(Special to The Evening News.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. It Is rumored here today that the big business and railroad Interests have combined to force through the de mand Advanced toy Western rail road companies for a freight rate Increase which will amount to the gigantlq total of $75,000,000 an nually. Wall street, it Is generally understood, Is opposed to the presi dent's idea of railroad legislation and will join in the fight for higher, rates. The club that tne corpor ations are holding over the head of the Inter-State Commerce Commis sions and the country In particular, Is the threat of "hard times'. Rail road officials in Washington during the discussion of the rate question were very pessimistic In their utter ances, and while they did not open y say as much, they gave out the Impression that if the matter was not settled satisfactorily to their inter ests they would bring about a finan cial depression that would paralyze tne industries of the whole United States.

Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the Oregon Development League, electrified the opening session at Salem today with the statement, "Last June James J. Hill, the Empire builder of ttihe Northwest, gave me his word that he would not only Invade the territory of the Harrlman Bystem, known as the state of Oregon, but gave me permission to quote him: The ex act worus used by Mr. HIM were: " 'More miles of railroad will be built in the state of Oregon during the next five years than in any state in the union except Montana. would have done It before If I could have gotten the money together.' "From my other conversations with Mr. Hill, I feel able to say to this convention that Oregon is to be opened by railroads for the devel opment sure to come, and that the vast wilderness known as Central Oregon will be made as easily ac cessible as the suburbs of Portland.' State .May Aid Publicity. Of equal importance to the state was the promise from Charles L. McNary, representing Oswald West go'emotf-elect, 'that the Incoming executive would recommend an ap propriation of $20,000 per annum for the publication of a state ad vertising book, the resources of each county to be given space. In such words did President Wil cox begin his speech accepting the hospitality of tne capital city as ex tended by Mayor Rodgers, and as the; message fell from his lips it elicited enthusiasm no less marked than did the address of welcome by the chief executive of the city, who advocated thQ opening of the fa- sources of the state to the farmer and the home builder. Known as the man who "held Hill's coattnils for 14 years," while demanding construction of the North Bank road Into Portland, Mr. Wil cox spoke for theN Empire Builder who has definitely Informed the or-j fleers of the convention that he can-1 not be here to make his own prom-1 Ises of the aid his railroads will extend In the development of Ore gon, the purpose of the convention. Politics Not Touched. It Is probable that nothing will be considered by the league beyond discussions of the best methods to be employed in advertising the state contributing to its development. The leaders are opposing to the idea of passing resolutions which may have a political complexion, and for that reason it Is not expected they will go on record In favor of the senti ment expressed by Ceo. F. Rodgers, Mayor of Salem, concerning conser vation of a large area of Oregon territory. The Oregon Development league Is declared to be the only organization of its kind In the United States, which has ever proved a suc cess and the opinion of its founders Is that It has lived because of hav ing kept away from everything but advertising, I The Kound-Up at Pendleton wm be Indorsed as ono of the unique ad vertising features of the state, and spoKane win ne asKea to ananuou Us announced Intention of present ing such a show next year. Pen- dleton delegates say they represent a portfon of the Inland Empire and that the Round-up idea Is their orig inal property by right of discovery. Astoria Plans Favored. Astoria's delegation has a walk away for the indorsement of the pro posed centennial celebration of the founding of the first city in Oregon, but Medford is not ready to concede that Astoria shall have the honor of entertaining the next annual conven tion of the league .and the delegates from the south are being joined uy other Wtlllanictte Valley cities. Eu gene sent a delegation of 30 mem bers of Its commercial organizations to Salem last night. The convention was called to order In the hall of the House of Repre sentatives at 11 o'clock this morning by Thomas B. Kay, president of the Salem Board of Trade, the assembly room being well filled with accredit ed delegates. Mayor Rodgers was the first speaker, who extended a wel come to the league and commented upon the remarkable growth of the state. The mayor said: "I believe In making the best and fullest use of those things which a kind Providence has bestowed upon us without waiting for the consent r.f posterity. I believe In developing Oregon as we find her. I believe that every acre that will yield to the plow, evlry stream that will water the land, every mountain that will give its mineral, and every for est that will furnish the means of shelter should open up for the Amer ican citizens to develop. Shutting Vp Revenues Opposed. "The people of Oregon favor n reasonable conservation of the for ests of the state, such as will protect the flow of mountain streams and provide for adequate reforestation, but they do not favor n policy which shuts out from development one fourth of the area of the slate and which can serve nothing but the fanciful purposes of a few theorists In Washington.

Travelers state that even the women and children are armed and In readiness to fight for their free dom from the domination of the bias reign, it Is believed by those who have witnessed the conditions there that It will require a force of 2000 troops to clean out the insur rectionists In Chlhauhua. The rebels nre mnssed near Han Andreas, and the feeling Is growing among Mexi cans, thnt despite wlmt Dint may have said to the effect that the rebel lion Is over, that the revolt Is only beginning. Prominent Mexican army officials at Jaurez, however, declare . that the trouble Is over. Pressed Free
