CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY
WANTS GOVERNMENT TO BUY
Representative from Second District
VIII Seek to Have an Appropriation
Added TO the Rivers and HarbOrs
Bill at This Session Thoagh General
Bill VIII Not be Passed.

Though there will be no general
rivers and harbors bill at this session
of congress, Congressman w. c. Haw-
ley is trying to get an appropriation
for the purchase Of the Oregon City
locks with funds provided by the
government and the state acting to-
gether, says the Salem Statesman.
Concerning his efforts In that direc-
tion last evenings Portland Telegram
said:
Congressman Hawley, Of the First
district has hopes Of making the Ore
gon City locks free for all river boats
and to that end is striving to have a
sufficient appropriation tackled on to
the rivers and harbor bill this session
to buy the locks from the present
owners, the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company. The appropria-
ton OF 100000 set aside by the state
for the purpose Is to be augmented,
Mr.. Hawley says, by an amounte in
cluded In the river and harbor appro-
priation by congress. He has written
to Secretary Giltner of the Portland
chamber OF commerce, urging that a
committee be appointed by the organ
ization whose duty will be to collect
facts and figures relating to the
amount of tonnage now passing
through the locks for the entire year.
Mr.. Giltner will bestir himself I'm the
mater In order that the necessary
figures be placed before the rivers and
harbors committee as soon as possible.
The locks at Oregon City were
built by private corporation, over 80
years ago." Mr.. Giltner SAYS. "and Il
was the understanding then that they
should become the property Of the
state after a certain time, on the pay
ment OF q stipulated sum. The locks
have been offered TO the state on
more than one occasion, but no legis-
lature has taken the steps necessary
for the transfer.
Public ownership of the locks will
very likely rebound to the advantage
OF the producers Of the willamette
valley and to the business men OF
Portland, who will be enabled to send
goods by steamer at lower rates than
now rule.
THE locks at the Cascades are op-
Grated free by the general govern
ment. but have not thus far served to
reduce freights TO and from the in
land empire. but this is because the
locks at Cello have not ben finished.
When the distractions on the Upper
Columbia are removed and boats can
go from Portland to Umatilla without
portages, public ownership and opera
ton of the locks at the Cascades will
begin TO have the effect of reducing
freight rates as intended by the origi-
nal promoters OF the locks"

the first will be grouped art, army,
navy, transportation, education, fores-
try, agriculture and fisheries minee-
ralogy and metals, chemicals and
miscellaneous. In the second the
commercial and industrial divisions
will be arranged in two sections one
representing manufactures and the
other the numerous interesting home
industries.
Considerable space will be devoted
to showing the manufacture of Mex
lean goods and various apparatus and
appliances peculiar to Mexico will be
on view. The weaving OF straw, wool,
and other fabrics, together with wood
carving, pottery, ETC., will also occu-
py prominent place in this division,
while there will be a unique collec-
tion Of the small crafts and employ
ments, which are so different from
artistic productions of the same kind
in European countries.

MEANS STOMACH COM
FORT.
It's of Special Value to Many Here In
PendIetOn.

A notable discovery, and one that
appeals especially to many people in
Pendleton, is the combination OF
stomach help in the Mi-o-na treat
ment. This preparation works won
ders in cases Of indigestion or weak
stomach.
It acts directly upon the walls Of
the stomach and bowels, strengthening
and stimulating them so that they
readily take care Of the food that Is
eaten without distress or suffering.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use OF Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by Tallman & Co.
under an absolute guarantee to re-
fund the money II It fails to cure. A
50-cent box OF Ml-o-na will do the
good the stomach needs, which is sim
ply to make 1t do its own work.

Great Britain and the Latin-American

This is high praise, coming as it does
from a semi-official newspaper that

Berlin real estate dealers cherish
the prospect that somebody will be-

chase of an American embassy build
ing in the kaiser's capital. Since the
announcement of the project, the en-
bassy and state department have been
deluged with offers Of property of
every description, ranging from pala-
tial and princely establishments to
suburban tenement houses. Ameri-
cas- fame for wealth is so thoroughly
established in Germany that each en-
terprising house agent is confident he
will have no trouble in driving a
bargain for himself If, as
reported, It is intended to divide half
a million dollars equally between the

An interesting thing about the
creamery business is the fact that |,
500 Of the 5000 creameries are coop
erative plants, and the number of CO.
operative creameries is constantly
growing. The greater number of
creameries that have gone out of
business for one reason or another in
the past few years has been of the
individual creameries.
Something over a thousand cream
cries, mainly in the Middle North
west, have reported the results of the
past years business to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. These reports
are nearly all from sections where the
local creamery (either cooperative or
individually predominates. Careful es-
Inmates have been made from these re-
ports which show that the net price
paid farmers for butter-fat at these
creameries averaged between % and
20 cents for the year 1907. The low
est price paid was in June, when the
average was between "a and 25 cents.
These prices are true only for the
local creamery, which receives it's
cream or milk direct from farmers
wagons, where there is neither COM
mission to pay for buying cream nor
freight or express charges for trans
porting it to the churning plant. Com
mission and freight average from to
3 cents per pound. Farmers selling
cream to agents who have to ship the
cream to distant churning points may
expect to receive to 8 cents less per
pound for butter-fat than prices paid
by local creameries.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture is DESTROYS of getting ad-
ditional information concerning the
net returns farmers are receiving
where, by reason of their location,
they are obliged to sell through cream
buying agencies rather than to local
creamery.
