TREATY MEASURE
PASSED BY SENATE

with all the world. 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.
There were more amendments bv Mc-
Cumber, two amendments by Bristow
on type and type metal, and on rubber
products, and a minor amendment bv
Crawford making 23 in all the last
going to the grave by the viva vooe
method of rebuke.
Kvery other amendment had been
given the yeaa and nays.
Then, at 1:28, the gadflies of amend
ment were all brushed away and the
great race for the Canadian-American
derby was at last at hand
At 1:36 the Canadian pact had run

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

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

Western Oregon Yield Is 50
r Per Cent Larger Than
t .In 1910.
(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."
