FURNISH CONGRATULATED
X.ETTTERS AXD TELEGRAMS POUR
ING IN ON THE NOMINEE,
Governor Gcer Wishes Him. Snccesi
3Icsaag;es From Senator Mitch
ell and Others.
PENDLETON, April 6. Telegrams and
letters of congratulation, are pouring In
upon "W. J. Furnish, particularly from
Eastern Oregon, almost every town and
hamlet giving evidence that his nomina
tion has aroused the greatest enthusiasm
In that part of the ptate. with which he
has been more particularly identified and
where he Is personally well known.
From Governor Geer he received the
following:
'tSalem, April A. My Dear Sir: You
will please accept my congratulations
upon your nomination for the office of
Governor of Oregon. I trust you may
be triumphantly elected and that your
administration may contribute to the wel
fare of all the good people of Oregon and,
therefore, to your own personal credit.
Very respectfully your. T. T. GEER."
Mr. Furnlsh's answer was:
"Pendleton, April 6. Hon T. T. Geer,
Salem, Or.: My Dear Governor I thank
you for your cbngratulatlons of April 4
and I trust that my election, to which I
confidently look forward, and the ad
ministration Incident thereto, may be
fruitful of good to all the people of our
great state, of which we are alike proud.
"With the highest personal regards, I am
sincerely yours. "W. J. FURNISH."
Senator John H. Mitchell telegraphed
from Washington:
"Hon. W. J. Furnish: Accept my sin
cere congratulations. I am delighted be
yond expression. It goes without 6aying
you will be the next Governor of Ore
gon." H. "W. Corbett, after warm congratula
tions, said:
"I am satisfied that you will give us
an excellent business administration. You
have always given to whatever you have
undertaken your undivided and best ef
forts, and my anticipations of what we
may expect of you are based upon my
knowledge of your ability. Our business
relations, covering a long period, warrant
me in giving you my hearty congratula
tions." Malcolm A. Moody sent congratulations
and warm wishes for success. Thomas H.
Tongue. Blnger Herman. Judge R. S.
Bean, Judge Frank A. Mocre. Judge C.
E. Wolverton, C. S. Moore and scores
of others, representative not only of the
political element but of every business
Interest In Oregon, sent congratulations.
It appears to be the expectation every
where that Mr. Furnish will give to the
business affairs of Oregon that kind of at
tention which the expanding Interests of
the state require at this time.
The local enthusiasm surpasses anything
that Umatilla County has ever before
witnessed. Pendleton is still In gala at
tire and if the number of Furnish but
tons worn by men of all parties and
factions on the streets of Pendleton In
dicate anything it may be taken for
granted that in his home county Mr. Fur
nish will even sift-pass, in the coming elec
tion, the record of his former success.
AN INCORRECT STATEMENT.
No DltiHatisfactlon Over Election of
Chairman Perclval, Pollc County.
DALLAS, Or., April 6. The statement
of the Dallas correspondent in The Sun
day Oregonlan that there is considerable
dissatisfaction over the election of W. W.
Perclval to the chairmanship of the Polk
County Republican Central Committee has
created muoh indignation among Repub
licans In this part of the county. Even
Democrats express surprise at the uncalled-for
assertion. The item is abso
lutely unwarranted by the facts. Mr.
Perclval was chosen state committeeman
without opposition at the recent conven
tion in Portland and was the unanimous
choice for chairman of the County Central
Committee at the meeting held here yes
terday. He Is an active and capable Re
publican and the action of the commit
tee in selecting him as county chairman is
heartily indorsed. The only complaint
heard so far is in the Dalles item In to
day's Oregonlan.
The list of delegates from Polk County
to the Democratic State Convention, as
printed in today's Oregonlan, Is incorrect.
The delegates are: N. L. Butler, of Mon
mouth; Oscar Hayter, of Dallas; D. W.
Sears, of Independence: Frank Fawk, of
Rickreall; I. M. Simpson, of Luckiamute;
Noah Gregg, of Jackson: Charles F. Belt,
of Dallas, and J. D. Kelty, of McCoy.

CANDIDATES "WERE FEW.
Tillamook Democrats Had Difficulty
In Filling; Their Ticlcet.
TILLAMOOK, Or., April 5. The Demo
cratic county convention was well attend
ed, and was a representative gathering,
although aspirants for office were few.
Ex-County Judge W. W. Conder was the
unanimous choice of the convention for
County Judge, and he received quite an
ovation when he was declared the nomi
nee, as did also J. D. Edwards for Sher
iff, while the convention had some trou
ble In getting men to stand for the other
offices. The convention finally decided
upon E. Jenkins for County Clerk. Rich
ard Allen for Commissioner, P. W. Todd
for Treasurer, 'John1 Sheets for Assessor
and L. L, Smlfii f6r Surveyor. The con
vention favored the abolishment of the
law creating the office of Road Master,
and favored the improvement of the pub
lic roads and bridges of the county In pro
portion to the amount of tax received
under the law from the property In the
district. It also favored the election of
United States Senator by the people, the
Initiative and referendum, the improve
ment of our harbors and rivers by Con
gress, and the platform to be adopted by
the state convention. For Joint Repre
sentative for Tillamook and Yamhill Coun
ties, the convention indorsed Charles V.
Galloway, of McMInnville.
Two Tickets at "Woodburn.
WOODBURN, Or., April -Considerable
interest is manifested In the annual elec
tion to be held here tomorrow. A com
mittee of three citizens was appointed by
the temperance people to select a slate
for city officers. Tho following Good Citi
zens' ticket was the result:
Mayor, S. Tomllnson (renominated);
Councllmen, A. S. Auterson and J. J. Hall;
Recorder. H. Overton; Treasurer. James
A. Austin; Marshal, Eugene Moshberger.
The Independents, who objected to the.
manner of the selection of the nominees
of the temperance people, placed a city
ticket In the field as follows:
Mayor, Lieutenant O. D. Henderson, of
the Second Oregon; Councllmen, William
Loverldge and Frank W. Settlemier; Re
corder. C. F. Whitman; Treasurer, Oscar
A. Nendel; Marshal, Amos Beach.
Very little effort has been made by the
advocates of license to carry the elec
tion and defeat is probable.
EQUIPPING THE BUCKEYE.
Plant to Be Erected on the Prop
erty for Treating the Ores.
BAKER CITY. April 6. M. C. Kestor,
manager of the Buckeye mine, states that
the recent experiments made with the
ores from this property has proved that
they n be treated successfully. A roast
ing and leeching plant, capable of treat
ing 100 tons of ore per day, will be erected
this season. A representative of the com
pany is now at Great Falls, Mont., looking
up some of the minor details of the
process to be employed.
The Buckeye is one of the rich mines in
this part of the state, but the. ore is re
fractory and hard to treat, so that all the
values which it contains can be saved.
The company Is at present expending a
large sum of money In the way of new
machinery and improvements that will,
when finished, place the Buckeye In the
front ranks of well-equipped mines of
Eastern Oregon.

a. resident of the tenderloin district of this
city, was almost burned to death by the
explosion of a lamp last night about 9:30.

Virtue Mine Will Start Up.
BAKER CITY, Or., April 6. The Flag
staff mine, In the Virtue district, will re
sume operations with a full force of men
Monday. This mine 'was opened up last
Fall, a new mill was built and repairs
were made costing a great deal of money,
but for some reason It was not a success,
or, rather, the means originally provided
by the new corporation were not sufficient
to carry on the work of development to
the point where success would be as
sured. Operations did not cease entirely, but
the mill and leeching plant were never
given a fair test, owing to the lack of
funds. The secret of the partial suspen
sion of operations was that the cost of the
improvements and the development work
necessary was considerably more than had
been anticipated, the result being that the
funds provided were exhausted before tne
preparatory work was completed. Money
has been provided for paying all back
accounts for wages and supplies, and to
carry on the work according to the orig
inal plans.
Looks Like Incendiarism.
SALEM, Or., April 6. The circumstances
surrounding the burning of the residence
of Irvine Bunce, at an early hour this
morning, point strongly toward an Incen
diary origin. The house had not been oc
cupied for three days, during which time
there had been no fire In the stoves. Tho
fire was discovered about "2:30 A, M. by
persons residing near. As the Bunce
house was one of several built close to
gether in a row, it was only by the he
roic efforts of the neighbors and the
prompt response of the fire department
that the destruction of other houses was
prevented. Those Interested are investi
gating, the matter and will endeavor to
discover who is responsible for the Arc
Heavy Damages Avrnrded.

A RAILROAD TO COPPER
NEW PROJECT LAUNCHED IN
SOUTHERN OREGON.
May Go Through From Grant's Pass
Or., to Crescent City, on North,
California Coast.
GRANT'S PASS, Or., April 6. A new
railroad Is to be built in Southern Oregon
between Grant's Pass and Crescent City,
and Is to be known as the Oregon & Pa
cific Railway. It Is to be of standard
gauge. The Oregon & Pacific Railway
Company Is composed nractlcally of the
same people as the Waldo Smelting &
Mining Company, though an entirely dif
ferent corporation. Colonel B. Wain Mor
gan Draper, manager of the Waldo Smelt
ing & Mining Company, and chief engineer
of the new project, arrived yesterday from
San Francisco, and said to an Oregonlan
correspondent thyit a crew of surveyors
would be put to work surveying a route
for the new road next week.
The prime object Is to provide an out

Government Barged Under Construction at Supplc'a.
The month of April opens with both tho East Side shipyards full of crafts of various descriptions under construction
and nearinc completion. The outlook for a busy year In boat -building is said to be encouraging. In the Johnston yard.
East Water street, the big lumber-carrier for tho "Wheeler Lumber Company, of Tillamook, is being built. It Is the largest
and most substantial ship of the character that has been built In Portland since the stone-carrier barges of Hale & Kern
were launched. It la a lumber schooner, and built for heavy service and for carrying big loads. It will carry D00.000 feet
and upwards of lumber. The dimensions are as follows: Length, 150 feet; width, 34 feet, and depth of hold, 12 feet. It will
be of extraordinary strength, the walls alone being over three feet thick. Through the center lengthways a solid timber wall
has been built to give rigidity. Good progress has been made on this schooner the past few weeks. It Is considered probablo
that other schooners of the same kind may be built for the coast lumber trade this year.
In this yard the old steamer. Governor Newell, well known on the "Willamette Itlver, Captain Hill, owner. Is being
repaired in the form practically of a new boat. That Is what will bo the result when the craft under construction in tho
Johnston yard Is finished. A complete new hull was first built. Most of the exposed timbers were treated with' wood pre
servative. The cabin and machinery of the Governor Newell were lifted oft tho old hull and placed on the new, and the craft
Is now being completed. It will soon be ready for launching, when the craft will be rechrlstened Governor Newell.
T. M. "Warren Is having a new little propeller tender. 50 feet long, built In the Johnston yard. It has natural oak bents.
It Is for Mr. Warren's cannery down the river. A shed over the craft enables work to go forward without Interruption from
bad weather.
In the Supple boatyard. East Water and East Morrison streets, the two Government barges are practically completed
and ready for launching. They will finish a $19,000 contract for the building of four barges.
In this yard 20 pontoons for the Port of Portland are rapidly being turned o ut. These pontoons are 20x10, painted red.
As fast as completed they are launched, and in the water fronting the yard there Is quite a cluster of the pontoons gathered.
The Elkadcr, the torpedo-shaped craft for R. D. Inman. Is being finished. Tho machinery and screw have been placed,
the painters have given her an eggshell polish., and the natural wood inside the cabins Is receiving a hard-oil finish of great
beauty. As soon as the cabins have been upholstered the craft will be finished. She has been provided with compound en
gines, which will drive the screw at the rate of COO revolutions per minute, wh Ich Is fast enough to send tho Bharp-polnted
hull spinning through the water. Across the East Water street elevated roadway, between Belmont and East Tamhlll streets,
the frame of the Alaska shallow water craft Is rapidly growing. Sir. Supple has undertaken to duplicate the City of Chester,
only on a largo scale. The Chester Is noted as being the lightest craft in this country. The Alaska boat Is 120 feet long.
It will have a flat bottom. Hundreds of natural light crooks are being put Into the frame of the hull to give it as much
stiffness as possible. The craft will be completed and the parts knocked down for shipment to the Yukon. River. The
boat Is designed to run up and explore the shallow tributaries of that river.
Great quantities of ship timbers are gotten and shipped from these yards t o California. On East Water street are some
of the finest natural oak crooks that can be found in any state In the Union. At Supple's yard there were just received two
oak timbers about 20x20, perfect in even" respect. They came from Washington County. Natural ship crooks, of which car
loads are constantly being sent to California, come mainly from the vicinity o f Mount Scott, where & man baa mada a
business of sawing them out for a great many years.
let for the product of the Waldo copper
mines, though It only remains with the
people of Grant's Pass to say whether tho
road will run to Crescent City or not. It
goes without saying that the people of
this section will heartily Indorse euch an
enterprise and lend their utmost support
toward the completion of the railway.
"We must have an outlet for the prod
uct of our mines," Colonel Draper said.
"We have concluded that there is plenty
of copper In our properties, and all that
Is necessary Is to build a railroad con
necting them with main lines of trans
portation. I would much prefer building
the road through from Grant's Pass to
Crescent City, connecting this section of
the state with the Pacific, and If the peo
ple of Josephine County show the right
disposition towards it the road will be so
built."
Colonel Draper also stated that he firmly
believed that such a railroad would fix
the status of Grant's Pass for all time,
as this road would eventually connect
with some road from Idaho, thus making
Grant's Pass the center of a large part
of three states. The road will at least
make an outlet and a direct market for
the products of the mines, farms and for
ests of the Illinois Valley and surround
ing mountains.
Colonel Draper Is consulting engineer for
the California & Nprthern Railway, which
Is building northward from Eureka to
Crescent City; so the new Oregon & Pa
cific will 'practically be an extension of
that road. With the building of the new
railroad, the great copper mines of Waldo,
which are the richest and most extensive
known, will be opened to the world. Their
only drawback In the past has been their
remoteness from a railroad.
"UXJUST DISCRI3IIXATION.
Coast Lumber Placed at a Disad
vantage in the East.
TACOXIA, April 6. Lumber organiza
tions of this state have received informa
tion from Minneapolis and Chicago that
April 15 scales on lumber from the Minne
sota Transfer to Chicago and Inter
mediate points will be 5 cents lower fcrthe
output of Minnesota and Wisconsin mills
than for the Coast product. They declare
that such discrimination will shut Pacific
Coast lumber and shingles out of a great
number of towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and other Eastern states. They
have accordingly protested to the rail
roads, and an appeal on the subject was
mailed three days ago to Chair
man Knapp of the Interstate Com

Tho appeal for interference by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Is made officially by the Washington Red
Cedar Shingle Manufacturers' Association
and Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers'
Association. If necessary, the lumber In
terests will try a est case before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

THE IRRIGATION OUTLOOK
JUST "WHAT PRESIDENT ROOSE
VELT IS TRYING TO SECURE'.
He Wants the Rights of Settlers Pro
tected and the Control of Wa
ter Vested at Washington.
WASHINGTON. April 6. President
Roosevelt has at last reached the quea
tlon of legislation for National irrigation,
and, with his customary vigor and frank
ness, he has spoken without reserve to
many memers of Congress as to the char
acter of the law he would like to see en
acted at this session of Congress. It will
surprlsje few people who have kept In
close touch with the situation to learn
that the measure which would be ap
proved by President Roosevelt Is not sat
isfactorily expressed In the bill which
passed the Senate March 1. The changes
which are necessary to mako this bill con
form to the ideas of President Roosevelt
and others of single purpose in their ad
vocacy of National irrigation are not
cumbersome, but they are momentous in
their effect upon the real meaning of the
measure.
The entire and only meaning of the
changes proposed Is to mako this meas
ure, which inaugurates a continuing ap
propriation of 53,000,000 a year, a home
making law, and .not a law for the benefit
of land or water speculators. This will
be seen by a brief reference to their char
acter. In sections 3 and 4 of the Senate
bill It is provided that the Secretary of
the Interior upon determining that any ir
rigation project is practicable shall five
public notice of the land Irrigable under
such project, and thereafter tho lands
proposed to be irrigated shall be subject
to entry only under the homestead act.
Until that time it is all open to specula
tive entry with scrip or .under the desert
land act.
To Protect the Settlers.
The looseness of this section would al
low all of the land to be Irrigated from a
Government storage reservoir or canal to
be absorbed by speculators long before
the Secretary of the Interior was author
ized to reserve the same for homestead
settlement only. Those who favor the res
ervation of these lands for homebullders
In the strictest sense of tho word ask
that section 3 shall be changed so as to
provide that the Secretary of the Interior
shall withdraw from public entry any
lands which, in his Judgment, aro likely
to be required for any irrigation works un
der the provisions of the act and shall re
store to public entry any of the lands so
withdrawn, when. In his Judgment, such
lands aro not required for the purposes
of irrigation; and also to provide that
the Secretary be directed and authorized
at or immediately prior to the time of
beginning the surveys for any contem
plated irrigation works to withdraw from
entry except under tho homestead laws
any public landa believed to bo suscepti
ble of irrigation from tho proposed works,
provided, also, that all the land entered
under the homestead law within the area
so withdrawn during such -withdrawal
shall be subject to all tho provisions, lim
itations, charges, terms and conditions of
the irrigation law.
It Is also propdsed to change section 5
of the Senate bill, which treats of the
sale of water supply created by the Gov
ernment to private landowners. The Sen
ate bill says: "No right to the use of wa
ter for land In private ownership shall be
sold for a tract exceeding 1C0 acres to
any one landowner." Those who wish to
prevent the evasion of this provision and
the absorption of all the water rights by
one owner want this clause amended so
as to read: "No right to the use of water
for land In private ownership shall be
so'ld to any one but an actual bona fide
permanent resident on such land or for a
tract exceeding 160 acres to any such
landowner." f
The Management, Also.
Section 6 of the Senate bill, as It now
stands, provides that the title to the
reservoirs and the works necessary for
their protection shall remain In the Gov
ernment until otherwise provided by Con
gress. It Is proposed to amend this sec
tion so as to provide "that the title to
and thv management and operation of the
reservoirs and the works necessary for
their protection and operation shall re
main in the Government until otherwise
provided by Congress."
Having provided that .the land shall be
reserved for actual homebullders. that the
water once conserved by the Government
cannot be absorbed by speculators, it is
also proposed to change section 8 of the
bill, under which, as it now stands, the
United States Government could do noth
ing but spend the money and have no au
thority to see that the beneficent purpose
of the expenditure was carried Into ef
fect. Section S of the Senate bill, as It
now stands, reads as follows:
"That nothing In this act shall De con
strued as affecting, or Intended to affect,
or to In any way Interfere with the laws
of any state or territory relating to the
control, appropriation, use or distribu
tion of water used In irrigation, but" state
and territorial laws shall govern and con
trol In the appropriation, use and distribu
tion of the waters rendered available by
the works constructed under the provi
sions of this act; .provided that the right
to the use of water acquired under the
provisions of this act shall be appurte
nant to the land Irrigated, and beneficial
use shall be the basis, the measure and
the limit of the right."
Danger in Divided Jurisdiction.
Those who are opposed to any conflict
between the Government and the state In
the matter of National Irrigation enter
prises, among whom may be included
President Roosevelt, as he has so em
phatically stated, believe that section S
of the proposed Irrigation bill should read
as follows:
"That nothing in this act shall be con
strued as affecting or Intended to affect,
or to in any way interfere with, the laws
of any stato or territory relating to the
control, appropriation, use or distribution
of water used in Irrigation, or with any
vested right to water acquired thereun
der; provided that the right to the use of
water acquired under the provisions of
this act shall be appurtenant to the land
irrigated, and beneficial use shall be the
basis, tho measure and the limit of the
right."
. Under section 8, as tho Senate has
passed the bill, the National Government
could not undertake any Interstate enter
prises because the uppeT state could at
any time take all the water away from
tho lower state. Under the Senate bill,
tho upper stato would have supreme con
trol of the water and be under no obliga
tion to recognize any right of the lower
An "illustration of thl3 difficulty is the
propsed canal to take the water from the
Grand River for use In both Colorado and
Utah. Under this bill, with the amend-
.nn nntnne fhla nnl1 POUld be bUllt
by tho National Government, and lands in

"What Wyoming Could Do.
Another illustration Is the North Platte
River, rising in Wyoming and flowing
through Nebraska. About 4.000,000 acre
feet of water runs to wasto every year in
this river. If the United States decided
to build works for the conservation of
this water, the reservoirs to be located
In Wyoming and the water to be equitably

Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body
Stomach and brain affect each other. A sick stomach sours the disposition
and prevents sleep and brain rest, and a sick brain sours the stomach and clogs
the bowels. Men of sedentary habits, brain workers who don't get much
xercise, have sick stomachs and bowels, and wear out their brains and nerves.

A man who keeps his bowels regular with Cascarets Candy Cathartic, that i3
without strain or violence, can keep strong and healthy without much exercise.
A famous professor in Jefferson Medical College used to advise bis students:
"Trust in God and keep your bowels open!" That's God's own wisdom, for
when the bowels are regular and tho digestion strong and healthy, then the sys-,
tern is safe and the brain and nerves will have inexhaustible elasticity and life. J

The fundamental principles governing
these proposed amendments to the Senate
Irrigation bill are so unquestionably cor
rect in both their legal and moral bearings
upon the development of the West that
the sincerity of those who propose to de
feat any bill containing them may be
openly questioned. Conflict with stato
law is absolutely prohibited in the pro
posed amended bill, and, on the other
hand, abuse of state authority is guarded
against.
No safeguard which can be thrown
about the acquisition of the land or the
water by settlers can be seriously object
ed to. Those who honestly favor the bona
fide settlement of the Western States by
homeseekers will draw the lino at nothing-
which Increases the permanence and den
sity of such settlement or places addition
