TARIFFONlflL PROTECTSJiROWER Wool Expert Says Free Product Would Injure The Producer Oregin produced lust year about 17, 000,000 pounds of wool. Tho turitT on the raw material entering the United States waa 11 cents a pound, in the grease. Taking these figures, and tho known shrinkage ot the Oregon produot in scouring, a prominent Portland wool expert thows bow free wool will have little influence upon the price of the manufactured article which the West will got under the promised regime, and what the real effect will be upon the sheepmen. "Our Villoy wools shrink about 50 per cent of the scouring. Eastern Orcmm wools shrink 80 per cent, as a rul-.

S. Hudson, of Dend, Or. Mr. Husdnn, aa president of the Hirst National Dunk of Bend la one of those gentlemen who believe that Crook County, in fact all Central Oregon, will never "arrive" until the land owners and land tillers devote tho principal portion of their attention to the dairy cow and the hog. The columns not only of Tne F.xxm Iner, but of scores of other newspapers throughout the atate, have been lsden with advice to newcomers, aa well as old-timers, that they pin their faith to the cow and the hog. Aa to the -on-dltions in this section for succers there can lie no doubt. When Mr. Hudson went to Bed four or Ave yesrs asro he soon discovered that there was a walth of opportuni ties there for dairying and hng-rning with a pov. rty o accomplishment from the sheer luck o breeding stock and the Inability nf the settlers to Import aurh ato k for the want of means. To take advantage of these condi tions merely as an advertisement for his bank would, Mr. Hudson thought be j good move. Indeed he claims that he undertook his stock operations merely with tht end In view. How ever this may rave been ai tne Begin ning, ii is now certain that the ork accomplished has proven a philan thropic ndvcrtiement of more value to the community than to the tank.

Remember j there whs no prnHt i" the transactions. Indeed upon the cows there wss a loss ot nearly SliO through unforseen ex penses. Three of the purchasers are Lee Hohbs, Henry Tweet and Earl Saun ders, all of the Powell Butte section, northeast of Hend. Mr. Hobbs bought five sows, costing $148, for the first shipment, and had up to the first of April sold worth of stnek and had on hand twenty brood sows and 155 pigs, in all worth S1585. Mr. Tweet tought two rows for $f8 from the same shipment. He soil stock to the amount of $2.r0 the first yeur, and had twerty head left. Mr. Saunders, who made the most phenomenal success, purchased about cne bow for $29: He has sold stock to the value of $li)3 and had on hand April 1 brood sows and pigs to the value of $fifi0.

EFFORT BEING MADE TO KEEP A LOW DUTY ON PRODUCT Dr. B. Daly of Lakeview Visits Washington and Secures Promise from Western Senators for Reasonable Tariff President Stands Pat For Free Trade The Wilson-Underwood tarilf bill Is now uppermost in the thoughts of the whole people, and we sf Lake County are no exception. The administration leaders are still in control of the sit uation, and there is not much likeli hood of any material changes to the proposed bill being made. However, a most stubborn fight is being put up against free wool, considerable opposi tion to that feature having recently de veloped. Woolgrowers throughout the Nation are busy, and the Wool Grow era Association of Lake County, of which C. D. Arthur i president, is taking an active Interest in the ques tion. Recently 1'resident, Arthur sent the following telegram to Senators Chamberlain and Lane: "It i of great Importance to Oregon that reasonable taritr be maintained upon wool. Use your efforts that duty shall not be lower than 25 per cent. We feel that moderate reduction should first be made before duty is entirely removed from greatest livestock in duBtry of State of Oregon. in repiy senator numuerain wrote .... j 1 .

The preserve tn question is said to comprise all ter ritory in the county north of township 112 and to affect deer and antelope only, which would make it unlawful to hunt such animals in that section at any time of the vear regardless ot open seasons. Township 32 runs east and west just at the south end of Summer Lake and takes in nearly all of the rimrock country west of the lake which is considered a good deer country by sportsmen. Senator W. Lair Thompson states that If auub a preserve was created at the recent session of Legislature he is unaware of the fact, but says a preserve was established in the Paulina district in Crook County and thinks it possible that the rumored withdrawal In thlB county has been confused with Crook's preserve. However, regardless of this the State Game Commission is vested with the power to create game preserves and in the event that such has been created in this crunty it was no doubt made by that body.

While favoring a duty on raw wool, I say to you frankly that I would not vote against a bill reducing the duties on several thousand sche dules in order to have my wishes car ried out in respect to one or two items. "Trusting that a tarilf satisfactory to the Darties interested in wool may be maintained, I have the honor to remain,' "Yours very respectfully." "George K. Chamberlain." Senator Lane's acnowledgment was brief and more evasive than the senior Senator's, being as follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge n. reipt if your night letter. I thank you lor giving me the Denent 01 vour aa vice in the matter, and shall te glad to heat from you at any and all times.' Dr. B.

THIS VALLEY TO GET ADVERTISING Publicity Man to Describe the Beauties of Goose Lake District Keno Journal, April 16: Fairport and tiooBt.1 Lake, fast becoming known as the glory spot of Northern Califor nia, are to be advertued to the world by one of the beat known publicity men of the country. Fred U. Shaffer, of Denver, Colorado, arrived in the j city recently and wa-i shown around during his stay by C. N. Miller, vice- preaident of the Fairport Town and Land company and publicity man for the Nevada-Culifornia-Oregon railway. On accouut of his extensive mining interests and the growing importance of Fairport, Mr. Miller haB determined that assistance is required. Shaffer has followed railroad public ity work lor years and contributes to the magazines regularly. His work has represented much in colonization In Colorsdo where he has reside i for twenty years. A New Railroad Announcement has been made by John H. McNsry, attornevy tor the company, that organization of the Oregon Railroad Company is about perfected and that within three weeks contrnrts for constiuitlng a portion uf the roiul bed will be awarded. The company proposes to construct a road Irom Salem to Bend by way of Stayton and thrtiuch the Minto Pass, one of the feA available railroad past is through the Cascade Mountains. It is rumored that the new road is being cacked by other Hill interests and will be used as a feeder for the Oregon Trunk line operating into Bend and which is scheduled to tuild south through this valley. On Sunday morning, April 6, seven "Lakeview Bills." L. K. Conn. V. L. Snelling, Dr. E. H. Smith, L. E. Seager, ?. f. Light, J. F. Hanson and O. T. McKendree. were invited to a jov ride through the courtesy of George Wingfield and Gabe Scott who kindly placed their Dorris machines at their disposal, with the Injunction that they were to leave Reno, and it was also intimated that just so long as they con tinued to pot distance between them selves and that city no questions would be asked and no steps taken for the recovery of the automobiles. There being no special reason wby we should take any particular road we happened to get pointed southeast and continued in that direction. After passing through the beautiful Trackee valley we found ourselves confronted with the old mountain range grade that for 12 miks winds and climbs the mountain side to an elevation of some thing like 3000 feet above tne valley and finally leads to the most famous of Nevada cities. Owing to the fact that we were in possession ot borrowed machines whose owners had also do nated a generous supply of gasoline, we decided to give them a try out, and the word was given to forward hike It soon became a matter of wonder and admiration to note the ease with which our autos took the heavy grades which, in many places exceeded 30 per cent. As the valley fell away from us the scenic beautv of our surroundings be came more aid more grand and absorb ing. Without a hitch and with only one stop we reached toe summit and BDeni a few minutes in enjoyment of perhaps one of the grandest panoramas in the world. But one word seemed to have any meaning in its description XfatoKtliv t - About 11:30 a. m. we came in sight of our .Jestination and as we motored along roads hewn from the mountain side, everywhere were monuments of the former greatness of this great city. One could not throw off the feel ing that the ground over which we rode was hallowed - and consecrated, and while Gettysburg may have been the battlefield where the fortune of war turned to the Union and saved the nat ion, when that nation was practically E krupt in consequence of that war, as this ground beneath us that fur nished the money and credit which in sured its solvency. Being strangers in the city, and in quest of information, we naturally halt ed at the most likely lookine informa tion bureau in sight, and after ssmpling the wares and merchandise there on sale we inquired of tbe p'casant and gentlemanly clerk, if he thought it possible for us to obtain a permit to go down into some of the deep mines? He informed us that Saturday was the only day in the week that visitors were admitted below the surface but, he would see what could te done in our case, and then got busy with the tele phone with the result that in a few minutes we were , called upon by Mr. A. M. Walsh, Supt. Comstock Pumping Assn.. and also a eentlemen that not one of this crowd would ever forget, who after sizing up the bunch told us that while he did not have authority to give us permission to go down in the mine, owing to his being off duty on that dy, still he thought there would be no trouble at all with Superinten dent T. F. McCormack especially when he knew that we were a small herd of Bills that had strayed off our range in Oregon. His surmise proved correct, for no sooner was he made acquainted with our party and wishes than be very pleasantly informed us that we could have anything we wanted in Virginia City. Arriving at the mine we were in formed that we had got in on a full dress affair and the first order he gave, was in tha language of the immortal Mark Twain "doff those rags and don these splendors" which in plain En glish we found to mean, take off all the clothea you have on, and robe your selves in a pair of woolen overalls and a woolen shirt, decorate one extremity v. hh a pair 0' Iropau rhoes enJ the other with any old bat you happen to Und laying around. Continued on page eight Prof. J. F. Burgess was on Tuesday of thia week nominated by President Wilson for register of the Uuited Statea Land Office at Lakeview, to succeed Hon. A. W. Orton, whose term expire May 31 next. The nomination Xbaa doubtless been confirmed ty the Senate by thia time, and be will be ready to assume the dutiea of tbe office on tha expiration of Mr. Orton's term. Tbe following was in type before it was known that Prof. Burgess had oeen named for the position : All ligr.i indicate that Prof. J. F. Burgesa will succeed Hon. A. W. Orton as register of tbe United States Land office at Lakeview at the expira tion of the latter'a term the last of next month. Prof. Burgess has been recommended for tbe position by Sena tors Chamberlain and Lane, and it ia understood that Secretary of the Inter ior Lane haa waived the reauirement that tbe register be an attorney at law. Such being the case President Wilson will no doubt ferward tbe nom ination in due time to tbe Senate for confirmation, after which it will be necessary for tbe new register to fur nish a bond in tbe sum of $10000 before entering upon his duties. It wss reported that F. P. Lane would te a candidate for the position, but be has decided to withdraw, thus leaving Prof. Burgess and Mr. Orton alone in tbe race. Mr. Orton is some what handicapped by his former politi cal affiliations, endowing to the clamor for recognition by members of tbe Democratic party it'is hardly probable that he can land the coveted position at this time. It is understood that Klamath County expects to name the auccessor to the receiver, F. .ICronemiiiaf, although his term does not expire until 1916. However, it is' possible that he will not be permitted to remain undisturbed during the remainder of bis term, be cause of tbe fact that some of tbe Democratic brethren are already after his "goat." Mr. Cronemiller was a resident of Klamath when appointed as receiver in 1908, and hence the Democrats of that County consider that they are entitled to name his suc cessor, ana especially so wnen me newly-appointed register is a resident of Lake. INCOME TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT New Amendment Would Create Bg Revenue for Government Included in the Democratic tariff re vision bill introduced in Congress re cently is an income tax section which would require every resident of the United States who earns more than 14000 a year to pay a tax of 1 per cent on his earnings in excess of the ex emption. ibis would not require the man who earns only $1000 to pay a tax, but it would demand that the individual who earned $4100 for example, pay into the Government Treasury an annual tax of 1 per cent, or SI on each S100. The bill also would provide higher rates of taxation for persons with larger incomes, adding a surtax of 1 per cent additional on earning in excess of $20,000; 2 per cent additional on earnings in excess of $50,000, and 3 per cent additional on earnings in excess of $100,000. The bill also includes under its pro visions the property and earninga in this country of persons who live abroad. It is estimated by members of tbe ways and means committee that ap proximately 100,000,000 in revenue may be derived from this new tax, in cluding the corporation tax, that auiount making up for tbe deficit in revenues to be derived from imports by virtue of the greatly reduced tariff rates and the transfer to the free list of articles that are classed as necess aries of living.
