Oregon potato growers must look to
the quality of their crop for they are
being undersold in practically all centers
at this time and the call for potatoes
from thlB state is likely to decrease in
the years to com unless there is a
radical change In the situation.
Kor years the Org-on Burbank took first place
anion the potato market of the entire Taclflc
alupe: In fact, were known for their quality from
una end of the country to the other. Today the
Oiegqn Hurbank Is even discriminated against in
the local trade while in California it no longer

Now in Market
Grape Season Here Is Formally
Opened With Quality Arrivals.
By Hyman II. Cohen
Oregon Tokays have arrived. The
grape season is really opened here. Cali
fornia grapes of all sorts and varieties
have been arriving for some time, but
not until today did the season for real
grapes open.
This event is always scheduled with
the arrival of the first To"kays from
Jackson county.
First arrivals showed Intensely good
quality and within the few days the
colors will be so bright that no other
grape from no other section can be
compared with this superb Oregon
stock.
There la something In the soil and the
atmosphere In Jackson county that
gives to the Tokay grape its best color
and quality. Not only does the stock
look good and taste good, but it has a
keeping quality that defies all competi
tion. Those deairing special information regarding any
market, should write the Market Editor, Oregon
Journal, enclosing stamp for reply.

SAVE GOVERNMENT MUCH
SEATTLE TRIES TO
SELLING GOVERNMENT
Trade Being Secured by This City Is
Causing Northern Merchants Some
WorryWould Foree Local Men to
Lose Money on Sales.
Seattle Is jealous of the Inroads being
made by Portland firms in the sale of
fresh produce to the United States gov
ernment for the Alaskan frallroad com
mission and is making a very desperate
effort to regain its prestige.
For 8onje time Portland firms have
been "breaking Into the market", for
the Alaskan railroad commission' and
this has caused the northern trade to
adopt methods to counteract them.
Because nf its being a primary producing
enter, Portland has not only been able to sell
eggs and butter to the government at lower
prices than have been available at Seattle, but
has likewise paid the producer top prices.
It appears that as soon as word Is given out
that a Portland firm' secures the contract for
eggs from the government, Seattle firms im
mediately call up competitors of this firm at
Portland and endeavor to have them go into
the country with higher bids In ordef to make
the successful firm lose money. It is an old
gam and ha3 worked well for some time. Now
the trade here is getting onU the curves of
me eeattie interests and it Is no longer willing
to boost prices hera to force other Portland
firms to lose moneey on the government busi
ness sa that they would be compelled to stop
bidding and allow Seattle to sell this stock to
the government at whatever price it chose
to ask.
Reports indicate that the government has
saved many thousands of dollars by buying at
Portland.

Trade In the grain markets continues
extremely quiet with little activity
showing at Oregon primary centers.
Threshing continues in some sections
of the Willamette valley and some dam
age to the crops are reported as a
result of recent rains.
Buyer at tidewater are not inclined to stock
up with coarse grains at tiii time and the
lower prices recently offered are by no means
acceptable to the producers.
Millstuffs continue extremely scarce with
prices firmer, but are generally unchanged for
the day. "

UNITED STATES IS NOT
OUTVOTEDIN LEAGUE
(Continued From Page Ode)
presented to President Wilson were as
follows :
Question No. 1 Will you state
the underlying consideration that
dictated an awarding of six trotes
to the JBfltish Empire in "the as
sembly, and is It true that Great
Britain will outvote us in the
League of Nations and thereby con
trol the league's action?
Answer No. 1 The consideration
which led to the assigning of six
rotes to the self-governing portions
of the British Empire was. In ef
fect, that they have In all bat their
foreign policies become antono
mous self-governing states, their
policy In all bnt foreign affairs being
independent of the British govern
ment, and In many respects dissim
ilar from it, Bnt It' Is not true
that the British Empire ran out
vote vs in the league, because In
every matter except the admission
of new members to the leagas, no
action can be taken without the
concurrence by unanimous vote
of the representatives of the states
which are members of the council,
so that In all matters of action, the
affirmative vote of the United
States Is necessary, and equivalent
to the united vote of the . represen
tatives of the several parts ef the
British Empire which cannot off
set or overcome the vote of the
United States.
Question Xo. 2 Is it trOe that
under the League of Nations the
foreign countries can order the
sending .of United States troops to
foreign countries?
Answer No. 2 It Is not. The
right of congress to determine such
matters is in no wine Impaired.
Question No. 3 What effect will
the League of Nations have In either
forwarding or hindering the fiinal re
storation of Shantung to China?
What effect will the League .of Na
tions have in preventing the further
spoliation of China and the abroga
tion of all such special privileges
now enjoyed In China by all foreign
countries?
Answer No. 3 The League ef Na
tions will have a very powerful ef
fect in forwarding the final restora
tion Of Shr.ntnng to China. No other
instrumentality or action can be sub
stituted which could bring that re
sult about. The authority of the
league, "under Article -I, -will be
constantly directed toward safe
guarding the territorial Integrity and
political Independence of China. It
will therefore absolutely prevent the
further spoliation of China, promote
the restitution to China of the sev
eral privileges now long enjoyed by
foreign countries, and assure China
of the completion of the process by
which Shantung will be restored to
full sovereignty. In the past there
has been no tribunal which could be
resorted to for any of these pur
poses. Question No. 4 Is there anything
In the League of Nations covenant
or the peace treaty which directly
or indirectly, tn any manner, imposes
upon the United States any obliga
tions, moral or otherwise, of the
slightest character, to support Eng
land in any way In case of revolt in
Ireland?
Answer No. 4 There Is not. The
only guarantee obtained la the cove
nant Is against external aggression
and those who framed the covenant
were scrupulously rarefnl In no way
to Interfere with what they regarded
as the sacred right of self-determination.
Question No. 5 What effect, if
any, will the League of Nations'
covenant have in either, hindering or
furthering the cause of Irish free
dom? Answer No. $r It was net possible
for the peace conference te act with
regard to the self-determination of
any territories except those which
had belonged to the defeated em
pires, bnt in the covenant of the
League of Nations there has been set
rtnttng
The utmost
economy of time
and material
consistent with
good work
is exercised always.

FIRST AND OAK
np for the first time, la' Article XI,
a forum te which all claims ef self -determination
which are likely to (
disturb the peace ef the werld or the '
good understanding between nations
upon which the peace of the world
depends, can be brought.
These Questions and answers repre
sent the position which the president
has taken in the stronghold of the men
who are chiefly opposing the ratifica
tion of the treaty. He has announced
time and again that he is willing to
reply to any questions that may be
addressed to him dealing with the gen
eral peace situation and that he is ever
ready to make explanations that will
make for a better understanding be
tween the senators who represent reser
vations designed to express their belief
of what the treaty language actually
means and himself.
NO COMPROMISE WITH ENEMT
But under no circumstances will the
president he says, even assume to com
promise with his opponents who would
send the treaty back to the peace com
mission for renegotiation or allow It to
be lost by defeat.
Tired out with his address In the
Auditorium here last night, the presi
dent rested until a late hour. He will
make a final address here in San Fran
cisco at a luncheon this afternoon and
will address a big crowd in the Oak
land Auditorium, across the bay, to
night.
The president, since his arrival on the
coast, has talked like a man with an
'ace in the hole." His attitude has con
talned a sw agger that has been designed
to carry authority with it. Today mem
bers of his personal party declared that
the outcome was in eight. They insisted
that Senator Hiram Johnson, who has
been on his track for more than a week,
will not come to tho Pacific coast They
declared that the senator will return to
Washington to lead the fight there to
prevent ratification of the treaty. And
they Insisted today that the ratification
is an absolute certainty.
CERTAIN OF TICTORT
Names are not mcntlonal by the presi
dent. The men in this party who are
keeping track of developments are not
giving out their facts and figures. How
ever. It is known that what they ex
pect to do is to defeat every amend
ment or reservation that goes to the
heart of the treaty by far more than
bare majority. And on the final vote
for ratification the president's figures
ehow only 15 votes that are certain to
be cast In opposition.
The president this afternoon made It
very plain that he does not Intend to
compromise on the Irish question, the
Shantung problem or the declaration that
under the treaty the various nations of
the world can direct American troops
and send them abroad at will.
FOUR PRISONERS CUT
WAY OUT OF COUNTY
' JAIL IN VANCOUVER
Two Are Ex-Convicts and Are Be
lieved to Be Desperate;
Visitors Blamed.
Vancouver, Wash., Sept. 18. Four
prisoners sawed their way out of the
county Jail during the night and made
their escape. No trace of them has been
found this morning,
Harry Gilbert Gregory, arrested July
13 for the alleged theft of a watch from
Moore's restaurant ; Floyd S. Baxter,
arrested June 7 for alleged connection
with the robbery of McMaster's store
at Camas ; Boyd Holcomb, alias Boyd
Hogan, arrested September 1 in Seattle,
charged with theft of a car from Chris
Olson of Image, and Joe Brennan, alias
Joe Lane, arrested at Seattle and on
parole from the penitentiary, are the
fugitives. Descriptions of the men are
being sent broadcast.
Tuesday was visiting day at the Jail
and It is supposed that a visitor passed
a hack saw to one of the men. Other
prisoners were forced to look on under
penalty of instant death while the four
men sawed their way from their cells,
then disconnected the alarm wires and
sawed their way through a window tn
the bathroom. The severed bars In the
window were bent aside and the outside
screen removed. After making their
way through the window the men re
placed the screen, hiding the evidence
of their escape from passers-by. Other
prisoners gave the alarm immediately.
Holcomb and Brennan are ex-convicta
and are believed to be desperate.
Whether or not they are armed is not
known.

man of the meeting. He tried to brine

remark that "I Introduce the president
the speaker of the evening," ha
"passed the buck" to the president.
WINS CLOSE ATTENTION
Wilson made no attempt to speak
for a considerable period.
There were evidences that persona
surrounding the shouting men were
taking measures to silence them indi
vidually. Starting against this handicap of .
din that kept his voice from reaching
a scant third Of tha crowd, Wilson v
gradually overcame the difficulty ,and
before his speech was half done had
the close attention of the vast thronr.
He went deeper into the matter of
self-determination for subject peoples
than In any previous speech. The prowd
facing him was largely of Irish ex
traction and listened Intently.
In diplomatic language, Wilson uttered
what many considered an Intimation
that the United States might Intercede
for Ireland's cause after the League of
Nations becomes a fact.
HELPING SMALLER NATIONS
Explaining It was not within the
province of the peace conference to act
uppn the right of self-determination of
spy peoples except those Included in the
territories of the defeated empires,
Wilson asked: "What does the League
of Nations do for the right of self-
determination?"
"The moment, the covenant of the
League of Nations Is adopted," he said,
"it becomes the business of the league
the right of any member of the
league to call attention to the desire of
seir-determlnatlon of any people, If such
desire is likely to affect the peace of the
world or the good understanding be
tween nstlons."
The last clause "or the good under
standing between nations," waa brought
out slowly and with great significance.
Wilson had Just asked, "Where before
have some of my fellow countrymen,
who want a forum upon which to cop-
duct a hopeful agitation, been offered
tne opportunUy to brlri(t their case to
the Judgment of manalndT"
rOINT STARTS CHEERING
Intercession by any nation now for a
subject people of another friendly nation
might be considered an unfriendly act,
said Wilson. All this would be changed,
he explained.
Whether rightly or notj a large por
tion of the crowd seemed to read special
significance Into the president's state
ment, and a volley of cheers resulted.
The throng was swept by emotion at
one point In the speech. The president
was speaking of the terrors of war and
how wars would not end without the
League of Nations. The trembling voice
of a man rose above the president's.
"God bless you, Woodrow Wilson ; God
bless you." he cried.
The president spoke for an hour.
