the Intervention OF tho national govern
ment and he deprecated the reaching out
Of the federal arm into purely state mat
ters
After referring TO problems resulting
from trade combinations and the accu-
mutation OF large fortunes, Gov. Hanly
said:
I'm matters Of such moment we cannot
afford to thoughtessly follow impulsive
leadership, however high its character
OF pure its purpose
President Roosevelt has earned the
confidence and the gratitude OF his coun-
trymen by courageous work and signal
service and 1 do not speak in unlxindly
criticism, for l believe in the purity OF
his purpose and in his greatness. But
he Is not infallible. however strong OF
soul and pure of heart he may be. Pro-
posals. even from him, which are cal
culated to effect the relations of the
federal government TO the several states
should be thought upon, studied and
analyzed before we adopt them. The

zation OF power In the federal govern
ment. Public necessity as he has viewed
and understood the public need. has filled
well the presidents peculiar tempera-
ment and IL will be surprising IL this

HERMANN GAVE THE TIP.
Must Have Wired Advance Informa-
ton on Reserve,

A Washington dispatch says:
Binger Hermann's defense this
morning put on the witness stand
Justice McKenna of the supreme
court, and Judge Gould of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Both testified
that Hermann's reputation had been
good up to the tbme of the indict-
ment, but they had not talked with
anyone since the indictment.
Harry j. Brown, correspondent for
the Oregonian and private secretary
temporarily for Senator Bourne. as a
witness for the defense, stated that
Hermann had told him that lands
had been selected in certain counties
in eastern oregon for inclusion in
the Blue Mountain forest reserve,
naming the counties. This was on
the 25th of the month, and the state
ment was printed in the Oregonian
en- the following day.
1t was then brought out that Her
mann's telegraph to F. P. Mays was
sent on the 25th, the day before the
Oregonian printed the statement
the correspondent was not spe-
cific as to what lands had been in
cluded in the reserve. so that persons
not previously acquainted with the
inside facts would not have known
what lands had been selected.
1t is expected by both sides thai
the testimony will be concluded to.

The following letter protesting
against a recent descriptive article
on Harney county written for the
East Oregonian by C. C. Conner of
Helix, is from Fred Otley of Lawen,
Harvey county, who is evidently on
a wheat farm" in the Harney des-
ert.
The East Oregonian published Mr..
Conner's article as a signed COM
munication and will leave all ex-
plantations to him.
Mr.. Otley's letter is as follows:
Lawen, April IA. 1907.-(To the
Editor)-I have read with great sur
prise the wonderful descriptive let
ter of c. c. Conner, "of Helix, Una
tilla county," in your issue of March
80.
From a Chamber of Commerce or
Push club point of view this letter
will be great success in booming
,,. nortion of eastern Oregon, but
I wonder what re was paid "for
writing UP his knowledge Of 9h's
semi-arid region" gained by being
in this vicinity a few days last month.
Who has posted him in regards the
size of Harney valley, with its dark,
heavy soil, especially adapted to the
growing of all cereals, and that crops
have never been a failure?
Who told this cheerful fabricator
that a considerable portion of Har-
ney county was devoted to the rails
ing of wheat, oats, rye, barley, hops,
sugar beets, potatoes, apples. pears
peaches, prunes, apricots, grapes, all
kinds of berries and vegetables OF
every kind. and how many acres does
he claim as q considerable portion" !"
when he also states that there are
100000 acres CT vacant government
land yet subject to entry?
Toward the close of his remarkable
document he states that the "many
land locators here think more Of the
location fee than the welfare of the
located" In this 1 agree with him
but does he stop to think of the eff
feet his letter will have on parties
outside of eastern Oregon who dom
know this semi-arid section as W,
know 1t and are looking for land.
