CARNATIONS.
Special study will be made OF the
German cartel system, under which
combinations Of capital have been fos-
tered. American manufacturers have
argued at hearings before the com.
mission that they should be allowed
to form combinations for economy
and efficiency in the export trade, an
action which they considered of doubt
full legality under the Sherman anti
trust law unless Specific legislative
sanction were given. In q series OF
able articles written for and printed
in a leading law journal published in
Washington, Congressman Hunter H.
Moss quite recently discussed this
question. He argued that such com.
binations were not in conflict with the
Sherman law. The articles attracted
widespread attention and stirred up
controversy which is still in pro.
gress.
But the chief aim OF the inyestiga-
ton above referred to, the officials
say, will be to aid American export
ers in extending their foreign trade.
1t is one Of the dominant aims of
the government, and in the forthcom-

in almost every big bill that is de.

cations and sidelines that extend in

take much notice of things. Give US
that recitation again.
Capt PaUl's daughters were having
an afternoon party in the house on
the hillside overlooking the sea. The
captain had retired with cOmpe-
tence ten years before, but it had
been heartbreaking work and half
dozen times he had lost all in ship
wrecks and had started life again.
And his wife had not lived to see the
prosperity which at last came to him
as the result of a successful whaling
adventure.
The captain sat dreaming on his
porch most of the time, staring out
at the sea. He did not hear the young
people in general, but he had heard
Myra's words.
81 guess I'm old and done for" he
said to himself, a little bitterly. well
I'm glad they won't have to struggle
along as Mary and struggled for
years"
He thought of their life in the little
seaport cottage, of his mOnths'-long
absences at sea, of the lonely woman
who cared for the home and babies
when he was gone, of those home
comings, sometimes with fair pros
perity, often with nothing.
The bitterness of life had eaten
into his soul when he was a young
man. Now, in old age, he had moth
ing to enjoy in life.
81 wish he muttered to himself.
And it seemed to him that the
smoke from his pipe curled in Gu
rious, hazy wreath that filled the air
and obscuTed the vision.
And out of the wreath emerged a
woman's foTm-a beautiful woman,
with something in her eyes that at
once soothed and awed him.

her say.

Bryan's Plea for Five MexiCans
Needed by Arizona Pardon Board

Phoenix, Ariz.-After every lega
recourse had failed, the mercy plea Of
William j. Bryan, secretary of state,
which had been rejected by the state
legislature, proved potent to save the
lives of the five Mexicans who were tc
have been hanged at Florence peniten-
tiary.
At the last moment the state board
of pardons and paroles, taking cogni-
zance of Mr.. Bryan's request for de-
lay, ordered reprieves of nine weeks
for all of the condemned men and rec
commended that they be executed sep
arately and not together, as was in
tended.
Whether they will be executed at all
depends, however, on the success at
tending future moves in Governor
Hunts five-year struggle to abolish
the death penalty in Arizona.
The condemned men had been bound
and made ready for the plunge through
the gallows trap, when the board of
pardons and paroles made known it's
decision to grant delay. The de-
cision was expressed in a resolution
adopted after session lasting all
morning. This resolution declared
that the secretary of state had seen fit
to recommend reprieves, in view of
the executions on American interests
in Northern Mexico, the board had
concluded to recommend delay.

Cereal Crops Are Doing Well.

The following summary of weather
and its results on the condition of the
principal crops in Oregon for the week
ending May 25, 1915, is based upon in
vestigations made by a number of cor
respondents reporting to the Portland
office of the Weather Bureau:
Showers fell every day in the week
in the Western counties, and on two
or more days in the Eastern portions
of the state. There was much cloudi-
ness, and in consequence the day tenn
peratures were unusually low, but the
night temperatures were about normal
and no damaging frosts were reported.
The weather was especially favor
able for fall and spring-sown cereals,
legume hay crop, pasture and ranges.
Fall wheat is now in the boot and in
some places it has begun to head. On
low lands in the Willamette valley the
rains have caused some fields of grain
to turn yellow. Weeds are getting
troublesome and there has not been
enough dry weather to enable the
farmers to do as much cultivation as
necessary. The weather has also been
too cool for corn to make much prog
ress and it has been very injurious to
strawberries, which have rotted on the
vines and in transit. Other fruit is
ioing nicely, except in a few locali-
lies where fungus has made its appear
ance on the apples.

remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
