Commercial congress, today is
sued the official call for the 20th an
nual session of that association, to be
held in Denver August 16 to 21 in

pected, in the interest of closer inter

a discussion of questions of a political
nature.
Besides these questions of closer re
lations with the southern republics,
with especial reference to the early
completion of the Panama canal and
the consequent stimulating commer
cial development in the trans-Mississippi
states, the following questions
will come under discussion :
National defense, with special refer
ence to the needs of the Pacific coast
and Hawaii; an adequate merchant
marine and the need of government
aid in its upbuilding and maintenance;
conservation of natural resources.
This promises to be one of the leading
questions to come before the congress.
Irrigation and the reclamation of semi
arid lands will also be taken up, as will
waterway improvements, drainage of
submerged lands, scientific dry farm
ing, Alaska, separate statehonod for
New Mexico and Arizona, parcels post,
postal savings banks, insurance, trade
relations with Mexico, Central and
South America, Gulf ports and the rail
roads, Panama canal, Hawaii, immi
gration, good roads, sugar beet and
cane industry, Barataria and Lafourche,
national finance, consular service.
STRIKE IS OVER.
Paris Postal Employes Sue for Peace
and Are Met Half Way.
Paris, March 23. The great strike
of the employes of the postoffice depart
ment, which virtually has isolated
Paris and cut off France from commu
nication with the outside world for the
past week, collapsed today. The strike
committee decided to call off the em
ployes and made the first move to effect
a settlement, virtually suing for peace.
The government will meet the commit
tee half way.
Representatives of the linemen called
today upon M. Barthou, minister of
public works, ostensibly for the purpose
of protesting against the charges that
they had cut the wires, but during the
course of the interview they communi
cated to the "minister the terms on
which the allied associations collec
tively would resume work.
These were: First, the resignation
of M. Simyan, under secretary of posts
and telegraphs; second, that no em
ployes should be dismissed on account
of the strike. They desired also the
assurance that the delegates of the
association hereafter should be per
mitted to lay their grievances directly
before the minister of poblio works.
M. Barthou received the deputation
in a conciliatory spirit,. He said the
government could not discuss the resig
nation of an official except with parlia
ment, but he gave the delegation the
satisfaction it demanded on other
points.
Premier Clemenceau met the deputa
tion later and confirmed M. Barthou's
statement with regard to the attitude
ofthe government.
At the conclusion of these private
interviews with the ministers, the
strike committee met and decided upon
the resumntion of work tomorrow.
This decision was announced at a mass
meeting at which 5,000 strikers were
present.
Peace Pact Assured.
City of Mexico, March 23. It is
now believed a certainty that a confer
ence of the five presidents of Central
American republics will be held soon.
Word has reached here that Presidents
Cabrera, of Guatemala; Davilla, of
Honduras, and Zelaya, of Nicaragua,
have agreed to the proposed meeting.
It is thought that President Figueroa,
of Salvador, and the president of Costa
Rica will consent to the invitation
sent out by M. Echeverria, president
of the Central American branch of the
bureau of American republics.
Balkan Trouble Ends.
Belgrade, March 23. Peace is re
garded as assured. It was semi-offici-ally
stated tonight that the powers
would invite Servia tomorrow to de
clare the question of the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina settled and to
disarm and discharge its reservists.
Furthermore, it was said, the Servian
government would accede to this re
quest, thus opening the way for direct
negotiations between Austria and Ser
via for a commercial agreement.
Governor Cosgrove Improves.
Paso Robles Hot Springs, Cal.
March 23. That Governor Cosgrove is
improving so rapidly he will be able
to leave for Washington by May 1 to
assume the reins of government in that
state, is the opinion of Dr. F. W.
Sawyer, managing director, who says
the reports he has to give out are
highly encouraging.
13 Warships Ready in 1912.
Berlin, March 23. In view of the
assertions made in the British house of
commons that Germany, in the spring
of 1912, would have 17 warships, all
of them of the big-gun type, the Navy
department authorizes the statement
that in the autumn of 1912 Germany
will have 13 such vessels.
NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE
THE SPECIAL SESSION'
Salem, March 16. Tuesday after
noon will end the business of the Ore
gon legislature after a special session
of about 30 hours.
The house tonight adopted a resolu
tion for adjournment at noon Tuesday.
Speaker McArthur said it might be ne
cessary to turn the clock back.
Each house continued the organiza
tion of the regular session this morn
ing by adopting resolutions declaring
President Bowerman and Speaker Mc
Arthur the presiding officers.
Three bills have passed both houses,
one by Representative Bones, appro
priating $7,500 for expenses of the
special session, one curing a defective
emergency clause in the act creating a
board to eliminate duplications in cur
ricula of the Agricultural college and
the State university, and one appropri
ating funds for improvements in state
instituitions.
The house voted to submit the nor
mal issue to a vote of the people. A
bill has also been introduced appropri
ating $40,000 for each of the schools
to carry them until after the election
of 1910
In the senate there is a disposition
to ignore the normal question entirely
and it is doubtful if any action is taken
further than submit the whole thing to
a popular vote.
Both houses have refused to take up
any of the bills vetoed by Chamberlain.
Salem, March 17. No appropriations
for normal schools were made by the
Oregon legislature, whicn ended its
special session at 8 :40 tonight. The
lawmakers quit the capitol, leaving
dead in the house a senate bill granting
the schools $8,000 each for mainten
ance until next June.. The normal
forces repudiated the bill and its sup
ports could not muster the two-thirds
vote necessary to advance it to second
reading. The vote on suspension of
rules was 28 ayes to 16 noes.
!- Because the gross earnings tax laws
enacted by the initiative in 1906 were
killed by implication by a tax act of
the legislature in 1907, the ad varlorem
tax act of the regular session of 1909
was not touched by the special esssion.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to render inoperative the dairy inspec
tion act of the regular session.
An efforts to introduce new business
were defeated and the bills passed dur
ing the special session cure defects in
those passed at the regular session and
are as follows :

state ' institutions ; appropriation for
experiment station at Union; opening
duck season in Willamette valley Octo
ber 1 instead of October 15; protecting

for special session; reimbursing George
H. Small.
Oregon Scenery World's Finest.
Portland "The most beautiful scen
ery in the world is found in the vicini
ty of The Dalles," said . M. J. Ander
son, of the United States forest reserve
commission. "There is a roart leading
30 miles back through the mountains
from The Dalles that unfolds the most
wonderful sights I have ever looked
upon," continued the inspector. "At
one point Cloud Cap inn is to be seen
I, 500 feet below. Only eight miles of
the road will need repairing to make it
easily available for automobiles. I
have been impressed with the fact that
the development of Oregon! will make
the state known as the center of the
world's finest scenery."
Complain to Commission.
Salem George Taylor & Son, of
Star, have made complaint to the State
Railroad commission that the Oregon
& Southeastern Railway company has
made a demand that a spur owned by
the lumber company be turned over to
the railroad company, threatening to
refuse shipments in case this is not
done. The commission has a lvised the
lumber company that the railroad com
pany has no right to refuse shipments
from the spur.
Bishop Will Build Mill.
Salem Clarence Bishop, of the Sa
lem Woolen Mills company, has gone
to Pendleton to prepare for the con
struction of a $45,000 woolen mill.
The company recently purchased the
machinery in the old mill at Pendleton
and will erect a modern reinforced con
crete structure, rebuild and install the
old machinery, making a first class
plant. About 75 hands will be em
ployed and it is proposed that only high
high grade products shall be turned out
Upper Linn Wants Steel Bridge.
Brownsville Citizens of the west
ern portion of Linn countv are work
ing to secure the erection of a steel
bridge over the Calipooia river at this
point. The old bridge is in poor con
dition and has been condemned. The
taxpayers have asked the county court
for a steel bridge. Ten thousand dol
lars is the estimate for a 200 foot steel
span, and $5,600 for a wooden span.
New Sheep Commissioner.
Salem Governor Benson has ap
pointed Charles Cleveland, of Gresham,
Multnomah county, sheep commission
er, to succeed W. H. Steusloff, of
Salem, whose term of three years has
expired.- There are no perquisites at
tached to the office, aside from travel
ing expenses.
STATE OF OREGON
IRRIGATION SEEMS SURE.
New Contract Will Amply Protect All
Users Under Project.
Vale In order to bring in all the
land owners who have vested water
rights under the proposed government
Malheur project, a new contract has
been made which amply protects all
parties who have land under iirigation
from present water ditches. The con
tract states specifically the project
users shall be fully compensated for
their ditch rights when they sign up
their land with the government.
It is believed here that all owners of
land, who have heretofore held out,
will sign these contracts, and thus
practically insure the committee of the
full co-operation of every iniividual
having land susceptible to irrigation
under the project.
J. W. McCulloch and C. O. Thomas
have gone up the Malheur valley to se
cure the contracts of the ranches under
the farmers' ditch scheme west of
Vale. In view of the fact that more
than 100,000 acres have been signed
up exclusive of the military wagon
grants, the project is almost a cer
tainty. Festival Floats to Seattle
Portland The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition and the Oregon state com
mission are making strenuous efforts
to secure for Portland day at the
Seattle fair all the floats that will be
shown in the "Spirit of the Golden
West" parade at the Rose festival of
June 9. This pageant will be one of
the most beautifuj features of the car-,
nival, and will serve splendidly to ex
ploit the wonderful resources of the
Oregon country, as each float, car or
chariot will represent the matchless
fruit and other products indigenous to
the many important localities of the
great Northwest country. It is pro
posed to make the parade in Seattle an
exact replica of this particular parade
as seen in Portland. The Northern
Pacific railway in response to a request
from the A.-Y.-P. officials has agreed
to haul these floats from Portland to
Seattle and back again absolutely free
of charge, having been informed that
the Interstate Commerce commission
will interpose no objection to such a
plan, because the floats are to be sent
to Seattle for exhibition purposes only.
Catches Wildcats in Trap.
Albany Seven wildcat scalps were
left at the county clerk's office here a
few days ago by Frank Steingrandt, of
Foster, who is the first claimant for
the new wildcat bounty offered by Linn
county. Steingrandt caught all of the
wildcats in traps one at a time. He
says the animals were rather plentiful
in the vicinity of Foster, but that he
and his neighbors have set a number of
traps since the bounty was offered and
they are rapidly decreasing.
Arbor Day Annual Assured.
Salem The Arbor Day annnual for
the use of the public schools, April 9,
1909, has been issued by J. H. Acker
man, superintendent of public instruc
tion. The annual contains sugges
tions for making the interior of the
school buildings more attractive, direc
tions for setting out rose bushes, trees
and shrubbery on the school grounds
and much valuable informat on relative
to forest laws in Oregon and their pres
ervation. PORTLAND MARKETS.

RAILWAY DEMONSTRATIONS.
Every Safety Device Known Will Re'
ceive Test at A.-Y.-P. Exposition.
Seattle, March 22. Actual demon
strations of every railway safety de
vice, approved and unexploited, will be
made daily in the transportation build
ing and yards of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition, which will open on
June 1 in Seattle. -
The transportation building is now
being hurried to completion and tracks,
spurs, switches and "Ys" are already
laid for the most complete exemplifica
tion of general and special railway
tiaffic ever attempted on the grounds
of an exposition.
So desirous were Eastern locomotive
builders of taking advantage of reach
ing the Oriental field through the me
dium of the Seattle lair, that they pro
vided the major portion of the $75,000
which the construction of the transpor
tation building has cost, in order that
the structure should be of ample size
for their most complicated illsutrations.
Locomotives of all makes and all
periods will be exhibited. Everything,
from the old "hay burners" of the cot
ton belt, to the big transcontinental
mogul will be shown under full steam.
A modern passenger train, equipped
with the last work in Pullman service,
lights, brakes and wireless alarms will
be a daily show.
The electric end of transportation
will be given as complete exhibition aB
its rival. A fully equipped modern
trolley as well as a new underground
trolley, which it is claimed, does away
with all previous objections to the un
derground system, will be displayed in
operation.
Every known farm vehicle, reapers,
stackers, harvesters, plows and all else,
even to the harness for the horses, will
be Bhown and the big traction harvest
ers found working throughout the
West, will have a place, with all of
their latest improvements.
FOOD SUPPLY AFFECTED.
French Telegraph Strike Continues
and Famine Threatens.
Paris, March 22. The government
issued a reassuring statement tonight
concerning the strike, in which the sit
uation was said to be notably improv
ed, many of the strikers, especially the
telephone girls, having returned to
work. The strike leaders, on the oth
er hand, were loudly proclaiming war
to the hilt, and there are disquieting
rumors of railroad and other co-operative
strikes.
Disclosures in connection with the
strike indicate that the abuses and fa
voritism charged have been largely due
to the fact that politics have had much
to do with the administration of the
post and telegraph service.
The lack of food in the capital, an
outcome of the impossibility of for
warding payments, is making itself
felt today, and provision dealers de
clare that if there is no improvement
the city in a few days probably will be
confronted with famine conditions.
The loss to business in Paris alone is
variously estimated at from $600,000
to $1,200,000. Only a few wires today
connect Europe Paris with and the out
side world.
The government has formally notifi
ed the strikers that 48 hours of grace
will be allowed them to return to work,
after which their dismissal will be ir
revocable. NEW JAP CRISIS IN SOUTH.
County Officials in California Try to
Collect Poll Tax; Strike Snag.
OxnaH, Cal., March 22. Serious
labor trouble is threatened in the beet
fields here over the situation created
by the attempt to collect a county poll
tax from the 450 Japanese living in
Oxnard and employed in the beet fields.
This attempt, after they had paid the
city tax in this city, caused great re
sentment. The sheriff and deputy as
sessors in many instances seized horses
and goods owned by the Japanese and
later forced them to pay under threats
of selling their property.
Some of the Japanese have already
left for other parts of the state where
Japanese labor is in demand, leaving
the beetgrowers in serious straits for
laborers.
Tonight the sheriff and assessor say
it is probable the county will recede
from its position and return the money
collected.
Bill Cuts Drinking Time.
Salt Lake City, March 22. Both
branches of the state legislature today
passed a bill regulating the sale of
liquor. The bill gives to all counties
local option and to cities of 12,000 pop
ulation or more a separate vote. Sa
loons are to be open only from 7 a. m.
until 7 p. m., except on Saturday, when
the hours shall be from 7 a. m. to 6 p.
m. Special elections on the question
of local option are to be held on peti
tion. It is believed that the bill will
receive the signature of Governor
Spry.
Half Billion in Subways.
New York, March 22. The remark
able scope of Greater New York's plans
forp roviding adequate transportation
facilities is indicated in a statement
issued here today, which shows that
the expenditure of nearly $500,000,000
is contemplated. Of this amount near
ly $400,000,000 is included in projects
for tunnels and subways. Work in
volving a fourth of this total will prob
ably begin before the end of the pres
ent year.
Jap Ships Plan Voyage.
Tokio, March 22. Two ships of the
Japanese training squadron, leaving
Yokosuke on March 14, will visit vsri
ousp oints on the Pacific coast during
the spring and summer. The vessels
are the cruisers Aso and Soya.
WAGE WAR ABOUT
LUMBER-TARIFF
South Will Join With Coast to Fight
Proposed Cut.
Democrats Demand Smaller Duty on
Leather Goods, but West is Op
posed to Free Hides Louisiana
Wants Duty on Philippine Rice or
Quantity Restricted.
Washington, March 20. Members
on both sides of the house are lining up
and preparing to submit amendment
to the Payne tariff bill, in which their
constituents are interested. The main,
contention will be over the cut in the
lumber duty. It is understood that the
Southern representatives are almost
unanimous for retaining the present
duty of $2 per thousand feet. They
will have the support of many mem
bers from the North wc st and the Pa
cific Coast states.
Hides and leather manufactures also,
will be the subject of considerable de
bate. The Democrats will fight to.
have shoes and other product of leather
reduced 5 or 10 per cent more and have
hides retained on the free list.
On boots and shoes, according to the
new tariff, will be levied a duty of 15
per cent ad valorem. While this is a
reduction of 10 per cent ad valorem, it
is contended by those who favor fur
ther reductions that the shoemen have
admitted that they could stand a re
duction of 5 to 10 per cent more if
hides were admitted free. Western
representatives will make an earnest
effort to have a duty of 15 per cent,
again placed on hides.
The Louisiana delegation met today
to consider the effect that the free
trade provision for the Philpippiinea
would have on the rice industry. They
will endeavor to have the minority re
port favor a small duty on rice import
ed from the Philippine islands, or the
quantity entitled to free duty restrict
ed, as has been done with sugar and
tobacco.
CLEMENCEAU SUSTAINED.
French Chamber Stands By Premier
on Strike Situation.
Paris, March 20. Premier Clemen
ceau and his colleagues who faced the
strike interpellations in the chamber
of deputies today, determined to se
cure indorsement of the government's
position in the premises or retire from,
office. They won, for the chamber re
jected by a vote of 354 to 188 a resolu
tion providing for a commission to in
vestigate the causes of the strike.
The number of strikers has beeti
largely increased. The government,
with the aid of military telegraphers
and soldiers acting as letter carriers,
has been successful in securing a sem
blance of resumption in all branches,
of the Bervice. In the provinces the
strike is constantly securing new ad
herents, and in many larger centers it
is complete. The strike leaders claim
that victory is within their grasp. The
government has prepared a bill to ex
tend the time on financial paper until
the state services are again normal.
STEAMER LINE TO PANAMA.
Coast Conference Asks Government
to Aid or Create One.
San Francisco, March 20. A resolu
tion calling upon the United Statea'
government to encourage the establish
ment of a privately owned steamship
line on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans,
operated by way of the Panama rail
road, or, failing that, to supplement
the government-owned Altantic line by
a Bimilar line in the Pacific, , was
adopted here today by representativea
of various commercial organizations of
the Pacific coast.
The representatives met for the pur
pose of discussing the effect of the In
terstate Commerce commission's decis
ion in the Spokane case on Pacific
coast jobbing interests. Commercial
bodies from Porland, Seattle, Tacoma,
Sacramento, Los Angeles and this city
were represented.
Mine Sells for $2,000,000.
Phoenix, Ariz., March TO. Papers
were recorded in Florence today con
summating the deal made three months
ago whereby Lewissohn Brothers, of
New York, acquire the property of the
Kelvin Calumet Mine company, in the
Ray Kelvin district, Pinal county, fcr
$2,000,000. The terms are that $300,
000 is to be spent in development in
the next year, the balance of the price
then to be paid if the property devel
ops as specified. This is the ground
on which the Ray Central company
was organizd by the Lewissohns.
Wizard to Leave Pasadena.
Pasadena, Cal., March 20. There
