But l want to burn into your brains
this idea, which have stressed long
and persistently--that the farmer isn't
going to get any adequate, practical,
worthwhile marketing plan until he
works 1t out himself. Moreover, ne
won't accept anybody else's plan, >
know 1t, as you know 1t.
liz he does accept any semi benevo-
lent scheme in that direction, he won't
stand by IL. l know 1t, and you know
IL. II Is best usually to be blunt
when the truth is to be told. because
to soft-soap and palaver gets nothing
but contempt In the end. / believe
the vast majority of American farmers
know now that / am their friend all
the time, and that I have no axes to
grind. save their axes.
SO l stand forth and tell you the
them. as / see and understand you.
You are not going TO get your emanci-
patton, your freedom. your rights,
through commissions, through individ-
uals. through corporations. aye, even
through your great government. 1t
must come from your own efforts
your own organization, through plans
formulated within your own ranks
and. believe, through the Farmers
Union.
Do not understand that I minimize
or would stop others In honest and
genuine endeavor TO solve your prob
lems and get down to a tangible,
workable. common sense plan for
marketing. There are many unselfsh
and noble spirits at work. and. as i
have stated, by the nation wide agi-
tation over marketing. good is bound
to come. ,...t
But you are arbiters and masters
Of your own destiny Work out your

that every farmer will join in the

COUNCIL OF SALEM

Because the state supreme court has
rendered an opinion to the effect that
the registration and election law passed
by the state Legislature ut the last ses.
sion is unconstitutional, City Attorney
La Roche, Of Portland, says that per-
sons who have registered under that
law cannot vote at the city election De
cember 8, There are about 27OO per-
sons in Portland who registered under
this law. In order to vote they will
have to go through the formality at the
polls of being sworn in.
The opinion of City Attorney La
Richie was prepared yesterday and sent
to City Auditor Barbur. AS a result Of
the decision no attempt will be made at
the special election to use the registra'
ton books prepared since last June
There will be no record Of registration

Water in Southern Texas Con-

Lower in North.
TOTAL DEAD MAY
BE ONE HUNDRED
Five Hundred Persons at Hearn
Are in Treetops and Fear
Drowning.

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 5.--Oold,
soaking rains aggravated the suffering
Of thousands Of flood refugees in Con-
tral and Southern Texas.
The water, too, in the southern dis
trict continued rising though It was
beginning to subaide in the north cen-
tral counties.
Communication was not much easier
today than yesterday, so It was impos-
siblo to learn definitely how many lives
had been lost Many persons believed,
however, that the total would finally
be found to have reached SO or 100.
An immense number OF tho sufferers
were farmers, whose nearest neiehhors
were at considerable distance from
shcm, and u was impossible to aecopnb
for many, who might have reached
places Of safety or perished.
Hundreds In Treetops.
From Hearn, on the Houston y Texas
Central railroad, an urgent appeal was
made for boats TO rescue at least 500
people who had found temporary places
Of refuge In treetops, but who, accord
ing to the Hearn telegraph operation,
were in'immiuent danger Of being
drowned by the steadily raising waters.
The Brazoa river rose two feet at
Waco last night, and there were 1000
homeless there alone. Considerable loot
ing occurred in Waco and vicinity, and
many arrests were made by the state
troops patroling tho district. No re-
ports we're received Of the shooting Of
plunderers, though Governor oolquitt
gave orders 10 that effect.
Every railroad in the flooded district
told Of heavy losses Of bridges and by
washed out tracks.

plosion, shipwrecked, thrown into the
water, lost in the fog and finally res

coal oil and tried to build a fire with IT,
His head, arms and legs are severely

Chambers was employed at the Paci-
fie American Fisheries on Eliza Island.
Wednesday he decided to build fire 10

thought was kerosene, but poured a few
drops Of gasoline in the stove instead.
The explosion which followed wrecked
