NEW YORK, Oct. 20. The World
this morning prints a story to the ef
fect that James S. Sherman, repub
lican nominee for vice-president, was
connected with a scheme to secure
valuable timber land in New Mexico
for almost nothing through an act
of congress In 1902. The story says
that Sherman, Henry Casson, ser
geant at arms of the House of Repre
sentatives, and E. L. Phillips, legis
lative agent for Milwaukee brewing
interests, formed the Mexico Lumber
Development Company, and then en
tered into an arrangement with the
New Mexico land board to acquire
territorial timber nt a cost of about
one-tenth of its value. In order to
carry out the scheme. Sherman drew
a hill providing for the territory
selling Its lunilH in blocks of 25,000
acit'3. with no limitation as to the
minimum price. Sherman's influence
puttied the bill through the House,
but it was defeated lu the Senate.

PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURES
Money loss ia Typhoid Large Enough
to Build State Road Advice
on Tuberculosis
The Oregon and Idaho Develop
ment Confess closed tn Roscburg
last Saturday with addresses by Doc
tors Yenney and Pierce, of Portland,
members of the state board of health.
During the brief period between the
addresses there was a vocal number
by the Misses Arrie and Allle lllack
and Lucy Drldges, The congress
meets next at Vale, Malheur county.
Dr. Yenney's address had to do
wlththe best means of conserving
the public health. Along this line,
he devoted considerable time to wa
ter supplies and sewage, describing
some of the best methodB in vogue.
Some startling statistics on typhoid
fever In Oregon were presented by
the speaker. Estimating, that each
case of typhoid fover costs the pa
tient on nn average of $280 In loss
of wages and medical care. Dr. Yen
ney stated that enough money had
been lost through this disease In
Oregon the past few years to defray
the cost o!" building the state high
way from Portland to Ashland, at
advocated during the first day of the
con Rress.
Dr. Pierce's remarks dealt with
the dandly tuberculosis, and in thlF
connection he reviewed the work ot
the recent tuberculosis congress hold
In Wash in ..'ton, D. C, which he. at
tended nri nt which delegntes wore
present fn-ni nil parts of tho world.
T!:p gem il verdict of the congress,
he said, u is that tuberculosis is cur
able In nh'Mit 8i per cent of the cases
In the firs: stage, curable In a very
few cases In the second stage and
rapnble of only prolongation of life
In the tl
d stage. Of all deaths
;es In 1907, one In every
tal of 200.000, was caus

These addresses were as Interest

Addnr'f-m of Dr. Andrew C Hmltli, nt
Development ('(tngreHM.
In relation to building good roads
Dr. Andrew C. Smith, of Portland,
at the Development Congress In
Hoseburg, last week, spoke as fol
lows:
"I wont to lend my mite toward
starling the ball rolling for good
roads," paid he. "Everybody with
whom I have been associated seem
to have ci.ight the spirit of good
roads. .1 believe that If every body
will do the same, that much rood can
be done along this line. Kverybody
seems to be of the opinion that Ore
gon has not held her own in the mat
ter of transportation facilities. It H
time that -omething was done.
"J am ii"t interested In promoting
the transportation facilities of any
particular yrlton of the state. I
am latere' d In promoting the trans
portation i trilitle of the state at
large. We know that Coon Hay Is a
great shipping center and It can be
much gre;i !"r. It Is a shame and a
disgrace tl.-tt Judge Clarke should
be compeli. d to travel f00 mlleg to
come to yi.ur city, a distance of HO
miles front his home. It in 100 years
b' hlnd tli' ' times. It Is another
aha me and tiHgrare that he should be
compelled ( go another 500 mile
to get ba- to the Pacific ocan. It
has been - el) said here today that
we should ot be compelled to go to
San Krnm . -o or Portland to get to
Coos Bay We are here today to
try and have this remedied.
"Hoseburg has been called ultra
conservative. This Ib always a good
point to start from. I believe the
best thing for this city to do Is to
co-operate with Coos Buy and build
a road to Coos Hay. If they cannot
build a railroad, build an electric
road; If you cannot build an electric
road build a wagon road. A wagon
road is the forerunner of railroads,
good wagon roads mean more rail
roads "Now, then, if you of Hoseburg are
ready, let us get busy and build to
Myrtle Point, GO miles away. You
can got assistance from the state; you
can get assistance from the adjoin
ing county, Uudd a road that yon
can go from here to Myrtle Point by
automobile In from two to three
hours. Why do we not get to work
and do this now?
"It is a great necessity In this
state to have a great highway from
the north to the south, a highway
from Portland, or lu that vicinity, to
Ashlnnd, or that vicinity. This high
way Is bound to come through your
city. It will be such a great stimulus
to road-bulldlng that it will not stop
there. We will have another groat
highway from the east to the west,
and If you look upon your map you
will find that that would also pass
through your city and in the course
of time we would have a number
of these great Intersecting highways
similar to those Napoleon established
throughout his empire, Let us put
our shoulders to the whoel.
"This great hlghwny from the
north to the south should rost upon
a financial tripod of three legs. The
state should do Its duty, the count In-:
should do their duties and the prop
erty along It should do Its duty. Lol
us see that the next legislature riuot
something along this lino. Let v
say that the state should contribute
one-third of the cost, tho county one-
third of the cost and the property
one-third. Let the state appropriate
$r00,000 a year, for a few years
With the assistance of our convict
labor It would not be but a few year?
until Oregon would become noted for
Its good roads and cease to bo noted
for Its bad ones,"

NEW YOHK, Oct. 25. True to his
promise that the final Standnrd Oil
letters ho would read would open
the eyes of the American people to
the vicious influence of the Rocke
feller octopus ngalnst the public good
and disregarding the threat conveyed
to him that with more disclosures the
whole influence of the system would
be used to crush him, William H
Hearst tonight road the most startl-
fng and sensational documents yel
given out in his campaign work. In
substance, letters read by Mr. Hearst
from John D. Archbold to officials or
Pennsylvania show beyond all rca
sonahle doubt thai Standard Oil
placed judges on both tho Superior
and Supreme Court benches of that
state, and In addition, after the pny-
nent of sin.ooo by Attorney-General
Elkln, of Pennsylvania, that official
was asked In plain terms to kill cer
tain proposed statutes because they
were inimical to the Interests of
Standard Oil.
Klkin Is now, and has been since
1901, an nssoclnle justice of the Su
preme court of Pennsylvania. He
was attorney-general from 1899 to
190.1, and It was while he held this
office that he accepted money from
the oil octopus and used his Influence
In consequence to ward off any leg
islation which might hamper the
business of the Rockefeller monop
oly. Implicates ExCJovernor.
During the same period Charle
W. Stone wns governor of Pennsyl
vania. According to letters which
;he chief executive received nnd
which were read tonight by Mr.
Hearst, Stone was in direct touch nnd
harmony with 26 Broadway. He wan
requested by letter to appoint cer
tain men to the Suprelor court of
he state with the result that Judge
Morrison and Judge Henderson, at
Archbold's dictation, were appointed
owing In part to the "familiarity with
oil and gas."
