New York June 25.-Fresh from
conference with Colonel Roosevelt
at oyster Bay, Clifford Pinchot re-
turned today and praised the work of
the insurgents and criticised by in
nuendo, Ballinger and Wickersham,
and further announced that Roose-
welt will address the Colorado Live
Stock association at Denver in Sep
tember. He said he was glad Roose-
welt had shown an appreciation of
the men who supported the conserva-
tion program and the Roosevelt poll
icies. He also praised the insurgents,
saying: 81 feel cheerful over the in
surgents ability to make good bills
out of bad ones. Take the railroad
bill. Wickersham prepared it and it
was bad, but the insurgents rewrote
it and made it a valuable measure"
He refused to discuss his visit yes
terday with Former Secretary Car
field. Commenting on the attitude Of
congress towards conservation he
said: THE withdrawal bill was one
of nlre bills Ballinger recommended
and was thoroughly valuable to con-
servation as introduced The Garfield
National Conservation association
opposed the bill until it was modified
and when it passed, it was a good
bill. The insurgents services to the
nation have been remarkable. Con-
servation has been maintained. They
do not oppose development, but want
development in the publics interests
and not for special interests"

TWO ACRE TRACT
PAYS $1,000 PROFIT

Kelso, Wash.-H. X. Cronk has
raised berries for "a years. He is
past 6S years of age, a veteran OF the
war Of the rebellion and a resident
of Cowlitz county for many years
past He has had little opportunity
to study the science of the book
taught farmer, and has had no one to
show him the way to make a paying
proposition out of small place. That
he has been successful is due to his
own efforts as careful and observ-
ing gardener.
Mr.. Cronk farms" two acres From
his strawberries this year Mr.. Cronk
expects a gross income Of 800. Last
year more than $500 was realized, so
il will be seen that the output varies
but little each year.
From the other berries total or
between 5000 and 1000 pounds, at an
average price Of cents per pound
is expected this year This will bring
the total gross receipts for berries
alone up to $3.50. Besides these there
is a garden of onions, potatoes. etc.
which will come into bearing next
year. It will be seen that there Is a
profit of no small proportions in this
one little place.

Washington, June 25.-President
Taft signed the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill this afternoon and
also sent a special message to con-
gress expressing disapproval of the
haphazard way the river and harbor
improvements appropriations had
been distributed. He said he would
have vetoed all but for a few pro-
jects which should be fulfilled.
The resolution placing a million
dollars at the disposal of the presi-
dent to alleviate flood conditions in
the Colorado river introduced by Sem
ator Flint. was adopted without de-
bate. The president urged immedi-
ate action, saying the lives of hum
dreds and millions in property were
in jeopardy.
The resolution empowers the
president to secure the permission Of
the Mexican government to alleviate
the sufferings of Mexicans who are
victims of floods.
Signs Public Building Bill.
Washington. June 25.-President
Taft signed the public buildings ap-
preparation bill thereby setting at rest

last moment.

OUTBREAK AT MEXICAN
ELECTION Is FEARED

Mexico City, June 25.-Though the
country is quiet today. officials
throughout Mexico are preparing for
outbreaks tomorrow when the presi-
dental election will be held. 1t was

presidential candidate, against whom
the liberals and revolutionists are par
ticularly bitter, has withdrawn and
Theodore Depesa substituted. AS an
other indication that the administra-
ton wants to placate the populace,
il was announced that Felix Diaz,
nephew of the president, had resign
ed as chief of police. Every pre-
caution is taken against an outbreak.

DR.. c. J. SMITH TELLS THINGS
He LEARNED IN MIDDLE WEST

Wisconsin. Kansas crops appear to
be good and the situation is also
good in southern Illinois. The en-
tire middle west is afflicted with
drouth. 1t was first a cold drouth.
but the weather is now exceedingly
hot In Minneapolis the water sup
ply is wholly inadequate and lawns are
being ruined by the drouth. There
are hotels that cannot secure running
water above the first floors.
Using Better Methods.
According to Dr. Smith the crop
conditions would be serious indeed in
the middle west If farmers were still
using the methods that were in vogue
when he left Ohio 20 years ago. Since
that time however the influence of
the agricultural colleges throughout
the west has brought about a wonder
full change in farm methods, This is
now standing many farmers in good
stead.
Bankers Conservative.
Another feature of the situation in
the middle states according to Dr.
Smith, is the fact that bankers have
suddenly taken a firm stand against
realty investments, especially in Tex
az and in Canada. Money for land
speculation cannot now be secured
and this stand by the banks has af-
fected the realty world very ma
tcrially, DR.. Smith attributes this
situation partly to the poor crop con-
ditions and partly to a desire on the
part of banks to check over indul-
gence in the matter of land specu-
lation.
According to DR. Smith the meeting
of the national medical association
was a very interesting affair. West
ern men succeeded in landing the
next convention for Los Angeles. An
oregon man. DR.. r. C. Coffey of Port
land, was named as vice president Of
the association.

POLICE AND THUGS
BATTLE TO DEATH
ONE OFFICER, ONE CIVILIAN
AND THREE ROBBERS DEAD
Three Footpads Hold up Manufac-
turer and Kill Him and Later Po-
liccman-Posse Pursues and Kills
One, Another Shoots Himself
Third Is Captured.

Lynn, Mass, June 25.-After hav-
ing shot and killed John Landrigan,
and Policeman Carroll, three footpads
were pursued by posse of citizens
through the streets. one was shot by
la policeman, another committed sui
eide to avoid arrest and the third was
captured. The bandits held up
Landrigan, a shoe manufacturer, as
he was returning from the bank with
$4,000 to pay his employees. He re-
sisted and they killed him. 1t is be-
lieved the thugs had been watching
for some time and knew the victims
habits of going to the bank on Sat
urday's. Policeman Carroll arrived
and in a duel was killed. whereupon
citizens chased the bandits compell-
ing them to abandon their loot.

After busy three weeks tour OF
the middle states during which he
attended the convention of the nation
al medical association at st. Louis and
visited at his old home in Ohio, DR..
c. j. Smith arrived home today In
an interview this afternoon he talked
interestingly of his trip.
"Insurgcnts" are Strong.
Politics is now q live subject
throughout the middle states accord
ing to Senator Smith. He asserts
that almost nine men out of ten with
whom he talked expressed dissatisfac-
tion with the Taft administration.
/ There is n general tendency to the
democratic party, not because of any
particular faith in that party but as
a rebuke to the administration. How
ever the liveliest issue now on in many
middle states is that with respect to
the fight between the insurgents"
and regulars within the republican
party. According to DR.. Smith "in-
surgency" is strong throughout the
states he visited and he says there Is
much sentiment for a general political
rcalignment. Many believe that
Roosevelt will head a movement for
a new party. In Ohio, Harmon will
probably be reelected governor,
though there is a chance for a re-
publican to defeat him by taking a
strong position with reference to
county option. He thinks Beveridge
will be elected senator from Indiana.
Everywhere party lines are being ig-
nored.
Crops Are Poor.
All throughout the middle west the
crop outlook is poor according to the
doctor, and in some sections the sit
uaton is very bad. In Ohio there
will be but a so per cent wheat crop;
the outlook in northern Illinois is
bad. The situation in the Dakotas is
deplorable, likewise in Minnesota and

COMMERCE. COMMISSION
CAN'T RULE IN ALASKA

Washington. June 24.-The inter-
state commerce commission today de-
cided that it has no authority over
the railroad and steamship lines in
Alaska. The commission holds that
Alaska is not territory of the United
States in the sense in which the
phrase is used in acts regulating the
interstate commerce. The decision
relieves the Morgan -Guggenheim
syndicate, operating railways and
steamships in Alaska, of the COM
missions supervision.

protection for Americans in Nicara-
qua, and incidentally criticised the
Nicaraguan government. Madriz said
this country broke an international
law by interference.

tracts of land containing from 16C
to 200 acres were to be withdrawn
| These sites were to be located along
the banks of rivers so that they would
serve as a key to the water power of
| the streams, holding the water power
so that it could not be taken by. mi
| ners, ranchers or manufacturers who
might wish to use It.
This leads us to an important
question-to the consideration of a
| question that has been more discuss
ed during the past five years than any
| other public or semi-public question
or topic, that has been before the
| American people. 1t Is that of con
| servation.'
Meaning of Conservation.
But what do they mean by con-
servation. The exponents of the doc
trine say they would conserve our
timber, they would conserve our coal
they would conserve our oil and they
would conserve our water power. But
how can we conserve our water pow
er better than by building dams. stor-
ing up the water, letting 1t loose
again to turn wheels, operate facto-
ries, move trains and reclaim land?
They tell us there is million
horsepower available in the Deschutes
river in Oregon AS a matter of fact
there is more than that amount.
There is 100000 horse power to be
developed from that stream. They
tell us they would conserve this. Con-
serve it to what and for what?
They tell US by conserving this
that they would save a million dollars
to the people. What do they mean ?
They mean that If this water power
is held by the government and leased
out to users of power that it would
bring in a revenue of a million dol
lars.
West Disseminated Against.
But | ask you, why should this
be done? Why should the people
who develop the water power avail
able in the Deschutes river pay into
the treasury of the United States
government a million dollars or any
other sum? Do the developers OF
water power in the older states pay
anything into the treasury? No,
they do not. Then why should we?
"The conservationists would have
the general government demand a
royalty upon the coal that is mined.
Upon what coal? In the coal that is
to be found in oregon, that is to be
found in Washington, that is TO be
found in Idaho and the millions of
tons that are to be found in Alaska.
In Pennsylvania? No! In any of the
states east of the Mississippi river?
No.
81 am willing 20 be taxed upon
anything and for any amount so long
as all the people of all the states are
taxed in the same manner but / am
unalterably opposed to paying taxa
ton upon anything-great or small,
that the people of the east are not
taxed upon Not in any single one of
the older states is there tax upon
the development of natural resources.
1t is only the people of the Pacific
Coast states and territories who are
compelled to to pay a tax upon the
coal they mine and burn, upon the
timber they use and upon the water
power they develop.

There is more coal in these west
ern states than in all the remainder
of the union and we should bear in
