Speaker Cannon seems to approve the sharp tone of Wadworth't letter which he sent as a re ply to the president's letter yesterday A number of solons, after the conference about the White House, think they convinced the President the bill piovides sufficiently for a rigid inspection. " ROOSEVELT ADMITS HIS ERROR. The President thii morning 'made public the answer to Wadsworth'e : letter, in which he admits that he was in error, by having susposed that : the bill did not make packing plant open and accessible to inspection at all hours. However,, he learned the provision was in another place. He says in his letter that the Court Revision was the one to which he objected most but that was only one of the many he did not like. ' .The revision is similar to one that the Packers would themselves have provided had they fram ed the bill. '' PRESIDENT WINS AGAIN Washington June 16 The President will get all the demands he , made. The inspection bill, in the absence of Wad worth, was considered by the committee and it is clearly evident that the demands will be granted. . . .s , ? SPEAKER CONNON YIELDS Speaker Connon, who this morn ng tried to convince the President that he was in the wrong, finally accrdad and is now willing that Roosevelt's interpreta tion shall stand. GOVERNMENT TO PAY INSPECTION The president is willing that the Gov ernment shall pay the cost of the in spections, as so many cattlemen in the West have been worried over the pros pects if the packers were to pay their own inspection bills. THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER. ' The Pitisident's letter replying to Wadsworth says in part: "Such provi sions do not represent cr desire to pro scribe the constitutional rights to any man. It represents, doubtlessly in some eases, an honest though mistaken con viction, in o.her cases it represents a de liberate purpose to interfere with an ef fective administration by trying to pro vide that course which in reality adminis trates the work when they shall be the first to assert their inability to perform that work. I wish to repeat that if this provision is enactsd into Iaw.it nulifies the major part of the good which can be expected from the law. You say the packers want a rigid inspection law. If they do they will insist upon such pro visions being taken out of the law. 1 care not for the language of the bill. I want a bill that will force a rigid and thorough, and not a sham inspection. I will accept any changes in that bill that will secure this end." STATEHOOD BILL A LAW The president this afternoon signed the Statehood bill.

MASSACRED l!l RUSSIA (Scrlpps News Association) BerlinXJer., June 16. The Voorwarts State's banisnment of political prisoners of Russia to Siberia continues with usual activity. Thousands have been sent dur ing the month of May. Jews have posi tively den.ed the statement that the Bia lystok massacre was caused by a Jew throwing a bomb at a religious process ion. After the riot had continued for several hours, a number of 1 young Jew banded themselves for defense and fought the rioters desperately. ; ,; . '; RIOTS. AT BIALYSTOK ' Berlin. June 16 Eighteen young Jews were driven into the outskirts of the city where they barricaded themselves in a house, which in turn w attacked by three hundred rioter. The Jew fired until their ammunition was exhausted and then resorted to hurling missies. Boiling water helped to keep the rioters away for a time but they at .last' broke down the door. .The advance up the stair wa fought desperately every inch of the way but numbers soon overcome the handful of Jews. Reports have been received here by the Jewish Association that two hundred are killed in the masacre and forty or fifty wounded. Complete investi gations will show more casualties.

C.June 16 The army officers who accompanied the Barnum & Bailey circus for the purpnse of obtaining hints regarding the transportation and subsistence of a large organization tcon stantly on the move have returned to Washington filled with admiration at the perfection of system to which circus maa agement has been reduced. It was the very science of administration, and the officers found that such hour' dutie were done with the precision which left nothing unaccounted for. The were more than a thousand employes and about four hundred horses, to say nothing of the other animals. Everything was tranported without friction or delayo far- as the circus people were concerned, although difficulties were constantly coming up by reason or the failure of railroad facilities. The military observers . were impressed with the systematic work, which would probably not be possible in the army, fo Jie reason that men must be constantly changed, and the officer who has charge of transportation today may be detai ed to barrack instruction next year. This uncertainty is more prevalent now that most of the staff departments are made up of temporary personnel by the detail of line officers to four year periods of staff duty. It was stated that if the ex yoiiucuo wim 1.1 ib circus rurnisned any illustration it wa to be entirely , on the siae 01 tne permanent personnel and the encouragement of specialties.

Bid SAW II SITE In commenting unon benefits of anv locality which secures the large saw mill toon to be built by the Palmer Lumber ' Co. the Elgin Recorder speak a, follow The location of this ereat antamri i of a great importance to the people of cigin a ner ciuze rav been hopeful for a long time that the big mill would be located here, as the benefit of an enterprise of this nature to a town is be- yona estimation., beveral , nionths ago , the citizens of Elgin met with the mem ber of the commercial " ciub and agreed to give a site of 1 60 acres just couth ; of town to the stockholder of the Palmer Lumber Co. for mill purposes. A com mittee was appointed .to inform. th cdm- panyor tne orrer ana tney m turn were informed that when it came tor: a decision as to a mill site they' would consider tha matter. Since then nothing has been heard of the matter until '..the past rew day, and at present much interest 1 being! manifested over, tha enUrnrisa Elgin stand ready at present to donate the Palmer Cov a , sit of 1 6Q acre ;one half mile outh of town. The property at present oeiongs to J. A. Masterson and is the best piece of cround for a Xa.ro. mil . that is available in Eastern Oregon. On in land is a natural pond, which i of no little importance. Other than this there is a bountif supply . of good, pure water. Should the Palmer people decide to loca here the town stands ready to offer any other reasonable concessions that may be asked for. In. fact the only draw back that Elgin has in the least in ecuringr this , mill is . a question of whether "or not a sufficient supply of car will always be available for shipping purposes, for the reason that Elgin is situated Ion a branch line. Thi will cut but ilttle fig ure in the end however as without a doubt Elgin will be on a through line with in another year or two. It is a conceded fact that the O. R. & N. will build down the Grande Ronde river to Lewiton in a very short time, and the extention of the, road to Wallowa would never have been commenced had the O. R. Si N. Co. hot had thi object in view. This will place Elgin on an equal footing with La Grande on the question of car supply. Outside of this one thing Elgin offer better advant age in every respect than La Grande and our people should feel encouraged over the outlook of securing thie vast en terprise, It will be a great epoch, in Elgin's hist: rv and our r.itbon. ,;n .a ly welcome the decision that Elgin is to be the home of the largest lumber manufact plant in Eastern Oregon. Those who may think that La Grande ha acmch on this enterprise may find out to their sorrow that Elgin ha advantages that are worthy of consideration.
