ERYAIPS LECTURE TOUR.
A Small Crowd Heard Him. Spealc at
Holyoke.
HOLYOKE, Mass., Jan. 10. William J.
Bryan visited Holyoke today and lectured
under the auspices of the Knights of Co
lumbus. He was given a half hour pub
lic reception, and the lecture began at S
o'clock. Mr, Bryan arrived In the city
this afternoon and went to the West-street
school. The children cheered him as he
stepped to the stage, and he responded
with a bow. Mr. Bryan gave a 15-mlnute
talk to the children. He advised them to
gain a good education and to strive for a
higher education, after graduating from
grammar or high schools. He concluded
by asking the children to sing MAmcrica."
He congratulated them, and then stationed
himself at the exit, where he shook hands
with each.
The reception In the .Knights of Co
lumbus rooms tonight "was not largely
attended, and only a few leading Demo
crats called. Not more than 700 persons
heard the lecture, but the audience ex
tended Mr. Bryan a warm greeting and
many of the points In the discourse were
applauded. Mr. Bryan delivered his fa
miliar lecture, "A Conquering Nation."
He will lecture before Harvard students
at Cambridge tomorrow.
The French Deficit.
PARIS, Jan. 10. A decrease In the rev
enue returns is again shown by the fig
ures of the last three months, which are
S.271.S14 francs below the estimates, and
20,105,000 francs below the returns for the
same period of 1900. The total deficit for
1301, compared with the estimates, is 111,
000,000 francs. The falling off Is attributed
to the nonimportation of wine. In conse
quence of the exceptional crops of 1900
and 1901, to the rearrangement of the ex
cise duty on liquor, and to the sugar
bounty policy. The latter is responsible
for 42,000,000 francs of the deficit.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Thrilling Experience of a British
Baric on the Vancoaver Shore.
TACOMA, Jan. 1L Seldom, If ever, does
maritime history record a more thrilling
experience or a more miraculous escape
from certain destruction than that which
was encountered by the three-masted Brit
ish bark Caithness-shire, Captain Fur
neaux, which arrived yesterday.
Driven on the rocky Vancouver shore
last Tuesday night in a gale, with but
15 fathoms of water beneath her, in the
teeth of a furious wind and heavy sea,
both of her anchors were lost, with 200
fathoms of chain. Helpless and with
shoaling water Increasing, Captain Fur
neaux and his crew expected to see the
vessel driven on the shore, and so certain
were they of her fate that the small boats
.were lowered and hurried preparations
made to take to them. Almost within an
Instant, however, the wind shifted and be
gan to blow from the northwest. Sail was
clapped on to the Caithness-shire .and she
was driven clear of shore, anchorless, but
safe. Seldom do such escapes occur. "It
was a miracle," said Captain Furneaux,
"and but for the miracle she would be
piled up on the Vancouver shore today
Instead of being safely In harbor."
Wire and Xall Pool.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 10. Arrangements
have been made for a meeting of the prin
cipal companies manufacturing wire and
wire nails In this city next Tuesday, at
which it is probable that an .arbitrary
price association will be formed for the
purpose of controlling the prices of wire
and wire nails. The association.
J if formed will be very similar to
the steel rail and steel plate
pools. It will Include about a dozen con
cerns, the largest of which, it Is said,
will be the American Steel & Wire Com
pany of the United States Steel Corporation.
ASK FOR TOO MUCH
Tongue Replies to the Cham

RELATING TO IMPROVEMENTS
He Believes the Sam Demanded Is Se
Large It Will Aroase Hostllty
and Possibly Defeat the
i
Projects.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Representa
tive Tongue, in a letter addressed to the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, in Teply
to its memorial relating to the improve
ment of the Columbia River at The
Dalles and Celilo, the upper river and
Its mouth, says the aggregate appropri
ation which it demands at once would
amount to $7,000,000.
"It Is not likely that the rivers and
harbors committee will appropriate more
than $20,000,000 or $25,000,000 to be avail
able at once," said he, "while it may au
thorize contracts to the amount of $40,
000,000 more. The Chamber, in asking
for an Immediate appropriation of this
large sum, has set the delegation a rather
hard task. It asks for a very large po
tion of the whole amount to be appropri
ated by the bill, much more than could
possibly be secured. While earnestly de
siring to secure an appropriation for com
mencing the Improvements between The
Dalles and Celilo, and hopeful of doing
so, I regard it ea rather dangerous to
ask the committee to make the entire
appropriation at this session of Congress
and to be made at once available. It
would probably arouse hostility in both
the committee and the House, and might
endanger not only that Improvement, but
other improvements of Oregon and the
entire Northwest, including tho one at
the mouth of "the Columbia, which Is of
extreme Importance, not only to Oregon,
but to the entire North Pacific Before
laying such a proposition before the com
mittee I should want at least to confer
with my colleagues and have assurances
of their belief that such a measure would
be wise and prudent. Personally, I think
it would not be.
"The proposition to ask for the con
struction of a portage railway is of
doubtful propriety. The Government has
not constructed these railways for the
relief of commerce, and it is not likely
it will do so now. If it should do so,
howvec, it 1 almost certain that It

la his opinion, the oywlng f the Co
lumbia River between The Dalles and
Celilo was of more importance to his
state than any other river and harbor
project under way or proposed, and that
his state would derive more benefit from
the improvement than the people of Ore
gon. He intends to use his best efforts
in behalf of this project.
The Portland Pestofflce.
The Senate committee on public build
ings today authorized a favorable report
on Senator Simon's bill appropriating
$250,000 for enlarging the Portland Post
office and Courthouse building.
The Treasury Department, which rec
ommends the passage of the bill, esti
mates that a three-story and basement
extension having 5000 square feet of
ground area would bo sufficient to meet
the demands, and can be erected for
$150,000, while an additional $100,000 will
be necessary for making repairs to the
old building. The -approved scheme con
templates the creation of an additional
courtroom. Judges' chambers, toilet ac
commodations, etc., for the courts and
fireproof vaults, new heating and ven
tilating apparatus and approaches for
the entire building. Senator Simon made
the report on this bill and hopes to secure
its early passage through the Senate.
So Permanent Censas Burcaa.
The action of the House today proba
bly means that a permanent census bu
reau will not be established. Unless the
present employes, appointed upon polit
ical Influence from both parties and out
side of the civil service law, are not leg
islated Into the classified service and per
manently fixed, the men who got them
their places will not vote for the bill.
Under the Instructions, the committee Is
obliged so to protect the employes In
the bill it brings back, and no doubt the
President will veto any such measure If
It ever reaches 'him. The Civil Service
Commission is vigorously opposing such
legislation, and the President has ex
pressed his disapproval of any attempt
to Ignore the civil service regulations as
is proposed by the House. Knowing this,
the present census officers and census
committees of both houses have carefully
avoided -the point, hoping to take care
of the employes by subsequent legisla
tion. Party Issue of the Schley Case.
Some of Schley's fool friends are trying
to make a party issue of his case. It
has been suggested that the next Demo
cratic caucus of the House pass a reso
lution declaring that, in its opinion, he
is the hero of Santiago, and that It Is
the duty of every member of the Demo
cratic party to secure his vindication , by
the American people. Of course Schley
understands and his best friends know
that It Is utterly impracticable to pro
ceed upon any such line as this, and
that to make a party issue of his vindi
cation would be a mistake. They know
that It Is Just an attempt of some Dem
ocrats to make party capital, rather than
to secure the vindication of Schley.
Subsidy People Coaadeat.
The friends of the subsidy bill assert
that they have entire confidence In their
ability to secure its adoption by the Sen
ate. They claim the bill, in Its modified
form, meets the. objections made, and
even men who were lukewarm In the last
Congress speak In favorable terms of It
now. Senaton Hanna said today that
there Is to be no let-up In pushing the
bill, and that the delays thus far are no
Indication that It will be allowed to he
dropped. The matter had been left In tne
hands of Senator Frye, and as he had
been absent during- the holiday recess,
no action was taken. It Is evident that
the special committee which has been
considering the measure intended to re
port It favorably, and, of course, there Is
no question about a favorable report
from the committee on commerce. The
Democrats are still determined to make
a fight together with a number of Re
publicans who will be very hard to man
age, and possibly the bill will be de
feated. In the House the subsidy Advo
cates talk very confidently, but it is
doubtful If they can get enough votes to
pass the bill.
DnuolM and Pcrranlt.
Senator Dubois called on Commissioner
Hermann today and asked for the reten
tion of PerraulL
Alaska Ijsnd Offices.
Chairman Lacey, of the House public
lands committee, today introduced a bill
to reduce the number of land offices in
Alaska to one, to be located at Sitka,
and providing for1 the transfer to that
office of all business that may now be
pending In the other two offices. Mr.
Lacey believes It is no longer necessary
to provide offices for political favorites
in this way. His bill will undoubtedly
pass.
Tammany Meeting Today.
NEW YORK. Jan. 10. The executive
committee of Tammany Hall will meet to
morrow afternoon, and it is said it is to
be one of the most interesting meetings in
the history of the organization. The new
committee for 1902 will then be named,
and several minor fchanges are expected.
Close friends of Mr. Croker said yester
day that he positively would be re-elected
as chairman of the finance committee.

$1,000,000 MORE CAPITAL STOCK'
Branches Will Be Ran to Aslrrvood
and PrlnevIIle Engineers Are Now
In Field Great Benefit t
Portland Trade.
The first definite move toward the long-looked-for
extension of the Columbia
Southern Railroad southward into Eastern
Oregon was made yesterday when E. E.
Lytle, May Enrlght and E. R. Deyoe
filed articles of Incorporation of the Col-"
umbla Southern Railway Extension Com
pany. The object announced is to build
an extension of the Columbia Southern
Railway from Shaniko to Bend, a dis
tance of about 100 miles, with branches
to Ashwood and Prlneville. The amount of
the capital stock authorized is $1,000,000.
The extension will consist of, first, a
line from the present terminus of the
Columbia Southern at Shaniko in a gener
al southerly direction, crossing Trout
Creek, and Crooked River, to a point on
the Deschutes River, at or near Bend
postoffice in Crook County; second, a
branch up Trout Creek, via the Oregon
King mine, to a point at or near Ashwood
postoffice; third, a branch up the valley
of Crpoked River to Prlneville. The usual
authority to maintain and operate the rail
road, and to construct, maintain and
operate telegraph lines, Is also taken. It
Is also provided that the company may es
tablish and o'perate stage lines whether in
connection with its railroad r steamboat
lines, or otherwise, and build, purchase
or lease steamboats or barges and operate
them, on the Deschutes River,, and re
ceive merchandise for storage, and carry
on a warehouse business. '
Engineers Xotv ia Field.
The incorporators of the -new company
are officers of the present Columbia South
ern Company, Mr. Lytle being president.
Miss Enrlght secretary, and -Mr., Deyoe
auditor of the old corporation. The new
company is organized for building the
extension as a matter of convenience in
financing the project, and it does not
mean that there will be any break in 'the
continuity of operation when the new
line shall be ready for business. The
whole property will be practically one line
from Biggs to Bend. It will be a standard
gauge, modern railroad in every respect,
and well equipped with rolling stock. The
route has been reconnoltered, but the
definite location has not yet been made.
This work Is now In progress, engineers
having been in the field some days.
President E. E. Lytle says the filing of
these Incorporation articles means the
building of the extension at once. Con
struction will De begun as soon as the
weather in that region Is suitable, and
the line will be put through to comple
tion this year unless some unexpected op
stacle shall be found. It is said not to be
a difficult country to build In.

for the product. Three Eastern com
panies own 44,000 acres covered with yel
low pine, all accessible from "the pro
posed extension. Mining development In
the vicinity of Ashwood, a new town on
Trout Creek, has reached a stage that
demands transportation facilities. From
the Oregon King considerable ore has
already been shipped, under the necessity
of teaming 20 rough miles to Shaniko.
The Ashwood is another mine the rich
ness of which .has been demonstrated,
and it has ore now on the dump awaiting
a railroad. The operation of these mines
alone would warrant the construction of
the railroad, for the tonnage they will
yield will be large and constant. All
these Interests have been waiting some
time for the railroad to move forward,
and great activity in those fields of en
deaor is sure to follow the opening of
the road. Farms and orchards will oc
cupy the range. There Is every reason
to expect as great a transformation in
that country as was worked by the rall
'rcfad when It was built through Sherman
Countj'. Settlers Immediately poured in.
and the volume of traffic that came out
has not ceased to be a cause for wonder.
Portland Will Be Benefited.
Portland trade field will be greatly ex
tended by the construction of the proposed
extension. A considerable part of Lake
and Klamath Counties which now have
their commercial relations with San Fran
cisco will find it easier to reach Port
land after the road to Bend shall be com
pleted. A wider extent of country will be
drained this way. and its rapid develoa
ment will amount to opening a new em
pire at our door. Further extensions of
this railroad are contemplated, one prong
to go to Lakevlew and another to Burns.
Those may come next year. Then Interior
Oregon will be fairly supplied with trans
portation lines that will tend to bind
Oregon together rather than tear It in
parts.
ARBITRATION DIFFICULTY.
Suppression of the Final Protocol
3Iay Solve the Problem.
MEXICO CTTT, Jan. 10. It is believed
that the arbitration difficulty in the Pan
American Conference has finally been dis
posed of, though It is uncertain how the
Chileans will act. The solution is to be
found In the suppression of the final pro
tocol, for which purpose a modification
of the rules of , the conference will be
necessary. For this purpose, a two-thirds
vote will be needed, but it Is already prac
tically assured. The suppression of the
final protocol Is the only concession that
will be made to tho Chileans. Its sig
nificance Is simply that the treaties ap
proved by the conference will only bear
the signatures of the delegations who ac
cept them. The final protocol will bear
the signatures of all the delegations witn
out participation, and It will be a resume
of all the treaties concluded by the con
ference, including that of compulsory ar
bitration, signed by 10 delegations. There
fore, as the Chileans would have had to
sign the final protocol with the other del
egations, they would have been placed In
the position of Indirectly sanctioning the
plan of compulsory arbitration. Now,
however, if the final protocol is abolished,
this difficulty will be overcome, and it Is
held that' the Chileans will be evincing
excessive sensitiveness If they persist In
withdrawing.
Ex-Senator H. C. Davis, chairman of
the United States .delegation, who left for
Washington tonight, took, leave ef the
conference at this morning's' session In a
brief speech. President Ralgosa appoint
ed a committee to take leave of Senator
Davla at the station. But in addition Mr.
Ralgosa himself and all the delegates, as
well as the employes of the conference,

THEOREGON FARMER
New Spirit and New Methods
in His Work.
HE IS NO LONGER A M0SSBACK
Work of the Farmers Congress at
Salem Revlevt ed Some Outline of
the Progress Achieved In Xew
Lines of Agricultural Effort.
SALEM, Jan. 10. (Staff correspondence.)
There Is no doubt in the mind of any
man who has attended the sessions, or any
part of them, of the Farmers" Congress,
during the past week, that a new spirit
has entered into the agricultural life ol
Oregon. Its manifestations take many
forms some practical, some whimsical,
some visionary and some reactionary, for
of course all men have not of a sudden
grown enterprising and wise. But among
these many indications of a new spirit,
or rather above them all and In reality
th6 parent of them all, is one general
and vastly hopeful fact, namely, tha
changed mental attitude of the Oregon
landowner. The spirit of resolute Inde
pendence, the instinct of i&olatlon, the
fixed habit of self-sufficiency these tradi
tions inherited from pioneer das, nur
tured by long separation from the wider
world and persistently reflected in tha
Oregonian character and life appear In
some measure at least to have jlelded to
the co-operative tendencies of modern
conditions and practice. At last the Ore
gon farmer appears at a man of open or
of opening mind, ready to abandon his
old habit of Independent and self-sufficient
excluslvenes5?, willing to learn from others
and to act with others. The charge i& a
mighty one, promfslng much for the wel
fare and the progress of the state.
The list of subjects passed In review- by
the congress, whose session covered a
period of three day. Includes all the gen
eral lines of Industry directly growing
from or related to the soil, but very nat
urally and properly the bulk of the time
and Interest of the meeting were devotod
to the newer growing forms of agricul
tural practice. The animal industries,
with special emphasis upon dairying and
the sheep; the orchard, with the apple
and the prune more particularly In mind;
the poultry yard; the hopfleld; these sub
jeqts, with the interests of labor, of trans
portation, of education and even of poll-
tica directly connected with them, occu-
prrUMtrao.Cthnleettagjafiff'igrc
it j&at-Jioae grewweary ana ,aiierpiii
8p!redrlth!"new enthusiasm in the Vari
ous lines of productive enterprise la which,
the members of the congress are engaged.
It was e"s3entlally a meeting of practical
men, and its spirit was such as to draw
out a world of discussion not down on
the programme; It was especially nota
ble that the wisest talk did not always
come from men of scholarly polish. At
many points In the discussions the vital
point was touched not by the man of most
suave habit and glib tongue, but by some
man whose working experience had put
him Into practical relations with the sub
ject under review, and had given him the
best and most scientific of all the forms
of education, personal working knowledge
of the precise fact. The temper of the
meeting was such as to encourage free
Inquiry and expression, and at the con
clusion of the stated papers the comment
was unrestrained and often spirited; and
It Is no discredit to the essajists to bay
that their formal presentments often be
came secondary in interest and instruction
when compared with the informal inter
change of experience and opinion which
they served to draw out. There is truly a
new spirit in the life of Oregon when two
or three hundred farmers mostly Willam
ette Valley people can be brought to
gether for the discussion of their mutual
Interests on the basis of general hopeful
ness and of the expansive tendencies of
our field and orchard Jndustrles-
Of all the demonstrations of this meet
ing, there nas none more Impressive than
this fact; namely, that in eery depart
ment of our primary Industrial activity
that is, of our productive energies related
to the soil there are those who are
working with minds open and teachable
and In the expert spirit. Whether the
subject be graingrowing, hopgrowing, .
dairying, the sheep, the, hog, or the hen.
it is somewhere, and by one or by many,
the basis of studious attention and intel
ligent experimentation. In every depart
ment there has been, accomplished the be
ginning which must lead Inevitably to the
end of revolution and reorganization upon
modern lines. Already the farmer who
heeds not the new spirit and the new
movement which proceeds from It and
It must be confessed there are many such
Is plainly behind the times; and It Is not
for his profit that new fields are opening;
it is not to hl3 advantage hat Oregon
Is winning pre-eminent reputation for her
products In markets- so widely separated
as China, Australia, Alaska,' Central
America, England, France and Germany,
not to mention the markets of our own
country.
Among "many other Interesting sugges
tions Is one which grows out of the new
and urgent demands, made upon the state
college of agriculture at Corvallls, and
the experiment station affiliated with it.
Time was, and it is not very long past,
when the so-called Agricultural College
was a mere country academy, with little
more relation to the agricultural life
of -the state than any other one of many
local schools, but under the newer con
ditions we find the Corvallls establishment
grown into an Institution of high consid
eration, pursuing Its course upon original
and practical lines, and under steady and
Intelligent pressure of demands from the
farmers of the state. In the meetings of
this week the Agricultural College has
been represented by two or more members
of its faculty, and if they shall heed,
half the demands for future work, urged
upon them, the experimental department
will have its work cut out for long months
ahead. The suggestiveness of all this
