FEAR A JAPANESE TRUCK
 GARDEN INVASION

CALUMET, July 22.-One of the Japanese colonies of truck gardens have decided to come to this place to settle and there is a fear now that Il regular invasion of the country around here will take place. Steps have been taken already to prevent this influx and there is a very strong possibility that an agitation will be started here that might renew the old California alien law fight once again.

A FARMERS MARKET.

One of the most pressing needs OF
the Emmett country is a market fol-
the products Of the farmer and the
fruitgrower.
What is a town for anyway If not
to market the products of the sur
rounding country? Conditions in this
respect have greatly improved the
past year by the establishment of the
Emmett Produce Company and the
activities Of the Union Meat Company
Of Portland, through its representa-
tive, Henry Goul These have estab-
lished market for dairy products,
poultry and live stock. But the fruit
grower-especially he who produces
the tender fruits, such as peaches and
apricots and berries and vegetables
is without an adequate market. He
is too much at the mercy of the buyer
because Of the perishable nature of
those products. A modern canning
factory of sufficient capacity and cap
lldl W Hdilutc TIC NAiHHtSNt oui piNS
would fill that need and place the fruit
industry in this section on perma-
nent and sound basis. Such an insti-
tuition should be secured this year.
The field is an alluring one for cap
ital from business standpoint--there
is no better in the West.
Through the cooperation of the
business and farming interests of the
Emmett country a canning factory
may be secured. Eastern capital is
ready to undertake the building of
one provided encouragement is given,
The Commercial Club is using its best
andeayors TO secure such factory
but it needs the assistance of every
business man and farmer
Are you willing to help?

HARMONY.

When viewed under cold logic isn't
it strange that with all the talk OF
harmony, of getting Progressives and
standpatters together within the Re
publican party, no one anywhere is
saying word or apparently purpose
ly doing a thing TO bring about the
union and cooperation of those who
are indeed practically one in prinei-
pies, and largely one as to methods,
even though they call themselves by
other names.
Progressive Democrats and moss
back bourbons, who have nothing In
common but name are going along
with no present sign of fight, yet
either one faction or the other has no
proper place in the Democratic party,
but should join its twin element in or
from the Republican party.
1t seems little short of tragedy
that those who believe in moving for
ward to points of vantage in govern
ment never held by man before, should
be divided into three or more war;
ing camps.

him particle He had enough money
to buy team and pillow and build
him shanty on his claim and he
went TO it. The first year he didn't
raise thing except dust. But he
kept right on blowing. He planted
what he plowed in corn and the wind
blew the seed out of the ground. He
had to keep his clothes buttoned tight
to keep the wind from blowing them
off. He fastened his old wool hat to

land carry it up to the end of that 20
foot Irvine string and then it would
gradually lift Bige off his feet and
keep him dangling foot or two from
the ground. He would hang onto the
pillow handles and in that way keep
from blowing away entirely. Well,
he didn't raise anything the second
year, either, Was he discouraged?
Not for minute. He said of course
it would take some time maybe for
the country to develop, but it was
coming all right. The third year he
didn't raise anything. What water
he had he hauled seven miles, and of
course he had to be sparing of moist
ure. He trained himself so that he
could get along without taking drink
of water more than once in three days
and finally got so that he could go
dry for week. A camel hadn't much
edge on him. But | noticed when l
would see him occasionally that there
was change coming over him. These
scientists tell me that man in his nat
ural state is mostly water For in
stance, if he weighs 100 pounds there
is, say, about Is or 20 pounds of solid
matter and the rest is water. Well.
Bige was big man when he went out

mate there was 20 or maybe 20 pounds

30 pounds shy on weight. That rep

had evaporated. The second year he
lost so pounds more. Looked as big |

as ever, but that much more moisture
had evaporated. The third year was
worse than either of the other two.
The temperature was about ITO in
the shade for more than six months
at stretch. At the end of the year
he only weighed 35 pounds. He was a
curious sight. His skin hung on his
frame like linen buster on a hat
rack. He had got to be so light that
the only way he could keep from blow
ing away in the wind was to tie his
pants tight round his ankles and then
pour sand inside of his shirt and pants
till they were full. Was he discour-
aged? Not on your life. This may
seem a little discouraging,' he said,
but when this drouth breaks, this
country is going to boom and the man
will be in luck who is right here to
take advantage of it. But Bige met
with an accident. One day he was
out in. the wind walking round with
about $50 pounds of sand inside of
his clothes when the strings at the
bottom of his pants broke and the
sand ran out. Bige was busy with
and didn't notice till the
sand had nearly all run out He made
a grab at the bottom of his pants,
but it was too late. There he was
only weighing 80 or 35 pounds with
frame enough so that he ought to
have weighed 200 The wind caught
him. He tried to grab something to
hold him down, but it was too late
| happened to be riding near by when ,
he started up. 1t was too late to do
for him. He just sailedf
away in the wind like feather. AS
he sailed along he looked down and
saw me. Was he discouraged? He
was not. Looking down from the
heighths he waved his hand and there
came floating down the wind these
words, When the rain comes this
will be the doggondest best farming

PERSONAL PENALTY.

One of the strongest and most com
mendable feature Of President Will
sons trust message is his advocacy
of personal punishment for violators
of the antitrust law Commenting
on this portion Of the message, the
Portland 0regonian says:
Having laid out the path in which
business shall walk, Mr.. Wilson would
increase the certainty that the penal
ties of departure therefrom will be
imposed and will fall on the real of
fender. We are to have no more
fines of corporations TO be collected
finally from their unwilling or I'M
conscious customers. Guilt is TO be
personal II corporation offends,
the official who committed or insti-
gated the act is TO be fined or inn
prisoned Individuals injured by UNI
lawful acts Of combinations may make
conviction in government suit tne
basis for personal suits for damages.
Thus while guilt is TO be personal, n
nancial responsibility for its conse-
quences is to be corporate. Corpora
tons are thus 10 have powerful in

the path of legality and not for
tempting them to leave it and, when
caught. for shifting the blame to them
personally.
Mr.. Wilson's message is indeed a
pledge of "the peace that is honor
and freedom and prosperity" This
peace is honor, for il insures that our
leaders in business will be changed
from outlaws to honorable citizens.
II insures freedom, for competition will
revive and new men, new energies,
a new spirit of initiative and new
blood" will come into the management
Of business. 1t insurcs prosperity, for
II will drive away the clouds Of fear
and doubt which have hung over the
land.
Let us hope that the optimistic de-
ductions Of the oregonian may be
correct.
