SENATE BLOCKS REFORMS Radical Legislation Keqalres Time for Consideration President' Commission' Starts Work December 1. ' OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aug. 25 The National Conser vation Commission, appointed by the president to study all manner of prob ; leme rearing on the preservation and utilization of the natural resources of the United States, is to make a report !on January 1, 1909. It is extremely doubtful if any important legislation, .based on the findings of the commis sion, will be enacted at the coming session of Congress. This is particu larly true in the matter of public land, but also true with regard to forest and mineral resources. A short session is a very bad time to force through lm . portant legislation, particularly if It . be of a radical character, for the 11m ! lted time available for consideration ; enables a determined opposition to j prevent action. Many of the retom imendatlons of the commission will on Idoubtedly call for radical legislation. ! Hence the Improbability that anything of great consequence will be accom jpllshed In Congress. Data From Many Sources. The commission, as a body, will not (assemble until Tuesday. December 1. j but In the Interim all manner of data ! Is being collected by individual mem j bers of the commission and by Gov ernment officials detailed to the work. I The General Land Office and Geologl Ical Survey are preparing data on the I land question; the Forest Service, in i co-operation with other bureaus. Is . formulating data on the forest re ' sources, and the Geological Survey and ' Land Office are assembling facts Bear ing on minerals. In addition to In formation gleaned from official sources, data are being prepared by state commissions appointed by Gov ernors who attended the White House conference last May, and by state geologists, etc., familiar with the topics assigned to the commission for investigation. When the commission -meets In Wash ington on December 1. all data that have been gathered on the various subjects will be presented, together with a synop sis, and it is the Intention to have sev eral days of general discussion as to pub lic land, forests, minerals, water-power, farm development, etc As the members of the commission are, for the most part, unable to devote an entire month to this work. It Is the understanding that sub committees will be appotnted to consider the various topics, and each subcommittee will go over and analyze the data as signed to It, drawing its own conclusions and framing such recommendations as It deems proper. The reports of the sub committees will then be brought before the full commission late In December, when the reports will be considered and approved, or modified, so as to make one composite report to the President. Whether the commission wtll merely an alyze the situation, point out opportuni ties for improvement and approve such policies as are found wise, or whether It will go further and make specific recom mendations In the way of needed legis lation will be determined by the commis sion Itself when It meets. A report com bining findings and recommendations would be much more Influential than on containing merely finding, but circum stances may be such that the commission win not feel Justified In going beyond a report on Its observations. Admittedly the most Important subject to be dealt with by .the commission Is that of public land. That many of the land laws are obsolete that others are vicious, and still others Impractical, Is generally admitted. But all this was brought out by a previous commission appointed by the President the Public Lands Commission, now oeruncu imi commission devoted two years to a study of the public land system, and made a most exhaustive report. In which it rec ommended radical changes in the public land laws. That report was sent to Con gress, strongly Indorsed by the President. But It failed to Influence legislation. None of the Important recommendations of the commission were carried out. The ques tion naturally arises. Will the recom mendations of the National Conservation Commission have greater weight with Congress? So far as the public land question is concerned the situation is just this: The Senate committee on public lands Is about evenly divided on questions of reform, but since Senator Hans brough was relieved of the chairman ship, of this committee the chances for favorable reports have Improved, for he has been succeeded by Senator Nel son, of Minnesota, a believer in cer tain land law reform and a man who lights for what he wants. The danger lies in the open Senate, where there are a number of Senators determined to prevent any material modification of the land laws. Half a dozen such Senators could defeat legislation in the short session. Way Blocked In House. In the House land law- reform could be passed If it could get through the public lands committee. But that com mittee, particularly Its chairman, Mr. Mondell, of Wyoming, Is dead set against the more Important changes urged by the President and likely to be recommended by the Commission, and unleses White House pressure Is brought to bear that committee could and would probably prevent reform land legislation going before the House next Winter. For several years the President has urgently recom mended modification of the land laws, and the House committee on public lands has been the chief obstacle In his path. Up to the present time the President's recommendations have been 'Ignored. As Mr. Roosevelt is about to. retire from office, he will have Jess Influence with Congress next session than he has had in the past. Unless the President should go to the extent of summoning obstructing Sen ators and Representatives to the White House, showing them the "big stick" and talking to them "like a Dutch uncle." It is extremely doubtful if there will be any action on the report of .the commission next session the public lands feature at least. The probabilities are that the findings of this commission will be very similar to the findings of the old Public Lands Commission, for the same ground is being covered, and much the same data being used. Forests and Minerals. As far as the forestry question Is concerned, radical changes In policy are not likely to be recommended. In the main the policy as now In force meets the approval of those designated to pass upon this subject, and any for estry legislation that may be recom mended will probably be of unimpor tant character. On the other hand the question of control and disposal of trtlneral lands will be Important, and what has been said of the land question generally will apply to mineral lands as well. If any Important mineral legislation Is enact ed next session as a result of the com mission's report, it will probably be the final passage of the bill passed by the House last session, creating a Bu reau of Mines. The question of control and use of the public range comes under the general head of land, and there Is no likelihood of the enactment of a National leasing law or the revival of the 640-acre dry homestead proposition. The time will come when Congress will pass a National drainage act. which will enable the General Government to reclaim swamp land on the same basis as it Is now reclaiming arid land, though by dif ferent methods. A National drainage law will probably be recommended, but It can not be passed next session, even though the Commission favors it. Water Power Monopoly. It is the belief of the administration that something should be done by the National Government to prevent a monop oly of water powers throughout the coun try. Corporations have already . gained control of many of these valuable con cessions, but such as remain on the pub lic domain have been held back through the application of the forest reservation law. Just how to control these water powers In the Interest of the general public Is one of the vital problems put up to the Commission. But whatever rec ommendation is made will be opposed in Congress, and the subject will probably have to go over for the next Congress to consider. And so it goes through the whole list of subjects being studied. All are impor tant, all call for legislative action, and It Is conceded that the subjects are of too great Importance to be acted upon by Congress without careful consideration. In a short session little time Is available, except for the consideration of appropria tion bills, which must be passed. To give proper attention to the subjects covered by the report of the National Conserva tion Commission, Congress would have to remain in session at least until July 1, but the law decrees that the next session shall adjourn on March 4. Therefore the enactment of comprehensive laws for the conservation of all natural resources will have to be postponed until the 61st Congress.

Within a week 300 Sioux braves will inarch on St. Paul. For 50 years the Indians in Minnesota have beeen quiet; now they site preparing for an Invasion. Fifty years ago there was no announce ment that an invasion would occur. The Indians stole upon the villages in the night, and left murder and violence be hind them.

JOKISS HAISS, Ridgeley, which is to be reproduced at the 1908 Minnesota State Fair, in ceieora tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the state. The coming of the Sioux will be fraught with deep historic significance from the fact that the last Invasion of the Sioux was the massacre of 1862, when 800 men, women and children of Minnesota were murdered. There" are many residents in Minnesota who remember this terrible massacre, which was caused by a discontent among the Indians by the failure of the Govern ment to meet its annual payment to the different tribes, according to the treaty of 1851, coupled with the leaving of many of the male residents of the state to fight In the Union army. IDENTIFIES STOLEN BILL Marked In Fitzgerald's Handwrit ing, Says Government Expert. CHICAGO, Aug. 25. Captain Thomas I. Porter, of the Government Secret Service, last night revealed that he had Identified as the handwriting of George W. Fitzgerald the notation "173 M." on a 110,000 bank note that wae sent to the subtreasury by the Commercial Na tional Bank. All trace of the note is lost, but the officials are certain It was the top bill of a package of $173,000, for the alleged theft of which Fitzger ald was arrested, and that it estab lishes that the stolen money is being circulated In Chicago. Fitzgerald admits he may have writ ten the notation, but says It was a com mon practice to do so on the top bills of large bundles of money, and It ex plains nothing as to who is circulating the stolen' money. CREMATED IN HIS- HOTEL Prominent Business Man Burned to Death at Tesla, Cal. TESLA. Cal., Aug. 25. A fire which broke out in the Tesla Hotel late last night caused -the loss of one life and the destruc tion of much property before it was extinguished. Ernest Cerf, of San Francisco, manager of the Tesla Coal Company's store, was asleep in the hotel at the time, and was burned to death before help reached him. The hotel and several adjoining buildings. Including the coal company's store, a saloon and a few small resi dences, were burned. The loss will not exceed 7500. Very Attractive Linen. A new and very attractive linen is used by art embroiderers. It Is in bas ket weave, which presents the effect of big squares of loose thread. This material, when made up into sofa cushions, is embroidered practically solid with French embroidery ribbon, and the result Is more beautiful than words .can express. Half the cushion, for instance, from corner to corner, is worked in solid pink, while on this daisies are arranged with artistic car nations. On the other' the background of the pillow is made in white, while pink primroses form the most attracj tive decoration. There Is no finish around the edge of these pillows save the seam, for the embroidery is so beautiful that It re quires no further decoration. Former ly, when using embroidery ribbon, it was necessary to select some , loosely woven material which was very often ugly. Crln, for Instance, was the easi est to use for the purpose, or linen canvas. Now, however,- with this new linen for sale, there is no further need to use unattractive or rough materials.
