THE MORNING OHEGOXIAN. SATURDAY. MAY 15, 1909. 5 SIX-DAY JUNKET TO END TONIGHT Irrigated Districts Are Seen by Portland Excursionists at Kennewick and Pasco. SHOWN CHARLTON. FARM AVonders Wrought by Application of Water to Sagebrush Lands Amaze Business Men of Portland. Mabton's Reception Unique. PASCO. Wash., May 14. (Staff Corre spondence.) The Portland business men's excursion devoted the entire day to a run down the remarkable Yakima Valley from North Yakima to Pasco, a distance of 90 miles. The start was made from North Yakima at 9 A. M. The visitors, who had not seen enough of Yakima and Its surroundings on the previous day, de voted the early morning hours to further excursions through the beautiful orchards of the adjacent country. It wculd be Impossible now to attempt briefly to fur nish an adequate notion of the general Impressions of the visitors. It will be done later, when an effort will be made by me to tell the atory of the wonderful development of the Yakima country. The first stop of importance was made at Toppenlsh. once an Indian post on the Yakima Reservation, and now a thriving business community of more than 2000 people. There was an agreeable reception by the business men of Toppenlsh, headed by F. A. Wiggins, president of the local Commercial Club. Mr. Wiggins formerly was a well-known resident of Salem. Mabton's Reception Unique. At Mabton occurred the most unique reception of the whole trip. There was a very large outpouring of citizens headed by the Mayor, T. W. Howell. Pendant from the neck of every citizen was a large, placard giving his occupation and In some instances his name. There were probably 50 of these placards. The Mayor made Just about the liveliest promotion speech heard on the trip, lie was gen erally voted to be a wonder. The placard idea was his own, and It certainly made a great hit. The placards were on request cheerfully surrendered to the excursion ists, who will take them to Portland and place them on display at the Commercial Club. At Prosser there was another very -interesting reception. Many citizens came to the station with vehicles of all descrip tions and escorted their guests to the ad jacent hills, where there was a wonderful ivlew of the whole valley. Pasco Serves Strawberries. The last stop before Pasco was reached m Kennewick, a thriving town of more than ZnOO Inhabitants, built up. in a few years, In the sage-brush desert. The Kennewick band greeted the train with many citizens. The visitors were escorted around the town and some of them t were taken in wagons to the beautiful fruit ranch of A. D. Charlton, of Portland, one of the show sights of the place. The most impressive thing about Kennewick was the large number of fine homes. They are a fine illustration of what water will do in the sage-brush desert. At Pasco there had been complete preparation for a formal reception. The town was placarded with banners of wel come and the ladies of the First Congre gational Church set a fine lunch of Ice cream and Pasco strawberries in a large warehouse. The visitors were taken also to the river for a view of the landing wharf for the steamers of the Open River Transportation Company. Speakers to day were W. H. Dunckley and Tom Rich ardson. The chairman of the day was J. K. Pill. The special train left at 5 o'clock for a through run over the North Bank Rail road for L,yle, where it is announced that there will be a Joint reception by the business men of The Dalles and Lyle. Tomorrow there will be a side run over the Columbia & Northern to Goldendale. Portland will be reached and the six days' Journey completed at 7 o'clock tomorrow night. B. A.

HARBOR CLAIMS VICTIM Clarence Xeedham, (2 3 Years Old, Drowned at Hoqulam. HOQUIAM. Wash.. May 14. (Special.)

His body was recovered about 9 o'clock. Relatives in Seattle have been notified. RAPS RELIGIOUS HEALING Homeopath Says Xew Culls Are All Intellectual Poppy Dreams. CHICAGO, May 14. A freshet of de nunciations against religious tberapeu- tics and other forms -of healing formed part of an address by Dr. Alonzo C- Tenny before the Illinois Homeopathic Medical Association. Dr. Tenny declared that "lay brethren who complained of an ac cession of new-old ideas are suffering with a vestigial brain storm: that certain Ideas advanced by the psychotherapists spring from a past as dim as their logic." H who wanders in the paths of mod ern mysticism is smoking intellectual poppy, said Dr. Tenny. "Why . should we physicians permit ourselves to be utilized as diagnostic tools, why should we permit the diag nosed case to be treated by an ecclesias tic psychotherapist? By what right does he assume superior wisdom in minister ing to a mind diseased? "Is there a special skill acquired by de livering weekly sermons or by creating a woman's sewing class, or by keeping the choir from breaking up because of petty Jealousies, or by organizing a mother's club or by leading the weemy prayer meeting? "The church has for many decades per formed a most excellent duty in the in culcation of high morals. For nearly eight centuries religion and the practice of medicine have been separate. The present strenuous life detracts from the influence of the church. The catch words 'be a live wire.' 'deliver the goods,' 'get busy,' 'keep sroJllng.' and "do it now," when contrasted with the vapid vapor Ings of the average psychotherapist, is a sweetly babbling brook." BLOODED STOCK SHOWN PARADK MILE. LOXG SEEN AT ROSEBUKG. Governor Benson Arrives in Evening to Take Part in Today's Festivities. ROSE BURG, Or., May 14. (Special.) The second day. of Tloseburg's three days' strawberry festival was attended by even larger crowds than yesterday, surpassing all expectations of those in charge of the event. Today was stockmen's and breeders' day and over $100,000 worth of the best blooded stock owned in the county -was on parade. The parade was over a mile in length, and surpassed anything of its kind ever held in the city of Rose burg. Thousands of visitors lined every available point of vantage on all streets on which the parade passed, Frank E. Alley, who has on his stock farm the finest lot of thoroughbred horses In Southern Oregon, had 18 fine animals on parade. Other horsemen also bad their finest stock on display. An indication of the new and greater Roseburg was the display of the new road-making machinery of the county, the street-paving machinery and the scores of workmen who are working on Roseburg's streets with shovels on their shoulders. The last feature created great enthusiasm all along the line of march. Governor Benson and wife and Attorney-General A. M. Crawford arrived in the city this evening to take part in tomorrow's festivities. Tomorrow will be fraternal day and is expected to be the big day of the festival.

HAY IS OPPOSED TO PLAN Investigating Committee Finds For mer leputy Treasurer Drew Two Salaries Report De layed Until July. HAV AWAITS LEGISLATURE'S REPORT; WALLA WALLA. Wash., May 14. (Special.) "I shall call a special session of the Legislature only wh?n It seems actually necessary," said Governor Hay this afternoon. "Just at present I naturally do not know what my action In this regard will be. It all depends upon tha report of the legislative investigating com mittee, which will present Us re port tomorrow." The Governor left for Olympta this evening. BT J. H. BROWN. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 14. (Special.) A special legislative session seems as sured, which means more grief for the taxpayers. The most extragant Legis lature the state has ever known will probably assemble here in July, the vaca tion month, In the height ot the A-Y-P Exposition. There will be little or noth ing In a business way at" home fn mid- Summer to impel Legislators to hurry back. So lone as the session lasts here they will draw their per diem and ex penses, and may adjourn every r riday to spend the week-end at the Exposition. There is no limit in law, either, to the length of the session, nor the matters the Legislators may consider. Again, the Sound is a delightful place to spend the Summer. Remembering that the last Legislature did practically nothing the first 50 days, and penormed a.i its work the last 10 days of the session, and that it was the most irresponsible, extravagant gathering -of lawmakers ever assembled, probability of a special session of the same men, with the possibility of a long, expensive meeting, is at least enough to worry a taxpayer some. 11 Hay Fighting Scheme. Governor Hay and the investigating committee realize the situation and are playing the cards to avoid a session if possioie. Today announcement was made the committee will not report tomorrow rec ommending Impeachment of Schively. Instead, the report will be held up until July 12, the limit date for completion of the committee s work. This means that In the interim it Is hoped Schively may be induced to resign, which would prac tically remove any urgent need of a ses sion. While declaring Schively can be reached by criminal and civil process, the Attorney-General's office hands a hard jolt to the present administration of the laws by stating that appeal to tne courts in this case would do no good because Schively, by taking advantage of dilatory motions, easily can block final determination of his case in the criminal courts until his term has expired. Hence, the only way to promptly get him out is by Jm peach -ment In the Legislature. Treasurer Drew Two Salaries. In checking the Treasurer's office it developed that Jesse T. Mills, former deputy under his brother, George T. Mills, State Treasurer until January, drew two salaries last year. He drew $1800 as deputy, and also the $1000 appro priation for extra clerk hire. A telegram was received today by Chairman Allen from ex-Governor A. E. Mead, at Belllngham. stating that he was ready to appear before the committee at any time, if the committee desired his presence. Mr. Allen replied that If he was desired at all it would not be before the latter part of next week. The legislative committee which has been engaged the past two days in check ing up the office of State Treasurer Lewis, at his own request, adjourned this forenoon to meet next Wednesday, when they will likely start investigation -of Auditor Clausen's office. The committee left Senator Fishback, of Adna, and the clerk, to continue the check in the Treas urer's office, a he whole committee will also be engaged a part of next week upon it. ROAD SEEKS TERMINAL DICKERING WITH MED FORD AND CENTRAL POINT. Construction Work Expected to Be gin Soon Vast Timber and Coal Properties to Be Developed. CENTRAL POINT, Or., May 14. CSpe ciaL) It Is now assured that the Paci fic & Oregon Southern Railway will be constructed and equipped with the least poslble delay. Both this city and Med ford have made inducement to the company to secure the terminal, but which of the two cities will be favored has not been officially announced. The Central Point Commercial Club, through its representatives, has secured a 90-day option on 13 acres of the Noah Smith land. adjoining the town site on the south. If the railway com pany decides to make the terminal here the land will be furnished gratis as soon as such decision is substantial ly manifested. On the other hand, it is claimed by certain other interests outside this city that the P. & X S. Company never had any intention of making its terminal at any other place than Medford, the over tures already made to this city being for the sole purpose of securing bet ter inducements from the city of Med ford. Whether or not these claims are based on fact, it is certain that the road will primarily be built from this city to the coal fields directly east of here. Slias Ruud. chief engineer for the company, who has thus far conducted the negotiations, stated officially that bis company has already secured a 30 year contract for hauling 400.000 tons of coal per year, which tonnage is suf ficient to insure the financial success of the road from the beginning. Besides traversing the richest coal fields in the state, the road will tap the greatest sugar pine forests in the world, and it is also expected to de velop many valuable mining properties along the route. Leaving Central Point the road will run In an easterly direction, on a line We Stand Back of our shoes.

Cal. Chetco, Or., 26 miles to the north of Crescent City, will probably be on the route of the new road, and if such is the case. Gold Beach, Or., the county seat of Curry County, lying 60 miles to the south, will also be favored by the road. The road will be 101.5 miles long. passing through Jackson, Josephine and Curry Counties in Oregon, and through the extreme northwest corner of rel Norte County, Cal. Three years will be required to complete the road, notwithstanding the fact that the sur vey follows the valleys and canyons after leaving this valley. Very little tunneling will be necessary.
