OREGON NOTIFIES TAFT.
Copy of Willamette River Appropri-
alton Bill Sent to Washington.

Governor Chamberlain has sent
letters to the secretary of war at
Washington, d. c., as follows:
The legislature Of this state at its
last session, passed a bill appropriat-
ing 100000 to be paid to the United
States for the purpose of assisting the
United States in acquiring by con-
demnation or construction of a boat
canal and locks around the falls of
the Willamette river at Oregon City,
Oregon.
The present and only canal and
locks around these falls is owned by
a private corporation which has the
power and does impose a tax of 80
cents per ton on every ton of freight
that passes from the upper to the
lower river or from the lower to the
upper river.
This tax as the state grows is an an
nually increasing burden and the
people for a number of years past
have been strenuously demanding
government ownership and control of
the locks at the falls of the william
cite to the bend, the river may be
opened to free navigation its entire
length.
The delegation from oregon to the
congress of the United States intend
to bring this matter to the attention
of congress and urge upon that body
the Importance to our people of an
open waterway through the heart OF
the willamette valley and l am tax
ing the liberty of enclosing you here
with a copy of the act of the Oregon
legislature bearing upon the subject
in order that your department may
be fully advised in the premises.

TO USE CANADIAN TIMBER.
Forestry Official Says Oregon Must
Draw on Northern Supply.

within 10 years Oregon will be
buying lumber from Canada" said
Enog A. Mills of the United States
forestry bureau this morning, says
the Oregon Daily Journal Mr.. Mills
is the special lecturer Of the forestry
service and is travelling over nearly
the whole Of the country speaking
on behalf Of the conservatism Of the
nations forests.
Mr.. Mills is probably the most in
teresting man in the government for
estry service today. He has travelled
on foot over almost the entire coun-
try, especially through the mountain
Gus districts Of the western states and
Alaska. Years ago when Oregon was
a very new state he followed a pre-
carious trail up the Columbia and
found much Of what was then the
virgin forest land Of Oregon and
Washington. He went many places
that man had never been before,
merely following his desire to learn
everything possible about what he
had chosen for his life study--trees.
He is the owner Of one Of the most
original and delightful places in the
country-the Longs Park inn, a
house built far up on the side Of
Longs peak. Colorado, constructed
entirely Of logs which have been
through forest fires. There is not
a drop Of paint on the premises-the

CHICAGO OR KANSAS CITY?
Both Cities VIII Battle for Coming
Republican National Convention.

Chicago. Oct. 24.-Chicago and
Kansas City will fight it out for both
the republican and democratic ma
tional conventions of 1908. Chicago
will win only on condition that
larger convention hall be provided
than the Coliseum and better ar
ranged. Thomas d. Knight, presi-
dent of the Hamilton club, delivered
this message at a banquet OF the
"OId Guard" of the club. He had
lust returned after a consultation
with Chairman New and other re-
publican national leaders at Wash
ington:
Chicago must provide a hall which
will comfortably seat $4,000" said
Mr.. Knight. THAT is the founda-
ton stone of the demands of the ma
tional committee, and must be met
by Chicago or the convention goes
to Kansas City, where there is hall
seating 10000. Already many east
ern committeeman have pledged
their support to Kansas city, which
has made a strong campaign. The
Coliseum, as at present arranged,
does not answer nearly the demand.
We will strive to arrange system of
new galleries. Mr.. New will be here
in a short time to see what we can
do. We are considering urging the
rapid construction of the new Sew
enth Regiment armory, which will
be adequate, or falling in that, to
build a temporary wigwam. Chica-
go must hustle to land both conven-
tions."

The convention Of e. r. Coon by
jury in the United States district
court for conspiring to counterfeit
government coins with Albert Turn
er, Elmer Turner and II. X. Mills
brings to close one Of the most Ia
nous criminal cases that has been
tried in Portland for years, says the
Journal. Coon was found guilty on
four counts, John H. Williams and
Hans Johannsen also tried with Coon
were acquitted.
Coon, Williams, Johannsen, Mills
and the Turner brothers were arrest
ed a year ago last June near Hunt
ington, oregon. Coon, Williams and
Johannsen had only been out Of Nc
Neil's Island a few months when the
federal authorities grew suspicious of
their actions and ran down what they
believed to be gigantic scheme to
defraud the government by manufac-
turing spurious coins. Their move
ments were watched for several
months and their arrests followed.
Thomas Foster, secret service ope-
rative, discovered the plot and work.
ed up the case. He traced the move
ments of the men who we're augment
ed by the turner brothers Of Idaho
and Mills from Portland to New York
and in Texas. The scheme was one
of the most elaborate ever framed up
and at the trial last week the govern
lment had witnesses from five states,
some coming from New York. others
from Texas, while many were from
Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
At the time OF the arrest Of the
men on the Bastain ranch near Hunt
ington, IL ex-convicts were found en-
ployed in the vicinity and the authori-
ties had to deal with the most des-
perate set of criminals to be found
| in the state.
With the exception of mills and
one of the Turner brothers. all Of the
men tried have served terms in va
rlous penitentiaries. "Old Man
Williams has served 27 years in pen
itentiaries so far as can be traced
but it is believed that he has served
at least 10 more that could not be
found against him, making a total
of about 81 years he has served out
of a life of rs years. He is gray
bearded and wears a long, flowing
beard.
All the men were indicted by the
last federal grand jury on four count!
and Coon was found guilty on all Of
them. The Turner'S and Mills plead
ed guilty to the indictment before the
trial and were used as witnesse!
against their confederates named II

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
or Special Value to Many Here IN
PendIeton,

The progress made In medicine
during the last few years has been
as whole general rather than spe-
cific.
One Of the most notable discoveries
and one that undoubtedly appeals
more than anything else to many
people here in Pendleton Is the COM
binatlon of stomach remedies in the
Mi-o-na treatment. This prescrip-
tion has worked wonders, and there
is now no excuse for anyone suffering
with Indigestion or weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the muscles
OF the stomach and bowels, strength
ening and stimulating them SO that
they readily take care Of the food
that is eaten. 1t also increases the
flow of gastric juices, thus getting
from the food the nourishment that
is necessary for health and energy.
The symptoms Of indigestion are
numerous, such as distress after eat
ing, fatulence, heartburn, sick
headaches, dizziness and irritability,
These are all dispelled by few doses
of Mi-o-na when the trouble is re-
cent, but just as surely as long and
chronic cases If the treatment is fol-
lowed for a reasonable length Of time.
So positive are the good effects
following the use of Ml-o-na that the
remedy is sold by Tallman & Co. un-
der an absolute guarantee to refund
the money IL 1t should fail to cure.
With an offer like this none can af-
ford to suffer long from indigestion
or stomach troubles.
Do not think because Of the quick
benefits derived from the use Of Mi
o-na that 1t is merely a temporary
agent. 1t is a remedy that cures by
making over the weak stomach into
ia strong one.

BIG POTATO YIELD.
Yakima Man Harvests $4,000 Worth
OF Spuds on 40 Acres.

Attorney Vestal Snyder now has a
force of 25 men at work harvesting
his 40-acre field of potatoes, says the
Yakima Republic. A modern four
horse digger is one of the implements
employed in the field. The harvest
ers are camped on the ground and
are prosecuting the work with vigor.
notwithstanding the advanced
price of hay this year and the eager
market for 1t at current prices, Mr..
Snyder plowed up 40 acres of alfal-
ia and put the field to orchard and
potatoes.
He obtained fine growth of fruit
trees for the first year and will have
at least 500 tons Of the Melted Gem
potatoes, a very large and excellent
ruseet variety, for which he has al
ready been offered SIG ton. He has
not sold, however.
Mr.. Snyder picked up four potatoes
in the field this morning, just as he
passed over the rows on which the
digger had operated, which have an
aggregate weight Of 16 pounds. So
many large potatoes, many quite as
large as those which he picked up,
were seen along the upturned rows
that he didn't think 1t worth while
to bring in the samples he weighed.
Attorney Snyder, whose farm is To-
catod about six miles west of the
city, under the Yakima Canal com
pany's ditch, now has about 70 acres
in fruits on his place and will plant
rs acres more next spring.

decoration is furnished by the deli
cate carving wrought on the bark
and logs by the flames.
"I am not strongly in favor of fed
eral ownership of the forests" said
Mr.. Mills at the Portland hotel this
morning. "The best thing is for each
state to take up the forestry work
and operate to save everything pos
sible. Our floods and our clogged-
up streams like the Columbia and the
Mississippi are both the result of the
deforestation of the country. The
Columbia has a good channel and
would be free of the mud which now
fills it if trees were planted near the
deadwaters to retain the soil instead
of allowing it to be washed down.
"The western states are making
little effort to save their forests
they are letting the lumberman de-
stroy everything as fast as they wish
to. Timber land in private hands
will not be saved-that has been
proven too often. If each state con-
trolled the timber WITHIN lts pouh-
daries-that is a reasonable propor-
tion of it-and logged off a certain
amount each year-an amount that
would correspond to the annual re-
estation-forestry would pay well
and at the same time the valuable
timberland would be kept as a heri-
tage for future times.
"In the east several states have
taken up the work, notably Pennsyl-
vania, which made a start with TO-
600 acres, and is now increasing its
holdings. New York has followed
suit and Michigan and Wisconsin are
making a beginning toward repairing
the wrong done by extravagant and
wasteful numbering.

TWO CROPS sPUDs IN ONE YEAR
Salem Grower Exhibits a Freak in
Potato Culture.

The most interesting and newest
feature of the board of trade exhibit
is a potato vine which is 9 feet In
length and under which grew 16
large potatoes, Weighing IL pounds,
says the Salem Statesman. The po-
tatoes are of the Burbank variety
and were raised by H. s. Belle, pro-
prietor Of the Grand Union Tea store
at 271 Commercial street.
Mr.. Bell is a well experienced hand
at potato raising, having in former
years resided on farm three miles
east Of this city where, during one
season, he raised 1850 bushels of po-
tatoes from eight acres.
"The only time Of the year I like
potatoes is in May and l most gen.
orally have my new potatoes at that
time" said Mr.. Bell.
On a piece Of ground about 40 feet
square on his property at 226 Church
street, Mr.. Bell plants potatoes two
times a year, the first crop being
planted in December and harvested In
May Immediately after which the sec
ond crop is planted, a sample Of
which can be seen at the board of
trade rooms. Raising his own pota-
toes is one Of Mr. Bells hobbies.
