This was the decision of the demo cratic caucus of the senate last night which adopted a resolution declaring that "congress should proceed to con sider and determine legislation' con cerning currency and banking Imme diately following the passage of the pending tariff bill." Not Bound on Currency Question. The resolution finally adopted was a composite effort which would not bind the senate democrats to any set currency policy. "The action of. tho caucus," said Senator Simmons, chairman of the fi nance committee, "means that we arc ready to stay here until snow files to carry out the work before us.

According to the story told over the long distance from Helix, Simerly had been drinking and became en gaged in a quarrel with another man in the barroom. Hess, it is said, step pod from behind the bar and, taking Simerly by the shoulder, told him to get outside whereupon the latter struck him in the side with a knife. Hess then knocked him down but re ceived another stab in the leg after which he succeeded in subduing his assailant. , The first stab punctured the right lung of Hess and the other severed a nartery In his leg. He bled profuse ly before the flow of blood was checked. He was taken to a room In the hotel and his injuries dressed. It Is not expected that his injuries will prove very serious.

PENDLETON HOPES TO GREET LANE Though Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane will spend three days in Oregon it ia not yet known whether he will make a visit to Pen dleton and the Umatilla reservation. It seems reasonably sure he will make a stop at Hermiston to view the West Umatilla project but the local com mittee is completely In the dark as to any visit here. In order to ascertain the secretary's intentions Leon Cohen has written to C. S. Jackson, who will entertain Sec retary Lane in Portland, asking him to learn as quickly as possible if a visit can be mado to this place. Mr. Jackson is to wire regarding the mat ter as soon as he can secure the need ed information. If the secretary is to stop here ar rangements for his reception and en tertainment will be carried out by a committee recently appointed by the Commercial Club and of which Col. J. H. Raley Is chairman. If men were as ingenious In finding the ways and means to carry insur ance as many of them are to frame excuses for putting it off, many a widow and orphan would have a dif ferent tale to tell.

MEAT HUE BOUND TO HIT UNITED STATES Situation is Critical, Declares Dr. D. A. Ramsay; Chief Inspector of Bureau of Animal Industry. t DROUTH IS RESPONSIBLE Conditions In West and Southwest Hasten Crisis Stringent Kales Against Importation of Cattle May Bar Meat from Other Countries Remedy Being Sought. WASHINGTON, Aug. ' 15. That the United States not only faces a famine in domestic meat but the stringent rules against Importation may bar meat and cattle from other countries necessary to fill the needs, was the declaration of Dr. D. A. Ramsay, chief inspector of the fed eral bureau of animal Industry, who declared the situation is critical. The drouth in the west and southwest, he said, had hastened a crisis which had been approaching for years. At the same time he asserts that conta gious diseases in livestock have devel oped in Argentina, the Indies, Aus tralia and New Zealand and other sources of supply. Ramsay said: "The department of agriculture has inspectors in these counties studying conditions In order to formulate an entrance inspection regulation for dressed meat and live stock. Much talk is heard of free meat to relieve the stringency. I don't forsee that result. Dressed beef now carries a ten point duty and even If meat were free it must meet the department's inspection rules. "Argentina. the greatest source of supply, does not fulfill the depart ment's regulations now. The drouth in the middle west is most serious. It means that Mexican grass fed cattle in the southwest, which heretofore have been driven into middle western fattening corrals, now will have no haven." He estimates the corn crop will not be more than 50 per cent normal. .' SENATE PUTS WHEAT ON THE FREE LIST WASHINGTON. Ore , Aug. IS.
