9 SENATOR FULTON EXPLAINS LETTER Ill THREE DAYS' SPECIALS THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, MARCH . 24, 1907. ill' 4 ryiviiti &f:- iLsmji IN THE DRAPERY DEPARTMENT, COMMENCING TOMORROW Our sixth floor department offers for tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday various special items that will prove of interest to the economical an opportunity to replenish the furnish ings throughout the home. . - "Did Not Advise Oregon Stock men to Ignore Forest Re - serve. Regulations. r 7i MERELY EXPLAINED LAW Believes Federal Government Cannot Delegate Power to Punish Tres passers, but Had Xo Intention of Counseling Trespass. Senator Fulton emphatically denies tfce . Implication contained in a dis patch from Washington, published by The OVegonlan yesterday, that he re cently advised his constituents in East ern Oregon to ignore the rules and reg ulations of the Department of Agricul ture for the crazing, of stock in forest reserves. As to other features of his published correspondence with J. D. Combs, of John Day. Senator Kulton has no apolo sries to make, and in that connection yesterday gave out an interview set ting forth plainly his own views on the subject of forest reserves In their re lation to woolgrowers and cattlemen, especially with reference to what he believes, to be exorbitant grazing charges imposed by the government. "The letter I wrote Mr. Combs," said Senator Fulton at the Imperial last night, "was hastily written; was not designed for publication and was in response to a specific statement of facts by him. My letter was not so carefully guarded in language as it would liave been had I any thought of its being published, and It may be misleading without a knowledge of the particular facts to which it was addressed. "Mr. Combs wrote me that certain Government officials had notified farm ers residing in the vicinity of a fore3t reserve not to turn their stock out to graze before June. 1 think it was. as no stock would be permitted upon the reserve nntil then, and it any were found there they would be taken up and the owners prosecuted. That, in substance, was his statement as I re call it. He further said that it was a great hardship on the farmers to be compelled to keep their stock up until o late in the season. In my answer 1 had only that state of facts in view. 1 went so' far as to say that In my judgment there wns no law making it a crime even to drive stock into a reserve. Did Not Counsel Defiance 'I did not advise, and certainly would not advise, any such action. I simply Intended to illustrate how far the law was from making it a crime- for a farmer to permit his stock to be at large, and by reason thereof to go upon a reservation without his direct agency In the matter. "Now, while I do not believe there is any law making It an offense to drive- stock upon a reserve. I certainly would 'hot, and do not advise any per son to do ao without the consent of the .proper officials. I do not believe there is any. such law, because I do not believe Congress can delegate to a department official the power to pre scribe what shall or shall not consti tute a crime. But be that as it may. it must be conceded, 1 think, that even Connrrci Is without authority to make it a crime for one to permit his stock to go at large within the limits of a state. "Whether or not lands shall be fenced in order to guard against tres pass by stock Is a policy that must be determined by a State Legislature, and not by Congress. Oregon has a fence law. If the general Government would" prevent stock lawfully at large from going upon its lands it must do as other proprietors must do, namely, fence Its lands jir police them with a sufficient force to keep the stock off. It may be that Congress has power to make it an offense to drive stock into a reserve. Indeed. I am Inclined to think It has, but it has not done so, unless It was competent for it to tielegate to the Department of Agri culture such power, which I deny. "Still, all I was Intending to be un derstood as saying was that neither Congress nor the department can sub ject an owner of stock to a penalty because his stock, being lawfully at large under the state laws, goes on an unfenced tract of public land with out his connivance. That very ques tion was discussed in the United States P&nate during the last session, and the leading lawyers of the Senate, nota bly Senator Spooner. -emphatically and unhesitatingly expressed the opinion that Congress was without power to enact suoh a law. Rights Same as Individual's. ' "So raf as such matters are con cerned, the relation of the 'general feovernment to Its lands is exactly the relation of an individual to the lands he owns. If It is the policy of Mi state to allow stock to run at large, and to require a land proprietor to fence his land would he guard against trespassing, then the general Govern ment must fence or otherwise guard gainst such trespassing. And. while J dp not believe Congress can delegate to any official the power to make It a crime to drive stock upon public land, atlll I wish distinctly to state thst I do not advise any person to Violate any such order or rule when made. By so doing he invites litiga tion and trouble. "t do contend, however, that our farmers and stockmen have the right, when our state law permits, to turn their sto-k at larpe and. should the animals wltnout their connivance, go upon a reserve, tne general Govern ment i without power or authority to Impound the siock or 3iret the owner, and for any official to do the one thing or the other would, in my judgment, be a clear, violation of his duty and the law. "1 also wish to say that It is not my understanding that Secretary Wilson contends for any such authority. He is one of the most Just and conscien tious men I have ever known. "As regards the charge made by the Government for grazing on re serves. I have always contended that 1 s.iould not. in any event, be in ex cess of the- actual -cost to the Govern ment consequent thereto, which, in truth, is practically nothing, as few If any additional rangers are required because of the presence of the stock. The prico charged by the Government is not onlv burdensome to the stock ' men, but has already created a large f'lnd which is being employed in part, l ain informed, in forestry experimental work in CaJSfornia and other states. Surely' such a tnx should not be im posed on our people. "U Is true that Jtockmenis assoc.!- TheSuit's Testimony By Himself JUDGE look at roe now: See the way my lapels bulge Notice the uncvenoess of my shoulders how they have fallen away See how broken and lumpy looking I am in front Don't you think from the way I'm twisted here and distorted there that I'm about the worst looking Suit you ever saw in your life? " Yet there's good material in me. Judge. It I had beeo properly cut and made up, you wouldn't see me in this terribly twisted Condition not much. But 1 wastk't! Between these two prisoners my present Condition was assured. For the Tailor there cut me altogether Impr jperly, then hustled roe through a lot of inexperienced hunger-driven operatives who "slararaed" me together any old way. And when I came from their hands, I was badly made I felt it.' I should have been carefully taken apart and made over by skilled tailoring experts then I might have had a slight chance of being a good suit. But oo that would cc st money. I was thrown to Old Dr. Goose the Hot Flat Iron for his work is cheap. He stretched me here and shrunk roe there till every thread and strand oi Fabric ached and ached. But he made me loot the part of a well made suit like thousands of other improp erly cut and poorly tailored suits he has so "doped" To soon Come to the state you see me in now, Judge disgraced and dishonored Now that's the Charge 1 have against the prisoners. 1 might have been made into a suit that would hold its Shape (or Life How do I know? Because there are clothes so made "Sincerity Clothes" is their name. Youwoc't find a Sincerity Suit in ray condition not in a thousand years For Sincerity Clothes are made right from Start to finish. Sincerity Clothes are designed and Cut by the m.t expert and knowing tailors in America Tiien they're tailored by expert needle workers who Sew Shape and Form per manently' into the Fabric. When a Sincerity Suit is made, it is rigidly inspected the few slight alterations that may possibly be req uired are made byexpert needleworVers -not by Old Dr. Goose. All these things Cost money of course A Sincerity Suit cost the Sincerity Makers more money to make than it Cost the prisoners here to make me . But here's the mdsl remarkable pari A Sincerity Suit doesn't cost the wearer a Single Cent more than 1 and my class of Poorly Mades cost him . All first gr.adf ready-to wear de?lerca y Sincerity Clothes, Judge If you want to be sure, see that this label is in the Coat it insures Style, Service and Satisfaction. tiona have, on occasions, approved these charges. but, privately, they complain to mfe that they constitute a burdensome tax and that their ap proval was duo to a conviction that otherwise they would., have been dis criminated against In the allotment of grazing privileges. In that convicton 1 am confident they were mistaken. In any case, the opposition I am mak ing against such charges is entirely for them, and because of their appeals to me In that behalf, and because t be lieve the charges to be unreasonable artu unjust.'' SOON OCCUPY NEW HOME "We are so pleased to think that we will ' move into our new residence." said Mrs. C . while conversing with a friend the other day. "Everything necessary to make our home beautiful Is being Installed. The artistic and har monizing lighting effects are now be ing placed by the M. J. Walsh Co., 311 Stark street, who have been prompt and careful in their work. It will be to your advantage to give them your order, when you build." Woman Accused of Ijarceuy. . Mrs. Annie Jones was arrested at the "nlon Depot last night on a charge of .arceny. as she alighted from the Southern- Pacific train from Eugene. Constable F. P. Plank of Eugene, telegraphed tbe local police to act, and the woman was taken into custody. It is understood that her husband is the complaining witness. She denied that she is guilty. PROMINENT PHYSICIAN Secures New Pine Product-A Boon to Consumptives and Peo ple with Severe Coughs and Colds Heart of Tree Is Cut into Smalt Blocks The heart- of the tall pine tree is cut Into small square blocks. This is the method pursued by a prominent phy sician in his process of obtaining what is known to druggists and doctors as Concentrated oil of pine. Subsequently the vital juices are extracted by hydraulic pressure and go through a refining and condensing process, and yield this won derful curstive oil of which a great deal has recently been written. It has proven a most certain remedy for lumbago and uric rheumatism. It also makes a splen did salve to he applied externally by mixing It with lard or vaseline. But for the quick cure of coughs and colds it has no equal. For this purpose one-half ounce of the Concentrated oil of nine is mixed with two ounces of glycerine and half pint of good whisky. Must be well shaken and used In tablespoonful doses every four hours. It should be borne in mind that the real Concentrated oil of pine comes put up In small half-ounce bottles, each enclosed In a round screw-top case and sealed. This case is Intended to protect the con tents from the atmospheric changes. There are several patent medicines put out by chemical houses that use a similar name and packa.se. These are. frequently dangerous but can be avoided by making sure to get the "Concentrated" oil of pine. It will be found in the prescription department of every fixstrc'.aas toiarUt. ilill ill WM- i WINDOW SHADE SPECIAL In Stock sizes, 3 feet wide by 6 feet 6 inches long; green colors only.
