BRIGHT PROSPECTS AHEAD.

From the managers of every rail-
way system west of the Mississippi
River comes news of the most bril-
liant prospects in production of the
farms and orchards, and not a sys-
tenn in all the region from the Cana
da line to the Gulf and the Mexican
border but estimates a notable in
crease in number of cars that will be
required to transport theagricultural
tonnage which is to be exchanged for
the cash that returns to the farmers
to enrich them and benefit the entire
country.
Pessimists may seek to dwarf the
results of the country at large, but
facts and precedents are all against
them.
Large harvests, ample supplies of
money this autumn in the United
States, prices as yet in many of our
products not materially lower, surely
will place the Inhabitants of the
farming districts in position to pur-
chase largely of the outputs of our
manufactures.
We have now the testimony of the
heads of the railway systems as to
what this tonnage means to their
roads.
1t necessitates the employment of
more men, the purchase of more cars,
of more motive power, and largely
increased supplies of steel rails and
all other material that enters into
the transportation business.-Wash-
ington Post.

COL. ROOSEVELT'S HEALTH.

After the severe attack of malarial
fever that he suffered in Brazil, it is
not surprising that Col. Roosevelt
should be in need of a long rest.
Only nature as buoyant as his
would have felt impelled to plunge
into the turmoil and hustle of his
old life Immediately on his return.
If Col. Roosevelt, like other ex-
presidents, after retirement from Of
flee had been content to lead life
of dignified quiet, his enforced vaca-
ton would be no great hardship.
While he might have devoted him
self in the best sense to the nation
al service, by deliberate choice he be-
came a narrow and vindictive par
tisan and played the part of an incor
rigible disturber.
To a man of his wonderful energy
and limitless interests it is not easy
to be docile patient. He has never
spared himself, and the faction of
agitators at the head of which he has
placed himself has shown no desire
to spare him. But necessity is
stronger than any Of them, and for
the time being an involuntary period
of restraint is the prescription he
must submit to for his own good
New York World.

WHAT HE DID WHEN HE HAD 1T.

Col. Roosevelt assailed the demo-
cratic party in his Pittsburgh speech
as a party afraid of power. In his
view of the tariff and trust problems,
what the government needs is more
power, and he would vest that power
in administrative officers, who should
be free from the courts.
On the trust question he said that
the country had been trying to abol-
ish monopoly for twenty-four years
and had failed because his remedy
through increased administrative
power had not been applied. There
fore he asked that the democratic
party bel defeated and his party
which is another way of saying Theo-
dore Roosevelt-be put in it's place.
When the Colonel was president
he had power How dill he use it?
During the republican panic of
1907 representatives of the steel cor
poration came to him and asked his
approval of a plan to consolidate the
steel corporation and it's most pow
erful rival, the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company. The corporation at
that time controlled the iron mining
business in the Lake Superior dis
trict, the largest iron mining district
in the country. The next largest dis
trict, around Birmingham, Ala, was
largely controlled by the Tennessee
The Colonel exercised the
power-not the right-he had to

atoms control over the best iron
land remaining out of its hands in

FEDERAL RESERVE ACT.
New York Bankers Forced to Con-
cetle Merit of Democrat.
iC Measure.

(By J. S. Bache & Co., Bankers)
In considering the future of the
Federal reserve system, it must be
remembered that a great moral an
chorage was provided for in the Gre
alton of the Federal advisory coun-
Gil. This is a board of twelve men,
selected by bankers, and completely
free from governmental influence.
While it's powers are limited to con-
ference and advice, it will be none
the less real and great force in
keeping the whole system sound.
One member of this council is to
be selected by the boards of directors
cf each Federal reserve bank. These
boards are made up of three directors
appointed by the government and six
by the member bankers of the dis
trict. The board is thus made pre-
pond cratingly banking board and
the selection for the position on the
advisory council will undoubtedly be
of highest class material.
The advisory council must meet at
least four times each year for con-
ference IN Washington with the Fed
eral reserve board, or oftener if call
ed by the latter. But, in addition, it
may hold meetings at Washington or
elsewhere as often as it may deem
necessary, may select it's own officers
ard adopt it's own methods of prOce-
durc.
Paragraph 70 of the Federal Re-
serve Al says: The Federal advis-
ory council shall have power, by it.

Should it ever happen, which may
never be the case, that the Federal
board should undertake unwise or
routcal action the protest of this
Federal council would become pow
erfu! and undoubtedly be backed by
so"pd public opinion, and in the light
of enormous publicity, no unwise ad-
n.inistrative action or policy could
long prevail.

FEELING is OPTONllSTIC.
Business Men Write President Con.
tradicting Republican Cry of Cal
amity-FactOries ON Full Time.

Letters and teleSramS lnat are
pouring in upon President Wilson
and members of the cabinet fatty
contradict the pessimistic reports OF
the business situation which are be-
ing so industriously circulated by re-
publican politicians.
Talk of panic, these advices say,
has no foundation whatever. All
evidence points to the largest grain
crop, including corn, in history. 1t
therefore follows, the democratic
leaders say, that business boom will
quickly appear after the marketing
of the bumper crop.
The president is confident 1t will
be a lasting boom because the exist
ing doubts as to the meaning OF the
antitrust laws will be removed and
because scienticific currency sys-
tenn will then be in full operation.
The letters most valued by the
president come from the heads OF
large banking, manufacturing and
iobbing houses. They express agree
ment that there is every reason for
optimism. The banks have plenty OF
money and are not overloaned, and
the manufacturing and merchant
world is carrying a light debt load.
The only testimony of depression
comes from the stock exchanges. The
stock gamblers of Wall street are not
getting as many lambs to shear as
they would like. They attribute the
slack year in stock trading to the
fact that the president is firmly de-
manding that congress live up to the
democratic platform pledges and
strengthen the Sherman antitrust
law. If enacted. the trust bills will
20 long way towards limiting the
old field of stock manipulation. The
requirement that new issues of rail-
way securities be approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, for
instance, will put an end to the old
game of selling water to the public
at high prices.
Joseph P. Tumulty, private secre-
tary to the president, recently was
showing a pile of the encouraging
letters to Representative Thomas L..
Reilly, of Connecticut. After read
ing them Mr.. Reilly said:
"My own correspondence is of the
same character I got letter few
days ago telling me that because the
employees in the clock factories in
and around New Haven have been
working fewer hours the charge is
being made that this and other alleg-
ed troubles are due to the heavy i'm
portations of foreign clocks under
the democratic tariff. ! wanted to
know the true facts and asked the
Department of Commerce to give me
the very latest figures as to the i'm
portations of clocks. The latest
figures were for the three months
ending March 81 last-that is, for
January, February and March.
Clocks to the total value of ST. 1000
were imported in those months. For
the same three months of 1918, un-
der a republican administration and
republican tariff, clocks to the value
of $161 900 were imported.
Investigation by me shows that
manufactures of all kinds around
New Haven, accustomed for many
years to a shut down of two weeks
around July 4, will not close down
this year longer than that and some
of those which have closed in the
past will not shut down at all.

on the range. Then when the ir-
rlgation water was turned on
we added alfalfa to the list, and
this was soon followed by wheat
in the dry farming districts. It
was then discovered that we had
ideal soil and climate for fruit.
When it comes to peaches, cher
ries, Strawberries, grapes and
apples we challenge the world to
beat us. Progress" being our
motto, we tried growing the king
of staple products, corn and we
found that we could not only
grow as good, but more to the
acre than our famous corn states
could grow. The dairy COW and
the hog recognizing an ideal eli
mate for them to live in and that
there was an abundant supply
of the best of feed, alfalfa and
corn Immediately stepped into
line and began to do their part.
Then one of the last, but not the
least to appear on the scene to
offer his service for the good of
the country is the much-loved
Thanksgiving turkey.
The good people along the Col
umbia river, which bounds our
county on the south, at Walker,
Longview, Coolidge, Paterson
and back into the Horse Heaven,
recognizing that they had ideal
climatic conditions for raising
turkeys, and being a class of
people who are awake and know
an opportunity when they see it,
have proven that the turkey is
fast becoming one of our Deepen
dable resources. The size of their
flocks vary from fifty to four
hundred and the total number
raised this year is from 1900 to
1900 turkeys.
Some time ago the writer had
the pleasure of taking three of
these enthusiastic and progress
sive growers to visit Mrs. John
Shelter, of Sunnyside, one of the
largest turkey growers in Yak
ina county. While there meet
ing was arranged to be held in
Paterson, when Mrs. Shelter
would bep resent and give what
assistance she could to the new
industry. On November the IL
this meeting was held at the
home of N. w. Jacobson, in Pat
erson. Notwithstanding, it was
a stormy day there were twenty
persons present. The turk was
discussed from the time he left
the shell until he was ready for
the block. Mrs. Shelter gave her
experience and brought out
three essential points: LIST, good
breeding; End, care of the young
turk; 3rd, proper feeding. Diff
ferent growers then gave their
experiences of how they hand
led their flocks. The meeting
had a spirit of wanting to learn
more about the business.
Those present realizing that
to make turkey growing a sue
cess three things were very es-
sential. LIST, to improve their
breeds and grow strong, healthy
fowls; End, study the diseases OF
the turkey and be ever on guard
and able to use the ounce of pre-
yention instead of the pound OF
cure; 3rd, to study and know the
markets.
For this purpose the Column
bia River Turkey Association
,,os ORGANIZED. with Mrs. jacob
son, of Paterson, president; Mrs.
T. C.. Andrews, of Horse Heaven,
vice president and D. H. King
of Longview secretary and treas
|urer. Mrs. John Shelter, of sum
INSIDE, was elected honorary
member, as an acknowledgment
of the valuable information she
gave the organization.

HUNDRED CARS OF
APPLES IN OCTOBER
Collins Markets Yakima and
Wenatchee Fruit Out of Ken
misunderstanding Agency

That a distributing business
reaching over nearly every state
in the Union and Canada can be
done out of Kennewick just as
well as out of Spokane, Port
land or Seattle has been demon
strated by Chas. H. Collins, who
with his local force together
with several travelling statesmen,
have placed large volume Of
business in the last thirty days.
Yakima, Wenatchee and Spo-
kane shippers and growers have
marketed their apples through
Mr.. Collins agency and more
are adding their lists of offerings
every week.
II contemplate taking a trip
to South America this winter to
extend our sales agency into that
country, thereby getting in
touch direct from the producing
end instead of going through
New York and London dealers
as has been the practice hereto
FORE" said Mr.. Collins. "Sales
made through these several
agencies has resulted in the
growers not getting the benefit
of the big prices that have been
received from that country. It's
an i'll wind that blows nobody
good The effect of the war
can be turned to good account if
we get a hold of some of that
foreign business while the coun-
tries that have held it are en-
gagged in war.
81 believe that Kennewick and
the Early Fruit Belt apples now
coming into bearing must look
to the export business in order
to take full advantage of the
Panama Canal as our fruit can
just as well go by water direct
all the way. The early ripening
of our fruit can be turned to
good account again in our having
a fully matured apple for the
early export demand which al
ways calls for early shipments
and in most cases poorly ma
tured apple has to be taken in or
der to get the apples on their
way in time. From here a fully
matured apple can be put up for
this same trade.
"My shippers have no reason
to complain of the prices which
we have been able to get this
season on apples. In many
cases we have opened apple
stores and sold directly to the
consumer where suitable ar,
rangements could not be made.
We found that shipping the &c"
grade apples in bulk greatly in
creased the net profit to the
grower. Another year, rates
will be established on bulk ap-
pies which will permit of the
shipping of bulk apples to all the
territories, while this year they
could not be as railroad compan-
les did not offer rates on bulk
apples in many cahes. One OF
our statesmen will spend his en-
tire winter perfecting systems
for getting more money for the
products we grow in the terri
tories where such fruits should
be marketed. Thus far the av-
/
erage price for our &c" grade is
better than Is cents per box and
in many cases Is cents, which
prices will show the grower a
profit, and a fair one too.
Gas regards this by-pr0duct
talk we are hearing so much
/ about, favor it, but we must be
careful and start small and feel
our way. l believe a cannery
can be started in a very modest
way in Kennewick next year but
! it must be remembered that
there is not nearly so much
waste product in this valley as
