RECENT WHITE HOUSE INCIDENT
Correspondence That Passed Between
DIR. Minor Morris. Husband of the
Woman Who Was FOrcibly Elected
From the Building, and Secretary

Washington. February 21.-Dr.
Minor Norris. whose wife some weeks
ago was elected from the White house
where she had gone to present alleged
grievances to the president, today gave
out for publication the correspondence
which recently passed between himself
and the president regarding the case
The letter follows:
ITO the president Of the United States.
Sir: Having waited patiently a
number Of weeks that you might have
ample time to ascertain all the cir
cumstances connected with the insult
recently Offered my wife at the White
house, and that You might make some
expression of depreciation which would
naturally be expected, it is now incum-
bent upon me as husband and citizen
to demand a public apology for this
outrage on womanhood and common
decency.
1T is unthinkable that such brutal
ity would be tolerated anywhere in this
country but above all in the White
house.
That my wife has been confined to
her bed six weeks from the shock and
injuries of this damnable treatment
is bad enough, but I can say to you
in all calmness that had the original
orders from the White house been
carried out. as to her longer incarcer-
alton, her life would have been sacri-
feed
''It is therefore incumbent upon me
to repeat my urgent request that you
take action at once suitable to the cir
cumstances which have shocked the
entire nation.
Respectfully,
MINOR NORRIS"
February Is, 1906"
The White House.
washington, February 10.
Sir: In reply to your letter of the
18th instant, the president directs me
to state to you that he had the super
1ntendent Of police of the District of
Columbia. Major Sylvester. make a
careful investigation of the circum-
stances connected with the arrest of
Mrs. Morris, for disorderly conduct at
the executive office, and the superin-
tendent submitted to the president all
had examined The president careful
ly went over Major Sylvester's report,
and the affidavits, and also personally
saw Major Sylvester and some of the
persons making the affidavits. He
came to the conclusion that the arrest
was justified. and that the force used
in making the arrest was caused by
the resistance offered by Mrs Morris
to the officers in the discharge of their
duty, and was no greater than was
necessary to make the arrest effective
Under these circumstances the
president does not consider that the
officers are properly subject to blame.
He was also satisfied that the kindest
thing that could be done to Mrs. Nor
ris and her kinsfolk was to refrain
from giving any additional publicity
IN . G
case.
Yours truly,
"WILLfAM LOEB. JR.
Secretary to the Presidef."

RURAL TELEPHONE IN
APPLEGATE VALLEY
Will Cover the Valley and Con
meet with Jacksonville
and Grants Pass.

The settlers of Applegate Valley
have under consideration the organi.
zation of rural cooperative tele
phone company. The subject will
be considered at the farmers institute
at Provolt on Saturday of next
week and it is the plan to form a
preliminary organization on that
date. The plan is to have telephone
lines to all sections of Applegate
Valley aud to extend to Jacksonville
and Grants Pass.
In the East there are thousands of
these cooperative telephone com.
panies and almost every important
farm community in the Willamette
Valley has this telephone service.
The service is as efficient as that Of
the big telephone companies aud more
than one half cheaper. Many of these
co operative companies give their
members telephone service at 25
cents a month for rural lines and 50
cents month for town lines and on
none OF them is the rate higher than
Sl.00 a month. Such has been the
su cess Of the Willamette Valley co.
operative companies that a meeting
was held in Portland last month of all
the managers TO formulate a plsn for
connecting tie various systems and

RANGE FREE TO sToCKMEN.

hhNbE II hDE ~ OlOChmEN.
Inquiry has been made of the
Courier as to whether stookmen will
he required to pay for pasturage on
gov ernment land in Josephine couny
or not. The law as now in force
provides that pasturage shall be col
lected on stock that range on forest
reserves, but the government makes
no charge on stockmen for pasturing
on lands outside of the forest and
park reserves.
There is no land reserve of any kind
in Josephine county consequently the
range is free to all. The greater part
Of Siskiyou and Del Norte counties lie
in the Klamath forest reserve and all
stock that range ip the Siskiyou
mountains. south of the California
boundary will be subjected to pasturage
charge, also all stock that range
in the Cascade forest reserve and
Crater Lake park in the Cascade
mountains.
Stockmen should be sure that they
are dealing with government officials
in paying for range privileges, for
strangers riding through the country
are as likely to be swindlers working
a smooth game, for the opportunity is
very favorable for getting the stock
mems money on forged credential
Stockmen should pay no money to a
stranger on mere letter stating that
he is IA government official authorized
to collect pasturage.

have an unsightly, inadequate school
house, that would make the progress
i've taxpayers pronounce maleditions
upon the board every time they saw it.
This rebuilding of the old South
building would add but four rooms to
the city schools. Two Of these rooms
would be required for the two grades
now in the rented buildings. leaving
but two rooms to accommodate the in
crease in scholars and for the relief OF
the present over-crowded rooms AS
it is imperative that there be four ad-
ditional rooms with the opening OF
school next Fall the district would
still be short two rooms, and
these would have to be rented at cost
of $50 to $40 month. This would
make necessary another building the
following year. With growth for the
next two years no greater than that
of the last two years every room in a
1o.room building would be filed.
Fully so per cent of the scholars in
the city schools reside in that part Of
the district south Of the railroad. The
growth Of this part Of the district will
be very rapid in the next five years.
The rich bottom land farms to the east
and west of the city will be cut up in
to one to five acre tracts with home
on each. The nearly three square
miles Of the district south of Rogue
river will. 80 soon as an irrigation
system is installed, which will be
within the next two years, be one
great garden and fruit tract with
home ON every 10 acres at least. The
Dimick district, with its school house
but mile from the South school, will
be annexed TO Grants Pass in the near
future. Thus it is that a l0-room
school house is an imperative necessity
and it would not be in keeping with the
general good appearance of the metro
polls of Southern Oregon to have a
patched up wooden building as a make
shift for this important part of the
city.

this kind means beyond question that
Hawley is strong with the people at
