(From Thursdays Journal.)


The entire livestock situation is very
firm at North Portland. Aside from
the carload of lambs from a William
ette valley point, there was practically
nothing new available for buyers. The
strength in the sheep market is ex-
ceedingly favorable to shippers. Spring
lambs are now generally quoted at
SS.25@S.75 for best offerings, with
wool yearlings at $40, and even a
fraction better for something extra
select.

There is very strong probaollity
OF further advance in the price of cat

a scant supply recently and the wants

of Efforts to get cattle from the out
side at lower prices have failed and 1t
is today costing more to bring in sup

CONGRESSMAN PEPPER.

The death Of Congressman Pepper, of
the Second Iowa district, will be felt
as distinct loss all over the state. Mr..
Pepper had won deserved reputation
as working representative and had
gained the respect Of Iowa and his con-
leagues In the Iowa delegation to con-
gress. He will be missed greatly by
his party, In which he had attained
strong leadership.
What the democracy will do to fill
the gap thus left Is problematical The
democracy of Iowa Is not especially
strong in leadership. The party within
the state has not accomplished much
in the many years Of struggle for con-
troll Of the state government. It can
i'll afford to lose the congressman from
the Second from its counsels.
Pepper has been notable among con.
gressmen eelcted by the democracy Of
the state by reason Of usefulness and
capacity. He gained much by compari-
son with such other democratic repre-
senattion as Iowa sends to congress-.
He had made good with his district and
was respected for his abilities thruou,
the state. That is a good record for a
first term.

Whist q. Horsepower.
[Power.1

Among many engineers there arises
discussion as to the incidents surround
ing the origination OF the term horse
power as applied to the steam engine.
The following quotation from "Farey
on the Steam Engine" published in
1927. will be welcomed by many:
The machinery in the great brew
cries and distilleries in London was
then moved by the strength Of horses.
and the proprietors Of those establish
ments who were first to require Mr..
Watts engines always inquired what
number Of horses an intended engine
would be equal to.
I'm consequence Mr.. Watt made
some experiments on the strong horses
employed by the brewers in London.
and found that horse Of that kind,
walking at the rate Of two and one
half miles an hour, could draw 100
pounds avordupois by means OF 4 rope
passing over a pulley. SO as to raise
up that weight with a vertical motion.
at the rate Of 230 feet per minute. This
exertion Of mechanical power il equal
to $4,000 pounds Cor 52s cubic feet)
of water raised vertically thru space
Of one foot per minute. and he de-
nominated It horsepower. to serve for
a measure of the power exerted by his
steam engines"
This estimate 10 much beyond the

high priced situation. So Of course
must tho man; but the woman still
works under the handicap Of sex. The
idea still prevails that women should
work cheap. cheaper than men.
There are several reasons for this.
Women work cheap. They are inclined
to make work stepping stone to
matrimonial job. The Job is merely
while they are waiting. And this kind
of labor must be cheap because 1t lacks
quality. The women who devote them
selves to a field win often as men. The
schools are full Of women who have
won places of larger responsibility be-
cause OF their fitness: but even there.
the wage OF women, however efficient.
falls below that Of men not more eff
fcient.
The minimum wage goes far toward
solving part Of this problem. Another
part Of 1t will never be solved. The en-
ployer naturally selects young men
VINO have every reason to stay ana
grcw with the business over young
women who may marry Just when they
have been trained to the highest effic-
iency and whose resignation would en-
tail the training OF another manager or
department head and the temporary
Reorganization Of the business. Alto
gether it is up to the woman worker
more than to the man. There will al
ways be stenographers whose services
are dear at IS a week and others who
are cheap at s1oo a month.

WORKING WOMEN.

That women are on a par with men
in business, is the opinion Of John
wanamaker, who il one of the large
employers of women in this country.
At a recent talk which he gave in the
auditorium Of the wanamaker store in
New York before 300 school teachers
in attendance at the summer session Of
the Columbia University, on the sub
ject OF woman's advance in business,
he said:
They get Just as much salary and
are offered just as many opportunities
as the men. There are women in this
store drawing salaries of $4,000 a year.
In architects offices and in engineering
offices we find women drawing wen
over 5000. The modern woman is one
Of the best chemists; she e0cels in the
publishing business where her peculiar
ability enables her to fill many places
better than men. It would not be hard
] to count up 100 things women are do
! ing now that they were not doing forty
years ago.
z Perhaps it is true that in Mr.. Wanna
makers stores :hcce are women get
ting just as high salaries as men. If
20 they are earning them. But it is
also true that other women are work.
ing in the Wanamaker stores and in
other stores for great deal less than
men can be hired doing as good work
- men would do in the same positions
and drawing less than mems wages
simply because they are women. Get

Of employees the difference is not

The Mobile chamber Of commerce
sends to the Marshalltown Club, with
Its com pliments. box OF Satsuma
oranges grown in Mobile county. Ala
hama, with the assurance that these
oranges are the finest grown anywhere
and that they grow TO beat the band
down on the gulf coast where life is
easy and the fishing good. Along with
the little box came a well written and
perhaps ford description OF the ad-
vantages OF Mobile county with the
request that it be given to the news
papers with privilege to publish.
The newspapers are not likely to
publish the advertisement except I'M
der advertising rates but the UNIQUE
method taken to gain publicity de-
serves mention-and gets II. The ac-
tivity Of the Commercial Club of Mo-
bile deserves mention also. 1t is part
of the fuIfll,nenr of the prophecy OF
Henry Grady when he foretold the
new south It liz worth mentioning
also as illustrative of the buried DIFF
ferences between north and south and
as being appreciative Of the worth Of
northern thrift and push and hard
work which a more arrogant genera
ton OF the older south condemned, re-
pulsed and despised. The south has
turned from the manor to the small
farm, from the cavalier on horseback
to the farmer busy with his own mind
and hands. Recognition Of Yankee
thrift and management and a new re-
spect to labor in itself is in the Christ
mas greeting Of the Mobile club to the
Marshalltown organization.
However there is small doubt that
it Is better to grow corn and feed
stock and milk cows In Iowa than to
cultivate oranges in Mobile county and
fish along the coast. The corn coun-
try has the most hard work and the
greater number Of autos and the big
gest bank accounts; the orange coun-
tries are warm in winter and life per-
haps is less strenuous. AS TO the mat
ter Of happiness that does not depend
on location or climate. The best thing
any young man can do for himself is
to stay in Iowa and fight 1t out here
Time enough to seek the persumed
groves and the idyllic ease of the fields
which under the enchantment of dis
lance seem elysian, after he has made
his stake in Iowa"
Nevertheless the oranges are fine
and there are many northern COM
mercial clubs which may note to their
own advantage the fashion in which

soAPING CREAM.

SOAPING CREAM.
webster City Ere eman- Tribune]
A few DAYS ago q farmer took can
Of Ave or six gallons of cream to l.. e.
Knell and sold It While he was therS
the commission man smelt OF It ana
declared that he was going to churn !.
himself. The farmer told him that
probably it would be little hard to
churn. explaining his reasons for that
belief on the ground that 1t was hand
SKINNED. When test was made OF
it the discovery was made that there
was a foreign substance in 1t which
was not butter fat by a good deal. and
a sample was sent TO the state dairy
commissioner fer analysis. Yesterday
the Official asked the Perry man to
give the department the name OF the
farmer who sold it to him, stating that
a test case would be made Of the mat
ter under the pure food law, adding
that a large quantity Of soap had been
found in 1t,
Just what the outcome OF the case
will be is hard to say. Mr.. Kneil
stated yesterday that he did not want
to see the farmer have to pay heavy
fine. which was sure to follow, If he
made a report Of the case as directed.
and he Is looking for the man to tell
him what condition affairs are in and
give him an oppor tunity to get the
matter Strengthened up, returning the
money which was paid for the cream.
II this is done there will probably be
no more to the case.-Perry Advertiser.
Wonder why Mr.. Knell doesn't want
to see the farmer pay a heavy fine?
A farmer that will do such a trick as
that ought to be made to suffer the
consequences. Really the law is not
severe enough. To put soft soap in
cream IN order to make 4. test better,
thus selling at higher values, is worse
than stealing and why there should be
any computations on the part of any
pody TO make the guilty rascal sweat IL
beyond the Freeman Tribune. The
consumer who pays 80 to 35 cents a
pound for butter has right to pro-
lection. He has a right to know that
ne Is not buying soft soap TO feed to
MS family. If he wants them to eat
soap lie can make 1t at much less
IMAM 80 or 35 cents a pound and the
chances are his family would not con-
sumo very much Of It, This farmer
ought to be made an example of 1t Is
relief to know that few farmers
would be guilty Of such thing, bur 1t
Is not a relief TO believe that there
are many commission men who would
hush UP such matters II the, ones who
pTacl!ce them are protected by simply
returning the money they stole. lhe
pure 1000 law is one Of the best laws
