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."

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.

" 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.

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.
