and they all tell the same story
without variation. Perhaps the
most Important letter received
by the Senator is one from A. C.
Wilkinson, editor of the Eastern
Dealer, which is published in
Philadelphia. It gives the story
of the organization and operation
of tn mammoth combination in
farm ma chinery and accords fully
with similar recitals from other
sources.
The Department of Commerce
and Labor has entered upon the
investigation directed by the
Hansbrough resolution, and it is
more than probable that by the
end Of the summer, upon the
evidence thus secured, the depart
ment Of Justice will Institute

ator Hansbrough's resolution
directing the Department of
Commerce and Labor to make an
investigation of the lnternation-
al Harvester Co. has brought
hundreds Of letters of approval,
and the Senator is classifying
this correspondence so that it
may be submitted to the depart
ment with a view to aiding in the
investigation. He has received
letters from Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Wise >nsin, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and the two Da-
kotas. e 9.:
The general tone of these let
tiers is to the effect that farm
machinery generally is selling
from 20, to 40 per. cent. higher
than it was five yearsSSago Z when
the trusts organized ;lthatg. local
competition between dealers has
practically Disappeared; that
local agents everywhere under

replaced by agents who will do
so, and in many instances recall
citrant agents, who ref Use to
sign contracts to sell at uniform
prices, are forced out Of business;
that since the trust was organiz-
ed they have reduced their sales

tionsieft at all trust canyassers

Great as was the wheat crop,
says the Arlington Record, 1t is
likely to be surpassed by the crop
of wild geese, acres of which are
now ready for the harvester.
Arlington appears to be the stop
ping place of these birds of pass
age, and more of them have paused
in their flight to inspect the coun.
try hereabouts than Rockefeller
has dollars. Hunters are swarm
ing in from ali directions and the
railroads, powder trust and hotels
are hoping the goose harvest will
last all winter. -Four sportsmen
brought in 100 geese as the result
of one mornings work and this is
not much above the average of q
good shot. The birds are in fine
condition and when properly cook
ed are good enough to tempt a

sawmiiis May Cut wages.

Sawmll co npanies OF Portland are
seriously considering the proposition OF
reducing wages. should the present ur-
favorable conditions continue for eny
length of time. 1t is understood that
the Mul,nomah Lumber 4 Box Factory,
operating on the South Portland water
front, has already reduced the pay Of
it's hands from So to So 25 to $l.75 a
day. The reduction affects the men en-
poyed as laborers in and about the
yards.
I'VE cannot continue to pay present
wages mach ltnger," said the manager
of the Eastern & Western l umber Mills
this morning, "as we are losing money
right a'ong. We will keep wages up
as long as We can, as We do not desire
to add our straw to the los d the camel
is packing, snd We hope for better con-
ditions iE the near future"
"Our Eastern market has been ut off
from ps by the high rates of the rail-
roads and we have difficulty in reaching
the nearby interior markets by the lack
Of cars. The railroads are not bringing
as many open cars West as We need. be.
cause the moving of the grain crop keeps
such cars in commission.
"There are about 1000 men emplyed
by the sawmills of 70 t'and, and re.
ducton of wages would mean lessening
of coin in circulation to considerable
degree. Add to this number about 1900
more. employed in the logging camps
and on the steamboats, and logging RATS,
whose wages would follow the decline,
and it can be readily seen how importal
it is to the people of the Northwest that
wages he kept up as high as possible.
"Men have become suddenly numer-
GUS, and We are obliged to post notices
No More Men Wanted at the entrance
t. our yards, for the first time in several
years."

Women Who Wear Well.

II is astonishing how great change .
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brillance vanish like the bloom from Il
peach which is rudely handled. Tho
matron is only n dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
neSses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
