TUB MORNING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY. OCTOBER 22. 1906. 3 ROOSEVELT MHY BE FORCED TO RUN Nomination of Bryan or Hearst Would Stampede Republican Convention to President. SINCERITY IS NOT DOUBTED Principles Advocated by the Demo crats Now in the Limelight Do ot Appeal to the Majority of American Voters. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Oct. 21. While President Roose velt was perfectly sincere in his repeated declarations that he Rill not seek and will not accept another nomination for the Presidency, the-fact remains that a great many influential Republicans believe that he will be compelled to bow to the will of his party in 190$ and make the sacrifice. The third-term bugaboo does not seem to bother politicians in the slightest, and the only person of prominence who has so far obected to another term for Roosevelt is the President himself. Representative Grosvenor. of Ohio, one of the best-known Republicans in the country, has written an article in which be points out that circumstances might easily arise when a popular President might be compelled to accept a third nomination against his will. While the article in question mentions no names, it vry clearly indicates that to Grosvenor's mind President Roosevelt will be forced to accept another term in spite of his re peated declarations to the contrary. Eikins Adds His Opinion. On top of Grosvenor's article. Senator Eikins. who has been none too friendly with President. Roosevelt in the past, comes out with this declaration: "Mr. Roosevelt has made a great Presi dent. He is stronger than hfs party , throughout the country, and there can be j no doubt of the demand that he continue ! as Chief Magistrate of the Nation four j years more. If Mr. Hearst should win in ! New York." he, added. "Mr. Roosevelt will be forced to run. But Mr. Hearst will not j win." I Eikins went on- to declare that the people or his state are in favor of the j nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for a third term, and he gave it as his opinion that 1 the President should bow to the popular will if it is found ihat the demand . is general throughout the country. ' The sentiments expressed by Eikins are mbstantially the sentiments of Grosvenor, and similar sentiments have time and i again been voiced of late by men from all parts of the country as they come to Washington. The people seem to have put aside the old-time aversion to a third j term, at least so far as Roosevelt is con cerned, and the demand for his renomina tlon is growing stronger every day "Would Cause Roosevelt Stampede. The nomination of Bryan or Hearst by the next Democratic National Convention would go a long way toward stampeding the Republican convention for Roosevelt in case the Democrats make their nomi nation first. Roosevelt stands for sound government and honest reform: he has inspired the confidence of the business world, and in every way has made good. Bryan, on the other hand, proposes to offer Government ownership to the coun try, if he is nominated, whereas the very mention of Hearst sends a shiver down the spine of every intelligent voter. If Bryan should run on a Government ownership platform in 100S a Republican ticket headed by Roosevelt would surely bury htm deper than he was buried in and in 1AH and would put an end to talk of Go eminent ownership for long years to come. In the same way, Roose velt, running against Hearst, would com pletely smother the yellow editor in a manner that would remove him from the field of National politics for all time. Great changes may occur in the next two years, but at. the present time the struggle for control of the Democratic party seems to lie between Hearst and Bryan. Each has, his decided weakness, and neither will ever reunite the party, though both are advocating ideas that will draw to some extent from the out side. But with all their strength, no one questions that either Bryan or Hearst would fall easy prey to Roosevelt In a National election. I'nless the Situation Is Changed. If the trend of events does not materially change In the next two years, and Hearst or Bryan Is then nominated by the Dem ocrat, there will be good Republicans plenty clamoring for the renominatlon of Roosevelt, and a stampede in the con vention would not be unlikely. It is such a contingency as this that Is referred to by Eikins and Grosvenor. and it is the frm conviction of old-line Republicans that siuh a situation will develop In the Democratic column as will literally force the nomination on President Roosevelt" against his will. The nomination heing tendered, these men believe he would have to accept it out of loyalty to the party. WHY SEEKS STATEHOOD tc-ontlnue.l from Par 1.) Is making a great mistake In not Join ing us." Admits Politics Are Rotten. "They say your politics here la rotten." Governor Hagerman winced a. little. "I can't deny that,' he said, finally. "I guess everybody who is decent will agree that politics here is rotten." "They object, also, to the great dis tance they would have to travel to reach the state capital." "Oh. that is not so bad. The distance from Tuma to Panta Fe Is not as great as from El Paso to Austin, yet the people pf Texas tJo not grumble about the size of their state." Governor Hagerman then entered into a discussion of the wealth of New Mexico, developed and potential He said he pre ferred to make no Invidious comparisons with Arizona, but that he did not shrink from comparisons. New Mexico's Great Wealth. "Arizona le remarkable chiefly for min eral wealth. " ha said, "yet the coal de posits alone of New Mexico are as val uable as all the mineral wealth of Ari zona. There are S2S miles of railroail in operation and under construction in New Mexico, while Arizona has 1911 miles ope rating and building. The population of New Mexico Is Increasing much more rapidly than the population of Arizona. Thre is more Irrigated land now under cultivation in New Mexico than In Ari zona, and the possibilities of Irrigation are much greater here. Ultimately this territory will have 1.000.00) acres under Irrigation This means a large perma nent population, not dependent upon the productiveness of mice. 60 you see New Mexico Is not proposing to go bare-handed into the proposed union with Ari zona." It is true that New Mexico is wonder fully prosperous. Railroads and irriga tion enterprises are developing the coun try. Mining operations are conducted on a large scale. The lumber industry la rapidly expanding. In spite of political corruption, the tone of the territory is Improving. At Roswell. for Illustration, gambling has been stopped and an an nual license tax of $2000 each imposed upon saloons. Other parts of the terri tory are manifesting similar evidences of improvement. Developing Coal Fields. The great coal fields of Colorado, which are workea by the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company and the Santa Fe Railroad, ex tend into New Mexico, and are being de veloped on a big scale. Perhaps the largest deposit of coal in the United Ptates is in Colfax County. New Mexico. The Phelps-Dodge syndicate paid J1.000. 000 for 30.000 acres of coal lands in Colfax County, and is now running railroads into the fields. The El Paso & Northern, run ning from El Paso to Dawson, Colfax County, the entire length of New Mexico, is owned by this company Another cor poration has acquired a large body of coal land and purchased the St. Louis, Rocky Mountain & Pacific Railroad, run ning from Des Moines. Union County, to Ellzabethtown. 150 miles. Over 450 coke ovens have been put in by the Dawson Company, and plants are being Installed by other companies. The coal produc tion of New Mexico last year was 1.TM.OO0 tons. Next year It will be three times as much. The Southern Pacific company, which owns coal fields at Durango, is survey ing a railroad southward through West ern New Mexico via Gallup to Globe and Morencl. and will connect with the new Yaqui River Railroad near Douglas. This will give the Southern Pacific a line from Colorado to Guaelilajara. Mexico, opening enormous reaches of mining and timber lands. Another Important piece of railroad ing in New Mexico is nearlng comple tion, whereby the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe will avoid the costly haul over Raton Pass. The new line runs from Mexico, on the Texas-New Mexico bor der, to Belen. where It Joins the main line of the Santa Fe. Ultimately the Belen cut-off will form part of the main line of the Santa Fe. Large Areas Being Irrigated. Those who think that New Mexico is nothing- but a vast sheep range should visit such counties as Eddy and Chaves, where irrigation projects un der Governmeht and private auspices are transforming the country. The Reclamation Service has approved three big- projects in T.'ew Mexico and is working out two others. The Ele phant Butte system, on the Rio Grande, between Las Cruces and El Paso, will include 180.000 acres. The Government lias allotted S250.000 for a diversion dam on this system, and in due time water will be ready for the settlers who are waiting. In New Mexico, as elsewhere throughout the West, home steaders are camping on desert and semi-arid lands, waiting for the com pletion of Government Irrigation works. The Hondo project, near Roswell. is nearly completed, and 13.000 acres will soon be turned over to settlers by the Government. The Carlsbad system, In Eddy County, also a Government en terprise. will include 50.000 acres, of which 20.000 acres will be under water next year. Surveys are now being made by the Reclamation Service of the Urton'Lake project, in northwest ern Chaves County, covering 50,000 acres, and the Las Vegas project, in San Miguel County, covering 10,000 acres. Several private corporations have put In irrigation systems on the Max well grant. One of the projects under construction near Cimarron will irri gate 15.000 acres. Near Bluewater, Valencia County. 12.000 acres are being developed by another company. An other strong company, headed by A. G. Spalding, of Chicago, is diverting the Rio Mlmbres. in Sierra County, having expended $250,000 already. " This sys tem will provide for 50,000 acres of land. La Cueva Ranch Company is covering 10.000 acres in Mora County with water. At Tularosa, Otero Coun ty, there is a large body of irrigated land. All along the Rio Grande, from Albuquerque to the Texas border, are irrigated farms and gardens. Another Important Irrigation work is that of the Government at the Zunl Indian Reservation, where 10.000 acres are to be served from a large masonry dam. Forests and 'Mines. There are 5,2oAooo acres in forest reserves in New Mexico, and it Is esti mated that there are 20,ooo.000.000 feet board measure, of timber, of which more than half Is marketable. The lumber output of the territory last year was 100.000.000 feet, and the mill ing facilities are being enlarged. Pri vate companies own about 1,000.000 acres of timber lands. One company at Albuquerque, employing 1250 men, is turning out 325,000 feet a day. New Mexico will not compare with Arizona In the production of the pre cious metals and copper, but its out put is not to be sneered at. The cop per and gold country in Grant County is being developed on a large scale. The Magdalena district, in Socorro County, which yields zino and other minerals, is prosperous and growing. In the production of coal, however, rather than in precious metals, New Mexico will lead her neighbor. The territory boasts of coal fielfls of much greater extent than those of Pennsyl vania. The sheep of New Mexico are valued at $14,000,000. and the income from wool and lambs this year will reach 15.400,000. The territory is also a big cattle country, growers from the Da kotas. Montana and Kansas having large holdings. At the principal Santa Fe hotel the bill of fare boasts of Kansas City beef." and the question promptly arises. "Why go to Kansas City if the territory is such a big cat tle country?" This Is answered by the statement that New Mexico cattle are shipped to Kansas as 2-year-olds, to be fattened on the corn that made Kansas famous. In Texas, the great est cattle-growing section of the coun try, the same conditions obtain. Tex ans raise beef, send it to Kansas, and buy it back for their own tables with the Kansas City label. W hy Statehood Is Wanted. After Governor Hagerman had talked of all these things, and more, he re turned to the subject of statehood. "We want a state." he said, "because of the Impetus that will be given to all this development. We want it be cause the citizenship of both New Mex ico and Arizona is equal to that of any other part of the United States. We do not want to remain in the category of Porto Rico any longer. We believe that a big vote for joint statehood will convince Congress that the best thing to do is to admit us as one or two states. We prefer to be alone, but we do not object to jointure with Arizona. Congress, we think, will soon reach the conclusion that the non-contlgious territories of the United States are bothersome enough, -without trying to keep up another system of territorial government within our own borders." SUICIDE OF MILLIONAIRE Worth B. Jennings Shoots Himself, Despondent Over Ill-Health. PARSONS. W. Va.. Oct. 21 Worth B.

LOPING MANIA RUNS IN FAMILY Fairbanks' Children Have Not Made Success in Matrimony. , ONE HAS TWO HUSBANDS She Eloped Twice, Present 3Iate Be ing Xary Lieutenant Xiece Weds Obscure Boy Fred's Mar riage Disapproved. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 21. Cupid la no respecter of the Vice-Prestdentml office. Five times has the little fellow entered the Fairbanks family, and as many times arranged matches that did not meet with the ap proval of paterfamilias. The latest in stance was the elopement of Fred C. Fair banks with Miss Nellie Scott, of Pitts burg. The series of elopements began some years ago, however, when Miss Ade laide Fairbanks startled Indianapolis so I ciety by her marriage with Dr. Allen of that place. This happened In the days when Charles Warren Fairbanks was Senator from In diana. His family was prominent socially in Indianapolis and in Washington, and Miss Adelaide, a charming girl, a perfect beauty, in fact, was looked upon as a "great catch" for some lucky fellow. She was conceded to be one of the most popu lar belles on the Wabash, and in Wash ington she held her own in a field that is noted for its winning women. But Miss Fairbanks did not care for the formalities of society: she had no desire for a big church wedding; and she took no fancy to any of the young men who "stood in" with her parents. Rather, she formed an attachment for Dr. Allen, who was not welcome st the Fairbanks home, and eloped with the man of her choice. Gets Divorce and Tries Again. This marriage did not turn out happily and after a short time a divorce was ob tained by the bride, and she returned to the parental roof. ' She was much de pressed by the failure of her venture and sought seclusion, but only for a brief period. Soon she was iplngling again with the friends of her girlhood days, and soon she was surrounded for a second time by a host of young men of good family who one and all had hopes of stepping into the shoes of the unfortunate Dr. Allen. But once more the spirit of restlessness overcame the girl; she chanced to meet an old schoolmate whom she had not seen In years. She concluded that he was Just the man she needed to make her happy, and, quick as a flash. Mrs. Allen became Mrs. Timmons. wife of an en sign in the Navy. Timmons has since been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. This match was frowned upon by Mr. Fairbanks, as he had disapproved the first marriage with Dr. Allen. Timmons was only a petty officer in the Navy at the time; he had no particular standing socially and was unknown. He did not compare with numerous other young fel lows who sought the hand of the Vice President's daughter; wherefore the dis appointment. But Mr. Fairbanks said nothing. Rumor now has it that the fate of Dr. Allen is In store for Lieutenant Timmons. ' Niece Marries Into Obscurity. On top of his troubles with his daugh ter, Mr. Fairbanks was once more thwart ed last Winter by his niece. Miss Lillian Fairbanks, who was living at the Vice President's fome here and in Indianapo lis. It was the hope of the Vice-President and Mrs. Fairbanks that Miss Lillian would marry well, for she had ample op portunities, as had their daughter. But the elopement craze got into her head, and one fine morning a note came to the Fairbanks home conveying the informa tion that their niece had married Willie Bride. Mr. Bride, like Allen and Tim mons. had no social standing: he had no money to speak of. He was just an ordi nary Washington boy, scarcely out of school, and his chief claim to fame arose from the fact that William J. Bryan, when a member of Congress, slept at his father's house. At last accounts Willie and Lillian were living happily together. But the Vice-President was never recon ciled, any more than he became reconciled to the two men his daughter married. Warren Fairbanks Weds Well. Warren Fairbanks, the oldest boy, mar ried a Miss Cassidy of Pittsburg. While he did not marry a girl of his father's choice, he got a magnificent wife and this match is looked upon as successful in every way. It Is understood the Vice President is now thoroughly reconciled in this instance and is a frequent caller at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Fair banks. The latest affair, however, met with the distinct disapproval of Mr. Fair banks. Sr. Miss Scott has social position that is the best: her father has wealth galore, but the girl is young and the boy has not been long enough out of school to settle down to any business or profession, and his father deemed the match unwise: at least he thought the marriage should be postponed until the son could establish himself and until the girl was at least of age. However, Fred Fairbanks had no more regard for his father's wishes than any of the other members of the family, and this run away match was the result. Got Father Into Trouble. Fred Fairbanks Is the boy who was appointed private secretary to the Vice President when Mr. Fairbanks took the oath of office. The boy had no previous training for' this sort of work and his appointment savored of nepotism, and the papers took hold of the story and! heralded the fact from one end of the country to the other. So general was the criticism of the Vice-President that the appointment was revoked. Young Fair, banks then drifted to Mexico. Is under stood to have dabbled In mining prop erty and then returned to the States, looking for something else to do. He was still on the hunt when he ran away with Miss Scott. The girl being wealthy, he will probably not need to settle down to work for the time being. This Is expected to be the end "of run-away matches- In the Fairbanks family, at least for the time being. The elopement fever, however, seems to be general, and it is difficult to tell when or where it will break out again. Mean while the Vice-President has about con cluded that he Is not much of a. match maker. SELLS HIS OREGON TIMBER La Crosse Man Gets $300,000 for 15,000 Acres From Weyerhaeuser. LA CHOSSE. Wis..

Staub, pastor of the Sunny, side Congregational Church, spoke last night on the topic, "Reno Hutchinson, or the Type of Life That Pays." His text was from Second Timothy, iv:7, "I have fought a good fight of faith." After com menting on the text and on the terrible tragedy of the murder of Reno Hutchin son, and its far-reaching effects. Dr. Staub said: The keen and universal sorrow evidenced during the past -week in our city over the untimely death of Reno Hutchinson Is in Itself a lesson which Is quite worth our while to ponder. Aside from the fact that the grief wu a.oceutuated by the manner in Good Merchandise Only Quality Considered Our Prices Are Always the Lowest which his life was sacrificed, the sense nf loss of a grandly noble character, an ex ceptionally strong and thoroughly consecrat ed Christian influence has bowed low thou sands of appreciative hearts. For all his kindred, especially his young wife, we pray God's richest comfort and grace, yet far above the sense of lo?s tnere asserts Itself a joy born of the inspiration of a rarely beautiful Christian life. The City of Portland will not soon forget the tireless efforts of this devoted worker; men by the hundreds will go forth to call his name blessed. It were to pass by unheeded a lesson of great power to permit his death to go into history without holding up his noble character for the inspiration of men and women but especially the young peo ple of our city. There are some very help ful lessons his life taught even on shortest acquaintance. Mr. Hutchinson was conscious of a mission In life. AU his speech and behavior was in dicative of that fact. The thing which lifted his life so far above the common miserable existence which resolves itself into merely earning enough money to buy food and clothing ts the ail-controlling influence of life's highest aims. Nothing steadies a life so well as a defi nite purpose. The ship that Is allowed to drift nevfr gets into a harbor. It is from an all-absorbing purpose that the Christian draws his strength and inspiration day by day. Many things In life may be conducive to success, but few compare with earnestness. Even learning Is heavily discounted when not supported by earnestness. His earnest ness o purpose was well known . to the friends of Reno Hutchinson. Eulogies of -Reno Hutchinson.

NEW FLYGASTING RECORD IRISH CHAMPIOX BEATS COM PETITORS AT TfEW YORK. John Enright Threw 152 Feet With 20-Foot Pole Surpassing His Own AVorld's Record. A new world's record in fly-casting has been established by John Enright, the celebrated Irish fly-caster, who threw his line, baited with a salmon fly, a distance of 152 feet, beating his own previous rec ord of 147 feet. The cast was made on the upper end of the Harlem Mere, in the northeastern corner of Central Park. Fifth aTenue and One Hundred and Tenth street, New York. The record was made In an exhibition trial during the open tour nament held by the Anglers' Club, of New York. The tournament was the first of its kind that has been seen in New York waters since 1889, when the old National Rod and Reel Club conducted its final event on the Harlem Mere. There was no lack of Interest in the contests, and although the competitors were not numerous, they all stood close to the top In their respective classes, and the skillful manner with which they whipped the water with their long lines fascinated and interested several hundred spectators, who lined the bank of the northern edge of the lake. The presence of John Enright added a scientific Interest to the contest that has seldom been equaled in any similar event in America. Mr. Enright was invited by the members of the club to visit this country and give a series of exhibitions with a view to stimulating interest in the art of fly-casting. John Enright, of Cas tle Connell, Ireland, the famous wielder of the fishing rod, is known all over the United Kingdom. Three years ago Mr. Enright established his old record of 1-47 feet for distance in a salmon-casting contest at the Crystal Palace tournament, London. Until yes terday it has been unbeaten. The new record was made with a 20-foot green heart Irish rod. spliced and bound to gether, not joined In the American style, and weighing four pounds. He used both hands, and in the 10 minutes that he oc cupied the temporary stand projecting into the lake from the shore he made a number of casts over 140 feet. The bait casting record, also held by Enright, Is 198 feet. Just to show how handy he is with rods of other dimensions, the Irish man made a new record with a 14-foot rod, casting 127 feet. The regular contests brought out some of the best fanciers of the rod In the met ropolitan district, including Reuben C. Leonard," who is acknowledged to be the best fly-caster In America. Mr. Leonard was in good form and won two difficult events, getting first in the trout fly-casting contest for distance with 105 feet, and in the single-handed bait-casting contest for accuracy, averaging 97 10-15 per cent for 16 trials, five each at 60, 80 and 100 feet, respectively. He also won the spe cial cup for the most perfect score. G. M. L. La Branche got second In the latter event with 96 9-15 per cent. R. B. Lawrence made a splendid record in the slngle-handea bait-casting for distance, hurling his line 173 feet. A half-ounce weight was used, differing from the old method when frogs were attached to the line. Mr. Lawrence's distance will stand as a record, as it was the first official contest under the new conditions. Charles Stepath won the trout fly-casting event, open to those who had not ex ceeded 75 feet In previous meets. His best distance was 82 feet. Mr. La Branche was second with 81 feet 6 inches.
