LA GRANDE. Or, Aug. 20-F. H.
Holzheimer of Pocatello, Idaho, who
was here yesterday, stated that he had
written letter to c. H. Jackson, chair
man Of the Idaho Democratic State
Central Committee, rendering his resig-
nation as nominee for Congressman. He
said he resigned because of the fact
that conditions have arisen since his
nomination regarding the Mormon
question that make it appear that a
campaign is to be waged against the
Mormons in that State. and he feels
that he cannot do justice to his party
and wage a war of that kind.

OAKLAND. Aug. 2o.-The Repub-
lican County Convention to-day de-
veloped no trouble and plenty Of en-
thusiasm. The harmony Of the event
augIrs well for the success of the few
nominees that were placed before the
people. Governor George c. Pardee
was present and made a little ad-
dress to his townsmen. Joseph R.
Knowland. the new nominee of the
Republican party for Congress in the
Third District, came as a plain dele
gate from Alameda, doing his duty as
few words to say when he was hailed
out of the mass of delegates on the
floor. The nominating addresses were
by prominent Republicans and alto
gether the gathering to-day was a
strong and earnest ione.
Following the usual procedure the
convention was called to order by the
chairman Of the Republican County
Committee, Clarence Crowell. Crow
ell declared that the first duty of the
convention would be TO invite Cover
nor Pardee to address them and he
appointed a committee to perform
this duty, composed of Frank K. Mott,
Mortimer Smith and Eugene Stephen
son. While they were carrying out
their duty the conventionnwas organ
ized by the election of A. H. Breed as
chairman and Charles E. Thomas and
Ed S. Finch as secretaries. Breed said
fer
Republican majority, and then Gov
ernor Pardee was announced.
WARMLY RECEIVED.
The appearance of the Governor
was the signal for applause, the
length and strength of which were a
distinct compliment, even though it
came from his own home. The Gov
ernor had a few words to say about
his Eastern trip and about President
Roosevelt He said:
II have been a sort of exile from
my old home for the last two years,
and I have lived away from my old
friends to a certain extent under pro-
test. But I am always glad to come
back and grasp the hands of old
friends and see the old familiar faces.

In their call it Ia stated that the

they are opposed to the Hamilton

it is freely amended, shall work for
its defeat. Ministers are urged to

BLACKWELL BAPTIST COLLEGE.
MlII Open The School Year The First
Week In October.

Blackwell, o. T., July 27-The Ok
7ahoma Baptist college at Blackwell,
will open the school year the first
week in October. Within the past
day or two matters have so shaped
themselves that those interested in
lthe success of the college, particular
ly the board of trustees, feel justified
in opening the college, and the board
of trustees will meet during the first
week in August to elect president
and select a faculty.
The indebtedness of the college is
$4,000. OF this amount the citizens
of this city, through the commercial
club, agree to pay one-half of the in
debtedness, provided the Baptists out
side of Kay county raised the other
half. The agreement was entered
into and both sides went to work.
Blackwell has yet $4,000 to raise,
and Financial Secretary Stone, repre-
asenting the college, has an equal
amount to raise. These amounts will
be speedily raised, and Blackwell has
been simply waiting upon the Bap-
lists of Oklahoma to demonstrate
their ability to raise their share, be-
sides Blackwell raised about $1,000
of her amount in two days and can
easily raise the remainder Of the sum.
This will place the college cleci of
debt and put it upon substantial
footing. Heretofore it has been sadly
crippled with the debt that was hang
ing over it and while the fact has
been demonstrated that the college
has in the past been self sustaining,
the great burden of interest and debt
ate up its revenues to such an ex-
tent that it could not prosper. But
that debt will now be wiped out and
the institution will be opened up free
of that heavy burden.

The Only Way To Control The Kansas

BUREAU OF FORESTRY ADVISE,
The Protection And Reclamation Of
Lands Depends Wholly Upon The
Setting Out Of Trees, Cottonwood

Washington, July 30.-The bureau
'of forestry of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture is now send
ing to the citizens of the Kaw valley
: mimeographed circular of recon-
mendations for guidance in forest
d planting on their damaged lands, in
(which it is said:

great food of 1903 is directly trace
able to crooks in the stream. The
soft, bare banks should be covered
with willows at the earliest possible
moment to prevent the stream from
again becoming crooked. In addition
to the protection of the caving river
banks and the reclamation of the sand
led and eroded lands, the land owners
of the Kansas River valley should
Immediately cooperate to secure con-
tinuous belts of timber $50 feet wide
on both banks Of the stream. Such
protective belts will be far more ser
Uiceable than bikes of earth or ma
ssonery in mitigating the destruction
that may occur from overhows. The
future wealth and productiveness of
the valley as a whole will be largely
dependent upon the practice of for
restry for protection against devasta-
ton by floods"
The conditions are peculiarly favor
able for the success of tree planting
in the flooded regions. The flood pre-
pared a good seeded for trees, and
willow and cottonwood seedlings are
growing thick on ground that was toe
wet to pillow last year. The young cot
tonwoods can be taken up and set out
on the sandy ridges which the flood
has damaged. Thus the nursery stock
will cost nothing but little labor.
The bureau goes into an exhaustive
review of the floods of 1904. ant
notes that until year ago the valley
of the Kaw was as fertile as any OF

strips of woodland along the banks o

KANSANS PLANT TREES

But under agriculture the trees were
gradually cut down. in many instances
right to the waters edge. The result
was inevitable. In it's natural course
the river runs rather slowly and with
many windings through it's fiat mea-
dows. But when it overfowed the
water swept straight down the valley.
Unimpeded by trees, it increased its
velocity, in some places cutting for
itself new channels. and for almost
the whole 120 miles of the valley not
only deeply eroded the river banks,
but played havoc with the valuable
farm lands. In some places the rich
soil was cut away to. the barren sands
or gravels; in others coarse sand was
laid six and eight feet deep over the
fields; in still other places great holes
were gouged out and lakes formed
acres in extent. OF the 100000 acres
of remarkably fertile lands, worth
from $1O0 to $3.50 an acre, which the
valley contained, 10000 acres were
completely destroyed for agricultural
purposes, 10000 acres more were dam
aged so per cent of their value, and
the whole area was greatly depreciat-
ed in value, owing to the general sense
of uncertainty as to the future. That
these fears for the future were well
founded the repetition of the disaster
makes sufficiently plain.
The condition of the citizens of the
valley is far from hopeless if they will
put into active and general operation
plans for the protection and reclama-
tion of their lands. The bureau of
forestry has devised systems of tree
planting for the river banks, the sand
covered lands, and the deeply eroded
lands. The object Of the first is to-
prevent washing Of the banks, to pro-
tect the whole area from the full force
of the foods, and in time Of overflow
to check the tendency to gully and cut
new channels. The last two sys-
TENS of planting are for ultimately re-
claiming the now destroyed lands, and
making them produce, in the mean
time, valuable wood product, while
the work of reclamation is going on.
The sanded lands are now useless
for crops, but will grow cottonwood,
which twenty years hence will make
valuable sawlogs. In the meantime
the trees will be reclaiming the land
for field crops. This they will do
partly for the fertilizing effect OF the
decaying forest litter. But should the
food waters again return, the timber
would very likely be in a position to
render much greater service. Exam
nation of the area affected a year
ago shows strikingly that where PRO
/ tective growths of cottonwood checked
the rush CT the current the land be-
yond was generally covered not with
sand, but with silt, and is often if
anything, more fertile than before.
With extensive planting of forest trees
another food would undoubtedly bring
/ back at once to fertility much OF the
land which has now been made barren.

NO CHANGE IN STRIKE SITUATION
PACKING PLANTS ARE ALL WORKING

10000 union employees who are on
strike. All day long workmen from
outside points were rushed to Chica-
go and talien to the stock yards under
police protection to fill the place OF
the strikers. 1t was announced by
the packers that 1000 new men were
now installed in the different plants
at the stock yards. With these men
and with the new arrivals that are
expected each day, the packers ex-
pect to get their affairs in such shape
that the strikers will be compelled to
seek a truce in the hostilities and
seek a peaceable settlement at the
dictation Of the employers. Although
the receipts of live stock were small
compared with receipts on correspond
ing days, under normal conditions,
still many cattle, hogs and sheep were
left in the pens at night unsold.

The teamsters have become restless
and the general belief is that few, if
any, of the 700 employed in the pack
ing industry will wait for the sanction
of the international officers of the
union to so on strike.
Rumors of renewed efforts to set
lie the difficulty by arbitration were
found to be without foundation.

oyster Bay Settled in 1853.

In 1912 a party of English adven-
turers direct from New England at
tempted to settle at Oyster Bay, and
actually purchased the land from the
Indians, but the Dutch drove them
out. Eventually compromise was
made and the Dutch and English di-
vided Long Island between them.
The first permanent settlement on
the site of the present village of
Oyster Bay was then made in 1868.
