Rush to Alaska On. SEATTLE, Wash., Jau 22. With tho sailing of tho steamship Curacao for Skagway today, tho mid-wintor rush for tho Alaska gold Holds is 011. Tt is estimated that between (100 and 700 will tako the Valdex route for tho Copper River district within tho next 30 duvs, According to reports from the fruit districts of the northwest, the plan to merge Hood Wiver, Wonutchee, lnknua and Rogue River district into one great .selling agency has struck a snag and it mny be that the plan will be balked. Manager .Miller of the local association is now in the north working for tho scheme and will nddres.s the growers at Hood River, where the opposition is said to be centered. There will be a meeting of npplcinen at Hood River next Saturday to pas upon the subject. A committee was in Portland rocontly and investigated the operations of the Northwestern exchange, and this committee will re- )ort to the Hood Rivor union at Sat urday's, meoting. It is known, however, that thore is a strong sentiment in the Hood River union against the contemplated pur chase of the exchange, and it is prob able the meeting Saturday will bo an exciting one. The opposition to tho plnn is not only nt Hood Rivor, but also at We natohec, according to roports. It is said that growers in that section, who have been approached on tho subject, have refused to give tho plan their assent. The opposition to tho purchasing of the Northwestern Fruit exchange is based on tho fact, accordinir 10 apple growers, that tho exchange has nothing to sell that the unions them selves cannot secure without cost. Its principal nssets, in tho opinion of these npplemcn, arc its trade con nections in tho east, and tboso or similar connections can be obtained by the unions without the necessity of buying tho capital stock of tho local exchange. Tho Northwestern Fruit Exchange is capitalized at $100,000. It is not known what price tho directors have fixed upon for a controlling interest. Even if this part of tho plan is dis carded, it does not follow that tho proposal to inorgo tho "big four" into ono largo selling combine will be abandoned. With a largo crop prom ised for tho coming soason it will bo found ndvnutngeous to got the va rious unions together on a common selling basis, so as to regulate the movement to tho various eastern mar kets and tuko advantage of the best selling conditions. WASHINGTON. D. C Jan. 22. In a mild report submitted to con gress today tho Iioubo commltteo on expenditures In tho agricultural de partment exonerated Dr. Harvoy Wi ley, chief of the bureau of chemistry and government puro food expert, of; 'extravagance In expenditures, and practically admitted ihe legality of tho Itemsen board. Tho report de clares, however, that such a powerful body should be created by legislative enactment, and not by executive or der. The report says: "The committee Is of Ihe opinion that the board .may have been created to aid tho secretary of agriculture In tho discharge of duties In his offi cial capacity under tho law. But It raises the question of Its legality on the sole ground of determination ot general questions to be submitted ha the refereo of tho board by the sec retary is not enjoined upon him un derthe law." The committee declared that the Remsen board was not authorized to make decisions regarding prosecu tions under the pure food law. Refer ring to the charges that Wiley ille gally employed Dr. Rusby, tho report said: - "Tho charges of conspiracy aro not established. To tho contrary the ac cused officials were actuated solely by a desire to procuro efficient assist ance under terniB and conditions which they believed In entiro accord with tho law and regulations ot tho agricultural department." Referring to tho food and drug In spection board tho report says that It such a board is a necessity It should Include Dr. Wiley and his assistant instead of Wiley, McCa'ua and Asso ciate Chemist Dunloy, who, tho re port says, "aro unable to work in harmony relationship."
