Retail Grocers' and 3Ier

Request Chan&e in Statute

nual Convention Opens.
V, T. Sehofield, Candidate for Pres
ident of Grocers' Association.
It took the Oregon Retail Grocers'
and Merchants' association but half an
hour to dispose of the preliminaries of
, their third annual convention this
morning and to get down to real work.
President 8. L. Klin of Corvallis called
the convention to order at 19 o'clock.
By 10:38 the addresses of welcome and
responses had been made and the com
mittees appointed and set at work.
viwinnf io me coming session or me
state legislature, when there will ba
asked several laws on behalf of the as
sociation, tha committee on legislation
and resolutions are tha most Important
of the convention. The chairmanship of
the latter went to J. C. Mann of Port
land. President Kline Will not announce
the personnel of the committee on leg
islation until thin afternoon.
An effort will be made to nrocure the
passage of ft biu changing tha statute!
1 ui limitations an to oia aeots so that a
payment on a debt will renew the life
of the entire obligation In such a man
ner that If there are a number of Items
on tha bill of various dates the whole
bill can date from the time of the last
item, instead of having each item stand
ui iwu b i prcBciiL ! ins case.
; The committee on nominations will
report on nominees for all of the of
ficers ef the society. Thus far there
have been two applicants for the presi
dency, S. L. Kline., to succeed himself,
and State Senator W. T. Sehofield of
Astoria. '
Although it la not definitely known
yet. It Is believed that some action will
be taken concerning the. Increase In
freight rates by (he transcontinental
roads. The TeUU grocers are heavy
sufferers through the new rates, be
cause they are compelled (a pay larger
wholesale prices, for their goods pur
chased from the jobbers. When they
come to , retail these goods, however,
they are compelled either -to Increase
the selling price to the consumer, which
is a difficult matter, or to pav the dif
ference out of their own pockets
Rev. Clarence True Wilson delivered
tha Invocation In ' the- convention hall
of the Commercial club this morning,
where about ISO delegates had assem
bled. He was followed by Tom Rich
ardson, who bade the grocers welcome

keys of the city to them. President

Supreme Court's Iluling Is
Really a Blow at Speculat
ors, Say Portland Lawyers
Will Benefit Those Who
Actually Use Streams.
, Portland attorneys and Irrigation ex
perls generally believe that yesterday's
decision of the Oregon supreme court,
holding that the congressional - act of
1877 limits all riparian rights subse
quently acquired, except as to the use
of water for domestic purposes, will
have a beneficial effect.
Beside doing away with tha useless
waste and holding of water it will pre
vent any person or corporation from
holding a power or Irrigation right for
speculative purposes.
"Contrary to the belief of soma," said
C. IS. 8. Wood of the law firm of Wil
liams, Wood & Linthlcum, "the decision
does not work against the different cor
porations using water, but rather in
their favor. It is really favorable to
those who must necessarily use consid
erable water, an against those who are
trying to hold it and put it to no real
use. i
"This decision will tend to make a
more equable distribution of the water
and win prevent unaue waste.
The Oregon court Is the first In the
country to construe the act of 1S77 In
this particular. . The decision does not
affect individuals or corporations who
acquired rights prior to the year 1877,
or who acquired them subsequent to'
that year! aud put them to beneficial
use; Those who have held such rights
ana railed to use mem are tne only
ones affected.
W. R. King, supreme court commis
sioner, who has made a thorough study
or tne . waterusw, wrote me opinion,
which occupies 84 pages of typewritten
matter and is about g&.ouo words in
length. It touches upon almost every
phase of water law.
Tne case in which the point came up
was that of Annie C. Hough et al, re-
penoenu, vs. c A. u. jruier el Bl, BP-
Dellanta. from Lake county: Henrv L.
Benson, judge. About 60 parties were
concerned in tne auit, ana in reaching a
decision as to. their relative rights to
watr rrom sttver creek, Judge rrenwi
recognued both riparian and appropria
tion rights. Tha supreme court divides
the water according to tha law of appro
priation. - , . ,

ANTI-TRUST LAW
Sacramento, Jan. 8. State Senator
George W. Cartwrignt, author of the Cart
wright anti-trust law, announced today
that. desDlte the Dnnosition of tha Cali
fornia state board of trade, he intended
to oppose at this session or the legisla
ture any attempt to make the law less
effective. He denied that the statute
had become a dead letter and that there
had been no enforcement of the law.
"This measure," said he, "is not a
drastic measure. It is, in fact, a copy
01 the Ohio law, which was adopted In
1897 and amended in 1902 to make ',
more severe. I say this, knowing full
well that the argument is being pub
lished that the law prevents producers
from entering into sny agreements of
any aina ior ineir own protection.
"The anu-trust law was intended, rs
a matter of fact, to protect the small
capitalists by restricting the big ones.
Experienuce has taught us that small
combinations cannot maintain any
lengthy existence, the large combina
tions quickly putting their Weaker
rivals out of business.
"Now, wa can't have a discriminatory
law. We must legislate against the,
small fellows as well as against the big
ones. In this operation of the law it
will be found that Its effects will he
salutary, and only the wrongdoer will
suffer. . -
BACK FROM TRIP
TO THE ORIENT
After a trip of nearly four months'
duratton through China and Japan, J. C.
Friendly arrived in Portland yesterday.
Mr. Friendly was one of a party of 30
members of a committee of chamber of
commerce representatives from coast
cities Who visited the orient on the trip.
O. M. Clark went from Portland.
Among the cities which were visited
by the party were Yokohama, Tokio,
Nikko. which Is known as the most
beautiful city in Japan, Kyoto, Nara,
Osaka, Kobe, Nagasaka, Manila, Hong
kong,' Canton, Machow, the Monte Carlo
of the east, and other towns.
The party left San Francisco Septem
ber 26, 1908, and returned to the United
States ' on the Siberia by way of Ban
Francisco, arriving there on New Year's
day.
Mr. Friendly spent Christmas dav In
Honolulu and went bathing in the surf.
Notwithstanding the sudden change in
climate he says, "Just say for me that
Portland looks mighty good and I'm
f:lad to get baekr We had a fine time,
n fact, it was simply one continual
round of pleasure, but I noticed two
things that I did not like. One Is the
fact that while Seattle and San Fran
cisco are both well known In Jacan and
China, Portland Is never spoken of. They
don't know where It is. The reason is
this:- Portland does not advertise
enough. You see all kinds of literature
from, the other coast cities bat I saw
none of Portland's.
"The other objection 14 that although
everywhere we went we found that
America was well thought of, regarded
as. the fairest and square? t nation In
the world, her consuls have miserable
headquarters. It grieves, me to see
the English or German- ambassador
holding out in palatial headquarters,
with his country's flag floating above
him, and then to look on the repre
sentative of the United States in a
tumble-down shack."
CARS WILL RUN IF
WEATHER PERMITS
Tbe ,. superintendent of the
streetcar system of the Portland
Electric stated this afternoon
that the system is gradually get
ting back into shape and that if
the weather man is good, he
hoped that cars would be running'
more normally before long. lt

said. "Cars are running on all
lines new, but not on schedule.
All the lines were shut down last

'Eastern Oregon is going out for what

being made by eastern Oregon members

Baker county wants a branch asylum.
So does Union county. So does Uma

that eastern Oregon wants the coming
legislature to give through the enact-
At the former sessions of the legisla
ture eastern Oregon-has fared badly at
the hands or tne legislators. epresen
tatives from some eastern Oregon coun
ties have made valiant fights for meas
ures fdr the " betterment of eastern
Oregon conditions, but still other mem
bers from other sections of tha eastern
part of the state have Joined with the
vallev counties and have aided in tbe
slaughter of these pet measures. At tbe
end of the sessions it has been discov
ered tnat tne eastern men uiu nui s
hit th wanted, and they have gone
home firm In the conviction that there
is strength in union. .
The lesson has apparently been
learned and now the eastern Oregon
men are planning to stand as a unit on
all legislation affecting eastern Oregon.
Thev are also Planning to stand as a
unit "against other legislation unless
they ar given a fair altar 'at least of
what their section of ths state needs
and desires.
Senator Hart and Representative
Kinney of Baker county are at the head
of the movement for a conference of
the eastern Oregon men. It Is probable
that the meeting will be held Friday or
Saturday after the members have gath
ered in Portland.
It is not believed that the meeting
will have any bearing on the organisa
tion fight, but that legislative matters
will be discussed and concerted action
planned on the different measures to be
introduced by eastern Oregon men. It
is a fact that should the men from the
other side of the mountains decide to
stand together on any measure, either
for or bets Inst It. that their combined
vote would hold tho balance of power in
either house or ootn.
As an evidence that the men mean
business it Is aid that the conference
will be non-political and that both
Democrats and Republicans will meet
and decide on what shall be done with
pending legislation originating from
eastern Oregon.
COUNTY LEGISLATORS
HAVE NO QUORUM
Because of the inclement weather and
poor car service, the meeting; of the I
Multnomah delegation scheduled ror last
night was not held. Four of the dele
gation showed up at the appointed time
at the commercial club and a umber of
people Interested in various legislative
matters were on hand, but there was
not a quorum of tha legislators and-the
meeting was adjourned.
Tomorrow night at k o ciock at tne
commercial club the delegation will
meet however and hear the arsuments
of those attorneys who desire to increase
tne numoer or circuit judges ror Mult
nomah district from four to six. There
will probably be some verbal fireworks
at the meeting, however, as Judge H.
E. McGinn has been asked to appear
in opposition to the proposed Increase.
Ho returned from an over holiday visit
with relatives. In California yesterday
and was at the place of meeting last
night. He will be there tomorrow night
with a list of arguments to show why

Baker City wants a branch of the
state asylum and will have a bill be
fore the next legislature providing for
the establishment of such an institu
tion. The Citizen s league of Baker City
has taken up the fight and has sent let:
ters to the different members of the
legislature advocating a branch asylum
at Baker City and giving reasons why
the institution should be located at
that place.
Among other things, the league con
tends that Baker City has an ideal cli
mate for a sanitarium. It is pointed
out that the city is in a high altitude,
that the weather is cool in summer, that
the water supply is pure and abundant,
that tha sanitary conditions are good
and that everything considered the lo
cation is Ideal.
It is also argued that Union county
has a state experiment station and that
Umatilla county has a normal school,
wants an experiment station and has
two terms of the supreme court. Baker
county has never asked for anything
before, the league contends, it has noth
ing in the nature of a state institution,
and it wants to get into the family of
counties which have been given such
preference.
