Washington, June 18. Beneath tha
urface fighting over the tariff and In
come tax, observing men e Ja the po
litical situation grave portent of break
up of party lines; nd the announcement
of an alliance between Minnesota L
Kolletto Republicans and -ntl-Johnson
, Democrats has added intensity- to the
1 discussions here which are dally carried
on us to when the breakup Is to come
it being admitted by some of tho best
politicians in Washington that such a.
breukun cannot be, postponed beyond
116, and may come In llt. .- '
It is clulmed that La Follette Repub
licans and anti-Johnson Democrats In
Minnesota have banded together to shelf
John A. Johnson, Just as they recently
in more or less close order moved on
the breastworks of F. B. Kellogg, and
forced ,'hlm to abandon -hls-amhition to
. succeed Moses -C'lapp as itMerai senator.
It is alleeed . too. that, the same polit
ical dynamite Was used, against Helloes

the Morgan-Hill flnanclar Interests. .
Bryan's -friends Aettre. )
' The slg nlftcanc of these things is
that the, Minnesota Democrats who are
In this anti-Johnson movement are close
rrlends of .W. J. Bryan; sucn men as
James Manahan, famed the country over
as the fldus achates of Mr. Bryan, being
in the combination. Mr. Manahan, like
wise, is a devoted friend of Senator La
Follette, conferred with him when here
a few days ago, and. is constantly la
touch with him.
Mr. Manahan entertained Mr. Bryan
also a few days ago in St. Paul. He
was host of former Governor Joseph
Folk of Missouri about that time.
In a letter the other day Mr.- Bryan
said that "1 mlgftt be able In the senate,
with L,a Follette and bis friends, to ac
complish something."
Bryan fog Senate,
"Alien Mr. Bryan's candidacy fdr the
senate was made publio last week, It
was noticeable that Republicans of .the
progressive type rejoiced, and Defcio-
. crats of the conservative type scowled.
The present party lines were no index
to the character Of the reception given
to Mr. Bryan's announcement of his
senatorial ambitions but the progres
alves in both parties were glad, and the
- conservatives in both 'parties were sad.
The same signs of coalescence be
tween these progfessiva Republicans
and Democrats are noted in other
states, and by the same alga, there is a
moving: together of the conservative Re
publicans and Democrats. These things
had been nicely worked out by political
suessers. when along came the letter of
Roger Q. Mills of Texas, celebrated
author of the Mills tariff bill, who said
with almost brutal plainness: "I. and
for that matter the people, have lost
confidence in the Democratic party."
Present lines Will Disappear. 4
Although stock in the party breakup
bad been at less than par up to that
time. Mills' thunderous pronouncement
caused it to rise to a level close to
face value; in other words, Mr. Mills
created a profound sensation, and his
words added force to the hitherto con
fident predictions that party lines as
now drawn would disappear and in 1912
new parties would go to the country on
Issues now defined as progressive and
as conservative. j
Speculation disposed of the middle
west as fertile ground for the sowing
of the progressives, of some southern
states likewise, and of the Paclflo
states as by no means Improbably In the
same list, v -:'.

city of Portland's progress and will make a population of 200,000 on. the Peninsula.

THE ACTUAL
GROWER SAYS
Hubbard. Or., Jun l.-r-(8pcll.)
Harvesting of onion act la In prof reaa
on Pudding river bottom, near thta
place. Tha harvest coniUta of pulllnx
the onions and lay Ins them ' away for
further ripening and drying In the un, '
to be later carted atrar to the atoring
shed.. The onion harvest fit in well
with the grain harvest, as boys ati1
girls and men whj are not able to
"make their hand" with the thresher "
can earn from 13 to $4 per day pulling
onions.
From a small beginning soma 19 or
12 years ago the growing of onion ts
has grown so that today Hubbard" la
the largest shipping point, for onion-'
sets In the northwest, and - men who
are posted on the onion market, eay
that more seta are grown within
radius of two and a half miles from
Hubbard than in all the remainder of
the Pacific northwest.
Iand that will grow good onion seta '
is highly prised and a few acres are
capable of making men rich. Once a
jungle of the wildest kind and a mire
hole considered dangerous, certain
parts of Pudding river bottom land are)
now a garden spot. An acre of thla
land will grow' on an average lfl.OOO
pounda of onion sets that sell at from
to 5 cents per pound, thus bringing;
the owner from 4I0 to o00.
There are this year soma it acres
devoted to the growing of sets In tho
vicinity of Hubbard, the largest tract
in one .solid body being on the farm
of Mrs. J. B.. Dlmtck. where different
parties have rented ground that totala
eight -seres. lira.' Dlmlck owna some
00 acres of farm land, but much mor
help is employed and greater Teturna
are received from these eight acrea
than all the remainder of the farm.
Elma, Wash., Dec. . (Special..
John W. Hanahaw this week disposed
ef 10 acres of hill land, lying north of
town, to Henry C. Taylor, a farmer
from North Dajkota, for $15 an aero.
The 10 acres aold Is part of a 40 acre
tract that Mr. Hanshaw bought eight
years ago. He paid Si an acre for the
land, and at the time he made the pur
chase those familiar with the land said
he paid too much Tor it. and that ho
would soon starve out.
Mr. Hanshaw waa a man of limited
means, however, getting on in yeara,
with a large family to support, and
could not buy a better place, and start
ed to clear iip the land. The first few
years but little progress was made, but
after that he began to realise an in
come from the land. The land durina;
all the time It has been cultivated haa
never been fertilized In the least, yet
has retained Its fertility. After de
ducting all expenses of caring and har
veatlnd the berry crop that was raised
the past year, and wagea for Mr. Han
shaw at $2.60 per day for days ho
worked, the 10 acre tract netted him a
clear profit of $100 an acre. The land
Is set eut to strawberries and logan
berries, some evergreen blackberries
have been set out, but are not in full
bearing yet.
