Krom St. Paul came the report that detectives- are' still busy gathering evi dence ' In that section.

Russell cites the Michigan, fruit region as an illustration of the beef trust's control ."' of the produce trade. 'Take the shipping point of LaWton. for instance." says he. ' "Lawton la a center for the grape trade. ,. It W ISt miles from Chicago. Suppose a shipper . there has enough' grapes to , load a car. He appHea to his local reU , road agent.' Now grapes can be shipped ' ; in any kind of a car that has ventilation; . tee ls not necessary. The -railroad has plenty of ventilated ears,' any one of ' which would be adequate forHhls ship 1 ment, and f-or their se there would, be . , no charge, but It . doea not dare to let ,'. ' the shipper use one of .them. The trust ends from Chicago a 'car of Its own ' (charging mileage,' of .course), the grapes are taken aboard, the ear starts for Chicago at t o'clock In the evening, , arrives there the next morning, and the ..railroad company presents to the con , slgnee a bill for Its own freight charges ; and the trust's bill of $28 for 'lclng.' Very likely no ice. was used. If there ( were, it was not more than a ton. Call , it two tons, .' and the trust has taken .j (30 profit besides the mileage and the . .testimony before the'. Interstate com 5 mores commission has shown that the i mileage alone is enough to secure fat profits on any of the cars., "No region of this country escapes the ; exorbitant demanda ot the beef trust ex . eept by not -using any product that is I carried in a refrigerator" car. It la Just - aa bad for. New York as it -Is for Chi - cago; It la the same in Boston.' as In St . j-PsuL I have seen bills consignees have . been compelled to pay that charged $4t J for Ice (fifteen tone) at a time of year .when the Ice in the car would not melt J at all . unless a, fire, were built under- ( neatn. rrun use to ne carried in re . frigerator -cara from the Michigan re- i glon -to Boston without "Icing" cBarges. . wnen the gouging came began . the ; charge was made $20 a carft.Next, it was i elevated to 140 a car.- It is now 1SB a car, .and the. price of ice has not. ad vanced a cent.. The railroads are forced to assist the trust operations, to. send out, the circulars announcing the -new , rates, to collect the tribute, and to turn it . over without deduction to the gentle men who1 conduct the trust' , They are even obliged to. browbeat and threaten those who object to the extortions, to blacklist and try to ruin them, and to . fight the trust's cases in the courts," A more, extraordinary situation, has neyer been known In 'this country. The rail roads have been driven to. abdicate their - own legal and Indubitable rights to as sist the banditti or au enjoined combl ' nation." .. v ' ' . .

HOUSE GliLS ditI(Ii"j Young Women's Christian Asso ciation of Portland flans , , Factory Extension. SPLENDID OPENING FOR ; - WORK. IN AND NEAR CITY Miss Barnes Tells What the Pro Ject Means to (Women : ' Wage Earners. S ' Before another year passea the Toung Women'a Christian association of Port land wilt have realised one of its fond est hopes, .factory extension will be added to ita work. Miss. Helen F. Barnes, who haa been here for the past few days, lecturing Ion Christian work among young women, flnda that there la sclendld opportunity lor extended association work here, .and Is inciting the local organlxation to immediate ef- : An extension secretary . will - come next-fall and carry the work through. Miss Barnes " has been. In - this . work many years, and has had much ex. perlence, 8he said today, in speaking of the matter; f . "I hope every one understands - that this la not a ' charltyv work. We -do not do it because the girls are unable to take care - of themselves, for 'In many Instances these factory girls get better- wages than do - shop girls and teachers. It is. however, the environ ment they need.' The work will be established merely because they are too far away to take advantage of the op portunities ' offered . them in our ' old building, and they - need these refining Influences. But it is aa much for col lege girls as working girls; as much for teachers as factory employes. The organisation - la for- aH women. Irre spective ot education or social advan tages, "and It la calculated to bring out the highest possibilities in them and - to develop them.' "Last night we were at Sell wood, and thla ia the first touch we have ' had ' of extension ' work. Girls are employed In the cigar, factories there "who have no : such opportunities aa ' are offered to "girls nearer town, and so it-is our object to plant there ' one of the -flrst extensions. It will- be a miniature as sociation, constating probably r or only one room, according as we And our selves 'situated. Hera will be at place for tha girls to rest and to eat their luncheons so as to. get away from the factory atmosphere for a little while during tha day.. This will renew their vigor for the afternoon worx. ' "The room will be furnished with reading material and there will be places for resting, and In the evening the girls mar go there. '. Such rooms we hope to establish in "a number ot dis tricts about the town, though I cannot y . yet where, because until definite plans aVe made we do -not know where we will be received." Miss Barnes embodies in herself the traits which she very Innocently re. marks are necessary for an extension worker.. .-.- - ' i-'. "The matter haa to be presented to many men in. a purely business light, and, it takes a woman with a clear head for business and an understanding , of tha employers', difficulties aa - well- as the employes, to present " this matter. She must have loads of tact and sym pathyin fact, she haa to combine everything that ia finest in a woman so that a man will flltnk her sugges tions more . than ' mere- sentiment A great many men accept our work from a sense of their duty toward their em ployes, but the greater number can be appealed to from the business stand point Industrial betterment is la - the air, and most employers are willing to listen- to "our plana. They realise that intelligent girls can do the work bet ter than the atunld airla wnoea nervate and brain have been deadened btji numarum oi monotonous inoucnt or their , work only The way to awaken Mheee girls Is to Interest them- In out side matters, make them read,- and en Joy the company of others."'' This Is done through the social work of the association.- Many of the factories em ploy a secretary to spend all her' time among' the glrla In that one mllL" She Uvea among them, conducts a domestic science school to give them change of occupation and thought urges -them to read, leads bible classes and gets up picnics and socials for them. The l suit is, girls with hew interests and new. energy who feel that there la something In life for them. The sani tary conditions are Improved in the mills, and lunch rooms established so that the gtrla may not have to eat In the midst, of the dust . and smoke v and grime -with which they are surrounded all day. Their nerves are steadied and their muscles are rested." , GLEE CLUB CONCERT , : " PROVES GREAT SUCCESS (BpeeUl Dis pitch ts The IwuL) - McMlnnville, Or.. Feb. 11.
