portation Of goods locally seems to be
a solved problem.
In the matter OF design. / must say
that to my mind the American manufac-
turer Of today has little 70 learn from
abroad. Our progress in the last three
years has been so rapid that we are not
only able TO obtain and 10 use today
as fine materials as the foreigner, but
our tremendous volume Of business per-
mtts US to build each car az less cost.
Most foreign cars are finely made.
but i am glad 10 say this am great
volume Of business permits our Ameri-
can makers 10 more than equal the
quality, price for price, Of anything that
is to be had on the other side. and I
really believe that American cars are
better for road conditions in America,
because designs are primarily made to
suit the conditions here"

HOT CONTEST ASSURED.
Senate and House Will Each Hold
Out for Lumber Rate.

Senate and House Will Each Hold
Out for Lumber Rate.
Washington, July 16.-The makeup
of the committee on conference that is
now handling the tariff bill, endeavor-
ing to compromise the differences be-
tween the house and senate bills, is not
such as to inspire confidence in the
hearts of those senators and represent
atives who favor the senate duty on
rough lumber, $1.50 per 1000 feet. 1t
may be that that rate will be re-
tanned, but there is only one Republi-
can on the conference committee who
is directly interested in the lumber
schedule, and that man is handicapped
because he is big lumberman.
Of the senate conferees, not one has
any direct interest in the tariff on lum-
ber. Aldrich, Rhode Island; Burrows,
Michigan; Penrose, Pennsylvania
Hale, Maine, and Cullom, Illinois, rep
resent states that care far more about
cheap lumber than they do about high
protection for the American lumber
man. A few years ago Burrows might
have been somewhat concerned, but
now his interest is secondary. On the
house side, Payne, New York; Dalzell,
Pennsylvania; Mccall, Massachusetts
Boutell, Illinois; Calderhead, Kansas,
and Fordney, Michigan, are the confer
ees, and Fordney is the only enthusias.
tic advocate of high tariff on lumber,
for he owns fabulous quantities OF
timber land and operates number Of
lumber mills.
1t will be the contention of the
house members that the duty on rough
lumber must be reduced 81, the rate
fixed by the house in the Payne bill
They will insist that the house will moi
stand for $3.50, and will point to the
fact that it was only by narrow mar
gin that the house rejected free lum
ber amendment.

Government Considering Huge lrri-
cation Project.

Pendleton- Official confirmation of
the investigation of the large govern
ment irrigation project to reclaim Co.
900 acres of arid land in Western Una
tilla county came from Chief Engineer
of Reclamation Service A. +. Davis
and D. G. Henny, supervising engineer
of the Northwest These men were
seen as they were passing through this
city recently and both admitted that
the government had ordered tests and
complete investigation of the prospect
i've project.
The project, they said, was one OF
about dozen now under investigation
in Oregon by the reclamation service.
The most feasible will be undertaken
as soon as money is available. While
they would not say that the Umatilla
project was most feasible, there are
known to be many conditions in it's fa-
vor. The new project would be prac.
tically an extension of the Umatillia
project centering about Hermiston.
The water for the new project would
be secured by building giant reservoir
to collect the surplus waters of Butter
creek and Umatilla river. 1t is esti
mated that 60, 900 acres would be re-
claimed.

OREGON STATE items OF INTEREST
BLIGHT IN DOUGLAS.
Pear Orchards Are in Danger From
New Pest.

U
New Pest.
Roseburg-A deadly blight on the
pear orchards of this county that will
require for its eradication more atten-
tion than one man could possibly give.
has caused the county court, at the
suggestion of District Horticultural
Commissioner A. H. Carson, of Grants
Pass, to appoint two fruit inspectors
for Douglas county. The appointments
fall to F. A. McFall, of this city, and
E. F. Whitney, of Oakland, both of
whom were recommended by Mr.. Car
son, who appeared before the court in
person.
This blight, species of fungus that
emits a gum like substance, has prac-
ticaly destroyed the greater part of the
fruitgrowing industry in the Eastern
and Middle Western states and has CIV
en- the Pacific coast orchardists hard
battle. California pear growers tri-
umphed over it after having once given
up. Then the blight reached the fam
GUS Rogue river valley in Oregon. The
orchardists there promptly secured the
services of two government experts,
O'Gara and White, and these two men
are now in that valley aiding the fruit
growers to stamp out the pest.
Several months ago the blight began
to be noticeable in the Umpqua valley,
particularly around Roseburg an6
Winston. Then orchards in other To-
calities became affected, until the pres
ent day sees the pear industry in this
county threatened with damage unless
the growers take action under proper
instruction at once. Mr.. Carson ex
planned to the court that the blight car
neither be prevented nor killed by
spraying.
What causes it is not known, ant
there is only one way to get rid of it
and that is by burning the affected tre'
or branch Immediately upon discover!
of the blight. This has already beel
done in number of instances.

QUAKE CLAIMS 800
Property Damage in Greece viii
Be Tremendous.
WATER In SPRINGS TURNS HOT
Earthquake Seems of Volcanic Ma
ture and Upheavals Reported
Near Village of Ponhloti.

London, July 17.-Special dispatches
received here from Athens say that
800 persons were killed or injured by
the earthquake that occurred yesterday
in the province of Ellis, in Southern
Greece. The damage to property also
was very great. Hot water is flowing
today from many of the springs in the
stricken district, while the water in
the rivers and brooks has turned red
dish color.
The earthquake demolished 400
houses in the village of Havari, in Ellis
province. Thirty persons lost their
lives at that point and number were
injured. Neighboring villages suffered
greatly. All the houses of Amalaiva
were rendered uninhabitable. The
shocks were felt at Patras, Pyrgos,
Malamas and Tripoli, but outside of
Havari only a few deaths or injured
have been reported. A volcanic up
heaval is said to have occurred at the
village of Ponhioti.

WARSHIPS ON THAMES.
British Admiralty Attempts to AlIay
Fears of People.

London, July 17.-One hundred and
ty-eight British warships dropped
anchor in the Thames tonight, the ar
ray extending from the estuary at the
south end of the river to Westminster
bridge, in the heart of London. The
object of this extended and superb dis
play of Britain's fighting power is an
anti panic show. Uneasiness prevails
in every quarter of Britain. Anxiety
in higher circles as to the condition of
the country's defenses has caused sp-
prehension and pessimism throughout
the body polite.
Lord Roberts says the army is
tragic joke. Admiral Beresford says
the navy is not what it has been con-
sidered. And Germany is accused of
having aggressive designs against the
peace and liberty of the Britons. The
result of all this ferment is that the
country is in danger of "going off its
head" The mighty armada on the
Thames is the admiralty's heroic seda-
tive.

EXHIBIT TO BE SAVED.
Plans Made to Preserve Oregon Dis
play at A.-Y.-P. Fair.


Seattle-Practically the entire ex-
hibit of the state of Oregon at the A.
Y.-P. exposition, with whole sections
of the interior decorations of the build
ing, will be removed to Salem, Or,
and made permanent part of the Ore
gon state fair, according to plans dis
cussed by the Oregon commissioners
during the visit Of Governor Benson to
the exposition.
Governor Benson will probably sug-
gest to the next Oregon legislature the
idea of taking the Seattle display to
Salem. The cost has been figured
about $4,000 and for this expense
two thirds of the 100000 display in
the Oregon building could be preserved.
The elaborate decorations and pano-
rama worked in Oregon grains, the
handsome wood panelings and other
decorative features of the interior OF
the Oregon building will be moved in
tact, if the plan is carried out.
1t is believed at the close of the ex-
position the Oregon building will be
presented to the state university.

COREA ACCEPTS CHANGE.
Transfer of Courts to Japan Quietly
Received.

Seoul, July 16.-The news of the
new agreement between Japan and
Corea arranging for the transfer of
Corean judicial authority to Japan, is
being quietly accepted here, now that
its terms are fully understood.
1t was feared that some disturbance
might follow the public misapprehen-
sion that the disbanding of the court
guards was included in the abolition of
the Corean war office. Now that it is
known generally that the guards are
not to be discharged, but merely are
to be placed under the command of the
emperor's aide-de-camp, the cause for
uneasiness has been removed.
1t is believed that the convention be-
tween the two countries relative to the
transfer was signed July IL. The pro-
visions of the document, besides the
changes mentioned, look to the control
of Corean prisons by the Japanese.

New York, July 17.-An indictment
for smuggling was handed down today
by the Federal grand jury against Mrs.
Fremont Chesbro, owner of the Ches-
bro Coastwise line of steamers running
out of Boston.
The case was placed in the hands of
the United States district attorney for
the district of New Jersey after the
discovery of double bottom in one of
the trunks which Mrs. Chesbro brought
to this country with her on the Kaiser
Wilhelm II last May.
Wearing apparel appraised at $780,
600 was found in this hidden compart-
ment, together with bills and invoices
indicating the purchase abroad of a
pearl necklace valued at $23, 900. The
necklace was not found among Mrs.
Chesbro's effects, but was yesterday
turned over to the customs officials by
Mrs. Chesbro's attorney.

Teheran, July 16.-The Royalist
forces apparently have had enough Of
fighting and are prepared to admit the
supremacy of the Nationalists. The
secretary of the Russian legation here
submitted proposals for the surrender
of the Cossacks. He asked that the
Nationalists cease attacking the Cos
sacks, that the Cossacks be allowed tc
continue service under the future Per-
sian government and that their safety
be guaranteed, which was agreed to.
