Portland Daily Telegram; "There is
some argument as tclthe proper place
for holding the first congressional dis
srict convention, but Eugene appears to
be Ia the lead. Reasons given for select
ing Eugene are that IL is in the central
part OF the district, and easy Of access.
Delegates can reach Eugene without hav-
ing TO travel at night. The town 10 not
controlled by local prejudices, as are
Salem and Albany, so that all Of the var
icus Candidates for nomination win re-
ceive iair deal. Environment is an inn
portant matter. One reason why Eu-
gene Is in demand by nearly every as
pirant is that Representative Tongue de-
eires salem to be the place. II held in
Eugene, IL is contended, undue influence
cannot DO brought IN behalf OF Tongue,
and every candidate can enter the con-
vention with the hope OF winning out. "

ABOUT WATER STORAGE
MT. F. M. Murphy Interested and
 Willing to Do His Part.

President r. NJ. Murphy of the Santa Fe. Prescott & Phoenix road arrived in tie city yesterday morning. He will re turn to Prescott today. He talked with several members of the water storage committee regarding the storage pro- ject and gave them to understand that he could be depended upon at all times to do his utmost to aid the people of the valley in solving the storage prob lem. To d Republican reporter MT. Murphy said:
 Tt is gratifying to me to see so many prominent citizens addressing themselves to this question. There can be no doubt that without a cOmprehen- sive system of water storage this valley will never realize it's possibilities in the way of development. At the same time it is necessary for the residents of the valley to make up their minds whether they will build a storage system them selves or aid private capital in build ing one. I have no connection with the Hudson Reservoir company or any other organization having water stor- age in view, but | am vitally interest ed in the future of the valley and shall be glad to do my little part in ad justng this vital matter. As soon as the election is over there will be plenty of eastern money seeking investment and T am confident that Arizona will receive much attention. It is to ba hoped that the people of the valley will soon decide as to their proper course

LETTER FROM LIEUT.. BUGBEE
Some of the Filipinos in Favor of
 American Rule.

A letter was received at the gov ernor's office yesterday from LieUten- ant Fred w. Bugbee of this territory. who is with the American army in the Philippines. Lieutenant I5ugbee and his brother, George w. BugDee, were members of the Rough Riders. Tha latter had been for several years in the employ of the Southern Pacific as agent, and gave up a $2O00 job for the honor of licking Spain, which led A. D. Webb, anclther Rough Rider. to observe that it was a good thing for the South ern Pacific that MT. Bugbee had gone to war. A man who would voluntarily exchange a salary of 5000 a year for one of S13 a month lacked that acute and discriminating business sense which insures the proper care of the interests of a great railroad corpora ton. MT. Bugbee is again with the Southern Pacific. His brother, the writer of this letter, was wounded at San Juan hill. Col. Roosevelt ordered him to go to the rear. MT. Bugbee un- der great military excitement ordered Col. Roosevelt to go tt hell. lt is a matter of history of the war with Spain that neither Col Roosevelt nor MT. Bugbee obeyed orders
 Lieutenant Bugbee'5 letter contains, among other things, provender for thought for anti-imperialists. Hn writes as follows:
 "Daputan. MindanaO, P. l., Aug. &.
 "Governor N. O. Murphy, Phoenix, Arlzona.-Dear Sir: Thinking you might care to hear from one whom you were instrumental in having appointed an officer in the volunteer service, I take this opportunity to write to you. After arriving in the Philippines our regiment was stationed around Manila for about six weeks, when We left by sea for southeastern LuZon. We had several skirmishes and a few fights in this part of LuZon, losing several killed, among whom was our battalion adiutant, Lieutenant Galliher.
 The soil of this part of Luzon is very fertile. Immense quantities of rice and hemp are raised in this section, while in the mountains are large forests of various kinds of timber.
 About the 20th of March we again went on board transports, with the northern coast of Mindanao for our destination. Our regiment is now scat tered all along the northern coast from Sinigao at one end to Daputan at the other, the distance between the two places being about 250 miles. No trou- ble was experienced In landing at any of the towns occupied, although since then there has been considerable fight
