think of: "The farmers who raise
vegetables for the oannery at Spring

per acre for tomatoes and all acre OF
tomatoes can be raised and saved
with the same labor required for an
acre Of corn. Land that will pro-
duce twenty-five bushels of corn per
acre will pay the producer $22 per
acre, whereas, if this corn was allow
ed to ripen and marketed at 80 cents

Motion for ReheariEG.

The attorneys for the appellants in
the Silverton election case filed a mo-
tion for rehearing yesterday in the
supreme court. The point raised by
the motion is that section 2507 OF the
code does not permit the use of sur
plus ballot paper obtained OF the
secretary of state for one election at
subsequent elections. The section
provides that ballots used at an cleo.
tion shall all be of the same color and
the appellants contend that to make
this provision effective as law that
the ballot paper must be obtained for
each specified election, so that the
secretary of state can furnish all po-
litical parties ballot paper of O uni
form color and thus secure absolute
secrecy at the ballot box. Attention
is also called to the meaning of the
adjective 'any" as defined by Web
ster's dictionary which is zone out of
many" If this definition is put in
the place of the adjective "any" it
makes the law read: No ticket
must be used at one election out of
the many general special or munich
pal elections held in this state or cir
culated at the day of election unless
it be written or printed on paper
furnished by the secretary of state
for the purpose"-(of being used or
circulated at such one election. J
This is the way the section has al
ways been understood and acted
upon until the present case arose.

Prison Shops Enlarged

There are now 2Si prisoners in the
Oregon penitenitary. The managers
of the Northwestern Stove Foundry
Co. are preparing to give employment
to new corners, in their shops by en-.
larging the moulding room. A part
of the moulding floor in the north
shop has heretofore been used for
storing moulds. This space will now
be cleared of the moulds and the en-
tire floor will be used in moulding.
This will greatly increase the ca
pacity of the foundry and will fur
nish ample employment for all con-
victs not needed in other departments
of the prison.

them declare they will utterly disre-
gard the law. and publish all the facts
in connection with executions which

GEN. HOWARD was interviewed In
New York last Saturday, concerning
what coast defenses were needed. The
Atlantic coast, he said, he had not
considered as much as he had the Pa
cific. "The Pacific coast armament is
worse than the Atlantic coast. Writ
ually nothing in the nature Of defense
exists" He thought dynamite guns
might accomplish much for coast de-
Tense, but also thought too much
might be expected from them. Speak
ing further of the need for Pacific
coast defense, Howard said that he
thought the Pacific coast should first
be considered, because it is further
from the plant for manufacturing
heavy guns than eastern points
are, and it will require more
time to put the Pacific coast in
proper condition for defense. There
are two things necessary to proper
coast defense-naval and land forces.
It will never be possible to do away
away with permanent defenses in war.
The naval force will be the first de-
tense, but to be effective the navy
must be moving, and is consequently
uncertain" Two or three of the new
dynamite guns have been ordered for
the protection of the port of San
Francisco, but owing to the fact that
that their range is only about half
that of rifed guns carried by foreign
nations, it is hard to see how they
could be much protection. They
would be within reach of an enemy
which would be beyond their reach.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, president
of the Union Pacific railroad, de-
livered an address at the Commercial
club dinner in Boston last Saturday,
in which he said of the interstate
commerce law: CONTRARY to every
design of those who framed the act
its provisions have lent a new impe-
tus to just those forces it was intended
to hold in check. The interstate CON-
merce act, acting ON the tendency OF
natural forces, is rapidly driving us
forward to some grand consolidation
or railroad trust scheme. Even this,
from my point of view, 1 cannot re-
gard as thing to be dreaded. / am
very sure that great consolidated cor
porations, or even trusts, can be held
to ,stricter responsibility than nu
merous smaller and conflicting cor
porations. A well devised railroad
clearing house scheme would prove,
in practice, whether so intended or
not, in the direct line of the enforce
ment of the interstate commerce act
in all its better features, and it has
many such.

A LATE dispatch says there is a
plain agreement between Great Brit
ain, Germany, Russia and the United
States that their respective subjects
shall be prohibited from any and all
pellagic fur-sealing within the waters
of Behring sea from the first of May
until the first of December annually.
The Canadian government has not
been consulted at all in this matter.
The secretary of state has dealt with
the British premier direct, and this
arrangement has met with a willing
and cheerful response from Great
Britain, Germany and Russia. The
Canadians have interposed and caused
much trouble no doubt, but their ef-
forts have been futile, and were quick
ly overruled at the home Office.
