fully a minute the crowd cheered
wildly when Mr. Roosevelt, in his
speech before the national conserva-
tion congress this afternoon, attack
ests and water power sites and re-
counted the work of the forestry
bureau. He contested the statement
that the forests had been shut off
from public use, declaring that four
hundred thousand people used the
forests annually.
The colonel was in fighting
mood. He would swing his fist and
turn facing the governors on the
platform when talking of the for
estry bureau. There We're cries OF
"go after them, Teddy" In dis
cussing the water power sites he
said.
This is not a question of state
or nation. but it is really a question
of predatory interests against the
general population. If it were not
for these corporate interests the
question of state rights would never
have been raised"
A the conclusion of this stafo-
ment the crowd stood up and yelled
nd oh hro he ctr
of applause showed unmistakably
that the crowd was with him in his
demand for federal control Of wa
ter power sites.

ROYAL RECEPTION
FOR ROOSEVELT
Former President Is Given En-
thusiastic Greeting at
Minneapolis.
IS PR|MED FOR A FIGHT
VIII Contend that Water Power Sites
Should Be Under Federal Con-
troll - Opposes State
Rights Policy.
United Press Special.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 6.-Primed
for a fight for Federal control OF
public water power sites Col. Roose-
welt today came to St Paul to att md
the National Conservation Congress.
Following a squabble which de-
veloped over the water power sites
proposition Mr. Roosevelt has shifted
the stand he had taken on conser-
yation from a pacific attitude tc
relentless struggle against the state
ri"'lts policy of the western govern
ment. He objected to putting the
water power sites under control OF
what he calls an easily debauched
legislation.
NFr. Roosevelt arrived here this
morning from Minneapolis. He was
TIC by a reception committee head
g.: by Governor Eber..ardt. After
a breakfast at the Raddiscn hotel the
colonel was taken to the capitol
building where he could review the
Spanish-A American war veterans. He
was due to enter the auditorium
where the conservation congress is
being held at noon.
Col Roosevelt came to St. Paul
from Minneapolis in an automobile
at a speed that was dazzling to say
the least.
Several other automobiles loaded
with prominent men followed but
only the fleetest Of these were able
to keep up with the high power ma
chine donated by a st. Paul million
aire for the use of Col, Roosevelt.
When the former president struck
the business district of the city ana
saw from every building fluttering
in the breeze yards and yards of
bunting, and saw the thousands OF
American flags and the lithograph
pictures of himself and President
Taft he displayed his approval in
true Rooseveltian fashion.
When the honking automobiles
drew up at the hotel there was a
crowd there to greet the former
president that filled the streets for
more than block in every direc-
ton. There were cheers and shouts
Of Teddy" as the lion hunter step
ped nimbly from the painting auto
mobile
The police of st. Paul never han
a harder battle in their lives than
they did to keep back the good ma
tured mob that was determined to
get at least glimpse of the colonel,
They pushed and they hauled; they
laughed and they wept and the
giant bluecoats for whom st. Paul is
famous needed every ounce of their
great strength to keep the people
from grabbing Col Roosevelt and
lifting him to their shoulders.
The crowd that waited at the audi
torium to hear Mr.. Roosevelt'S
speech exceeded by one-third the
audience that heard President Iaft
Yesterday. Colonel Roosevelt en-
tered the hall at 11:05 and began
his speech at H.: IA after a tremend-
GUS ovation.
While the crowd was waiting for
the colonel it paid no icy tribute to
insurgency. There were cries or
"Stubbs. Stubbs." which lasted three
minutes. Governor Stubs Of Kan
sas and James ]. Hill were introduc-
ed and were loudly cheered.

THE LITTLE
Pig BROKE
The RECORD
CARRIED OFF BY AN EAGLE,
DROPPED FROM HEIGHT, CAP
TURED BY FISHERMEN AND
NOW A FAMILY PET is THE
STORY OF THE PIG AVIATOR
OF BENTON COUNTY.

The Corvallis Gazette has the fol-
lowing fisherman's pig story:
while in the Alsea country yes
terday, two local fishermen saw
Benton county pork soaring sky
high. That's going some, and that
they brought that soaring pork home
with them is even more remarkable.
AS the gentlemen were in the noun
tains they heard terrific squeal-
ing. They looked everywhere, and
finally one looked above, and in the
air saw a great bald eagle carrying
a pig that was making a great
racket. AS the fisherman looked,
the eagle dropped the pig, presum-
ably to kill 1t, as is their custom. 1t
seemed to the men that the pig fell
from a great height, but though he
landed with a dull thud, the little
porker was able to run, and he
scampered away in the direction of
our fishermen. They concluded to
capture him and did so. When he
was landed, the little fellow looked
like a red Berkshire but he was p
white Poland China, the red being
the gore with which he was covered.
A cash had been cut behind his
front leg and there were several
holes in his back, where the eagles
talons had held him. The pig,
which weighed about seventeen
pounds, was put into one of the
fishermen's baskets, which contained
no fish, and brought to Corvallis.
The animal is already a pet, has a
red ribbon around its neck, eats
from the hand and is allowed the
privilege of the parlor. The gentle.
men of whom the CT. inquired
about this gave the information with
the express understanding that their
names would not be used, but It may
be alright to indicate that one OF
these is a tailor and the other a
bakery man whose initials are
