| Salem, Or, Dec. 23.-The specia
session of the Oregon legislature

sired.

itsnr!ginated.

Salem, Or, Dec. 22.-Good pro.
gress was made in the transaction
of business in the Oregon legisla-
ture today and the outlook is favor.
able for adjournment Wednesday
night or Thursday. =
The defective tax law has been
corrected, the $500 tax exemption
has been revived, the law relating
to executions at the penitentiary
has tesn amended SO that it is
thought Pleas Armstrong can be
hanged, and a law has been enacted
fixing fees to be charged by record
ers of conveyances.
Republicans will caucus again
tomorrow at noon. They met to-
day, but Immediately adjourned.
They are more harmonious than last
night. Three important matters
remain for consideration: The Ce-
lilo canal right of way, the short
age of railway cars, and fat salaries
for state officers. A bill fixing the
time and manner in which suits
may be brought to recover fees ille.
gally collected by recorders will al
so probably be passed.
The business now in sight will
apparently occupy the legislature
all day tomorrow, but leading mem
bers express the opinion tonight
that all necessary legislation can be
attended to before midnight. Bills
OF minor Importance will take some
attention, but will probably con-
sume little time.
Both houses today passed charter
bills for the following towns: Ad-
ans, Gold Ray, Beaver Hill, North
Bend, Marshfeld, Lebanon, Cottage
Grove, Athena, Lostine, and Dallas
City.
The tax laws passed by both
Houses today were: III. B. ], by
Kay, to repeal the tax law of 1908;
Il. B. 2, by Kay, TO re-enact the
tax law as it stood before the regu-
lar session of 1903; H. B. %, by

MORGAN's STEALS.
A COSTLY BLOW Deaf Tor
AMERICAN REPUTATION.
Mr.. Perkins Witness Against thenn
Shipbuilidng Trust-He Says
Morgan & Co. Committed
Many Frauds.

New York, Dec. 12.-Concerninr
J. P. Morgan & Co.'s great steals in
the ship Building Trust manipula-
tions, The World Gays editoriallys.
"The appearance of Mr.. Perkins,.
of J. P. Morgan & Co., as a witness
in the bondholders' suit against the
Ship building trust, has settled
some points which have heretofore
been matters of conjecture or of
reasonably assumed probability.
Messrs. Morgan & Co. were the
owners, for the steel syndicate, of
the Bethlehem Steel Plant when it
was offered to Dresser and Nixon
by Mr.. Schwab.
, They were therefore responsible
for maintaining B shith=m as a
rival of their steel trust, or, to take
the other alternative, for maintain
ing it as a nominal competitor n
but really an ally, in collusive bid
ding for armor-plate contracts.
They were responsible for the
price of $50, 100000 in stock and
bonds put upon plant worth ST.
$50, 900.
They were responsible for the
contract with Harris, Gates & Co..
brokers, that $2o,ooo,ooo stock re-
ceived by them and by Schwabh
should be dealt out to the dear pub
lie" at $65 for preferred and $25 for
common shares before any of the
stock SO prodigally issued was
marketed.
They were responsible for the
discrepancy of $4,000 in the cash
of Bethlehem, trifle SO negligeable
that Nixon did not protest about
it, and for withholding Bethlehem
earnings from the company which
had purchased them with the plant.
By fair inference they or Mr..
Schwab was responsible for repre-
senting those earnings to the Shell.
don Reorganization committee at a
million a year more than they were
reported to the Listing committee
of the Stock Exchange.
They were responsible for accept
ing stock in company which they
had not Investigated in payment
for plant held for the steel syn
dicate. And <the Harris. Gates se-
cret agreement tells the reason.
Why investigate, when the stock
was to be at once ''unloaded" on
the public?
Put upon these facts the most
favorable construction possible,

line" view that gold-paved realm

Those methods have brought dis
trust upon honest enterprises and
legitimate banking. They have
put needless hardships upon finan--
cial markets. They have dealt
costly blow to American reputation
abroad. They have caused distress
to thousands of trustful investors,
and yet the men who used them are
in no danger. They are all "hon-:
orable men" and "great fnanciers."

WEEDS IN THE FEELS.

Car window pictures during a recent
short trip in Maine told of short hay

tercups and daisies. They have no
feeding value in the hay NOW and are a
nuisance in the field-flom the hay
standpoint. Indeed, they justify, josiah
Aliens appellation, "those dumbed
ever since l have known anything
about agriculture have annually report
ed that old fields would yield only a
short crop of grass, being largely run
out and given over to weeds. l cannot
understand why such an improbable
condition of affairs continues year after
year, especially in view of the good Cos
bel taught by such leaders and authori-
ties as Cheever, Sanborn, Gilbert and
others. Why are not more of these old
fields, which hardly pay for the moving,
turned over and newly seeded, thereby
producing maximum hay crops at
minimum of cost per ton? OF course
it is better to have few acres Guilt
waited well-intensely-an to let the
rest of the farm run wild, than to skim
over all and do nothing thoroughly.
But in these days of so much farm ma
chinery. one can easily cultivate IN
creasing acres without a proportion

nowadays by increasing production
without corresponding increase OF cost
that is by reducing the cost per quarter
pound or ton, by reason OF increased
amount of product. | recently heard
! very sensible lecture by Prof. Sanborn
emphasizing the Importance OF increaS-
ing the per-ac1e return of our farms.
1t is these run-out lots, producing more
daisies than hay, which prevent the de-
gree of agricultural prosperity that
New England ought to have. The
other side of the case: Weeds are only
plants out of place. Buttercups and
daisies have their uses. They are ex-

of grace, indicative of refinement and
an appreciation of the higher phases OF
farm life. The irregular sprinkling Of
white and yellow, in many gradations
of color, gives an added charm to the
landscape and increases its beauty. A
reddish effect in one field when seen
from distance attracted my attention
| on account of the pleasing effect which
this splash of color gave to the view.
