WAVE LAST farewell

Marshfield, Ore, Jan. 14.-Scores
of watchers today are patrolling the
beach in the hope. that some of the
bodies of the "a victims of the
wrecked steamer Czarina may drift
inshore. Up until 10 o'clock this
morning not body had come ashore,
although yesterday the viscera of
some poor fellow whose body had
been torn asunder in the wreck
fioated in. Despite the assertions
of the life-savers, who say that per-
haps none of the bodies will ever be
recovered, friends and relatives of
the victims have not given up hope.
. c. j. Mills, general manager Of
the Southern Pacific interests here,
is prostrated today with grief over
the death of his only son, Harold,
who was among the last to desert
the doomed vessel. Mills was one
of the watchers on the beach, where
he had done virgil for "a hours, and
was a witness to his son waving a
farewell to the crowd on the shore
and then diving into the turbulent
sea.

of soils being carried on by the De-
partment of Agriculture and criti-
cizes the reclamation service, saying
that some of the projects in the
West. are likely to fail ebcause cf
lack of water and that too many
projects were set on foot for the
amount of money on hand. He says
that settlers have been invited to
take up supposedly reclaimed lands,
and now find that they have no wa
ter.
The failure to complete these
projects for their benefit is in fact
breach of faith" the President
says, "and leaves them in a most
distressed condition. This condi-
tion does not indicate any excessive
waste or any corruption on the part
of the reclamation service. 1t only
indicates an over jealous desire to
extend the benefits of reclamation to
as many states as possible"
He then recommends the issuance
of bonds from time to time, not eX.
ceeding $SO,OO0,0OO, to provide for
the completion of these projects.
What I have said is really an
epitome of the recommendations OF
the Secretary of the Interior in re-
spect to the future conservation OF
the public domain in his annual re-
port" President Taft concludes. "He
has given attention the problem
of the disposition of these lands un
der such conditions as to invite the
private capital necessary for theil
development on the one hand, anC
the maintenance of restrictions nee
essary to prevent monopoly ant
abuse from absolute ownership oil
the other. These recommendation
/. are incorporated in bills which h
has proposed, and are at the dispo

The President adds a paragraph
on the subject of forests, sayin
that they are under the control o
the Department of Agriculture, an
recommending a small appropriate
for re-forestration and the sale q
timber on all isolated tracts of fol-

FOOT BALL SQUAD

Last evening in the dining room
of Lausanne Hall, the football squad
of 1909 was given a banquet by DR..
Sweetland and President Homan.
However the coach presided alone
for the president was not present,
having left the city early yesterday
morning. Seventeen men besides
the coach and manager Pierce were
served. 1t was splendid repast
and the boys made onslaughts upon
it as though they were bucking the
line of their opponents.
At the close the men presented
DR.. Sweetland with handsome
stop watch in appreciation of his
services during the past season. Dr.
Sweetland has worked hard and
won the admiration and respect Of
every foot ball man and the student
body in general. He is deserving of
great credit for the good showing Of
Willamette the last season. At the
present time he is working just as
hard to turn out a good basket ball
team. Under his able direction
athletics at the university will un-
doubtedly flourish.

been made by the Secretary of the
Interior and to authorize the Secre-
tary Of the Interior to withdraw
lands pending the submission to
congress of recommendations as TO
legislation to meet conditions Or
emergencies as they arise"
He recommends that surface and
sub-surface rights be separated SO
as to allow the entry under the agri-
cultural laws of the surface and the
retention by the government Of
coal Or other mineral deposits on
public lands. He suggests that the
mining of coal be allowed on-a roy

amount of development yearly, and
says:

government control over property to
be developed by private capital in
such a manner as to secure govern

The President says that he will
not go into a discussion of the
mooted question as to whether wa.
ter rights in streams flowing through
government lands belong to the
Federal or the state governments
for disposition, but expresses the be.
lief that the federal government
through the ownership of the land
necessary to develop these watel
rights, can impose restrictions.
Under these conditions" he says
''if the government owns the adja

the water power by imposing re
strictions, on the disposition of tn

applies to all of the county, save the
city of Salem, and does not apply to
1t because the council fixed the levy
of one and one-half mills for the
same purpose, which is embodied
in the total levy for Salem as above
given.
Seven Towns Make Special Levies.
Seven towns in the county and SO
school districts and 16 road districts
have made special levies. The towns
are: Silverton, which has made a
levy of four mills; Stayton with a
levy of five mills; Woodburn with a
levy of seven mills; Aurora with a
levy of two and one-half mills; Mt.
Angel with levy of three mills;
jefferson with a levyof eight mills,
and Salem with levy Of six and
one-half mills.
Rivalry Between Towns Close.
A keen rivalry has existed for some
time between the towns of Woodburn
and Silverton as to their relative
size, and there has been considerable
dispute with relation to it. The
valuation of Silverton, which is
shown by the records to be $S25,75S,
shows that it at least has little
the best of Woodburn in this respect,
as its valuation is shown to be$774,-
S24, and 1t is maintained by those
conversant with affairs of this kind
that this is a good indication that II
is the larger town. The levy OF
Woodburn is six and one-half mills
and that of Silverton four mills.

RESIDENT TAFT SENDS
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
o. CONSERVATION
he Document Is EpOm6s the Recommendations of Sec
retary Bainger In His CaaS Iy Report and Since ncOr
porated Into Bills to Come 81 Ne Congress Very Shortly

Washington, D. c., Jan. IA
PRESIDENT Taft sent to Congress to-
day a message urging immediate
consideration of conservation legis-
lation without waiting for the result
of the investigation of the charges
4 against Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger. The President states
that his proposals are really an epi-
tome of the recommendation made
by Ballinger in his annual report
and says that iblls prepared by Bal
linger incorporate his ideas of what
should be done.
The message says that the early
idea in this country was to give
away al the public lands, and states:
There has developed in recent
years a deep concern in the public
mind respecting the preservation
and the proper use of natural re
sources. The problem is how to
save and how to utilize; how to con-
serve and still develop, for no sane
person can contend that it is for the
common good to hold that natures
blessings are only for unborn gen
erations. Among the most note.
worthy reforms initiated by my dis
tinguished predecessor were the Wig
orous prosecution of land frauds and
I the bringing to public attention of

TIN necessity for preserving the re-
naming public domain from further
spoilation."
The President declared that since
Secretary Ballinger has been in Of
fee, Withdrawals of water power
sites have been made on 102
streams, covering 220 per cent more
streams than were covered prior to
that date.
The present statutes, except so far
as they dispose of the precious met
ais and purely agricultural lands,
are not adapted to carry out the
modern view of the best disposition
of public lands to private owner
ship under conditions offering, on
one hand, sufficient inducement to
private capital to take them over,
and for proper development on the
other, which shall secure to the pub
lie that character of control which
will prevent monopoly or misuse, -
declared President Taft.
He said that the power of the
Secretary of the Interior to make
Withdrawals of public lands is not
now either definite or sufficient, add,
ing:
1T seems to me that it is the
duty of Congress now by statute &c
validate the Withdrawals that have

Now that he had committed himself

dispirited cynic Of yesterday, but an
eager, voluble optimist athirst for
knowledge and afire with impatience.
On the homeward drive he had bonn
barded Cherry with running fusillade
of questions, so that by the time they
had arrived at her house she was men
tally and physically fatigued. He
seemed Unsuitable, drawing from her
every item of information she pos
sessed. and although he was still hard
incisive, and aloof, it was in quite a
different way. The intensity of his con-
centration had gathered all feeling
into one definite passion, and had
sucked him dry of ordinary emotions.
In the days that followed she was
at his elbow constantly, aiding him at
every turn in his zeal to acquire a

Kansas City Journal says it is plain to
see two cross-state rock roads instead
of the one first proposed, could be built
between Kansas City and ST. Louis.
The Journal adds this argument for

"The general sentiment throughout
the state has become awakened to the
value of good roads and it is evident
that the day when farmer was kept
prisoner in his own home by roads
that would bog mosquito has passed
never to return. The feeling on the
subject is not confined to any one
part of the state. 1t is general and
quite as strong in the northwest and

BURLlNGToN's WHITE WAY.

Burlington has decided to adopt the
new system of street lighting in the
business district. The main business
streets are to have twelve lights to the
block, six on each side of the street,
and it is proposed to carry the wires
In conduits and thus remove the over
head wires. One of the Burlington
papers says of the proposed improve
ment:
At a meeting of business men held
yesterday afternoon at the CONNER
cial exchange the first definite step
was taken that will result in the bril-
liant illumination of the down town
section: Mayor Cross and Council
men Funck and Canny met with the
merchants and the mayor made a
brief talk commencing the effort to
beautify the city.
A committee Of four will be ap-
pointed to enlist the support of the
people in the business district, and to
arrange for the contract to light the
streets. The wires will be carried in
conduits and it is possible that all
electric light wires now in the air
may be placed in the tubes, thus elimi-
mating the unsilghtly feature.
The electric standard system as
used in other cities was discussed,
with the prices paid. 1t was agreed
that six standards to the block on
each side, would not be too many.
The expense to any one individual will
not be great, if every person in the
block who benefits by the lighting
will, contribute toward paying for the
lights.
The standards are to be uniform in
appearance, and the effect will be very
fine. It Is proposed to light Main
street from the Union station to Wash
ington, and Jefferson from Front to
Sixth streets. It is hoped that num-
Der of blocks in the side streets may
also be lighted.
Ottumwa has made a start in i'm
proving the down town street lighting,
but the plans as proposed for white

to $40 an acre to the value of the
farmers land which they border.
They also add immensely to the saw
ing on hauling products to market,
it being estimated that a good road
will lessen the cost in such cases to
tenth Of the cost on bad roads.
The chief value of good roads, how
ever, is that they awaken a new So
cial life in the rural districts, elimi-
mating the isolation and loneliness
which have been such large factors
in causing the boys and girls on the
farms to long for the illusory bright
ness and false gayety of the cities.
A country neighborhood which en-
joys good roads has more resources
for good fellowship among it's peo-
pie and social recreations among the
young folks than any city in the land.
In cities 1t Is work, work, work, and
the long hours and close confinement
are as rule fatal to healthy pleas,
ures or any sense Of independence.
In the country, on the other hand,
where good turnpikes abound, the
opportunities for play, for whole.
some pleasures and general social re.
laxations are in agreeable variety
with the work"
Ing cities in all parts of the state have
taken up the rock. road idea and it is
thought certain that work on many
miles. of macademized roads will be
started before the summer ends.
