81.
Thee are four cities under consid-
cration-Bostou. New York, Chicago
and san Francisco-but in all prob
ability Chicago will be selected.
A. to Mr.. Hearstss official an
nouucement that the National party
would not either support Theodore
Roosevelt. William Jennings Bryan
or Governor Johnson of Minnesota.
it is now known definitely that the
Hearstities are determined first last,
and an the time to defeat Bryan at
the polls i'm November, should Bryan
be nominated at Denver. There has
never been a settlement of the differ
ences between Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan on his recent Wis
its TO New York has called on Mr..
Hearst. but MI. Hearst has not been
responsive.
VIII Cali on Hearst Again.
1t was said today that when Mr..
Bryan comes here again on April 10,
to tour the state. on the eve of the
Democratic state convention at Car
negie hall on April A. he will again
call on Mr. Hearst for the purpose of
talking over the situation.
The Bryan people, it was learned
today from those who have discussed
this Bryan-Heurst situation with
both Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Hearst, feel
that Mr.. Hearst has been altogether
too conservative in his recent public
speeches and utterances. Mr.. Hearst
and his friends have not as yet given
public expression to their views on
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Bryan's public
utterances. but 1t was intimated very
strongly today by those in the con-
tdence Of Mr.. Hearst that Mr.
Bryan's recent political propositions
will not have the support of Mr.
Hearst and his party.
Recall BrSan's Detection.
Another matter was brought up,
the old story of Mr. Hearst's enthus-
iastic support Of Mr.. Bryan in 1896
and 1900 and of Mr. Bryan's refusal
to aid Mr.. Hearst in his candidacy
for the presidential nomination in the
national convention of 1904. The
Hearst people say that their chieftain
in that convention was candidate
for the nomination; that Mr.. Bryan
was not a candidate, and that he
should have repaid the loyalty of Mr.
Hearst In 1896 and 1900 by doing all
In his power To bring about Mr.
Hearsts nomination Mr. Bryan re-
fused aid and support to Mr.. Hearst
in that convention and got upon the
platform and seconded the nominal
tion of Ex-senator Cockrell Of Mis-
souri, who had no more chance
for the nomination than a feather
boa mas in a blast furnace"

day 10y those I'm Mr.. Hearsts conf
deuce that while he would not raise
a hand to defeat Mr Bryan'8 nomi-
nation at Denver, he would use every
means at his command to defeat

SPECIAL MESSAGE
DOES NOT HELP
Legislative Program Has Been Dis,
arranged and 1t Is Doubtful
Whether 1t Can BeArrdnged
Satisfactorily at Present
Session of Congress.

Washington March 26,--Notwith-
standing the special message sent TO
Congress yesterday by President
Roosevelt, there seems little likeli-
hood of the legislation he demands
being enacted at this session of that
body. 1t is believed that some or
the measures he advocates Will be
given consideration but others will
not be attempted.
Chief among the latter Is the
amendment of the antitrust law and
legislation favorable to organized la
Dor Labor leaders demands are too
excessive it is declared, to permit of
the enactment of all the laws they
demand and unless some concessions
are made there is a probability
nothing will be done
The Senate leaders were perfectly
willing to undertake the execution of
a reasonable legislative program, in
tended to make Republican victory In
November certain. They agreed to
put through the Aldrich financial
bill, which Is part of the presidents
program; a new employers liability
bill to meet the recent decision of the
supreme court to lay the foundation
for tariff revision by instructing the
finance and ways and means commits
tees to gather data during the con-
gressionai recess, assisted by certain
treasury department officials, who
were to collect Information concerns
ing the administrative features, and
to amend the Sherman antitrust act
so as to permit railroads to make
traffic agreements and possibly au-
selves.
Wanted Too Much.
1t was not intended to repair the
damage done to the tenth section of
the Erdman act by the supreme court
decision, but take care OF organized
labor and propitiate 1t, in the rewrit-
ing of the Sherman antitrust statute.
The plan was that the president. the
Senate and House leaders and repre-
sentatives of labor should have one
or more meetings, take up changes
in the sherman act, give and take,
make mutual concessions and arrange
a draft satisfactory to all parties In
terested. On this basis it was an
nounced that the presidents legisla-
dive program, to that extent, would be
executed before the adjournment of
Congress.
Then came the hitch which threat
ems TO prevent any action except pass
ing new employers liability law and
the pending financial measure.
The labor organizations, it is said,
insisted that the rewritten Sherman
antitrust act must mention them by
name as exempt from its provisions.
and must contain a clause giving them
the right to utilize the boycott i'm
dealing with their enemies. The pres
ident. it Is understood, absolutely re-
fused to sanction this demand. The
senate leaders and Speaker Cannon
concurred in his views. No such
sweeping recognition Of LABOR will be
permitted. 1t would be equivalent to
class legislation Of the most pro-
nOunced character

On Sunday morning the headgateS

HOW PINCHOT GOT EVEN

The forest service comes back
strong against its critics in the house
and senate in press bulletin just is
sued and one that is backed up by
an opinion Of the attorney general
by the way.
At the last session Of congress, the
lawmaker threatened to cut down the
appropriations for the service be-
cause Of the so-called press agency"
which Chief Forester Pinchot had
been conducting in connection with
the forest work.
It was frequently charged that the
service maintained a corps Of expert
writer's. former newspaper men, and
editors. who wrote nice little puffs,
advance notices, etc, telling what a
great organization the forest service
was, what pile Of good It did the
public, what great man Clifford
Pinchot was, and what rascals those
men were who opposed the forest poll
icy.
To prevent this the lawmakers in,
serted a Joker" in the appropriation
bill, apparently shutting out the
"agency" completely.
But the foresters were resourceful.
They turned to Attorney General

But all about the retreat of the Biz
Savage something is doing" \ live
" bunch Of gallant young fellows are
striving 10 free the maiden, and it is
almost certain that they will in time
wrest her from the embrace Of the
Great Savage.
On every side the activities Of the
rescuers may be seen. The progress
toward the far retreat Of the Big
Savage may be slow at first, but with
in a short time the Maiden, Central
Oregon. will have been rescued from
her captor.
Every days progress shows that
within a few years the rich territory
Of Central oregon is sure to be reach
ed by Independent railroad lines and
then the rich booty now held by Har-
riman will be taken from his grasp
and Central Oregon will be given her
liberty.
Hartman could hold the trade Of
that vast rich district for all time to
come If he would only give the peo-
pie adequate transportation facilities.
But If he does not do so, others will,
and before he is aware one of his
most resourceful districts will have
slipped from his grasp. Such rich
territory as this will not long remain
unoccupled.

SOME AUGUST POINTERS.

Campbell, the dry farm professor,
gives these suggestions for August:
Before August has ended be sure
that you have all your fields well pro-
tected from the destructive effect of
moisture sucking winds. Have the
surface loose and the subsoil well
packed.
Don't let the soil in your stubble
field dry out. Keep a soil mulch for
protection
After every rain go over the ground
and force the water down into the
deep earth. You'll need it some time
Remember in the month of August
that you are already getting ready for
next years crop.
The disk is one Of the most useful
machines If 1t Is used rightly, and
August is the month to make most
excellent use Of it.
