~ ARIS. March 25.-The automo-

terrorized many districts of
France by carrying out an ex-
traordinary series sof crimes, have per-
petrated, during the last few DAYS other
daring crimes. which reached their
climax this morning in murder on the
public highway between Villeneuve-St.
George and Paris and the killing of
two employees of the Chantilly bank.

The exploits of the road pirates have
put rural France in a state of terror
and have created a tremendous i'm
preston upon the Imagination of Pa
risians.

of police, with allowing his admins
tration to get out Of date.
With view of coping with the ban

rior. has decided to introduce a bill in
the chamber of deputies tomorrow pro-

TT7 ASHINGTON, March %
M That Colonel Theodore
Y Roosevelt carried Oklahoma
as result of the lavish use
of money furnished by the Standard
Oil interests and other malefactors of
great wealth was the formal charge
made by the National Taft bureau last
night, in the form of letter from G.
A. Ramsay of Ardmore, Okla, ad-
dressed to the colonel himself
In a previous statement the Taft
bureau had pointed out that the
colonel evidently was misinformed
when he said that his victory in Okla
homa was the result of a genuine
primary since no primaries of any
kind were held in that state and the
elections were under the old conven-
ton system
Charges in Open Letter
The charge that the colone1s victory
was the result OF the lavish use of
money was made in the following
open letter, addressed to Roosevelt by
Ramsey, copies of which were given out
at the Taft headquarters:
Dear Sir: have noticed in the
press dispatches number of times
that you have referred to the cleo
tion of the two delegates in the
fourth Oklahoma district as exam
pies of the will of the people being
overridden. You state that at the
state convention held later you
were indorsed by delegates from
the same district 2 to 1.
That you may not deceive your
self longer and that the voters of
the different states may know the
exact facts. / will state in plain
words what every republican voter
here knows to be true. At the Coal
gate convention, held January 16
1912, your supporters had the ma
jority of the congressional commit
tee and attempted to organize the
convention by fair or foul means
resorting TO miscall and miscount
of the delegates. and when forced
to give a square dea.,T you were
beaten and President Taft indorsed
by a vote of 11S to 80. and c. w.
Miller of Hugo and myself elected
as Taft's instructed delegates by
similar vote. No more unfair means
were ever used in any convention
to override the will of the majority
than was practiced at this conven-
tion by your followers. The asser-
tion that you make that '.the same
district sent delegates to the state
convention instructed for you to
l. is false and misleading.
At the organization of the state
convention you had barely II dele
gates out of SO, or a smaller vote
proportionately than you had at
Coalgate. For your further infor-
nation, which may also be of inter
est OF the votes generally I will
say that the delegates to the state
convention were in a majority for
you because of the lavish use of
money furnished by the representa-
tives of the Standard Oil interests
and other "malefactors of great
wealth" in your behalf. Money was
furnished freely everywhere to
make your campaign, some counties
being absolutely bought up, and in
the case of Usage county a train
load of ESQ men was to the county
seat to overrun and outvote the
residents.
With such shameless methods of
procedure. if you are proud of your
Oklahoma vote you are welcome to
the same. With a fair primary to
our republican voters you would be
overwhelmingly beaten. ! have
been very conservative in my state
ment of the facts, which will be

away in second furious hurricane
| Boschke glanced up smiling from its
reading. "This telegram is lie" be
said. calmly. II built that wall to
stand" Then he turned to the work
| in hand. Double the force on mile
seventy-fve," he ordered. And the tele-
gram was lie. The alarming message
was based on a false report. The sea
wall had stood firm against storm
equal in severity to that which orig
inally destroyed the city.
The term Of central Oregon, as usnal-
ly applied in connection with railroad
development. means that portion of the
state between the Cascade mountains on
the west, the Blue mountains on the
east, the Mutton mountains on the north.
and the California line on the south.
The country, generally speaking, Is
plateau. rising to the south to an eleya-
ton of about 1900 to 1890 feet above
sea level II contains about 10000
square miles of promising agricultural
and timber land--a most desirable field
for railroad activity. The Deschutes riy-
er cuts down from the highest eleya-
tion through this tableland, reaching sea
level at the mouth OF the Columbia.
Previous to Mr.. Hills now notable
visit to Portland many railroads had
been projected into central Oregon, but
no actual construction work had been
done. A line had been built by the
Hartman system, connecting with their
mine line along the south bank of the
Columbia at Biggs, to Shankio, seventy
five miles south. This road follows
the contour Of the country. its profile
greatly resembling the teeth OF saw.
Another road, owned by private inter-
|ests. extended from The Dalles. on the
Columbia, to Dufur, thirty-fve miles
south To extend either of these lines
into the interior was impracticable, all
engineers agreed.
Entrance to the objective territory,
then was deemed possible only through
the Deschutes canyon. a gorge through
the heart of the Cascades. through which
the Deschutes river rushes turbulentsy
on its way to the ocean. At places tile
canyon is so narrow that the river runs
"on its edge" for hundreds OF yards On
either side are high banks OF solid rock
that rise sheer 1000 feet above the rh-
err bed. The river empties into the Co
lumbia at Cello. 100 miles east of Port
land. From Railroad War in the Noun

The Great Deschutes War.

The prize for which the Deschutes
war was fought was the control of the
great inland empire Of Oregon, a yir-
gin and undeveloped country almost as
big as the whole state of Indiana. The
rival powers were Hill and Hartman.
John II Stevens, fresh from his work
in charge of the Panama canal, had
James D. Hill as his hacker in the pend
ing struggle.
On the other side, chief in the field
was George w. Boschke, the man who
built the great sea wall at Galveston.
And while Boschke was leading the hight
in the Deschutes canyon occurred an in
cident which fairly measures the mettle
of the man.
Boschke was in camp forty miles from
railroad. A weary messenger, riding
painting horse, rode in and handed
to an assistant telegram. With fear
and sorrow the assistant laid the mes
sage before his chief. 1t announced that
