AN INVASION FROM THE SOUTH

AN INVASION FROM THE SOUTH
Fourscore San Francisco business
men, heads or high officials OF the
principal wholesale. manufacturing
and banking houses of the city at the
Golden Gate, will visit for a few
hours in Grants Pass the latter part
Of this week. They are members of
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce, making up the Wholesale
Trade Excursion to southern Oregon
in the interest OF furthering and
strengthening their business relations
The Californians request Of cities
visited that no formal entertainment
be provided for them, as they prefer
to visit personally the places of bus
mess through which they deal, OBJ
serve conditions at first-hand, take
up any troublesome matters which
may best be settled by personal at
tention, and in general, establish
closer business lines connecting this
part Of the country with the great
distributing center to the south.
This means much to all southern
Oregon. 1t means that business men
in the south, ever alive to grasp the
first opportunity in the progress OF
business, will see for themselves
what we have been trying to tell
them. They cannot confine their
observations to the regions back OF
the counter or in the bankers Of
flee. They must surely be impress
sed by the abundant indications OF
vast resources yet undeveloped, OF
in the course OF development. When
these men see business opportunities
and promise Of extension they lose
little time in mapping out the chan
nels Of business to flow in their direc
ton. 1t follows that after next week
they will busy themselves mappinl

PRES, WILSON MUST
BREAK DEADLOCK

Washington. Aug. l9.--President
Wilson still has serious problem to
solve II he Is to prevent a national
railroad strike.
That was the situation when 81
railway presidents prepared to leave
their hotels today for the White House
where President Wilson waited to go
over the matter once more With them.
They had not slept lot. most Of them
having been engaged In conferences
Of their own up to late hour last
night
The upshot Of their conferences was
not to accept the presidents pro-
posal for settlement OF the contro-
versy with the employees. They were
prepared to hold out for arbitration.
they said.
In q lengthy statement OF their
position. which they had ready to lay
before President Wilson. the rail-
road heads claim they cannot yield
the principle OF arbitration. They
desire peace, they say. but declare
such peace must be built upon arbitra-
ton.
II appears that the situation, n
II Is to be solved must result now In
mutual concessions. The railroad ex-
ecutives are willing to do this. The
employees, II became known today. are
willing also to tarry while and con
slider the question OF possible trades. ="
President Wilson let It be under
stood he Is determined the situation
shall not get away from him. He
wants a settlement and It is under
stood he has not yet reached the end
Of his resources. There was more
talk today that he would appeal to
the directors OF the roads and some Of
the biggest financial interest back
OF them---as a court OF last resort.
The most likely plan in view, how
ever, was the formation Of an entirely
new proposition to present to both
sides. There is no question that the
railroads will not yield to the eight
hour plan, unless It's inauguration Is
preceded by thorough investigation
by an impartial commission to prove
its application to railroad operation.
The railroads are willing they say,
to submit to such an investigation at
the hands OF the interstate commerce
commission, board appointed by the
president, or any other body capable
OF acting.
Their contention is that before they
can raise rates, they must submit to
investigation and, therefore, they
raise salaries--or make a change
equivalent to this--they should be en-
titled to an investigation. To yield
without this investigation. they claim,
would prejudice later appeals to the
interstate commerce commission for
increased rates.

Error Corrected.

An error in computing the common school fund apportionment last Sep tember, which cost the schools of Howard county s2,46645, was correct ed by the Department of Public h. struction, which sent an order to the county for the money out of deposit recently made in the fund from the sale of school land in Jefferson coun- ty. When the apportionment for the county was made the negro school population was committed. Thus the county received it's per capita share of the fund only for the white chil- dren. The error was not discovered until after the money had been paid out

GENERAL LEGISLATIVE CONFER ENcEs ARE SCHEDULED TO
 TAKE PLACE IN CITY.
STATE BOARDS PROGRAMMES
1t 10 Said Bill Has Been Drafted Pro- posing Changes in Control of State Charitable institutions, Seeking to
 Eliminate Them From Politics.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Several legislative conferences are scheduled to take place in Little Rock the week following the election. Sen ators and representatives representing the two factions seeking to control the organization of the Legislature are at the head of the movements. Brough is unquestionably in the ma jority in the contests for speaker and chief clerk of the house. Parties who have given the matter considerable study claim that Dr. Brough will have from 20 to 30 majority in the lower house. Conditions are somewhat diff feYent in the Senate, but it is practi- cally conceded that the incoming gov er1for will have safe majority in se- lecting the organization. This does will take a hand in the organization, but his friends are becoming more active daily and claim that the Senate will be in control of the friends of the administration. With the organiza- tion favorable to him the new gov ernor will have but little trouble in securing the passage of bills favorable to the policies he advocated on the stump when he was seeing the guber material nomination. From present indications important changes will take place in the organization of the various state boards. A bill has al- ready been drafted proposing radical trol of the state charitable institu- tions, seeking to eliminate them alto gether from politics. Dr. Brough has already given his approval of the measure.
