THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1902. TO WATER THE LAND Government Finding Reser voir Sites Easily. SMALL PROJECTS COME FIRST Oregon May Xot Be the Scene of Ini tial Work Since the 3Iot Desir able Locntlons Have Been Se lected Under the Carey ACt. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sept. 8. Chief Hydrographer JCewell, of the Geological Survey, -who lfl Just back from a tour of Inspection In the West, says such satisfactory progress has been made with the examination of feasible reservoir sites that In all proba bility the work of construction on the first approved project, under the- new law, can be commenced early next Spring. Mr. Ncweli's idea is to begin with the con struction of several projects of medium proportions with the funds now available, getting the moft promising under way before the contract for the second Is let. and so on until the aavllable funds arc 'utilized. On his recent trip, Mr. Newell found a number of projects which give promise of entire success, and he says there will be no difficulty In making a. good start. In .inaugurating this work, an attempt will be made to construct systems where the maximum number of settlers may be provided for on reclaimed lands at the minimum ccet. and where, by quick con struction, the funds arising from the dis posal of water rights will be returned to the reclamation fund in the shortest pos sible time. The several field parties now at work are making satisfactory prog ress, and will continue work until late in the season, when those In the Northern States will be transferred to the South west, where they will continue through the Winter. Mr. Newell found a peculiar condition existing In Oregon. Washington and Ida ho, where the most desirable rcervoIr eites have already been segregated under the Carey act. For this reason, it Is more than probable that none of the Initial projects will be undertaken there. Should these states, however, experience difficul ty in procuring funds with which to carry out their proposed projects, he fays the Government later would bo very glad to step in and undertake improvements on one or more of these sites. It Is yet pos sible that some exceptionally good site may be disclosed In the Blue Mountains, In which event it would be given due con sideration with those most favorable re ported. GEER'S SILEXCE PUZZLES IT. State Department Desires nn Ansivcr about Riot With Chinese in Oregon. OREJ30NIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 8 (Special.) The State De partment is at a loes to account why Governor Geer has made no reply to Its telegram of Ailgust 30, in which It laid before him the complaint of the Chinese Legation that the Oregon authorities had taken no steps to prosecute the men who attacked about GO Chinese at Baker City, August 8. The complaint having come from the "Washington representative or the Chinese Government makes It a state affair, entitled to every consideration. GAMBLERS FINED HEAVILY Judge Also Tnlces Occasion to Score Officials of Ironj? Branch. FREEHOLD. N. J.. Sept. 8. The men arrested In connection with the raid on alleged gambling establishments at Long Branch, some weeks ago, were arraigned foefore Supreme Court Justice J. Franklin Fort today for sentence. Ernest Wltte, of the Casino, and Graham Woodward, of the Hollywood Hotel, will stand trial and their cases went over. The other men who were Indicted by the grand jury pleaded nonsuit to the charge of keeping disorderly houses. Justice Fort Imposed a fine on each. In each case the court announced that if the accused were again found guilty of similar practices a. sentence of Imprisonment would be Im posed. The fines were as follows: William P. Janes, David Johnson and Sam Emery, of the New York Club, J2000 each; Phil Daly, Jr.. of the Pennsylvania Club, $1000, and "William H. Hallowell, keeper of the restaurant at the Pennsylvania Club. $5000. Justice Fort was very severe upon the local authorities of Long Branch. He said it would be a much more pleasant duty If the court were able to pronounce sentence upon those who had been guilty of misconduct In office. He said that gambling had been carried on at Long Branch with the acquiescence, if not with the approval, of those who were sworn to uphold the law. EMULATING HARRY TRACY.

New York Journal of Commerce. Something over a year ago Mr. Charles M. Schwab, the president of the United States Steel Corporation, gave the public the benefit of what he believed might be expected from combination in the Iron and steel Industry. In the course of this statement Mr. Schwab enumerated cer tain principles, affecting the future of industrial combination, which he re garded as fundamental. Among these were the following: The larger the out put the smaller, relatively. Is the cost of production. This axiom holds good whether the output consists of pins or of locomotives. Where the output Is pro duced by fixed processes the rule ap plies with especial force. It is much more economical, proportionately, to run three machinps under one roof than to run one. It is cheaper to run a dozen than it is to run three, and cheaper still tn mn 1V1 TVi nr nf rrv Vif rnnrltirlprl thnt the larger' plant has an undoubted ad- J vantage over uir sjjiiin jiitiui, ,mu mui this advantage increases almost indefi nitely as the process of enlargement con tinues. In practice he declared that the effect of combination had been found to be that it cut down the cost of super vision, the nonproductive element of la bor; that It made possible the highest development of mechanical appliances, that it displaced the middleman who, at every step between production and con sumption, was wont to take a big slice of profit, adding so much to the ultimate cost without adding anything to tho value. Moreover, In his Judgment, the combination proved that the principle of economy which was found effective where 100 machines were worked under one roof Instead of 10, applied where 100 plants were conducted under one - consolidated management, instead of under 100 sepa rate managements. According to Mr. Schwab, it is the recognition of this prin ciple that has brought about the era of business consolidation, now in full swing In the United States. He admitted .that there were limits beyond which this could not be carried; that It was possible to conceive of an enterprise so huge that It would be unwieldy, but, thus far, he thought that tho danger point In this direction was not In sight. There is apparently a danger point which Mr. Schwab overlooked. Since writing the article for the orth Ameri can Review, from which we have quoted, Mr. Schwab has had one extended holiday and Is about to sTart on another. If the first was purely for pleasure, with an incidental design to show the potentates of the Old "World w.hat the president of the billion-dollar trust is like, the sec ond Is avqwedly required for the repair of a system whose vigor has been some what Impaired by overwork. There would thus appear to be a point at which na ture Interposes her veto on consolidated management; where the one director of 100 plants may be compelled to admit that he has undertaken, a task beyond his powers. But as the successful working of a huge industrial combination must depend very largely on the sustained en ergy and highly specialized ability of Its executive head, there must be a cor responding loss in the efficiency of the whole vast mechanism when that head Is disabled. It 1b not possible to assume that there are subordinates of Mr. Schwab quite capable of filling his place at a day's notice, because If there be any force In the argument in favor of single-headed management of vast enter prises, the special fitness possessed by Mr. Schwab for the place he occupies is the result of a kind of experience which nobody but himself has had the chance to acquire. There would be no such con cern manifested about the condition of Mr. Schwab's health and his continued tenure of the office he holds, nor would he, probably, be the recipient of so prince ly a salary, were the ability which he possesses supposed to be of a common, every-day order. But the more uncom-, mon It is the harder It must be to re place, and the more desirable It Is that it should have a staying power war ranted to Insure a fairly continuous and protracted term of service. This is clear ly Incompatible with a vacation in Europe every six months, with whatever lesser Interruptions iUmay be held to , be com patible. As It is part of the trust theory that the man who has under his single control the multitudinous detail of Its vast busi ness is a vitally essential clement of the combination, the power of the human mind and body to stand the strain of Its administration must be held to interpose a limit to the growth of the system. Mr. Havemeyer has testified to the burden, almost too heavy to be borne, of the com paratively simple management of the sugar trust; Mr. Schwab must apparently be accepted as a demonstration that the much more complicated business of the United States Steel Corporation may get on tho nerves of its representative head in a very short space of time. What avails it, then, to have 100 plants con ducted under one consolidated manage ment if one head cannot contain all the problems which their supervision in volves? Not the least of these problems must always pertaln-'to the coming of out side plants Into the fleld which the com bination has marked as its own, and to the devising of means to lay the specter of competition. If the brute strength of capital finds its crowning triumph in the colossal trust, It also challenges the un relenting opposition of every interest whose sphere of action it has thus cir cumscribed. Hence it may happen that the head of such a combination may be more acutely impressed with the Idea that every man's hand is against h'im than he is with the plentltude of his own power. A year ago Mr. Schwab thought It marvelous that the wisdom of huge In dustrial combinations should still be chal lenged in the most Intelligent quarters. He may think so still, but it is probably dawning on him that it was the operation of the law of competition which placed him where he is, and that the attempt to defy that law may easily prove too much for his strength and capacity. It was the law of competition which made the Carnegie plants indispensable to the United States Steel Corporation. As the Iron Age truthfully said of Mr. Andrew Carnegie In 1S99: "He has set a pace on the Iron trade of the country which all have been forced to follow. He has been, more than any other man, the type of the untiring; Incalculable exponent of unre strained competition, which the younger generation of manufacturers and busi ness men may admire, but do not care to Imitate." Yet Mr. Carnegie could take a holiday when the desire came to him, without raising doubts as to the con tinued value of the property of which he was the head,' and could go on for years developing that property, after a highly aggressive fashion, without anS' signs of nervous prostration.

The Brotherhood has de veloped to this enormous extent since the days, now many years ago, when the first little band came together; and It has de veloped not by crushing out Individual In itiative. The Man "Who Connts. "The Brotherhood of Firemen does much for all firemen, but I firmly believe that the individual fireman, since the growth of the Brotherhood, haB been more, not less, efficient than he was 20 vears aero. Membership in the Brother hood comes, as I understand it, after a nine months' probationary period; after a man has shown his worth, he Is then ad mitted and stands on his footing as a brother. Now, any man who enters with the purpose of letting the Brotherhood carry him Is not worth much. The man who counts In the Brotherhood is. the man that pulls his own weight and a little more. Muchcan be done by the Brother hood. "I have Just hinted In the general fig ures I gave you at how much has been done, but it still remains true In tho Brotherhood and everywhere else throughout American life that nothing, In the last resort, can supply the place of the man's own Individual qualities. We need those, no matter how perfect the or ganization is outside. There Is Just as much need now of nerve, hardihood, power to face risks, and accept respons ibilities In the engineer and fireman, whether on a flyer or a freight train, as there ever was. Much can be dqne by the association. A great deal can be accom plished by working each for all, and all for each, but we must not forget that the first requisite In accomplishing this is that each man should work for others by working for himself, by developing his own capacity. Isn't this common sense? I think so. The steady way In which a man can" ri3e is illustrated by a little thing that happened when I came down here over the Queen & Crescent Railroad, and the general manager who handled my train and who handled yours was Mr. Magulre. I used to know him In the old days when he was jon his way up, and he began right at the bottom. He whs a fire man at one time. He worked his way straight up, and now he is general man ager, and he put this convention here, and ho put me here. (Applause.) "I believe so emphatically In your qr ganlzatlon because while it teaches the need of working In union, of working In association, of working with deep purpose in our hearts, not merely on our Hps the sense of 'brotherhood yet of necessity it still keeps, as your organization must al ways keep, to the forefront the worth of the individual qualities of a man. (Ap plause.) An Object-Lesson In CItlxcnnlilp. "Now, I said to you that I came here in a sense not to speak to you, but to use your experience as an object-lesson for all of us an object-lesson in good American citizenship. All professions, of course, do not call for the exercise of the same degree of quality of which I have spoken. Your profession Is one of those I am in clined to believe plays in modern life a greater part, from the standpoint of char acter, than we entirely realize. There Is in modern life, with the growth of civili zation, with the growth of luxury, a cer tain tendency to softening of the National fiber.

I hope to see all of our people develop the softer, gentler vir tues to an ever-Increasing degree, but I hope never to see them lose the sterner virtues that make men. (Applause.) "I feel that the profession of railroad ing Is a fine anti-scorbutic; that it does away with the "tendency towards softness. I believe a man Is not going to be a fire man or an engineer, or serve well in the other capacity. In a long 'railroad life. To speak technically. If he has a streak" of yellow in him, you are going to find It out and he Is going to be painfully conscious of It very soon. It Is a fine thing for our people that we should have those quali ties in evidence before us In the llfework of a big group of our citizens. In Ameri can citizens power can succeed perma nently only upon the basis of standing shoulder to shoulder, working In associa tionby organization each working for all, yet remembering that we need each to so shape things that each man can de velop to best advantage all the forces and powers at his command. In your organl zatlon you can accomplish much by means of the brotherhoods, but you accomplish, it by means of the men who go to make up that brotherhood. If you had exactly the organization, exactly the laws, exactly the system, and yet were yourselves a poor set of men, the system would not save you. I will guarantee that from tlmo to time you have men go In to try to serve for the nine months who prove that they do not have the stuff In them out of which you can .make good men. You have got to have the stuff in you, and if you have got the stuff, you can make out of It a much finer man by means of the associa tion, but you have got to have the ma terial out of which o make It. The Country's Greatest Need. "So It Is In citizenship. We need good laws, we need a good fundamental, law of the type that we call the Constitution; but back of It all lies the need for the lack of which nothing else can supply the need for a higher average of individual citi zenship. Thnt we have got to have. It in Just as it is in war. When we went Into the Spanish War a lot of our National Guards were armed with black-powder muskets a weapon which makes he cros3bow rather recent by comparison. It always Irritates me to see any of our troops armed with such a weapon. I want to see each man have the best weapon, but if the man is also a poor creature, no matter how good his weapon Is, he will be beaten by a good man with a club. I want the best" type of weapon, but I want the man behind the gun. It Is so in our civic life, In citizenship. "I want to see a good framework of labor organized. I want to see a good frame work under wise Jaws of corporate organi zation; I want to see good laws on the statute books, for all of us. I want to see our admirable Constitution, whenever the nee"d comes, rendered still more admirable, even if it Is necessary to amend It. But remembering the importance of all that, my friends, what I hope wo will never for get Is that. In the last resort, the problem of good citizenship Is the problem of pro ducing good men and women. That Is the fundamental problem. All the organiza tions in the world, the best development of brotherhood, will net make a coward or a shirk a good engineer or a good fireman, and the best law, the best constitution will work but poorly if we have not in the average citizen that which counts for more than intellect and stands far above intel lect, as intellect stands above mere brute strength character, character that is com & King Children's School Hose Excellent quality black cot ton, fine ribted, seamless hose.

The President told of his trip over the battlefield of Chlckamauga yesterday, and drew a lesson of the heroism shown by the armies of the North and South. The men who composed these armies', he said, pos sessed the reoulroment nf tvMpVi tmnA ; citizens are made. He referred to the in- " ui itiuiiuincni raiseu dj Ken tucky to the Union and Confederate sol diers from that state who fell on that bat tlefield. He read the inscription, as fol lows: At we are united in life and lie united in death, let one monument perpetuate their deeds and their people, forgetful of all asperities, forver hold In grateful remembrance nllglorlea of that terrible conflict, which made all men free and retained even star on the Nation's flag. "That is a good sentiment, that is a sen timent by which we can all stand. And It Is, my friends, a sentiment that has the underlying spirit of brotherhood. I firmly believe in my countrymen, and therefore I believe that the chief thing necessary in order that they should work together is that they- should know one another; that the men North should know the Southerners; that the men of one occupa tion should know the men of another, so we may realize that the things that di vide us are .superficial, are unimportant, and that we are and ever must be knit together In one Indissoluble mass by com mon American manhood." "For 16 years the Presidency cf the United States has been filled by Tennesee ans. Tennessee has always borne its part in the leadership of the Nation In peace and In war. The State of 'Old Hickory Is a state of the entire American Republic, because everywhere throughout the Union we claim the greatest of Tennesseeans, Andrew Jackson, as one of the greatest of Americans, and an American whom all Americans delight to honor. (Cheers and applause.) "There were differences as to Andrew Jackson's policies, but the character of ihe man, his honesty, absolute fearless ness, his devotion to the right as he saw the right, are qualities which we never can afford to lose sight of In this Re public." As the President concluded he was roundly cheered. BRAVES STORM TO GREET PEOPLE. Rooncvelt Renchen Knoxvllle Jn.it ns Heavy Rnln Sent' In. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 8. President Roosevelt braved the elemtns late this afternoon, and In defiance of a hard rain storm was driven through streets lined with people to a stand on Main street, nearly a mile from the depot, where he spoke to 12,000 people, who stood In a drenching rain. The Presidential party arrived at 3 o'clock, and was met by a large reception committee, the Sixth Regiment Band and a battalion of militia. After the Presi dent had stated that he could 3tand the storm to see the people, if the people could stand It to see him, carriages were taken and, preceded by the troops, the proces sion moved up the main business street to the speaker's stand erected In front of ihe women's building. All along the line of march the President stood with baretf Lead, bowing to the cheering throng. Introduced by Representative Gibson, of this district, as a man who combined all the sterling traits of character of Andrew Johnson. Andrew Jackson and James Knox Polk. President Roosevelt- thanked the people for coming-out In such weather. "I want to say how much I appreciate your having come out to see me. and I take it that your National Guardsmen are not fair-weather soldiers.

The entire party took carriages and were driven to the residence of Mrs. William G. Brownlow, wife of Tennessee's famous ed itor, ex-Governor, and United States Sen ator. The President spent several min utes In conversation with the ladles. Then the University of lennessee was visited, after which the party returned to the de pot.
