Representatives Ellis and Hawley today appeared before the public building's committee to urge appropriations for Oregon. BMlis rec ommended an appropriation tor Port land and The Dalles, and Hawley put forward the claims of Medfor-d, Oregon Oity, Koseburg and CorvallUs. The committee stated It would not in the bill to be reported authorize buildings and sites for the same cities. Where the Government has sites, build ings will be provided, bmt in other cities nothing but sites will be pro vided. Under this rulinpj. Oregon can expect nothing but site. and not all cities on the list will be cared for. One Ktiflding for AXl Proposed. The public buildings committee seems thoroughly faru.il iar with the nituation at Portland and realizes the urgent need of better postoffice ac commodations. That 'che present build ing is entirely inadequate is readily admitted, but there is a difference of opinion as how besL to serve Portland. The idea prevail s that the Govern ment should retain the site of the present I'ostof fice, remove the old building and erect a large, handsome structure eoverimg the entire block, which not only will afford adequate accommodations for the Postoffice and the federal coutf, but all other Federal offices in Portland that now occupy rented quarters.

Governor Shafroth tonight sent the following telegram to M rs. Walsh: "All Colorado mourns with you. Your los is a persona! lor? to thf entire est. Our heart go out lo you in deepest sym pathy." News of the drath of Thomas F. Walsh jeacliod Colorado too latv to gain wide circulation in the state, but from every city and town where the news was re ceived came expressions o sorrow over Colorado's loss and sympathy for the be reaved family. The name of Thomas F. Walsh was a household word in Colorado. Whether in the halls of the State Capitol, the resi dences of Denver's financial leaders or in the miner's cabin on the lonely mountain side, Mr. Walsh was equally welcome and his friends and admirers were number less. Mr. Walsh came to Colorado in 1871 and engaged for a time as bridge builder. Later he superintended construction work on several business buildings at Central City. In 18S6 he went to the Black Hills l mining district. lie returned to Colorado t during the Leadville boom, and engaged ) In the hotel business. He also visited Cripple Credit during its early develop ment. In all his travels he added to his store of mining knowledge and formed many close friendships. It was in 1S&5 that Mr. Walsh located In the San Juan district, where he began the upbuilding of hie fortune in mining. He built the Walsh smelter at Silverton, and began quietly to gather In proper ties in the Imogene Basin, near Ouray. : In three years, from tne Camp Bird mine alone, he extracted $3,000,000 In gold ore. Later the property was sold to an English syndicate for a price in excels of $5,000,000. A firm believer In the "West, Mr. "Walsh was "one of the organizers and first presi dent of the Trans-Mlssdssippi Commercial Congress. He was prominently connected with the irrigation movement in the We?t, and a tireless worker for good roads. Mr. Walsh was a generous contributor to the State School of Mines at Golden. He founded the Vinson Walsh Research fund, which Is being used to advance in terest in radium mining. LICENSE IS FORGOTTEN TALBOT-MONTGOMERY SERVICE TWICE PERFORMED. Society Folk Lose Out on Invita tions to Second Ceremony M'lien License Arrives. After being Joined in the "'bonds of holy matrimony," at one of the most brilliant ! pociety weddings of the year at Trinity v.iiuit-n, inursuay, wun ootn itev. a. a. Morrison and Bishop Scadding officiating. Miss Mary Montgomery and the Rev. Henry Russell Talbot, rector of St. David's Episcopal Church, were informed by County Clerk Fields, in the most matter-of-fact way possible, that they were not married at alii As a result of Mr. Fields' telephonic information. Bishop Scadding hastened to the Montgomery residence and performed a second ceremony which was perfectly legal. Because Miss Montgomery relied on Rev. Mr. Talbot to obtain the necessary license and Mr. Talbot placed his trust in Bishop Scadding and Dr. Morrison, the state's consent to their union was not obtained. The wedding was one of the events or the year socially. Prior to the event the bride and bridegroom-to-be met at St. David's Church and partook of com munion at an early morning ceremony at which, prominent members of the so ei?ly world were present. The guests li;.l K'ft Miss Montgomery's residence after the wedding, when Mr. Fields' in sistent demand to know why they were married without his consent, came over the wire. Rev. Mr. Talbot dashed for the County Clerk's office. He obtained the necessary right. Messengers hastened to find Bishop Scadding and the good bishop was begged to come to the house in an emergency situation. When lie got there he was in formed that there had been no marriage and without any of the pomp and cere monial that distinguished the first wed ding, a second was performed, at 4 o'clock. Although every effort was made to keep the little contretemps dark, it leaked from an unexpected quarter. EXPOSES STEAL COAL-nEALERS ARRESTED FOR IRATD OX CUSTOMERS.

Dulaney, the planter whom Bil bo accuses of offering and paying the bribe of J645 for his vote for Percy for United States Senator, then took the stand. Of Representative Cowart he said : "We talked the situation over. Fi nally Cowart said: Matter Treated as Joke. " 'I am representing my county, but for $1000 I would represent Aire. Co wart and myself. "I told him nobody was buying votes and he replied that people would Joke now and then. "About this Mr:. Neil I met her around the Lemon Mouse. She seemed a pitiful old creature, crazy to make a little money, she said, 'for $2000 I can deliver nine votes, four in one bunch and five in another.' I said 'you are crazy and besides no ona is buying votes.' That is all I ever had to do with her. "Bilbo used to come to my room fre quently, take a few drinks and then hint that he was out of booze. So I'd tell him to help himself and he'd usu ally leave with a quart unopened. Bilbo asked me what was going to be done about the caucus. I said we would ap preciate anything he would do for Per cy.

Mr. Pierce, declaring: that the present laws were sufficient, eaid the miners of Alaska could be trusted to make rules among themselves as to minor matters, without Congressisonal interference.

Mr. Pierce added that "shoestring claims a few feot wide and miles long" would result from the proposed authority for staking 20-acre clalme, regardless of conformity to tho rectangular system of public land regulations.

The soil is the one Indestructible, im mutable asset that the Nation possesses. It is the one resource that cannot be ex hausted; that cannot be used up." "From the modern conception of the nature and purposes of the soil, it is evi dent that it cannot wear out, that so far as the mineral food Is concerned, it will continue automatically to supply ade quate quantities of plant foods for crops. "As a National asset, the oil Is safe as a means of feeding mankind for Un told age.s to come-" After he had cited these quotations, Professor Hopkins said: Can Farmers Be Blamed, He Asks. "Can you blame the farmers for con tinuing to wear out their land when these are the teachings promulgated from the highes authority In the United States?
