At 10 o'clock Senator Fall had
Just started his attack on the admin
istration's policy.
Can Go Far
The substitute for the original
resolution reads:
"In view of the fact presented by
the president of the United States in
his address delivered to congress in
Joint session on the Goth day of April,
1914, in regard to certain affronts
and indignities committed against the
United States in Mexico, bet it

amends for the affronts and indignl-
ties committee against the United
States; be it further
Resolved, That the United States
disclaims any hostility to the Me.i-
can people or any purpose to. make
war upon them"
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee, submitted another substitute,
that would declare that state of an
archy exists in Mexico, amking 1t
impossible for Mexico to discharge its
international obligations and the I'M
provoked insults and in6ignities in
flicted upon the flag and the uniform
of the United States by armed forces
there:
"That the self-respect and dignity
of the United States and the duty tc
protect it's citizens and it's interna-
tional rights, require that such
course be followed in Mexico by ou1
government as to compel respect and
observance of itA rights.
Use Revenue Cutters
Arrangements for the participation
of the revenue cutters in Mexican
blockade were being perfected by Of
ficials of the treasury and war de-
partments. 1t was recalled that the
ships of the customs navy aided in

Case to Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Telling Result Of Their
Many Investigations.

Kansas City.-Final plans for the
fight that six states west of the Mis-
sissippi river intend to make against
the request of the railroads OF the
county for an increase in freight rates
was made at a conference here.
At statement issued by the commits
sioners reads, In part:
1T has been stated by many per-
sons in the last few months that the
increased cost of labor and supplies
has caused gradual decline in thes
railroads net revenue during recent
years.
This statement has spread to such
an extent that the business world has
been led to believe 1t is true. The
evidence we will submit to the inter-
state commerce commission does not
bear out that contention.
1--WE find that the net revenues OF
the American railroads for the year
1918 were $77,00O.000 greater than for
the year 1912. We find that their net:
revenues last year were 100000
greater than 15 years ago. They have
increased their net revenues more than
100 per cent since 1898.
I'VE have made somewhat elaborate
analysis Of comparative credit OF rail-
roads and industrial companies. the
ability of the railroads to sell their So
curities, expenditures of railway COM
panies for maintenance and other fac
tors involved in the case The anal

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Optimism as to
the future is unimpaired, Industrial
operations are expanding at an en-
couraging rate. the gait of production
in several leading lines having been
considerably speeded up; high grade
bonds continue to receive good re-
ception from investors; retail trade in
winter apparel has been stimulated by
heavy snow storms and zero weather.
the coal trade has been benefited and
fall sown wheat, apparently uniniured
thus far, Is in excellent condition aniji
gives promise of an enormous yield II
1t goes to maturity without further un--
toward developments.
"On the other hand. Indictment
weather, particularly in the east. has
impeded shipments and stiffened
prices Of some commodities"
Dun's Review says: weather con-
ditions were an important factor IN
the business situation this week Re
cent storms impeded railroad trafllC
and retarded the distribution Of mer-
chandise, vet certain lines Of trade
benefited by the heavy snowfall ana
zero temperatures. There was a nota-
BILE increase in the movement Of foot
wear and heavy weight apparel, while
fuel was in greater demand.
Sentiment in commercial and Indus
trial channels remains optimistic and
evidences Of improving conditions ac-
cumulate. This is particularly true OF
wool, sales Of which continue large at
advancing prices. A material reduc-
ton has occurred in supplies at an

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Encouraging reports are coming
from all parts of the Inland Empire
regarding crop prospects.
John F. Tuna Of Odessa, WASH,
took first prize for Washington blue
stem wheat at the National Corn show
at Dallas, Texas.
During the year 1914 the North Pa
cific Fruit Distributors expect to mar
ket 300 to 400 carloads of strawber-
ries and $50 carloads Of cherries.
Wenatchee business men have taken
steps to curb the activities Of IRE
sponsible commission men and mar
ket pirates who are every year caus-
ing losses to growers.
Farmers on the Rattlesnake Flat,
south of Ritzville, have begun seed
ing, this being the earliest the seed
has been sown in many years. The
outlook for a crop Is fine.
Wool growers of the Inland Empire
anticipate better prices for the clip
this year than last. Offers of 16 cents
a pound have been made and 1t IL
predicted that the average will be
around 10 cents.
