William J. Bryan made Speaker Cannon an Issue in the presidential campaign today in a sensational speech before 30,000 people here, bitterly attacking tho voteran congressman, leldom has a presidential candi date used moro bitter or nioro snrcas tlo languago in a public attack upon a "mere caudldnto for congress." Cannon'ft statomont that Bryan had becomo a mllllonalro through poll tics plainly angorcd tho Nobraskan Ho exclalmod at tho outset of his speech, that ho was worth only $150. 000, and explained how ho earned the money. He roforred sarcastically to Cannon's reputed wealth, and said' "I demand that. ho tako tho public Into his confidence, and show what 'he Is worth, and how ho obtained It." He thon discussed the present situ ation In the congressional district, saying: "I presume, If tho RcpMbllcdns succeed, Cannon will bo elected -'speaker again. Cannon represents what Is known as tho 'stand-pat' Idea of politics. Ho represents tho theory that all Is well, and nothing needs t j bo changed, "Kvory predatory corporation Is praying for Cannon's success. ISvory man, feasting on privileges nnd fat tening on government favoritism Is .anxious that ho bo selected from this district to a Republican congresa." Bryan assailed Cannon's position against tho election of senators by tho direct vote of tho puoplo;'nt tacked hlo stand-put attitude on tho tarirr, and his opposition to publici ty of campaign contribution). , Referring to his own wealth, Dry an said: "I was woith 3000 when I wan elocted to congress. I nerved four years and by economy saved between 13000 nnd f 4000. During thu porlod between the end of my congressional term and my nomination for tho prow. tdeney, about a year nnd four months I engaged In sponklug and lecturing, 'and added but a small sum to my Nivlngs, "After tho election of 1896, my 'earning power ns n lecturer was great ly enhanced, and my bonk, 'The First Rattlo,' brought 117,000, and save nu equal amount of profit to tho committee. The lectures on tho cam paign of 1800 have been profitable, and my writings have paid uui well. I estimate my property worth $150 000 at tho outside limit. I am will ing to leave it to the public to deter mine whether 1 earned it hjm.estly," Bryan then launched Into a iovoVq criticism of Cannon's career in public life. Ho said that Cannon began iholdlng qMco In ISdl, when he tBry- an) waa but ono year old. Tho Com- tnonor said that Cannon for 36 yoara Qiad been drawing a salary that mem tiers thought was so inadequate It had tecoutly been luweasod. -o Tho large tlmbor'holdlngs of C. A.

Somo of tho shrewdest clothing people In the business nro putting a great deal of confidence In greens, In ho belief that they are coming into vogue to a degree not hitherto known In this country. Greens have reached great popu larity in London, and In fact through out the European continent, 5 where they nro worn very extensively by fmen.

Xcvcrtiich-s, greens Tiavo been bought qulto extensively for fnll by both manufacturers nnd retailors, and the moot question now Is, will they tako? A clothing mnn who has mnrto con siderable study of men'a fashions for practical use in tho clothing busines contends that no color or fabric that can be made a Joko of will ovor be come popular with men, and ho holds that nny man wearing green n once becomes the butt of his friends' hu mor. A high clnsB Fifth avenue" tailor imported enrly In the spring two pieces of green cloths. Up to Jul; 1st he hnd told but three suits off tho two bolts.

A mob of unemployed, under the lead ership of Socialists, who had In flamed thorn to action by violent speeches, mado an onslaught on the aristocratic section of the city. They raided several shops at tho foot of tho hills overlooking tho wealthy quarter of tho city, and then started to pillage the houses of the wealthy roildents. The police, aided by tho house holders, fought off tho rioters until dawn, when they- dispersed. The number of Injured Is unknown.

Whllo Mcdford Is engrossed with tho matter of city water, tho frultgroworB aro ovon more Interested In securing nt the earliest possible moment a sufficient supply of wator to put tho high-line orchards undor irrigation. This cry Iny need was nevor moro In cvl donco thnn tho pro ent season, who:., with tho lowlands somewhat short of fruit, owing to lato Bprlrtg frusta, the valley was confldont of a great In como from tho foothill orchards, which aro loaded to the limit with a crop which cannot mature In Us us ual oxccllonco in a dry season llko tho present. Our orchnrdlBts arc fully convinced now thnt It Is only In tho production of the vory high cat typo of fruit that this valley can kcop up its reputation, and nbout onco ovory ton yenrs wator Is a ne cessity to glvo tho necossnry size, color and flnvor to bring tho highest prices. Tho discussion was nponcd by a fow remarks from II, T. Pnnkey, foreman of tho Snowy Butto or chards, rolatlng to the effect of water upon tho heavier soils of tho valley. Ho was followed by Mr. Broback of tho Orchard Home trnct, lately from tho Wonatchoo section, who cnllod ospoclal attention to tho earlier ma turity of tho fruit trees In Irrigated sections, whoro tho crop secured In ndvailco of non-Irrigated fruit treos would ropny nny expenditure for wator in growing tho treos. to sny nothing of tho good resuUs from the application of wator to troos In sea sons llko tho prosont, whoro ton boxos of fruit nro sot, nnd ropontod thinnings nocessnry to induce the crop to mnturo In mnrkotnblo shape would gradually roduce the yield to throo or four boxes to tho treo. In hh opinion this fruit ssctlon could afford to go tho limit to obtnln tho llttlo water necossary to porfect the crop sot on tho troos each yoar Into promlor fruit. Ho thinks thnt ovory aero of fruit Innd In this valley could bo encumbered to tho extent ot $50 per acre, Just as was done In the Wonatchee section to secur their hlghllno ditch, with the assurance that a few years would repay tho grower for the expenditure nnd leave him In a pormanotly Independent po- altlon in future. W. W. aillott ot Los Angelos wn called upon for his personal experi ence In Irrigation in tho ornngo bel and he also cnllod attention to the small amount of water really needed In fruit culture to perfect the fruit, provided tho water Is nvallablo it tho right time. He called nUontion to tho possibility of securing Bum clont wator In many drchard from pumping plants, deep wells, with casings performated at tho respective water bearing gravel levels, such as yielded water enough to Irrigate 40 acres In many sections of iojve'Call- fornla. J. D. 01 well dellvorod a brief ad dress, Mating that with Irrigation such as Is possible In this valley If a pipeline Is Installed, with our ell matlo advantages and adaptlbllRy to tho production of choice high-priced fruits. Ideal conditions for horticul ture exhts: and U Is up to the grow ers to supplement the efforts of na ture by securing at the earliest pos sible moment enough water to irri gate, not a single fruitgrowing sec tion, but the whole valley, and keep In tho front as the best horticultural section In, America.
