A physician was knocked down and
robbed while on his way to see a pa
tent His pockets were rihed. and
one of the articles stolen was elm
ical thermometer with which he had
earlier in the evening taken the tenn
perature of patient. He remem-
bered the temperature registered and
also that he had not shaken down the
mercury before putting the thermom-
eter in his pocket. He communicated
these facts TO. the police. Some time
afterward thermometer registering

cred In a pawnshop, and the police
were enabled thereby to track the doc

STATE WILL BUY
STILL MORE LAND
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS
WILL BE STARTED SOON
Hendricks and Myers Refuse to Sell
at Reasonable Prices and Their
Farms May be Condemned.

For the purpose of completing the
branch asylum site and farm, the
state has already purchased two ad-
ditional tracts of land adjoining the
Oliver place and is preparing to start
condemnation proceedings against two
other owners in the event suitable
terms cannot be made with those men
As announced yesterday by State
Treasurer Kay deals We're closed for
the purchase of the George Roberts
place and for the Patton tract. The
Roberts tract comprises "a acres and
is mostly hill land. However there
is some bottom land on the place and
the deal also conveys to the state
water right of much value. The price
of $3.50 per acre was paid Mr.. Rob-
erts
For the William Patton place of
five acres the sum of $25O0 was paid.
The Patton place is all tillable bot
previous owner.
The state wishes to buy the Hen
bricks tract of ten acres and also the
Myers place. Upon the Hendricks
tract the state had an option under
whiih it could buy the land for $4,000.
However he option expired and Mr..
Hendricks now asks S4500 for the
land and says that urfless that sum is
paid within ten days he will advance
the price to $4,000. Thus far the
state has been unwilling to pay $4,000
for the tract and it is probable that
condemnation proceedings will be un-
dertaken. The same course may be
taken with reference to the Myers
tract.
To Use Prisoners.
1t is the intention of Governor
West to use some of the prisoners of
the penitentiary in doing a portion
of the work on the branch asylum.
AS he has exclusive charge of the PEN
itentiary he may send the prisoners
wherever he desires and he has a
scheme for using some of the meri-
torious men in doing a portion of the
work here. He intimated yesterday
that the Roberts house may be used
as quarters for these men. The men
will be without guards and will work
under the honor system.
Stevens Here Tonight.
Jonn stevens, .tne railroad enSl-
neer, who is to make an inspection of
the river and report the needs with
regards to levee work will reach here
tomorrow morning. Word to this ef-
feet was received today from Mr..
Stevens by T. F. O'Brien, agent for
the O.-W. company. Stevens is with
the Corvallis & Eastern.
Governor West, Treasurer Kay and
Superintendent Steiner all returned
to Salem by way of Walla Walla last
night.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-Ad-
mltting that by a reciprocal arrange.
ment the United States and Argentine

Secretary Of state Knox and Secre-
tary of the Navy Myer today are pre-

course OF action. One transaction is as
dishonest, as depraving as the other,
but the latter is more dangerous,
more insidious, more corrupt. more
pernicious than the former because It
strikes at the very foundation of free
institutions, sets a precedent for cor
rupt methods in all Official life and
marks the beginning of dictatorship
and decadence of the nation.
Power Abused.
But Mr.. President, the use of the
appointive power to influence tne
election of members of congress is
only one means by which this power
may be abused. Federal patronage
Is also an effective and dangerous
power when welded for the creation
or maintenance of a political machine
that the purpose of forcing the noms-
nation Of an executive, or the nomina-
ton of a man of his character.
Mr.. Bourne outlined the manner in
which the evil employees are some
times used to control national con-
Ventions and particularly he COM
planned Of their use in sending dele
cations from southern states which
never send republican representatives
to electoral colleges.
Concluding, he said
Extension of the power of the ex-
ecutive is the beginning of dictator
ship. The remedy is to make presi-
dents directly accountable to party
and celebrates by enacting laws Lor
president primary votes, thereby de-
stroying the power of political boss
es,and their hackers, the campaign
contributors. The people can be
trusted.
The composite citizen knows more
and acts from higher motives than
any single individual, however great
or well developed. In the composite
citizens, a selfishness is minfmized.
while in the individual it is usually
dominant"
No one knew the character of the
speech Senator Bourne intended to
make when he took the floor.
Although qualified by the question
of whether President Taft gave ap-
proVal to the patronage letter, the
speech was taken by most of the sem
ators present as a direct arraignment
of the executive, and tantamount to
n charge that he had violated his
oath of office in the manner of ham
ding the appointive power.
In spite of the fact that the sem
ators were surprised no one saiu
a word in defense of the president
nor attempted to interrupt the Ore
gon senator in his delivery. Until re-

MIXED BLOOD INDIANS LIVE
LONGER THAN FULL BL0ODS

That the mixed-blood Indian lives
longer than the full blood, is indicat-
cd by records on file in the office of
Major Swartzlander, agent on the
Umat'lla reservation near this city.
These records show that of the 954
persons who were given allotments on
the reservation in 1891 and 1892, but
524 are living, 430 having died dur
ing the intervening 20 years.
The Cayuses and Umatillas are re-
garded as the fullbloods while the
walla wallas are regarded as mixed
for the reason that there are very
few fullblood members of the last
named tribe living.
The records referred to above
show that while about so per cent of
the Cayuse and Umatilla allottees are
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-02-28

dead that but 80 per cent of the Wal
Ia Wallas are dead
The exact figures are as follows:
Umatillas-living, S5; dead, 80.
Cayuses-living, 100; dead, 179.
Walla Wallas-living, 279; dead
1874
These figures and records seem to
controvert the popular belief that the
half and quarter-breeds more readily
fall victims to the diseases which are
decimating the ranks of the Red man
than do the full blood. For the most
part the Cayuse and Umatilla alottees
are descendants of the original men,
bers OF the tribe while those claiming
to be members of the Walla Walla
tribe are very badly mixed with
whites.

Fresno, Calf, Feb. 2S.-Dragged
through the gutter for three blocks
and subjected to the violence of three
hundred rioters, a member of the In
dustrial Workers of the World who
attempted to speak on the streets
here yesterday, is in a hospital Sc
verely injured.
The rioting followed the refusal of
the sheriff to receive any more in
dustrialists in the county Jail. With
in twenty minutes after they had
been put to work on the roads today
the industrialists quit and were lock-
ed in Jail again. The men an
nounced their willingness to break
rock for the county but would not
work for the city unuer any circum-
stances.

between 600O and 1000 acres and the
land held by the so making applica-
tion for final patent amounts to
about 1000 acres.
AS rapidly as patent is issued the
land is placed upon the tax rolls and
the county is enriched by that much.
AS long as the land is held in trust
by the government it cannot be tax
ed
The developments thus far indicate
that the really competent Indians are
not going to ask for patent and will
therefore escape the payment OF tax
es, while the ones who are anxious
to dispose of their holdings to the
whites, who are just as anxious to
buy, are going to get their deeds from
the government as rapidly as pos
sible.

ONE HUNDRED INDIANS ON
RESERVATION ARE COMPETENT

The first report of the competency
commission appointed by Commission
er of Indian Affairs Valentine was
made public this morning by Major
L. L. Swartzlander, the agent on the
Umatilla reservation and member
OF the commission. This report shows
that 100 alotees were found to be able
to care for their own business affairs
and the commission recommended
that these men be given their patents
and allowed to do with their lands as
they saw fit.
The commissioner thereupon direct
ed the agent to have all those who de-
sired to obtain patent to their lands
to make application to the depart
ment. So far but 80 of the 100 have
made this application.

ette law passed several years ago,
was repealed, as it had not been en-
forced.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-02-28

Washington, Feb. 2S.-President
Taft, by inference, was charged last
night with using his appointive pow
er to intimidate members of congress.
The inferred charge was made in a
speech in the senate by Senator JON
athan Bourne of oregon. president OF
the New Progressive Republican
league, and until recent trouble over
an oregon appointment. the intimate
friend and golfng companion of the
chief executive.
The surprising thing was that al
though all of the senators construed
his remarks as an attack on the pres
ident. not a word was uttered in re-
ply.
The Beverly letter. in which Secre-
tarpNorton said the president had
withheld federal patronage from GER
tain senator's and congressman, but
would discontinue that practice, was
brought into the limelight On pre-
vious occasions, insurgent senator's
threatened to read this letter, but un-
til last night no public reference had
been made to ii.
Discusses Oregon Law.
Mr. Bourne opened his speech by
a discussion OF the oregon law. He
said when that law is enacted by all
the states II will destroy the power
OF the federal machine to renominate
a president or demand his successor.
"The steam roller" he said, ''wdl
be relegated to the political scrap
heap and it's operators to the shadow
OF things forgotten. while fourth
class postmasters will cease to be a
political asset for anybody or any par
ty."
Senator Bourne said the use of the
presidential appontive powers to
coerce members of congress- would be
either bribery or intimidation brib
cry IL patronage was used as a re-
ward, and intimidation If withheld as
a punishment. In this connection he
read section $3.50 of the revised stat
utes. making 1t a crime for any per-
son to offer or give anything of We lue
to any member of either house of con-
gress with intent to influence his
vote or decision in any matter pend
ing in either house.
Continuing. he said:
Used Federal Patronage.
"The nctural inference from the
Norton letter Is that the president of
the United States used federal pat
ronage to influence the action of
members OF congress. This Is a
charge which no citizen can discuss
without regret, yet the whole subject
is of such vital Importance in the
preservation of representative govern
ment that / would feel remiss in my
duty II l failed to call it to the at

fore the country such information .c-
lating thereto as may come to my at

makes a deplorable and despicable
subservience on the part of the legis-
lative branch and L dangerous and
demoralizing usurpation upon the
part OF the executive.

votes at the polls, as for president
