inter Haven Man RecOunts Recent
Visit to island

The following is CLEANED from the
)lumns of the Florida hief of Win
r Haven:
II. E. Cornell Of the Glen st. Mary
ursery o. has just returned from q
lip to Porto Rico. While on the is
md he visited several large groves
nd reports that conditions there ara
| some ways better and in others not
} good as in this section, in regards
the citrus industry
The output of the island is in the
eighborhood of one million boxe,
nnually. Grapefruit is grown more
extensively than oranges and the Por-
70 Rican grower can put some of his
rop Of this fruit on the market in
he States about month earlier than
can the Florida grower. There is no
regular defined rainy season but an
abundant rainfall. In the mountains
as high as 14O inches yearly and the
coastal regians where groves are To-
Gated from 60 to so inches. Blooms
generally follow a heavy rain occur
ring after a short drouth. Ususlly a
bloom in early January, then one in
late March,
The quality Of the fruit is excellent
but it does not color as readily as in
Florida on account Of no cool
weather.
No red scale or white fly seen.
The Porto Rican grove owner new
er worries over possible cold dam
age. The lowest temperature ever re-
corded being so degrees.
The amount of good citrus land is
very limited. A few of the groves are
in good shape but most of them show
great neglect. The packing houses
use modern machinery, the same as
Florida houses and turn out a goot
pack.
The Citrus Exchange of Porto Rice
shipping the Tropico brand, is doini
for the industry on the island VIVA
our own Exchange is doing in Flor
ida and works along the same lines
There are also many Independent
shippers running their own houses
One drawback with which the Port,
Rican grower has to contend is poo
transportation facilities, as they ar
entirely dependent on STEAMSHIP
lines. Especially was 1t hard to ge
space during the war. This condition
is now better and the addition Of sew
eral large steamers bids fair to rem
edy the condition. The time Of ship
ment is four full days to New York.
Taken as a whole the citrus indus
try In Porto Rico is not in as pro
gressive and successful a state as
is here in Floridt, and nowhere nearl
as extensive.

COUNTY BILL is
CALLED SUPERFLUOUS

The Oregonian believes the bill re.
Gently passed by the legislature. pro-
viding for the initiation Of legislation
by counties, and the application of the
referendum, is superfuous. In an edi-
torial of Monday the Oregonian saws ::
One of the curious pieces of legisa-
tion adoped by the recent legislature
was senate bill l65, which purports to
grant initiative and referendum powers
to the people of counties as to local
laws.
There is now no county code or set
of ordinances. Local county laws that
exhibit are acts of the legislature per
tanning to such matters as county Off
GERS salaries, legal fences, stock run
ming at large and hunting restrictions.
Whether the author of the bill eX-
pected that it would apply to such
enactments has not been disclosed, for
the measure passed without debate.
Possibly 1t is expected that the law
Will permit the people to apply the
referendum to resolutions Of the county
commissioners fixing tax levies and to
routine procedure, or 1t may be in
tended to permit creation of new
local code affecting tax exemptions,
grazing rights, highway traffic and
numerous other matters to the end
that the state will be made up Of
thirty-six principalities.
Yet the new law does no more than
prescribe method of procedure, ap-
plying for the purpose chapter of
the code already written, which pre-
scribes forms and procedure for direct
legislation by the people of the state
and Of cities and towns. The supreme
court has already held that this chap
ter is sufficiently broad to permit the
Port of Portland, which is municipal.
lty, but not state, city or town, to
operate hereunder. The county is
also a municipality, and if the chapter
is broad enough to include ports it is
broad enough without additional legis.
lation, to include counties in the per-
torrance of functions not prohibited by
constitution. Certainly legislative
enactment cannot extend to a county
law making powers that are not con.
stitutonal, but the constitution now
reserves to all municipalities ''initia
tive and referendum powers as to
local. special and municipal legislation
of every character.
Whatever the purpose of the new
act it serves to draw attention to the
sweeping provision of the constitution
last cited If the new law has detrl
mental purpose that purpose has al
ready been conceded by vote of the
people. 1t opens no new way to either
good or mischief. Anything that car
be accomplished under it could have
been accomplished without it. 1t ap

The hundred workers were on the

Tell Great War History

Mt. Gretna, Pa, June 11.-Ofhcers
of the Pennsylvania Reserve Mill
rita, here for weeks tour of in
struction, yesterday morning heard
recounted, with much elaboration of
detail, the part several Pennsylvania
organizations of troops played in
the offensive against the Teutonic
armies in the Argonne Forest. The
speakers were Colonel Edward c.
Shannon, former commander of the
Fourth Infantry of the old National
Guard of Pennsylvania, who came
back from France several weeks ago
at the head of the 111th Infantry,
and Colonel Frederic A. Snyder, who
organized the 103rd Engineers and
led that organization through the
war.
Colonel Snyder during the day eX-
hibited several specimens of German
explosives, including hand-grehade,
known as turtle" and showed how
they were manipulated to entice the
American curiosity, and described
how they exploded as soon as touch
ed by strange hands.
General Charles T. Cresswell, COM
mander of the brigade, stated this
evening that Governor William c.
Sproul is expected to be in camp on
Thursday.

of comparatively early decision on
the reply to Germany. 1t was said
an agreement in principle had been
reached on the reparation clauses to
the effect that no definite sum to be
paid by Germany would be fixed in
the Treaty and that the question
would be left virtually as in the orr
ginal draft.
In French circles it is stated that
the Treaty, as again submitted to
the Germans, would be much less
altered than had been generally sup
posed. The determination of France
not to consent to any material
changes in the Treaty was clearly
defined after the meeting of the
Council of Four.
In spite of the attempt to speed
up the work of the Peace Confer
ence reports are still unavailable
from commissions dealing with
Schleswig- Holstein, the eastern
boundaries of Germany, the Belgian

Overhanging clouds had no effect
on to-day's parade of Red Men, the
big feature of the seventieth annual
meeting of the tribes. Nearly two
score tribes and several thousand
visitors took part either in the pa

parade started from Front and Mar
ket streets at o'clock with thirty
bands in line. 1t was a spectacular
event, gorgeous costumes and real
istic Indian features making it a
notable demonstration. 1t was esti-
mated that there were 1000 men in
line.
Prizes offered for the largest
tribe, finest costumes, best float and
for the tribe coming the longest
distance, brought a large represen-
tation of Red Men. They came from
the four corners of the State, most
of the tribes bringing their own
bands.

ARRANGEMENTS for the big event
were so we'll looked after that there
was no delay in formation of the
parade and the big procession
