GOOD ROADS PEOPLE SEND BIC
DELEGATION To ASSIST BILLS

Manifesting a direct reversal of
sentiment, the Umatilla County Good
Roads association held an impromptu
meeting this morning and decided to
send a delegation of ten members to
Salem to lobby for the good roads bills
now pending before that lawmaking
body. This delegation, headed by
President II. J. Taylor and Secretary
s r. Thompson left on No. II this
afternoon for the capital city and, If
it finds the amendments to the bills
as represented, will do its utmost to-
ward securing the passage of the bills
which will secure for the state i'm
proved and modern highways.
This action came as a surprise to
many people here because of the de-
cided stand which the local organiza-
ton has taken against the proposed
bills since their formation and intro
duction in the legislature.e However,
it was discovered that the opposition
was the result of misunderstanding
of the purpose of the bills, the men,
bers OF the association IN some man
ner having received the impression
that they proposed state appropria-
ton for the construction of a highway
between the Columbia river and the
California line. In asmuch as such
! bill would have been Of no benefit

State Engineer Declares OH
yer Tract Inadequate and
Undesirable.
ADMITS INFORMATION WAS
PREPARED IN GREAT HASTE
Tells Legislature State Might be Com
PEELED TO Extend Pcndleton's Sewer
Nile Down River for Protection and
Would be Compelled to Build Ex-
pensiye Dyke.

Salem, Ore, Beb. 6.-(SpeciaD-
State Engineer John II. Lewis in his
report on the Pendleton asylum site
submitted today, turns his guns on
the site. He admits however, that
his information was hastily prepared
hut says it is correct as far as it goes.
He said the present site is made
quate and in many respects unde-
sirable; that the state might have to
extend the Pendleton sewer a mile
down the river for protection; that the
construction of dyke to prevent the
flooding of the land would be neces-
sary; that the state would have to
build a reservoir in the mountains to
get water for irrigation and possibly
for domestic use and that the rail-
road would not build a spur up a three
per cent grade, so the state would be
compelled to make a heavy outlay for
this purpose.
Lewis recommended the purchase of
additional land needed for a building
site, if the plans presently considered
are carried out.

Corvallis, Ore, Feb. 6.-President
Kerr of the oregon Agricultural Col
lege estimates in his biennial report,
just being printed, that the farm crops
of the Willamette valley can be in

rigation. and that the hundreds of
thousands OF fertile lands in the east

work he Is asking the legislature in
his anual budget for funds for the es-
tablishment of a college extension de-
partment, through which the faculty
may also assist the people of the state
to surmount the difficulties arising
in the development OF horticultural,
dairying, and other agricultural inter-
ests. A dry farming experiment sta

SENATOR BURTON
ATTACKS LOR|MER
DECLARES HIS ELECTION
To SEAT Is. INVALID
Insists Fraud Was Rampant and Dis
honesty Widespread-Time TO Stop
Such Procedure at Hand.

Washington, Feb. 6.-In a speech
giving a comprehensive review of
precedents and analysis of the testi-
mony in the Lorimer contest, Senator
Burton (republican Ohio) declared in
the senate today that the election of
the Illinois senator to have been in
valid.
1T is perfectly evident" he said,
in conclusion, that fraud was 50 ram
pant and dishonesty so widespread in
this election that it is impossible to
separate the sound votes from the un-
sound votes. When there is indubi-
table proof as here, that fraud and
bribery have been resorted to, no one
can derive from the cess pool of cor
ruption any conclusion except that no
election was had. Undoubted proof
is available not only to show that 4
sufficient number of bribed persons
cast their votes for Mr.. Lorimer to in
validate his election, but also that on
other grounds than this there was
not a valid choice.
Legislative bodies have no mono
poly in disclosures of bribe-taking
and dishonesty. Townships, counties
and cities have shown the blight of
fraud. The time has come when this
must stop or the republic is in danger.
"The factor which must determine
whether popular institutions shall be
safe and do justice to all the people,
is the ballot boX-the voter in the
precinct or the legislative halls. When
ever bribery and corruption in cleo
tions shall ominously raise their
threatening heads, the people must,
and will act.
LIT is for the senate of the United
States, from its seat of honor and
power to declare that its record must
be unsullied and register its Judgment
for the principle that nowhere shall
= dishonest vote be cast, or a dishonest
count be tolerated.

tion of the state would have been re-
quired to share in the expenses, the
association went on record as opposed
TO the good roads bills and adopted
resolutions demanding that the legis-

movement, however, discovered the
error under which the association was
laboring and for some time have been
engaged in explaining the real intent

was the result and good roads advo-

staunch champions as they were enc

Los Angeles, Feb. 6-James j.
Jeffries, former heavyweight cham
pion Of the world dragged from re-
tirement as the white nope" and
beaten by Jack Johnson at Reno, has
been asked by thousands of persons
whether he will fight again. Weary
OF the question, Jefrries has decided
to make a single answer through the
United Press. He says it is the last

(By James j. Jeffries.)
intend what is written here shall
be an ultimatum, the tenor of which
cannot be mislnterpreted. 1t is my
hope that the public at large will con-
slider this my final word on a sub
iect that has caused me enormous per-
sonal inconvenience. I refer to the
question of whether l shall ever enter
the ring again.
l shall not attempt TO say how many
times l have answered that query
during the last six months. Hardly a
day has gone by without the question
being put to me. Day after day
have answered it seriously and square
ly. / have stated that 1 never shall
enter another ring But friends and
the public have refused to accept my
word. At least, l must believe they
have, in view of the fact that after
answering the question, l have, in the
next hour. been asked exactly the
same question.
1t has come to the point where l
and the members of my household
respond to the doorbell ring with the
reply to the question on our lips.
II someone were TO test patience by
asking you a certain question, say,
for instance, "how old are you?" day
in and day out, how long do you think
you could go to the door or the tele-
phone, hear the question asked and
answer it without losing your temper ?
For half a year, do you think?
1t would be difficult to explain
what 1t Is to go through such an ex-
perience. In my case, instead of one
person putting the question each day,
the query has come from innumerable
sources. What l want to say is that
while the question of whether lever
would fight another ring battle has
been asked by hundreds of person up
on hundreds OF different occasions. l
alone have been compelled to listen
to each inquirer separately, hear the
same metorphorus words, asking the
same question, that l have answered
countless times. This is the last ans
wer will ever make to that ques-
tion:
Under no circumstances shall ever
again participate in a public prize

ring for all time.
This is the decision l made month:

Massachusetts Senator Op-
poses Election Of Senators
by People.
"WOULD CREATE SECOND
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
Opponent Of Direct Elections Says
Under Proposed Regime Upper
House Would Have No Advantage
Over Lower-Insists Government
Would be Unable TO Protect Exist
cnce.

Washington, Feb. 6.-An attack on
the resolution to submit to the states
q constitution amendment for the
popular election of senators was made
by Senator Lodge (republlcan. Mas
sachusetts) in the senate today.
Reduced to its simplest FORM" he
said. IAN amendment providing for
the choice of senators by direct pop
ular election is merely a proposition
to convert the senate into a second
house of representatives with two con-
gressmen-at-large TO be called sena-
tors and hold office for six years"
His chief objection. however. was to
the section OF the resolution TO give
full control OF senatorial elections to
the states He said:
mo government can hope to live
II It cannot provide the means by
which II lives. II 1t cannot protect its
own existence. 1t is this very power
which this joint resolution proposes
TO destroy so far as II related to the
election Of senator's.
Not content with destruction. the
resolution by direct and affirmative
words gives the whole control of the
election OF senator's TO the several
states This plan violates the funda-
mental principles upon which the
trainers OF the constitution proceed
ed in establishing the government, the
principle which without they did not
believe and their belief was founded
on bitter experience. that any gov
ernment could possibly survive. 1t is
now proposed to put the United States
government, so far as the election of
senators is concerned, at the mercy
OF the states. II is proposed TO take
from the United States any power to
protect its own citizens In the exer-
else OF their rights. no matter how
great the need might be for such pro-
lection If this amendment should
become a law twenty-three states in
GLIDING. perhaps, only a minority of
the population, could at any moment
arrest the movement of the govern
ment and stop all its operations. To
change the mechanism Of choosing
senators, or presidents, or represen-
tatives, is a serious matter, requiring
careful consideration, but by this new
proposition strikes at the very root OF
the national government"
