Washington, MY 14 "Seventy-fire per cent of the clothing sold in the. Unit ed ; States is adulterated,", said Con gressman F. O, Llndqulst of the Elev cnthMfchlgan district, today., "I have Just introduced a pure fabric ; and leather bill, which, if enacted into, law, will guarantee to the consuming publlo pure fabrics in the way pure food Is guaranteed to them" now, "By tuch t law I do not propose to prohibit the manufacture of inferior merchandise, but to' make It unlawful to Bell Inferior goods for the genuine. Each article ,wlll bear a label stating the quality of material from which the article Is made, "Not only will this bill, if enacted Into law, mean a great saving In dollars and cents to the public, but it will In sure the public sanitary goods, as the bill provides that all wearing apparel shall be fumigated before leaving the place of manufacture." "You have no conception of the great percentage of manufactured commodi ties that are adulterated by the manu facturers for no other purpose than to permit them to take an unjust profit from the pockets of the people. There Is scarcely an article of any conse quence manufactured from , fabric or leather but what is adulterated In some manner or other, yet they are all placed upon the American market for the gen uine article, and the publlo la com pelled to pay a genuine price for them, and in no case have I found It neces sary to counterfeit the goods or mer chandise, except for the purpose of added profit. I find In my Investiga tions that there Is very little adulter ating done in the high class of merchan dise, excepting silks, bo that you can readily see that the practice of adul terating falls heaviest upon the great masses of people who can least afford to stand the strain of the high cost of living." . "I have devoted over five years," con tinued Mr. I.indqulst, 'In the Interest of a pure fabric and leather law, and my investigations show and prove that 75 per cent of the clothing, wearing apparel and shoes worn by the average wage earner are adulterated, so you see that a law of this kind will protect the very people who most necessarily need pro tection. Not only would it protect the ultimate consumer, but It would protect the retail merchants of this., country who are tooay blamed for selling In ferior qualities? I pfopose to place the blame exactly where It belongs. "I have sent out nearly 2,000,000 pieces of literature throughout the United States, covering every congres sional district, asking the people to ad vocate the merits of this measure; au.l I have the promise) of over 6000 worn ens' clubs who have agreed to cooperate with me, and I am satisfied that the country wide interest that is mani fested In' this momentous question will result In the passage of this bill. Our government has long maintained a department for the purpose of test ing and analyzing the various pro ducts purchased under contract for gov ernment supplies. They also employ experts at high salaries to watch thu construction of their goods. Why do they do It? The question answers it self: Because they realize the necessity of protecting the government against fraudulent practice of counterfeiting goods, and the pubic demands the samu protection for the same reason." "; (Special to The Journal.) The Dalles, May H. During the past few , daya fieavy rains have fallen all over Wasco county and have so thor ougilyet the ground, that plowing of summer fallow has been resumed. . Prior to these rains the ground had become too dry In many places to plow and considerable of the summer fallow had not been worked. fow all the land that was to1 ci'op last year can be. summer fallowed and put Into condition, for fall seeding. The rains wore quite beneficial to growing crops. White the fall grain was not suffering for,want of mois ture, It was getting tolerably dry'and will be considerably benefited .by the rains. Taking .the county over, the fall grain looks very well, though It Is some-, what backward ana-is notso promising as at this time a year ago; however,' the prospect for a heavy crcrp,; t there are occasional showers ln(June, Is good. Kruit prospects are better than they were a year ago; especially is this true of cherries. The trees almost every where are well laden and the danger of frost is now past What fruit there is on the trees will stick and mature. Peach, and apricot frees are also well laden, and should yield good crops. Gardens are extremely backward, fully three weeks later than is usual. IR0W RIVER ROAD GAP NOW TO BE IMPROVED (Snerlal to 111. Journal.! Cottage Grove. Or., May 14. Among other pieces of road work that will be done this year, work commenced yes terday on the. Row River road at the edge of the city limits. Through the dispute over city. boundary lines, a half mile or more of this road was left last year after some fresh grading work had been done. This piece of road got the reputation of being one of the worst pieces in the county while a piece far ther out is acknowledged to be the best. The boundary dispute has been settled and the first road work to be done here will b the macadamizing of this Bhort stretch of mudholes. A second story will probably be added this year to the Armory building which Is owned by the local Masonic body. The addition will be used entirely for lodge purposes and will give commodious quarters. Cottage Grove is now preparing prize lists for its fall industrial fair and school children's exhibition, to be held September 18-19-20. A baby show has been arranged for the afternoon of the last day. The best of the exhibits will be taken to the county fair at Eugene. - Auto Bargain Directory There are many who wish to dispose of their automobiles and to do so, offer them at a bargain.

" SpeHal to The Journal.) Hood River, Or., May 14. At a meet ing of tho Commercial club Monday night President W. L. Clark was appoint ed to head a committee to meet with the Portland water board to take up the nYatter of Portland's claim to a portion of the Hood River watershed at Lost Lake, which ig sought to be incorpor ated into the Bull Run reserve and from which it is sought to exclude pedestri ans and vehicles from' reaching Jones creek and reaching the summit of Huckleberry mountain. The Portland bill is now pending In congress and It Is thought it will never be passed with the restrictions asked by the Portland board on account of the opposition set up by Hood River. All that the citizens of Hood River ask Is a highway through two sections of its own water sjied, and it appears that enough support has been secured, with outside senators and repre sentatives to assure Hood River its al leged rights.

Nltchy, Confidence of the public is the goal we are striving for. We do not expect to reach it without deserving to. Nothing but honest dealing, efficient and courteous service will win it. We believe that that part of the public who have had experience with us will agree that we have made much progress towards the goal we are striving for. In the operation of our business this question of confidence of the public is always taken into consideration, for instance in the repair department, it is customary in a great many shops to exclude the owner absolutely, we not only do not exclude the owner, but invite his presence to his heart's content, we permit either he or his driver to assist on the job if they like, our policy is to keep the cost of each job down to the lowest possible point, and besides we like to have the owner know all he possi bly can about his car, and there is no better way than to be present when the car is torn down. The shop which excludes the owner may noj have anything to cover up, and yet the owner would feel more wnfidence if he were permitted in; we have nothing to cover up, and we do not give the owner a ghost of a chance to suspicion that we have, we work oh the theory that the best way to create confidence is to turn on the light. .
