INTEREST IN WEST KEEN pcctcl of American Oitixens Leaving- Cnltcd State to Seek foreign Homes Gives Pain Where iff Seen. OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU, WmIi-ina-ton. April . Makln- rood hl promise t Senator Borah, of Idaho, Chamn Clark left the Speaker's chair lut Wrdnudar. took the floor, and In a 10-mlnute speech strona-ly ura-ed tha passaa-e of the Borah-Jones three-rear homestead bill. . I are la faeor of fixing- It so that no American, cltlsen will want to depart from the Vnlted States to secure a home In a forelg-n land." said tha Speaker tn conclusion, amid a storm of applause ' from bjth sldefe of the House. ' After declaring- his purpose hereafter to participate somewhat In the debates in the Hoih. Speaker Clark said: -Mlsaourlana take an abiding; Interest In the whole Western country." He then recited the fact that Thomas H. Benton, "the a-reatest Missouri states man that ever lived," had conceived the Idea of passing- a homestead law, but passed out of Congress before he could carry out his Idea. Tha da that Benton left tha Senate, Oalusha K. Grew, of Pennsylvania, entered tha House end after six successive ses sions, finally passed a bill which em bodied the Benton Idea of what a homestead law should be. Clark eon tended therefore that' the homestead law was really a Missouri product. Mloaoarlaao Kassereaa la Wl. . The Speaker. also, called attention to the fact that irreat numbers ef Mls aourlana have left their native state and. moved farther West. "That West ern country has been larg-ely populated by lllasourlans." said, the Speaker. They are a prolific race. I suppose I have received 100 letters from Mls aourlan In .the. West la favor of this 1)111. and I am -making- these remarks to please them more than for any other reason, except for the strongest leason possible; and that Is that the bill la right and oaght to pass. ... "Benton's theory and I am simply following; It out was that the pos session of homes and I believe it with rll my heart or the fcettlnr of homes for bona fide settlers ought to bs roada as easy as possible. The home Is tha unit of American civilization, and the more' we have the better for .tha .Re public. The peculiarities under which this bill Is presented here are these: With tha rich soil of Illinois or of Mis souri. Just as quickly as a farmer could tret the land plowed up, he could make a livlnc upon .lt and-he could make a living upon a few acres. But the lands that will be affected by this bill are not like those lands. The pick and choice of the public lands have bees takea up. It Is extremely dlfll eult for a man to make a living- on the 10 acres of auch land as remains. It la Impossible, I believe. In a Rood many eases for a man to make a living; on 1(0 acres of this dry land for five years, the required period under the existing, law, and be able to support his wife and children while he Is liv ing on it. I am In favor of cutting; down to three years and believe, by.do Intr we will render not only the homesteaders, but all the people of the -United States a valuable service. Amerlcaa Cltlseaa Colas; Away. "To no the most painful feature of the day In which we live Is to see a constantly Increasing; stream of the best Airierlcan' citizens of this country jrolns to Manitoba and Alberta. On one day In my county 43 families loaded np an. entire freight train and pulled out for Alberta with all their belong ings. Another man In my district sold out his farm for $40,000. moved to Manitoba and entered or purchased 10.000 acres of land up there. He grave each df his eighty children . 1000 acres, keepfng- 1000 acres' for himself. That Is the kind of Aroerlean citizens -who are leaving thla country and going- to the British Northwest. The Immigra tion agent up there estimates that every American cltlsen who goes over there carries with him on an average f 1000. I am In favor of fixing it so that no American cltlsen will want to depart from the United Statea to se cure a home In a foreign land." Tha Speaker's little speech on the floor of the House represented only a email part of hla work In the Interest of the three-year homestead bllL Since Jit first took up the measure at a conference with Senator Borah, he has been urging Democratic members of the House to lend their support to pass the bill, and the result of the Speaker's missionary work was appar ent when on the day of debate every Democrat who spoke favored the bill. and not a . Democratic vote was cast against any of Its Important provl-along.- while the Democratic member solidly resisted those amendments In tended to Impair the usefulness of the bllL NORTH BEND RIGHTS HIGH Residence) Owners Demand Good Price From Southern Pacific. MARPH FIELD. Or.. April . (Spe cial.) The Southern Pacific Railroad is .still endeavoring, to secure right of way In North Bend. The company owns a rta-ht of way from Umqua River down the coast to a point opposite North Bend and for some weeks past thi acent baa been negotiating with prop erty owners for- right of way within the city. It Is apparently the plan to bridge the bay from Sand Point to the city and the land for which offers are being made, is "a strip to connect with the water front where the local Terminal railroad Intends building. The land desired in North Bend is the residence district and In scores of casea Is oc cupied by handsome bouses.
