ARE HUGHES AND
TAFT AT LOGERHEADS.
New Yorks Governor Has Not Been
Represented at Peace Conferences.

Represented at Peace Conferences.
Washington, July 21.-Why has
Governor Charles Evans Hughes, the
New York executive, been unrepre-
sented in the harmony conferences
between Judge Taft and the late la
mented "allies," at Hot Springs?
That's what politicians Of the first
magnitude are asking in Washington
today. Is the governor grouchy over
something, or don't the Taftltes want
him to play in their back yard?
The smoke of battle had hardly
cleared away before Speaker Cannon
was putting his cigar under Judge
Taft's vine and fig tree and express
ing his humble desire to serve Buck
eye Bill in whatsoever capacity he
might will. Senator Beveridge, Sem
ator Hemenway and Representative
Watson blocked the door in their
eagerness to get into Judge Taft's
room first to tell him how loyal the
Fairbanks men would be to the Ohio
nominee. Being the loudest talker,
Senator Beveridge got Judge Taft's
ear first
Representative Burke of Pennsyl-
vanla, hot-footed in across country,
from Senator Knox's country home to
tell the new big chief how much the
senator loved his conqueror. He had
hardly gotten 10 Hot Springs before
Representative Cooper of Wisconsin,
came to pledge the vote of the La
Toilette crowd Of reformers. Even
Senator Dick of Ohio, strutted around
as the representative of Senator For
aker to display within the sight of
Judge Taft a beautiful white flag.
But where was he who bore the
insignia Of Governor Hughes? Not in
Hot Springs. And Judge Taft has
seen no one Of that stripe since he
was nominated The politicians are
wondering II he wants to.

To HIRE OUT JAPANESE HARVEST HANDS

H. Komura, Japanese labor con-
tractor of Seattle, is in the city to-
day looking over the prospect Of hir-
ing out 100 or more Japanese labor
ers for harvest hands in this county
Mr. Komura says that in a number
of places in the northwest where
white labor is scarce and unsatisfact-
ory that japanese are being used in
the harvest fields very successfully.
They soon learn to manipulate the
farming machinery and handle teams
and as they work steadily and do not
make trouble by jumping the job"
Unexpectedly, they are ideal harvest
hands.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-21

II it is possible to do so Mr.. Ko-
mura will engage with farmers to
furnish them full crews for harvest.
guaranteeing that the crews stay uh-
til harvest is over. He says the Jap
anese lahorers can be secured at from
si.75 to $2.O0 per day and that they
will do as much as an ordinary white
man in hot weather.
The japanese have been successful
ly introduced into the beet districts
Of the west and in many places are
used exclusively in the sugar beet
fields and he sees no reason why this
labor should not be used extensively
in the wheat belt.

That the eastern Oregon sheepmen
sold their wool too cheap this year
and by doing so lost at least two or
three cents per pound on their clips
is shown by recent developments in
the market.
At a sale held at Billings, Mont,
a few days ago prices ranged from
16 1-2 TO IS 5-S cents per pound.
The clip of Lafeldt & Stoltenberg,
amounting to 10000 pounds, sold
for IS SIS cents Another large clip.
that Of S. NJ. Parkham, aggregating
5000 pounds sold for II 5-S while
that Of A. M. Woolfork, $4,000
pounds went for 16 1-2.
For the remainder OF the Billings
wool similar prices were paid and
thus It will be seen that the Montana
men were given in the neighborhood
of five cents per pounds more than
were the Oregon men. Z
Oregon Men Soaked"
II the reports from Montana are
true, and they appear to be authentic,
the Umatilla county growers and
their fellow sheep raisers Of eastern
Oregon did not get what was coming
to them for their wool.
There are two things that tend to
make Montana woods higher than
Oregon woods. The difference in
freight rates is computed at one cent
while the Montana shrinkage is seven
per cent less than that Of Oregon.
According to the statistics of the Ma
tional Woolen Manufacturing associa-
tion the shrinkage in Montana wool
was SO per cent for 1907 while the
Oregon clips shrank 10 per cent.
Considering the shrinkage ratio to
be the same this year Montana men
should properly have been given La
gents more for their wool than the
Oregon men However, they received
fully five cents per pound more and
the difference represents
the amount the Oregon men were enc
titled to but did not get. Had UNA
tilla county growers beep paid prices
in proportion to those given IN Mon
tana they would have received app
$4,000 or $4,000 more
for their wool than they did
Early SAles Bad.
The fact that eastern Oregon woods
opened the market this spring large
ly accounts for the low price received
and some men who are informed de-
clare that local wool growers make q
mistake when they allow the market
to be opened here This year the
buyers came into the field with a de-
to bear the market, az
was but natural under the conditions.
In opening the season they quite ma
turally wished to set a low pace and
the Oregon woods, being the first Of
fered, were made to suffer.
At least this is the theory now ad-
vanced and in view of the news from
there is much foundation
for it, Whether or not the sheepmen
will see the point sufficiently to de-
fer their sales next year until the
market has already been Opened"
remains to be seen.

Prospects for a gravity water sys-

and It is now very probable that
some actual steps looking toward the
installation OF such system will be
started soon.
AS already known a majority OF II
not all the water commission, are IA
vorable to a gravity system and
some OF them are anxious to get me
preliminary work started as quickly
as possible. Up to this time the
board. as now constituted with Judge
Fee as a member in place Of W. J..
Furnish has not met but a meeting
will be held the first of August. At
that time there may be something
doing that will mean much for the

Brown Wants Action.


chairman OF the board today II
would like TO see the commission en-
ploy an engineer TO commence inves-
legations soon. We will first have to
find out how far up the river we must
20 TO secure water, how We can get
Il and how we can bring II down. I
am In favor Of having thorough
survey made so that we will know ex-
actiy what can be done.
"Then when we have found where
we want our pipe line to run We can
ask for a right of way across the
reservation. To get that will take
an act OF congress and we should be
prepared so that Congressman Ellis
can take the matter up this coming
winter. II we could get the neces-
sary right of way we could then have
all preliminary work done In time so
that the people could vote upon the
subject at the next general election a
year from the coming November"
= Movement Is Popular.
To say that the water board is
endorsed In its desire for a gravity
system is expressing It mildly From
appearances there has never been Q
more popular move than that for a
new water system and II present sem
timent continues there will be but
few votes against the improvement
when II comes to a vote.
