of a final decision upon the sugar

a measure modelled in accord with
the ideas of President Wilson, with
wool. meats and many other food
stuffs and clothing material on the
free list, with low duties on all ag-
ricultural products and food stuffs
that are not free; and with the tariff
on chemical steel and other CONNER
cial products cut far below the pres
ent protective rates
Briefly summarized, the tariff de-
velopments of the day were:
wilson's ultimatum to sugar inter-
ests that they must agree to tariff
of one per cent per pound for three
years with free sugar after that time
or he would attempt to secure free
sugar at once.

Japan PROTESTS
ON ALIEN BILL

Washington, April 5.-The Japan
ese government has lodged formal
protests with the state department
against the proposed enactment by
the state of California of what it
the measure prohibiting the alien
ownership of land in California.
It was learned that this protest was
made nearly a fortnight ago. Secre-
tary Bryan and ViscOunt Chinda, the
Japanese ambassador were closeted
for a half hour at the state depart
ment in a private conference, the
subject of which neither would dis
CuSs.
1t is known that Secretary Bryan
is giving close attention to this deli
cate subject, studying carefully the
history of the negotiations that took
place between Secretary Root and
Baron Takihara in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, when a severe strain
was placed on the relations between
America and Japan by the attempt OF
the California authorities to exclude
japanese children from the public
schools.

REPLY TO ROOSEVELT

not mention Theodore Roosevelt, who
delivered an address here last week,
former Governor Herbert ). Hadley

Kinley club banquet here last night.
replied to many charges made by the
former president against the republi-
can party.
Not the tariff, the money ques-
ton, the Philippines, the Panama ca
nal" he declared, caused the split
in the republican party. 1t was the
alleged abuse of authority by those
in control of the party machinery"
Governor Hadley urged the young
republicans to see to it that the
chance is not again offered for a sim
liar misuse of party machinery. AS
a remedy he advised changing the ba-
sis Of party representation from the
southern states in republican con-
ventions and direct vote in election of
all delegates.
Governor Hadley predicted a union
of the two parties in the near future.

HAINES BIG SHIPPING POINT
POWDER VALLEY PRODUCT,

Baker. Ore. April 5.-The past
week has been one of a little more
than usual activity in the shipping
business a this place. and as a result
considerable coin will come into To-
cal channels, says the Haines Rec
ord.
The shipments consisted of hay and
grain principally. About ten car
loads were shipped out by the Haines
Commercial company, and Doodd &
Anderson and the Farmers Hercan-
tile company each shipped four or
five carloads. Another carload was
shipped by j. F. O'Bryant. In addi-
tion to these shipments was a carload
Of ore from the Highland mine. The
average output of the mine is about
carload a week.
While the business of the week
does not compete with what is done
during the actual shipping season. it
indicates that there is good de-
mand for the products OF our valley.

Many MEN DESERT
UNCLE SANS ARMY


A problem confronting the United
states government and which is grow
ing more serious each year is that
of desertions from the regular army.
Each day brings to the office of Sher-
iff T. D. Taylor between one and a
dozen circulars describing men who
have deserted from some post or bar
racks and a reward of $50 is offered
for the arrest OF each. 1t is estimat-
ed that during the year between 5000
and 1000 men leave the army in this
manner.
Since March 10, Sheriff Taylor has
received 1S0 of these circulars and
states that he fills book of 250
pages on the average of once month
with nothing but these descriptions.
A study of the faces printed on the
circulars is not calculated to height
en- the respect of the average citizen
for the regular soldier of Uncle Sam
for the majority of the deserters are
either negroes or wear the brand of
weakness or criminality stamped up
on their features.
A great many of these deserters
are captured and courtmartialed but
the punishment meted out does not
seem to be reducing the practice,
judging from the circulars which the
government is sending out.

ROUNDUP MAY TAKE
PART IN FESTIVAL

That the Pendleton Roundup
should be repl esented in the Rose
Festival parades in Portland this
year is the desire of the manage
ment of that great northwest show
and from indications the prospects
are good for such participation by
Pendleton.
In formal letter today to Roy W.
Ritner. secretary of the Commercial
club. Hy Eilers, chairman of one OF
the rose festival committees. has
nlaced the proposition before the peo-
ple of the city. The invitation will
be laid before the Roundup direc-
tors at meeting they are to hold
Monday
Though no action has yet been ia
ken by the board, it is almost GER
tainty that in some form or another
the Roundup will participate In the
Portland show. II has been the
purpose for many months to have the
Roundup junketting trip end III
Portland on Friday of the rose festi-
val week. As the band is to accom-
pany the junketting party the hri-
gade would arrive in Portland virtu-
ally ready to participate. 1t is also
possibility, in the view of Mr.. Rit'
ner. that the organization may shlI
a number of the Roundup stage
coaches to Portland for participation
in the parades. However, this viii
depend somewhat upon the coopera'
ton of the railroad companies.
owing to the immense number OF
people who will be in Portland foI
the rose festival and the further fac
that Portlanders in the past have
| been exceedingly loyal to the Round
up, the idea of taking part in theil
festival appeals here.

LONDON PLEASED
WITH Mr.. PAGE

London April 5.-The Nation.
weekly newspaper of liberal tenden-

the interesting experiment" which
President Wilson has made in his APP
pointment of Walter H. Page, as am
bassador to the court of st. James.
"In offering the London embassy
to Mr.. Page" the Nation says: Pres
ident Wilson has made an interesting
experiment. He has boldly reverted
to the scholar diplomat as the type
of man most qualified to represent the
United States abroad. In doing so,
he has paid silent but striking
compliment to the good sense of the
British people. He has assumed that
what we most value in an American
ambassador is not his wealth and his
ability to lavish it on magnificent
houses and huge entertainments, but
his personality and his achievements
and the extent to which he brings
with him the flavor of American
life"
