Washington, Jan. 26.— In alarm one, the critical turn in the tariff contro versy between the United States and Germany, appeals from chambers of commerce and boards of trade of seve ral cities were made to the national board of trade in session here, urging that body to recommend that the American government recede from its position that American beef must be admitted to Germany. Resolutions presented to the national body main- ta n there can be no advantage in in sisting on a German market for Amer ican beef, because the consumption is increasing at such a rate as soon to command all the supply. It is pointed out that the Agrarian party, in control of the Reichstag, has stood for the principle that farmers of Germany must supply the beef, and that the im perial government could not admit the American product, if it would. A commission to settle the dispute is suggested. Many delegates, bringing from their home cities demands for an investigation into the high cost of liv ing, have made that subject foremost. The national body today decided to ap point a special committed of five men to determine the reasons for present prices. In his opening address to the nation al board, the president, Frank J. La Lanne, of Philadelphia, suggested the possibility that by getting in touch with the leading bodies of Germany the organization could help the United States department materially. He also pleaded for the immigration of more laborers and house servants. HAPPENINGS FROM AROUND OREGON' ] SP EN D $<100,000 ON P R O J E C T .

I.aidlaw — Oregon’s pioneer irriga tion project, begun in 1893 just as the panic swept over the country, stands in a fair way to he completed, and the settlers who have been waiting and watching for the water that never came, may have their hopes realized. For the state of Oregon, represented by the land board, is making an effort' to secure the completion of the project with the moit battering prospects of success. Laidlaw came into being during the days when settlers expected water and as a matter of fact when water was delivered in the ditches. But the sup ply was not sufficient for the lands at tempted to be reclaimed, the acreage reduced and other supplies of water sought. Financial troubles followed, and the company was reorganized. In the meantime it was fully demonstrat ed that a gravity system of irrigation was not feasible and that reservoirs would have to be built to store the flood waters of Tumalo creek during the spring and allow water to be car ried over the parching land in July and August, when the stream carries scarcely any water.

Why, oh, why did you not understand meT Now I can hear no more. Make haste to relieve your father’s mind, and— good-by, Captain Lumley.” She half put out her hand, drew It back, and left the room swiftly. The enraged and disappointed lover took a turn to and fro, uttering some half articulate denunciations of his Infernal 111 luck, then, snatching up hts hat, rushed away to pour his troubles Into the sympathizing ear of Lord Everton, In whom all Imprudent youngsters found a congenial confidant. As soon as the sound of his steps was heard, the unclosed door of a small Inner room from which there was no other exit was pushed more widely open, and Mrs. Savllle walked l n. She wore her out-door dress, and held a note In her hand. " I little thought what I should hear," she said, almost aloud, “when I determined to keep quiet till that booby had gone. Listeners never hear good of themselves. So I am a can tankerous, dictatorial, tyrannical old woman? Hope Desmond does not think so; I know she does not” “ Where are you staying?” asked Miss Dacre. "A t the Hotel d'Albe.” "Well, I shall call late this after noon. Now I am obliged to call on the Oomtesse de Suresnes. So good- by for the present, Mrs. Savllle. Good- by, dear Lady Olivia.” As soon as she was gone, Mrs. Sa vllle. looking very straight at her sls- ter-in-law, asked, "W hat Is the matter with you?” "Matter! Matter enough! If I had not been en route for Contrexeville I should have come here on purpose to — to tell you what I think." "And pray what may that be, Lady Olivia?" "That you have allowed my unfor tunate boy George to fall Into the same scrape as your own son, Just to make ua suffer as you have done. It Is too bad, that while we were think ing everything was on the point of be ing settled between him and Mary Dacre (such an excellent marriage), there Is he falling Into the trap of that low-born, designing adventuress, your companion! You are not a wom an to be blinded by anything, and you never took the trouble to warn us or save him, and 1 who always sympa thized with you in your trouble about Hugh! I expected better things from you, Elizabeth. You are Infatuated about that woman, of whom you really know nothing.” For a moment Mrs. Savllle was si lent, too amazed to find words. " I don’t understand you. Pray ex plain your meaning, if you have any,” Bhe s&ld, at last, a bitter little smile curling up the corners of her mouth. “ Why, our unfortunate mad boy wrote to his father a few days ago that he was going to make an offer to that dreadful girl, as she was the sort of woman to whom he dared not pro pose a private marriage; that we fear ed we might be vexed at first, but If we attempted to prevent It he would go straight to the dogs. Oh, It Is too too bad! I little thought, when I was so horrified at Hugh’s conduct last summer, that before a year was over I should be afflicted In the same way.” "W hen you gloated over my disap pointment, you mean,” cried Mrs. Sa vllle, her keen black eyes flashing. "I have no doubt you thought to yourself that your son would never be false to the Instincts of his race, which Is aris tocratic on both sides, but that mine was Impelled by the plebeian vigor In herited from his mother’s people. I know the amount of gratitude you all feel towards me for conferring wealth for which he never tolled, on your brother and his sons. But the blood ■ In my veins has been strong enough to keep you all in your places. Yes! as the world we live In chooses to attach Importance to rank and to worship a title, I bought what was necessary of the valuable article; but I know your estimate of me and the veiled con tempt of your commiseration when the blow fell upon me. Now I am go ing to return good for evil, and re lieve your mind. Your precious son Is perfectly safe. That low-born, design ing adventuress, my companion, has defiantly and utterly rejected him.” "Impossible! Are you sure? May this not be some deep-laid scheme? How do you know?” “It is quite possible, I am perfectly sure; It Is no deep-laid scheme, I know, because I was In that room there, unsuspected, and heard every word of the proposal and of the dis tinct, decided rejection. Miss Des mond reproached your son with his perseverance In spite of, her discour agement, and Informed him she was engaged to another— evidently some humble, struggling man, from whom your charming, distinguished son was powerless to attract her. Miss Des mond acted like a young woman of sense and honor, and In my opinion she is a great deal too good even for so high and mighty a gentleman as Captain George Lumley.” good for him— a great deal too good But she Is silly, too, with her high flown notions. We cannot defy the Judgment and prejudices of the world we live In; obscurity and lnslgnifl cance are abhorrent to most sane peo pie. Yet It Is Impossible to doubt her sincerity; and sue Is common-eenalcal enough. Can it be that she Is wise anu I am unwise?’“ Here Mrs. Sa vllle put her little favorite on the car pet and again rang the bell. This time she desired that Hiss Desmond should be sent to her. “ I think I shall go out and do some shopping," she said, when Hope ap peared. “I do not walk enough. 1 have had a tiresome morning. First Miss Dacre came begging that you might be lent to her for the day. Thti I refused. Then came Lady Olivia, I d a bad temper, and we quarreled, oh* Is going away to-morrow or next day.

As soon as he leaves, I shall go away to a quaint llttls place on the coast of Normandy, and recruit It will be very dull; but you are used to that.” “I rarely feel dull,” returned Hope, who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa vllle had quarreled with her sister-in- law. She was too decided, too peremp tory a woman to be quarrelsome. Could It be for any reason connected with herself? Lumley said he had communicated his Intention to propose for her (Hope) to his father. This, no doubt, would have enraged his fam ily; but she could not ask any ques tions. Indeed, she was thankful to “let sleeping dois He.” She had many anxieties pressing on her young heart. A very cloudy and uncertain future lay before her. "It Is hard," she thought, "that, however good and true and loving a woman may be. If not rich she Is thought unworthy to be the helpmate of a wealthy, well-placed man; any poor, struggling nobody ll good enough for her. Yet It Is among the struggling nobodles that the finest fellows are often found; so things equalize themselves.” (To be continued.)
