PRODUCE

In The Herald today viii be found a
very able article by William Doherty,
assistant general manager of the Frisco
Gulf Coast lines. IN this article Dir.
Dohcrty outlines Il plan by which nc
hopes to help all growers and shippers
IF produce throughout the country, II
specially those of the gulf coast conn
try.
Mr. Doherty has the faculty OF clear
statement, and his plans. III 50 far as
he has outlined it is not hard TO under
stand. 1t must also be admitted that 1t
looks good on the face Of it. Whether
it will work out III practice. and achieve
the rood intended. remains to be seen-
If the government can be persuaded to
undertake it. He wishes the department
Of agriculture to superintend the ship
ping Of produce by inspecting each car
load of it ut the points OF shipment and
destination. so that it's condition mhen
il arrives in he market can be compared
with its condition when it started to
market.
II is quite easy to see that this ar
rangemcnt would make for the protcc-
tion of the shipper; and it would work
no unfairreSs to the consigncc at the
market end Of the route. The scheme
involves a good deal of active supervi-
sion on the part of goaernment as TO the
consignee's side of the deal.
Mr.. Doherty's position is that if il is
proper for the department to lend its
aid in forwarding production it is also
proper for it to aid the producer i'll get
ting his stuff into market IN good shape.
1t is not probable that truck and fruit
growers will quarrel with the plan. How
il will impress the statesmen ut Wash
ington is another question. The claim
will perhaps be made that the idea say
ors overmuch Of paternaliSm. 1t will
also be said that the mantle of govern
ment supervision should i've made broat
enough to cover all other shipments he
sides fruit and vegetables.
However. The Herald is not wishing
The truck and fruit farmers any bad
lucn. Mr.. Doherty'S plan. if carried out
| should be of great advantage to them.

In the matter of the reorganization OF

the thing is finally brought to pass.
Just wait and see. 1t wont be lladly

The venerable DR.. Elliot hopes that

onlv fit men to Office. The idea is a good
one and il will work out beautifully III
practice. Let the president begin by APP
pointing all the capable Democrats, and
wind up, if necessary, win any capable
republicans he may be able to find for
any Job that may be left equal to their
CAPACITY. In that way he will secure
an efficient administration and give sat

THE STUDENTS AND THE SUI
FRAGETTES.

RiOtOus students of the University OF
Glasgow attacked the headquarters OF
the WOmen's Social and Political Union
recently and wrecked the offices. They
smashed the front windows and wrecked
the interior, destroying everything they
could lay their hands OH. Looks bad,
truly. Bad, not so much as a symptom
of the times in which we live, but as an
omen of times to come. The young men
who had part in this riot were doubtless
men OF some social standing. Their
graduation from one of the world )
great universities would entitle them TO
the social standing Of gentlemen. The
gentleman, i'll all the standard uses OF
the term, is peculiarly the product of the
Christian ages. One Of his distinguish
ing characteristics, a trait that was OF
the very essence of his title, was unfail-
ing respect and courtesy in his treat
ment of wOmen-Of all women, high or
low, rich or poor.
Whence then the departure Of these
Young gentlemen from the traditions Of
their caste! n
The, answer Is not 1af 10 seek. IL ls
to be read every day i'll the news reports
from England. Nothing will be respected
-lenc in this world after il ceases to be
worthy Of respect. a very ancient, and
very solemn function of the university
had been rudely, coarsely and violently
interrupted by il band of women calling
themselves s~uffragcttes. The traditional
reverence and respect for women is now
and ALWAYS has been grounded in the
traditional grace and essential woman
illness of w%OmanhOod. The reverence
cannot in the nature OF things survive
that to which it is related rs super
structure to foundation.
The Glasgow students are to blame.
Nevertheless their conduct is a prophecy
Of what we may expect in the years to
come. Female ruflianism is an unlOvely
thing. In time it will beget counter rut-
fanism in all who are the victims of 1t
Ii NAV be well for the militant Suffra
Cettes to reflect that when it comes to a
war with brickbats. if men are ever pro
voked to meet violence with violence
women will be outclassed. The other
day i'm an English court Il woman took
off her shoes and threw them at the
Judge. She missed with both shoes. One
shudders to think what might have hap
pened if the Judge had entered into the
argument with his shoes.

Il. Lewis of Echo is also to enter the

Mr.. Waterman is in the city today

MANY ARE OUT FOR COMMISSIONERS JOB
Friends Want Manuel Fried
ley to Enter Race For
Democrats

If the efforts of his friends, of all
political faiths, are successful, Man
uel Friedley, one of the best known
farmers in Umatilla county. will en-
ter the race to supplant Horace Wal
ker as a member of the county court
While in the city today and for sew
eral weeks past his friends have
been urging him to circulate petiti-
ons in order that his name may be
placed before the people as a candi-
date for the office of commissioner
Though seriously considering entrance
into the contest, Mr.. .Friedley has not
yet made up his mind definitely, but
his friends expect to see him an an
nounced candidate soon.
BY politics, Mr.. Friedley is demo-
crat, but it is known that a number
of influential republicans are among
the most insistent of those urging
him into the race. They point ou
that his long residence in the county
his heavy property interests and his
unquestioned public spirit qualify hin
to seek the office. He is a farmer Of
the Juniper country and is at presen
member of the county school booard
There is but one vacancy in tn,
county court this year, Judge Malon
ey and Commissioner Cockburn hold
ing over. Commissioner Walker, wh'
has held his present position 70
three terms, has already filed his de
claration of intention to seek renom
ination from the republicans.

BASKETBALL TEAM
TO MAKE A TOUR

Seeking other fields to conquer, the
members of the Pendleton high school
basketball team will leave tomorrow
on an invasion of Union county and
before they return they will encounter
the three foremost teams of that sec
ton of eastern Oregon. Tomorrow
night they will clash with the crack
NJ. I. a. team of La Grande, on Fri
day night they will play the La
Grande high school team and on Sat
urday night will be pitted against
the Union high school quintet.
The local players claim the cham
pionship of eastern Oregon because
of the great record they have made
during the season. The games on
their tour will. however have con-
siderable bearing on this claim and
it is with the intention of strengthen
ing it that the boys are starting on
the trip.
Besides the regular team, consist
ing of Captain Cliff Jordan, Manager
Clayton Strain, Chester Fee, Claude
Hampton and Houser, Jack Mcdonald
and Cecil Hampton will make the
trip as substitutes while Prof. Asbahr
will probably so along as faculty
member and referee.

ance the la Granude observer dwells
editorially upon the o. A. c. boys and
pays them and their program some
high compliments. 1t praised the

Engineer Hopson Gives Substance OF
Report-Ask for Irrigation of 3O,'

That the West Extension of the
Umatilla irrigation project is to be
carried out by the government along
lines recommended by the Pendleton
Commercial club at it's meeting early
in December and which policy was
advocated by the East Oregonian is
certain If President Taft but gives his
approval to the report of the engi-
neerng board that is now on file in
Washington.
That it is quite probable the pres
ident will approve the report of the
board and order the project under
taken seems clear from the follow
ing telegram which appeared in the
Portland Journal last evening:

Portland. Feb. 2t.-Upon telegraph
g. permission from the secretary of
the interior, Supervising Engineer
Hopson of the federal reclamation
service, announced before the Oregon
Irrigation congress today the sub
stance of the favorable report of the
board which investigated the West
Extension of the Umatilla project
near Hermiston. 1t favors construc-
ton of the project along lines which
solves the much veXed problem how
to give Stanfield home owners assur-
ances that their land will be salts
factorily drained. 1t promises peo-
pie on the upper reaches of the UNA
tilla and its tributaries an abundance
of water for irrigation. Hopson said
Il would satisfy all protestants. Hop
son said he didn't know what action
the government will take. AS a. re-
suit of the report the congress this
afternoon will probably adopt reso-
luton favoring the west extension
which will cost three millions and ir-
rigate 10000 acres.

Thousands Made Homeless
by Flames Which Sweep
Fifty-seven Blocks.
ENTIRE CITY THREATENED
Blaze Starting in Hotel Famed by
High Wind for Twelve Hours and
is Finally Controlled by Use of Dy-
Mantle.

Houston, Texas Feb. 21.-Damage
that will aggregate from $4,000, 900
to $1O,0OO,OOO. and thousands of
homeless people, are the result to-
day of a terrific conflagration which
started near the Southern Pacific de-
pot last night and burned until to-
day, sweeping an area seven blocks
wide by twenty blocks long, compris-
ing residences and number of cotton
congresses, lumber yards. etc.
Fifty-seven blocks in all, were de-
vastated. The fire started in hotel.
The fire was gotten under control at
noon, after two blocks had been dy-
namited by the fire department
which was aided by thousands of
citizens after it was realized that the
fire was beating the department One
hour previous TO that time all hope
Of controlling the flames until they
should burn themselves out had been
practically abandoned and it was
thought that much larger portion
of the city was doomed.
The heaviest individual losers are
McFadden and Cleveland, cotton
compressors and the z d. Harrell
Lumber company, whose plant was
totally destroyed. More than sixty
thousand bales of cotton was burned,
entailing c loss To Gotten dealers
alone of S3,000,0O0.
The fire was famed by a thirty
five miles an hour wind, which sent
fire brands high in the air and drop
ping them on the roofs of houses
every citizen on the dangerous side OF
many blocks distant. To practically
the fire, is due credit for no more Sc
rious fires starting, as they all took
stations on top of the buildings and
beat out the fire brands with wet
blankets when they fell
Many churches, dwelling houses,
school buildings and small business
houses were totally destroyed.
The thousands made homeless by
the flames are huddled in the parks
about the city, and wide movement
for their relief has already been
started by the city and various or
ganiZations.

REPORT IS PLEASING
TO EXTENSION MEN

Was Followed by Engi-
neering Board.

Pendleton people and Hermiston-
ians who were in the brigade that
worked for the West Extension are
rejoicing today over the receipt of
the news regarding the report of the
engineering board. They assert it is
exactly what they want and are now
hoping the president will order the
project built.
Hcrmiston Is Glad.
In a phone interview this afternoon
George Upthegrove, secretary of the
Umatilla River Waterusers' associa-
tion, said sentiment at Hermiston is
very favorable to the report. 'It
sounds good to me and 1 see nothing
wrong with it," declared Upthegrove.
Others at Hermiston take the same
view for they have long been strong
hackers of the West Extension.
Smythc Feels Gratified.
Dan P. Smythe, president of the
Pendleton commercial club and who
presided at the meeting when the sub
ject was under consideration by the
local organization, said:
81 feel much gratified over the re-
port. for the engineers have taken the
same view of the subject as did the
Commercial club. We favored the
West Extension but wanted 1t carried
out in such a manner as not to in
terfere with the rights of the upper
river people. / hope the project will
be built in accordance with this plan"
"Could Not BE Better.

for and could not well be any bet
ter,v declared DIR. c. ]. Smith, who
was chairman of the original COM
mittee that worked for the extension
and was much in the fray while the
recent controversy was on over the
extension. 81 am very pleased over
the report. 1t is now entirely up to
the secretary of the interior and to
the president"

torney and who was an effective
champion of the extension. also ex-
presses cheerfullness over the report.
mo one was welded to any partic-
ular plan and I am glad to know the
board has reported favorably," says
he. "The next thing is to get the
work done. l think that everybody
interested in the extension will be
highly pleased with the report, espe-
cially If the recommendations are but
carried out"
