Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1905-01-20

Salem, Jan. 16. - Two bills of the
1903 session, amending the Australian
ballot law, and relating to the Eighth
judicial district, which the governor
vetoed, were returned to the senate and
failed to pass. A joint memorial was
adopted urging early action on the
part of the government in the construc-
tion of the Cello canal. Among the
new bills were: To limit the hours of
service of railroad employees; to create
juvenile courts, and to amend district
irrigation law of 1895.
Upon the house converting today
Speaker Mills announced the standing
committees. The Cello canal resolu-
tion was adopted. A resolution for
Accent lumber rate to the Missouri
river was referred. Among the new
measures introduced were: To make
district primary law operative in 1905;
extending open salmon season for Co.
lumbia from Augsut Is to August 25;
to exempt from taxation property OF
householders to $500 valuation, and to
create Cascade county. The new
county is to be cut out of Wasco and
its temporary and probably permanent
county seat is to be Hood River.

THREAT TO RAILROAD MEN.
Roosevelts Plan Of Regulation to Be
Followed by Cut in Wages.

Boston, Jan. 18.-In an address be-
fore the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, Division 81, on the occasion
of it's 4Oth anniversary, today, Presi-
dent Lucius Tuttle, of the Boston &
Maine railroad, spoke of President
Roosevelt's proposal that railroad rates
be regulated under congressional super
vision and authority.
Mr.. Tuttle declared that such a poll
cy, if carried out, must inevitably affect
the income of the 100000 persons
who gain their livelihood directly from
the railroads. He did not think it had
been or could be shown that the makers
of the constitution ever had any other
thought in mind in connection with the
delegation to congress of the power to
regulate interstate commerce relations
than well defined intent forever to
prevent the erection by any state of any
customs. tariffs or other barriers that
should be an obstruction to the free
currents of commerce.
s'The railroads of 19O3," he said,
"were able only to pay their share
holders an average dividend of less than
8 per cent, and any further general re-
duction of rates must necessarily be
followed by reduction of operating
expenses"

WILL DEFFND CHINA.
Hays Note Denies Charges and Cites
Russia's Own Misdeeds.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secretary
Hay will soon reply to the Russian
note alleging that China has violated
her neutrality obligations. He will
vigorously defend China. He will in
sist that China has done all possible to
maintain strict neutrality. He will
refuse to admit that there have been
any intentional violations of neutrality.
Hewill cite instances in which Rus
sian troops have invaded Chinese ter
ritory and provoked some reprisals for
which the Pekin government should
not be held accountable. Russia will
be urged to consider the attitude of
China as government and not that of
individuals.
Copies of Secretary Hays note will
be sent to all the powers. It is expect
ed that some of them will use their
moral influence to prevent Russia from
breaking the former agreement limiting
the zone of hostilities. Intimations
have already reached her that this ac-
tion will be taken.

IDAHO SURVEY TO BE MADE
Pahsamari Valley Said to Offer Good
Field for Irrigation.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The attention
of the reclamation engineers has been
directed to the Pahsamari valley, in
Custer and Lemhi counties, Idaho,
where, it is believed by citizens, prob
ably 10000 acres of fertile land could
be reclaimed by water now going to
waste in that section.
A careful reconnaissance will be
made under the supervision of District
Engineer D. W. Ross when the field
season opens in the spring. Data now
in his possession tends to show the ex-
istence of reclaimable lands in small
rather than in large bodies. The val
ley is comparatively narrow, foothills
crowding down close to the river on
both sides. In order to determine the
feasibility of any scheme for the irri-
cation of these lands, however, a care
full inquiry will be made.

Cello Canal or Mouth Of CoIuIn.
bia Must Suffer.
BURTON FIRM In HIS DECISION
He Calls on Northwest Members of
Congress to Choose Between
Important Projects.

Washington, Jan. 18. - In spite of
all entreaties and explanations, Chair
man Burton, of the house committee
on rivers and harbors, refuses to give
in to the demands of the delegates from
Oregon and Washington in regard to
the Columbia river improvements. He
still maintains that they must choose
between The Dalles-Celilo canal and
river; that they must sacrifice one pro-
iect in the interest of the other, and,
from present indications, he will force
them to express their preference. He
seems determined not to consent to an
appropriation for both projects at this
session.
1t is difficult to understand Mr.. Bur-
toms attitude. He is willing to appro-
pirate sufficient money to continue
work on the jetty at the mouth of the
river, but is unwilling to commence
construction of the Cello canal. He
appears friendly enough to the former
project, but very unfavorably impressed
with the latter. Mr.. Burton will not
admit that both projects are of equal
Importance; he will not listen to ex-
plantations that the people of Oregon
are as anxious for the Cello canal as
for deep channel across the Columbia
river bar. He is not at all impressed
by the fact that the Oregon legislature
has appealed to the government in be-
half of both projects. He consented to
make brief statement of his position
today, when told that the people OF
Portland were as friendly to the Cello
canal as to the mouth of the river.
"We cannot make provisions fol
both projects within the limits of ou,
bill" said he, sat least to any consid.
erable extent. We shall have to leave
one or the other with comparatively
! small appropriation. 1t would seem te
be more business-like way to proceed
with one or the other project with g
view to its completion
Beyond this Mr.. Burton refused tc
discuss the matter. Those who have
talked with him, while not permitted
to quote him, feel that he is decidedly
opposed to the Cello canal project
He seems to feel that it would prove {
very costly work, especially in proper
ton to the amount of commerce tina
would be benefited. In his opinion i
would cost more on the basis of 'tht
commerce involved than almost any
other project in the United States thai
has been sanctioned by congress.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY
Berlin Chamber of Commerce Peti-
tions President.

Berlin Chamber of Commerce Peti-
tons President.
Berlin, Jan. 18-The American
Chamber of Commerce of Berlin con-
siders that the moment is favorable for
movement loking toward reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Germany, and especially SO because the
new system of reciprocity treaties Ger
many has concluded most probably will
affect American trade adversely. The
Chamber of Commerce sent a petition
to President Roosevelt, which in part
follows:
s'The American Chamber of Com
merce of Berlin, organized with the
purpose of furthering good relations
between the United States and Ger
many, especially in the direction Of
commercial affairs, and including
among its members of leading concerns
of both nationalities trading between
the two countries, pray that you urge
upon congress and other authorities
the pressing need of prompt action for
reciprocity treaty with Germany and
also of new laws and regulations for
the appraisal of merchandise, to replace
the present very faulty and often un-
lust system which has been and still
is constantly causing much bitterness
of feeling among practically all the inn
porters of commodities into ports OF
the United States"
The American Chamber of Commerce
offers it's services in the collection OF
information.

Saturday, Jan. Ia.

In the senate today an unavailing
effort was made to secure consent to fix
a day for taking vote on the statehood
bill.
A bill making it felony to counter
felt the great seal of the United States
was passed.
Pension legislation at the rate of $50
bills in 10S minutes was indulged in
by the house today, the result being
the smashing of all previous records of
the house as to legislative nimbleness.
Bills were passed to authorize the use
of earth, stone and timber from the
forest reserves and public lands for the
construction of irrigation projects; to
prohibit the words Omitted States as
say or any words committing the
government to the quality of gold or
silver articles.

DolNes IN CONGRESS.
tuesday, January 10.

The senate today continued consider
alton of the joint statehood bill, the
chief accomplishment being the accept
ance of most of the amendments sug-
gested by the committee on Indian
affairs.
Senator Cullom reported the legis-
lative, judicial and executive appropri-
alton bill as amended by the senate
committee on appropriations. The to-
tai carried is $29, ,192, 1852, a net in
crease of $434, 772 over the amount ap-
propriated by the bill as passed by the
house.
The session of the house was given
over almost entirely to discussion of the
bill on banking and currency "to i'm

The impeachment charges on which
Judge Charles swayne will be tried
were presented just before adjournment
and notice given that on Thursday they
would be called up for action in the

Wednesday, January II.

The attention of the senate today ywas
divided by the statehood question and
government regulation of railroads. All
amendments to the statehood bill ex-
cept one were agreed to.
In the house the army appropriation
bill received consideration. The ex-
penses of the army and navy were Sc
verely criticized by several members.
Attention was called to the large re-
tired list of officers, which includes 236
brigadier generals. An effot was made
to reduce the pay of retired officers
above the rank of major when assigned
to duty with the militia of the several
states. This was aimed at General
Miles as secretary general of Massa-
chusetts.

FRUITMEN TALK OF UNION,
Josephine Growers Want to See Pro-
duct of Rogue River Doomed.

Josephine Growers Want to See Pro-
duct of Rogue River Doomed.
Grants Pass-The success met by
fruitgrowers' unions in other sections
of the state, and the great increase in
the acreage of orchards and vineyards
in Josephine county, have induced the
leading fruitgrowers of this section to
plan organization of a Josephine
County Fruitgrowers' union. They be-
Heve it would enable them to secure
better prices for their fruit and lower
rates on their boxes, and other mater
ial. Another and more important ad-
vantage would be the establishment of
a standard of fruit for shipment, by
better grading and selection. AS is
done at Hood River, and at California
points south of here, expert packers
would visit the various orchards and
give instructions as to the proper man
ner of packing and selection. 1t would
also result in the creation of a market
for Rogue river apples, and would
spread the fame and name of 'Rogue
River as the fruitgrowers of Hood
River have done by the famous "Hood
River" product of orchard and straw
berry field.

Buy Wasco Land.

The Dalles = Homeseekers are be-
ginning to arrive in this section and
some are already buying land. T. L
and B. F. Hemingway, recently from
Spokane, bought the Pat German farm
of 440 acres, near Kingsley, for $4,000.
The Messrs. Hemingway have travelled
pretty well over Eastern Oregon look
ing for land, and finally determined
that Wasco county afforded better, in
>ducements than-any other section of
the eastern part of the state. They
say no other section of Oregon has land
that will produce as much.

Monday, January I6.


Bills passed by the senate were: For
the relief of the Western Alaska Con-
struction Cempany's railroads by grant
ing an extension of time for compile
tion of the first section of at least 20
miles; to fix the compensation of criers
and bailiffs in the United States courts
at So day.
The statehood bill was discssed tor
three hours today. Several senators
talked against uniting New Mexico and
Arizona and some questioned the unit
ing of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Hepburn said hel could see no reason
for it except for shortsighted desire
to shut the door of the senate against
the West.

Irrigation on Klamath.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-F. H. Newell,
chief of the reclamation service, and
all field engineers, who have made a
study of the Klamath basin, are very
enthusiastic over the klamath irriga-
tion project, and are bringing every in
fuence to bear to remove the few re-
naming obstacles which stand in the
way of its adoption. The Klamath
project, according to preliminary esti-
mates, will reclaim in the neighbor-
hood of 312, 900 acres of land in South
ern Oregon and Northern California,
the major portion in Oregon.

Further consideration was given in
the house today of the impeachment
charges against Judge Swayne. There
was noticeable lack of interest in the
case except among a few members. The
defense charged that the whole thing
was case of private vengeance.
The house concurred in the senate
amendments to the Philippine govern
ment bill and sent the bill to confer
ence.
The senate today passed the legisla-

Smoke Drives Out Firemen.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Thirty-fve COM
panies of firemen tonight fought fire
in the beef storage department of
schwarzchild & Sulzberger company,
and when the fire was finally put out
not over $5, 900 damage had been done.
The fire caught in sawdust and the
streams of water poured upon it had no
noticeable effect for four hours. The
volume of smoke was so dense that the
fremen were compelled to relieve each
other every few minutes until the fire
was under control to escape suffocation
by its fumes.

Bloody Riots at Saratoff.

London, Jan. 1S.-The Vienna corre-
spondent of the London Daily Leader
reports serious rioting at Saratoff, the
capital of Russian government at Sara
toff. The trouble started some days
ago, when the reservists were called
out, and the police were sent into the
homes of those who did not report on
time. On Friday and Saturday several
minor excesses occurred and on Sunday
200 reservists gathered in a saloon and
listened to revolutionary speeches.

Closed Season for Salmon.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 1S.-T The Domin-
ion government has been asked by a
delegation representing the salmon in
dustries of British Columbia to agree
to closed season of 36 hours each
week and an entire closed season in
1906 and 1909, so as to prevent the de-
pletion of the fisheries. The state OF
Washington has agreed to the proposal
and Canada will probably do SO.
