WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. The
Washington Post today predicts that
a congressional investigation of the
Itnllinger-Pinchot controversy will
follow the publication of the differ
ences between the secretary of the
interior and the ehief forester.
SPOKANE. Wash., Aug. 14. The
17th national irrigation congress is
history todny. The chief feature of
Hie session was the attack on the
policy of the interior department un
der Secretary Ballinger and the out
come of the session was a set of res
olutions upholding Chief Forester
Pinchot.
Several resolutions eommendiug
the administration of Ballinger were
defeated, while incidentally a reso
I ii I inn was adopted condemning wa
ter power monopolies, declaring that
the water of tbe nation belongs to
the fjcople. For five days a furiou?
buttle of words was continued, the
convention being marked with thrill
throughout. '
The next battlefield of the two
forces will be Denver, when the trans
Mississippi congress will be held. In

A dispatch from Oregon City to the

city, had been arrested for embezzle
ment in an amount of $200 and that
he would have his preliminary hear

ed that Patterson had been drinking

Almost identical was the case of
Mr. Patterson in this city last fall.
He got to drinking heavily and dis
crepancies were found in his books
in the local telephone office amount-
ing to nearly $1000. He was not
prosecuted, owing to the fact that
his , aged mother came to this city
and made good the amount of the
discrepancy found here. As the names

it is presumed that the Mr. Patter
