Sy Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE. Feb. 11.-Fifty
gallons of alcoholic spirits in ten
five gallon cans were seized by the
Tottenville police at the ferry at the
foot of Bentley street, at ASS
o'clock yesterday afternoon and the
driver of the automobile in which
the cargo was being transported
from Manhattan to Perth Amboy
wos arrested on a charge of violat-
ing the Volstead act in transporting
and having liquor in his possession.
The driver who gave his name as
Robert A. Graham. eighteen years
old, of 175 Perry street, Manhattan,
son of a saloonkeeper at the same
address was taken to the so pre-
cinct station, where Lieutenant
Henry Elfers held him In $500 bail
for his appearance this morning be-
fore United States Commissioner
Barmore. In the post building in
A telephone message to the young
mans father brought word that he
would provide the necessary bonds
for the release of the prisoner. 1t
was $3.50 o'clock last night before
anyone showed UP to give bail for
the young a E.. II. We'll, who
said he was a real estate broker
giving his address as ITS Perry
street, came down and gave cash
balm the sum of five one hundred
dollar bills. The automobile license
number 42.964 New Jersey was said
to belong to William ]. Shear, of
Jersey City. The automobile n de-
labitated Ford was held at the sta
ton house. Graham came to Tot
tenville agin this morning and with
a patrolman took the car and the
ten cans of alcoholic spirits to
Brooklyn. where it will be turned
over to the Federal authorities. The
hold-up was made by Patrolman
Joseph Madden stationed at the
ferry to search all suspicious look
ing machines passing over the ferry.
Patrolman Madden was attracted
by the way the cargo of booze was
coverd with an ordinary blanket
and theweight pulling down on the
springs of the machine. Each can
was neatly done up in card board
and tied with a string. This is the
econd big haul of liquor made by
the T~ottenville police at the ferry
in the past several weeks. Graham
when questioned with regard to who
the r belonged said that he did
not know and that he was to deliver
it to some unknown man in New
Jersey. 1t was thought by the
many questions asked by We'll the
lease the young man that he was
really the owner by the great in
terest he was taking in the matter.

THEY DUG THEIR OWN PIT

TT is asserted by the Oregon Journal, which all along has been
fair to Eastern Oregon with reference to the Wallula road
- fight, that we should not hold Portland responsible for the
action of an "unimportant department Ct the Portland chamber
of commerce" But the actions of the Portland chamber were
not confined to the roads committee headed by Mr.. Ottenhei-
mer. The board of directors of the chamber also acted on the
matter, supporting the roads committee without giving Eastern
Oregon any chance to be heard, though a hearing had been
promised and was being arranged for at the time the directors
met. Therefore the action being by the chambers duly a-
thorized executive board committed the entire Portland cham
Der is against us and since the chamber of commerce represents
the city in a commercial way there is good ground for holding
Portland to blame in the matter. If the chamber has misrepre-
sented the city that is a misfortune which Portlanders must
look after. if they desire harmony between Portland and East
en Oregon. If the behavior of the Portland chamber and Its
road committee increased the hostility to the fair measure the
responsibility rests upon Portland. Ample warning was given
upon that score but the Portland chamber chose to act with in
solent disregard for the interests of this section of the state.

Having observed that the japanese by taking an obstinate
stand forced the limitations conference into allowing the Mutsu,
largest battleship in the world to remain unscrapped, the
French have no doubt seen the ACCESSIBILITY of saying a word for
the French navy. Meanwhile there are people who see less
nenace in French warships than they do in japanese dread
naughts.

1T is AN OREGON LEGISLATURE

wv 7 It'll 80 members of the house pledged to vote against sub
w mission to the people of the SO, 600, 600 property tax for
the Portland fair it may be assumed that the measure is
doomed.
Nor is it at all probable that the legislature will submit an
income tax measure to the people in order to provide for fl
nancing the fair. Mr.. Beams bill calling for such action is as
Lad as the property tax, if not worse. His bill would place the
entire burden of financing the fair upon the state at large, Port
land being taxed no more than any other section. An Eastern
Oregon farmer with an income above $1,000 would have to pay
the same proportionate tax as a Portland merchant or property
owner. Such q scheme is so obviously unfair that argument
thereupon is unnecessary.
The plain facts are that if Portland wishes to hold an eX-I
position, reaping 80 per cent of the benefits thereof, the metrop-
oils must expect to foot the bill. 1t would be proper enough for
the state to provide a good Oregon building at the fair but it is
not equitable to expect upstate men, who in many cases would
lose more than they would gain, to help finance the administra-
tive expenses Of the exposition.
Having decided what to do with the $~3,000,000 property tax
the duty of the legislature with reference to that subject is
ended. The task of providing an alternative method of financ-
ing the fair is upon the shoulders of Portland people, not upon
the Oregon legislature.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
BLAMING
(OreSon Journall

In an article opposing the tax for
the exposition, the Baker Herald says:
MIR, Cleaver has also overlooked the
lmperious demand by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce for the Wallu-
Ia cutoff, an unessential to anyone
and a detriment to the old Oregon
Trail. and the three principal cities in
Eastern Orcson, Ia Graude, pendle-
ton and Baker. This sting is all the
deeper because on no other road has
Portland ever lifted its hand in assist

sponsible for what that department
proposes. Nor is it at all certain that
the urgings of that department will
have effect upon the final decision OF
the state highway commission.
There is much of Portland that
wants to be perfectly fair to the rest
of the state. The mair body of the
people of Portland have that purpose.
To blackball the exposition because of
the position of a few people is to hold
the great body responsible for acts
with which they have had nothing to
do.

OHIO CORN CROP HURT
BY LONG DRY SPELL;
OATS YIELD LOWERED

COLUMBUS, o., July 30.-Corn
prospects are very low in the sections
of the state which had heavy rains III
May and early June, and which have
not received rain in any amount since.
according to reports received from
correspondents by c. ]. West. agri-
cultural statistician. Many fields will
be total failure and all fields have
been seriously injured. The Hooking
valley and some of the northern and
western counties have been literally
supplied with rain, with the result
that prospects there are from fair to
good.
In counties of the western and cen.
trail parts of the state, corn is tassel-
ing out at height from three to fivs
feet lower than is usual The early
corn cannot ear without rain.
1t Is possible, however, for much of
the late corn and for some of th.
early planted corn to ear better than
present appearances indicate, provid-
ed the rainfall is ample during the next
few weeks.
The rains Of the last six weeks in
Ohio have been local in character SO
that comparatively narrow sections in
counties of the northwestern part of
the state show good corn prospects,
while within short distance the corn
is suffering from the drouth. Some
southeastern counties counties show
good prospects for corn and the same
is true Of some of the northwestern
counties
Reports are general of a failure in
the oats crop throughout the state.
The hot, dry weather following the
earlier heavier rains apparently &C
counts for the poor yields and low
! quality of the grain.
: Weights of IS to % pounds per
measured bushel are common Many
| fields are not worth cutting, though
but few have not been cut. Yields
run from 10 to 80 bushels per acre,
with very rarely report of 40 bushels
