SUPPORTS PRoGRESSIvES
Ex-Secretary Garfield Declares Progress
sive Republicans Must Save Party

In answer to an invitation to speak
before the new progressive republican
organization of Cleveland, Jas. R. Gar
field, former secretary of the interior
and warm friend of Colonel Roose-
velt, wrote to the organization letter
defining his attitude on progressive re-
publicanism.
1t is most timely to consider what
the progressive movement means and
what action it calls for" wrote Mr..
Garfield.
Those who seek to drive the pro-
gressives out of the party are blind to
the conditions and needs of our people.
Such partisans would save the word,
but kill the spirit. Today political lib
erty is at stake and the life of the ma
ton is threatened by great special in
terests who would control our political
activities for their own benefit regard
less of the common good. There is no
hallway ground in the fight today.
The special interests must be driven
out of politics and kept out. The pro-
gressives Of today will win the battle.

Baiiinger to Resign

Friends OF Richard A. Ballinger,
secretary OF the interior, have been ad-
vised that when he visits President Taft
at Beverly next Tuesday he will tender
his resignation, to take effect as soon as
a successor can be found. His determ-
ination to give up his portfolio does not
surprise his intimates here. 1t is known
that the many duties OF his Office and
the turmoil of public life have become
very burdensome, and he would gladly
have surrendered some time ago, but he
was involved in controversy with Gif-
ford Pinchot, which1 was a subject OF
investigation by congressional COM
mittee, and held the attention OF the
country. Mr.. Ballinger regards the result
Of that investigation as complete vim
dication for him and his administration
and believes that the time has come
when he can resign without the charge
being brought against him that he quit
under fire.

policy.
Mr.. Poindexter is a candidate fol
the United States senate and is politi-
cally opposed to that wing of the party
headed by Mr.. Ballinger, secretary oil
the interior
That was all the colonel wanted to
have put in quotation marks.
What he said otherwise made it
rather clear he had given assurance to
Mr.. Poindexter that he would support
him in his effort to gain the senatorial
seat now held by Senator Piles.
The insurgents arrived smiling but
excited. Presently they returned from
Sycamore Hill with the smile still there
but with the excitement replaced by
placid confidence. 1t was so with the
Washington man. At luncheon they
discussed the Ballinger-Pinchot occur
renee in detail in the course of their
talk on the political status of the north
west.
While the general opinion here is
that Colonel Roosevelt is still feeling
his way as regards his ultimate atti-
tude toward the Taft administration,
his stand today is considered the most
striking indication OF his political frame
of mind.
And that he will still fight hard for
the conservation movement he made
plain to interviewers when Mr.. Poin-
dexter had gone.
There have been two important in
surgent conferences at Sycamore Hill
since the Coloneps return, but more
are coming. One of the most poten-
tial Of these is arranged for Thursday
next. On that day five of the best
known and weightiest of the insurgents
are coming to talk with the ex-presi-
dent, but Mr.. Roosevelt declined to-
day to give out their names.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 5.-Theo
dore Roosevelt made it clear today, no
by direct statement, but by implication
so strong that it admits of no misinter
pretation, that he will support Repre-
sentative Miles Poindexter of Spokane
in his fight for seat in the Unitee
States senate from the state of Wash
ington.
They had luncheon together and {
conference at Sycamore Hill today and
Mr.. Poindexter departed iubilant.
In indorsing Poindexter for the SEN
ate Colonel Roosevelt places himself
squarely in opposition to R. A. Bal
linger, secretary of the interior, whom
President Taft has so warmly defended.
1t is the only stand he has taken bear
ing directly or indirectly on the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy.
Mr.. Poindexter is opposed to Secre
tary Ballinger from first to last. The
secretary and Mr.. Poindexter are both
from the state of Washington.
Leaving Oyster Bay after the confer
ence Mr.. Poindexter said:
Il found Colonel Roosevelt un-
changed. He and I have worked to-
gether always, and he assured me that
we always will work together. l am
delighted with the result of the visit. "
Colonel Roosevelt looked happy
when he received the interviewers a
little later. He was dressed in the
crash riding suit which he wears most
of the time at home. Seated in his
library he spoke of the talk with Poin-
dexter in manner that showed plainly
the pleasure the meeting had given
him. This is what he said:
Representative Poindexter and l
went over the political situation in the
Northwest. He assured me he was in
hearty sympathy with my conservation

The American Woman's League

The American Woman's League is a
sound business organization, which is
doing more to improve the social and
educational life of the women Of Amer
lea than any movement ever before
attempted in this country.
The requirement for membership in
the league is the simple securing oil
$50 worth OF new subscriptions to The
Echo or any of the magazines that are
cooperating with the league, full list
of which Cover 1907 will be sent on
request.
If 80 persons in Leavenworth will
each secure $50 in subscriptions the
league will build a beautiful chapter
or club house right here for the use oil
its members. The building will be
fully and completely furnished, equipt
with a library, meeting room, sales
room, kitchen, etc. A building OF this
description is needed here. 1t would
be a center of entertainment and COM
munity improvement in the town.
Buildings have already been erected
in many towns. Over 900 chapters
have been organized all over the United
States, from Maine to California.
Other towns have buildings com
pleted and occupied. Are we going
to let other towns beat Leavenworth2
Not only have they the buildings com
pletely furnished, but they receive
regular monthly remittance from the
headquarters of the league for the
maintenance of the chapter house, tc
pay for light, heat, etc.
Every chapter house is equipt with
beautiful grand concert phonograph
costing $225. Thirty records are sup
piled and changed every week, or a
often as the members desire, for 81
new records. What others can do, WI

Periis of the N0rthIand

Two prospectors from Alaska, wrecks
of their former selves, crawled over the
gang-plank of the steamer Umatilla at
Seattle few days ago. Both were
badly crippled and narrowly escaped
the northern billiards with their lives.
Vernon Brewster, aged As, an old and
experienced miner, was minus his toes
and his hands and arms were scared
with frost bites. VIM. Price, a younger
man, had lost his left leg above the
ankle and the toes OF his right foot.
Brewster was prospecting about $50
miles from Nome and started with his
dog team on a 15-mile mush. He was
caught in a storm and was out sixteen
days. When found, his legs and arms
were frozen stiff, but the resourceful-
ness Of the "sourdoughs" who rescued
him soon thawed him out and he was
sent on to the hospital at Nome by re-
lays of dog teams, reaching there and
securing medical aid in time to save
his limbs. He later gave an account
of the terrible ordeal through which he
had passed and it seemed little short oi
miracle that he survived. Driven to
desperation by hunger he killed one oi
his dogs, but the flesh proved nauseat-
ing to him and his remaining dogs re-
fused to eat it. Realizing in his frozen
condition that his case was about hope
less, he crawled into his sleeping bag
to await the end. The yelping of his
dogs attracted the searchers and thus
saved his life.
Prices experience, although more
serious in results, was OF shorter dura-
ton. He was caught in blizzard be-
tween roadhouses up the river from St.
| Michael and was lost three days. AL
though both arms and legs were frozen
he succeeded in reaching roadhouse
after the storm had abated. There he
was advised to soak his limbs in kero-
sene, which he did; but physicians at
St. Michael later told him that was the
worst thing he could have done. Gan
creme had set in and his left foot had
to be amputated, and it was only by
the utmost care that his other foot and
his fingers were saved.
These crippled men represent a
| mart of the price naid for Alaska gold.

republicans. They cannot be driven
out of the party because they stand fol
and fight for true representative gov
eminent. The house insurgents sue
ceeded in partially restoring the meas
ure OF representative action that had
been submerged in the control OF the
speaker and of the rules committee.
These men revolted not against the
republican party, but against certain
leaders of the party-leaders who were
seeking to use the party for special in
terests rather than for the public well
fare"
Isn't there danger that this insur-
gency business will develop sectional
spirit in the party and the nation2" he
was asked.
BY no means. On the contrary, it
has united the men of New England,
like Gardner, with the men of the mid
die West, like Madison, and they find
a common interest with Poindexter, the
insurgent of the far Northwest. Cali
fornia can certainly join Wisconsin in
this insurgency, for no matter how
varied the forms it may take, it is, in
the last analysis, merely straight out
fight against the rule of party and the
nation by special interests"

The largest land deal that has been
made in the viciniy of Wilbur for some
time was closed last week when Joseph
Kunz bought 800 acres of fine wheat
land from Bert La Fevre for $4,000.
The land lies north Of Wilbur on the Col
umbia ridge. Inasmuch as the crop
outlook this season is far from promising
the purchase OF this tract OF land at this
time and at such figures signifies much
in behalf Of the Big Bend country as a
great wheat-producing region. @
