A near philosopher says "a man never works over time to make his wife happy which is doubtless cor rect It seems to be a masculine de- fusion that the wife always has the soft-snap iE this world: and too few men are really conscious of the debt they owe to faithful wives who have never asked for short hours or for a. large allowance. The short hour. man does not have short hour wife; and if he did he would not know how to make sat isfactory balances. If more men used some of their overtime to relieve the wife and to give her a part of the privileges they enjoy, life would be more worth living to both I have never wondered that some of the hard
 worsai wives with devout minds have formed the habit of looking toward sunset land at evening and hoping the Lord would come; or that in their weary moments they are caught ask ing Lord, how long ?"

BERRY SEASON AT HAND.
Hood River Crop Estimated at 75,-
600 Crates.


Hood River-The worlds attention to
the Hood River valley was first called
by the excellent strawberries it was
shipping. That was nearly 20 years
ago. Shipments have gone as far as
China and England, and have reached
those places in good condition. The
first shipment consisted of but few
crates, and was sent by the Davidson
Fruit company, of this city, now ship
pOrs in carload lots.
For several years past shipments of
strawberries from this city have to-
tailed from $4,000 to 100, 900 crates
each year, and as high as seven and
eight cars have been shipped in a
single day. Shipments from the val
ley this season, it is expected, will
amount to at least $4,000 crates
which will be little in excess of last
years shipments.
Strawberries raised in the United
States that come into competition with
these shipments are grown in Mis-
souri,, Arkansas and Colorado. Ber-
ries grown elsewhere are either mar
keted before the Hood River berries
are ripe or after the Hood River ber-
ries are off the market.
1t is expected that shipments will
go forward this year as early as May
20, and in view of the fact that the
heavy frosts in the Middle West have
cut down the berry crop for this year,
it is expected they will bring very
high price. The strawberry situation
in the East points to heavy crop, but
this does not affect the berries grown
in this section.
The strawberry fields in Hood River
have never been in better condition
than this year; vines and plants are in
very high state of vitality. Grow
ers are now busy cleaning their fields
and getting ready for picking.
There is but one problem connected
with strawberry growing in Hood
River that sometimes becomes serious
from a growers standpoint, and that
is the securing of competent and suffi-
cient help to pick and pack the crop,
III NlCW VI IllC 1dSG IllaI IllS OSIIlGS
are very perishable and must be
picked from the vines, packed and
marketed each day.
1t will require large number of
people to harvest this years crop, and
unless regiments of pickers and pack
ers come into the Hood River valley
from outside sections, the growers
will be unable to cope with the situa-
ton. The Indians from nearby reser-
vations constitute a large percentage
of those who come to Hood River to
pick berries, and are among the best
pickers.
Heavy losses have been experienced
as result of shortage of help. From
present indications there is a probabil-
ity that help will be scarce this year,
and growers are eager and anxious to
correspond with parties who are will
ing to take up the work this season.
This years crop should net the grow
ers approximately $3.50, 900.
All danger from frosts is now past
and large crop is assured.

PHONE RATES HIT.
Companies Cannot Charge Different
Rates for Same Service.

Washington, D. C. "A policy pur.
sued generally by telephone companies
received blow when the Interstate
Commerce commission, in a decision
made public today held that "as be-
tween subscribers to telephone SER
vice who are similarly situated, moth
ing but a difference in the service
rendered or the facilities furnished
can justify difference in the charges
eXacted.
The decision was in the case of Will
liam D. Shoemaker, of Drummond,
Md, against the Chesapeake & Poto-
mac Telephone company, the first tel
ephone case considered by the commits
sion since congress placed telephone
companies under the commission s
jurisdiction.
Shoemaker declined to sign a resi-
dence telephone contract presented be-
cause the charge demanded-the reg
ular Washington rate-was materially
higher than paid for the same service
by 27 neighbors in Drummond who
had contracted with the company when
it operated the now abandoned ex-
change at Drummond.

GREAT COMBINE
is HARD HIT
KILL STANDARD OIL
Huge Trust Is Declared Unlawful
By Supreme Court.
Judges of One Opinion - Govern
ment's Attack on Giant Monopoly
Upheld On Every Point.

Washington, May 16.-The Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey and
its subsidiary corporations were de-
clared by the Supreme court of the
United States to be conspiracy and
combination in restraint of trade.
1t was otherwise held to be mon
opolizing interstate commerce in viola
tion of the Sherman anti trust law.
The dissolution of the combination
was ordered to take place within six
months.
Thus ended the tremendous struggle
on the part of the government to put
down, by authority of law, a combin-
alton which is held to be a menace to
the industrial and economic advance
ment of the entire country.
At the same time the court inter
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit its application to acts of
undue" restraint of trade and not
"every" restraint of trade.
1t was on this point that the only
discordant note was heard in the
court Justice Harlan dissented,
holding that cases already decided by
the court had determined-once for all
that the word undue" or "unrea-
sonable" or similar words were not in
the statute. He declared that the
reasoning of the court in arriving at
its finding was, in effect, legislation
which belonged in every instance to
congress and not to the courts.
Ever since the decree in this case in
the lower court, the United States
Circuit court for the eastern district
of Missouri, was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business
world" that the law would be modified
so as not to interfere with what was
designated as honest business. To-
night that section of the opinion call
ing for the use of the rule of reason in
applying the law is regarded in many
quarters as an answer to the prayers
of the business world.
The defendants named besides the
Standard Oil and it's subsidiary cor
porations are: John D. Rockefeller,
William Rockefeller, Henry M. Flag
Ter, John D. Archbold, Oliver H.
Payne, Henry H. Rogers, and Charles
M. Pratt.

SECRETARY OF WAR
DICKINSON RESIGNS

Washington, May 13.-Secretary of
War'Jacob M. Dickinson, of Tennes-
see, the Democratic member of Presi-
dent Taft's cabinet, has resigned.
Henry L. Stimson, of New York, re-
Gently defeated Republican candidate
for governor of that state, has been
given the portfolio. This announce
ment was made from the White House
tonight.
In the letters exchanged between
the president and Mr.. Dickinson no
reason other than that of pressing pri-
vate affairs is given for the secre-
tary's retirement. The reasons given
unofficially in official circles are the
embarrassment caused by the fact
that Mr.. Dickinson is a Democrat in a
Republican cabinet; that friction has
occurred between him and Secretary
Knox over Mexican affairs.

ALLEGED PLoTTER BANIsHED.
Orozco Spurns Bribe and Peace Me-
gotIations Are Resumed.

Juarez, Mexico, May 16.-Resump-
tion of peace negotiations under so
favorable auspices as to bring pros
pect of an end to the war within "a
hours, and the banishment from Juarez
of Senior Esquival Obregon, who is
suspected by Madero of directing a
plot to break up the rebel ranks by
offering bribes to his generals to in
duce them to quit the Madero stand
ards, were the important develop
ments today in the Mexican situation.
Senior Obregon, who was formerly
one of the go-betweens in the peace
negotiations, was informed by Provis-
ional President Madero that the revo-
lutionists did not desire his presence
in this city. 1t was said at the insur-
recto headquarters that Obregon offer
ed large bribe to General Orozco,
but that the latter Indignantly refused
it. Obregon denies the story.
In the meantime, peace negotia-
tions, unofficial but auspicious, had
been resumed between the Federal
and the insurrectos, and the
now are that definite un-
derstanding will be reached within "a
hours.

CONVICTS FIGHT FIRE.
Oregon State Insane Asylum Dam
aged BY Blaze.

Salem, Ore, May 13.-Fire that
partially destroyed the south wing of
the asylum for the insane last night,
in which $50 women patients were
confined, was extinguished only after
a desperate fight by the internes and
local department, assisted by convicts
from the penitentiary. All of the pa
tients were rescued without injury and
an hour later were sleeping peacefully
on improvised beds in other wards.
Origin of the fire is not known, but
probably it was due to defective cleo
trio wiring. The loss is estimated at
SIS, 900.
Panic seized the patients when
smoke and flames burst out in the
halls and they shook the bars of their
windows frantically, shouting fire. P"
Attendants and physicians rushed in
and in many cases women had to be
carried out bodily Had it not been
for patent locks on the doors it is
probable that scores of helpless pa
tients would have perised either from
flames or the dense smoke that filled
the wing.

Fourth for Pleasure Only.

Pendleton-This place will have a
Fourth of July celebration and most of
the program will be given at Round
up Park. 1t will not be a mercenary
affair, but will be intended for COM
fort and the entertainment of people,
especially of those who come to the
city from over the county. This was
the unanimous decision at a meeting
of the Commercial club recently. The
committee that canvassed the senti-
ment of the business men was headed
by Mayor E. j. Murphy, and it was
favorable to a celebration elsewhere
than on the streets.

Nicaraguan President Flies.

Colon, May 11.-Defnite informa-
tion reached here today that Juan
Estrada, president of Nicaragua, has
resigned the presidency, and rumors
say he is a fugitive, vainly seeking
escape from his own country. A pro-
clamation announcing the government
al change was issued at Granada, the
capital Of the department of Granada,
Vice President Diaz was designated
by Estrada as his successor. The res
ignation came as the result of a clash
with General Luis Mena, minister of
war in his cabinet.

TRADE is RESUMED.
But No Arms or Ammunitions Allowed
to Cross Border.

Washington, MAY Legitimate
commerce between the United States
and the border towns of Mexico, now
held by the insurrectos, will not be in
terfered with by the United States.
The problem of international law
arising from the border situation was
discussed by the cabinet today, and
the general policy was laid down that
there would be no interruption of
trade which did not violate the neu-
trality of the United States.
Administration officials decline to
discuss hypothetical questions relating
to the expectation of arms and am
munition. While there will be free
dom of ordinary commerce, it was
clear it will be the policy to examine
every shipment, to see that it does not
offend the neutral position of this
country.
The State department issued an Off
cial statement outlining the policy,
but saying this governments course
had no bearing on the question of the
recognition of the belligerency of the
insurrectos.

DIAZ STILL ON JOB.
But Willing to Word Resignation as
Madero Asks.

Mexico City, May 13. = General
Diaz will not leave the presidency
while the country is in its present
state of unrest. He stands ready to
state in more explicit terms than
those contained in his recent manifes-
to, if necessary, his attitude with ref
erence to his retirement. He has de-
manded to know from his opponents
the terms in which they expect him to
announce his willingness to resign and
is waiting reply from them.
The presidents declaration last
Sunday was made in good faith and
with the desire to serve the interests
of his country. There was no subter-
fuge in his declaration. He meant
what he said-that he would lay down
the reins of government when he could
do so without danger of anarchy or
chaos following his action.

Navy Tries GYroscopes.

New York-The Navy department is
installing on one of the feetest vessels
of the eighth division one of Elmer A.
Sperry's gyroscope compasses for the
purpose of giving the invention an ex-
haustive trial. The department also
is preparing to install on one of the
torpedo boat destroyers one of the
Sperry heavy gyroscopes for the pur-
pose of testing the ability of the in
vention to keep the boat on an even
keel. The gyroscopic compass weighs
only a few pounds. The gyroscope
that is expected to keep vessels stable
on the high seas weighs several tons.
