphur may be applied early if found necessary. As yet, however. It has not been found in a sunicient amount to warrant any feeling of alarm."

NEW YORK,'. June 27. The stock market fell Into the doldrums again today. Business during the two-hour session amounted to about 70,000 shares. Prices of representative shares were lifted fractionally above the previous day's closing quotations and sentiment was more cheerful. Technically, the market denoted a strong undertone, and traders for the short account, with that fact In mind, have become tncreas- ngly wary. Prices at the close were firm. St. Paul was strongest of the representative shares, and May Depart ment Stores was prominent in the spe cial group, with an advance of m. The actual cash loss of the clearing house banks was much in excess of all estimates, aggregating over $12, 000,000, which is a trifle more than the week's gold withdrawals. Bonds were Irregular, with a loss of two points In Rock Island debenture fives. Total sales, par value, were $780,000. Panama 2s declined one-fourth per cent on call during the week. The financial district had some pre vious knowledge of the situation of the H. B. Claflin Company, but the shock of the receivership was pro nounced. Special causes were recog nized, such as the transition In meth ods of business with consequent ex cess of credit needs and shifting of trade centers. These could not ob scure the significance of the failure as an index of slackness of trade. Abandonment of rescue measures by the powerful interests, which had pre viously supported the house as a cit adel of dry goods credit, shook con fidence In the commercial revival. which had begun to result from abundant crop promise and the Ions period of abatement from demand. The wide distribution of holdings of the notes Involved among banks through out the entire country suggested prudent waiting to know the effect on general credit Oold exports mounted again In spite of the week's opening predictions that the movement had already waned. All great foreign centers showed heavy ac cretions of gold holdings, but their terms for discounts war firmly held. The outcome of the coming French loan flotation thus remains in sus pense. Relief from the lockup or for eign capital is believed to hinge large ly on this operation. It la this whion has been forcing American securities home market. Poor steel and copper trade advices added to the depression. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by 3. C. Wilson Co., Lewis building, rortiana. ttrong. 60-day bills .5 0: damns. M 87. eu.
