Washington June 16. The , sentiment
of the House seems to be to make the
president see his error. 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.

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

LEARNED A LESSON
(Scrlpps New Association)
Washington. D. 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.

The location of this ereat antamri i

for a long time that the big mill would

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. (Editor)
