ROSEBURG, OREGON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 11X18. NO. 217. President Suggests Terms For Brownsville" Negroes FULTON HANDED A LEMON Supreme Court Upholds Uarriman's Rc lusal to Answer Questions Tail to Panama Special to the Evening Review. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 14. President KooseveK today sent a spe clnl message to Congress bearing on the riot of negro soldiers at Browns ville, Texas, several months ago, which resulted in the dismissal from the army of every member of two companies of negro troops. The mes sage waB accompauied by a large mass of evidence taken by the board which inquired into the riot and which was unable to learn the names of the negroes participating, because their comrades either, professed ig norance of the affair or refused to give any Information that would lead to their identification. The president suggests to congress that those sold lers who will truthfully tell what happened at the riot, who will aid In fixing the responsibility and who can show that they were not Implicated, .be reinstated. The president's ac tion in dismissing the troops will be vigorously assailed by Senator For aker, who contends that the presi dent exceeded his constitutional au thority. Fulton Gets Rebuff. .'.

Bill Will Pass to Offset Democratic lumk Guaranty Plunk. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 14. In the Senate today the Postal Sav ings Hank Bill was taken un ns a sne- clal order, with every Indication that u win receive ravoralile consideration from a majority of tho lawmakers of the upper bouse. Senator Thonins II. uarter, or Montana, who is In charge of the measure. giveB It ns Ills opin ion that the bill will pass the Senate without opposition of any serloUB kind. Both the president and the postmaster general favor the nasaae of the bill. The fate of the measure in (lie House is problematical, as Speaker Cannon Is opposed to It, but u is neiieved that the Influence of President-elect Taft will he sufficient to overcome the opposition of the speaker. The Republican party Is now com mitted .o it, as Hie president-elect. William II. Taft. who anoke in de fense of It many times during the campaign. If the principle of postal savings banks can bo put Into the leooral statutes, Kenalor Carter be lieves that It will rorever stop the Democratic demand for the snarnniv of bank deposits, and thus take away from that party the strongest Issue It had In the so-called doubtful nnd close slates In the middle west. In those states William J. Bryan made his campaign chiefly on the bank guaranty issue, and if this should be taken away from them by art of Con gress, the Democratic party would have to turn to some other Issue four years hence.

Dec. 1 3 After 12 yeurs of service as head of 1110 Department, the Scoretnrv of Air rhultiiro in his nnnunl report Isaued louay presents a review of the pro Kress of agriculture) In the United States during this period. Concern ing the farm production of 1008, he says mat me rainier has created wealth by tho billions. Production nns oecn above the average of re cent years with few oxremlons: nnd while some prices have fallen, others navo risen. The riirm value of all farm pro ducts of 1908 renches the most ex traordinary total In the nation's his tory $7,778,000,000. Tills is nhont four times the value of the products of the mines, Including mineral, oils and precious metals. The farmer contributes 87 per cent of the raw materials used ill thoso mnmirncliir- Ing industries which depend mostly or considerably upon agricultural materials, and these Industries use 42 per cent of all materials used In all Industries. The gnln In value of fnrm products In 1908 over 1907 Is $290,000,000 and would have been much larger had not the prlceB of cottou and hay been low. During the Inst 10 years the wealth production on the fiirnis or this coun try has exceeded the fabulous sum of $00,000,000,000. Tho corn crop this yenr Is 2,04 3, 000,000 bushels, valued ait $1,015, 000,000. Compnred with the aver age of the preceding flvo years the tho quantity Is 2 per cent higher and tho vnluo 43 per cent higher. Tho cotton crop Is likulv to be one of the three highest ever produced, with a vnhie next to tho highest, or Iierhaps more. The greatest hay crop in history has been gathered this year, 68,000, 000 tons, or 12 per cent above the av erage of the preceding live years. Its farm value Is $021,000,000, or 0 per cant above the iivo-yenr average. Wheat l 1 per cent nhovo the live-year average In production nnd 23 per cent above In total value. The 000,000,000 bushels are estimated to no worm about $020,000,000 to the runners, or $08,000,000 more than the most valuable wheat crop hereto rore produced. The oat crop Is worth $321,0000, 000 for 789,000.000 bushels, or. 10 per cent above the live-year average value and 9 per cent below the aver age product. The barley crop, 1 07.000,000 bush els. Is 13 per cent above the live-year average and Its value, $80,000,000, Is 23 per cent above. Both have been exceeded only once. Rye In value Is $22,000,000, 17 per cent above the average. All cereals aggregate 4,329,000, 000 bushels, a total that has been ex ceeded three times, but the value reaches $2,094,000,000, or more than $300,000,000 above that or 1907. and exceeds still more the totals of former years. Compared with the preceding five years, the number of bushels Is higher by 0.2 per cent and the value Is higher by 32 per cent. Nearly 500.000 short tons of beet sugar will probably be made from yield or Bugar beets this year and the factory value Is about $15,0110.000. About 407,000 short tons of raw cane sugar were produced. i'nfavorable weather made the po tato crop only 275,000,000 bushels, or 5 per cent below the fife-year av erage, although the value. $190,000. 000, is 18 per cent above and was never equaled. On mount of the extremely low price of hops in 1907, the average production and value of 1908 are h,w and have been excelled In many f.ir mer years. For the Unit lime, this year the va'oo of all farm crops equils $5,- I ocio, noo. 000. Although tlii- fmer 1 gen hardly 20 cents a pound for his ' butler, bi tween 3 and 4 eenls a qunrt lor his milk and about I eenls for each egg, yet the value of the rarm ' closo to $800,000,000, and the value of tho eggs and poultry Is as much ns itho cotton crop. Boed included, or the nay crop, or tho wheat crop. lUie extraordinary prosperity of the rnrmers following their low fin ancial condition a dozen years ago and earlier has enabled them to pay higher wages for farm labor than be fore. In the matter of wage increase compared with prices, the fnrm labor er has fared better than the working men employed in manufacturing and mechuuloal industries. The old cotton plantation that nn lender wanted ns a mortgage secur ity la now sought for Investment, mid Its owner can borrow without mort gaging. The farmers of tho poor inorlgage-rldden Knnsas of former days have stuffed tho banks of that state full of money, hnve organized banks of their own and have Bent money to the east to be Invested. The total cost of our 2,151,000 miles of road Is over $1,720,000,000. whllo the percentage of Improved roads was only 7.14 to 1904 and is probably not in excess of 8 por cent at the present time. The number of national forests Is now 182, and the total area 108.000, 000 acres. At $2 per thousand feet stuinpaso tho timber standing In these rorests now contain oua-lirth or the standing iiieiThnutable timber In the country. The lira loss ror the calendar year 1907 was less than half that for tho prevlojis year, which In turn was less than in any preced ing yenr. The ratio of I.xss to value or timber protected wbb only about 4 cents to $1000. The amount or tim ber sold from the nntioiwil roresls wns 880.000.000 feet, and the re ceipts from timber sales were $850, 000. The grazing privileges yielded Inst yenr an Income of nearly $!, 000.000. Lost year tree seeds were sown broadcast In 27 forests In 8 stales to test it ha usefulness or tills method. In the government's torest tree nurseries nbout 700.000 young trees were planted out. Over 2.000, 000 trees will be ready for plnnlliiig In 1909. ADVERTISED LETTERS.
