ALL THREE SHOULD RESIGN

With a Senator and Congressman
convicted of crime, and another Con
gresham under Indictment and
awaiting trial, Oregon doesn't stand
much Of chance of getting a 40-foot
channel from Portland to the sea, or
anything else except the ''short end
Of it" for the next two years. Senator
Fulton, the only delegate not under a
cloud, will doubtless do all he can for
the state, but he is a new man in
Washington and cannot be expected
to accomplish much alone.
1t is evident that Messrs. Mitchell,
Hermann and Williamson are still
seeking personal vindication, and
intend to remain in office as long as
they possibly can. Whether it IS a
reluctance to part with their official
salary, or whether it is fear that their
designations would be viewed as an
admission Of guilt, that causes them
to hang on, is not known. One thing,
however, is certain: If these men
would step aside and permit the state
to have the representation in Congress
to which it is entitled, they would
stand higher in the estimation Of the
people of Oregon than they do today.
There has been no disposition among
the people to persecute these men, and
their designations at this time would
not prejudice the mind of any good
citizen against them.
The prospects for great era of
industrial and and commercial de-
yelopment in Oregon were never
brighter than at the present time, but
desired results cannot be accomplished
without full delegation at the
National Capitol. Oregon needs
strong men at Washington today as
she has never needed them before,
and il these disgraced officials still
persist in standing in the way of the
states progress, the people should
arise as one man and demand their
designations. The interests of the
state are greater than those of any
man, or any set Of men, and there is
a time when patience ceases to be a
virtue.

their medicinal properties preserved
without the use of alcohol as to render
it safe and effective remedy for use in

Young or old can take it freely as needed,
and now that its composition is pub
lished, there is no ground for prejudice
against it as a patent medicine or secret
medicine. 1t is neither.

CAN RAISE GOOD APPLES

Here is an editorial from the Port
land Journal that should be read and
re-read by every farmer in the Will
lamette Valley:
Oregon can raise the best apples in
the world. 1t not only can, but it
does. At least that is the opinion of
apple epicures in three continents.
These superb and matchless apples
are raised in only two or three sections
Of the state Hood River has and SO
far deserves the greatest reputation,
though other localities in eastern and
southern Oregon may and perhaps
already do produce apples of equal
excellence.
The Willamette valley can produce
excellent apples, equal to those of
Missouri, Michigan, New York and
other appIe-famed states. But certain
ly many Of the apples raised in the
Willamette valley and put upon the
market here and in other towns are not
a credit to this part of the state. If of
fair size and tolerable appearance at
a glance, the producer can get some
thing for them, half or one-third what
he could for a box Of fine perfect
apples, and he would rather take what
he can get than to go to the trouble
and expense Of rehabilitating his
orchard and keeping it free of pests.
Doubtless many orchardists Of the
Willamette valley are entitled to be
exempted from this criticism. 1t does
not apply to all, but it does apply
to many--too many. The younger
orchards, and the newer men owning
orchards, we hope and believe, are
entitled to credit for an improvement
that is gradually taking place, but
taking the whole region together the
Improvement seems sluggish.
The Willamette valley in the early
days was famed far and wide. for it's
big red apples, but then the pests had
not played havoc with the orchards,
as they have been doing, in many
instances unmolested, for many years.
There ought to be concerted, deter
mined effort, backed by the law, to
revive those early conditions in this
for with work enough the
pests can be eradicated.
Wormy apples ought to be driven
out Of the market Oregon people
living in towns are as we'll entitled to
good apples as the people of New York
City or London.

SERVICE is SATISFACTORY

At q recent meeting Of the McMinn
Vile Development League, the secre-
tary was instructed to correspond
with the Boards of Trade of the towns
along the line of the Portland Dallas
road, asking them to cooperate in
securing Il morning train out Of
Portland. d.--MeMlnnville Telephone
Register.
While the people of Dallas would be
interested in seeing the towns on the
lower end of the Yamhill division Sc
cure morning train out of Portland,
the need of such a train is not
seriously felt here. Dallas has good
train facilities from Portland by way
Of the West Side division and motor
connection with Independence. 1t is
vastly more important and convenient
to Dallas to have the present service
via Independence than any morning
train service that could be given from
the Jefferson Street depot over the
Yamhill division. The motor COM
pany gives excellent service to the
people of this county, and this local
accommodation is worth more to
Dallas than any benefit that might be
gained by morning train direct from
Portland. 1t will require but a
moments thought to convince any
citizen of Dallas that it would be bad
policy to take any step that would dis
courage or cripple the present motor
service between Dallas and Inde.
pendence, which service not only gives
our people direct connection with the
Portland-Corvallis train, but brings
Independence, Monmouth and all of
the Luckiamute country in close COM
munication with the county seat. A
morning train to Dallas over the
Yamhill division would seriously
injure the passenger business on the
noon motor, and would be no con-
venience to people leaving Portland
for Dallas early in the morning.
The urgent need of a morning
passenger train from Portland to
Newberg, Dayton, WhIteson, Balls
ton aud Sheridan is apparent to all, |
and it is hoped that the rail |
road company may see its way |
clear to grant this greatly desired |
sel@ice. The people of Dallas, how
ever, are satisfied with the existing

One of the four immense stone columns
for the Masonic temple on Sixth avenue

broke in two about the middle. 1t had
been hoisted four or five feet from the
ground when one of the ropes used in
raising 1t broke and the column fell
No one was hurt by the accident and
no other damage was done, The columns
are of an unusually heavy weight. and
1t was feared some trouble would be ex-
perienced in getting them in their proper
position. However, 1t was not thought
that the ropes would break the trouble
being looked for in the slender pine poles
being used for the derrick.
The column weighs 1900 pounds and
is 20 feet long by feet In diameter. 1t
was valued at $500. As soon as the acct
dent occurred another column was ordered
and will be here in two or three weeks.
The work of raising the columns and
resting them in place was let to sub
contractor.
Owing to the unusual weight and size
of the stone, particular care was taken
in the work of raising them, great deal
of rope being coiled around the column
to protect it.
