FRUIT MEN OPPOSE
INCREASE OF RATES
Higher Tariff, It Is Claimed,
Would Deal Heavy Blow to
Northwest Fruit Industry.
APPLE GROWERS APPEAL
Oregon, Washington and Idaho Are
Represented in Hearing Held
Before Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington.
iREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 11. That a horizontal In
crease of freight rates by 15 per cent,
as proposed by the railroads, would
deal a heavy blow to the Northwest
fruit industry, was demonstrated be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion at the recent hearing in Wash
ington, and the appeal of the spokes
men for the apple-growers was direct
'' ed to bring about a suspension of the
increase, pending a thorough Investi
gation. Much of the showing made by
the fruitgrowers was statistical In
character, showing the costs of fruit
production in Oregon. Washington and
other Northwestern states, coupled
with a showing of how the 15 per cent
increase would swell the burden which
they deem already so heavy as to make
the "infant industry" far from profit
able. The principal arguments made
were those of J. Curtis Robinson and
W. T. Clarke.
A combined statement of the Pub
lic Service Commissions of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho was filed with
the Commission by J. Curtis Robinson,
on behalf of the apple and other fruit
growers and the fruit canners. The
statement concludes:
"The carriers have submitted evi
dence of the increase in the cost of
materials and labor. As to these items
the fruitgrowers of the Northwest are
in a worse dilemma than are the car
riers, for they have no hold-over con-
tracts, they lack the credit of the rail
roads, and the materials which they
must use have greatly increased in
cost. While apples have a food value,
in stress of circumstances they might
not be classed a necessity. Thi3 un
certainty has an adverse influence af
fecting the credit of the apple-growers.
Iteply la Made to Railroads.
"The railroads propose an increase
in carload minimum of two tons on ap
ples. This will save to the carrier one
car in every eight, or 12 per cent in
their equipment, and increase car earn
ings 13.33 per cent. This increase
would save the carrier more than the
15 per cent asked.
"What has been said about apples
applies with even more force to the soft
fruits of the Northwest, such
as peaches, pears, prunes and other so
called early fruits, which have a less
marketing radius and a more limited
period for marketing than have apples.
"We desire also to call attention to
the fruit canning and fruit juice indus
tries of the Northwest, which have al
ready been subjected within the past 90
days to an increase of 10 cents per hun
dred and an increase in their mini
mum from 40,000 to 60,000 pounds, no
portion of this increase having yet
affected the earnings of the carriers as
submitted in this case.
"The increase on materials used, in
placing the fruit and juices in contain
ers for the markets has been still fur
ther advanced by reason of the carriers'
westbound increase upon the materials
such as tinplate, glass Jars, bottles and
other containers, which may result in
these industries being totally destroyed,
not only to theirs but to the fruitgrow
ers' injury.
"The dreams of the Northwestern
fruitgrowers while subduing the wil
derness have never been realized. Their
sturdy toil has not brought them 7 per
cent dividends, as has the stock of the
stockholders of the Union Pacific, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, plus a
substantial gain passed to profit. These
pioneers are now seeing their labors,
the noblest capital In the world, slowly
but surely passing into the hands of
the money-lenders. Shall the railroads,
by an increase in rates, speed, the pass
ing?"
W. T. Clarke, representing all the
fruitgrowers of the Northwest, made
an argument from the standpoint of
the orchardists, being one himself, and
intimately acaPafftaf TCe fruit idus.
lyy of the Northwest is yet too .young
to support additional burdens. Today,
he declared, 50,000 people in the North
west are growing apples, or dependent
upon that industry.
AUSTRALIA SENDING MEN
Enlistments Increase as Interest In
War Becomes Keener.
SYDNEY, Australia, June 1. Re
cruiting in Australia for the Australian
army on the western and other fronts
is showing' slow but appreciable im
provement over the figures of a few
months ago. Professor Ronald G. Mac
Intyre, of Sydney University, head of
the recruiting organization in the state
of New South Wales, says the figures
for the first three months of this year
show a total enlistment of 15,263 men.
Donald Mackinnon, director-general
of recruiting, said after a two weeks'
recruiting tour in New South Wales
and Queensland: "Interest in the war
Is much keener than it was two months
ago and the recruiting officers and or
ganizers are decidedly hopeful with
regard to the future. I found every
where I went that the people are. pre
pared to accept the facts as to the
meaning of the German submarine
campaign and as to the effect of fi
nancial pressure in Great Britain. But
while our reinforcements are increas
ing in number, they are still a long,
long way below requirements."
ALASKA PIONEER DIES
Captain Isaac Hubley Visited Out
sido Once In 5 0 Years.
1TNGA, Alaska, June 6 There died
recently at this, one of the far south
western ports of the territory, the
dean among the true Alaskan pioneers.
Captain Isaac Hubley, in his 79th year.
Other Americans may have been in
the territory a month or so longer
than the Captain, but none were so
true to the land of their adoption, for
In his 60 years of residence he visited
the "outside" but once and then he
made a voyage to the west coast on a
codfishing schooner, returning Imme
diately. Captain Hubleys experience in the
North was an exceedingly Interesting
one. He came first on the TJ. S. S.
Torrent,. which was sent North in 1S67
to establish a military poet at Homer,
on Cook Inlet. Beside the officers,
soldiers and their wives and children,
the vessel carried a number of horses,

PEOPLE OF DENVER PAY REAL TRIBUTE TO
MEMORY OF "BUFFALO BILL," NOTED COWBOY
Colorado Metropolis, Thriving City in Rockies, Turns Ont to Honor Plainsman When Body of the Late William
F. Cody Is Taken to Crypt in Fastnesses.
BT COLONEL E. HOFEE.
DENVER, Colo., June 16. (Special.)
"While Denver Is more of a com
mercial town. It has some large
manufacturing plants, like the Western
Chemical Company, which makes about
half the sulphuric acid in the United
States and enormous quantities of
concentrates. Three railroads have
shops and terminals here and a few
very high smokestacks pierce the sky.
Next to being commercial, the capital
being here makes it the pollticalcen
ter. Oil fields In Wyoming make Den
ver a center of oil speculation and de
velopment concerns. Just as mining
made it the Silver City of a former
generation.
The city has a splendid traction sys
tem and network of interurban lines,
managed by a former Portland utility
man. Frederick W. Hild. Strange as It
may seem, Denver Is on the upgrade as
a municipality and has no jitneys on
its broad streets and the people man
age to live.
Sight seeing In the surrounding
mountains is one of the great tfsrist
industries of Denver. The occasioi of
Buffalo Bill's official burial was the
occasion for thousands coming to the
city. At his own request the noted
Indian scout was buried on the top of
Lookout Mountain, and his body sleeps
in an Individual cemetery at an altitude
of nearly two miles.
DeiTer Shorn Growth.
We leave Denver at 11:30, cross
Cherry Creek, walled, parked and
bridged with concrete, for Golden, 14
miles west of the city. There the Colo
rado School of Mines is located. Also
the Reform School. We cross the
Platte River on a concrete bridge or
viaduct half a mile long on 60-foot
arches. The river is not much bigger
than Cherry Creek. Denver, by the
last census, had 266,000 population and
for the past few years has been hold
ing its own- It has overcome the
slump from prohibition, depression and
over-expansion, and real estate is
again becoming a marketable com
modity. The "buy-a-home" campaign
heralded with big electric signs by the
Denver Gas & Electric Cpmpany is not
falling on deaf ears. There are actual
sales and a little building and much de
mand for re'nting homes. There are
bigger crowds on the street and the
tramcars are not running empty so
much of the time in fact, are packed
with people compared to conditions a
year ago. After four years under a
five-commissioner form of government.
Denver has gone back to a Mayor and
nine Aldermen, ' one for each ward.
"Bob" Speer, who was Mayor twice be
fore, was "recalled." He has a repu
tation for building up the town, owns
a big slice of property and lays off
boulevards and parks to "beat the
band."
City Has 30O Parka.
Denver people who boost their city
say they have 300 parks, large and
small, city and suburban and mountain
parks connected with scenic boulevards.
One of these is Speer boulevard, four
miles out from the City Hall, hard
surface. The city has spent millions
on its pleasure grounds and drives. A
hard-surface road is building from
Denver to Golden. There are people
who curse Bob Speer as a crook and a
grafter In politics, but no one has ever
been able to make it stick. True he was
a poor man when he went Into politics
and is now worth a million, but he
made it by straight business. Other
people have made millions in Denver in

NEWS OF THE
Franklin High School Notes.
BY HELEN DUST AN.
GARRETT STELSEL, who will not
be at Franklin next year, was
pleasantly surprised by the members of
the Pep, Rooters and Philogonian clubs
Friday, June 8. The members of these
clubs congregated in his room on that
afternoon and presented him with a
loving cup. The presentation talk was
made by Clark Schoeboe, former presi
dent of the Philogonians and a promi
nent member of the Rooters and Pep
clubs. Schoeboe thanked Mr. Stelsel
for the personal interest he had shown
in the students of Franklin and for
the work he had done in organizing
alT",!''5.il!Sw to tot de
'club at Franklin, as well as the
Pep and Rooters clubs. He had charge
of the advertising work of the Post
and it was through his efforts that the
publication was a success. He took an
active interest in athletics.
On Tuesday afternoon the June, '17,
class issue of the Post was given out
to the student body. The biggest per
cent of the credit for the success of the
issue is due to Arthur Mackenzie, busi
ness manager. The material In the
cover is of an exceptionally high qual
ity. The cover is designed in yellow
and white, the official class colors.
One of the most Interesting features is
the number of attractive cuts. The
paper is dedicated to the parents of the
members of the graduating class.
The following members of the June,
'17, class will attend college next Fall:
Arthur Mackenzie, mechanical engi
neering at O. A. C; George Powell,
commercial, at O. A. C.; Stella Sullivan,
Journalism, at Oregon; Muriel Nichols,
English, at Reed; Lois Tomlinson, lib
eral arts, at the University of Southern
California; Hilmar Grondahl, science,
at Reed.
Among the many visitors at com
mencement was Thaxter Daniels, a
member of the Naval Militia, who is
stationed at Bremerton. "Hap" Bar
bour, Cecil Brown and "Shrimp" Post
also came down from Bremerton.
Several Franklinltes took Mr. Bilk
worth's fine auto trip Saturday. The
party went up the Columbia Highway
as far as Eagle Creek. The following
made the trip: George Powell. Art
Mackenzie. Clark Schoebel, Clifford
Reed, Herman Sharkey, Lois Tomlin
son, Edith Davis, Kate Mackenzie, Ed
na Gibert and Virgil Rectoeyl.
Another delightful trip was taken
out the highway by the following
Franklinltes, the party being In charge
of "Doc" Stelsel and "Bud" Cayo, and
Dan Gage was official chauffeur. The
other members of the party were Mora
Williams, Meba Webster, Francis Neff,
Maybelle Crawford and "Ebs" Barbur.
...
Verne Isom, a student at Franklin
and a member of the Portland Sym
phony Orchestra, favored the June, '17,
class and their parents and friends
with a violin solo. His offering was
met with a great deal of favor and
was repeatedly encored.

Multnomah Campfire Girls enjoyed a
picnic at Washington Park June 9.
During the evening the girls were en

less straight- But when a city is run
so close to the wind that no contractor
can make money and no politician can
get a rakeoff it soon dies of dryrot and
hypocrisy.
As an example of this. Bay v City,
Mich., ran out all street contractors
and municipal jobbers, and they went
to Flint and made that town- Flint has
doubled in five years and is ahead of
Bay City that a few years ago was
twice as big as Flint. Bay City put in
a paving plant and allowed no one to
make a dollar of profit I
San Francisco and Los Angeles that
have been notorious for extravagance ,
and jobbery have grown like weeds in
the past ten years, while cities that are
models of municipal moderation and
civic purity have stood still. It is the
American way of doing municipal
business no graft, no growth.
People Back of Mayor.
So the people "recalled" Bob Speer a
year ago, under whom Denver grows,
everybody hopes to make money and
the people have given him almost un
limited power, preferring one boss to
five commissioners all trafficking with
each other and several of them not
even taxpayers.
Golden is a place of nearly 10.000,
county seat of Jefferson County. It is
six miles to the top of Lookout Moun

Rocky Mountains to the western slope.
The town is at the base of the moun
tains and the end of the electrio line.
All was In gala dress, motor-buses
were ready to take you the ten-mile
trip up the mountain and back for
$1.60. I thought I would like the walk
and took it. The "better classes" went
up in private cars, the multitude by
Jitney and some hoofed it.
Buffalo Bill's home was at Cody,
Wyo. But he died at Denver. His
body lay in state and more people
viewed his remains than any man who
was ever buried here. Many who wanted
to see the body could not have the
privilege last January.
Cody "Toiing" at 72.
Buffalo Bill was getting gray 25
years ago. He died a comparatively
young man. as he was only 72. His ill
ness and death were covered by a few
weeks. Before that he was apparently
as well as ever. He was a man of ro
bust constitution and might have lived
to be 100 but for the endless lionizing,
toasting and banqueting he had to en
dure. He believed he had entirely re
covered and it was so published. The
middle of the first week in January he
went to Glenwood Springs and in a few
days returned to Denver. The doctors
at the springs told him there was no
show for his recovery and the Denver
doctors said the same. He died on
Wednesday, January 10, 1917. They
called it uremic poisoning, the same
affliction that got Jack London.
We took a short out across the bench
by the old Chimney Gulch trail and up
the canyon by the same name to Wild
cat Point, a great crag of granite sur
rounded by a grove of black and yellow
pines and firs. The canyon was mu
sical with the sound of rushing waters
and perfumed with wild plum trees in
bloom. The sides of the mountains
were decorated with flowers. Up in the
sky towered the rocky structure of the
ages where will rest the remains of
the hero of Indian massacres and wild
West memories dear to all Americans.
It Is pleasant to think that nature's
music and the sweet incense of flowers
will always be wafted to that shrine
of Buffalo Bill.
As you go up the mountain varieties
of flowers increase. There were blue

The Girls' Glee Club sang "The Danc

ject of Mr. Plttman's address was "The
Graduate." The members of the class
were given a heart-to-heart talk and
they were given to understand that
they could not go out into the business
world on what they had learned, but
what they could actually do. Mr. Pitman
also emphasized strongly the change
in attitude of the people towards dif

in the attitude of the teacher towards
the pupil. Another important thought
in his address was that a battle was
not won after the victory was won, but
when the preparation for that battle
was completed.

wearing their white aprons and sprigs
of evergreen. Hundreds of Masons
from Denver were in attendance and
assisted in the ceremonies. Blue Lodge
Masons in two ranks formed a circle
about the grave, numbering hundreds
and extending completely around the
rim of the mountain top. At the con
clusion the National colors were run

The June 1917 class made an unusual
record during the past year. Out of
a class or 148. 48 were first honor nu
plls. Considering Its size, the June
1917 class had a larger percentage of
ursi nonor pupils man any other class
ever graduated from the Lincoln High
ocnooi.
It was announced at the commence
ment exercises Tuesday evening that
the $200 scholarship, raised mainly
from the proceeds of the book
exchange and also by the February
1917 and the June 1917 classes, had
been awarded to William Kessi. TTie
scholarship is for the University of
Oregon. William Kessi was one of the
best students of the June class and
was a candidate for editor of the-Car
dinal In the election held last June.
The decision as to whom the scholar
ship should be awarded was made by
the following committee, composed of
members of the faculty: Miss Mary
n. .iioore, chairman; Miss Ruth Rounds.
Miss Laura H. Northup and Miss Leona
L. Larrabee.
The June 1917 class held Its class
