DUNN'S REPORT FOR
NORTHWEST RECEIVED

Trade reviews of business conditions
in Oregon. Washington, Idaho and
Alaska, prepared by r. G. Dunn &
Co.. have just reached Pendleton. The
review says:
The year 1912 was marked by ad-
vances in production in all lines, COM
pared with 1911. Harvest conditions
were generally favorable, and an i'm
mense crop was secured without ap-
preciable loss. Owing to heavy crops
elsewhere, serious difficulty has been
encountered in obtaining a market
for all the products at remunerative
prices. Late fruits and forage crops
have suffered especially in this re-
gard. In some districts farmers have
delayed selling with a consequent de-
preston of local business activity. The
revival of the lumber business and
a successful season in fisheries, COM
&sled with the excellent harvest to
create a year of generally diffused
prosperity"
Each county in Oregon is taken up
individually and the general tone is
that conditions are excellent finan-
cially and otherwise, the unstaple
market for fruits and vegetables be-
ing noted. The total wheat crop in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, in
1911 was 65,OOO,OOO, and in 1912, 49,
100000.
Relative to the fruit crop in these
states the review continues:
Fruit crop throughout the North
west was the heaviest in its history
Prunes and pears were generally a
short crop, but of good quality. All
other fruits, both large and small
were plentiful in quantity and of ex-
cellent quality. In addition to good
weather conditions a very largely in
creased number of young apple trees
came into bearing, and districts here
tofore small producers appear this
year as strong competitors. Up to this
time difficulty has been experienced
in finding market sufficient to dis
pose of the crop at prices that will
warrant shipment. Several new asso-
cations have been formed to deal
with the problem systematically.
While much loss has been suffered.
the total receipts for fruit products
are estimated greater than in any for
mer year.

Installing Signal semiphore.

The O-W. r. & N. Co. is installing
train order signal semiphore at the
local depot such as it has at nearly
all of the stations where an operator
Is maintained. Pendleton has been
without this service for a good many
years, the fact that all trains stop
here anyway having made 1t to a great
extent unnecessary. However, to in
sure greater safety the company has
ordered the semiphores installed at
such stations as have been without
such signal service since the abandon
ing of the old style device. By this
service, the engineer of any approach
ing train may know before the train
arrives whether there are any orders
awaiting him here.

SENATE REFUSES TO
TAKE HOUSE BILLS

Salem, Ore, Feb. 1S.-Just to show
that it means business and does not
intend to receive bills from the house

are of real importance, the senate

extra shrieks this afternoon when the
senate's action is formally conveyed
to that body through Speaker Near

unconsidered in the house, the organ

the theory of staying over one more

slider all these bills by holding back
some of the most important matters
to the last.

many of the members do not care to
delegate to committee the power of
selecting the bills to be passed This,
they declare, would be rule by a
clique.
Another plan is to wind up business
so far as general legislation Is con-
cerned, next Saturday, then take a
recess for a week and return to act
on the vetoes. of the governor. Dur
ing the present week it Is expected
that a vast pile of bills will be sent
to the governors office, and among
the 200 or 300 bills to be passed in
four or five days will be the meas
ures on which the organization ex-
poets the ak to descend.
This plan of returning to Salem for
a whack at the governors vetoes Is
receiving serious consideration at the
hands of the organization leaders as
a substitute for extending the session
into next week

EXPECT CIVIL WAR
Plans Being Made in England to Care

Happens.

LONDON, Dec 1S.-The widespread
movement having for its object the
care OF the women and children of
Ulster in the event civil war should
follow the enactment of the home rule
bill is under way in England. At the
instance of the British league for the
support of Ulster, many women
throughout the country who are favor
able to the cause of the anti-home
rulers have agreed to each take a GER
tain number of mothers and children
and to house them during the continu
ance of hostilities. Others are form
ing nursing corps, and from various
sections reports are coming in of large
numbers of volunteers for this service.
The league claims to have more than
300 recruiting agents in the field
throughout England, Scotland, and
Wales, and that men are pledging
themselves at the rate of a hundred
day to join the proposed Ulster auxil-
larry force.

Frederick E. Smith, counsel for the

from putting in effect the new rate of
% cents thousand cubic feet for ma

by the commission some weeks ago,

cessive. The suit in which the order
was granted questions the authority of

ty of the commission has been ques-
toned in the courts since it was es-

EuGENICs NOT ENOUGH.

The eugenic wedding of an en-
ploye of the treasury department and
a Kansas girl has been properly SOL
emnized and advertised, although the
dispatches failed to crafty our curl
osity as to whether the health GER
tificates were exchanged and retained
by the contracting parties, left with
the officiating clergyman for his pro-
lection or made a matter of record
The event does not necessarily mean
that the couple are whit healthier
than any of hundreds of other I'M
known couples that were married the
same day 1t merely means that they
had doctors certificates to testify to
the fact. Whether they did this mere
ly to be noticed, to proclaim their
general belief as to what the law
should require, or whether each dis
trusted the other and demanded pro-
fessional protection against being i'm
posed upon is matter of speculation
If the third theory be correct, which
is altogether improbable, due caution
should have been exercised by both
parties. How could the bride put i'm
plicit trust in the certificate of an I'M
known physician living in that wicked
city of Washington, where even peo-
pie in highest places are often re-
sponsive to mercenary influences, ac-
cording to many of our magazine
~, al, lfxx
could a federal office holder expect
impartial treatment at the hands of
the family physician of the bride?
To insure confidence in the health
the medical examiner of a life in
surance company and policies should
accompany them. Then the physician
would feel some sense of RESPONSE
bility. And the life insurance policies
themselves would constitute an adj
mirable prerequisite of marriage.
Even the healthiest of individuals are
stricken down by plague or accident
and financial relief of the bereaved
should be provided Since IMPROVE
dence is one of the prolific causes
of domestic difficulties, the groom
should also carry a properly certified
statement of his financial condition
and sworn itemized account of his
receipts and expenditures for pc
Rod of years A similar itemized
statement, duly verified should be
furnished by one of the parents of the
bride, setting forth her expenditure
She should also be compelled to fur
nish a diploma from some recognized
school of domestic science, testifying
to her ability to cook something be-
sides Welsh rabbit.
But even after these preliminary
precautions have been taken there is
still great possibility of martial woe,
due to incompatibility of temper |
Courtship has long been conducted |
along the most unscientific and de- |
ceitful lines. Each party tries to en-
trap the other by graciousness which |
is often assumed The law should |
compel both young people to show |
their worst side during the period of
courtship. The eugenic test is worth
less unless these and a dozen or so
more highly important matters are
attended to.
