WOOL TARIFF ASSUREO
DR. DALY CONFERS WITH MANY
SENATORS IN WASHINGTON
The Doctor Received Encouragement From
Numerous Senators That They Would
Strongly Contend for Reasonable
Tariff on Wool Product
Dr. B. Daly and Mrs. T. V. Hall
who were called east on account of an
accident recently befalling Dr. Hall
in Conmlsville, fa., returned borne
Tuesday evening. Tbey came back
by way of San Francisco where Dr.
Hal) waa left in a hospital tn receive
treatment tor his fractured ankle.
While east Dr. Daly spent three days
in Washington. D. C. where he met
and conferred wtth Senators Chsmber
Itiin and Lane of Oregon as well aa
numerous other Senators and Congress
men from various states throughout
the Union. Dr. Daly also had the
honor and distinction of personally
meeting President Wilson, whom he
found to be a man very essy to ap
proach. The doctor made a personal appeal
to our Senators In behalf of the wool
tariff question and brings back the
Bsuranre that in his belief a reason
able tariff will be maintained on this
product.
"Aside from the Oregon senators
1 met and talked with Senator Walsh
of Montana, Senators Newman and
Pittman of Nevada, Senator Pomerine,
of Ohio, as well as a number of other
Senators and Congressmen from other
States." said Dr. Daly, "and I find
it to be the concensus of opinion
among all these men that they will
not permit wool to go on the free list."
"They will surely vote this down in
the Senate," continued Dr. Daly, "ss
the gentlemen with whom 1 met consid
er free trade contrary to the principles
of the party platform upon which the
OREGON WOOL IS
FINDING MARKET
Much Wool Has Been Sold
at Arlington at a
Good Price
Nearly all the wool that has been
shorn at Arlington has been sold, says
the Oregonian. About 150,000 pounds
have changed hands this week, grow
ers and buyers readily agreeing as to
terms. The prices ranged from 14 to
17 ceuts, which is practically the same
as was paid for these wools last year.
Shearing is general in the vicinity of
Pendleton, Pilot Ruck and Echo, but
no Bales h ive been reported yet from
those districts.
With regard to Valley wools buyers
are disposed to take a bearish view.
At the opening of the season they were
ready to pay 18 to 20 cents and some of
them secured considerable qiantities
at these prices on speculation, but
they have not been able si. ce to turn
tbe wools, even at the prices tbey paid.
Several of the large buyers have put
out limits of 14 cents on coarse and 16
cents on medium grades of Valley.
"With the prospect of free wool.
Valley wool cannot help being lower in
price," stated one of the dealers, "as
it will come into direct competition
with Argentine wool. Such wools aa
are produced in the Valley can ba land
ed in Boston on the basis of 20 to 21
cents. Ttiese foreign wools, all things
considered, are worth from 4 to 5 cents
more than ur domestic wools, us there
is a difference in shrinkage in their
favor of from 10 lo 20 per cent."
Utah is Ihe only other Western state
in which the buyers are snowing activ
ity. About 1,000.000 pounds have t een
fold there, according to advices reviv
ed recently. Fine clips have been
secured fur Eastern scioint in Utah,
at 13 tj lfi cents. The scoured cost tf
these in Boston U estimated to be 43
present administration was elected."
The doctor says tariff revision is fav
ored but he has full confidence in our
Senators and Congressmen and believes
tbey will conscientiously labor for
tbe progress of their home states and
the welfare of their constituents.
The wool industry is so important in
the Western states and Middlewest, he
says, that free wool will meet with so
much opposition that it will never
carry. He states that a similar ren
dition on the sugar question exists
throughout the South and it is believ
ed that the Congressional game will
be so played as tn maintain a reason
able taritT on tbe wool and sugar com
modities. ' Washington news dispatch under
date of April 22, says by a strict party
vote, the senate finance committee de
cided finally today that no public hear
ings would be granted on the tariff
bill when it reaches tbe senate. Inter
ested persons will be given a full op
portunity, however, to file briefs or
statements with the committee, bear
ing on any of the tariff schedules.
The decision is expected materially
to shorten tbe time consumed in get
ting tbe tariff bill before the senate
consideration. Tariff .debate will open
tea the house at 11 o'clocK and in the
hope that general debate can be limit
ed to five days, Democratic Leader
Underwood will attempt to hold the
house to 12 hours of continuous work
daily. Another week of consideration
under the rule permitting amendments,
will send the bill to the senate soon
after May 5th, it is believed.

HOTEL LAKEVIEW
Light & Harrow Partner
ship Dissolved After
13 Years in Business
k P. Light and George D. Harrow
last week dissolved partnership in the
Hotel Lakeview and hereafter Mr.
Light will have sole management of
that resort. Messrs. Light & Harrow
have coniuted the Hotel Lakeview
since erection in 1900. Several inter
, ior changes and improvements have
, recently been ma le in the hotel which
will be an advantage for the new man-
agement in maintaining an uptodate
hostlery. Mr. Light is widely known
; for his congenial and affable nature

worthy in every way of the public's
patronage goes without saying,

' what he will do but alter a short time

' where Mrs. Harrow's people live.
to 60 cents. Medium clips have been
bought at 17 to 18 1-2 cents and will
probably cost, clean and lal J down in
the East, about 50 cents. Manufac
turers have bought some wool in Nev
ada at ItV to 20 cents. Dealers have
operated there it 14 to 14 1-2 cents,
the estimated cost clean and landed
being figured at 52 to 53 cents. The
Uth and Nevadt wools are heavier
than those of last year.
Severe damage is said to have been
doi.e in tho wool section of Ohio by the
recent storms and flood, but deflate
information is unavailable. Tne calam
ity has been too much for wool Luytis

IMMIGRATION TO
BE ENCOURAGED
State Oommission Desires
Broad Cooperation for
Securing: Homeseekers
Portland, Ore., April 22 (Special)
Jn order to get tbe widest possible
benefit from the legislation recently
passed to attrsct settlers to this state,
tbe State Immigration Commission is
inviting suggestions as to tbe beat
method of enticing new citizens from
abroad. By resolution, tbia effort is
to be directed to securing desirable
immigrants from tbe agricultural dis
tricts of Northern Europe. The Com
mission plana to hold a series of con
ferencea to which representatives of
German and Scandinavian colonies in
Oregon, clergymen, editors, commer
cial club officials, etc, will be invited
and a general scheme to be followed
will be outlined.
No definite program baa yet been
adopted, bat it is probable that the
first of tbe hearings will be about
May 15 and will be given op to the
representatives of German speaking
races. Later conferences will take
up Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and
Danish immigration. By this means
not only can successful methods bs
used in attracting colonists from among
foreign speaking people, but on the
arrival of the immigrants bere they
can be welcomed and given assistance
in getting started on Oregon soil.
JAPSlSENTlG
CALIFORNIA BILL
Secretary Bryan Asks For
More Leniency In
Proposed Law
The situation brought about between
Japae and the United States by the
California alien land holding bill is
becoming increasingly serious. A mass
meeting was' recently held in Tokio,
composed for the most part of irre
sponsible p.ople, demanded the most
extrene measures of retaliation by
Japan. During the gathering tbe sing
ing of war songs aroused the feelings
of many of the lower classes who were
present. Dispatches were sent urging
President Wilson to intervene in behalf
of the Japs.
Secretary of State Bryan telegraph
ed to Governor Johnson of California
urging that the 'word "ineligible to
citizenship' be not included in any
land laws passed by the legislature.
Probably a? n result ot this and through
an agreement reached by leaders of
the majority party, a drastic law di
rected solely against Japanese and
Chinese will be substituted for the
former Thompson-Birdsall measure,
and probably will pass. If not, floor
leaders declare, an end will have come
to the anti-alien land legislation at
tbis session.
MAY REFERENDUM
CO. ATTORNEY DILL
Claimed That a Joker Has
Been Discovered In
New Measure
In regard to the possibility of tbe
referendum being Invoked on the
County Attorne bill passed at tbe last
session of the legislature, tbe Portland
Telegram gives the following:
The recent discovery of a joker in
House Bill No. 44D, which creates the
office of County Attorney in each
county of the state not heretofore hav
ing a resident Attorney, has brought
about a threat to invoke tha referen
dum on the bill. The law provides that
the Governor shall appoint the incum
bents for the new offices and that they
shtll hold office until lha election in
1916 Tiis plaoea the Governor's men
iit i iTicf f . r practically a four-yeur
term, in spite of the fact that the next
general election will be in 1914. The
statute also permits the Governor to fill
vsorrcies In sM other counties, Ins ap
pointees to bold ollice, as in the other
ea-es, until 1916. The statement is
made that a petition will be prepared
'hJSRY UP WITH
YOUR AUTO TAGS
Prosecutions For Viola
tions Will be Made
After May 1
Owners of automobiles should get
their licens tags from tbe Secretary
of the State at once. After May lit
prosecutions for violations of thia law
will be in order and if your car is not
adorned with the silver colored tag do
not be surprised if Sheriff Snider gets
you. The penalty as prescribed by law
torot buying these tags ia a fine notto
exceed 150, wblcb amount would pur
chase many licenses in the future.
Lake County will hereafter, by a law
enacted by tbe last session of legis
lature, be directly benefitted by the
automobile license fund as all money
over the amount 'required to conduct
that department will be returned to
the county and turned into the road
fund. With tbe number of automobiles
in the county Lake will probably rea
lize from $300 to J400 from that source '

Snider tbis week turned over $76,339.

taxes up to March '61 tbis year, to
Country Treasurer F. . Ablstrom.
The total tax roll for 1912 was 197,

17,392.57 to be collected, and consider
able of tbis amount is included in the
laet half of taxes that do not fail due
until October 6, 1913. Never before
in the history of .the county have tbe
tax collections been orojecuted as this

early mailing of tax notice last Fall
and an efficient force to handle the
collections and issue receipts in the
local office.

waa in Fairport this week and states
that 40,000 ti-ees have heen inspected

opinion that tbe number will reach
80,000 before shipments are discontin

"The Fairport and Lakev'ew sections
will prove remarkably remunerative
as fruit producing sections as soon as
we can prevail upon tbe people to

Then we must pack and prepre the
product to meet the competition of
other sections.
"It is my opinion that we are the
country for tbe May ard June apple
supply, so far as the Famine Coast is
concerned. The apples grown in
humid sections will not bold up as they
will here."
