4 6 THE MORNTXG ORKGKmAJT, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1907. WHAT ANKENY HAD TO SAY TO "JONES "My Friends Want Me Senator Again; Will You Stay in thev House?" . YAKIMA MAN THOUGHT NOT Both Men Make Trip to Seattle in frame Car Are Fast Friends, They Say Anteny Yet ' May Support Jones. SEATTLE, July It (Special.) Said Congressman W. L. Jones to Senator Levi Ankeny: "Will you support me tor Senator?" Returned the Senator trom Walla Walla: "The organization demands that I be a candidate to succeed myeelf." Then as an afterthought, added Senator Ankeny: "The state needs you in the House. You are on the rivers and harbors com mittee and should stay there until you have completed tho work of opening the upper Columbia and Snake rivers and have trained the appropriations wo need In Western Washington. Will you? Congressman Jones was' too much en grossed in thought to answer directly, but ho gave Senator Ankeny the impression that he would not. That seems to be the real substance of the Spokane conference between Sen ator Ankeny and Congressman Jones, which has been shrouded in mystery for a week. There is no question but tbat the two discussed frankly the possibility of Senator Ankeny's supporting Congress man Jones for Senator and that Ankeny declared that in present circumstances he could not do so. There is no doubt., either, but that Senator Ankeny did not say that conditions might arise whereby he would feel Justified in dropping out of the Sen atorial light. Best of Friends, They Declare. Both Senator Ankeny and Congressman Jones are in Seattle and they confirm this story of the Spokane meeting. They came across the mountains together with Sec retary of the Interior James R. Garfield and party, and whatever - need for se crecy about the Spokane meeting existed in Eastern Washington disappeared when the train rolled downhill on this side. They came together and each professed the other, was his closest political friend. In fact, Senator Ankeny gave out an ln - torvlew in which he declared Jones la an exceedingly strong man and would poll a heavy Eastern Washington vote. Still being disinclined to authorize a statement that he is a Senatorial candidate, Jones did not compare his following to An keny's, but he recalled that the two had . been close political and personal friends. Jones holds Ankeny as the strongest candidate for Senator at least when the Yakima Congressman Is not concerned. He is not alarmed over a report that other candidates may develop In Eastern Washington and thinks the Senator will be elected from that part of the State Though Jones has not said so. It is clear he believes if Ankeny .got out of his way he would have little or no trouble in be ing elected. -Promotion Due Jones in the House. Jones does not hold the place on the rivers and harbors committee as im portantly as some of the politicians who have tried to keep him in the Lower House to protect this state's interests, and, incidentally, to be of benefit to Ore , gon in the Columbia river work. He has fallen into the belief that if be retires Congressman W.- E. Humphrey will be his logical successor. There is a possibility Jones will not ask for his old place on the rivers and harbors committee ' next fall. There is no harbor bill to be drafted at that time, and Jones is in line for a better com mittee. He is apt to ask for it. There is a possibility this state might get a place on the ways and means com mittee and Jones has figured ho was in line for that place. Congressman Cush man is said to want it, and if he does Jones will defer to him. If there is to be tinkering with the tariff next winter or the following year Congressman Cush man will fall into a very prominent place if Jones' efforts can land it for him. Humphrey in Line for Promotion. The security with which the delegation from this state looks upon the rivers and harbors berth is based partially upon the fact that Oregon's Is a new delega tion. Humphrey Is well placed now and rould step over into Jones' place on the rivers and harbors committee without causing any uneasiness among other old members. The delegation from this state believes that -the transfer can be made, and it may be arranged so rs to remove any criticism on the ground that Jones lias deserted an important committee in which the Northwest, is deeply interested. Just what Jones would get during his fifth term is not determined, but he has help awaiting him from department heads that want him well placed on an Important house committee. If this move . iuent succeeds Jones would be given a promotion, the rivers and harbors com mitteeship would be held and Cushman taken care of. There could be no objec tion locally and delegation politics would be straightened out. But there remains the Johes-Aiikeny Complication still unsettled. From Sena tor Ankeny's statement it must be ac cepted that he is to be considered a sen- storlal candidate, and from all indication, Jones' official statement, to be given out In North Yakima next Tuesday, will be an announcement that he Is to go into the light.

At the conclusion of a conference held here today between a special legislative committee, Secretary of the Interior James R. Garfield, Forester Gifford Pinchot and Commissioner R. A. Bellin ger, of the General Land Office, Mr. Plnchot suggested a compromise that will probably enable this state to recover 634,183 acres of its land grant now in cluded in the forest reserve. , Pinchot suggested the state give up sections 16 and 36 in each township In the reserve granted for common schools and accept compact land areas on the edge of the reserve as lieu selections. If the state will do so, he said the government would be willing to allow a withdrawal of enough land to compensate the state for its losses. Land Commissioner E. W. Ross and the other members of the state Committee believe tonight that this plan can be adopted. The state also protested against the re fusal of the Governor to recognize the state's claims in Indian reservations, which are thrown open, and against the land office, practice of permitting settlers to locate upon unsurveyed school lands. Secretary Garfield promised to remedy these conditions. A general protest against the forest re serve policy, backed up by a series of resolutions unanimously passed by the legislature, was made on behalf of the public, but Forester Pinchot wanted ac tion delayed. Whatcom County asked for the opening of v a 16-mlle stretch four miles in width, in the Kooksack Valley, where a whole town and a mining com munity are included in the Washington reserve. Secretary Garfield, Commissioner Bal linger and Forester Plnchot will go to Tacoma tomorrow morning and will leave Friday night for Portland, reaching that city Saturday morning. A week's time will be spent in Oregon. SALUTE GUN EXPLODES OXE MAX KILLED ANT TWO SEVERELY BXJRXED. Appalling Accident at Port Town send During Reception to Governor Mead.

Others Relate Experience as Members of Craft. OREGON CITY. Or., July 11 (Special.) Dr. John Roach Straton,'. pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Chicago, made a distinct hit today In two lec tures before a good-sized audience in the auditorium at the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Assembly. His rich humor was very captivating and his flights of fancy beautiful. Dr. Straton is only 32. and is surely a coming Chautauqua lea HUMOR THE CHAUTACQCA AUDrrOKIUM AT OI.ADSTONK turer. He has Just been called to one of the largest churches of Baltimore. This afternoon he was Introduced by Rev. John M. Linden, of Oregon City, who was associated with him in confer ence at Chicago, and who referred to him as "Hoosier-born, Dixie-reared, achieved fame In Chicago, and is already In love with Oregon. He certainly has qualities to enthuse u this afternoon." Dr. Stra ton Is well known in the North, East and South, and now will be known In the West. His subject was "The Destiny of the Lost Rib," and he said: Home Is Woman's Sphere. The destiny of the women is not to bo politics, or to supplant men in the commer cial world, cr In taking men's place in any tray In the manner of dress, but she Is supreme In places whr God ordained her. She never wants the ballot or suffrage, but if she really did want It, the man would eiv it to her. 8ha knows better than to eek the ballot, because she has come into the realization of her place in the world. It la not politics, it is not commercialism; It is the tearing of men to make the Na tion. Dr. Straton lectured' tonight on "Uncle Sam, Junior." and pleased his Audience. He talks frankly and openly, never minces words, and his speeches have been some of the best things that have been heard at Gladstone Park. To night's lecture was preceded by a read ing by W. Eugene Knox, of Tacoma, and the evening ooncert by the Chemawa In dian School band. This afternoon Miss Ethel Cotter, of Salem, gave a reading and Dr. Heritage sang. fThe baseball game today was inter esting and was won by the Bralnard Cubs, with a score of 12 to 3 "from the East Side Athletic Club team, of Port land, which supplanted the St. Johns-club in the schedule.

Lectnre on Newspaper W'ork. N. J. Levlnson, Sunday editor of The Oregonlan, attracted a crowd of people this morning at the Chautauqua Forum, talking on "A Day.'s Work In a News paper Office."

She met with rebuffs, and for a time was disheartened, but Anally caught the attention of one of the biggest newspaper men In St. Louis, and bad no trouble afterward. Mrs. George is a bright woman, and her narrative was very pleasing. Mrs. Walter W.

At every service there was something of profit for all. - The personality o. President F. E.
