INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
MilIworksrs and Businessmen Say !
Strike VIII BE Tolerated.

MilIworkers and Businessmen Say No
Strike Win Be Tolerated.
Raymond - The first effect Of the
decision Of the mill men to close their
mills indefinitely was felt Thursday
when not q mill was started. The
saloons were closed by order Of the
mayor, to remain closed indefinitely,
and the usual hustling city Of Ray
mond is quiet - it has never been
before. Three hundred business men
and 200 mill workers held meetings,
and their decision is that no strike
will be tolerated in Raymond. Those
men who want to work are going to
be given ample protection, not only
while they are at work, but in their
homes and on the streets.
A committee appointed by the busi-
ness men to meet with committee Of
strikers were informed that no de-
mands had been made nor would be
made until the strikers on Grays Har-
Dor had been heard from. They said
this was sympathetic strike, but
none of them seemed to know why a
strike had been called. No disturb
ances have been reported.

LORIbIER IS INDICATED
BY SPECIAL COMMITTEE

Washington, D. C. Senator Lori.
mer. of Illinois, won vindication al
the hands of the special committee Of
eight senators, who had finished a sec
ond investigation Of his election BY
the Illinois legislature in 1909.
The committee, by votes Of s to 8
on all vital points, completely exoner-
ated him of any knowledge of legis-
lative corruption.
Edward Hines, the millionaire lum-
herman, referred to in the investiga-
tjc2 as "ths nan who put Lorimel
over, " also got vindication by the
committee. 1t had been charged that
Hines raised a corruption fund OF
500, 900 to elect Lorimer to the sen.
ate. The majority repudiated that
and adopted resolution that the evi.
deEce had shown that he did not raise
or contribute any sum improperly.

OIL STOCK LIKE ROCKET.
Standard Of Kentucky Goes Up to
$1,000 for Time.

New York-Another outgrowth OF
the recent dissolution Of the Standard
Oil company of New jersey into 30
odd constituents was the rise OF shares
Of the Standard Oil Of Kentucky to
the unprecedented price of $1,000 q
share.
The stock closed Friday at $3.50
bid, opened Saturday at 500, ad-
vanced on sales Of some so to SO
shares to 5000 and then in small lots,
aggregating perhaps 80 shares, rose
to $1,000.
From that figure it dropped abrupt
" in the early afternoon to $3.50, with
the last actual sales at 5000.
The stocks low price Friday was
$440 and q few days ago it was offer
ed at $3.50. For some unexplained
reason, short interest had been ere.
ated at around $500 and some Of the
shorts were run in when the stock
scared up to $1,000.
It is believed that the advance rep.
resents something lmore tangible than
a mere squeeze. The company now
has capital Of 81, 000, 900, the differ.
ence going to shareholders as stock
''bonus. - Aside from small float
ing supply, practically all the shares
are owned by interests identified with
one or more of the old Standard Oil
company.

Disposition Shown to Accept Terms
and Return to Work.
London-The coal situation shows
decided Improvement. The minimum
wage bill passed all stages in both
houses and only awaits the royal as
sent.
Although reservations Of work were
less numerous than expected, the en-
gineers deciding to await for the re-
suit of the ballot before returning to
the collieries, reports from every dis
trict confirm their willingness to ac-
cept the wage bill and terminate the
strike.
The prompt dispatch Of troops to
the scene of outbreaks, coupled with
the advice of the leaders to refrain
from violence, had q wholesome effect.
Riotous strikers were in a small mi
nority. In Lanarkshire about 1000
men entered the pit, this being the
most extensive resumption Of the
work.

URGES NEW COTTON TARIFF.
Commission Report Shows Duties Are
Excessively tlieh.

Commission Report Shows Duties Are
Excsssiveiy High.
Washington. D. c. President Tafi
has transmitted to coneless tie t1rid
boards report on the cotten schedule,
The president recommends that the
cotton section Of the tariff Law, BE-
taken up ct once for revision.
The report is exhaustive, technical
and detailed.
The presidents message il I com
parative summary Of the boards find
ings. As in its report on the wooden
schedule and the pulp and paper sched-
ule, the board makes no recommends
tions, and suggests no duties in its re-
view Of q very complex subject. The
president says he bases his recon-
mendations on the declaration Of the
platform on which he was elected
that q reasonable protective tariff
should be adjusted to the difference in
cost Of production at home and abroad.
"The report Of the board shows the
difficulty of stating, in general terms,
differences in costs of production for
great variety Of cotton manufac-
lures" the president wrote. s'The
differences vary widely according to
the character Of the particular fabric.
"The report shows that the cost Of
spinning cotton yarn in this county ia
greater than in the leading competing
country. In the case Of ordinary warp
and filling yarns, forming the bulk Of
the production Of the domestic indus
try, the foreign cost Of turning cotton
into yarn is shown to be about 20 per
cent Of the domestic COST
The duty on. these yarns is two OF
three times in excess Of the difference
in cost Of production. On some highly
specialized yarns and on yarns of the
highest count - that is. Of greatest
fineness the duty in some cases about
equalizes the difference in conversion
costs.
"The report further shows that in
the case of a large variety Of fabrics
which permit of the use of many
looms per weaver, the prices at which
goods are sold by the American manu-
facturer are as low as the prices
charged by the foreign manufacturer in
his own market, and in many cases
lower.
"Undef the existing system Of dis
tribution, slight reduction Of duties
would, in some cases, materially re-
duce the price to the consumer, while
in other cases large q reduction Of
the duties would not change the price
to the American consumer at all"
Figures are presented to show that
altogether labor costs in the cotton in
dustry are in many cases lower in the
United States than in England, yet
the actual hourly earnings in this
country are in most Of the principal
occupations much greater.

Colville, has received complaint
from business men along the street
that English sparrows, which APP
peared here about three years ago, are
becoming b nuisance. They build
their nests in the blocks and alight in
numbers along the telegraph wires
over the pavements. The matter will
be referred to the city council. A
half dozen Of these birds came about
three years ago. Now there are
thousands feeding in the streets.
Tame pigeons that were wont to feed
in the business thoroughfares have
been driven off by the sparrows and
have gone to the remote parts Of town
for forage.

CRANBERRY Bocs FEw.
Only Ono Large Genuine Tract on
Pacific Coast.

Only Ono Large Genuine Tract on
Pacific Coast.
What is said to be the largest single
tract Of cranberry bog land under
cultivation in the world consists Of
600 acres, and is located Ia Pacific
county, Washington. The land is
owned by 81. N. Williams, Of Sea-
view, Wash, and is not for sale at
any price.
Il Mr.. Williams was virtually raised
in the cranberry business, as when he
was 10 years old he picked berries for
his father in the Cape Cod district on
grounds that are still bearing and still
owned by Mr.. Williams family.
There is very little land in the
world that is adapted to the growing
of cranberries," said Mr.. Williams.
cit needs conditions peculiar to itself.
The land must be what is generally
known as bog, Of certain formation
closely allied to coal, but which stop
ped in the process before reaching the
coal state. 1t owes its existence to
some freak Of nature in the past ages.
On this kind Ct land the cranberry
grows naturally.
AS result Of long study Of the
berry a much finer product is propa-
gated than the wild growth. The
crop is absolutely certain when proper
care and intelligent attention are
given the industry. With the excep-
ton of one other tract, and my place,
there are no other genuine cranberry
bog lands on the Pacific Coast that l
know of, and the few on the Atlantic
Coast are held at prices that are pro-
hibitive. / notice that many tracts
are offered for sale under the SUPPOSE
tion that they are genuine cranberry
Dogs. These lands would be worth 10
times the prices quoted if the soil was
as represented. I"
