On that data you favored me with two newspaper dippings and a cosy of your 'sworn statement. Illeo by you In the office of Mr. Benson. Stat Secretary of Oregon, last month. One of these newspaper clippings Is from tha Washington Herald, dated De cember 1. and another Is from the Washington Star, dated November 7 last. Sworn Statement Tells. "In your sworn statement. I notice that you candidly state that you ex pended money to aid In the defeat of Assembly Republican candidates, rrora this, all of us understand that you now acknowledge publicly that you sought th defeat of certain Republican can didates and tha election of Democrats and mugwumps In their place. I was Indorsed by tha County Republican assembly hold In this city In July last for the office of State Senator from this county, and later on In September waa nominated at tha general primary election, and thus became entitled to the support of all Republicans: never theless, you spent time and money In an effort to defet me. and then after wards have tha assurance to rub It in' by sending this stuff above mentioned. -It waa not necessary for you to do so, because I am acquainted In a slight orree with your political record in thla state. I remember In I was nom inated for the office of District Attor ney on tha Republican ticket. That year tha lata Solomon Hlrsch was chairman of the State Central Repub lican Committee, and you were secre tary. You were ambitious ther. ,9 con trol the Legislature. At that time we all recollect that tha Republican party was split asunder upon the question of gold standard. Everybody remembers that you championed tha cause of free silver. Notwithstanding the fact that you were secretary of our state com , mlttee. atd thus la honor bound to eun- port tha nominees of tha Republican party, you set about to accomplish the defeat of all of them except those who were known In thoaa daya as "Silver Republicans." and sympathisers with yourself In an effort to wreck, tha Re- publican party. L Bourno Requested to Resign. " -You remember that you were re quested by many of tha candidates to ' resign, but you declined to do so. Ton remained In the office and devoted your ..time aad attention to- accomplish a fusion between the Populists. Free Sti rrer Republicans and Bryan Democrats, aa opposed to regular Republicans eup- porting the gold standard. A fusion was accomplished against myself, and I Buffered defeat with a great -many other Republican -candidates that year. Then In tha late Summer and Autumn of the same year you came boldly out and supported Mr. Bryan and did your tttmoet to accomplish the defeat of our late President. lr. McKlnley. "After following Bryanlc Idea and pursuing other wild chimerical theories and discovering that the people would have none of them, you quietly again dubbed yourself , a Republican and started In to run the affairs of our rarty one more. When 1100 or more cf the leading Republicans of this state met In a stata assembly In Port land last Summer and adopted a plat form and selected a list of candidates to be submitted to the people at the ' general primary election In Septem ber following, you came out and ad vised the electors of the state to vote for Democratic nomlneea rather than the candidates of the Republican party. Io one Instance yon were con sistent, because you followed tha course you aJvlaed othere to pursue, and spent money In an effort to defeat these candidatea. and now admit that fart. . "It would be Interesting to know what good yon nave accomplished for tha peo ple of Oregon during the paat H years. Do you believe that the people of Oregon are under the lxnpresM'-m that you have profited them la the least dVgree by ad voratlrg those wtM-eyed fads about which you occasionally preach to news paper reporters In distant cltlea? Modesty Is Displayed. -Of course.

Psf MeArthur eara it waa Intended aa a Christmas present. Jay Bowerman be lieve It waa simply an espreeston of recognition from a most dblngu!sbed etatesman to a plain d'.lten. Mayor Louie Lachmund regards It aa a gentle warning, coming from a powerful politi cian to aa unsophisticated cusa bow to vote on toe question of a Xnlted States Senator two year hence. A. N.

Wash.. Jan. 1. Special.) Governor 3 lay has the findings of tha commission appointed to draw a water code for the next Legislature. The commission recommends that no franchise be given for more than 30 years and favors an art providing for a system of control of rivers, streams, lakes and water supply and for distribution; pro viding the state be constituted into two water divisions and that a Board of Water Commissioners be created. Subject to existing rights, all waters will be appropriated for beneficial use, not otherwise. Each water division Is to have a water superintendent, ap pointed by the Governor, who must be a civil and liydraullo engineer by pro fession, to have general control over th. water masters of his division. An appeal may be taken to the Board of Water Commissioners, consisting of an engineer and division superintendents. A salary of SD000 annually Is to be paid to the hydraulic engineer, and each su perintendent Is to receive $3409 per year, i all serving under bonds. An appropria tion of 110.000 each year for maintenance of the Commission is provided. It is made a misdemeanor for a per AntA itu wiitr without a nermlt. or to waste or steal It, or to obstruct in any ! way--the use of th works or prevent access thereto. Th proposed law gives right of emi nent domain to the United States, states. Irrigation districts, or any person, firm, corporation or association, to acquire for public use any property or rights now or hereafter existing which are found neces sary for th application of water to benefit any public concern or to enlarge tha .a me In common with the former owner. In th event water is appropriated for the purpose of applying the same for development of power there shall be paid to the state a rate of not less than 25 cents nor more than SI in advance on or before January of each year, for each and every horsepower represented by the said appropriation. The Commis sioners are to determine tha amount of horsepower used. For this purpose horse power is defined as 650 pounds of water per second of time for each foot of avail able fall. Another proposed law prohibits turning sewage of any kind Into any source of supply for drinking or domestic purposes without first having all harmful solids removed, and this applies also to cities.
