nance for the Portland council to
consider. A progressive business
city must make a good deal of noise
in one way or another, but a large
amount of noise made Is useless to
anybody and aggravating to many,
One of the worst specimens of worse
than useless noises ls a whistle down

OREGON ADVERTISING WASHINGTON.
0"
. REGON does many wierd things
Industrially. One of the most
remarkable of all ls the ship
ping of . Oregon cherries ' for
canning purposes. Of course, they
- are subsequently sold under a Wash
. lngton labeL ? They are canned
mostly at Puyallnp, and compared to
. western Oregon as to cherries Pny-
allup la a comic opera. Tet 400,000
pounds of matchless Oregon cherries,
before the season ends, will go to
Puyallup to be canned, and though
-. the pride of Oregon, will be sold in
the market as a Washington product
As they go to consumers they will
be, not an advertisement of Oregon,
but "of Washington, and Puyallup
Tet we wonder why Oregon ls slow
to grow In population. If we want
tq grow, why do we not send Oregon
products out as Oregon products, to
advertise the state? Why send them
out as Washington products, to ex-
. ploitWashington?
, J But there is another unhappy
phase la the Incident It is not
enough that Oregon cherries shall go
to exploit Washington. The price at
which Oregon growers are compelled
to part with them ls a part of the
humiliation. Four cents a pound
was the figure, ''and while Oregon
growers were receiving it California
orchardists were paid seven to nine
cents for a greatly Inferior cherry.
The price to Idaho growers for sim-
, ilarly Inferior fruit was eight cents.
With the best cherry in the world,
the Oregon men got but half what
California and Idaho growers were
paid.
Of course, lack of cannery capacity
was me cause There were not
enough canneries Th Oregon to
handle the pack, or make competi
tion for the raw product. That Is
.why famous Oregon cherries were
.packed at Puyallup, and are to be
: exploited under a Puyallup label. It
Is an "Oregon: industry out of joint;
and one that, for the sake of growers
d for -the sake of Oregon, should
be corrected. It is common knowl
edge that there is an excellent mar
gin in canning cherries at eight cents
per pound to the grower, Does not

SON of New York ls about to
break in upon the immunity
from legal regulation which
the two great telegraph companies
hare so long enjoyed, and has
brought' a suit alleging an unlawful
combination between them. That
there has long existed some sort of
an agreement, rather than actual
competition, between the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph com
panles Is the common opinion of
those familiar with the service they
render. This action of the attorney
general of New York may precipi
tate like swlts in other states, and
by the federal government, which
might disclose some interesting facts
bearing upon the dispute of these
companies and their operatives as to
wages paid and other matters. As
long as the public, and especially
the press, is well served, as It usu
ally has been, by these companies,
and at moderate prices, there is no
occasion for meddling with them, yet
there seems to 1 be no good reason
why the government should not
handle this business, as well as the
postal business, providing the people
are not served to their satisfaction
by these corporations.
As the Detroit News remarks:
In many other countries the trans
mission of messages by telegraph ls
recognised as a proper function of gov
ernment, and the business ls conducted
by the public aa a part of the postof
flce. In this country the business has
always been left to private monoply,
with the' result that prices have been
fixed at any figure thai pleases the
companies, and the public has paid, or
gone without telegraph service. The
middle ground between these conditions
la a reasonable government regulation.
How much New York can accomplish by
an appeal to the atate antl-truat act ls
a Question that time will tell, but In
any event the atate can gather evidence
of the facta such as will form a basis
for actions In other states.
La Grande's new dally, the Star
has arrived, and presents a good ap
pearance, and apparently win de
serve a liberal support. Announce-
ing that it will be independent po
litically, it says:
There ls no more pitiable spectacle
the entire field of human endeavor
trian that of a newspaper publication
tied down to party demands or groveling
for crumbs in the wake of the campaign
banquet. The husks which the swine
feed upon are sweeter, and the charac
ter of the prodigal, despicable as It Is,
shines In comparison with that of the
newspaper publisher who loses his man
hood and perverts his columns for a
few tainted dollars which more often
than otherwise he never receives.
Salem has had a cherry fair, and
puts forward a claim to be known
as the "Cherry City," but The Dalles
scoffs and says Salem has appropri
ated her title and Isn't In the same
class, because The Dalles has better
cherries a month earlier than Salem.
A little of this sort of quarreling
does no harm. Outsiders will agree
with everything each town says in
its own behalf and with nothing It
says derogatory to the other.

growled yesterday because the
groceries were all closed and he
could not procure something he de

be won't know the difference a thou
sand years hence. And the grocers
gave everybody fair warning.
Everybody ought to be glad to put
up with a little Inconvenience or dis

grocers an annual outing. Think

how accommodating they are. And

that Councilman Frank - Bennett ls
about to prepare an ordinance to pre
vent all noisy apparatus from operating
within prescribed limits.
The people may Indeed congratulate
themselves upon the evident manifesta

tion which seems to have taken posses
sion of a so-called public servant. A
timely suggestion may not be out of
place and Mr. Bennett will deserve the
thanks, appreciation and everlasting
gratitude of very many long-suffering
citizens If he will act upon It and in
corporate In his proposed ordinance the
very worst and surely the most dis
turbing nuisance ever DerDetrated udoh
any community. I have reference to

which has been operating in this city,
