freight warehouse theft cases have
been ended. Both men had pleaded
guilty. Dickens was sentenced TO
serve year in the county Jail and

G. Spencer of the legal department OF
the road. he was paroled during good
behavior. Ely was fined $50, the same
sum which was assessed against Will
liam Edwards, three weeks ago.
other railroad men were implicat-
ed in these thefts which We're carried
on Systematically here for number
of months, but owing To the inability
of the officers to secure evidence suf-
ficient to secure convictions the cases
against them were dismissed. The
reports which were published at the
time to the effect that Pendleton mer-
chants We're mixed up in the matter
were found to be absolutely false and
without the slightest foundation In
fact.
Following the sensational arrest OF
these three men, in the middle of the
night, several months ago, Dickens
made complete confession implicat-
ing not only the other two employees
who were arrested but also other en-
ployes who have not been arrested

AERoPLlNE WAR FACTORY.
Latham's Flight at $500 Feet Opens
Ewes of Aviation World.

Paris.-Hubert Latham's high flight
recently, when he attained an altitude
of approximately $500 feet, or nearly
quarters of mile, has aroused
the greatest enthusiasm among avi-
ators. who consider that it pressages
great things for 1910. Latham says
there is no reason why he should not
have mounted still higher.
Bleriot declares that the aeroplane
is destined to surpass the dirgible
balloon as an engine of war. Artil>
lery officers agree than an aeroplane
having n speed of fifty miles an hour
and flying at the height reached by
Latham would be invulnerable in time
of war, as no gun could be trained
upon it.
The machine used by Latham was
an Antoinette monoplane used by II.
s. Hardness of New York.
Baron d'Estoreelles de Constant to-
day issued public appeal for funds

WITH CONSPIRACY YET
Former Superintendent OF Oregon

His Name of Blot-Contends His
Reports Were Honest and True
Week Closes With Hermann Un-
implicated in Blue Mountain Fraud

Portland Jan. 14.-Captain g. b.
Ormsby, former Oregon forest super
intendent, tottering with age and pail
sled with illness, furnished the only
feature of the Binger Hermann trial
today, when he pleaded piteously for
vindication from the criticisms that
have been heaped upon him during
the past five years because of his con-
nection with the Blue Mountain for
est reserve case. During the cross
examination by the defense, he asked
TO be allowed to explain away the
charges which have been made
against the honesty Of his reports,
contending that no matter how many
people went over the lands examined
| by him or how many reports were
made, no fault could be found with
| his recommendations made to the
general land office because they were
true. And, he contended, they were
! Just as honest as they were true.
The Hermann trial is coming to the
| last day of its first week without any
direct connection between Hermann
and the other members of the alleg-
ed conspiracy being shown. With the
exception of the Meldrum testimony,
which relates conversations between
Hermann and Meldrum, regarding the
proposed reserve, no testimony. has
connected Hermann in any way the
conspiracy.

servation of our natural resources"
Then he proceeded:

linen ne proceeueO:
"At this critical period, when the
goal was in sight, enemies Of con-
servation in congress not only Sue
ceeded in preventing an appropriation
with which to pursue the work, but
attempted to forbid its progress by the
Tawney amendment to the last sundry
civil bill. Thereupon the work OF
the national conservation ssion
was stopped.
1.-THE recommendations of the com
mission still wait for action. All wise
men agree that the situation is solo-
Gus. The Tawney amendment was
more than a mistake-it was a dellb-
crate betrayal of the future.
THE dangers which confront the
conservation movement today must
be met by positive action in con-
gress. No action will be equivalent to
bad action and will have the same re-
suits.
Says Water Powers in Danger.
"Unless congress acts, the water
powers will pass into the hands of
special interests without charge and
without limit of time. So with the
phosphate deposits on public lands,
when the Withdrawals which now pro-
tect them are removed. So with the
enormously valuable coal deposits in
Alaska, which the present law would
sell for $40 per acre.
"The danger of bad legislation is no
less serious. The special interests
must no longer be allowed to take
what they choose out of the great
property of all the people. Those who
steal public lands steal homes from
men and women who need them. Con-
gress can stop the pillage, or congress
can let it go on.
"In the absence of proper action
two great conservation plans for the
public welfare may fail. The first Is
the control of water powers on nav
igable streams in the public interest
The second is the construction of the
deep waterway from the great lakes
to the gulf.
Benefits Exceed Cost
The unanimous opinion of the
Mississippi valley recognizes this
waterway as a commercial necessity
Il believes, with reason, that the cost
which is already officially known, vii
be trivial, when compared with tn
benefits conferred. Transportation
: facilities create traffic. The failure t
develop our waterways, together witt
adequate terminals and connection

piete monopoly of transportation II

sidering Conservation Legislation
Says Ballinger Has Withdrawn
Many Waterpower Sites-Recom-

Washington. Jan. 14-President
Taft sent to congress today a message
urging the immediate consideration of
conservation legislation without wait
ing for the result of investigation of
charges against Secretary of the inte
rior Ballinger Taft states his
proposals are really an epitome Of the
recommendations made by Bal,inger
in his annual report, says that the
bills prepared by Ballinger incorpor-
ate his ideas on what should be done.
The message says that the early
idea of this country was to give away
all public lands and states: There
has developed in recent years a deep
concern in the public mind respecting
the preservation and proper use of
natural resources. The problem is
| how to save, how to utilize, how to
| conserve and stin develop, for no
sane person can contend it is for the
| common good to hold natures bless
! ings only for unborn generations.
! Among the most noteworthy reforms
! Initiated by my distinguished pre-
! iecessors were the necessity for pre-
! illS Nlit BuOllN bpAAAiiiA AA'''' AS-
ther despoilation."
/ The president declared that since
I Secretary Ballinger had been in office
( Withdrawals of waterpower sites mao
been made on 102 streams, covering
22g per cent more streams than was
covered prior to. that date. He said
the power of the secretary of the in
terror to make Withdrawals of public
lands yas not now either definite OF
| satisfactory, adding: "It seems tc
me it is the duty of congress now by
a statute to validate the Withdrawals
which have been made by the secre-
taTy of the interior, and to authorize
the secretary of the interior 10 with
draw lands pending the submission t.
congress of recommendations as tC
legislation to meet conditions oil
emergencies as they arise"
He recommends that surface and
subsurface rights be separated to al
low the entry under the agriculture
laws of the surface and the retention
by the government of coal or othe
mineral deposits beneath the publi'
lands He suggests that the mining o.
coal be allowed on the royaltA basis
requiring a certain amount of deVel
opment yearly.
Avoids Mootcd Question.

4 solitary survivor, Harry Kentzel,
first assistant engineer of the wrecked
vessel. is the only living testimonial
to the heroic efforts which were made
by the United states life saving crew
and citizens of Marshfield to aid the
stricken crew of the i'll fated steamer.
That Kantzel is alive is a miracle.
With six or seven others he took ref
uge in the rigging of the foremast.
Sea after sea broke over the vessel
the decks were washed and wreckage
was floating about. Suddenly tre-

and Kentzel and his companions were
washed from their places.

KentZel was swept toward Iand but
time and again was carried out to
sea. He is a strong man and after
fighting for what seemed to him ages,
he managed to get hold of piece of
timber and was gradually washed
ashore. As he neared the beach he
could see the people running up and
down the beach Finally his senses
left him and he knew nothing more
until he came to consciousness on the
beach alongside a big fire. He had
been taken from the water by watch
ers and was brought back to life after
several hours vigorous treatment.
When darkness fell it was believed
that all were lost.
