will be included in the new company, to
be organized under New Jersey charter,
but it is understood that it will embrace
the big Henrietta mills, the Thos. M.
Holt mills at Haw River the Fries mills
at Salem, some of the Gastonia and
Reidsville mills, York, S. c., Chester, S.

he said:
Mr. Henry E. Fries. of Salem, is in
terested with syndicate of New York

a number of cotton mills in the South
in one large corporation under the laws
of New Jersey. Mr.. Fries and his asso-
ciates say that in such an organization
large savings could be effected in man
agement in the purchase of supplies, and
the sales of the products. 1t is not pro-
posed to attempt the purchase of all the

to purchase certain mills that can be
operated better by cooperation than
separately.

State, has been selected to ascertain and
equalize the value of all mills that are
purchased by the new company. The char

EMPEROR WILLIAM DISCOVERS
American Buckvheat Cakes and Sends
Chef to Learn This Delicious Break
fast Dish.

That good old American buckwheat
cakes, with maple syrup can tickle an
imperial palate is the latest discovery
made by William H., of Germany.
The Emperor learned the appetizlng
qualities Of American cookery during a
visit to the new Hamburg American
yacht, Princess Victoria Louise, TO
which, for the occasion. the noted chef
of the crack steamer Deutschland, Herr
Fahrenheim, had been transferred.
An American breakfast was prepared
for the Emperor, which he liked so well
that he stayed for another. His
Majesty especially praised the buck
wheat cakes, which he declared had
proven extremely palatable, and finally
sent his own chef TO the Deutschland.
where he took a two days course in
American cookery, during which, the
Deutschland's chef says, he was taught
how to make American buckwheat
cakes and other typical American
dishes.
The American buckwheat cake as
served on the Deutschland, and which
is 10 be hereafter a part of Emperor
Williams menu, is made in the follow
ing manner: Two cups of buckwheat,
cne cup of wheat -four. two table
spoons of Royal Baking Powder. one
half teaspoonful of salt, all sifted we'll
together. Mix with milk into a thin
batter and bake at once on hot grid

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.

A Salem correspondent makes q
statement OF the Oregon assessments
Of railroads OF this year, which pur-
ports to indicate that he roadbeds
have been made TO pay a algher pro-
portionate rate Of taxation. says the
Pendleton East oregonian. His fig
ures are self-contradictory The to-
tai assessment for the state is Is per
cent higher than ne preceding year,
while the roadbed assessments are IN
creased only per cent. In reality.
the railroad tax agent have apparent
ly succeeded in inducing Oregon as
SCISSORS to grant them some very
especial favors, which have been
overlooked by the county equalization
board
The logic Of the situation in Ore
gon Is this The s'a.e has beol ex-
ceedingly liberal with the railroad
companies; has permitted them to
transact business without the enact
ment Of antl-railrold laws; has rcv-
er attempted to regulate rates; has
treated them just as other concerns
are treated. Notwithstanding several
things. one Of which is:
All efforts to secure improvement
Of the upper Columbia river have
been defeated by the influence Of the
transcontlnental railways. They
have desired no Improvement here.
for the reason that it would give them
such competition "a ALREADY is offered
from The Dalles down T. Portland,
since the river has been made navl-
gable for freight carriers.
In short, Oregon has been easy"
and has allowed the birthright Of the
greatest waterway. next to the Mis-
slssippl, to remain practically un-
touched, with an empire waiting rapid
development so soon as the wQSder-
ful artery is opened TO navigation.
