VITAL INTERESTS INVOLVE
Each Individual of COOPERATIVE a.
ganization Must Make Interest,"
Of Company His Own.
CBv r III. HIRRARD1

tBy q. II. H1BBARD)
II is evident from the facts OF A.
operation now in effect that farms-
will cooperate in matters in whs
they are deeply interested. and will h
fuse, or fail, to cooperate in matte,
in which they have but a secondary n
terest. For example, the orange gro,I
ers of California run a remarkably an.
cessful cooperative company. TN
dairy farmers of the upper Mississipu
valley have great number Of success,
full creameries and cheese factorie,
On the contrary, the farmers Of IN.
Middle West grow great deal OF fruh
but they do not in many instances ~
operate in its marketing. Likewis.
the farmers of southern Iowa, Of NIL
souri,, and of Kansas, milk many COW,
but in these sections cooperative dainI
organizations do not flourish. To NJ
a good member Of a cooperative conf
pany each individual must feel that IA,
interests are those of the company ana
its interests his. Otherwise the eol
operative company will be given bud
| little attention. He must think M
terms of the association.
An apple grower knows apples ana
gets his living by selling them. It n
of vital concern to him whether n
gets dollar or dollar and a quarts
box for his crop, while to the aver
age Iowa or Illinois farmer the pric,
of apples is of little moment. How
ever, a margin of five cents a bushd
on grain to them often makes the an
ference between profit and loss.
There are abundant exceptions /,
this general proposition so far as men
numbers of associations go. For eI
ample, the cooperative telephones an,
the mutual insurance companies an
numerous. These companies involv
so little farm finance however, tn,
they can and are run without mud
attention from the average farme
They are good things, but enter yeF
little into the ups and downs of fam
ing.
Thus it might almost be said Ii,
the business which lends itself to q
operative action is either that in whic
the farmer has the greatest concern,
that in which his concern is constr
but very slight, and which can be n
with little or no attention from Il
. majority of farmers involved.

COOPERATING ON MACHINERY
Many Threshins Clubs Organize
Throughout country-owners Get
Work Done at Cost.

There are threshing clubs organ
lied all over this country" says E. T.
Robbins, agriculturist Of Tazewell
county. Illinois. Many of these clubs
own their threshing outfits on a share
basis, and the outfit is used to thresh
for the members Of the club. This
makes it possible for them to do their
threshing at cost and do it when they
get ready. without waiting from week
to week until a private outfit comes
around to them. There are also some
silo filling outfits and few corn she'll
ers owned by groups of men co-opera-

Of the Oceanic Line steamer Ventura

The Ventura, the purser says, en-
countered very little rough weather
on the trip, the worst part of the voy-
age being between Sydney and Page
Pago, American Samoa This was
the first call OF a northbound Oceanic
steamer at Page Page for IL months.
and accounts for days delay in the
arrival OF the vessel here. The Ven.
tura took mail at Page Page, a dis.
agreement with the postofflce authori.
ties having been settled and con-
tract signed to take mail to and from
the Samoan islands.

ment here, which consisted of 300

HARBOR NOTES

Among the vessels that are expect
ed to arrive here at any time is the
Marion Chilcott, bringing oil for the
Associated on Company.
On account OF being unable to pass
through the Panama canal, the steam
er Canine has sold its coal cargo to
the United States government at Co
lon.
Many passengers are expected on
the Matson steamer Matsonia, which
will arrive here Tuesday morning. She
has 500 tons Of cargo for Honolulu
and 1870 for Hilo.
Paint Is to be applied to the interior
of the custom-house, something which
was first erected. N Stecher has
been given the contract for the job.
A $4,000 salvage claim by the port
or Portland for rescuing the Peruvian
bark Judith and, towing her into port
has been submitted, but Capt Bardi
says it is exhorbitant and he will not
pay it.
Passenger lists OF the Oceanic.
Steamship Company are printed In
gorgeous colors, the central piece OF
the folder being purple sea, green
shore lines and an orange-gold sky,
bearing under 1t the legend Sunset
Calm. Honolulu"
November was q slack month in re-,
gard to the number of vessels arriving
here, there being q total of but Al.
October brought 81, September 55,
August so, July S.. and June SO. The
slight showing for November Is caused
by the blockade IN the Fanai0A Canal
In the U. s. Coastwise trade the
canal route is from 1868 to 8940 miles
shorter than the 'roiite through the
STRAIT OF Magellan, depending On the
ports between which the voyages are
made. From New York to San Fran
cisco is 1852 miles by the canal, 49,
135 by Magellan.
With . wrecking crew and 4reck-
ing gear aboard, the steamer HChehalis,
IN command Of Capt J.. iKettieson, sail
ed recently from San Francisco for
Papeete, Tahiti, to salvage the Ger
man steamer Walkuere, a 25004on
vessel which was sunk In the. harbor
of the French port shortly after the
war broke out.
Inquiries made by. the Pacific-Alas-
ka Navigation Company through the
customs department at Victoria, B. c.,
relative to port charges and regula-
lions, would indicate that the owners
of the Admiral Line have under con-
sideration the inclusion of Victoria as
q port Of call by steamers plying in
the coasting service out of Seattle.
Portland is behind on all off-shore
shipments Of grain and Hour this sea-
son, due to the lack of tonnage. The
grain dookssare piled high with grain,
the tracks lined with filled cars and
the interior warehouses still full The
season thus far has resulted in an
800 ,000-bushel shortage in United
Kingdom shipments and $4,000 in
California. Flour shipments have
been light and hardly changed over
last year.

CONFERENCE REPORT ON
BURNETT BILL ADOPTED
Vote of 227 to 90 Indicates House
Would Be Able to Pass Bill
Over Presidents Veto.

The House today adopted the con-
ference report on the Burnett immigra-
tion bill. the principal feature of which
is the much discussed provision lit
eracy test" Although it has been stated
that the President would veto the bill
il it contained this clause, the vote
for the conference report was 227 to SO.
This was taken by the friends of the
bill to indicate that the necessary two
thirds might be obtained in the House
in the case of a veto by the President
unless the veto message of the Presi-
dent should contain something to
change the minds of the members.
The literacy test Is designed at keep
ing out what Is estimated to be 300, 900
undesirable aliens a year, and pre-
scribes form of examining immigrants
by very simple educational test.
The vote on the bill was not divided
according to party lines. each man
voting in manner that would be
pleasing to his constituents. Members
with large alien constituencies voted
against the bill. Before the vote was
taken. Representative Goldfogle of
New York declared that the literacy
clause test is un-American. Represent
ative Gallagher of Illinois declared
that the bill does not contain an effec-
tive method for medical inspection and
charged that the ship trust" had in
huenced the committee in framing the
medical inspection section.
