HUGHES AND GOOD ROADS
T .V his speech at Ashland, Judge Hughes dropped a hint
its to his attitude in regard to government aid in as
sist 11 if; road const met ton. He stud in effect:
I have enjoyed every nilnuto of my visit in Oregon meeting the
people and viewing the magnificent scenery, i have viewed with pleasure
the paved highway through your beautiful valley and I congratulate the
people for having paid for It themselves, without asking the federal con
gress for an appropriation. I like the spirit that help itself and does
not seek government aid."
From this it is to he inferred that the candidate views
with alarm the passage of the administration good roads
bill, whereby- the federal government will expend 75,000,
000 in en-operation with states in const met ing highways
and 10,000,000 more upon highways through national for
est reserves.
Everything that President. "Wilson lms dim.. i r.,,.

not definitely define his attitude upon good roads, am

'In the Sacramento flee of August
17, Joseph W. Gavin reports tho fol
lowing from New York:
Conditions at the Krle Railroad
dock, where California fruits are
sold, are becoming a public scandal
and menace to the fruit dealers.
IteeelverK Incensed.
Many of the' leading receivers are
up in arms against buyers being per
mitted to dictate terms of sale of
lruit8. They assert backbone must
be Injected into New York Belling
agents by California principles.
Beginning Monday new regula
tions will he enforced on the Erie
pier limiting daily receipts of fruits
to 100 cars every Monday and 80 cars
on other sales days, until further no
tice. Heretofore the capacity of tho i
dock alono restricted the number of
cars discharged.
Tho new order is ascribed princi
pally to the shortage of labor to put
cars out before 5 o. m., the hour fixed
by agreement between tho California
fruit Buyers Association and most
receivers. Now they may have cars
alongside th8 pier.
If a car Is not opened by one min
ute past 5 a. m., the Uuyers As
sociation will not permit It to be
sold that day nnd it must lie sent
back to Jersey City to ho rellghtered
to New York some subseiiucnt day. 'j
Oillfol iiLa Iilnme.1.
-California growers and shippers
are blamed for allowing representa
tives here to permit Hie Buyers As
sociation to dictate terms to sellers, j
They assert cars are accumulating In
Jersey, which Bhould he sold. Cars
that miss sale by a few minutes must
be sent hack and become a day older
before being sold. Cars late In dis
charge must be closed at 8: IS
promptly, even when turn to sell may
not be reached before Into in the
afternoon.
Again, sales stnrt at 8:30 a. m.
promptly, whether sufficient buyers
are on hand or not. 'No discretion
is allowed. '
No provisions are made for contin
gencies. Receivers who oppose lim
ners' dictation and refuse to sign
agreoment arbitrarily fixing hour of
unloading at 5 a. m., as latest mo
ment of discharge, are threatened
with boycott by the buyers.
SUMMER GOODS MUST GO!
A Final Threeday Disposal of All Remaining Sum
mer Goods Drastic Price Reductions Are in Force
This is our final effort for the absolute disposal of every item of a summer nature.
While in many eases we have already lowered prices to an extremely low level, these
lowered costs have been stitll further cut, so that cost, near cost and less than cost
are now the ruling quotat ions. Only a limited number of items can be quoted here
in .1 great many cases lots are too small to advertise in all such cases prices
have been cut again and again to insure double-quick selling.
