WILL BATTLE FOR NEW MEXICO
Gen. Lew Wallace viii Leave Sick Bed
to Aid Toward Statehood.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 28.--General
Lew Wallace, who has been ill for
months, and who is believed to be
dying by inches, is very indignant over
the statehood bill, and declares that it
is great outrage on New Mexico, of
which he was once territorial governor.
He said:
81 consider it nothing short of
criminal mistake that congress seems
able OF force New Mexico to accept
statehood with Arizona. Itmeans that
the name New Mexico is to be forever
lost. It means the practical .disfran-
chisement of the whole people of both
territories"
As he warmed up to his subject, his
old vigor returned. Fire leaped into
his eyes as he leaned forward in his
chair and raised his hand with the lean
index finger tremblingly shaking with
pent-up emotion his anger brought out
as he said:
"And this thing will never be brought
about as long as can fight it. I'll go
back down there to those people and
help them fight this battle at the polls"

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
DEEPEN THE WILLAMETTE.
Commercial Club Wants More Open
River During Entire Year.

Albany-The Albany Commercial
club at recent session discussed the
question OF an open river between Al
bany and Portland the year round, in
stead OF a few months each year, as
prevails at present, and decided 10 me-
moralize congress for an open river. A
committee was appointed TO take charge
of the work and impress upon the Ore
gon congressional delegation the neces-
sity Of an open river.
Captain A. d. Graham, Of Portland,
one Of the managers Of the Oregon City
Transportation company, which oper-
ates boats on the Upper Willamette,
addressed the meeting regarding the
improvements that are necessary 20
make the Willamette nayigable by good
sized boats all the year. He empha-
sized the necessity Of dredging the up
per river 10 remove some OF the bars
that are the greatest hindrance TO navi-
gatio0, OF building revetments opposite
Albany, Corvallis and Independence
10 keep the river in its channel and
deepen the same, and in general in
dorsed the recommendation OF Major
Langftt, who recently examined the
river on behalf Of the government and
whose recommendations are now EN-
bodied in the river and harbor appro-
priation bill pending before congress.
IL was further recommended that the
War department be encouraged TO pnr-
chase the locks at Oregon City, thus
removing that obstruction to upper
river traffic. These locks add SO cents
per ton to freight rates between all
lower and upper river points.
The club appointed committee con-
sisting Of F. j. Miller, DIR. w. H. Davis
and T.. ID. Cusick to confer with like
committees from the Commercial clubs
of Salem, Independence and Corvallis,
and to draft resolutions favoring the
immediate improvement OF the river,
according 10 the recommendation OF
Major Langfitt, and to secure visit to
the upper river from Senator j. II.

Portland, Dec. 2s.-Yermont will be
represented at the Lewis and Clark ex-
position by reproduction of one of the
most valuable buildings, so far as his
torical value goes, in the United States.
Word was received at exposition head
quarters yesterday that the building to
be erected by Vermont will be a replica
of the old Constitution house of 1777.
In writing the letter, Arthur G. jack
son, commissioner for Vermont to the
Lewis and Clark exposition, stated that
a conclusion had been reached in the
matter, and though it could not be
stated, at present, how large the state
appropriation would be, it is anticipate
ed that Vermont will be as well repre-
sented at the exposition as she was at
st. Louis.
In this novel exposition building,
Vermont will have exhibits to show
the resources of that state. Historical
public records, too, will be there, and
by this means the state will show her
part in the upbuilding of the nation.
Modern exhibits will tell of the pro-
gress of Vermont from revolutionary
days to the present time. The middle
ages of the state will not be shown;
just the past and the present, with
hint of the future. The building will
be arranged in an attractive manner,
and will, no doubt, be the mecca of
thousands of visitors.
