Mooney remembered me when l

four or five years since we had met.

series of articles upon the railroads.
Now l was merely claimant upon
his hospitality for the sake of old
times. l had had longing to feel
the sweep of the wind from inside OF

by. And the man in charge of GA was
Mooney.
He knew me, as l said, and pres

Markham at Savannah, but returned from Birmingham to the Georgia city. Mir. Markham was not pessimstic oveg condi- tions, but said frankly that there had not been any very marked change in the business volume in the south.
 There has been gradual improvement in all sections that we touch except in the south, where the conditions are not nor mal," said Mr. Markham. Tn the other sections business has about reached 2 normal stage, and the people are pros- porous. The conditions in the south will get better from now on l believe, and the indications point to readjustment of the situation slowly but surely. The H. lnois Central railroad has no intention at this time of making any extensive Improvements. The company has .in- quiries out for 25,000 tons of rail which are expected to be secured very soon The order will be placed within short time. Birmingham will very naturally secure some of that business.
 MT. Winburn said in his opinion busi- ness was getting better and that there would be steady climb back to normal He was of the opinion that the exporta- ton of cotton, as it is noticeable now, was helping considerable.

OPPOSES
TAX ON POLICY FOR
LIFE INSURANCE

San Francisco. Oct. 5.--Taxation
OF insurance policies was denounced
as tax on thrift by United States
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman OF IL
linois at today's session OF the
Worlds Insurance congress. Sher-
man presided over the meeting.
Insurance" said Senator Sher-
man. "is one OF the greatest instru-
ments to promote self-support and
protect the family known to civilized
society. The legislator who secs in
1t only an enterprise to be burdened
whenever taxes are to be laid has not
analyzed well the relation between
national strength and private indi-
vidual support. the solvency Of the
family or It's responsible head"
He urged that policy holders or
ganize to protest against the imposi-
tion OF double taxation" He also
advocated national uniformity OF re-
-gulations affecting the insurance busi-
ness and suggested an amendment to
the federal constitution which will
permit congress to handle the sub
ject.

WAR MAKES PRICE
OF MEATS HIGHER
IN UNITED STATES

Chicago, Oct. 5.-American house
wives are paying part of the cost Of
the war, according to John T. Russell,
former president Of the National Mas
ter Butchers association. In an in
terview with the United Press today
on the subject OF recently increased
meat prices, Russell said that heavy
demands of exporters to fill war or
ders Is making shortage in America.
Meat prices today" he declared,
"are up from three to five cents the
pound. Some grades can not be had
at all. The only excuse for 1t is that
the packers are selling so much to
the warning nations that there Is a
shortage here. The natural conse-
quence, OF course, is higher prices
to American housewives"
Russell agreed with Edward Levy,
ex-president Of the Chicago Master
Butchers association, that the fresh
er domestic meats are being sent
abroad while Argentine meat in great
quantities, that has been longer in
storage, is being sold to American
consumers.

CONTENDERS FOR
DIAMOND HONORS
ARE At EVEN TERMS
(By United Press Leased wire.)


New York, Oct. 5.-The Red Sox
and Phillies will face each other on
the worlds series battlefield at prac-
tically even terms. From odds Of 10
to s, and 10 to s, on Boston week
ago. the betting has been brought
to even money, with little real coin
in sight.
The decline in the sports estimate
of Bosten's prowess was the more ap-
parent today. following her double
defeat yesterday at the hands Of the
Highlanders. The fans were plainly
disappointed. Manager Carrigan had
worked his two best bets--Leonard
and Foster-and they went down to
.ignominious defeat. Leonard. par
ticularly, cracked under the strain,
and was forced to retire from the
mound in the sixth after he had al
lowed nine hits and five runs.
furthermore, the Boston aspirants
for world honors played mediocre
ball.
The weather will play a big part
in the coming series. The mighty
Grover Alexander will twirl for the
Phillies in the first game. Then II
he wins, as is expected, and 1t should
rain Saturday, the Quaker nine would
be in soft position, for then the
lanky Nebraskan would be in the
harness again Monday. thus increas-
ing the Phillies' chances OF coping
the banner.

out the first ball Saturday. and he
may have with him several OF his

OREGON wEATHER
Mr.. HAwLEy AND THE HARBoR,

Mr.. HAWLEY AND THE HARBOR.
The Port Oxford Tribune takes ex-
ception to the statement Of Congress-
man Hawley. representing this dis
trict. that he would do all in his
power to see that the interests Of the
people Of southern Oregon were pro-
tected." speaking of the proposed
federal improvement Of the Crescent
City harbor. Mr.. Hawley could say
no less. Though the Crescent City
harbor is located over the line on
the California coast, it will serve
more people In Oregon than in Cali
fornia. Its greatest need is for the
development of Oregon resources. and
the Oregon delegation in congress
owes It to its constituency to support
the Crescent City harbor improve
ment Just as loyalty as though it was
upon 0regon's coast line. The people
of southern Oregon are expecting
that Hawley will do ''all in his power"
to support this harbor improvement.
Grants Pass has alrady spent $780,
600, and other thousands that will
total millions are now being spent
in the building of railroad to Cres-
cent City. Without the harbor i'm
provement there would be little in
centive for men of capital to invest
in railroad that could not connect
with deep sea vessels when 1t reaches
tide water. The improvement Of the
harbor is a commercial and an in
dustrial necessity, land through it
will drain the traffic from a great
territory that can reach tide water
in no other direction.

PROMOTING OREGON.
Oregon Journal.)


The made in Oregon" campaign
possesses strength only when the ar
ticles offered or the attractions ex-
plotted have worth and price that
compare favorably with the offerings
OF competitive districts
Quality standards are not main
tanned when sentiment solely prompts
purchases.
Business has never permanently
succeeded on sentimental basis.
But there are products Of the soil
and the manufactories-the are at
fractions of scenery. and climate-in
which Oregon excels.
1t is right that our people should
learn what these things are, learn
where they may be found, use the
products. patronize the industries and
exploit our advantages to the furthest
boundaries of their respective spheres
Of influence.
1t was a shock when It was shown
that Portland buys cherries grown in
Oregon--but preserved In New York
at $1.20 pound. 1t was discon-
certing when but one man of an au-
dience Of nearly two hundred admit
ted he was wearing suit OF Oregon
woolens.
It was an experience not yet re-
covered from when the hotel clerks
and the ticket agents and the in
formation bureau attendants we're un-
able to answer the simplest questions
about the scenic attractions of Port
land and the state.
II Is a contribution to optimism
when an organization like the adver-
tising club OF Portland announces in
tention to conduct campaigns that
will make the world know more about
and seek more Of the products in
which we excel.
