The Dalles, Or March 2. As was
expected by politicians and othere who
are familiar with the sentiment pre
dominating among Wheeler county re
publicans, the county coventlon held at
Fossil ' today -. resulted In a distinct
triumph for the friends of ex-Congxess-amn
M. A. Moody. Misleading- reports
to the effect that Wheeler county had
practically declared for Congressman J.
N. Williamson "gained currency some
days ago and among-the uninitiated it
was taken for granted that Williamson
would have a walk-over In the pri
maries and convention. The proceedings
.today demonstrated -that the, delegates
" were In a mood "to'teWMtrthw gratuttotw
misrepresentations of their attitude to
wards, the two congressional candidates
And the temper of the convention was
very clearly displayed In the following
resolution which was adopted with ap
plause: ( '.'

of this county In both conventions with

has never been any sentiment in this
convention in favor of committing the

form of instructions we emphatically
disapprove of the published statements

Astoria, Or., March 26. Columbia
river salmon packers are now deploring
the fact that their .pack last season wan
not, greater. The market is in tip-top
shape afhd there is not a can of Chinook
or sockeye salmon to be had from first
hands. For months, so packers mourn
fully declare, they have been unable to
provide any salmon for their customers,
and the trade looks to Alaska fish and
the poorer qualities from all coast
points for transactions.
The Journal correspondent has it on
the very best authority that there has
been demand for fully 160,000 cases of
Columbia river salmon more than was
packed last season, and that fully as
much additional sockeye salmon could
be disposed of. The new season will
start off without a case of the better
grades of fish on the market, insuring
high prices for the pack of 104.
During the past two months trade
has been brisk in Alaska fish of all
kinds, and the Alaska Fishermen's
Packing company of this city has quite
recently sold a very large block of its
pack at the best figures quoted this
season. One remarkable feature of the
situation Is the unique effort of some
of the broker In the large eastern cen
ters to quote prices of their own mak
ing, far below the actual selling prices.
As a rule, the Alaska concerns keep
their own stocks pretty well under con
trol, and are not aubtect to the manlpu
lationa of the brokers. 3. K. Armaby,
one of the most extensive salmon brok
ers In the country, persists in quoting
Alaska pinks at SO cents a dozen, when
as a matter of fact, the selling price is
60 and 65 cents a dozen. Armsby's quo
tations on chums is 87 cents, while
the actual selling price is (0 cents. A
large block of pinks was sold this week
at Astoria for 60 cents.
The demand for pickled (or cold
storage) salmon has also been brisk,
and the announcement is made that all
of the pack has been disposed of. The
1803 output of pickled and frozen fish
was the greatest in the history of the
fishing industry, and timid packers
feared the market would be glutted.
However, the last carload of pickled
salmon was sent away during the week,
the price having been, 14 cents a pound,

Oregon City, March 24. W. W.
Smith, water pallff for the state ffsh
commission. Is having ' some exciting
chases on the Clackamas river. The
fishermen are, beginning to try their
luck with the salmon in defiance of the
law and Mr. Smith has received In
structions from State Commissioner
Van Dusen to patrol the river carefully
until the 16th of next month, when the
fishermen will have the privilege of
fishing. Last night Baliff Smith had
an exciting, chase and caught the -offender,
but ,4 here were no fish-in his
possession and he was allowed to go.
Smith has been watching the river for
four years and in that time has had
many thrilling chases and captures. '

The .primaries held in ' Gilliam and

couragement to the advocates, of .the
Moody cause. In-both counties a ma
jority of the Moody candidates at-the
primaries won out handily and the ap
proaching cotmty. conventions will be
entirely in their control. . .
One of the strongest tributes to Mr.
Moody is the outcome of today's pri
maries in Crook county, the home of J.
N. Williamson. In the northern half of
the county, the only portion sending in
returns as yet. the Moody delegates
carried the day without great, exertion.
Even in Prlneville. where Williamson
has resided for yeara and which em that
account has been regarded as his par
ticular bailiwick, the delegation to the
county convention will be divided.'

Straight Ticket May Be Warned.
The Democratic county committee has
fixed April as the day for the county
convention, and the citizen's committee
has set the same day for the holding
of the citizen convention, if there is
to be a citizen convention this year.
The committee talked over the matter
of a straight ticket, but decided to
make no recommendations. The mat
ter was passed up to the county con
vention, which is scheduled to assemble
at 1 o'clock. If the Democrats decide
to put a straight ticket in the field,
the citizen convention will never mate
rialize, but if it is decided that the old
time movement shall again be attempted
the Democrats will adjourn after se
lecting i state and congressional dele
gates and reassemble as citizens. The
straight ticket sentiment is pronounced,
and the leading men of the party are de
termined to ny the true colors this year.

RURAL TELEPHONES
FOR BENTON COUNTY
(Special Dlipatch to Tbe Journal.)
Corvallls, March 26. At the court
house yesterday afternoon occurred a
meeting that was of vital Interest to
those in Benton county who are agitat
ing the rural telephone matter. Many
farmers were present aa well as local
residents, and enthusiasm waa the or
der, of the day.- An effort was put on
foot for an Independent line in Cor
vallls, with connections with rural
lines, ,
At the meeting Offers from the Pa
cific States company, the Empire Con
struction company and one by a Kan
sas City company, represented by W.
De Varney, were submitted. The Pa
cific 'States' offer was to the effect that
farmers should build and equip their
own lines and pay S6 per year for
switching, if they rent phones, -and $2
per year If they buy and own their own
Instrument
Two offers were submitted by F. H.
Stow. The first proposition nuggested
the organization of a company, Mr.
Stow to own. half of the stock, and a
complete system to ,be built in Cor
vallls, with rates at 11 per month for
residences, with only two phones on a
party line; farmers to build and keep
up their own lines, owning their instru
ments, and to pay $2 per year for city
and rural switching.
The second offer of Mr. Stow was on
the mutual benefit basis, that gentle
man to be manager of the 'company, .
Mr. De varney's offer was to form a
company with 17,500 capital stock, 50
CorvalllS' citizens to take CO shares at
25 each, Mr. De Varney'a company to
carry tbe balance pf the stock, with
rates to city subscribers to be the
same as the Pacific States company's
offer, .and rates to rural patrons not
to exceed $2 per month nor to be less
than tl per -month for each rural line,
the cost to be pro rated equally anppng
subscribers on said line, Mr. De Var
ney to serve as company manager, with
out salary. t ,. i i
The report by the board of directors
showed a preference for the De Var
ney offer. Features of it they said,
seemed more convenient to meet certain
conditions in this city. ,The matter
was referred to tne board of directors,
with instructions to canvass for stock
and perfect plana for installing a new

Portland, Or., March 26-To the
Editor of The Sunday Journal The

24, adverted editorially to an . article
over my signature replying to one of
the dregs of bigotry,, ignorance and
conceit to whoso tastes and the tastes
of his kidney,, the anti-Irish organ, the
Morning Oregonldn. is pleased to pan
der to in its cheap and puny. attacks on
tne Celtic, Irishman, and denies my
proposition that England was responsi
ble for the famines in Ireland. -
My reasons for not replying in the antl-
Irlsh ore-fMi. th- Mnminir rirernnlArt. am
fourfold: First, because it would be lm-
poslble to say when it would be printed,
if printed at all; second, because it would
be "edited" to suit the prejudicial relish
of the cunctatlve hack 'who bows and
smirks to the ' anti-Irish sentiment;
third, 1 because in my opinion no self-
respecting Irishman would contribute
to the columns of the antt-Irlsh organ,
the' Morning Ore gen tan, after Ita ; last
St Patrick' day display, of vicious
falsification, and fourthly, because the
Oregon Journal" though adopting a
policy of detachment in matters reltg
ious and racial, nevertheless,-Jias shown
awmigium.atrmlr--uw triimam-
f airly, and above all, not misrepresent
him, and It is for this last reason that
I seek space in your paper, . -" .
The direct caused of -the famines in
Ireland were due partly to the English
penal law, of which Dr. Johnson says;
-mere is no instance, even in the 10
persecutions, of such severity as that
which the Protestants of Ireland bave
exercised against the Catholics," and
partly to the damnable commercial
legislation of the : English parliament
against Ireland.1
Among this legislation are the laws
forbidding Catholics ' from lending
money in mortgages in land which, ac
cording to Lecky, "considerably dimin
ished the amount of capital expended in
agricultural improvements;" the pro
hibition of the Importation from Ire
land to England of cattle, sheep, swine,
beef, pork, bacon, butter and cheese; the
navigation act, prohibiting colonial
trade with Ireland, and of. this act
Swift has said of "oommerclal .- Ireland,
that she was like a man shut up in a
dungeon; the act destroying the woolen
industry of Ireland, of which Lecky
says,; "ended the fairest promise Ire
land had ever known of becoming; a
prosperous and. happy country;" the de
struction of the Irish linen manufac
ture; and an attempt to prohibit all
fisheries on the Irish coast except' by
boats manned and built by Englishmen.
All this had the effect of ruining: the
Irish trade and of throwing an immense
section of the Irish people back on an
already overcrowded soil, to become the
victims of rack rent the habitues of
miserable hovels and the pitiful evi
dences of hunger and want To what
straits they were reduced may be
gleaned from what Sheridan wrote in
1728: "The poor are sunk to the lowest
degree of misery and poverty their
houses dunghills, their victuals the
blood of their cattle, or the herbs of
the field."
As a result of this mlsgovernment
came the famines of l?39-'40 and 1741.
Swift describes, the scene thus: "The i
old and sick are every day dying and
rotting by cold -and famine and fllth-and
vermin. The younger laborers cannot
get work, and consequently pine away
for want .of nourishment to a degree
that if at any time they are accidentally
hired to common labor, they have not
strength to perform It" Space forbids
numerous other like quotations at hand.
Suffice that from 173 to 1741 one-fifth
of the entire population of Ireland per
ished from famine or attendant diseases
as the direct result - of the legislation
and mlsgovernment above set out Is it
necessary for me to state that England
made any serious attempt to resusci
tate the industries of Ireland from 1741
to 1845 T Is It necesary for me to aay
that England made any attempt to re
lieve the congested soil districts except
to drive the starving tenantry into the
bogs to make room for grazing and
fattening cattle during the same period T
.now comes the anti-irisn orgaiv the
Morning Oregonian, on. March 24 last
and alleges: "Economic and industrial
Ignorance; the persistence of the people
In placing their aole reliance upon, the
potato crop, made famine certain when
the potato rot came. The same variety
of crops that was practiced In compara
tively barren Scotland would have saved
Ireland from the horrors of famine.
England may be Justly held responsible
for much mlsgovernment in Ireland,
but she can hardly be held responsible
for the Irish famine."
My honest opinion is that this at
tempt to compare the Scotch peasant
with the Irish peaaant at this time, is
not a newspaper slip, not ignorance of
all history, but a palpalby willful per
version of the facts In order to sup
port a rotten hypothesis.
With respect to the economio and In
dustrial Ignorance of the Irish people
and their persistence in placing their
sole ". reliance upon the potato crop, in
the words of the anti-Irish organ, and
apart from the fact that there was
nothing else to place reliance upon, I
quote the testimony of an eye-witness
of the famine of 1845, Mr. A. M, Sulli
van, from chapter alz of his book "New
Ireland:" -'y:- ''. .
The potato crop of 1848 promised to
be the richest gathered for many years.
suddenly, in one short month, in one
week it may be said, the -. withering
breath of a simoon seemed to sweep the
land, blasting all In Its path. I myself
whole tracts of potato growth
changed In one night from smiling
luxuriance to a shriveled and black
ened waste." So much for the Indus
trial Ignorance, economics and persist
ence. Now let us place the respons
ibility for the awful consequences of
mlsgovernment I quote from the same
authority in the same chapter: "In Oc
tober, 1846, the Irish mansion house
committee Implored the government to
call parliament together and open the
ports. The government refused. Again
and again the terrible urgency of the
case, the magnitude of the disaster at
hand was pressed on the executive. It
waa the obstinate refusal of Lord John
Russell to listen to these remonstrances
and entreaties and the sad verification
subsequently of these apprehensions
that Implanted in the Irish mind the
bitter memories which still occasionally
find vent in passionate accusation tf
England. I doubt If tbe world ever aaw
so huge-a demoralization, so great a
degradation, visited upon a once high
spirited and sensitive people." Of the
testimony of the Irish patriot Sullivan.
and the testimony of the anti-Irish
organ, the - Morning Oregonian, the
reader may choose which is true, f
Sir R. Blennefhassett in his "Bel am
of Victoria," ssys: . .
'The famine ' and plague of 4l-'47
was accompanied and succeeded by a
wholesale clearance of congested dis
tricts and by cruel evictions turned out
their tenants by regiments. It is abso
lutely necessary to bear this in mind if
we would Judge of the 'Intense hatred
which prevails amongst - ths Irish In
America to Great Britain."!
The death list of the famine of 48-
47 was 886,868, and a total death list
of one million and a half In the two
periods mentioned herein.
Just so long as Irishmen are not able
to agree amongst themselves. Just so
long may they expect suoh anti-Irish
organs aa tne Morning oregonian to in
sult tnera with impunity.

Portland, Or., March 23. To the Edi
tor of The Journal Dear Sir: Please
permit me the space in your next Sun
day's issue for the following: -First
What is a. "fallen woman"?
fallen woman la a woman who has1 been
degraded by that mean, low, contempt
ibie wretcn unworthily called a man.
Second What is a "fallen man"?
fallen man is a disreputable, cowardly
cur who makes a business of ruining
virtuous girls - who are cast upon the
world to care for themselves. ' And yet
this same man can enter- society; with
his fine clothes and smooth tongue, and
pass las a gentleman. ' What about-the
girl? She cannot1 step on the street-let
alone society' but the finger of shame
isipolnted at her; she la ahunned while
he is : praised ;: : she ; must raink Into ob-
TmoTC-'Tno-i-oner- know heri r her former
friends forsake her, ahe Is an outcast
and must aeek other acquaintances. Con
sequently the end Is what? A house
of shame. -i,;;,' vy'v :,:.vii .!,.
What about the man? With his money
and fine clothing he needs no character
he is rapidly rising In society. Well,
at last he . consents to leave his fast
life and become a Christian, - and the
church thinks it has won a great-vic
tory, no matter how bad his naat has
been, no matter how many girls he has
degraded. - He Is welcomed with . Open
arma - , ": ' ;, v--- :- -,
What kind of a reception does the girl
receive if ahe seeks to enter the church.
She la frowned upon she Is not wanted
the church regards her as a pestilence.
She la -either rejected or sent to the
rescue home or slum mission. - At the
home she ia still an outcast; she has no
Christian fellowship, no Christians come
to see her. ahe has very little Christian
encouragement and is Invited to visit no
Christian home. At the mission she
meets a few Christians who go once In A
while . to ease their conscience. She
hears singing by a cracked voice ac
companied by a wheezy old organ, and
listens to a few remarks by a listless,
uninteresting- speaker. While the
Christians and her destroyer are attend
ing their fashionable church, elegantly
furnished, listening to - an .-eloquent
speaker and the very beat music, , she
Is barred. No wonder ahe become dl
gristed and perchance returns to the old
life as a refuge. - -- - -
Ah. how many there are who' would
abandon their downward course if the
church would only help them I The
church can raise money for foreign mis
sions and send' missionaries to foreign
countries to save, the heathen., But it
does not seem to be able to make the
slightest effort to save the hundreds of
fallen American girls in our own cities
who would gladly leave their .life of
shame If the ohurch would give them
the opportunity, t j . .-. 's a--
Remerober, every girl In this country

how it will grieve her if she knew the

month," said William M. Rasmus, man

"She waa accompanied by people whom
I naturally supposed were her parent
She cave her residence as The Norton.
rrhere waa nothing , unusual-about the
transaction, and my auspicious were not
aroused at all." & - - v '
At The Norton the positive statement
was made - yesterday , that Miss Allen
never secured rooms there, although she
sought apartments some time ago. She
was referred to the Waldorf, for the rea
son that at the Norton no rooms were
available. . However, it. was learned that

"I have tiad so much newspaper no
toriety that I am sick of It" said Miss
Allen. "Everywhere I go I am sought
after by reporters, and I do not like it

small fortune, and am on my own re
sources. ,

was advertised so much in the papers

but I did not remain to prosecute. My
sister Joined me, and I came here with

of Miss C Oray to avoid notoriety.
"I have had no communcation with
Mr. KUbourne ..since coming here but he
met me upon my arrival. I expect soon
to leave for the east to complete my
education for the stage." , .

cherishing an affection for him, and the
affair was the all-absorbing topio of
discussion for weeks in the sound city.
Miss Allen moved in the most, select
society,., and was accounted one' of the
most beautiful women in Seattle. Kll-

UMATILLA DATES
FOR CONVENTIONS
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
Pendleton, Or., March 2. The ' re
publican primaries In Umatilla county
are announced ror April a ana the
county convention for April 9. The dem
ocratic primaries will be held on April
and the county convention April 12.
From the St. Paul Dispatch.
Admiral Walker told the , isthmian
canal committee of the house that he la
a thorough believer in the civil service
system, "but we do not want it to apply
to us." Chairman Hepburn, one of the
most virulent opponents of the method,
would agree with him if It did not apply
to "us." . There la altogether too much
of this "thorough" belief in -reforms
provided they are not applied to "us." -Democratio
statesmen have been "thor
ough" believers in reducing the tariff to
a 'revenue basis provided the. reduction
did not apply to "us." Every protected
interest wants free trade in something;
not produced by "us." Volstead wanta
tree ceal and lumber tfor his farmers.
but no free wheat -for "us." New Eng
land shoemakers want free hides, but
protocted shoes. All down the line .of
governmental activities runs this mix
ture of selfishness which wishes preser
vation of its privileges and-the with
drawal of those of others which burden
It. The consequence is their recognition '
of the necessity of bearing other bur
dens in order to retain their own spe
cial privileges, which constitutes what
has been well termed the "community of
pen," ana wnicn. is the bedrock, of
standpatterlsm. -'" ';''-
