Cottage Grove, Dallas, Salem, llrowns ille, Independence, Gresbam, Monmouth, Xewberg, Springfield and Roseburg will attend a meeting to be held in the Green Parlor of the Portland Commercial Club for the purpose of organizing a sub-central branch of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, will elect one member of the board of managers for the Spokane show and will complete the details of a campaign for marketing the 1914 crop of fruit in Western Oregon. Mr. H. C. Sampson, secretary of the N. P. F. D. who is directing this movement, said: "Briefly stated, the distributor in this case will be the farmer himself in the selling game. It is purely co-operative. The organization will sell on a commiss ion of 10 cents per box, which is suf ficient to pay the expenses of salar ied agents in all parts of the world and of 67 special representatives. Through these agents we distribute the fruit to all parts of the world, keeping markets fully supplied but never overloaded." In order to stimulate interest among stock breeders in Oregon, the Oregon Exposition Commission an nounces that $10,000 will be set aside as prizes for the best stock from this state exhibited at San Francisco next year. It is hoped that on completion of the budget it will be possible to increase this sum to $15,000. This will be in addition to the $ 1 75.t't'( which will be dis tributed in livestock prizes by the authorities of the exposition. Business men of John Day are or ganizing in an effort to secure new enterprises in that valley. Accord ing to a statement issued by them, there are exceptional opportunities for a roller flour mill and for an up-to-date creamery. They say that all flour used in Grant county has to be hauled in from distant outside points while grain of all kinds is shipped out of the valley, and that in John Day and liear valleys a large amount of milk is produced, a large part of which is hauled 4 0 miles to Prairie City, the nearest creamery. Busi ness men and property owners are ready to lend all possible assistance to the establishment of these indus tries. Work has been commenced iu the preparation of a 400-acre tract of land one mile from Hermiston for the purpose of seeding the entile acreage to alfalfa. The owner of the tract expects the venture t: ! immensely successful, as ho has ..ts procMc'icg alfalfa in that vicinity for a number of years. It having been a sorted that a large part of the land in the 1'matilla Project is infertile and non-productive, the Oregon Con er.ation Com mission has had a representative go arefully over the entire section, and his report, just sent in. indicates that under intelligent management and cultivation that soil is extreme ly productive and that the majority f the farmers are doiiig veil. He states that the bank nt Hermiston 'ias in the past IS m -uiths loaned to the farmer, for the pur hase stock and the no-.-s lire being iroiiiplly paid at maturity.

While the passage by the senate of the amended tolls bill may be super ficially heralded as "another triumph for President Wilson." it Is obviously a victory of the Pyrrhian sort. "An other such and xve are undone," say some of the administration support ers. While the president xvill probably sign the amended measure, it is known that the adopted Simmons Norris amendments are not satisfac tory to him. The president has not had Iiis way in "ungrudging mea sure." The amendments were grud gingly accepted by the administration after it became apparent that if the president should Insist on trying to force an un-amended house bill through the senate there would be grave probability of its defeat. As finally passed the house bill carries this important reservation.: "Provided, that the passage of this act shall not be construed or held as a waiver or relinquishment of any right the United States may have under the treaty with Great Britain, ratified the 21st of Febru ary, 1902, or the treaty with the re public of Panama, ratified February 2(1, 1904, or otherwise discriminate in favor of its vessels by exempting the vessels of the United States or its citizens from the payment of tolls for passing through said canal, or as in any way waiving, impairing or af fecting any right of the United States under said treaty or otherwise xvitb respect to the sovereignty over or the ownership, control and the regula tion of the conditions or charges of tratlic through the same." The distinction between this grudging action and the ungrudging epeal asked by the president is this it leaves the whole issue open to he threshed out in the coming poli tical campaigns. The president had lihriued that discrimination is in b ar violation of the llay-Pauncefote treaty. Congress xvouhl not travel . ith him that far. It says, in effect, that the treaty may or may not bar discrimination. If not, the United States expressly reserves all its rights to deal as it pleases xvitb its domes tic commerce. The net result of President Wil son's opening of the tolls question is to provide his political opponents with a nexv issue in 1914 and 1916, and a bitter split in the ranks of his. own party. Party leaders like Speaker Clark, Chairman Under wood, Congressional Chairman Fitz gerald and Senator O'Gornian re fused point blank to follow the pres idential lead. Senator Tillman, while reluctantly voting for the repeal, could not with hold his indignant riticism. T'te rank and file of the purty in congress followed the presi dent out in deference to the leader ship of the presidential office. They would have followed him just the same if positions had been reversed and the president Irad been support ing no tolls against tolls advocated by Clark, Underwood, Fitzgerald and O'Gornian. Mr. Underwood boldly declares a belief that the canal tolls issue is now squarely before the country. "I am sure," said he in an inter view last Saturday, "that further ctm dderation of this i.-.sue, which now .akes its place as a vital national inestion, will Increase day by day he keen interest of the people in its ight solution. Within a year after .he canal is opened the record of statistics xvill tell the startling story. Then it will be seen among the mul itudes of vessels using the canal .hat the Knglish or German or Jap anese and other foreign ships mon opolize the waterway, and how piti fully few American vessels, either foreign or domestic, are recorded as pasing through. "Then we shall see that with this competition removed from ti e rates if the transcontinental railways the ;reat bulk of transcontinental com-i nerce will be carried from New York ind the east to Seattle and San Fran tisco by the transcontinental rail-A-ays, just as it is today, and that the eduction of transcontinental rates i)y competition, which was one of the rreat fundamental reasons why the American people voted to build the canal, has been defeated by this nar row and short-sighted policy xvbicli refused to offer inducements to our oxvn ships to use the canal." Mr, Underwood stigmatizes Presi dent Wilson's policy as "maudlin" and glories in bis successful fight against it. "I only wish It was to do over again, so that I might do it more vigorously if not more successfully," he declares. "I have been in many great fights in congress. I have been successful and I have been defeated. I have had explanations for some victories or for some defeats, and perhaps now and then some regrets. But In all my congressional career I have never been in any forensic bat tle in which I was absolutely more certain that I xvas rlglit than in the fight for free tolls for American ships." The president has drawn not only the fire of the opposing parties, but the hot fire of strong leaders within his own party. When he signs the repeal bill lie will set this lively issue squarely before the American people. J. S. Baldwin fod&Coal Leave Orders at Successor to H. E. I?eaniau Slocum Drug Co.
