The election in Oregon was about what was expected by the posted. It went republican by much reduced vote over last election. Many of the voters swim to the polls like ducks, and the Chinamen made out their tickets for them. Oregon is princi- pally populated by subjects of the Queen, escaped from Canada, and they vote where dollar will do the most good. Oregon is the state where the people carry paddle and water tight skull cap when they go fishing, which is their principal occupation. There is one barber in Oregon that we know of, Frank Maxim from Chloride. He will not be there long if he can borrow the dust to get away. He has only cut one mans hair since he opened shop in Oregon. They let their hair grow up there until it covers their web feet. Oregon wants to be an nexed to the Philippines. We are will ing. The Philippines might assimilate them and in return they could provide their more than brothors with fish and duck meat. Oregon has a floating

ARIZONA INDIANS.
Give the industrious Red Man Ills Dues

From the Los Angeles Saturday Post.l
 NJ. o. Ellison calls our attention to the treatment of the agricultural Indians of Arizona by the United States government. The facts in this matter are fully set forth in number of official reports. The most recent of these is one by Mir. J. B. Lippiucott of Los Angeles. This distinguished engineer is in charge of the govern ment hydrographic work in the South west. His report is of great inter- est and value to this entire section. It can be obtained through our senators or congressman. There is q painful contrast between the policy of the government toward these self sustaining and industrious Indians and its policy toward .he savage and predatory Apaches. In the first in stance the government has entirely failed in protecting the agricultural Indians in au their water rights. Irri- gation is absolute essential to agricul- ture in Arizona. The irrigating water necessary to the self-sustaining agricnl- ture of these Indians has been diminish ed orentirely absorbed by others with out any government provision for the Tn1iors b,- a;41,o,. e, ,,a-., ,,,,4o -,,,-,,l " to their raising crops, or by the usual Indian charity policy. The Apaehes. on the other hand, after long and bloody career of robbery and the mur- der of men, women and children, are supported in comparative luxury and in idleness. It it true that this latter policy is a final exterminator. It is Q cruel charity. But it shows a regard for the assassin that the industrious Indian does not receive.
 We are in favor of the development of Arizona. We believe that Arizona has a grand future before her, and we believe that it's glorious career can only be made by our own race. W. also believe that there is ample water in the great rivers of Arizona to provide for their development and also to pro vide for the present remnant of indus trious agricultural Indians. Water il Arizona goes to waste in billions of ' gallons. Splendid and numerous site for storage of this water exist, as Mr : Lippincott points out.
 The government should provide fo
 the utilization of there sites for the de yelopment of its own vast area of ari
 land. It should render the known fer tility of this land available to it's ow people by bringing water to it. I
 should provide in this way homes fo millions of Americans. The govern
 ment should also give che Indians
 fair deal. It should provide irrigatio
 water for the present willing agricu tural work of industrious Indians. Tn : government s lsches in regard to tn rights and property of the peaeefr 3 Arizona Indians is cruel and dishones 7 It is chapter in what Helen Jaekso

 EASTERN OPPOSITION.
 Senator Turner of Washington, who strongly favored the increase, struck a responsive chord when he asserted that some eastern Senators were prone to antagonize measures because appar- ently they were intended to benefit the west.
 "I consider the amendment" he said, "as exceedingly impotant to the arid region. But notice that nothing is ever offered in this body in the inter ests of that section that some Senator from the eastern seaboard, whose sec tion has been amply provided for, does not discover that the work could better be done by somebody else than the par ticular person to whom it is proposed to be entrusted, or he discovers that we are going into a reckless method of appropriation which ought to be suddenly atopped at a point where the interests of the west require consid- eration."

A GOOD STARTER.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars Appro- priated by Congress for Irrigation
 Surveys.

Always alert in the interests of the arid west, Senator Carter made an able defense of the item in the sundry Civil bill of $250 ,000 for irrigation sur veys and investigation by the Geolo- gical Survey, during the closing days of Congress. Last years appropriation for this work was $50, 900, and when it was proposed to increase this amount this year, first to $100 900 and then to $250,- GOO, it of course raised storm of objec- tions from Senators who fail tocompre- hend the vital importance ofirrigation to the great arid region. After strong urging by western Senators, the $250,- coo was voted by the Senate, but un- fortunately this was cut down by the House to the original increase pro posed of $100,000, which amount will be expended by the Survey, during the coming year, on this much needed work. The action of the House, how ever, shows the necessity for the west to stand together, and present one solid front and be bold and aggressive in its demands if it is desired to get rightful recognition from eastern Congressmen on these questions of supreme import to the arid region.
 The question is, ,n said Senator Carter, in the course of his remarks, "does this appropriation go to the acquisi- tion of information on some subject of consequence to the people? Let us e..a.

NEED OF OFFICIAL SURVEYS.


 "There are instances in California where large enterprises went in and constructed heavy canals and subse- quently found that the water supply was wholly inadequate to supply the canals. This has been discouraging to investment in this line. What we need with reference to this matter is specific, authoritative, substantial in- formation vouched for by the public records of the United States.
 "It is said, let private individuals do it. According to that suggestion the farmer living out on the Yellowstone is to build gauge for the benefit of humanity, and is to determine the flow of water that runs down that stream in twelve months. Why not, on the same principle, let sailors survey the coasts and establish Lighthouses fol their own guidance? To suggest that is to say that nothing shall be done al all.

4 rnousANp MILLIoN AcREs.

''There are F states and territories in the arid and semi-arid region of the United States. Those 17 states and territories to-day have popula- tion of about three million and half. In those states and territories there are 992, ,6l7 ,600 acres of land. Of that acreage but 30 per cent has passed into private ownership; the Government of the United States is the owner of 70 per cent. The extent to which these lands can be reclaimed is dependent upon the water supply. The manner of reclamation is dependent upon a knowledge of the volume of water available No intelligent system of development can be prosecuted until we know the water available for irri- gation purposes. The facts are of supreme importance to til e people lv- ing now and to live hereafter on two ffths of the American continent.
 
 dr. President, while we are voting here $65, ,0O0,00 for various purposes, all of them national, all of them prop CT, raising certain appropriations to considerable limits, making additions for river and harbor appropriations in the aggregate of over S12, ,00O, ,0O0 in the bill, and Senators from the arid regions acquiesce is these appropriations be- cause they are national and bene- fcial, does it seem the right compre- hension of great situation to chal- lenge an item in the bill intended to secure needed and absolutely neces- sary information in order to deal with problems involving the very life of the country itself? We have reached the point in that arid region where we can not now, without the investment of very large capital, invite any large in- crease of immigrants to settle, upon our soil.
 "Hundreds of people are passing each and every day upon loaded trains over as fertile land as ever the sun shone upon, going over the Rocky Mountains and of to the humid re- gions of the Pacific coast.

D.B. HILL TO woRKNGMEN.
He Speaks of the Establishment of Il
Department of Labor

That the Democratic party in the State
of New York presents a solid front, and
is doing all in its power to elect Bryan
is demonstrated by the manner il which
Dagtd 2. Hi. is presenting the ISSUES to
the workingman.
In his great speech at ElmiTa, N Y,
Tuesday night, Hon. David B. Hill said;
Il call the attention of the workingman
to The fact that for the first time in the
history of the country, one Of the great
political parties, to wit, the Democratic
party, had adopted a plank in its national
platform favoring the establishment of
Department Of Labor the Cabinet of
the President. If this proposition shah
meet the approval of he American people
by the election CT the Democratic candi-
dates, a Department Of Labor viii be es-
/! tablished, which Will aid materially in
advancing the interest of workingmen
and adding to the Importance and dignity
OF labor"
The plank in the Democratic platform
which Mr.. Hill refers to is as follows:
We are opposed to government by in
junction; We denounce the blacklist, and
favor arbitration as means of settling
disputes between corporations and their
employees.
IN the interest of American labor and
the upbuilding of the workingman as the
CoiuSISlONS oi the prosperity OF our
country, We recommend that Congress
create Department of Labor, in charge
of a Secretary with seat in the Cabinet,
believing that the elevation of the Amer
lean laborer Will bring with IL increased
production and increased prosperity to
our country at home and to our COM
merce abroad
On this subject, William ]. Bryan re-
Gently said in one of his public addresses:
But the laboring man is even more
interested in the proposition to establish
a labor bureau with a Cabinet officer at
its head Such bureau would keep the
Executive in constant touch with the
wage-earners OF the country, and open
| the way to the redress of their present
and future grievances. If labor is given
a place in the Presidents official house
hold, the man selected will necessarily be
worthy and trusted representative OF
the people for whom he speaks, and his
presence at Cabinet meetings will give

assurance that their interests will be

MURDER THEORY ABANDONED.
Miss CInyViIIe's Death said TO Have
Deen Due 10 Hemorrbage

Deen Due IN HemorFbage.
There viii be no Coroner's inquest in
the case of Miss sallie ClayviIIe, forty
years old, whose body was found by the
police at her home 2l41 y Street. north
west, yesterday afternoon. This was de-
cided upon by Coroner hewitt today after
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook had perform
ed an autopsy.
The autopsy did not reveal the cause of
death, but it showed, it is said, that it
had not been due to violence. There was
no evidence Of foul play. In the opinion
Of Dr. Giazebrook death was due to hem
orrhage.
Immediately after the autopsy Mr.. and
Mrs. d. J. Wheaton, of PHILADELPHIA call
ed al No. station and later obtained per-
mission from Coroner Nevitt Tor the re-
moval OF the body to Chincoteague Island
Va, the former home of Miss CIayville
Mr.. Whealton is an uncle of the deceased
Judging from the condition of the body,
DR.. GlazebroOk was Of the opinion thar
death occurred between seven and ten
days ago.
Previous TO the autopsy Lieutenant Boyle
and the police of the Third precinct had
assisted Coroner hewitt in an investigation
of the death of Miss CIayYilIe. They were
at first inclined to the belief that the wo-
man had committed suicide They agreed
TOO, that there was some slight evidence of
foul play, but the latter idea was dissi-
pated after a careful examination of the
house. The disordered condition OF the
furniture in the second story front room,
where the body was found, and the blood
stains on the floor were what gave rise TO
the impression that murder had been done,
while the empty half pint whisky flask
found under the head of the dead woman
created the impression that poison may
have been taken.
II is supposed that in her suffering Miss
Clayville staggered about the room clutch
ing at chairs and other articles of furnl-
ture and overturned some of them The
position of the body-half On a sofa and
half on the foor-indicated that she had
