Hilt, rhalrman of the board of directors of the Great Northern railroad, when told lata today that the senate passed the reciprocity hill, expressed pleasure. "It Is not what we have gained by the reciprocity treaty that Is most im portant, dui nai wfl imvw ciiicii, said Hill tonight.

There would ' have- been a revival in Canada and Eng land of a move for Imperial federation and If we had refused to trade with ou rood neighbor, our second best custom r, and for our manufacturers, the best customer we have, we should have been very sorry for it in years to come, for the opportunity was before us to mane favorable agreement wltn canaaa ana It would not have been before us .gat for many years if we had refused this time. "That is why I say the treaty will mean much good for both the United 6tates and Canada, and I believe that it will stimulate the trade of both coun tries and that it will not be long b fore every one will sea Its benefits and see that the wise thing t-9 do was act favorably upon it Yet. after all. that is the secondary part. There) not the slightest doubt that the situa tion was such that had the vote in the senate today been against it, the report would have gone over the world and would have stimulated activities else- where for obtaining trade that properly Belongs to us.

But the time was not ripe for this tender concession and it won only 11 votes. Now Bailey, with his amendments marshalled, like his oratory, always to climax, offered the free list as handicap to the bill. Fifteen to sixty three was the answer. Ballsy Plays Master Stroke. Then Bailey, with a dramatic de fiance to his Democratic colleagues of the cotton states, played his master stroke. "I offer an amendment to put cot ton bagging and ties upon the free list, was his appeal to the cotton Democrats of Dixie. There was nervous stir among the senators who represent the realm where cotton Is king. But the line never wavered. The ranks were firm. Only Johnson, of -Alabama, fell in with Bailey, giving him 17 votes to 62. The solid south was solid still for reciprocity. Incident Is Significant. One dramatic incident of the Bailey amendmenta was significant. When the roll call was called Dillingham, of Vermont, rose to explain that he was paired with the senior senator from South Carolina, who, if ha were pres ent, would vote no. With almost a sug gestion of pain in his wonderful voice Bailey demanded: "May I ask through what source the senator from Vermon was authorized to make that state ment T' To which Dillingham responded Through Senator Bacon of Georgia, to whom Senator Tillman referred me. The which means to those who know that the brave old radical from South Carolina, who in his broken health of mind and body, followed Bailey almost blindly in his last attendance of the former session, has recovered at home some of the- splendid Incredulity of progressive democracy and comes back to his own place In the ranks of the party. 93 Amendments la All.

CROPS SPELL PROSPERITY (Continued from Page One.) road, which taps the heart of the in- land empire wheat country, returned yesterday from a trip over the road and was most enthusiastic over conditions in Washington, Idaho and eastern Ore gon. "I believe we will handle 2500 cars or wheat over the Spokane & Inland this summer," said Mr. Coolldge. "It is going to require everything we can, get hold of on wheels to transport this crop, which is the biggest that part of the country has ever known, running 40, SO and even more bushels to the acre. "Retail lumber yards throughout the territory we drain are practically cleaned up one man told me he didn't have a 2x4 left In his yard and as soon as the wheat monev aets in cir culation the lumber business is 'going to pick up amazingly. All indications are that the wheat crop will be mar keted early. In some sections last year's crop was disappointing and the farmers have been carried the past year by the banks. Naturally they are anxious to pay off their obligations and will sell the wheat without de lay, placing money in circulation much earlier this year than usual. Washing ton, Idaho and eastern Oregon will pro duce upwards of 60,000,000 bushels of wheat this season." Means More Prosperity. F. W. Robinson, general freight afgent of the Harrlman lines in the northwest, returned from a trip to eastern Oregon and Idaho a few daya ago with similar statements concerning the size of the wheat crop, the rush the railroads will be under to move It and the, prosperity indicated by the excellent condition of all crops In the west and middle west. L. J. Wentworth, president of the Portland Lumber company, said laat night he believed the fine showing made by all crops Is going to pull the lumber trade up again and aid condi tions materially. "These fine crops certainly will re- suit in good to the lumber business in my opinion," said Mr. Wentworth. "Buying of lumber in the rural dis tricts will begin aa soon as monev la received for the crops. As nearly aa I can learn, alsmost all the retail yards . . . . . arc low at Present. They will have to buy heavily to flit orders for' the fall trade, and the result is - going to be that the lumber industry ;. here ; will prom conaiuersDiy. A , ; F, C. Knapp, of the Peninsula Lum bar com nan v. said: . , "'I firmly believe the lumber industry in the Paciflo northwest has struck bottom and that the fine crop reports will send it on the rebound. There 1 bouna to d some improvement in lum' ber conditions, though . the extent da pends considerably on the stocks in the retail yards over the country. The mills are carrying from 20 to 40 per cent less stocic than they were January 1. The off-shore trade is fair and seems to be improving. Good crops will stimu late buying in the country yards and al together 1 personally am looking Cor ward to a much better -six months than the ones Just passed." President A. U Mills, of the First National bank said the good effect of the wheat crop will depend largely on what price the farmer gets for his wheat, though the outlook la promising for au lines of trade. " " The good effect of the big wheat crop will be influenced largely by the price of wheat: No one knows what that will be." said Mr. Mills. "If It remains firm, however, there will be a considerable influx of money into the northwest, and the balance of trade will be in our favor. I understand crops are generally good all over the country, with a few exceptions, and with good prices this will naturally oreate a de mand for lumber that will have a fav orable effect on local conditions, . The best thing that could happen for the local lumber market would be the en couragement of railroad building, how ever, with its demand for ties, timbers and construction lumber.' JEWISH GIRL HOMESICK FOR THE GHETTO AGAIN (Bperial to The Journal.) Hood River, Or., July 22. Homer Rogers of the upper Hood River valley, leader of the Upper Valley Progressive club, has had a hard problem to deal with in the case of a young Jewess who was working at the home. It was ru mored that she would leave the home and stay in the woods without eatlns t long periods and rave when attempts were made to secure her return. Her casewas reported to the Hood River authorities, who had her sent to Port land. She came to Hood River from the tenement district of New York. 'It Is simply a case of homesickness," said Rabbi Jonah Wise, of the Congre gational Beth Israel church. She was expected in Portland last night and was to be met by a member of the Woman's Relief society of the Jewish church. The young woman came out here from the crowded streets of New Tork. and it seems she could not stand the quiet of the country. She Is a refined, high-spirited woman, amply able to look out tor herself. She Is not an object charity or anything of that sort. Our church people will care for her, if he wishes us to, the same as we would any other stranger among us. Mr. Rogers brought her from New Tork, anS 'he Is aa anxious as anybody 1 iu nvi uor ciucu wnnrn sna will OS contented. He made a trip' to Portland to consult Ben Belling, president of our benevolent society, and myself about her. and wanted to do all he could for her.

(Soecial to The Journal.) Oregon: Agricultural College, Corval lis, Or., July 22.-"The farmers of Ore gon are harvesting a wonderful hay crop," said Dr. James Withycombe. dl rector of the experiment station at tho Oregon Agricultural college, discussing the present harvest. ' . ' "The total hay crop of Oregon last year represented 100,000 tons, but this year It will reach 1,180,000 tons. , The western Oregon crop is ' SO per cent larger than it . was last year, and the eastern Oregon crop -about 10 per cent larger.. The difference In percentage is mostly due to the fact that In eastern Oregon the crop Is grown on Irrigated or sub-Irrigated land, while that in western Oregon is grown under natural conditions, and the season has been f& vorable for hay, as well as for; other farm crops. , 'The crop Is so large that many of the farmers have inadequate facilities for storing, snd without care is "exer cised the waste will- be great This would be unfortunate, as it should all be utilized for livestock feed. For ex ample, it has been estimated that a ton of first class vetch or alfalfa, hay fed to a good dairy cow should yield a value of about $20. "Then there will be a good market for the meat producing animals. This inevitable from the fact that the number of cattle in the United States has shrunken 8 per cent in four years. sheep 10 per cent in eight years, hogs 16 per cent In 10 years. This . is In spite of the great increase In popu lation, and without lessening the per capita consumption of meat." Dean Cordley of the agricultural school pf the college says: . "I have never seen such a hay crop In the val ley before. It is not only a very heavy crop, but of unusually fine quality." "NON-UNION COMMUNITY" SOUGHT BY HOE COMPANY New York, July 23.
