62d congress be
busiest session
of swears
33,651 Bills Introduced in
, . House and Senate, of Which
, Only 250 Have' Become
. Laws. - " ' '
, Washing ton, Aug. 10. "The busiest
. session In years" ia the. unanimous Judgv
ment at the capital of the waning term
of 'the Sixty-second congress. Federal
statute books are heavy with new law.
Ouster of former Senator Lorlmer of
Illinois was one of the principal features
In the senate. - His trial blocked much
other work. Impeachment -- charges
, against Judge Robert W. Arohbald of
the commerce court kept the house as
busy. Arizona and New Mexico were
made states. The Russian passport
treaty was annulled.
But tariff legislation overshadowed all
else. Six tariff bills were passed. Five
schedules jnetals, chemicals, wool, cot
.. ton and sugar w era- affected The ex
cise tax bill, taxing Incomes of more
than $8000. annually, was linked with the
house's free sugar measure as a reve
nue producer.' r ' "
Rejection of the Canadian reciprocity
pact by the senate and the senate's ac
tion In nullifying by emasculation Taft's
International peace treaties were record
ed. The senate voted to seat Senator
Stephenson of Wisconsin, against whom
ouster proceedings were brought. .
More Investigations than ever before
in the history was - a feature of the
bouse record. The steel trust, the mon
ey trust, th, shipping trust, the beef
trust, the departments of agriculture,
state, . Interior and- - treasury ... and the
Lawrence, Mass., strike, were all "In
vestigated." The house also passed bills giving the
Porto Rlcans cltlsenshlp.
The Sherwood dollar-a-day pension
act originated there, as did the Panama
canal bill. Other house legislation was
the proposed abolishment of the com
merce court and the tariff commission
provision for a parcels post, good roads,
antt-lnjunctlon measures, the contempt
bill, giving jury trials on contempt of
court cases, establishment of a separate
department of labor, a children's bu
reau and an Industrial commission.
The senate held the investigation of
tha Titanic disaster and both houses
psssed remedial legislation.
The Lodge resolution, reaffirming the
Monroe doctrine was another Important
senate measure.
Despite th fact that 88,S1 bills had
'been introduced up to today, only 264
laws have been enacted up to August 1
about one for each day's work. Rep
resentatives put 26.20S would-be laws In
the legislative hopper and senators
74 4 J.
More Mils referring to bridges across
navigable streams were Introduced than
ever before 81 In all.
The senate statistician tonight stl
mRted that already 1,092,000 words have

Nothing is more Important to this trado

(Special to The JocrnaLI
Pendleton, Or., Aug. 10 It is absolute
ly imperaTIve to the. success of eastern
Oregon flouring Industries that 'direct
and regular Orlentaf steamship service
be maintained out of Portland, according
to Mrs. Sophia Byers McComas, manager
of the big Byers flour mills la this city.
To discontinue It would mean the clos
ing down of many mills, she declares,
and would cause the farmers great fin
ancial loss. ,
"The Byers mills are better sttuafftl
than most mills In eastern Oregon," she
saidln-thar they hvSair outlet via
both the O-W. R. & N. and Northern
Pacific. If the Portland service Is dis
continued,, we could ship to Fuget sound,
but at the1 same time It Is probable that
we would have to close down for I am
certain that with the aound cities as
the only shipping points, there would be
suoh. great demand for' tonnage that
the number of ships available would bs
entirely ; Inadequate.
"With no -ships we would have to
close,: and " closed, we could - not buy
wheat. 'Whloh would causa loss to the
farmers, .for the mills give a 2 cent pre.
mlum on every bushel.
"A great deal of our business is with
the orient, our exports there amounting
to 400,000 sacks of flour annually. Right
now we are besieged with orders from
China and Japan, 'for their rice crops
were far short. We cannot ship from
Portland, therefore w are not filling
orders. Loss of the Portland line will
close such mills as the Peacock mills of
Milton. Portland la their only outlet."

McMlnnville. .Or., Aug. 10. "The
present situation is a critical on?," nald
W. S. Houck,- of the Houck MttHng com-
pany of McMlnnville, speaking of the
necessity to millers and farmers of a
direct steamship line from Fortland to
the Orient. "Unless the - Southern Pa
clflc company comes to the rescue, loss
of this service means that the entire
wheat industry in the valley will be
hampered. It will prove a serious mat
ter not only to the milling companies,
but to farmers as well.
"Cessation of steamship service to tin
Orient means either tho closing down o,f
tho flour mills now in operation or a
drop In the price paid for wheat of at
least 10 cents a bushel.
"Because this valley raises soft wheat
it must find its largest market ,n China
and Japan. With the higher transpor
tation rates through Seattle it means, If
we can obtain such a service, that even
than we shall be obliged to have to pay
less ior wncai.
"Even last year our mill ran only
about half time at full capacity because
the Portland steamship service was so
Irregularly maintained. In the past .. e
have chartered boats along With other
Willamette valley mills, but none can be
obtained now.''.

a statement made this morning by F. 8.
Dement, of Dement Bros, &..CO.; Jn re
gard to tha shortcomings of tha present
steamship service at Portland." a
' A steamship- una from Portland to
the orient la much more desirable so fas
as our trade is concerned, than one from
Seattle,", said Mr, Dement- ."Portland
is the natural shipping point for this
section It is more accessible than Pu
get sound ports, in that shipments from
this district Teach Portland In two days,
whereas it takes three to four days for
them to reach Seattle. 1 ' ,
"Our goods are headed down the Co
lumbia river; - telephone communication
with Portland ia better than wttliond
cltlea; only one business day need be
lest when a man goes to Portland from
this city on business, while three days
are required for a round trip to Seattle.
Besides there' are a large . nafflber r!cf
flouring mills on the sound, all of which
are In more direct connection with the
steamship companies ithan' la possible
for Inland shippers, and ship space Is
often difficult to obtain. , ,
"A direct line from Portland would
be much better. When the shipper is
In a hurryt and sends his goods to the
sound in the hope ef getting them under
way within the week, it is aggravating
to be compelled to wait from seven to
ia uays, wuii; n is onen ine case.
"Years ago Portland received
export business from the Inland Em
pire, . but i she has lost much of it to
the sound cities on account of her ir
regular shipping facilities. To hold
what trade she still retains, and win
back what "she has lost to jhe sound,
It Is absolutely necessary that she Im
mediately secure a direct, permanent
and reliable steamship service to th
orient." :
COLFAX URGES SPEED
Otherwise the Sound Will Get All
Floor Shipments.
(Special to Tha Journal.)
Colfax, Wash', Aug. 10. Regarding
the necessity to millers of a steamship
service out of Portland to the orient
without delay, H. L. Plummer, manager
of the Colfax Milling company, said
tonight:
"This action would surely bar all our
export shipping from Portland and
would-cause-u-t aend all our oriental
export shipments via Seattle. Most of
our export shipments are to Hongkong,
China, and Seattle would certainly get
It all.
"We would be sorry to see the orien
tal steamship service discontinued at
Portland, and would no doubt suffer
loss In consequence. Portland Is In
great need of this steamship line and
must take quick action." .
"WAKE UP" IS ADVICE
Quick Action Needed to Save East
ern Oregon Trade.
Special to The Journal. 1
Raker, Or., .Aug. 10. "If there Is no
steamship transportation provided from
Portland to the Orient after October 1,
all the eastern Oregon export, flour
business will go via Pucct sound ports,
and we shall bo able to meet competi
tors as at present, because we have been
promised a rote within 50 cents a ton
to Soattle or Tacoma of that we are get
ting; to Portland now, by Freight Agent
Skinner, of tho O-W. It. & N.
Thia was the comment today of C. B.
Stout, vice president and manager of
the Oregon Mill & Grain company of this
city, concerning the steamship service
situation from Portland to the Orient.
Mr. Stout continued: "Other eastern
Oregon mills are in the same position.
We would give Portland the Business, of
course, with the lower rate, but with
rail rates equal to the other shipping
ports, the effect will bo to keep busi
ness away from Portland.
"We have contracted already for a
shipment of 6500 barrels of flour to
China for October tthlpment via Puget
sound, taking no chance on the service
from Portland. The export business from
eastern Oregon mills is Increasing fast
and Portland would get all the busi
ness If she wakes up and secures steam
ship service. Otherwise, with equal
rates we will ship with as great profit
via Tacoma or Seattle."
Aide from local milling' companies,
other enstcrn Oregon mills arc receiving:
Increasing orders for export flour, and
all are similarly affected by the lack
of shipping facilities at Portland. All
this buslnsss will go-Ut-tk sotmd- porta
unless Portland gets busy to take care
of the business.

Sheridan, Or., Aug. 10. There Is much

prospect of tho discontinuance of the
Oriental steamship service from Port
land, Officials of the Tamhlll Milling.
Power & Light company, of Sheridan,
a heavy shipper to this market, with a
prospective output of 20,000 barrels of
flour for the Orient In the coming sea
son, geclared today tha t jj dlscpnUnu
ance of this service will mean a very
considerable loss to the farming com
munity, because grain prices are sure
to -be materially affected. Their busi
ness demands that the situation be
quickly settled that the future output
may be adjusted accordingly.
Without direct service from Portland
to the Orient, this branch of the milling
company's business will be entirely
eliminated. '
WILCOX OP NO HELP
His Ships Don't Aid Other Mills,
Says E. E. Kiddle.
(Special to The Journal.)
La Grande, Or., Aug. 10. Union coun
ty, with Baker, Wallowa and other dis
tricts east of Pendleton in Oregon will
suffer greater hardships than any others
In the northwest unless Portland main
tains a direct oriental steamship line,
according to flour men long Inured in
the troubles of wheat and, flour ship
ments. They say that 40 per cent of
the wheat output of Union county will
encounter hardships If steamers are dis
continued. ""fiTfe -"kiddle," head of a string of five
big flour mills In Union county, that
handle 75 per cent of the local wheat,
has found a market for 60 per cent of
his flour In the orient. Hefiice the orient
Is his chief sales grounds and the Port
land oriental line has been the connect
ing link between this big business and
success.
Should the Pdrtland service be dis
continued, Tacoma and Seattle will be
his nearest seaports and It costs 60
cents a barrel to ship goods from Port
land to Senttle, after freighting to Port
land. This would ruin his business, he
explained, -as all profit would be gone.
From Pendleton westward, teynlnal
ratps are equal to Seattle, Taconia or
Portland, because of competitive lines,
but this Is not true hero or east of
here.
"I don't know how to express It In
dollars and rents," said Mr. Kiddle, "but
I do know that it Is going to work ser
ious hardship on us. That T. B. WHcox
of, the Portland Flouring Mlllsjcompany
has"vessols"chartereil " doesn't help us
any unless Portland maintains a servlco
we shall have to resort to Seattle or go
without a market.
f'Flfty per cent of our shipments
here from all the mills in Union county
goes to the orient. Interior points can
not b reached Because thjisre la-no Jus-
tlf labia rate to allow ua to compete with
nearby mills. ' , , -
"l am sure, I can't forecast wnat it
Is going to mean, If not a big and ser
ious loss to everybody in eastern Ore

MILLS, VP AGAINST IT '
Portland Most Keep Vp Line, Says
Athena' SbJpper.---;-:H-if
Atnena, or., Aug. 10. This section or
Umattla county, being- dependent to a
certain extent on the milling Industry,
would be vastly handicapped should
Portland permit its oriental steamship
service to be discontinued. M. I. "Watts,
manager of the Preston Shaffer Mill
ing company, said today:
The milling Interests of the Inland
empire are put to their .wits' end for
space fn vessels bound for the orient as
It Is, and with Portland connections cut
off, the situation would , be still worse.
"We have a 500 barrel mill In opera
tlon here, and.it. Is Tnjing flight and
day.. Our principal shipments are sched
uled for oriental points, and should the
present connections at Portland be an
nulled, we , would be forced to send all
oriental consignments via Seattle.
Mhe-L!3'4M -tonnage at that port has been
contracted for to, a large degree in ad
vance, ..sothat I. see only further com
piles tttm" by the'abrogatlon of , the Port
land service. Flour shippers with whom
I have discussed the question seem to
be united in the opinion that Portland
will not fa s- out' on the proposltlonr
but will muster a solid front In a suc
cessful effort to get and maintain a
reaj oriental shipping; service,
''Should even the present service
cease, not only would the milling inter
ests feel the effects, but Indirectly the
wheat raisers would bo losers also, for
the reason that the bulk of the Rraln
grown in Umatilla county Is ground Into
flour, and this flour, as a rule, finds
consumption in the orient. '
"Under present fcondltlons the mills
mur.t necessarily have" the grain, and
this being the case, higher prices accrue
to the raiser in sections where mills
are located. Consequently, with a pre
mium placed on shipping space, as
would necessarily result with the doing
away of the Portland oriental service,
the mills Of the Inland empire would be
up against it and the farmers with
them,
BIQ BUSINESS AT STAKE
Oriental Service Must Bo Hastened
to Save It.
'The need for a direct line of steam
ships out of Portland to the Orient Is
urgent If the requirements of the flour
mill men are to be considered," nam
August Fischer, manager of the-Fischer
Flour Mills, of Corvailis, who was in
Portland yesterday. "Portland will lose
all the business that she now has from
the flour industry In Oregon If she de
lays In securing this line at once.
"Our mill would not be affected like
some others, as we do not export any
flour but grind lor Jocal use, and have
trouble getting grain for that. How
ever, the line Is of vital Importance .to
others in tli trade and to the people
of Portland." ,

"I did," replied Mr. O'Dooley., "Jt
rained on Baturd'y afternoon and I
couldn't go to see the White Sox' thrlm
the Senators at tha baseball park, so
stayed home and give me mind .to
literature. I read the 'Aquil Taxer'
through and through, and now I have
Charles Haitch Shields on me private list
Iv the great masthers lv English stoyle.
There's nothin' to bate him this side lv
John Ruskin fcr beautiful figures lv

skinned a mile fr obscurity. Th' 11th

"Who Is he?" Inquired MacHennessy,
"I. don't remlmber the name, at. all."
"Didn't you see it in 'The Aquil
Taxer?' I suppose he Is the edlter iv
It. I never heard lv him before, me
self, and know nawthln' about him only
his name, except what I get fr'm radln'
what he writes. Th' opinion I've formed
is that Mr. Shields. Is a - cltlsen iv
Oregon that they can't fool or. hum
bug. He has a fine eye fr hidden
threachery and the likes lv that, and as
he's a pathrtot and thrue frlnd Iv the
people he Is glvln' thlm the benefit lv
his superior power to kape thlm fr'm
bein' buncoed be a lot lv schemers In
this campaign that's now goin' on. As a
detective iv underground rascality he Is
th' equal iv any Sherlock Holmei that
iver lived."
"I'm sorry I ain't rade It maself,"
commented MacHennessy. "I thought It
was all about taxes and the lolkes Iv
that, but nothln' so cxcitln' as bunco.
What's tho game, O'Dooley?"
"Well, accordln' to Mlsther Bhields,
'tis a. nefarious plot lv a gang lv con
spirators to get a law passed under
th' deceptive and misleading tltlo Iv
Graduated Itnrt TaT. The rale title lv It
should be, If I understand the glntle-
man, 'A law to put a tax on all land
according to Us unimproved value and
in addition thereto a specif lo tax on a
graduated scale on all land above the
value of ten thousand d611ars.' It's a
longer name fr It, MacHennessy, but
you or me might think It meant the same
thing- If we didn't have the Intellect lv
Mr. Shields to guide us, and as wan
might say to shield us, from the pitfalls.
But whin' ho goes on and tells us this
law they are thryin' to pass will plungo
the state iv Oregon Into chaos, ye can
aeo they must be a parcel lv unmiti
gated scoundrels."
"Hut what is the law' they want,
that's what I must first know," said
Mncllennessy.
"Ve don't need the lnf'rmatlon at all,"
replied O'Dooley. "Th' throuble with you,
MacHennessy, Is that you have a .bad

Sir. Shields to guide 'your opinions ye

But I may mlntlon that I have discov

Stato are afthcr Is a law to put all th'
taxes on the value lv land and stop
laxin' houses and the likes lv that. The

I did, MacHennessy. I read it, lvery

conclusion that It wouldn't hurt any

it would be all the government would
