TITLE IS CLEAR.
Government Accepts Right of Way to
Cello Canal.

Washingtn, May 29.-The United
States government today formally ac-
cepted title to the right of way for The
DalIes-Celilo canal, and early this week
Major Langfitt will be instructed to adj
vertise for bids for construction of the
upper lock and approaches, for which
$500, 900 was appropriated last session.
Title to the right of way was examined
and approved some weeks ago. Today
the attorney general examined the deed
from the state, and, finding it regular.
advised the secretary of war that he
could, under the law, proceed with
construction Of the canal.
This means that the work of con-
struction will commence early in the
summer, and there is money enough on
hand to continue it until congress has
an opportunity to make further an
preparation. If the original intention
is carried out, the Oregon, Washington
and Idaho delegations will attempt
next session to have The Dalles canal
made continuing contract, in order
that appropriations may be made an.
nually until the total cost of "a. O00.-

GRAZING IN NEW RESERVES.


Warrington. May 20. - The secre-
tary of agriculture today issued an or
der directing that no restriction be
placed upon the grazing of stock within
new forest reserves that have been or
may be created this year.
There has been considerable concern
among the sheep and cattlemen of the
West on account OF the creation of new
reserves, which include considerable
areas of what has heretofore been pub
lie range. Many letters received by
the department indicate that stockmen
fear they are to be deprived of thier
range on short notice. In justice to
these stock interests, Secretary Wilson,
ON recommendation of the Forestry
bureau, decided to impose no restric-
tions within the new reserves this
summer.
However, investigations are now be-
ing made to determine how many sheep
and cattle may safely be admitted, and,
based on these investigations, restric-
tions will be imposed next year, and
grazing season will be set for each in
diyidual reserve, to be regulated by
climatic and range conditions. Today's
order applies to new reserves in Oregon
and Idaho, and will apply to new re-
serves soon to be established in these
states and in Washington.

NO BOYCOTT BY CHINESE.
Minister Conger RidicuIes Talk of
Revenge for Exclusion.


Leavenworth, Kan, May 26.-Edwin
II. Conger, ex-minister to China, is
visiting his daughter at Fort Lcaven-
worth. Mr.. Conger is ON his way to
his new post in Mexico. "Tne talk OF
the Chinese retaliating against the ex-
clusion Jaw by boycotting American
made goods is amusing to me-" said
Mr.. Conger today. "Of course you
know how American politics are run /;
we'll, the Chinese were politicians be-
fore America was discovered. They
know more tricks than their American
brethren.
"While much of the agitation has
occurred since left China, there was
some prior to that. AT these mass
meetings of merchants, as they were
called, there was liberal sprinkling of
politicians and possibly one or more
merchants who had been run in. The
politicians did most of the talking and
then the news was spread broadcast
that the merchants would boycott
American goods.
II believe that the truth of the mat
ter is that the Chinese merchants have
no idea of boycotting American goods.
They are in business to make money,
and there is demand for American

There were a number OF instances

In every instance was made by the men

WAS taken by any OF the trades unions

There Is no movement at present

HIS EXPERIENCE
Says Supplies. for Canal Can Be had
Cheaper al Home.
Congress was Twice Asked to Declare
Its Wishes in the Matter, and Did
Not Act-Supplies Are Bought at
Home In Open Competition with
Foreign Markets.

Chicago, May rs. - Paul Morton,
secretary Of the navy, and Theodore T
shonts, chairman OF the Panama Canal
commission, were the guests OF the
Chicago Bankers club at banquet
here tonight.
Mr.. Morton was asked to respond to
the toast OF "The President" and after
expressing his pleasure at being able
to meet the members of the Bankers
club, he said OF President Roosevelt:
"He is, taken all in all, one OF the
most remarkable Of all the great men
who. have occupied the White house.
AS earnest in his love OF country as
Washington, as far-seeing as Jefferson,
as courageous as Jackson, and as much
opposed to human slavery in all forms
as Abe Lincoln, he stands robust in
his integrity and sturdy in his deter
mination that there shall be square
deal all around
Mr.. Shonts said; Congress, for
some reason unknown to us, although
twice asked to declare its wishes, failed
to limit the purchase of materials and
supplies entering into the construction
Of the canal to the American markets.
Whatever the absence of the instruc-
tions from congress, the commission
feels it is its duty to make its pur-
chases in whatever markets of the
world it can buy cheapest. This pol
icy it is pursuing, and, inasmuch as it
is getting the great mass of its sup
plies in American markets, the infer
ence is plain that, notwithstanding our
protective laws and Notwithstanding
our high wages to labor, the American
markets are in the main the cheapest
markets in the world"
