? tower Strawberry Mom.,;.,
Prlcet in the. .local , strawberry, mar
ket received quite - a severs ' setback
toaay. Heavy arrivals from the sub
urbs and from : the Willamette vally
were the - causa and Front street re
ceivers experienced considerable diffi
culty In obtaining quotations that were
eausraetory to tnem. - The best Hood
River . fruit sold as high as $3.76 fil
a case or two In tha early morning,
but. this price -was exceptional even at
mat time. An hour after the opening
of tha markets, the price for the Hood
jxiver-Mosier stock went down to f 3.50
and soma seemed quits willing a short
time later to clean up their holdings
as low as 33.25 for best stock from
east of the. mountains. For best Wil
lamette valley ptock ' the price ruled
between J! 60 and $3.75 for tha day.
Warm weather will bring forth still
larger supplies during: the next few
days and the trade is generally of ths
belief that the low level of ths year
will soon bs reached.
Zastera Hop Market Is Dead.
According to advices received by
Weldner & Co. from the Detroit, Michi
gan, office by mail this morning, ths
hop trade of that section Is practically
dead at this time. Brewers do not
cars to buy until they see which way
they are to turn. In the Portland
and Willamette valley markets hop
trade Is at a standstill, no orders be
ing available so far as known.
rotate Trade Is Ctood Again.
Buyers . are . again la the field for
limited amounts of first-class old po
tatoes at this time. The California
demand Is again coming this way al
though the volume of business offered
from there Is yet rather light. For
best Willamette valley stock ths trade
hers Is offering; as high as 80o par 100
pounds f. o. b.. this city. Local sales
are still quite fair and are being made
at 90o and fl along the street. New
potatoes are showing no Improvement
In quality and therefore are Interfer
ing but little with the sale of old
stock.
Bg-gs Ars Salng Offered Xower.
Because of the much heavier ar-
rivals, the local egg market la being
fenerally quoted along Front street to
ay at lower values. Egs are being
offered from 19o to 19o but sales
possible. The outlook for the egg mar-
boi ior mo near iuiure is not so nriflriiT-
the general impression of the trade
Deme mat prices win seek the lowest
levels of the year. This, however, Is
only a guess on the part of sellers.
Supplies will absolutely govern the
pries.
Spring Chlokena Will Sell for less.
While but a nominal business was
reported in the poultry market this
mornmg, a saie or two or spring chick
ens was made at a reduction of 2 Ho
a pound, buyers bain or unwllllnr T
offer more than 20c. they state that
mis win do mi iigure ior me week
perhaps less If arrivals become too
heavy. The poultry market In general
is fieaoy at uncnanged values.

' Ancordlna to W. tt. Allan Of the Allen
Fruit Canning company of Eugene the
crops In that section of the Willamette
valley are looking fine. To The Jour
nal this morning Mr. Allen stated that
everything with tha exception of prunes
Is up to all expectations. The cherry
crop .ot that section will be even greater
man a year ago- ana quality wui oe
of the best Strawberries have good
promise, and, ths present warm-weather
will. bring mem lann, in great numuer.
M. B. Hoard, a srardener of Beaverton.
sava there la room for a cannery ' in
that section. "We can raise plenty of
asDaras us if mere is a nemana ior in
stated Mr. Hoard this morning. "Our
grass Is as good as can be grown.
While tha production will not be more
than half of that tof a year ago, we will
gat . mora stock , from this time forth
until about July 10, when the season
should close. - There Is much difference
in the demand one commission house
.will want all green 'grass, for its trade
is ail after tnat xina, out anotner wouia
have nothing out wnite stock." -
Ths continued cold weather is dam
aging the grain crops, and also the
fruit to soma extent, says C D. Huff
man in ths La. Grande Observer. The
grain needs moisture and sunshine, es
pecially on tha Sandrldge. Very little
rain has fallen there, and tha ground Is
rather dry. The cold, cloudy weather
is hurting tne cnerry ana appie crops
to soma extent, though not yet enoueh
to cut the crop short. Apples are drop
ping but moat- oi ins trees are over
loaded. "
The wheat crop continues to arrow and
reports which have Just been received
from different sections of the country
ndlcats that conditions are good, says
the Pendleton East Oregon Ian.
It has been general y supposed that
tne ary weatner wnicn nas nrevanea
at times durinr the spring has retarded
the grain in the country nortnwest ot
Pendleton, but such Is not the case if
recent reports ars true.
H. c. Mills, a ranner or mat section
has been here today and he declares
that the wheat In the Juniper and Van
ycle sections has never looked better
than at present. If rain but comes
within the next 10 or 15 days he says
that, there will be no danger of a crop
failure In the "light land'' section. As
rains almost always occur In June there
Is seemingly little danger In store for
tna rarraers ot tnai section.
Those Who nave been in tne norm
western part of the county recently
say -the weeds are fewer there than In
tna older portions ox tne county.

No Truth in import That

courage EeTOlution. '
By William True Hawthorne. .
' London, June 6. The ' colonial office
will not "admit that the government la
worried ever conditions In India, but
that: apprehension exists there) Is no
reason to doubt, India Is a volcano
that is liable,; to erupt at any time,
and Just now It is showing signs of
serious unrest Downing street goes
to bed eaoh night In dread that morn
ing will bring news that the confla
gration nas begun.
No seriousness Is attached- to the
deport that Irishmen In the United
States ' are encouraging an Indian up
rising, encouragement, it is admit
ted, may be given in a . faw Isolated
cases, but the government refuses to
believe there la any widespread Irh
sympathy with a oroiacted Indian is t-
oreax. in tna event or an Indian re
, .. - - . -
bellion, - Irish troops would be called
upon to do their share of the fight
ing ana a gooa many insn uvea wouia
pay the penalty. But more to the
point, the Irish cause could in no way
be benefited by an Indian outbreak:
to the contrary, the Irish probably
would endure more than their share
of the suffering.
But without Irish aid the situation
Is sufficiently serious: English states
men are solemnlv convinced that the
end of British rule In India Is only
a question of time. That rule long
ago ceased to be profitable nor Is
there now left much"tf the former
excuse for governing an, unwilling peo-
ie. wnen England toon possession ln
la was divided Into feudal statea and
war and anarohy reigned. Advanced
opinion now is that India has suffi
ciently advanced In knowledge of west
ern civilization to maintain a stable
government
There la striking similarity between
opinion in England toward India and
opinion in the United States toward
the Philippines. England would gladly
set out of India If onlv aomeone would
point out a way to do so, but like the
man wno got tne Dear by tne tall, it
doesn't know how to let go. Of course,
there Is no official or responsible pub
lic expression to this effect, but In
private conversation many men who
most loudly proclaim the glories of
tne empire eamit mat England nas
nothing to gain and everything to lose
Dy eontmuin- as India s master.
But England has other colonies
which, while not largely profitable, !t
is desirable to retain. Canada and
Australia do really make for the glory
of the empire and like a nightmare
there Is ever present the fear that
once disintegration of the empire be
gins Canada and Australia will go.
Probably not a hand could be lifted to
stay the going of either, but the day
they set up governments of their own
would be a gloomy one In England.
Perhaps there may some day arise
a statesman wise enough and strong
enough to separate the desirable from
the undesirable of British colonies, re
taining the one and letting the other
go, out nis rorm is not yet visible on
the horison.

IS THE SENATE
Oil THEjECLIIIE?
Theory That Argues Body
May Go Way of House of
Representatives.
By Henry K. Lamble.
'(Special Dlipmtch to The JoaniaL)
Washington, June 8. For many years
the theory has prevailed that .the house
of representatives' loss of prestige was
due In no small measure to the faot that
the house had adopted rules curtailing
the freedom of debate. The Increasing
power of tha senate, with its freedom of
debate, was pointed to in support of this
contention.
Now that cloture has made Its appear
ance In the senate, there Is natural spec
ulation aa to whether the senate, too,
will go Into decline.- Certainly the claim
no longer can be made that In the sen
ate alone debate la free and untrammeled.
Tha methods adopted to kill off Senator
La Follette s tuiDuster against tne cur
rency bill are bound to rise to plague
the senate in future yeara. A good
many senators have expressed regret
that to meet the exigencies of the mo
ment the almost fundamental traditions
of the senate should have been swept
aside.
It is true that tne enoroaenmeni on
tha fraadnm nf debate is a sllaht one in
itself, but the fear prevails that the de
parture from custom may jeaa to iuu
greater Inroads whenever another exe
nonrv arises. In this lnstanoe the en
croachment did not extend beyond tha
two points of denying a senator the
privilege of utilising roll calls for a
nunrum as an aid in conductlnr a fili
buster and denying him the privilege of
speaking an indefinite number of times
on the same subject on the same day;
but In this Instance the exigency was
not especially a grave one. It war de
sired to pass the currency bill It is true,
but this was the long session and could
have been continued until December If
necessary. If at a short session, where
the life of congress expired by constitu
tional limitation upon a certain day, ob
struction methods should threaten the
defeat of some Important measure we
might now expect to see ths gag applied
as effectively in tha senate as U Is used
in the house.
Veterans of Hons.
Veteran members of the house who
have for years chafed under the as-,
sumed superiority of the senate do not
attempt to conceal their gratification
that the senate has at laat been com
pelled to resort to cloture. They de
clare the course ot the senate fully Jus
tifies the rules in lorce in tne nous,
which, has to contend with a member
ship four times as large aa that of tna
senate. If tha senate with 92 members
finds it Impossible to do business with
out cloture, they argue, certainly no one
will contend that the house with its
891 members could possibly have free
debate and do its work.
It is rather odd that the tightening
of the reins In the senate should have
been coincident with a demand in the
house for less stringent rules. During
the session lust closed notice was served
on the house nowers that with tha or
ganization of the sixty-first congress an
effort would be made to so amend tha
Reed rules as to tske from the speaker
much of the nower ha now wields. Tha
action taken by the senate on the last
day of the session probably will have a
tendency to strengthen the position ot
those who defend the present house
rules.' ' .- .

There Is no- anticipation that the notes

is the theory ot many experts that the

XilBger aS Capital, i , '
While a large number of senators and
representatives left Washington Imme
diately upon or even before adjournment,
it has been the occasion of remark that
an unusually large number of them are
lingering at the capital, Som ef them
were held here by the "five days leave
to print" speeches In the Congressional
Record, but most of the lina-erer nrob-
ably find It more convenient to go di
rectly from. Washington to the national
conventions than to return first to their
nomcs. -
There always are a number of for
tunate statesmen who do . not have to

and these can take their own good time
In getting back to their people. The fel

partake of the joys of early summer in
