ENGLISH ROADS ARE PAR-ExCELLENCE
SAYS MANCHESTER AUTOMOBILE MAN
Roads Are Practically Dustless and Years
Auto Tax Spent on Roads

Nowhere are there roads better
than on the British Isles. according
TO p. L ID. Perry, manager OF the
Manchester factory OF the Ford Motor
company, who has been spending a
few weeks at the Detroit factory.
The good roads OF England and
Scotland are famed the world over, =
declared Mr.. Perry IN ireland the
roads are not so good. but there they
are better than those In the United
States.
Through long and persistent work
the unexcelled roads on the isles have
been laid. Each separate community
is responsible for it's own roads and
each takes pride in their condition.
"A recent help to good road main
tenance is the spending OF the entire
automobile tax on the roads. The

costs the owner OF a Ford $50 per
year. There also is q tax Of .06 per
gallon on gasoline. With the money
collected from these taxes and some
additional appropriations there never

ment treasury.
The tax Is levied on the theory
that automobiles are the hardest on
the roads and therefore should pay
the most toward their upkeep.
English roads are practically dust,
less and have been so for several
years. AS rapidly as possible tarred
macadam surfacing is being laid. You
can travel all day on one OF these
roads without looking like helper

journey"

Our TinieSt Bird

There is an interesting article by
Ernest Harold Baynes on the hum
ming bird in the August issue of Sub
urban Life magazine. In describing 1t
he says "A trif1e over three inches
in length, the ruby-throated humming
bird is the smallest feathered crea-
ture in eastern North America. There
is no other bird east of the Missis-
sippi river with which 1t can be con-
fused, for it is the only species OF
humming bird in the whole of this
region. This may be doubted by those
who do not know that the plumage of
the adult male bird is quite different
from that of the female and I'M
mature hummers, and by those who
are unfamiliar with sphinx and hum
ming bird moths. A young farmer
friend of mine, who is always on the
lookout for anything which he thinks
will interest me, ran up to my house
one evening to tell me that ne had
caught a humming bird for me- He
had seen it probing the flowers in his
garden, he said. and had caught it
under his hat, where he had left 1t
on the lawn, fearing that he might
hurt it If he attempted to take it in
his hand. went with him, slipped
my hand gently under the hat, and
took Out--a humming- bird moth, an
insect which he had always believed
to be a humming bird"

UNIQUE wager IS
MADE BY DOCTOR
Will Start From Maine and Must
Earn $40 Per Day to Win
$4,000

Unique among the wagers that have
been made involving automobile travel
and globe trotting is an agreement
which DR.. H. Benton Young, of Tren-
ton, N. j., and William b. kumpf, of
Mount Holly,N. j., have attempted to
fulfill with the certainty that one or
the other will win $4,000.
Starting with a high powered auto
mobile and only IS bill in his pock-
ct. DIR. Young has begun a trip from
Maine to California. Under the con-
ditions of the wager, he must cross
the continent financing his trip by
his own earnings en- route, without
recourse to his bank account, to his
friends or to the practice of his
profession. In every town where he
stops as long as two hours. the doc
tor must earn $40 by legitimate
methods.
The bet grew out of discussion
as to the ability of some people to
travel extensively and at the same
time earn good incomes. Mr.. Kumpf
ridiculed an assertion of DIR. Young
that he could cross the country.
e..rning $40 In every place he
stopped, and the young physician was
promptly challenged to do 50. Dir.
Young thereupon prepared his CO.
lumbia roadster and started for
Maine, there to begin run that will
mean 81 a mile If he wins.

creased wages is not that he produces
more and so is worth more, but that
he Is in a position to command more
U;.skilled labor is cheap Skilled la
Dor is high. Labor was never SO
free to move as now. From 200, 200
to 10000 Italian laborers move from
Italy to Argentina in winter and back
in summer to FAKE advantage of the
summers which occur in different
parts of the year in the two places
During the first part of the panic
year Of 1907 800, 900 steerage pass
engers returned from America to Eu-
rope.
Organization OF Labor
Another factor in the rise of wages
Is the organization of labor which has
tended to create a monopoly of la
Dor within certain groups and so TO
force wages up. However, organiza-
ton with all it's benefits to labor
would not have accomplished the re-
suit without the aid of the economic
forces above referred to. BY these
means labor has been able to claim
a larger ard larger share of the So
cial product. This does not mean
that it is getting more than ever. 1t
Is no answer to the above facts to
point to the enormous fortunes Of a
Rockefeller or Carnegie. The con-
centration of wealth is one thing, the
sharing of labor and capital in the
total product Of industry is quite an
ot.er The injustice done in the
amassing of these great fortunes IL
done chiefly to competing capital and
to the consumer and not to labor as
such. The concentration of capital
has benefited the laborer by increas-
ing efficiency. 1t makes no difference
to labor as labor whether 10 per cent
is paid to 1000 men for the use of
capital or to one man, so long as the
capital Is at work. aa.4es
These then are the factors which
have tended to increase wages during
the last 200 years. The exploitation
of new continents and the increased
efficiency of capital, giving rise to a
demand for labor. The increasing ef-
ficiency and mobility of labor together
with the organization of labor giving
the laborer greater and greater COM
mand of his labor.
Demand has been on the increase
and supply has come under increasing
control.

RICHEY & GILBERT CO.
IS MADE DEFENDANT
y. Howard Wright Files Complaint
in Superior Court for an
Accounting

Suit to recover $3,232.99 alleged to
se still due and owing on the fruit
crop of 1910 was instituted Thursday
against Richey & Gilbert company by
j. Howard Wright through H. J
Snively, attorney for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff alleges in his COM
plant that he delivered to the Richey
& Gilbert company quantity of APP
plas at different dates through the
season of 1910; that these apples were
to be sold through the INSTRUMENTAL
ity of the defendant, who was to re-
ceive 10 per cent commission
The further allegation is made that
part payment was Advanced on each
shipment aof' the fruit by the defend
ant but that no final settlement has
been made by Richey g. Gilbert COM
pany, although two wears have elapsed
since the transaction. II
The account Upon which suit is
brought includes the accounts Of the
Wright Fruit company and of l.. +.
Wright both Of which were assigned
to j. Howard Wright.
Commission House Fails
The filing Of this suit recalls the
failure of the H. Woods company a
fruit commission firm Of Chicago,
shortly after the close Of the fruit
shipping esason of 1910. 1t is said
that the failure of that firm cost the
fruit growers of the Yakima valley
between $4,000 and $50. 1000.
The point then raised, and which
will now be threshed out in court, is
whether the Richey & Gilbert com
pany was acting as the agent of j.
Howard Wright and others, or wheth-
er that company, was the purchaser
of the fruit and will have to.pay the
North Yakima {. o. b. price therefore,
looking to the H. Woods company for
reimbursement.

THEY WILL vEN EN-
ALL WITH SUSPICION
Candidates to Be Carefully Sifted
by Republicans and Bull
~ Moosers

PORTLAND. Aug. 23.-Candidates
who got through the republican pri-
maries last spring with whole hides
may now be seen, ladies and gentle
men, seated upon the horns of a di-
lemma. They are going to be probed
and submitted to microscopical analy-
sis, assayed given the acid test and
CLASSIFIED from both sides of the po-
litical fence.
The regular republicans or Taftites
are loading their bIunderbusses with
buckshot and the insurgent Roose-
veltian progressives are doing the
same with the harmless candidates as
their quarry. Both squads of hunts
men, when they tree willing Office
shoot, I'll come down and they see
into which bag he falls.
The plan of the bull moose crowd
as has already been outlined is to find
out how many of the republican can
didates from the top to the bottom
of. the list are in favor of Roosevelt.
and only such candidates as are fer
ninst Will be, opposed at the coming
election. To get the authentic infor-
nation, first hand, the progressives
have authorized their chairman to
name committee of ten to conduct
the investigation and make a report
on each individual candidate, be he
big or little This committee will be
named in few days.
Following this plan as a good sug-
gestion, the republican county CEN
trail committee had a meeting last
night and voted to authorize Chair
man Robert C. Wright to name a
committee of three to separate the
sheep and goats among the candidates
who won out in the primaries. This
committee of Taft men will be In
structed to tag the backsliders in
other words those who have taken up
the Roosevelt banner. In this class
they have already pigeonholed Con-
gresham Lafferty and Dan Kellaher,
candidate for state senator, and they
will go right down the line until they
have placed each and every aspirant
for republican honors in his proper
category.
Not only that. but the Taft COM
mittee Of investigation liz to be given
power to recommend suitable punish
ment for the backsliders, but just
what 1t is to be was not indicated at
last nights meeting. In order to con-
tinue in the good graces of the re-
dates must pledge themselves to sup
port not only Taft for president, but
the whole ticket from soup to nuts.

The British patent office rarely ex-

prove that he suffered serious losses
through his inability to finance and

When the matter comes up for de-

FEDERAL BUREAU
after FRUIT PEST
Department of Agriculture to Es.
tablish an Inspection Ser
vice in Hawaii

Acting quickly on the instructions
OF the national congress embodied IN
the bill recently passed by both houses
providing an appropriation of $685.
600 to enable the federal government
to assist the fruit interests of Cali
fornia to prevent the importation of
the Mediterranean fly into this state,
the Department of Agriculture is
sending Charles Lester Marlatt, as
sistant chief entomologist for the de-
partment to Hawaii to inspect condi-
tons there He will sail for Homo
lulu on the first outgoing steamer and
Immediately start to work on his task.
While in the islands Mariatt will
make arrangements to take over the
Hawaiian inspection service to pre-
vent the importation of the pest TO
California, or perfect the organiza-
ton of I. federal inspection service to
cooperate with the territorial author
tiles.
Marlatt arrived in San Francisco
yesterday and is stopping at the Fair
mount hotel.
He said last night that the De-
partnent of Agriculture was anxious
and determined to establish an in
spection service over all fruits leav-
ing the islands, to guard against the
expectation of the dreaded Mediter-
ranean fly or any other fruit pests,
and that this service would be made
as effective and thorough as the funds
allowed for the purpose by congress
would permit. Marlatt thinks that
he will be able to hit upon a feasible
plan OF uniting the efforts of the ma
tional government with the fruit in
spection service already in operation,
and which is provided at the expense
of the California fruit growers. If
this tentative proposal proves unac-
ceptable, he will organize a separate
federal bureau.
The selection Of Maratt for this
work has given general satisfaction
among the California fruit growers, as
he is acknowledged to be one of the
highest authorities on entomology in
the government service. He has been
with the Department of Agriculture
since 1889. and in 1901-02 made an
chronological trip for the depart
ment to Japan, China and Java and
other islands in the Malay Archipel-
ago. -

MUST REVISE
ESTIMATES
ST.. Walden of ZiIiah Has 1000
More Peach Boxes Than
He Can FIJI
GROWERS SHOULD HOLD
FOR 40 CENTS PER BOX
Peaches Not So Large ~ in Other
Seasons, But Are Highly Color
ed, First Class in Quality and
Splendid for Shipping

From developments OF the past few
days, eliminating yesterday, it is safe
TO assert that the peach crop of the
Yakima valley viii only be about two
thirds of what 1t was thought 1t would
be six weeks ago. Based upon recent
information the growers of peaches
ARE advised to hold for at least 40c
per box during the coming week, and
if they do, that price can be obtained
The demand for peaches is good and
they are rapidly going into consump-
tion in regions where heretofore the
peaches of the Yakima valley have
had no market. Montana is absorbing
great quantities of the fruit and so is
the entire region west of the noun
tains.
One fact in connection with the
matter is that S. F. Walden of Zillah
now estimates that ne has purchased
1000 boxes more than he will have
peaches to fill, having overestimated
his crop.
Harry Pones. cashier of the wap-
alto bank, is another to add his testi-
mony regarding the overestimation OF
the number of boxes of peaches that
he would have in his orchards near
that city.
The peaches are of a high color,
first class in quality and in splendid
shape to ship but the decrease in
the number of boxes to be shipped
Is largely on account of the size. For
some reason or other the peaches are
not so large as usual The estimated
shortage Is not because; the peaches
are mot being picked. for that is not
the case.
Both pears and peaches are being
absorbed rapidly in the, different. mar
kets, so all that is necessary is FOR
the growers to staraifors a fair. price.
the 'supppsition now is { that. first
predictions in regard to the peach
crop viii have to be pruned one
