Eddie Collins was handed over to
the Whitesox by Connie Mack for $780,
900 and Larry Lajoie was secured
from the Maps to take his place. So
it Is only natural to compare the
work of the men. First figures on
their work show that they are about
even in batting and fielding, but that
Collins is much faster on the bases,
having several stolen sacks to his
credit. Latoie is no doubt slowing up
in this line.

Athletics are more popular now
than any time in the history or the
United States. From all parts OF the
country comes word that more track
and field meets are being held, that
the entries are greater and many new
records are expected to be establish

The track for the monster g IS

are prone to criticize tracks outside OF
the metropolis. But Pittsburgh fol-

conducted here a few years ago. lt
appears as II an athletic revival was

MAKING MORE THAN THE
FARMERS

- HIPS for carrying grain
- from Portland to Europe
have been chartered at
figures as high as 81 shillings.
That means 63 cents per bush
ell freight between Portland
and Europe and over 20 cents
from Pendleton to the Euro
pear port.
These extortionate charges
by the ship owners have much
to do with the vast difference
between Pendleton and Liver
pool prices. The ship owners
are charging more than 40
cents a bushel above their reg
ular carrying rates. They are
making more money out of the
wheat business than do the
farmers who raise the grain.
President Wilson foresaw
this situation and strove to
guard the interests of the pro-
ducers by the passage of a ship
purchase bill which would
have allowed the government
to buy or rent ships and oper-
ate them with a view to stop
ping oppressive rates on our
commerce. Through a persist,
ent filibuster in the senate
handled by the old guard the
bill was kept from passage.
1t seems a safe estimate that
the defeat of the shipping bill
and the subsequent oppressive
rates charged for handling
grain has meant an average
loss of 25 cents per bushel to
the farmers raising wheat. On
this basis Umatilla county far
have lost from a million
to a million and a quarter dol
lars through the filibuster. If
as reported the country has
had a billion bushel wheat crop
then the farmers of the coun-
try have lost approximately
$3.50, 100000 because of the
high charters exacted during
the present season.
The shipping trust knew
what it was about wnen it had
its friends in the senate work
so desperately to prevent pas

THEY ARE TIRED OF 1T

q ONE of the Balkan ma.
S tions have been at war Sc
fiercely in recent years
that in sections there are not
men enough left to run the
farms. The hard work is done
by the women and children.
There are places where men
are as scarce as women were
scarce in the early days of the
west. The peasant girls have
pl0ws and shovels for compan-
ions; their lovers are beneath
the sod.
It is not surprising therefore
that some of the Balkan coun-
tries should prove reluctant
about entering the present
strife. They have been at war
before and war has settled
nothing for them. They no
sooner finish one campaign
than another is upon them.
They would like to escape from
the bloody highway that gets
them nowhere.

CURRENT THINKING
ROBBERY BY PRIZE COURT.
(New York World.)

(NeW YORK World.)
1t has taken the British prize court
ten months to pass upon the case of
four ships carrying American cargoes
OF provisions to Denmark which
were seized last November. This in
itself is an outrage, for every ques-
ton involved could have been de.
termined as easily in ten days as in
| the longer period. By ordering the
confiscation Of goods on the ground
that, although consigned to a neu-
tral port, they were presumably de-
signed to the armed forces of Ger
many, a wrong second only to that
involved in lawless submarine war
fare has been committed.
There is no pretense that the
courts judgment rests upon evil
dence. 1t is supported only by as
sumption. The ships were neutral.
The cargoes were neutral. They
were proceeding from one neutral
country to another No question Cf
contraband was involved, unless it
could be made to appear that the
provisions and other articles We're
not in fact for Denmark but were to
be Immediately transshipped to Ger
many for the actual use of the army,
AS there was no proof that the con-
signment to Denmark was fraudulent
or that if it was going TO Germany it
would reach the army, resort was had
to inference and Imagination. The
learned court that held that the
goods must have had a German mil
itary destination, because no ship
ments in such quantities had ever
before been made to Denmark in time
of peace.
1t must be noted that when these
ships were seized there was not
legitimate pretense that their car
goes were contraband. The British
orders in council which are now op-
rative had not been issued. The
German government had not com
mandeered the food supply of the
empire. The submarine campaign
against British and neutral com
merce had not been inaugurated
With some uncertainty and irregular
ity. Great Britain was revising its
contraband list almost daily, but it
had not touched the subject of civil
ian food. 1t now appropriates as
lawful prize American property
which at the time it was seized
whatever its status might have been
later, was clearly exempt. Making use
of delay to the utmost, it rests its
judgment at last not upon condl-
tions existing when it asserted juris-
diction but upon conjecture like that
which led the Commander Of a u
boat to sink a great liner which he
thought was trying to ram him.

There is Just one other
thing that the Newlons are as
much interested in as in get
ting water for the wonderfully
rich section known as the Ba.
mana Belt" and that is, that
the people of Morrow county
should reap the benefits as far
as possible from this discov-
cry.
"Mr. Newton learned only
last Saturday that there was a
company forming to take over
large tracts of this land. This
company will of course be
made up of spectators, and
this is what the NewlOns are
trying to keep out, and as they
are in a position to get the
choicest of this land for the
bonifide settler or developer at
approximately $3.50 per acre,
on very easy terms, those inter-
ested will not miss it by MAX
ing an early selection for their
future homes in the Banana
Belt of Morrow county"
Indeed it will be we'll to
keep out the speculator and it
will incidentally be fortunate
for the speculator if he is not
allowed in the game very
strongly. One artesian well or
several of them will not mean
an irrigation district with land
at high figures.

MORROW COUNTY'S WELL

# are greatly interested
in the artesian well
that began flowing there a
few days ago. Discussing the
well and some phases of pos
sible future development the
Gazette-Times says:
"The artesian water devel-
oped by the Newlons in Nor

dent as many such discoveries
are, but was the result of per-
sistent effort of three years OF
hard work in the sinking of
many wells to determine the
true geological formation of
this section of the country.
Their success in producing this
valuable we'll has been pheno-
menal insofar as they have had
to overcome what would be to
many, insurmountable obsta-
cles.

Sell Live Chicks For Esstsr.

during the present week. hundreds OF
the fluffy little peeps" being sold by
downtown dealers. The chicks for
convenience in carrying were usually
placed in small white boxes. in which
air holes were punched and tied neatly
with white or lavender ribbon.
These sell at a quarter each in such
quantities that the supply in some
shops is exhausted. and new lots from
the incubators are ordered.
The practice. though unique, caused
considerable criticism because OF the
fact that the chicks were bought large
ly for the amusement OF children. The
early death Of the tender gifts in the
hands of unthinking youngsters is as
sured. and, though the idea in the abb
stract is a pretty one. a continuance or
the custom is expected to meet with
opposition from the Society For the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals.
