J Portland some two weeks ago is far from pleased at thej It started out deliberately to break up the coal miners' manner in which that conference was conducted. It union and it failed utterl 'Thi points out that the question of water-power was side plished ' aa WIUU 101 te dLLUm THE SCHEME WORKED THE WRONG WAY tracked and the conference devoted its time to berating the federal conservation policy generally. It says: "From the hydro-electric standpoint, the results of the Western States Water Power Conference at Portland last week were negative. Water power became merely a side issue in a general condemnation of the federal con servation policy. The main issue was obscured in the opposition to all legislation having to do with leasing unappropriated public lands. "Those who are anxious to develop our latent and wasting water resources have no business in a quarrel with the Federal Government's policy of handling tim ber and mineral lands. The ostensible purpose of the meeting was lost sight of in a futile and foolish effort to stem the tide of popular opinion which has been aroused on this subject. "The Forest Service officials apparently had intended to attend this meeting in a spirit of compromise. They! conceded the need for legislation and were anxious to learn the ideas of Western hydro-electric people. They admitted the right of the several states to control un appropriated waters. The original contention of Gifford Pinchot that the control of the land carried with it the control of the water appertaining thereto is no longer countenanced by some of the leading officials of the Department of the Interior. "Hence it is evident that an attempt has Jbeen made to use the power controversy as a catspaw to pull out the chestnuts of other interests. And to that extent this meeting is a disappointment to those who are working for an opportunity to develop the great water powers of the West." The charming frankness of its statement in the last paragraph above is highly commendable. It charges that "an attempt has been made to use the power controversy as a catspaw to pull out the chestnuts of other interests." What the Journal ot Electricity, Power and (jas neglected to call attention to was that those disinterested nnd great hearted people who, as it says: "Are working for an opportunity to develop the great water powers of the West," had themselves brought in the "other inter ests" for the purpose of using them as a catspaw to pull the chestnuts for the Water Power people. It was a urcat scheme, but the fact that the other interests, iswitched the cut and dealt the cards differently dropped a monkey wrench in the running gears and disan; the machinery ' The history of our coal lands and our timber lands Young John D. understands human nature better than did the officials of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com pany.. He knew that simply because he was vastly rich that, even the hardy miners who were fighting him, would consider it an honor to be permitted to associate with him, and that the miners' wives would treasure the fact that they danced with the richest young man in the world as the greatest event of their lives. So young John D. associated with the miners, donned overalls, picked out a few pounds of coal, swallowed a few mouths full of mulligan along with the miners, dance.d with their wives ana got tne miners to virtually abandon unionism. Here is the little joker in his new plan of mediation: "There shall be no discrimination by the company or by any of its employes on account of membership or non membership in any society, fraternity or union." It will be seen from this that the company does not recognize the union and forbids the employes paying any attention to it. It may be young John D.'s plan of mediation is good. As to its merits as compared to unionism is not up for discussion, but it is evident on the face of it, that the plan is to kill the miners' union. That is its sole object, and to attain this young John D. mingled with the miners, danced with their wives, and for a few days was almost human." First Market and Sales-Day Saturday The committee recently appointed by the agricultural department of the com mercial club to arrange for a market and general sales day, are busy today making plans. According to present arrangements, the first market and sales day will be held next Saturday, October 10, at the Wa&ing barn on Lib erty street, where tiio general market lav was held several months ago. Speakers of prominence will be here, and letters will be mailed to farmers in the community, urging them to send a list of everything they have to sell to the commercial club, so they may be nrooerlv advertised. W. S. Low. chair man ot" the committee, says the sale will start at 9 o'clock Saturday and ev erything will be auctioned. Special ef forts will be made to make this first market day a success, as a fore-runner to those to be held each month during the winter. Market conditions are practically the same as last Saturday. Wheat is hold ing its own, and now seems to be set tled for a while at least on ail 85 cent basis, with oats from 30 to 32 cents. Al though eggs are firm in Portland and a general scarcity exists, the prices lo cally have not changed. With the ad vance in the price of flour in Port land of 20 cents a barrel, the present low prices here may not hold much longer. WHOLESALE MARKET mams.

According to leaders of the trade the quality of this year's crops Is far the best ever known since tlio industry was established in the Pucifie northwest. Not only is the fruit of better duality Oct. II. Wheat Club rt!m" normal or ever before, but the sizes arc bigger and the average is far nbove anything heretofore offered. The crop is now being generally es timated at KiMiiyiiio pounds for Ore gon ainl Clarke county, Washington. This is perhaps 2n per cent below the earlier outlook. W.hiit the crop is losing in volume it is said to be marking up in size of fruit and ipuility and this therefore means a better average price to producers.
