THE SUNDAY O RE G O XI AX. PORTLAND, AUQUST 10. 1919. 11 POLITICAL UPHEAVAL FORESEEN IN IDAHO Party Realignments Expected if Railway Men Win Demand. PRIVATE CONTROL FAVORZD Statesmen Say Liberal-Conservative Lines Will Absorb All Politics Un-. less Food Price Is Reduced. BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 9. (Special.) Political leaders in Idaho have their eyes on "Washington now because of the possibility of a turn in the political tide, occasioned by the railroad brother hoods demand for tripartite control of the railroads. If such a plan should succeed, Idaho politicians declare they can see the passing: of the two old parties and the bringing into existence of new re alignments that eventually may create the conservatives and liberals parties not unlike the democrat and republi can, but with decidedly different views. They do not like the socialistic trend of things national and assert that the nation may be forced to divide into dif ferent camps, bringing republicans and democrats under the banner of both liberal and conservative. Federal Ownership DoabtM. If tripartite control of the railroads, representing an investment of $21,000, 000.000 can be accomplished, Idaho statesmen believe the principle 'can be extended to other big business which may be forced to come under the same alliance. The new demand of labor is looked upon as one of the most potent issues of the day. Leading men of both parties, as well as public men of this state, do not be lieve that it is possible to pat the pro gramme of government ownership of railroads through. However, they are closely watching Washington for de velopments. It is admitted by them that the prof iteering and the steady rise in the cost of all necessities of life has brought about an unrest in this country which must be met with the most constructive legislation that congress has been called upon to enact for many years. Mute Profits Are Blamed. They also admit that to a great ex tent the discrimination in railroad rates, the making of great profits which have been divided among the few and other practices which have been just as serious, is responsible for the de mand for government ownership. It Is their opinion the united brother hoods of railroad employes would have placed themselves in a stronger po sition if they had indorsed the Sims government ownership of railroads in stead of goTig farther and asking tri partite control. The programme for government own ership has never met with a very ready response ir Idaho. Neither has senti ment beeD strong among the people for state management or control of business enterprises. Non-fartiHan Failure Recalled. It waff for that reason, the Non partisan league which championed the issue met with such a disastrous de feat last fall. It is admitted by the leaders in both parties in this state that the trend among the laboring element is toward government ownership not only of the railroads, but such other, business en terprises as have to do with manufac turing and market control of foodstuffs. They also admit that backing to this programme is to be found among mem bers of the respective political parties. ' All are agreed that if foodstuffs can be reduced the danger of government con.rol will not be so great and labor will be satisfied.

Upon the recent visit the two had a good laugh at the way in which a letter written by Mrs. Wheeler followed the boy for many months around the world. Har vey was supposed to be in Dalmatia when the missive in question was start ed on its tour, but when it reached Spaliato the boy had gone into Russia, thence to England, France and Spain on many a long crui.e. Since Haydcn'i return to Bugen the letter, curiously postmarked and annotated by officials in wideiy remote countries, turned up at Brownsville, and Mrs. Wheeler had the opportunity of handing it to him personally.

Fish Boat Crew at Sand Beach Un- loJd 4 7 Cases of Whisky at Secluded Spot. WHEELER, Or., Aug. 8. (Special.) A comedy-drama was staged at Short Sand beach, an isolated spot between Cannon beach and Manzanita. recently. This stretch of beach, which is nearly inaccessible and is only one-half mile long, is deserted nine months of the year, but during the summer many hikers en route up and down the Ore gon coast camp there and spend some time fishing, hunting and searching for agates, which can b found there in large quantities in a cave which can be reached only at extreme low tide. A few days ago a fish-boat landed on the beach there -and members of the crew, after satisfying themselves that the place was deserted, unloaded and cached. It is said 47 cases of whisky. After carefully obliterating all sign of their visit they put to sea. Their mysterious action had been ob served, by a lone man who had watched them from a safe distance and after the departure of the boat he investi gated the cache and then proceeded to recache the treasure in a secluded place. It is whispered that le has been doing a flourishing business with many thirsty persons in th Nehalem valley. Due to the large supply and the haste in which this modern Captain Kidd had to dispose of his goods the price of the liquor dropped from J15 a quart to $7.50 to $10 a quart. If Special Session of Legislature Is Called Medford Men Will Ask Action. MEDFORD. Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) Thus far steelhead fishing in Rogue river has been the poorest on record asd local sportsmen are practically ' unanimous in- blaming the fish can neries at the mouth of the stream. Dozens of local fishermen testify that' the steelheads caught in many cases are marked by net cuts, and there is vehement demand for action. Letters of protest have been sent Roderick Macleay, owner of theanneries at the mouth of Rogue river; Governor Olcott and the state fish and game commis sion. The majority of . fishermen are in favor of initiating a constitutional amendment which will make fishing with anything but hook an4 line at the mouths of the Rogue and Willamette rivers illegal, and believe that such a measure would pass by a large ma jority. A bill restricting the mesh of seining nets was passed at the last ses sion of the legislature, but was vetoed by Governor Wlthycombe shortly be fore his death. Local fishermen believe trout fish ing should be protected and they main tain steelhead trout will soon disappear from the Rogue river unless salmon canneries at the mouth are eliminated. If a special session of the 'legislature should be called the delegations from southern and western Oregon promise to make a hard fight for a constitu tional amendment as above outlined.

Ex-Officers, if Possible, Would Be Put in Charge of Campaign for Conservation of Policies. OREGON AGRICXXTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis, Aug. 9. (Special.) The active co-operation of the college in the nation-wide effort for the con servation of war insurance on the part of soldiers, sailors and marines is sought by the treasury department. "We are requesting that an active campaign be inaugurated in your insti tution in the interest of insurance con servation," says Leon O. Fisher, assistant-director in charge of the in surance divisiion. In a letter to Presi dent Kerr. "The object sought is that the college men who so liberally gave their, services to their country may not, for lack of guidance, lose for all time the generous provisioins made by a grateful people for those who served it in war times. "While the object of the campaign in each instance is the reinstatement of every student policy taken, the method of procedure will of necessity not be the same in every institution. The bureau, therefore, leaves to you the de termination of ways and means. - We suggest, however, that once the cam paign is inaugurated It may be best in many cases that the active canvass be put in charge of a student committee, headed, if possible, by a former com missioned officer of the army or navy." Franz X. Arens Points to Orchard ist's Waiting Market in South America. HOOO RIVER. Or.. Aug. 9. (Spe cial.) Franz X. Arens, who is now spending a vacation on his middle val ley ranch, resides the most of the year in New York city, where he is director Of the People's symphony orchestra and conducts a vocal studio. But Mr. Arena never lets interest in his middle valley orchard lag. He frequently sallies forth from his musical surroundings and talks fruit-price prospects with Job bers and merchants. In this way he has become acquainted with some of the large exporting interests. "And the domestic jobbers and export ers, all," says Mr. Areas, "talk optimism at present. The outlook is bright and all apple growers are spending profits from last year's sales and anticipating better ones from the 1919 deal. Just before I left New York city I was told by a prominent shipper, who showed me a letter from South American connec tions, that northwestern apples were practically unknown in Argentina and other prosperous South American coun tries. Their apple trade is limited to a fruit the Spanish name of which when translated means 'dirty apples. "We hear a great deal of how hungry Europe is for American fruit, but we should not overlook the South American appetite." HIGH C0STBL0CKS WORK Administration Building of Idaho Soldiers' Home Waits. BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 9. (Special.) Because the last legislature failed to make an appropriation large enough to meet the extensive increase in the cost of building materials, it is not likely that the administration building of the soldiers' home in this city will be re placed this year. This building was gutted by Are almost two years ago. The legislature appropriated 140,000 to replace it. "When contractors sub mitted their bids to J. K. White, com missioner of public welfare.who has general supervision over the home, to replace the edifice it was found that all of them were several thousand dol lars over and above the appropriation. No contract could, therefore, be let. After All Nothing quite takes the place of a pure, sparkling diamond.

BROWNSVILLE, Or., Aug. 9. (Spe- j cial.) The editor of the Browns- I ville Times and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wheeler, recently received a visit fron Harvey Hayden, Eugene sailor-boy who has Just returned home after nearly five years in the service of Uncle Sam. The boy. In spite of his long service, is not yet 21, years of age. He is the son of Robert Hayden of Eugene. As a lad Harvey .ran away from home and entered the sea service at Mare island. This was some time be fore the beginning of the European war. The boy rose rapidly in the navy and Uncle Sam (tb.ve him two years of study in San Irrancisco, Uncle Sam will also help him finish his education at the University of Oregon. At the outbreak of the war with Germany Hayden was an experienced seaman. He was attached to the United States ship Olympia and made many a cruise through the submarine-infested waters.
