While the Examiner does not pretend to know anything concerning wool, either from a producing or selling standpoint, yet it is firmly of the opinion that a wool sale, such .as is held at Shaniko, Pendleton and other wool centers, would be of great benefit to a large proportion of the woolgrowers of Lake Oounty. It seems to have been a common prac tice heretofore for buyers to purchase a cli f wool for a certain agreed price and then to write out a contract at a reduced figure. This contract would be used as a basi9 for future buys, and when another grower was ap proached he would be shown the contract and an offer made for his wool on a basis of quality nd price as compared with the original pur chase. As one grower expressed it, he did not are what was written in the contract so long as he got his price. Inasmuch as his price was based on what he "knew" some other sheep man received by seeing the contract it is pos sible his price was a cent below what would have been paid had he received its true mar ket value. Possibly the wool sale has its dis advantages, but where other communities continue them year after year it certainly ap pears to the uninitiated that they are less than where every man is for himself and in a man ner assists the buyer in beating his neighbor. REAL CONSERVATION Secretary Garrison has hit upon a plan for reconciling the warring factions of the con servationists, by satisfying equally the advo cates of State's rights and the friends of Fed eral regulation of conservation, so it is stated. The fundamental point in the policy, which, according to tne Secretary of War, has the President's approval, is cooperation between the State and National Governments, with re cognition of "the equally sphere of each." It applies more particularly to the waters of navigable streams, and there is no surrender 'of the Federal Government's paramount pow er, though the revenue from and the active supervision of water-power franchises will be turned over to the State if Congress adopts such a measure as the Secretary proposes. The Eastern press considers the measure as one that will save the people of the State "fiom their Legislatures find themselves." Tl.e present conservation policy has result. d in a what seems to be, according to the Sedv tary, "a permanent standstill" of the develop ment of water power, and the new plan will recognize the equable sphere of each of those in interest. Presumably the plan will also per mit of utilizing numerous water-power sites throughout the West that have for several vears been withdrawn from all forms of use. "WAIT AND SEE' The killing of William S. Benton, a British subject, by the leader of the Mexican revolu tionists, or at his order, has naturally moved the London press very deeply, but while as a rule they do not agree in toto with President Wilson's policy, they are willing to accept the well known maximum of Fremier Asquith and his words, "Wait and See." At the same time the general opinion in European circles is that the United States is under a tremen dous responsibility in upholding the Monroe Doctrine. As many of them see it, President Wilson has not only given encouragement to Villa in the hope of overthrowing Huerta, but has supplied him with arms, and so cannot entirely shirk the responsibility for his acts. Then, too, it is stated, that by the Monroe Doc trine we bar out other Powers who might re store order or at least save the lives of their own subjects. However, the general comment is calm and dispassionate, much more in fact than might be reasonably expected. The Mexican situation becomes more com plicated every day, and Huerta 's finish seems to be growing more distant. In fact, public opinion seems to be turning in his favor, inas much as Villa by his murderous acts has put himself and the Constitutionalists under the blackest cloud. The killing of Benton, a Brit ish subject, has strained President Wilson's policy of "watchful waiting" to the breaking point, and has made acute and insistent the question of protection of foreign lives in Mex ico. The opinion seems to be gaining ground that we may yet have to recognize Huerta 's hand as the only one strong enough to lead Mexico out of anarchy and chaos. Whoever heard of too much prosperity be ing assigned as a cause for a revolution! . And yet that is alleged to be the cause of the re ovlution in Haiti. A bumper crop of coffee started the present revolution, which is the fifth in three years. Haiti collects an almost negligible internal revenue tax. Her revenues come from import and export duties, and cof fee sacks pay three cents a pound. Since only a small part of the revenues get beyond official hands, it was decided that there should be what we term a change of administration, in asmuch as the big coffee crop made the pick ings especially attractive. birthday Parly Saturday afternoon of last week a birthday party was given to Miss Bessie Rusow, at-her mother's home on Slash Street. A number of her girl friends received invitations and all came, but one, reasons for which were not known. It could be readily -seen from the start that everyone en joyed themselves immensely, Uesale plays the organ nicely, together with her many simple games, and pleasing manners, places her in a position to entertain her young company in which she delights with the utmost Mrs. Rusow, who in a first class cook, prepared many little delicacies for the occasion, including sanwlches and cake, served with cocoa, fruit home made candy, etc.. In the most delicate fashion. She loves little children, and it certainly filled her heart with pride, watching them play and enjoy themselves. Bessie was not forgotten by one of her little friends, for each one brought her :sorae little trinket as a token of friendship and love. All were great ly appreciated and cherished by her. At dusk the party broke up, each me returning to their different homes, fully contented, but tired out, feeling in the humor for a good night's sleep yet longingly looking forward to another occasion of this kind.
