sTRATroN ASSISTED WORK

The members Of the legislature who
drew this bill were assisted by Collector
Stratton, who was the author of the
first of the bills for our present pri-
mary system, and by John L. Davis
upon whom, as code commissioner, the
legislature depended for several years
for the drafting and codification of our
laws
As criticism ready made falls fiat
when applied to the Wright stanton
bill 1t is ready made in the best
sense of the term. and the people gem
orally who rolled up a majority Of 104.-
600 for Senator Wrights direct primary
constitutional amendment believe it is
a ready made which will 1T the sit

That does not mean that the pro-
ponents of this bill claim to have a
corner on all the wisdom or direct
primary knowledge in this state We
believe, and the people generally be-
lieve, that this bill is a complete and
wholly adequate measure; but any
amendment which win improve 1t and
make ii more valuable measure for
all the people will be gladly welcomed
and heartily Endorsed by its friends"

Portland.-The Oregonian today
prints special from Grass Valley, Ore,
which indicates that Porter Brothers
have already inaugurated a vigorous
campaign against the Harrimn sys-

Deschutes Canyon. During the past
twenty days, the Hartman contractors
have built at heavy expense, wagon
road over government land from the
summit of the canyon to the river
level at Horseshoe Bend, a point
where the special states, the surveys
conflict and where there is apparent
ly room for only one road. To gain
the summit of the canyon from Grass
Valley, it is necessary to pass through
trance, Porter Brothers are said TO
have purchased and fenced up. The
coup is stated to have bottled up the
Hartman party in the canyon with
but small part Of their grading out
fit with them and no way to get the
rest of it in. A portion of Porter
Brothers equipment arrived at the
entrance to the canyon last night and

made today by Porter Brothers out

locate a camp almost at the very base
of Harriman's operations.

naval constructors, the new first

has been the custom with all the in
dependent houses. This carried the
grain up to the following July 1st.
Graingrowers' association to engage
in the warehouse business or the
buying of grain, confining their ef-
forts to securing fair treatment and
reasonable charges for storage, lower
prices for sacks and twine and full
market prices for grain, less reason
able charges for handling. II the re-
ports Gas now seems certain) are
true. my advice to the members OF
the Graingrowers' association is to
hold their wheat at home until the
grain is sold unless they are in posi-
ton to reach such warehouses as will
give the soc per ton storage.
The Graingrowers' association has
gone on record endorsing the so cents
per ton charge and the time Is now
ripe to stand firm for this. The
writer has never encouraged the
farmers building extensive ware
houses when they could get fair
treatment from the grain companies,
believing there was sufficient ware
houses already at the principal sta
tions. Under this last move it now
seems necessary for the farmers to
stand out and protest and protest
hard against the excessive charge for
the handling Of their grain.
Respectfully,

Athena, Ore, July 29, 1909.
Editor East Oregonian,

Editor East Oregonian,
Pendleton, oregon.
Dear Sir:-Some time early in the
spring the report was given out that
the Puget Sound Warehouse COM
pany and Pacific Coast Elevator COM
pany would reduce the warehouse
charges on grain to so cents per ton.
In conversation with the managers OF
other companies 1t seemed to be the
opinion that all companies would only
charge the straight so cents per ton
storage. Many farmers had taken
advantage Of the delay in threshing
caused by the rain to haul their
wheat under the impression that the
so cents per ton storage would apply.
This, however, seems an error, as
when receipts are given out q am in
formed) the receipts call for so cents
per ton for the first 80 days and 10
cents per ton per month Thereafter.
This instead Of being reduction IN
charges TO the farmers is in reality
an advance. The Graingrowers' as
ISOLATION of Umatilla county has
worked for two years for the reduc-
ton Of storage charges to the so cents
per ton charge, believing that the 70
cents per ton charge was excessive
being a charge of 2 IA cents per
bushel. This only carried the grain
TO January /, after which there was
a charge of 10 cents per ton per
month.
Under the reduction" made by the
warehouse people for the 1909 crop
II a farmer has his grain in ware
house August 1, the charges for stor-
age January 1 following will be 80
cents per month instead Of 75 cents
under the old rate. Two years ago

vanced their charges from so cents

GREAT ENDURANCE
AUTO RACE TODAY
WILL BE A 24-HOUR SPEED
CONTEST AT BRIGHTON BEACH
First Contest of the Sort Ever Held
in Amerlca-Winning Cars Are
Expected TO Go at Least 1900
NIiles-Must Average go Miles an
Hour While on Track.

New York, July 30.-What its pro-
moters declare will be the first bona
fide twenty-four hour speed and en-
durance automobile test ever held In
America is scheduled to begin this
evening on the Brighton Beach Motor
drome and will be concluded tOmor-
row.
In previous contests of this char
acter it as been customary to per-
NIT at least cne stop during the twen-
ty-four hours, but there will be no
interruption in the Motordrome race
until the full time has elapsed. The
scene of the grueIling contest is the
old Brighton Beach race track, which
was saved from being cut up into
building lots by the Motor Racing as
to first class shape and is now one
of the best motoring courses in the
world.
A large crowd is assembled at the
Motordrome this afternoon to witness
the preliminary events, which in
clude a fifty-mile race for small cars,
a five-mile free-forall and time trials
open to all types and powers.
Most Difficult Ever Held.
1t is certain that the twentyfour
contest will be the most difficult and
straining endurance contest ever held
on any track. In former events of
the kind the temporary cessation of
racing has afforded an opportunity
to mechanical forces to put compet-
ing machines in good running order
and has given the drivers an opportu-
nifty for much needed rest. 1t will
therefore be appreciated how much
more difficult the contest will be than
any that has preceded it,
It is figured out by experts that
the Brighton Beach struggle will be
the most grueling automobile compe-
tition ever promoted on this conti-
nent. II will be much more severe
to both cars and drivers than any
of the Vanderbilt cup races, the
Grand Prize race the vGraircliff Tro-
ply contest or any of the big road
events that have attracted wide at
tention. The longest of any of these
road contests was the the Automobile
Clubs Grand Prize race at Savannah
last fall. This event, however, was
held over SO-mile course with easy
turns and the total distance was only
400 miles. Vanderbilt cup races have
never exceeded 300 miles in length.
VIII Probably Go 1900 Miles.
As compared with those events. the
Brighton Beach contest will probably
go 1900 miles before the winning line
is reached. The record established
last wear by Simplev car, driven by
Robertson and Lescault. was 1,197
miles. which established a worlds
record and was considered a phenom-
email showing, particularly as the VIM
ner was pressed by several motors
right to the tape.
To eclipse that mark competing
cars on the motordrome by the sea
will have to travel at least sixty miles
an hour while they are on the track
that is. after deducting the estimat-
ed time that cars will lay idle during
the tire changes and for other rea-
sons. 1t is figured that an average
of twenty tires will be changed in the
twenty-four hours on each car.
