,.EGrsr.Arrvn PROGRAM.
Rir Has Chance of
 Pnasaxe.

Washington. Jan. 2s.---A conference look place tonight between Senators .Aidrich and Hale and Representative Watson.) Republican leader of the House, looking to the arrangement of a program for legislation for the re- mainders Of; the session, The Senate leaders made it clear that they did not purpose to enact any laws of general character as the appro- priation bills will occupy practically all of their remaining time.
 MT. Watson said that the House would pass, the statehood bills for Arizona and New Mexico and possibly the Knox bill, regulating shipments of intoxicating liauors into dry" csm- nunities.
 It was suggested by the Senate lead CTS that if the latter measure should come over from the House the Senate might amend it by adopting a more radical measure.
 Such measure Is not desired by the House leaders and 1t Is likely that the question of passing the Knox bill will be considered fully before q de- cision Is reached.

 Albany. N. Y.. Jan 2s-United States Sena tor-efect Elihu Root today address ed the Senate and Assembly,. MT. Root who was greeted with rounds of ap- pIaus. said In part:
 T have a rather uncomfortable sense that itswiii be quite impossible for me to live up to the many kindly and de- iightful things that have been said about me by my friends in the State of New York during the past few months" f1 s4 tfsAs3
 Discussing states, rights Mir. Root said. eeasS
 .Evidently.; if the powers of the States are to be preserved and their au- thority is to be continued. the States must exercise their powers. The invi- tation to the National government lo assume this and that duty within the Limits of n State. Is an invitation to set up National power to the exclusion the ultimate exclusion--of State power.''
 Prefacing his statemeiit that he was opposed to the direct election of United states Senators and the initiative and referendum, MT. Root said:
 aBecause believe in maintaining the two grants of power of the legislation. meaning the National power to It's full
  power, I am opposed to everything that tends to heiittle. to discredit. or to weaken the authority of the Legisia- lures or the States. You cannot take mower away from public bodies without having the character of these bodies Tdeteriorate." ss-.s-..s. ...s.s..ss.
 Regarding disputes between states. MT Foot said that the states them selves ought to concur, consult exer- cise consideration and good nefghbor- hood to each others in-the performance or state --functions in matters which amect other States. at.T
 Mir. Root pointed out what he be- ueved we're two dangers due to the de- vefopment of this country. One. he said, was the danger ipf tine National BoN- ernment breaking down, In It's emec.iYe machinery. through the burdens tha' threaten to be cast upon +
 aAnd the other he continued. Is the danger Of breaking dawn the local seii rovernrnents of the States
 The tendency of vesting all powers m tt,a central eoyernnient at Washington ba said. Is to produce the decaoence oA the powers of the states
 NOW do not misunderstand me. am A convinced and uncomprohisins 2 nationalist of the school of Aiexahues , Bananfon. I believe in the exercise Q, tbs eonstttutionai, the legislative and t,,e ,1dIciai powers of the national gov cement to the full limit of constitu- tionai grants. as those grants were construed by John Marshall. and would ts conntr1ed bv him today, But be- i,eye that xhe founders of the repub- iso hulided more wisely than they Enew when they set the limits be- tween the exercise of that natlonas so,yer throughout all the province of pperstitutlonal grants Of national power ' hel,eve also in the preservation or state power within the limits of it's iconstitnfionaI authority
 Further than that. I believe the es- sential quality of free government Is to be found in the; observance by all public officers, of the limits set by law upon their powers"

sfBY CLARA BELLE M.,

(From chicago Examiner.)
 Speaking from my own per sonal experience ana from ob- servation of many whom I have successfully treated in. the past two years, I should say that Madame Moneaux really owed her great success as a bBauty specialist to the use of simple preparation which ia used ex- clusivelyA to develop the bust. arms and neck. I became ae- Quadnted with this formuia and have used It ever since. much to the delight of patrons.
 "If your bust lacks develop ment or nrmness you can rely on both increase and firmnesss from the persistent use of the following. Obtain from the drug gist two ounces of glycerine and one ennce tincture cadomene Acompc und fnot cardamonn). mix and let stand several hours: then addfa teaspoonful of borax and three ounces of rosewater. Shake we'll and apply to the neck, ' arms and bust, rubbing and mas saging until it is completely ab- sorbed; then wash the parts treated with very hot water and soap and dry thoroughly. Apply : the treatment morning and night regularly for several weeks or months as the case may require, and the most exquisite firmness and rounding out of hollow places will reward you.

fruit EXCHANGE
SHIPPING PEARS
Apples, Peaches and Tomatoes Are
Being Shipped to Portland
Markets.

The fruit interests Of Grants Pass
are being cared for by the Fruit Ex-
change in a manner which gives sat
isfaction to growers. 1t is very evil
dent that the exchange is doing good
service to not only the fruit men,
but the truck gardeners of this part
of the county. 1t has certainly
proven that it pays to do business
through this organization. One gets
a pretty good insight into the fruit
business by looking through the
packing and shipping rooms Of the
exchange. Manager Scovill has been

week or more, the fruit shipping sea-
son having arrived.
Bartlett pears were in evidence
and last Saturday a carload of very
fine ones were shipped, having been
sold (. o. b. here at $50. On Thurs
day of this week another carload was
shipped on consignment and 1t Is ex-
pected that they will bring $175
There are quite a number OF pear
growers who are holding off, prefer
ring to await further reports from
the markets.
The pear crop tLis year arounC
Grants Pass is abundant and the
quality is all that could be desired
Early Crawford peaches have beer
shipped and have been bringing from
90 cents to $1.00 {. o. b. Grants Pass
The quality is, as a rule, fine and thi
year will decide many to plant peacl
orchards. 1t is quite clear to all oh
servers that peaches grown in thi
vicinity are quite superior to thos
which come from other places AM
consequently they bring better prices
Next year there will be number o
peach orchards planted on land tina
can be irrigated and the result vii
be that we will have better tire
growth than can be had on dry ur
land without water.
