RATE CASES CONFLICT It is rather unfortunate for Portland that she has two rate cases on her hands at the same time, and especially so since the arguments necessary to back one are fatal to the other. The one is the rate on lumber from Portland to northern California points and the other is on grain rates from the interior to Portland and Astoria. In the latter case Portland claims, and it seems to us correctly, that her geographical position and the shorter haul should give her preferential rates, or better rates than are given Astoria. The position is taken that while Astoria should have the same rates as Seattle or other seaports or terminal points that Portland should have a better rate than any of them, havingthe shorter haul and the grain going to Astoria necessarily passing through Portland. Admitting that this contention is sound, it strikes us that the same argument is unanswerable in the matter of lumber rates from Portland to California points, the Port land lumber having to pass through the valley points on its way to compete with their lumber. In this case the shorter haul is with the valley mills and if the Portland contention in the grain rates case is correct, and we con cede that it is, then it necessarily follows that the valley mills are entitled to a lower rate than Portland to the northern California markets. The records of marriage and divorce in Multnomah county for the ten months of 1915 ending October first show there were 1498 weddings and 621 divorces, or about two divorces to five weddings. This is an increase over the year before which showed for the 2797 weddings and 571 divorces, or about one out of five. This is probably accounted for by the fact that it has become fashionable to marry in Vancouver, while the divorces of Oregon, or rather Portland people must take" place in that city on ac count of residence. Republican politicians are reported as admitting that it will take a strong man to defeat Wilson, and show signs of being ready "to grab a Root." That gentleman while posing as somewhat diffident has assured his friends that should the nomination be tendered him he would not turn it down. At the same time he is persona non grata to Teddy and it looks as though the need of the Colonel's services in the campaign will put the tempting bait out of the reach of Senator Root. Greece is in much the condition of the "rnntrahnnrl" in the South just after the emancipation proclamation, when a recruiting officer wanted him to enlist. "Say, Boss," said he: "did you evah see two dogs fightin' ober a bone?"

They embarked on life with high aims and prospectives which should have become finished works but which have never matured. They have disappointed the hopes of their friends; They have hidden their talents in napkins, and have gradually subsided into obscurity. Thev waited for prosperity instead of winning it, and, of course, never found it. Micawber-like they waited for something to turn up; but, as usually happens in such . cases, only disappointments turned up. Good things must he due for. Many of them started out with great expectations, but their energy and ambition evaporated. Some of the finest intellects have exhaled away in this sluggish evaporation and left no vestige on earth except the sluggish froth, the obscure film which survives the drivel of vanished streams; and others have done just enough to show how important they would have been, had they awoke sooner, and kept awake longer. There is considerable complaint made by the good women of Salem concerning the steps of the street cars as is shown by a communication from one of them in this issue. She points out that the steps are too high to be easily climbed by women, and that it is the duty of the company to make them available as a means of entering the cars. She also says the council is negligent in not com pelling the company to provide convenient steps. As a further argument in favor of different steps she asserts the company is losing money by maintaining the present utiles, as many women who would otherwise ride, prefer to walk any reasonable distance rather than board the cars. There is reason in the correspondent's remarks and the company will do well to heed them before the women Ret busy to do away with what most of the women con sider a veritable outrage. v According to the dispatches yesterday Senator Owens nas suummeu w me democratic caucus ol senators a plan for a modified cloture, under which it will no loneer be possible for a bill to be talked to death. It is something mat siiouia nave Deen adopted Dy tne senate years ago. Berlin asserts the way to Turkey is now open, and it seems iu ue vet wun enemies on pnrh aide nt tho imon way" it is like the road to Jordan that the old song tells m, in mat ii is a nara road to travel. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat asks this one: "Ever hear of the prize winner at a baby show after he grows up?" He's the boy who doesn't care to have his past too well known. Those G. O. P. politicians who are waiting for Roose velt to declare himself are in an excellent position to ap preciate just how the Englishmen feel about Greece. Only three weeks until the winter solstice, and then Santa Claus. Wonder what the old gentleman will do with no German toys in his knapsack? DECEMBER December blusters, to remind us that time's as busy as of yore; this year is nearly all behind us, another year is at tne door. December. s loud and rnrlo nnrl Knrd-ir umHi snow and slush his beard is wet; he bids us do our shopping early, lest we forget, lest we forget. He seems wrought up to boot less madness, the last month of the dying year; he fills old people's hearts with sad ness, reminding them they're gray and sere. VVhen skies are blue and soft winds blow ing, the old folks may feel young again; they dwell not on the thought of going out ,vy hub uiigut, giaa worm or men. But , every Deiiow ot December, that seems to come from throat of brass, can only cause them to remember that time speeds on, and flesh is grass December's grim and fierce and surly, his brow obscured by gloomy clouds; he bids us do our shopping earlv and buy our Christmas biers and shrouds. Georgia is going dry pretty soon, and just now the colonels, as well as some private citizens down there, are taming clown and getting ready to endure life on only half a gallon a month under the prohibition law. Oregon will be better off in similar circumstances, having fewer colonels and an even more liberal allowance. An artist holds that the war will have- a tendency to establish a fixed style of architecture. That may bebut just now it appears that nothing is fixed in the war zone, not even the landscape which comes in the range of the lig guns.

Drowning is dead todnv, and lalogero Finoecliio and Mrs. .o Quisnda O'Donncll are under arrest, as the sequel to black hand threats nuide arninst the life of Tony Blnndino. Finocchio was standing in front of his grocery store when accosted by Drowning and Detect've Bowe, as a suspect. Ho opened firo with a sawed off shot gun, literally riddling Brown ing s abdomen with slugs and buckshot. Both officers opened fire with their revolvers as the Italian fled but he escaped unhurt. Browning died in the receiving hospital. TO RECALL GOVERNOR Fhoenix, Arte., Nov. 30. n organ isation for tho recall of Governor Oeorge W. T. Hunt has been complet ed today, under the name of the " Hunt Recall Committee." m Senntor (). 8, Shnplev, of Mesa, was elected chniimau fif "the committee which opened offices in the Uoodrich building. In a statement issued by the organ isation, Hunt's administration is char actcrised as "grossly, wantonly and needlessly extravagant." Tho Oregon Hop Growers' association has begun receiving the hups signed up by the growers nnd up to today had received ubout 1,500. bales at the ware houses nt Snlem, Woodburn and St. Louis nt the contract price of K, 9, 10 or 11 cents according to quality. The association will receive hops up to De cember 31 when the date of the agree ment of the irrowers to kecD to tho conditions of the pool expires. The association hns not experienced any dif ficulty in financing the hop situation regardless of the reports that have been circulated by rivals in the hop business this year. The association agreed to advance contract prices on hops to the growers provided tho pool had not been sold by uocemDer n or to release the growers from their agreement and the work of receiving the hops will continue through the month as there is still about DO.OUO bales in the pool. . The association is in possession of irrefutable evidence that tremendous pressure hns been brought to bear upon the banks of the Willamette vnlley to prevent them from extending the asso ciation further finunciul assistance, in the effort to force the organization up on the rocks, but, notwithstanding this powerful influence, tho association has been successful in making all necessary arrangements to " provide sufficient funds to carry its stock over an indef inite period without embarrassment. In the efforts to break np the as sociation pool and force its holdinirs of 30,000 bales upon the market when ' it was in tne mulst of depression, the association officers state that banks of the valley, which "arc handling the association finances, were being urg ently prevailed upon to compel the organization to let go at 9 cents, with out success, and, by reason of its be ing ablo to hold out against any and all emergencies, the association feels that it has already inado 3 centa, or 1SO,000 for the growers, as 12 cents nnd better is being freely offered the association by dealers. The association has been hobliiig out for 15 centa nnd will continue to do ho indefinitely, and the officers beliove that prevailing conditions warrant this price and that it will be reached in tho very near fu ture. . ll $ j)jt(CIj!(C OPEN FORUM . A Lesson from the Past Years ago, before baking pow ders were bo well known, the housewife sometimes made her own from cream of tartar and soda. These materials were then comparatively expensive and pro cesses of refining had. not been devised to bring them to the high 8tate of purity of the present day well known cream of tartar baking powders, such as.. Royal; and yet she never thought of buying alum, then as now a cheap and inferior substitute for cream of tartar. She wouldn't think of permitting an ounce of alum to enter her kitchen. Yet housekeepers are to-day asked to buy alum baking powderg with which to. make food for their children. The statement on the label af fixed to every can naming the ingredients of which th; baking powder is composed affords a method of protection against the use of undesirable kinds. v ROYAL BAKING P01TOER CO. New York About Street Car Steps. Editor Journal: I want in my own behalf and that of tho balance of the women of Salem who patronize the street ears to protest voiefcrously ngninflt tho street car steps ns at pres ent arranged. The men perhaps can negotiate thora all right, being longer of limb and unhampered by skirts, corsets, bundles, umbrellas, hand bags, baby and perhaps n baby cart, besides an array of packages. Just imagine the profanity, profuse and profound that would bo indulged in by tho men were their lower limbs eucnsed in skirts, which got under their feet every timo ,they tackled a streot car. The girls can mnnago the steps nil rifdit, if thoro arc no holes in their stockings, nnd they aro in practice at tho gym, but to the woman who is n bit short and a trifle plump thoso steps are sure a bug bear. They arc worse than that for thev are really dangerous. The con ductors are very nice about it and do the elevator stunt ns well ns possible but no woman likes to be hauled aboard a street car like a bale of hay, and without a lift from the conductor, a good ninny of us could not board the ears at times owing to handicaps above incuuoueu. I hud hoped that when tho cars were sent away to be repaired and repaint ed that the steps would also be remod eled, but the hope was vniu. There seems no other way left to runedy the evil for the street car company neglects to correct the evil nnd the council re fuses to compel it to do so. This is to serve notice that unless the steps are so arranged that a woman cun climb them, that a boycott will bo started und hun dreds of women will refuso to ride on the ears nt all. The company is losing money now that it could just as well have, for many women will walk a doz eu blocks or moro rather than tackle tho Salem street ear steps. AVill the company out of regard for its women patrons voluntarily provide better steps, or will it wait until force is brought to bear A step six inches wido aad 10 inches high I respectfully sub bit, is not a step in the right direction. I am not a faultfinder, only a very thoroughly WORRIED WOMAN. Portland 'h postal savings deposits ore l,0,743; Seattle's $420,975, Draw vour own conclusions. "00-y!
