THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 8. 1909. 6 NEW YORK VICTOR IN EIEHT-OAR RAGE ture aUecrease of $7,549,000 in cash, whfch was accounted for principally through operations with the sub-Treasury, the banks having lost rather heavily in their dealings for the last six days because of the heavy payment on account of the anticipatory customs payment. The statement as a whole, however. rendered rather misleading, so far as comparisons are concerned, by reason of the inclusion of figures of the Coal and Iron National Bank, which as a new member of the Olearing'House made its Mfllrp.fi Fflfit Timo in Nat nna! first report. Saturday in the matter of loans was only J3,6-,3-X, it is evident that, exclud ing the Coal and Iron National, the other banks decreased their loans rather than Increased them. The current statement showed also a decrease of ,29o,00 in de posits, and as the deposits of the Coal and Iron National are larger than the sum mentioned, there must have been a decrease on the part of the remaining institutions of at least twice the sum re ported in Saturday's statement. However, the statement as a whole showed that the reserve on deposits fell bringing the surplus up to TO6.750. The summary of state banks and trust companies in Greater New York not re porting to the New York Clearing-House showed an increase of .',027.200 in loans, an increase of about $1,700,000 In cash and Increase in net deposits of JS,6i2.7J0.

La Follette Claims Credit for Taft's Victory Over Aldrich and Downs Opponent. MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug-. 7. (Spe cial.) Milwaukee's home-coming- has come and gone. Notwithstanding that It was made the occasion for many po litical conferences, the fact remains that the situation is not any more clari fied than It was weeks ago. If any thing, it has become more muddled. Those who expected to see in the pri mary election law an end to political wire-pulling must be sorely disappoint ed, for at no caucus or convention have the wires been so adroitly manipulated as they are now being under the Wis consin law. The chief disturbing block Just now seems to be G. V. Davidson. Since th investigation Into the election of Sen ator Stephenson, with whom the Gov ernor had made a troth of alliance, It has been evident that he could not be come a candidate for the United States Senate, an ambition which he has nursed for some years. Then again. Senator LaFollette. against whom he Is to be pitted by the reactionaries, Is today stronger than ever in this state on account of the victory of President Taft over Aldrich Ism, as a big portion. If not the major part of the credit, the Junior Senator arrogates to himself. HOTEL CLERK CONFESSES ALTj-STAR NrVE IS PLAVVED PocnVSeaaoa Baseball Idea Finds Baos-tng In Cincinnati. CESCIXXAH.

Wednesday afternoon will witness the biggest session of the 17th National Irri gation Congress, when Richard Achilles Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, will speak on "The Attitude of the Govern ment Toward the Reclamation of the West," and it is declared by delegates that Ballinger will be asked to go fully into his policy toward reclamation. A statement made by Ballinger in Seat tle that he did not believe in the Gov ernment's taking up any projects as long as private capital waa willing to enter the field will be the subject of much dis cussion. Ballinger will be asked to ex plain exactly where he draws the line and whether this policy means the aban donment of Irrigation projects in the Northwest, where the land has already been signed up for Government Irriga tion. The board of governors of the congress met this, morning at the Spokane Hotel and ratified the tentative programme. (-nier forester nnchot will speak Tues day morning and will be followed by Ballinger Wednesday afternoon. Ex Governor George C. Pardee, of Califor nia, win speak after Ballineer and the time between addresses is expected to be made the signal for fireworks between delegates for and against Ballinger-a plana Pinchot to. Arrive Monday. The executive committee met this afternoon and ratified the action of the board of governors. An amend ment to the Constitution, which will give more permanency to the organiza tion and provide headquarters and the expenditure of money between sessions, will be presented for ratification. If it is carried, it will enable the senti ments expressed at each Congress to be carried Into effect through oo-oper-atlon with Government officials and through representatives of Congress at Washington during- sessions of the Na tional Congress. Chief Forrester Pinchot Is expected here Monday morning. Director Newell of the Reclamation Service arrived to night and Secretary Ballinger will ar rive probably tomorrow. Secretary Hooker, of the Board of Con trol, will on Wednesday introduce a reso lution memorializing Congress to Issue $5,000,000,000 bonds for reclamation work. This question bids fair to form the one big issue in the deliberations of the Irri gation Congress. The answer will be an indorsement or a refusal of the Roosevelt policies as pertaining to reclamation and conservation. The gigantic scheme of reclamation is: Gigantic Scheme Proposed. One billion dollars for draining of over flowed and swamp lands, thus reclaiming an area equal to 100.000 square miles, an area potentially capable of supporting 3,000.000 persons. One billion dollars for the reclamation by irrigation of 40.000,000 acres of land now wholly or partly waste. One billion dollars to construct and Im prove deep waterways, to develop thou sands of miles of territory, without ade quate transportation facilities at present. One billion dollars for good roads and National highways. One billion dollars ror forest protection. reforestation and conservation of the forest resources, assuring perpetuation of the timber supply. The plan is to persuade Congress to Is sue gold bonds, bearing 2 or 3 per cent and running 100 years, to the amount of J6.000, 000.000, for those specific purposes. Improvements to Pay Bonds. 'Five billions of dollars is an enormous sum, but it Is no more than is actually required for developing millions of acres In various parts of the United States now absolutely worthless," says Hooker. Congrees will not be asked to appropri ate a penny. The returns from the im proevment would pay off the bonda. The Government would simply act as banker, as It does now for the various irrigation projects." As a direct corollary to the Hooker proposition will come the subject of thor ough organization of the country to insure unified action. The subject will be threshed out In the congress, forming THIS WEEK Only one more -week left before closing store for entire remodeling. In or der to reduce out stock to a minimum before clos ing, everytbinS at greatly reduced prices all week. Suits, Coats, Dresses, Waists, Guaranteed Silk Petticoats, Etc. Only one more week. DRAKE & SWAN CO. 415 Washington St, Corner 11th what will doubtless be one of the chief itue of the session. That this decision will not be reached without friction and probably serious clashes Is admitted. An Indorsement oi Hooker's proposal, in whole or in part, would mean practically an indorsement of the Roosevelt policies - of reclamation and conservation. That the discussion will Include con servation as well as reclamation is made clear in Hooker's resolutions. More than this, prominent officials, including Gif ford tpinchot, chief forester; James Wil son, Secretary of Agriculture; F. H. Newell, director of the United States Reclamation Service, and Richard A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, will be on the ground. Clash of Leaders Expected. This, viewed In the light of recent events at Washington, with Ballinger ac cused of attempting to block the Roose velt policies of conservation and reclama tion, throwing open and then withdraw ing lands, under pressure from Taft, and figuring as the cause of friction In the cabinet over the questions that are bound to be sprung in the irrigation congress. points with practical certainty to occa sional periods of high temperature before sucn an indorsement as that mentioned Is made or refused. BALIilXGER TO SEE MONTANA Secretary of Interior Will Inspect Government Projects. SEATTLE. Aug. 7. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger announced today that he will meet the Senate committee on Irrigation, of which Senator Thomas H. Carter, of Montana. Is chairman, at Glendive, Mont., on August 13, and will accompany the committee on an offi cial visit to contemplated reclamation work In that state. The party will go first to the Iower Yellowstone, after which an inspection will be made of the Huntley project and of the Shoshone, LiOwer Milk River, the Flathead country and the Yakima dis trict. It Is expected that this trip will include all the large irrigation work now under consideration by the Gov ernment -in Montana. Mr. Ballinger will return to Seattle, August 31.

There are many beautiful locations in Portland, but heretofore they have been more or less restricted in area, because the land has been platted in small tracts. In its development, the owners of LAURELHURST have planned a residence district of the highest class, on such a broad and generous scale that it will be a credit to Portland, and would be a credit to any great city in the world. LAURELHURST is a tract Of land one mile long and three quarters of a mile wide which is being laid out and improved under a general scheme for artistic development that will give a wide scope to the best talents of architects and landscape artists. Go and see LAURELHURST for yourself today; see how the streets are laid out to pre serve the natural beauties of the tract; see what magnificent views the residents will have; see the rich soil that will make this , addition a rose garden in the heart of the "Rose City," . . Homes in this beautiful park are greatly to be desired. All of the streets in this addition are to be paved and all other public improvements, will be made under the ten-year payment plan as soon as the work can be done. The prices of lots in LAURELHURST, at this time, will be no higher than the prices of other property in the vicinity which lacks these advantages, but we expect to advance the prices very materially within a few months. At the present time, the prices of lots 50x100 feet in size, will range from $600 to $1800. each, the higher prices being for a few of the very choicest view lots. We have just completed a handsome office adjoining the old Ladd "Hazel Fern Farm" house in the center of the tract, and are now ready to receive visitors and show them the addition. Our representatives will be at the office on the ground today to show the property Come and see us. , The best way to go is to take the MontaviHa carline at Third and Morrison streets, which will take you to our office at 38th street, in 15 minutes. fecciTgllYrirgtf Co.
