SENATORS WILL
LIMIT JOHNSON
THREE-YEAR- WAGE
Washington Team Will Pay
$4,000 for Services of
HuTIer-If Feds Get Him
They Must Pay More.

Walter JOhnsOn's efforts 20 stick up
the Washington club for a record sal
ar. has brought an offer Of "a three
year contract at $4,000 year from
Clark Grifith. This is the latest bit
Of gossip fresh from the home of the
Senators. If the Feds go above that
they are welcome 70 the pitcher but
the $4,000 mark is as far as the
Washington club cares to go. That
means $4,000 FOR three years work.
The negotiations between the great
pitcher and the club have been going
on since midseasOn. Walter has
steadfaStly refused TO give out the fig
ures he Is supposed 10 have received
rom the outlaws. and for this rea-
son he has Griffith and Pres't Minor
bidding against an unknown price
They have overlooked the injustice Of
his actions. and the $4,000 an
nounced today is tagged as their limit.
-Four years ago Johnson drew an
ordinary salary. The next spring he
was signed TO a three-year-do document
calling for $1,000. In 1914 this con-
tract ran out. and he refused to tie
himself mp for more than a season.
He succeeded In getting a $4,000
raise for last seasons work, bringing
his total up 10. $4,000 for the year.
Today he IS hesitating about accept
Ing an Increase Of $4,000 over that
contract.
Fans Sour ON Pitcher.
Walters actions are not commend
able. Not so very long ago he put
himself or what he called the auc-
tiou block" and uttered his famous
statement, II am out for the money"
There's still a little sentiment left I'm
the game, but only small per cent Of
the remainder is on Johnson's side.
One result of his stand Is that Wash
ingJon fans no longer look upon him
as am idol To them he formerly rep
resented everything that went to make
up "a good pitcher. Today ne is classed
HTith the moneys grabbing crowd and
IS spoken Of accordingly.
Right now the fans OF the country
are split over his status. Half Of them
believe he has signed with the third
league. They point TO his refusal OF
the big contract offered him by the
Senators as "A basis for their belief.

he is going next year. refusing to COM

autumn Northwestern newspapers made
frequent mention of the presence of a
buyer from South Africa. They did not
say, because they did not know, that
the buyer had been brought here by the
exchange as the triumphant results of
two years persistent pressure on the
partners in Johannesburg, supplement
ed by strong personal representations by
the exchanges London manager to the
London partners Of the South African
concern. The exchange actually made
the opening sale to this firm in London
and the preliminaries were arranged as
a prerequisite of the trip out by the
buyer. Once here, while the exchange
had the preference and made important
sales, it nevertheless encouraged the
distribution of the business among
other shipping factors, so that the ex-
changes work was direct benefit to
the industry at large. Next year this
business should mean at least 100 car
loads or more.
n The exchanges history has been one
of achievement and Of service. 1t has
done much of the heavy pioneer work
and blazed many important trails. To
it is due the principal credit for the
divorce of the business from consign
ment basis, and the establishment of
what is practically cash market f. o.

Having established permanent office
in London in the spring of 1912, as a
result Of these methods Northwestern
apples are being given a systematic dis
tribution in Europe that would never
have been possible otherwise.
Before the entry of the exchange into
the situation the European trade in
Northwestern apples was exclusively in
the hands Of New York and foreign
spectators, and the appearance of our
fruit on the foreign markets was ir-
regular Under present conditions, the
most famous Northwestern brands can
be had in Europe every day from Octo-
Der to April. The exchange sold 2oo,-
900 boxes Of Northwestern apples in Eu-
rope last season.
Trade Routes Are Studied.
The exchange is making a serious
professional study of the whole ship
ping situation with reference to pres
ent trade routes and particularly with
reference to the new trade routes to be
established upon the opening of the
Panama Canal. At the present time it
is engaged in serious study of markets
of Australia, Central and South Amer
lea and South Africa.
To the exchange is due the credit of
opening up this season an important
market in South Africa. During the

Recent news developments re-
garding the activities Of the
Northwest Fruit Exchange will
make this article, we believe,
doubly interesting. The develop
ment of the market for North

local and, at the most, national,
to an international one over
night was one Of the wonders of
two years ago. Just what this

Mrs. Della E. Atkinson, whose name
was proposed at both Republican and
Progressive assemblies for county su.
perintendent of schools, appears to
Independent as a particularly desir-
able candidate.
Educated in Iowa institutions OF
learning, she has had twelve years
teaching experience in Colorado, a
part of which has been in Delta coun-
ty, and it is said she was the idol
of each school where employed She
possesses an animated school inter
est not excelled in any resident of this
county and is in all ways splendid

Mrs. Atkinson is the wife of a
worthy tenant farmer, and her ambi.
tion to be school superintendent is not
only very worthy but should also be
satisfactory and assuring to the school

Europe.n Money eo.. ellmmerIna,

A late estimate of the costs of run
ming the European war is about s54,.
100000 a day. One of the results in
this country is to stop all source Of
European investments and to hold
back much of our own wealth on the
pretext that bond buyers, ETC., can not
get the money, while the likelihood Is
that men with money are holding it
in anticipation of higher interest mar.

dency to bring about money strin-
gency of very severe character, in So
far as capital investments are con-
cerned, but, with the billion dollar
currency plan of this government, it is
not likely that our more legitimate
commercial interests will be at all
affected, and our great crop move

Though a million men might shed
their last drop of blood on European
battlefields. until militarism has evok-

Must Print WeIqht on Butter.

Houston. Texas.-The city council Mon
day afternoon acted on the suggestion Of
Charles Lawrence, sealer Of weights and
measures. and passed an ordinance re-.
curing that packages or butter have
printed on the outside the weight when
1t l. a pound or more in letters 3-16th of
an inch high. Packages containing less
than a pound will have the ~cight printed
IN letters one-half inch high. The ordin-
anee is effective October 1. The ordnance
had been recommended by Mr.. Lawrence
after he had found that many stores were
selling butter in packages supposed 70
contain one pound when In reality only
il and ~l5-ounces were in the packages.
Sometimes the weight was printed in
ounces in letter so small they could hardly
be read. The ordinance was drawn BY
City Attorney Mcmahon and carries pen
nlties for the violation Of the provisions.
