Representative Young , of Michigan, the ranking Republican member of the Stanley committee, will recommend In his' report that congress shall pass a federal Incorporation act.

In their conference today Chairman Stanley and Representative Littleton fought out the Democratic differences -and reached aa-the basis Jif agreement these conclusions: FUn of Operation. First That there shall be an abso lute divorce and separation of common carriers from manufacturers. Second -That, the Sherman law should be changed to allow individuals to se cure Injunctions by . bills in equity against all alleged violators of the Sher man law by which they claim to be Injured. This prohibits the president of the United States from dictating to the attorney general the withdrawal of pending suits against corporations, or non-institution of suits against them under the fiherman law. In pther words, It is Intended to take from the execu- live ine eiciuBivo vjwimw, . tlation or conclusion of anti-trust pro ceedings as applied to individual com plaints. Third That the commissioner of cor porations shall be required -to report to the house as well as to the president the results of all investigations into all al leged violations by corporations of th Sherman anti-trust law, and that here after no bureau shall be commissioned by congress, which shall report solely to the president. Conffress Without Power. As the law stands, congress may only receive reports of the result of Investi gation . by the bureau 'of corporations when submitted through the president and with his consent, and no power vests in congress under the constitu tion to force the president to make a report. All day long Chairman Stanley and Representative Littleton, representing the divergent views among the Demo crtta of the committee as to the char actor of tho report to be made, threshed out their differences. Mr. Littleton In stated that no political consideration should form a part of the recommenda tions to be made to the house.

Lebanon, Or., July 20 Joseph T5en ner, one of the Linn County school supervisors, had the misfortune to fall off the roof of a barn yesterday that he was helping to shingle, and to break four ribs on his left side and be bruised. His physician fears he is hurt internally. The barn he fell from Is 18 ffct high at the eaves, and Mr. Ben ntr slid down the roof quite a distunes before he fell, which gave him mo mentum. He struck a piece of the framework in the fall or thp tumble would probably have been more seit- 0UK.

The progressive convention held here placed In the field a complete Including presidential electors, congressional and legislative candidates. The full ticket was nominated after Senator Joseph Dixon. Roosevelt cam paign manager, Informed the leaders that it was the desire of Colonel Roose velt to have a "clean sweep" ticket. "Colonel Roosevelt," said Dixon, "wants to make the whole fight in Michigan or not at all. People through out the country are demanding a new party and they shall have It." It was feared there would be aflght on the floor of the convention over this point. Frank W. Knox, former west ern manager for Roosevelt, was advocat ing the "stub" ticket plan, but after Dlx6n explained Roosevelt's attitude, Knox said he was satisfied so long as Roosevelt electors were chosen and Gov ernor Osborne was endorsed. The resolutions adopted today con tain all of the Roosevelt Ideas and de mand wldo reforms. Senator Dixon addressed the conven tion this afternoon, A laugh and a round of applause followed his reference to the candidncy of Governor Wilson as a "rose blo&somlng on the refuse pile." A demonstration lasting five minutes followed the statement of Chairman J. O. Patchen of Traverse City that the meeting was the result of a "eall from the American people."' State Senator L. Whitney Watkins re ceived the endorsement of the conven tion for Governor by a large majority. Chase S. Obsorn, the present Governor, who has personally declared for Wil son, had many friends, in the conven tion, and an attempt will be made to secure the necessary 300 slftnutures to place Osborne In the running as a can didate of the progressive party under its emblem. T. M. Joslin, of Adrian, was endorsed as the progressive candidate for United States senator, and M. P. Hall will be the party's candidate for congressman at largo. The balance of the ticket will be named In time for primary action. a lot of stuff that Is not true: and 4bo former mayor Is pledged by his friends to give a vastly different account of his relations with Ruef than the one that is being written by the convict boss. Story Is Hew, "My story has never been told," said Echmlti tonight. "It Is my purpose to give to the pub lie for the first time a true story of what led up to the graft prosecution, and a true statement of the facts that developed during the prosecution and of what occurred afterward. "My purpose Is not to villlfy anyone. My book will show the methods em ployed by the socalled graft prosecu tion, and show the motives that in spired those behind the prosecution. "For Instance, I shall relate, and prove it by records, that the men behind the movement were prompted by the desire to get control of the municipal govern ment. In "proof of this statement I will produce records of conversations records that were taken down when the conversations occurred showing that after my return from Europe in 190U, the proposition was made to me to leave the city and stay away, and that I was made the promise that there would be no prosecution of me if I would agree to do. this." LUMBER MARKET BETTER THAN ANY TIME SINCE 1907 (Continued From Page One.) mills the demand for saw logs hss In creased and the supply of available logs In thewater Is today below nor mal. Practically aft the logging camps In. the Columbia river district have been idle since July 4, when they were shut down to give employes the customary summer vacation, and there will be a very small surplus ef logs August 1 when the camps resume operations. The average wage in the logging camp is $3.2f a day and several thousand men are employed In the Columbia river dis trict, with several thousand more in other districts in the state. A great many country towns owe their very existence to the activity in the log ging and lumbering industries and these are again assuming the appearance of prosperity. Ship to California. Large quantities of lumber are be ing shipped to California by water from mills along the Columbia river while the Willamette valley mills ship to the same destination by rail. The California market has shown a very material Im provement In the past few months and reports from -the various centers there are to the effect that stocks are low on account of most of the lumber having been shipped out of the state to Utah. Nevada'and Mexico, praclcally as soon as it arrived from the north. With splendid grain crops netting the farmet'B throughout the northwest good profits this summer prospects for a good lumber market In the northwest are also improving daily. It Is pointed out that the first thing the progressiva farmer does in a prosperous year is to survey his holdings and make such Improvements In buildings and fences as he feels he can afford. In the ag gregate, this. It is said, will mean a great deal to the lumber industry. (gpecUJ to "in Joarnit.l Seattle, July 10. Seattle's second!

A large fleet of war vessels, which spent the week anchored In the bay, added much to the enjoyment of the visitors while the aviation events held the at tention- of -thousands. The various Street parades, social affairs and water events were all of high class and there has been little fault finding. Th state convention of - Eagle brought several thousand member ef . this order to the fraternal parade. Other secret orders made a brave showing and this parade was one of the week's very best.
