Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1911-08-08

Senator LaFollette is exercised
over the failure of his little scheme to
put President Taft into dark, deep
hole in connection with the wool bill
and the free list bill, and it is said
that he now fears that it is himself
who will explore said hole. When the
Wisconsin senator engineered his lit
tie alliance with the Insurgents and
the Democrats he chuckled in the be-
lief that he had completed a really
clever piece of politics, and one
which would give his presidential as
pirations a substantial boost. But,
having heard from the country, he
fears that any compromise wool bill
that may be agreed upon will not be
popular. LaFollette fears that if
President Taft is given the opportun-
ity TO veto the wool bill, the country
will approve, and LaFollette and his
Insurgent allies will find themselves
in the hole. There is evidence also
of a break between the Insurgent
leader and the Democrats and it APP
pears that the latter may resent La
Follette's domination and insist upon
running things themselves. Looking
at the question from all sides. it seems
that the Wisconsin senator is facing
an acute position.

CHALETS OF SWITZERLAND
 IN CANADIAN ROCKIES

Chicago April 22.-(Speoial)-The tick yodeling Tyrolean are about to invade the silences of the Canadian Rockies The chalet and the chamos goat are to be picked up and transplanted bodily, to the surprise of the pioneer and the indigna- tion of the crook-horned mountain sheep, who has been the only goat of the Rockies so long that he is jealous of his position.
 If you drop off at Golden, B. C., to coquette with the steeps of the Selkirks, and go housing about the scenery, you are likely to come upon place that will make you rub your eyes and wonder if you have stepped by mistake into the shoes of Rip Van Winkle For there in the pines and the powders of Canada half a world away from their natural habitate, is typical Swiss village. chalets, cream cheese, black bread, full petticoated frauen, cuckoo clocks and all. In the tiny cuplike meadows the goats are pastured, and William Tell is like ly to jump out at you from behind any bush.
 Of course, the whole Swiss republic could be picked up, to the last edelweiss, and lost dozen times over in the vast sweep of the Canadian Rockies, but for the present only one village is to be brought over seas and put down in the new world. Every year a corps of Swiss guides is brought over by the Canadian Pacific railway to assist mountain climb CTS in ascending the larger peaks, and 1t has recently been decided to give them a home in Canada for tho entire year, h. stead of for the summer month alone. A typical Swiss village is to be built and the Switzers will reproduce the living conditions of their native land as exactly as possible, giving tourists an opportunity

 By an overwhelming majority the chamber of commerce has protested against against the ratification of the declaration of London. A motion to post pone any expression of opinion until this proposed change in the laws governing naval warfare could be submitted to the imperial conference was swept aside, ana the great industries of the country put on record the verdict that the declaration is menace to the national food supply in time of war.
 Over 100 chambers of commerce are members of the association which has taken this important step. The Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom passed A. similar resolution and urged the gov ernment to refuse ratification to the declaration. It has now been condemned not only by the commercial and shipping community, but by admirals, international lawyers and members of parliament.
 Shopkeepers are greedily anticipating a record trade boom during the coronation season and have already begun revising their price lists. Visitors are threatened with extortionate charges. not only by shopkeepers, but also by hotel and boarding house proprietors and by per sens who are peddling seats to view the royal processions.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 17.-As the
result OF thawing of heavy snow of
last week and almost continual rains
OF this week, streams in Iowa, espe-
cially in the eastern portion, are ris-
ing rapidly and in some places al
ready have done IN immense amount
of damage. The Des Moines river
is rapidly rising and at Frazer the
large dam which is being built by
the water power company is threat

Wapsie and MaQuoketa rivers hun
dreds OF cattle, sheep and hogs have
been drowned within the last two
days and residents have been forced
to remove to higher grounds. Hsr-

ley would reduce the price of these
products in this country. That such
would be the effect he declared is not
merely improbable, but ridiculous and
impossible"
Bachelor declared that there has
been a fall of about eight cents per
bushel in the price of wheat since the
reciprocity bill was introduced in con-
gress, and" he continues, IF mere
expectation of reciprocity depresses our
wheat, what would be the result of the
enactment Of the pending bill?
"While the price on our wheat has
fallen, that of Canadian wheat, as
shown in Winnipeg, has not fallen to
the same extent, owing to the expecta-
tions of Canadian wheat growers for
a better market in this country. Be-
fore the reciprocity bill was introduced
wheat was higher in Chicago than in
Winnipeg, but yesterday it was 2 3-4
cents higher in Winnipeg than in Chi
cago. Does not this furnish the clear
est possible proof that reciprocity will
reduce the price of our wheat and in
crease the price Of Canadian wheat?"

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-Presi'
dent Taft has repealed those portions
of the treaties made with Indian
tribes of Minnesota half a century
ago, prohibiting al traffic in intoxi-
cants in the Indian country. He
also sent to congress a special mes
sage urging similar action by that
body in these treaties by the provi-
sions of which he is not empowered
to repeal or modify.
I'm the years which have elapsed
since the making of these treaties"
he says in the message, conditions
have largely changed, the Indian pop
ulation having been reduced largely
while settlements have been made and
great cities like St. Paul and Mime
apolis have come to occupy portion
of what, at the date of the treaties
was denominated as Indian country.
Notwithstanding these facts this ter
ritory still remains subject to regula-
ton respecting traffic in liquor orig
inally imposed for the protection OF
the Indians.
"Such an anomalous condition Of
affairs" he continues, SHOULD no
longer continue and regulation of traf-
fic in liquors in these areas now al
most exclusively occupied by white
people should be left to them. In
these instances when treaty author
lied the president to repeal or modi.
fly it's provisions have exercised that
right. Some of the treaties, how
ever, provide that provisions referred
to shall continue and be in force until
otherwise provided by congress-"

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 17.-Continued
talk of annexation, kept alive by op-
position ournals today, is causing deep
desentment in Canada and, according
to some of the leading supporters
of the government, may jeopardize
the reciprocity measure now before
parliament. While the liberals have
accepted the message of Taft to Rep
resentative Mccall as the true senti-
ment of the Washington administra-
tion, the wave of feeling that has
been aroused in the dominion cannot
be ignored. 1t is understood that Sir
Wilfred Laurier early next week will
make statement which it is as
serted he will set at rest forever the
idea that annexation of Canada by
the United States is possible.
In some quarters the disavOwal of
Taft and Secretary Knox do not carry
conviction and opposition press is
carefully fostering the idea that they
are utterances Of adroit and clever
men working with an ulterior motive
of annexation which Clark and Ben
nett were too frank to conceal. The
bulk of Canadians do not know Clark
or Bennett or Knox and they are un-
able to form Independent Judgment
as to the value of their utterances.
1t is recognized that reciprocity is
popular throughout Canada and will
produce material results. But senti
mental feeling overshadows it and the
suggestion from the south that the
agreement is the first step toward
depriving Canada of autonomy is re-
sented.
