4 THE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDSESDAT, JUNE 8, 1910. BOURNE NOMINEE IS RANK OUTSIDER Man Slated for Vale Land Office Is Resident of Pennsylvania. ELLIS PUTS IN PROTEST President Tart Tells Him to Place Charges In Writing and Tliey Will Be Given Further Con sideration by Him. OREGON-IAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June ; 7. Representative Kdlis today called on the President and tiled a vigorous protest against the appoint ment of men recommended by Senator Bourne for Register and Receiver of the new Vale Land Office. Last week Bourne recommended Bruce R. Kester, special agent of the Land Office, for Register, and today he recommended Henry F. Guild, edi tor of the Newport Mall, for Receiver. Kills objected to both men because neither resides in the Vale land dis trict, and he especially objected to Kester because he Is not a resident of Oregon. ' '. The President told Ellis to put his protest in writing and it would be given further consideration. Ellis is asking merely that residents of the state and, preferably, of the land dis trict, be appointed and is not seeking the right to select the new officials. Before calling on President Taft, Rep resentative Ellis went to the Land Office to get Kesters record. He found he had teeiappointed clerk in the General Land Office from the 16th Pennsylvania dis trict, that he went from that position to Senator Bourne's office at the Capitol and then was appointed special agent of the General Land Office. Kester first went to Oregon in June 29, 2909, and remained as special agent until furloughed until April 20 last. Records of the Land Office show him still a res ident of Pennsylvania. Representative Ellis laid these facts before the President and this evening filed a written protest against the ap pointment of the Pennsylvania citizen to" the Federal office in Oregon. The recommendation of Guild is not as obnoxious to Ellis as that or Kester, although Ellis told President Taft thero was plenty of good and qualified men living in the new land district to fill both offices, and he deemed it unwise to appoint a man from the extreme western part of the state to fill an office in the extreme east. His protest ia made eolely In the interest of residents of .tha Vale land district, he said. BRANDED SALMON FOUND I'ish With Peculiar Design on Head Taken in Fishwheel. Salmon apparently branded have een caught in the fishwheel of Joseph Paquet, in the Columbia River near the Warren cannery. The mark con sists of little punctures in the form of a circle, half an inch in diameter, with two dots in the center. The marks are alike on all the fish caught. Mr. Paquet, receiving word from his man in charge yesterday morning- that marked fish were being taken, went to investigate. While he was there one of the salmon, bearing the marks on the hard, smooth surface of its head, was caught. All the fish caught in the wheel are strung in a line, and the marks can be plainly seen. At another wheel nearby many fish marked the same way have been taken. These marked fish weigh from 35 to 40 pounds. It is the opinion of Mr. Paquet that the fish have been marked in some hatchery after reaching full growth and not when small fry. He does not think young fish could be marked as these are. If the marks were placed on female fish after being caught at some hatchery, Mr. Paquet thinks this will disprove the contention that all female salmon die after spawning. He would he glad of information as to who branded tlfe salmon thus. BOYS TO LEARN SWIMMING V. M. C. A. and. ChlcagOj Schools . Unite to Curb Drownings. CHICAGO. June 7.

So extensive has been the advertising for the Rose Festival that, according to R. M. Hnll. it has extended even to the insect kingdom. Buzzing around the bunting yester day morning on Morrison street and hanging round the lights on the Corbett building, in which Mr. Hall's office is located, was a great swarm of bees, with a queen bee ruling the thousands of her honey bearers. Feeling the divided authority might not be relished by H. M. Rex dregonus and H. M. Rose, queen, a hard-hearted Vassal of the reigning monarch cap tured the flying insects and put them in a bag-. That they would have added excite ment to Rex Oregonus" reign at the outset. If allowed to mingle with his subjects, goes without saying. SUIT ON AGAINST ROADS Fight on Anioug Lines Entering Lewiston and ClarksWm. ASOTIN, Wash., June 7. (Special.) denoting a condemnation sui there was filed today with County Clerk Post and County Auditor Amman an instrument entitled the Northwest Railroad Company against the Clearwater Railroad Com pany, the Lewiston-Tlarkston Company, the Union Trust Company of Spokane, the Lewis ton Water & Power Company, and the Clearwater Short Line Railroad. The instrument was filed by the Port land representative of the Oregon Rail road & Navigation Company, Attorney Harold W. Strong. The description of the land to be con demned shows it to be a part of the line of the O. R. & N. extending from Hunt ington, Or., to Lewiston, Idaho, over the line surveyed. It also - embraces part of what is known as the Northern Pacific survey and it appears that the action is a fight between the railroads entering Lewiston and Clarkston. The action comes before the Asotin County Superior Court October 8, when the damages will be prescribed. No notice has yet been served upon the new Lewiston-Clarkston Improvement Company. The land sought to be condemned lies for the most part on the Snake River and will be used for tracks, sidetracks, sta tion and water station. The line from Huntington is now in progress of con struction and. information shows that the Northwestern Jine will connect with the Oregon Short Line Company between Lewiton and Huntington. CARSON CASE IS CLOSED HERRJUXX REITERATES THAT HOGAX GETS PITCHER. Sees Xo Xecesslty for Coast Having Rule Which Is. in Conflict With' Those of National Commission. SAN FRANCISCO, June 7. (Special.) The Carson incident was finally closed this evening by a long telegram from August Herrmann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, to President Graham, of the Pacldc Coast League in which he states that he can see no necessity for the conlicting resolution of the Coast League and re iterates his former statement that Car son is eligible to play with Vjrtioi. As the National Commission is the court of final appeal in such matters. President Graham this evening wired Hogan that Carson belongs to him and may be used tomorrow if he so desires. In his telegram Herrmann states that Portland, according to the evidence submitted to him, had its opportunity to claim Carson back, but did not take advantage of it. The National chair man also points out that clubs drafting players must be protected, as well as those organizations from which players are drafted. The text of the telegram follows: s "In my judgment there was no neces sity for adoption of the Pacific Coast .League resolution to which you call at tention. Clubs from which players are drafted are fully protected by the com mission rules. Rule 42 provides that a drafted player cannot be sent to a club, a member of the same classification from whom the player was secured, without giving the club from which he was drafted an opportunity to again secure the player at the draft price. "Portland, from the evidence submit ted, had this opportunity, but did not take advantage of it. The sale by Chi cago to Vernon Is therefore" legal and the player 1b eligible. Clubs drafting players must be protected, as well as those from which the player is secured. The Chicago club has a right to repur chase this player from Vernon at the draft price on August 30. This could not be done if your rule was in opera tion and the player was turned over to Portland. Will submit telegraphic cor respondence to my colleagues. "AUGUST HERRMANN, "Chairman of National Commission." STATEHOOD IS SHELVED SENATE PUTS BILL LAST OX LIST FOR SESSION. Democrats Fail to Keep It Ahead of Conservation, and It May Go Over to Next Session. WASHINGTON, June 7. By a vote of 40 to 24, the Senate yesterday took up the Administration bill to authorize the president to withdraw public lands for conservation purposes. The nega tive vote was cast by members' who be lieved that the bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico to the Union as sep arate states should have been given the right-of-way. The statehood bill probably will be delayed until near the close of the ses sion, when there may be slight chance for it to emerge from conference. The Democrats led in the movement to have the statehood aneasure substi tuted for .the conservation bill. The general understanding is that the rivers and harbors conference - re port will be taken up tomorrow. Op position to that bill and public building bill has been used effectively by the Democrats to compel the majority party to act on legislation which the minority favored. But now, if they take that course, the effect will be to delay ac tion on the statehood measure. Ap propriation bills will be used to dis place other business. There appears to be, therefore, strong probability that the statehood bill will be the last of all the important meas ures before Congress to come up for consideration. The indications are that final action cannot be- taken before next session at least. VAN CLEAVE CAN'T PRODUCE Ex-Insurance Commissioner Falls to Clear Himself of Charge. ROCK ISLAND, 111., June 7.

Close to 15,000 People Witness Display Battle Fails to Materi- alize, as - Monitor Balks. The Oaks held the boards on last night's Rose Festival programme and to say it "made good," is putting it mildly. The character of the entertainment given at the famous playgrounds, was of a nature, however, to incite ecstasy and there were hundreds present who forgot themselves as they witnessed the bril liant pyrotechnic display on the Wlllam etto River. Last night's display bore the stamp of genuiness. Every exclamatory ex pression in our tongue, .and some not in it, was exhausted by the great throng, estimated to number 15,000 persons. Par ticularly were women enthralled as the magnificent bursts of fire followed each other in rapid succession. Following each there was a chorus of long-drawn, "aha." i The display lasted for over an hour and when It was finished one was almost exhausted, so intense was the individual Interest. It was shortly after 9 o'clock when those already in the long grand stand and those strolling along the boule vards and through the parkings, heard the report as of a cannon. That was the signal for the commencement and the crowds rushed for the waterfront. Soon balls of red, white and blue fire were placed in the water, surrounding the temporary raft-stage erected in the wa ter directly in front of the grandstand. These flared up beautifully. Illuminat ing the water for hundreds of feet around. . The great crowd holds its breath I r. -iLniir1-; ,, . j while an unconscioifs sense vainly gropes for some adequate expression of feeling, ending in well-nigh inarti culate and meaningless, save for the intonation, exclamations Of delight. Now .is the climax of the display. There is a great mass of fire on the stage. Now the outline of a fire rose comes into view through the glimmer ing mass. Now it is brighter and more distinct and constantly changes' its color, while the spectators clap their hands in meritorious applause. It is not often that so large an' as semblage pays such tribute to any kind of performance, but it assuredly did last night. Another opportunity will be given Wednesd. night and again Friday night. The surroundings had a great deal to do with the success of the event. The hills on the west side of the river made a good background. The battle between the Monitor and Merrimac was not given owing to the mechanism of the Monitor going wrong. The Merrimac came out discharged its bombs and burned its red fire and "good night" formed by another Pain's contrivances in letters of sputtering nre, closed the performance. The crowd was good-natured throughout. When the time came, howevjer, for leaving the Oaks it was - not so good-natured. Two little booths had been provided by the streetcar company to take care of the ticket-s'elljng for the cars, and hundreds were forced to wait in line AUBURN-' jas ""L. ww" j"" x A car with speed, hill-climbing qualities.
