LAFOLLETTE ATTACKS RECIPROCITY STEELHEAD TROUT
TO BE PLANTED IN
. - LOCAL STREAMS
AND DECLARES PROGRESSIVES
WANT REAL REVISION
Washington, July 22. Assailing the press of the United
oi.tos for its support of Canadian reciprocity Senator La-
Toilette made his closing speech against this bill in the senate
daT. He expressed his belief that the newspapers would
saffer a loss of influence for the support they have given to
leeislation in which he said "they have a direct money interest."
He referred to the interests of newspaper owners in the matter
of the pulp features of the Dili.
LaFol'ette defended the progressive republicans from the
charge they have changed front on the tariff and are now oppos
ing partial tariff revision, as embodied in the reciprocity bill.
He said the progressives stood just where they did in the tariff
fight of 1909, but that the reciporcity bill was not a true reppub
jjcan measure. ,
"I oppose this bill because it belies its title," said LaFollette.
It is not reciprocity."
He declared the democratic party had violated its own
urinciples by aligning with the republican high tariff forces, and
denounced the reciprocity bill as "a confidence game," citing
what he said would result in a loss of $40,000,000 alone to
'he farmers in the three states of Minnesota, and North and
South Dakota, from the operations of the agricutural schedule
of the agreement.
LaFollette severely criticised President Taft for his attitude
regarding the bill.

Wickersham Believes Supreme
: Court's Decision. Was
' r Benefical. .. .
Hancock, Mich., July 22. The big
combinations like the Standnrd Oil
md Tobacco trust are going to be
pllt up Into a number of parts with
out connection or monopoly of power.
This was the prediction in an address
here by Attorney-General Wlckcr
itiam answering "people who are say
ing the decisions of the Supreme
court do not renlly mean anything."
Incidentally Mr. Wickersham took
occasion to trace the guiding hand of
President Taft in the policy of the
department of justice, concluding his
tpeech with the remark that "No
mat'er who should be nt the head of
that department, so long as W. H.
Taft Is president, no other policy
could obtain."
Mr. Wickersham then gave an ac
count of the activities of the "Peo
ple's law office," the department of
justice. ,
"First of all." he said, "there are
the great trust cases in which you.
In common with the whole country,
have been so much Interested. The
government scored great victories
there. Do not let anybody deceive
yon as to that. If the court had held

A company is being organized in
Portland to operate the Great
Northern mine in the Blue River dis
trict, according to information re
ceived in Eugene recently, it Is said
that Portland capital exclusively will
be furnished to place the property In
operation again and experienced min
ing men will 'bo put In charge.
For a number of years this well
known mine has been idle, financial
difficulties having beset the old com
pany after n great deal of develop
ment work had been done, a fine ore
reducing mill had been installed and
some gold taken out. Attorney J.
M. Williams, of Eugene, has been act
ing as trustee for the numerous
creditors of the company, and
last April cave to F. K. Lltzenberg,
of Portland, a contract for sale of the
property. He has been at the mine
ever since, representing the Portland
people who are furnishing the money
for the new corporation that is being
organized.
Mine Is Rich.
The Great Northern is known to
be one of the richest properties In
the IthiG River district and for a
while after the mill was stnrted, 'act
ual dividiwds were declared, but
either through mismanagement or
the wrong kind of machinery or
something of the sort, the company
was forced to cease operations and
the plant has been idle since. H. C.
.Million, formerly of Eugene, now re
siding in Portland, promoted the old
company and sold shares of stock to
hundreds of people in the state and
on the const, many Eugene people
being among them.
It is good news to the mining
world and the people of this part of
the state In general to learn that
the mine is again to be operated.
Lane County Game and Fish
Association About to Get
. 100,000 Young Fish.
Arrangements are about to be
completed by the Lane countv Fish
and Game Protective Association to
secure a shipment of steelhead trout
which will be planted in the waters
of the McKenzle and Willamette ri
vers In an effort to introduce that
species of fish In this county. Master
risn waraon t.'ianton has promised
the local members that If it Is pos
sible for him to secure the voting fish
Eugene will get them. The request
was made by the local association al
most too late in the season, yet it is
quite probable that they will be fur
nished through the coiirtesv of. the
Oregon fish hatchery authorities. A
shipment, if they can be obtained,
will be received in August and an
other In the spring.
The steelhead trout Is a new fish
for. this vicinity, although they are
found in the lower Wlllnmette.They
abound in large numbers In Rogue ri
ver. They are larger than the red
side variety and are verv gamev,
putting up as hard a fight in coid
water as the average sportsman cares
to handle.. They run In size all the
way up to 20 and 24 Inches If thov
can be successfully Introduced In the
fticrjenzie and Willamette thev will
add, greatly to the popularity of these
streams.

LANE COUNTY DESTINED TO BE
ROYAL ANNE CHERRY CENTER
OF ENTIRE WORLD
An Industry that Is to be carried
on In Lane co:inty on au enormous
scale, and which Is to make Eugene
famous tho world over Is that of
cherrv growing. During the pres
ent season, which Is just ended. Hu
gene bus shippid to all parts of the
United States 457. Mill pounds ol
Royal Anne cherries or over 22S
1-2 tons. Thev were picked entire
ly from old orchards, and according
to the estimates of local fruit men.
there are three times as many acres
of now orchards already set out anil
about to hear lu but a year or ho.
This will tripple or quadruple the
cherry crop of Lane county during
the next year or so. At present Eu
gene ships more cherries than any
other place in the entire world, as
ns far ask nown. by well informed
fruit men. Salem has held this
place until the present year, but
Lane county's crop now exceeds
that of Marlon county by over 30
tons. The figures herewith quoted,
do not even represent a total, Tor
cherries are still coming lu. Two
orchards in particular. the Dunn
and tho Chase orchards, will raise
the total to over 230 tons.
Profits are KimrinniiH.
Tho profits In cherry raising are
enormous. According to figures
prepared by J. O. Holt, the manag
er of the Eugene Fruit Growers' as
sociation, an average profit would
be at least $305 an acre. Taking
an average of the various typical
orchards about Eugene and the
erop yielded this year, it was found
that between six and' eeveu tons
were harvested from an acre. The
cost of picking cherries ranges from
60 cents to $1 n hundred pounds,
but, taking a maximum. $lli0 an
acre should be allowed for picking.
For cultivation, spraying and prun
ing, not more than $15 should bo
allowed. This makes a total ex
pense of $135 an acre. This year
the price received bv the grower
for the rherries was $S0 a ton, nnd
assuming an average of six or sev
en tons to pie acre, each acre would
produce no less than $500 worth of
thefriivl.: This would leavo a mini
mum of $305 as a revenue from
one acre of laud. Nor is this year
considered an unusually good or
heavy year, but as Mr. Holt ex
pressed it: "This has been a mighty
good normal year there have been
better years, and there have been
worse."
With such profits ns theso, tho
raising of cherries is bound to In
crease still more rapidly than It
has during the past seven years,
und. too. It Is not believed that this
Increased supply will materially
lower tho price, for cherries are a
fruit that ran bo grown only In a
few localities and there will always
be a demand for them. One thing
that will keep the cherrv acreage
comparatively low, however, Is the
long period required for ninturlty.
It requires n troo five or six voars
to bear. This will deter many who
nre seeking immedlale rclurns for
tnelr money from investing, nnd
there is much other fruit with goood
profits that will develop In- hall
the time.
Lack of Help. .
A problem that will also confront
the cherry growers Is that of har
vesting their crop. The cherry crop,
like the hop rrop. must bo picked
when ripe, nnd In a comparatively
short space of time, generally not
over two weeks. To do this a host
of pickers Is needed. This year no
le.-s than 500 pickers worked In thft
cherry orchards about Eugene. But
when the demnnd Is for three or
four times this number, It. may be
necessary lo go outside the county
for labor nud to bring foreign la
bor to tide the growers over the
period of picking.
Advantage of o-oiicintloii.
The marketing of the cherrlea
has much to do with commanding
a price, and for Eugene's promi
nence as a cherry center. much
credit must he Igven to tho Eugene
Fruit Growers' association with a
cannery In Eugene. Instead of each
grower being obliged to find a mar
ket for himself, this association,
with Its representatives alert for
the best market, sells the entire
crop In a few places. For Instance,
practically the entire Lane county
crop was sold this year three
mouths In advance to markets In
New York and Chicago. It would
require a small train In Itself to
transport tho 20 carloads of cher
ries that will have been shipped
from Eugene this season. Of this
number of carload lots. 16 . have
been barreled imiiI shipped east.
Each car carries SO barrels, or to
be exait. 1 202 barrels of Royal
Anne cherries have been put lip
In Eugene this year. The remaining
cars consist of three carloads of
cherries shipped fresh In refrigera
tor cars r ol ocal markets, nnd one
cnrload that has been canned. In
ol the above figures the cherries re
ferred to are Royal Amies and do
not Include the many other varie
ties, from pie cherries to black Re
publicans, that have been ptit up
anil handled by the Eugene can
nery. Berry, Hciisou AlMtit Over..
The run on berries at the
cannery Is ulso nearly finished. The
loganberry crop Is short this year,
and tho shipments from the can
nery will not exceed BOO cases, or
scarcely two-thirds that of last
year. The red raspberry crop la

with a total of 150 cases.
