WASHINGTON, Ore, Jan. 2.
Senator Hourne opened headquarters
of the National Progressive League
today In the senate office building In
a room formerly used by the senate
commltteo on expenditures.
The seeretary of tho league, Frcd-
orlc C. Howe, with a forco of clerks,
Is preparing a circular letter to state
representatives of tho league, BUg-
gpstlng plans for state organizations
and enrollment of clubd and Individ
mils to carry tho principles of tho
league Into effect.
Senator Hourno expects to remain
hero tho coming summer, directing
personally the organization ami work
of tho league, which will have per
manent offices In this city.
Secretary Howe reports the receipt
of many letters from all parts of tho
country, volunteorlng the services of
speakers and writers.
John C. Miller who is home for
a visit with his parents in this city,
and who travel for a big New Yoik
tea and coffee concern states thnt
Hni7.il is o blame lor an increase
of six to qcven cents' n pound in
the cost of coffee.
"Brazil produces about 80 per
cent of the world's coffee, and for
several years, owing" to over pro
duction, tho growers have been
operating at a .small margin of prof
it," states Mr. Miller. To remedy
this condition the government of
Brazil about three years ago start
ed what is called n valonzalion
scheme.
"The surplus coffee each year U
bought up by the government and u
law passed whereby it is permitted
tit v unless an export tax is paid. In!
this way the demand is kept high and
cntiMwnicntlv the w' lum soared."'
WASHINGTON", 1). C, Feb. 2.-'
Talk of a filibuster in tho United
States senate is today about the on
ly visible sign of the New OileaiH
fight for the Panama Exposition
and it is pretty slim.
Governor Sanders of Louisiana,
who is still on the ground for the
Southern city, is said to be trying
to induce Senator Bailey of Texas
to start obstructive tactics in an ef
fort to block San Francisco's com
plete victory, but with Senator Crane
of Massachusetts, tiie real leader of
the senate, an avowed San Fran
cisco partisan, it is believed there id
little chance that the upper house
will refuse a straight out endorse
ment of the coast, city. This view U
held by Senators Perkins and Flint,
who declared that San Francisco will
easily win complete endorsement.
tho county court, which asks that
body to appropriate ?7G00 toward
the building of an armory In Ashland
for tho local company of tho state
mllltla. The petition Is being gener
ally signed.
Tho plan as being worked out by
Ashland is to this effect: That city
will appropriate $7500, tho county
will he asked for $7500 and then the
legislature will he asked for $15,000.
Tho Ashland citizens are confident of
success.
SALKM. Ore, Feb. 2. A number
of Portland teachers appeared before

tion yesterday to urgo the pas
sage of house hill No. 27U.
Under the proposed law teachers
would contribute $1 per month dur-
