from Cn0 SCdC0 VI washing Wi,
and for two terms, from 1889 to
1893, was it's sole representative
in the lower house. His three
terms in the house of represent
atives and one term in the sem
ate were in the formative period
of the new state. Little had
been done here in the way OF
public improvements by the fed
eral government. When he first
went to Congress no surveys had
been made for the improvement
of Washington's rivers and har-
bors; there were no public build
ings worthy to be called such;
postofices were few and scatter
ing; there were no supports, no
navy yard, assay office, marine
hospital or quarantine station.
Such improvements as light
houses, light saving stations,
fish hatcheries, forest reserves,
irrigation projects and army
posts were either non-existent or
few and far between, The gov
eminent had not formulated or
undertaken to carry out it's plan
for terrifying Puget Sound.
In the Fifty-frst and Fifty-second
congresses when Mr.. Wilson was
the sole representative of the State
in the house of representatives,
Watson C. Squire and John B.
Allen were in the senate. in the
Fifty-third congress W. H. Doc
little served with Mr.. Wilson in
the house, and Washington had
but one senator, Watson G.
SQUIRE. In the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress, Mr.. Wilson served in the
senate and the representatives
were w. H. Doolittle and S. G.
Hyde. In the Fifty-ffth congress
George Turner elected by the Pop
ulists and Democrats, was senator
and w. G. Jones, Silver Repub-
lican, and James Hamilton Lew
is, Democrat, were in the house,
while Mr.. Wilson was the only
Republican member from Wash
ington in a congress that was
Republican.
During those early days of
Washington's statehood, the del
egation in congress accomplished
things. The acquaintance form
ed by Mr.. Wilson during his
longer service in congress made
him an important factor in the
work, and, indeed, he was chiefly
instrumental in securing for
Washington the things so needed
for the states development. Not
all the things he was instrument
tai in securing can be put down
in a brief summary, but below
are a few items which are impor-
tant, in all of which Mr.. Wilson
had a very large part, more than
usually falls to the lot of any
one congressman or senator, for
the reasons stated above. When
he says he put certain measure
through either house or senate
the record will show that he did,
and it is certain that had it not
been for his interchangeable and
tireless energy many OF those
vital projects would have failed.
Following are some of the items
which Mr.. Wilson was chiefly in
strumental in securing:
Appropriation for the Navy
Yard, Puget Sound .........S 567,654

JOHN I. WILSON'S CONGRESSIONAL RECORD

against the admission of Chinese
coolies to the United States and
voted to prohibit the immigra'
ton of Chinese, on the final pas
sage of the Geary bill through
the house. He secured the pas
sage through the house of rep
resentatives of an act opening
half of the Colville Indian reser-
votion; an act to settle title to
lands in Chelan, Okanogan coun-
ty. in the actual settlers; an
amendment to the Indian appro-
priation bill opening the Puyallup
Indian reservation; an act ratify-
ing an agreement between the
Puyallup Indians and the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company
for a right-of-way through the
reservation.
In the fty-third congress,
he secured the adoption of an
amendment to the sundry civil
bill adjusting and adjudicating
land titles for farmers in East
ern Washington; an amendment
to the army bill establishing the
army post on Magnolia Bluff,
now:known as Fort LaWton; an
amendment to the Utah admis-
sion bill to increase the land
grant for agricultural colleges
from 10000 acres to 200, 600
acres. The agricultural college
amendment was defeated in the
senate.
In the fifty-fourth congress,
he secured the passage of an act
through the house of representa-
tives extending the mineral land
laws to the Colville Indian res
ervation, but exempting from
such entry land allotted to the
Indians or used by the govern
ment or by any school.
In the Fifty-fifth Congress,
Mr.. Wilson introduced in the
senate and secured the passage
of bill establishing Rainier Ma
tional Park; secured the adop-
ton of an amendment to the In
dian appropriation bill, providing
for boys dormitory, water and
sewerage system for the Puyal-
lup reservation; introduced and
secured the passage of bill
thsough the senate authorizing
a steel bridge over the Snake
river; secured the amendment to
the tariff bill putting duty of
So a thousand on lumber.
AS a member OF the labor COM
mittee in the house of represent
atives, Mr.. Wilson worked for
the passage of a bill to compel
the railroads to adopt a safe and
uniform method of coupling cars.
He was instrumental in establish
more than $50 postofices in this
state, and through his efforts
hundreds of pension claims of
old soldiers were allowed.
Votes on important questions:
In the Fifty-second congress,
Mr.. Wilson voted for the enforce
ment of the eight-hour law;
against the reduction of the duty
on wool. In the Fifty-third Con-
gress he voted to extend the time
for doing assessment work on
mining claims; for the removal
of duty on barbed wire fencing;
against repeating the duty on
coal; for the resolution for an
amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of sem

Another election seems to be ap-
preaching. This paper has witnessed
so many that they have grown to be
monotonous, and it views the next one
with indifference. 1t would rather not
be disturbed, in fact, by the troop of
urbane candidates who never show up
until election time, and then come
around to make themselves solid"
with the proletariat This would be all
right, but they generally consider it
essential to call and see the editor, and
nearly always drop in when he is his
very busiest. Sometimes they sub
scribe-and the paper is glad, of
course, to get subscribers-but the
kind who only consider it worth hav-
ing when they happen to be out for
office are not received with any mark
ed degree of enthusiasm, IL they only
knew it. Their money will be accepted
with an outward show of gratitude
and an inward grin. An election with
us is no longer a thing of joy. II is not
exciting. 1t is almost a bore. This pa
per would be well enough pleased if
Umatilla County were to have no cleo
tion next November and could retain
its present set of county officers, whom
it considers capable men.

COMING HORSE SHOW
Big Event VIII Be Held i'm Salem,
April 8 and o.

The Annual Horse Show at Salem
portant events of the year in the Will
annette Valley, and this year it is to
be a two-days event, Friday and Sat
urday, April 8 and 9.
The feature of the second day will
be the live stock sale, which will take
that buyers and sellers will both as
semble from all parts of the Valley,
and as the entries of stock for sale
are to be printed in catalogue form
and mailed broadcast there should be
no difficulty in finding buyers for all
the available horses in the country.
Last year the Horse Show was equal
to the horse show at the Oregon State
Fair in many particulars, and 10000
people were in the city to witness the
event. This year it is expected that at
least $4,000 will be guests of the Cap
ital City during the two days of the
show, and low rates for round trips
have been granted on all railroads.
The Horse Show Association, of
which C. L. Dick is president and R.
C. Paulus secretary, has effected a
permanent organization so that this
event will be handled in a business
like manner from year to year. 1t is
planned to erect bleachers and grand
stands along the streets, which will be
carefully taken down and stored for
another season; and a movement is
already on foot to erect a $25, 900 aud
itorium in which this event may be
held in the future.

LEG BROKEN BY FALL
Judge j. L. Collins Painfully Injured
by Frightened Horse.

Judge j. L. Collins, pioneer lawyer
of Polk County and one of Oregon s
we'll known citizens, met with an ac-
cident in which he sustained broken
leg at the country home of his daugh-
ter, Miss Nellie Collins, near Falls
City, last Thursday evening.
Judge Collins had stepped into the
barn short time after dark to feed a
horse. The animal became frightened
and began rearing and plunging about.
In the darkness, the Judge was knock
ed down and one of his legs was bro
ken just below the knee.
A telephone message from the Col
Inns home this afternoon brought the
good news that the Judge is resting
comfortably and that the prospects
are bright for the rapid healing of the
broken bones, Notwithstanding the ad-
vanced age of the injured man. Judge
Collins has the sympathy of many
friends in his misfortune, and reports
of the progress of his recovery will be
anxiously awaited.

REED DRAWS CROWDS
Many People Flock to Hear Noted
Evangelist.

The union evangenstic meetings in
the Colosseum Rink are drawing large
crowds nightly. The attendance at each
service numbers more than 500 peo-
pie, and it is estimated that fully 1000
were present at the Sunday night
meeting.
OF the 102 seats provided for the
chorus, 60 were filled Sunday after
noon. After rendering a few choice Sc
lections at each service, this chorus
leads in the general singing. The mu-
sical program is conducted by Pro-
fessor Clay Grant, a conductor and
singer of considerable ability.
Evangelist Reed is an>able and en-
tertaining speaker, and his sermons
are listened to with rapt attention by
the large Audiences. All of the resident
ministers of the city have seats on the
platform, and a marked spirit of unity
in the good work is in evidence.
The churches hold their respective
Sunday morning services as usual, but
all Afternoon and evening meetings are
held in the rink.
