WaScO Apple Estimates

Apples of the Mosier district. accor-
ding to E. r. Jackman, Wasco county
agent, will total about $4,000 boxes.
Last year the crop was about l25.OOO
boxes. all of which was marketed
through the Mosier Fruit Growers As
sociation and brought $3.50, 600. The
decrease is attributed to the freeze of
last winter and other unfavorable con-
ditiOns.
"In Dufur," Mr. Jackman says,
"the conditions are exactly reversed,
and this district will pack just twice
as much fruit as last season.

NATATOR|UM IS
COMPLETELY COVERED

BAKER, Nov. 19.-Rapid progress
has been made during the last few
weeks on the Baker Municipal Natato-
rum and with all the necessary ma
terial now on hand it is the opinion
of the city commissioners that water
will be flowing through the plunge in
short time.
The completion of the roof on the
building was brought about this week
and the carpenters are now busy plac-
ing all of the windows in the building
When this work is finished by the end
of the week everything will be In read
mess for the laying of the floor in the
plunge.
The cement shortage held up this
work for some time and since the
rainy weather set in 1t was deemed ad-
visable to wait for the completion Of
the roof The floor work will proba-
bly, commence Monday and as soon as
the concrete is set everything will be
ready to receive the water from the
Sam-O springs.
The entire completion OF the build
ing will not be possible at present, due
to the difference in costs since the vot-
ing of the bonds. The construction
work will be advanced far enough,
however to enable the use of the
plunge and the minor parts of the
structure will be completed at a later
date, it was announced at the city hall
by Mayor Gardner.

of the department Of psychology of the
University of Oregon. has prepared a
series of tests to determine the kind
and frequency of optical illusions
which affect proofreaders. 1t is a well
known fact that errors are frequently
found in printed matter even though
it has passed through the hands of ex-
perienced and capable proof-readers
This phenomenon is thought to be
due to one or another of several sorts
Of optical illusions says DR.. Crosland
"A proofreader, for example, may
think he sees letters where nothing but
white space actually exists; or he may
fail to see transposed letters in a word: /:

ANOTHER WARNING.

The recent explosion which rocked New York's
financial CENTER killing and nuring several hundred
people, brings wildly to mind the San Francisco and
Los Angeles bomb outrages and the lenency which
has been shown the perpetrators in each case
In every Of the bomb explosions it has been
aboring men and women who were killed.
And yet find organized labor in Great Britain,
in our own country and in Canada passing resolutions
and demanding that radical political prisoners be re-
leased and that the various governments recognize
revolutionary leaders in differen parts of the world
all Of whom if given power would overthrow every
vestge of law order and property rights in the in
terest of organized lawlessness.
We think safe in this country and that our
industry and wealth is protected, when all the time
allowing yellow journals, yellow politicians
individual destructionests and breed of preach
of discomfort to undermine public conscious
with their appeals to class hatred and revolution
A sound public consciousness is the rock foundation
upon which government is built. If allow this
to be undermined whole governmental structure
may crumble when we least expect it.
In this presidential year of the most import
ant in our history witness less interest in the cleo
ton than has ever before been manifested.
The New York catastrophe may help bring the

COX'S ATTITUDE TOWARD LABOR

Advocating the right of labor to organize, Gov
ernor James NJ Cox, the Democratic candidate for
president, in his western campaign tour contended
that the methods of handling disputes between labor
and capital developed during his governorship of
Ohio be applied to national we'll as state sit
uations.
Gas long work for hire, - declared the Gov
ernor, "there will be differences of opinion between
those who labor and those who employ labor. Indus
trial disputes cannot be avoided but industrial dis
putes can be prevented from menacing the welfare
OF the nation when both parties to the dispute be
made to understand that government is fair and that
neither one nor the other may gain an advantage"
eve found something in Ohio that was better than
bayonets, and used it. 1t the golden rule 1t
worked in Ohio, and it will work in the nation.
Labor should have the right to organize and
through representatives of their own choosing ne
gotiate collective bargains This right has been
denied capital Care must be exercised that govern
ment at no time be made oppressive in maintaining
the laws of the land. The right to free cpeech and
free press and the right of orderly assembly guaran
teed by the Constitution, must be fringed.'

BIG WESTERN POWER PROGRAM.

The water power act of Congress means more to
the west unless Handicapped by restrictive rules and
regulations than any law ever passed.
It means Harvesting wasting water power equi-
valent to steam generated from burning 100000
tons of coal and transferring manufacturing to the
west. .
Possible horse power development is credited to
western states as follows: California; 925O,OO0;
Oregon, 100000; Washington, 9,500.000 Idaho, g.,
100000; Montana, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, g.,
100000 each; Arizona, 100000.
No other statement is needed to emphasize the
significance Of the event which. declares for the
Hest practicable of the vests power resources
Coal operatives of the east still restless. Their
wages are high. Railways struggle night and day to
get only part of the coal needed to the big power
plants of industry
Factories in large number crutail and close because
of the shortage of coal not to speak of its price.
Congress delayed enacting water power bill for
ten years at the behest of the Pnchot school of
servationists, and thus blocked western develop

VOLUNTARY MEDIATION.

Salem, Ore, city and district, with large lumber,
paper, fruit and wooden mil industries, has become
a strikeless community.
Questions of wages, working hours, housing and
sanitary conditions affecting labor settled by
voluntary mediation.
The city and district comprises about thirty thou
sand population and has rural and city industries,
labor unions and loggers legion.
This system accepted by the federation of
labor selecting three representatives of labor and the
employers selecting three.
These six serving without pay deal with any mat
ter voluntarily brought before them by consent of
both labor and employing interests.
Their findings after full heang by argument and
presentation of all the facts binding both sides
but subject to appeal.
In case of a deadlock seventh man is chosen I'M
animously and then majority decides, all decisions
being by secret ballot.
This system Obviates settlement by any political
interference the part of state national wage
boards or arbitration bodies
The system known voluntary mediation is be-
ing established in Great Britain and is growing fast
in this country. It is inexpensive.
