MAXI TROUBLE
FOR OLD TIMERS IN CONGRESS-
President Taft Refuses TO Take Sides
bu; Rcbcllious Members Still
Carry on Their Fight.

WASHINGTON. .Larch s.-Presi-
dent Tart was given an opportunity
/ 10 declare himself on the insurgept
movement to revise the house rules
and automatically "sidestepped" the
question. A visit of the "insurgent''
delegation consumed most of the af-
ternoon.
The three insurgents heard 1t
charged that President Taft intended
joining hands with the house organi-
cation in the interests of getting a
tariff bill through quickly, greatly
disturbed them and they hurried to
the White House to urge President
Taft to take a neutral position and
leave the fighting to them. When
they came out of the executive office
Gardner of Massachusetts declared
with an exhibition ef confidence that
the insurgents were no longer in
a compromising mood
eve are firmly impressed that
Taft is not opposed to change in the
rules" said Gardner, "but little
fearful that the contest now would
interfere with the passage of a tariff
bill"
The insurgents" Dromised that
they would not interfere with the con-
tinuance of the present ways and
means committee and no objection
will be made to the continuance of
the committee on any subject on
which the president felt inclined to
ask legislation. They also promised
they would not use any obstructive
tactics if they made their fight and
lost.
Senator Payne visited President
Taft for few minutes and when he
left said he had told President Taft
that the tariff bill would be ready
for a report on the first day of the
session, he he could not promise the
president what would happen if the
present chaotic conditions in the
house continued.

HOP MEN IN QUANDARY
OVER PROSPECTS
Uncertainties of Market May Result
In Tearing Up of More Hop
FIELDS in 1900.

Hep growers have of late been
undergoing the pressure, incidental
to this time of the year, in the way
Of encouragement to undertake cul-
tivation of the crop again this sea-
son. At this time it is impossible
to tell whethe the acreage under
cultivation will be greater or less
than that under cultivation last
year.
The likelihood. however. is that
'he cutting out of the roots, which
was so general last year, will be
continued. There has been consid-
cradle activity on the part of those
who desire to make contracts and
1o1. cents las been the prevailing
figure. Not many contracts, how
ever, have been made. There is a
feeling that the worlds production
has been III excess of the demand.
Accol ding to the report of the secre-
tary of agriculture for 1907 the pro-
duction of the United States for that
year was 1880, 900, or 4.G per cent
below the average for five years.
while the price value was $4,000, 900
or 20 per cent below the five-year
average. The crop of the world in
1907 was 212, 100000 pounds.
In Yakima county it has been so
clearly demonstrated that land put
&c other crops will yield fair re-
turn on the investment that many
who have hitherto grown hops have
decided that there is no advantage in
devotins their acreage to that when
fruit or something else is better
and more certain paying PROPOSE
tioh. Conditions elsewhere, it is
thought, may make hops a good
crop bat in this county they are de-
clarad at present to be a doubtful
experiment.
G. G. Mitchell, who has been one
Of the large hop growers and who
last year reduced his acreage nearly
% per cent, is now planning on

be found expensive, and a matter of
long time, if everybody did not lose

Mr.. O'Bryan said that the only
reason that money was not available
for his work was because of the ac-
ton of the government with regard
to his water right. He expressed
himself as sure, however, that the
government will settle.
r. J. Sigel suggested water US

Mr. O'Bryan what money the land
owners have to form such an associa-
ton and replied that he thought they

make an effort to purchase water
from the reclamation service. Hav-

O'Bryan, promoter of the project, to

not announced will be taken.
Mr.. O'Bryan is prepared to stand
in with the land owners in their plan
of a water users association and to
allow the use Of his plant for the pur-
poses of elevating water. His over
lures in this regard made at a meet

house Tuesday afternoon were not
received graciously.
Mr.. O'Bryan had previously stated
to those present that he declined to
deal with them until they had legal

Mr.. O'Bryan was not without friends

minority.
The meeting opened with a pro-
posal from Mr.. O'Bryan. He declar-

that was the understandings there

all that was said directly on the prop

The Idea Of the convention is original
with DR.. Hill, who believes that the

In advancing the material as we'll as
the spiritual welfare of the country.
The principal speaker was Congress-
man William E. Humphreys, of Wash

Mr.. Humphreys called attention to
the liberal policy pursued by Japan in
subsidizing her merchant marine, and
pointed out as natural consequence
the practical control of the commerce
Of the Pacific by that nation.
Il do not believe he said that we
are going to have war with Japan, but
any one who thinks that Japan has not
the courage to make war OF the flnan-
cial capacity to carry Ii out has not
read properly the history of this great
nation"
The speaker declared it would be a
simple matter In the event of war with
Japan to land 100000 troops in the
Philippines and 100000 in Hawaii be-
fore the United States could begin 10
