THE MOKS1SO (XKEGONIAN- THUHSDAT. 3IAY 22, 1UU2. CAMPAIGN LIE EXPLODED "WILLIAMSON DID NOT OPPOSE ESI PLOYERS' LIABILITY BILL. Measure Warn Proposed and Defeated in the House, and Therefore Sever Reached the Senate. PENDLETON, Or,, May 20. J. N. "Will iamson, Republican candidate for Con gress In the, Second district, accompanied by ex-Judge' J. C. Moreland, of Portland, arrived here this morning from a cam paign tour of Morrow, Grant, Harney, Malheur and Baker Counties. The atten tion of Senator Williamson was called to the fact that an effort was being made throughout Eastern Oregon to turn the railroad vote against him on the cnarge that -while in the State Senate two years ago he had made a. speech in that body against a proposed act known generally as the "Employers' liability bill." Judge Moreland, who was present, and had copies of the journals of the House and Senato of two years ago, with him, prepared the following statement of the facts from the record: "The statement has been made and is "being circulated all along the lines of railroads in the Second Congressional dis trict, that Senator Williamson, now a can didate for Congress upon the Republican ticket, and a member of the Senate in the last legislature, spoke and voted acalnst a bill in the last session of the Oregon legislature, relating to the liability of the principal for the negligence of fellow-servants. I have not seen this statement In print, but have heard of its being circu lated in various places. The facts of the matter, concerning 6ald bill are as follows, and they show conclusively' that Senator "Williamson had not, and could not, have had anything whatever to do with it: "Page 77 of House Journal of the session of legislature for 1903 has thlst 'First reading of the bill by Mr. Pporman, House BUI No. 0 A bill for an act fixing the liabilities of corporations, owning and op erating railroads within the state for in juries to employes, and for the protection of railroad employes in general. Mr. Rob erts moved that the rules be suspended and House bill No. 80 read the first time by title. On this question, the roll was called and 67 voted in the affirmative; none against; absent, three.' "On page 215 of the same Journal is this: House Bill No. SO coming on for the sec ond reading, Mr. Smith of Marion moved that the rules be suspended and the bill read the second time by title only. On th.Is question, 55 voted yea; none nay; ab sent, five. So the rules were suspended and House bill No. SO read the second time by title only. On motion of Mr. Poorman, the bill was referred to the committee on railways and transportation.' "On page 543, is this entry: 'Mr. Story moved that the railroad bills (Including SO) read to the Houeo today, be made a special order for "Wednesday evening next at 7 o'clock. Mr. Barrett moved to amend making the hour for special order at 8:30 o'clock P. M. Monday next; amendment carried, and motion as amended prevailed "On pages 543 and 547 of the Journal appears two reports of the committee on railways and transportation. The major ity report, signed by George L. Story, chairman, recommended that the bill do not pass; a minority report, signed by F. A. Heltkemper, of the committee, recom mended that the bill pass, with certain amendments, which are set forth in said report. On motion of Mr. Heltkemper, the report and amendments were adopted. "On page 5S3. we find that the bill was considered in committee of the whole, and the chairman reported that the committee had reached no conclusion as to the bill. "On page 603, we find this: 'Mr. Story moved that House hill No. SO be referred to the committee on railways and trans portation for amendment; motion carried.' "On page 612, we find that the committee on rallwaye and transportation reported the bfll back to the House, with the rec ommendation that It pass, -writh a certain amendment therein stated, and on motion of Mr. Story, the report and amendment were adopted, and on motion of Mr. Poor man, House bill No. SO was made a special order for the next day at 10 o'clock A. M ; and on the nex't day, which was Feb ruary 13. 1P01, we find this on page 644 or the Houre journal: "House bill No. SO read the third time, the "question being, "ShaM the bill pass?" The roll was called and the vot was: yens, 22; nays, 31; not voting, 1; absent. 6.' so the bill failed to pas 'From this It will be seen that the bill rever came up for consideration In the Senate, and neither Mr. "Williamson, nor any other Senator had any opportunity to vote or express themselves in regard to this bill. On the contrary, it Is a well known fact that Senator "Williamson, in private, during the session of the legislature- expressed himself In- favor of the principles of the bill." After Judge Moreland had given the foregoing statement, it was submitted to Senator "Williamson, -who stated to the oorrrfpondent that the facts set forth by Judge Moreland were absolutely true; that Senator Fulton, in a speech at" The Dalles had declared .himself and Senator Will iamson in favor of the principles of the hill, and that both Fulton and Williamson wou!d have voted for it had It reached consideration in the Senate. Senator Williamson added further that he had traced this malicious campaign slander to Its source, and regretted to find that it originated at The Dalles. DOLLXVER vCANNOT COME. Public Business Detains the Senator, but He Expects an Oregon Victory. WASHINGTON, May 17. Although re peated efforts have been made to induce Senator Dolllver to participate in the Ore gon campaign, they have been unavail ing, as the Iowa statesman feels, as do his colleagues, that at this critical time, with such important legislation pending, he cannot leave Washington. The Sena tor, however, was free to express an opin ion as to the result which should be brought about In Oregon early In June. When seen by The Oregonlan correspond ent, he said: "I wish very much that I could accept an invitation which I have had to go to Oregon for a couple of weeks during your campaign there. 1 look upon the election which Is to be held as very important, not only to the Republican party, but to J he general prosperity of the country. )regon has always ben a sort tf guide post indicating the direction of events. I have no doubt that the people of the Pacific Coast are alert upon the questions that are involved. In common with the people everywhere, they have enjoyed an unrivaled prosperity In all their business affairs. No such industrial and commer cial conditions have ever been known in any age of the world as now exist in the United States. Labor Is everywhere em ployed at the highest wages ever paid, and business is moving forward without interruption and without any fear of pan ic or disturbance. It would be a calamity hardly conceivable to have this state of things Interrupted "by adverso election re turns from this pbrtlon of the country which has most of all enjoyed this unex ampled state of prosperity. It would be very easy for the people of Oregon at the coming election to turn this tide of in dustrial prosperity in the wrong direc tion. - "The state of Oregon is singularly for tunate in its representation at Washing ton. Everybody was disheartened when Senator Mitchell dropped out of the Sen ate, and upon his return to his old seat he was received with the heartiness and welcome which come to but few men In our political service. His long experience and faithful devotion, not only to the in terests of Oregon, but to the general in terests of the country, have made him an Invaluable leader In the councils of his party. I wish he could be out there to take part in the campaign, but the condi tion of business here makes It entirely Impossible for anybody connected with either House to be absent for such a length af time. ' "I hope that Representative Tongue will have the biggest majority he ever had. He was a strong nan wnen he first came to the House of Representatives, and his long service has slvcn h'm such a familiar ity with his public duties as to very great ly Increase his usefulness. The House of Representatives is a peculiar place. No amount of ability does a man any good in Its deliberations unless he has the expe rience and the recognition which come from a long term of service. The state has been wise In keeping Mr. Tongue at his post. That gives him his place on committees, and for practical purposes, his right to participate in the proceedings of the House. Mr. Tongue was recognized when he first came hre as a safe counsel lor and a man of prudence and wisdom. Every year has added to his Influence, and today he stands among the recognized leaders in the House of Representatives. I have no doubt he will be re-elected hand somely, for the state cannot afford to lose the advantages which his services have already given it. "We will all await the elections of June 2 with anxiety," said Mr. Dolllver in con clusion, "but with confidence that the people of the Pacific Coast will not be the first to turn their back upon the prin ciples which have resulted In the present fortunate industrial and commercial conditions." REGISTRATION IX CLACKAMAS. , The 4000 Mark Has Been Passed Preparation of Ballots. OREGON CITY, May 21. The total reg istration In Clackamas County has so far exceeded expectations that it has passed the 4000 mark. Over 100 came 1n from country precincts today and while the affidavits have not yet been booked, the registration will undoubtedly reach 4400. Two years ago the total registration was about 4300. County Clerk Cooper today completed the preparation of the official ballot and it will be placed in the hands of the printer in a few days. There are four complete tickets In Clackamas County this year and the ballot for Oregon City will contain nearly 90 names. In "one pre cinct.

Major "Von Eggloff steln and Captain Kemp were up from Portland and inspected the election. The Parkplace school district will com mence the construction of an addition to the school building, and the capacity of the building will be practically doubled. Two recitation rooms will be on the lower floor and the upper part of the addition will be used for assembly rooms until re quired for study and recitation rooms. The district recently voted ?1500 to de fray the expense of constructing the ad dition, but this amount will not cover the cost. CHEERS FOR FURNISH. Josephine Promises n. Great Victory lor the Republican Leader. GRANTS PASS, May 21 The Josephine County Republican candidates and lead ers began their county campaign last night, the first rally being held at Will iams. All of the county candidates were present. Judge Hale, rfbmlnee for repre sentative, made the principal address. The hall in which the meeting was held was packed to the doors, and many were not able to obtain admittance. Enthusiasm reigned supreme. Furnish buttons wero greatly in evidence, and loud cheers for the Republican state leader wero given at the close of the meeting. A more suc cessful political rally has never been held In Williams' Valley. The campaign party left Williams for Murphy, and will proceed from there to Selma, Kerby, Waldo and make a com plete tour of the county. The final rally will be held In this city May 31, when some of the prominent Republican lead ers of the state will be present and assist. Republicanism seems promised a great vic tory in Josephine County this coming election. v Joint Meeting; at Cottage Grove. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., -May 2L The Republican and Democratic nominees for county and legislative offices held a Joint meeting here this afternoon. The attend ance uas not nearlv as lanre as was ex pected on an occasion of this kind, and was not as. demonstrative as was hoped that It would be. From indications, a goodRepubllcan majority will be given by this end of the county on June 2. The can didates have just returned from a trip to Florence, lorane and other precincts near the coast, where they have been holding joint meetings. GOES TO ASHLAND. Former Salem Pastor Accepts Call From Southern Oregon Churchl SALEM, Or., May 21 Rev. Ronald Mc Klllop, formerly pastor of the First Bap tist Church, of Salem, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church at Ashland, Mr. McKlllop and family will go to Ashland Thursday, and he will begin his pastoral duties next Sunday.

Manning Is a retired capitalist and was formerly en gaged In business at Canyonville. The four-year term of Edward Hlrsch, the incumbent, expires August 15 next, and Mr. Hlrsch is asking for reappointment.

The first annual election for a Director of the Salem pub lic schools, under the provisions of the now school law, will be held on Mondav, June 16. The retiring member, H. A. Johnson, who Is chairman of the board, has served the Salem schools on the Board of Directors for more than eight years and has declined to be a candidate to succeed himself. M. 1. Chamberlin succeeds to the chairmanship of the board upon the retirement of Mr. John son, since he is the oldest member of the board In point of service. Uttle Interest is being manifested In the coming election. J. B. T. Tuthlll and Max O. Buren have been mentioned as suitable successors to Mr. Johnson, but no candidates have been named. There is no controversy or issue involved in the coming election, which will very probably be a tame affair, since any dissatisfaction that may have existed has been harmon ized in the recent election of Professor It. R. Traver, of Roseburg, aa City Super intendent of Schools. The Salem School Board has ordered the taking of the annual school census of the district and this task will soon be undertaken. IN FACE OF A PROTEST PATENT GRANTED TO A CLAI3IANT BY GENERAL LAND OFFICE. Case Involves Lien Land Selections Made by the Northern Pacific Said to Be Rich in Gold. OREGON CITY. May 21 For the first time in the history of the Oregon City land office, a patent has been Jssued to a claimant from the General land Office in the face of a protest. The case In point involves lieu land selections of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, in township ;elght south, range four east, on Ogle Creek, near the headwaters of th Molalla River, and important contests ore now pending in tne united States land Office to determine the character of the land, which developments have proved to be valuable for their mineral. The Northorn Pacific Railroad Com pany, on November 7, 1S99, selected all of Section 9 and the west half of Section 10, in township eight south, in range A PIONEER'S NINETIETH BIRTHDAY mS vC-SbsKbsbbMbssssH Ira F. M. Butler. mute. In this county, and has resided here continuously for 49 years. While living In Illinois he was appointed Clerk of the Circuit Court by Judge Stephen A. Douglas, which position he held for seven years. He was also Sheriff for one term, and Deputy Sheriff for one term. In Oregon he has served four years as County Judge, and has been a member of the Legislature, three terms, and was Speaker of the House in 185S. A public reception, in -which all the citizens joined, was held from 2 to 5 and from 7 to 9 o'clock yesterday In honor of the pioneer. Mr. Butler's faculties are remarkably clear, and he is to be seen each day walking some three-quarters of a mile for hit mall. He was among tho first to contribute funds and moral support to the founding of Christian College, and be has always been strictly devoted to the betterment of the conditions of the common people. He is in good health, and bids fain, to lire many years. four east, with a' large amount of other lands, under act of March 2, 1899, creat ing Mount Rainier Park, in the Pacific "Forest Reserve, and was In lieu of lands lost by the Northern Pacific from its grant in Mount Rainier Park. In the year 1692, Henry and Wales Rus sel located mining claims In Section 9, and on July 8, 1901, an uncorroborated protest was filed by Henry Russel against the Issuance of patents to the Northern Pacific to a part of Section $, on the ground that the land was mineral lit character, his mining claim blng located on the part of Section 9 to which he asked that a patent bo denied to tho Northern Pacific On August 8. 1S01, James Adklns, president of the Clacka mas Gold Mining Company, filed an un corroborated contest affidavit against tho issuance of patents to the Northern Pa cific for any part of Section 9, for tho reason that the whole of the section was more valuable for mineral than for agri cultural purposes, and for, the additional reason that the Clackamas Gold Mining Company had four mining claims in that section. On October 22, 1901. Henry and Wales Russel filed corroborated affidavits, through Attorney John W. Draper, pro testing against patenting any or all of Section 9 to the Northern Pacific, for tho reason that the land was more valuable for gold and other precious metals than for any and all other purposes. In the affidavit o? the contestants they stated that they had located about March 5, 1892, a quartz vein near the middle of Section 9, and that they had opened ono tunnel CO feet deep, exposing a ledge of ore bear ing silver, gold and copper, assaying on an average -of $50 to tho ton. Henry Russel says that he made a location as early as 1S93 on this section, and had made valuable Improvements, and had also'per formed the assessment work required by law every year since his location. Eight day3 after the corroborated protests of the Russels were filed, Calvin KIser ap peared at the land office and filed a pro test against the issuance of a patent to the west half of Section 10, alleging the ownership of a mining claim on the tract, which he had discovered and located June 17, 1895. and upon which he placed im provements valued at over ?2000, including a ditch over two miles long for -carrying water to his mine, and a hydraulic ram, which wa3 being used to operate a giant. He also has a quartz ledge in the same section, which assays on tho average ?268 In gold, besides silver and lead in largo quantities. The last protest of Henry and Wales Russel was transmitted to the Commis sioner of the General land Office on Oc tober 23, 1901, and Commissioner Hermann ordered a hearing of the protest before the local land office for the purpose of determining the mineral character of the land, as far as the interests of the Rus sels were concerned. The protest of Kiser was transmitted on November 5, 1901, but a patent was issued to the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company January 29, 1902, more than two and one-half months after Kiser's protest was received in Wash ington. The hearing of the protest of Henry and Wales Russel was set today in the local land office for September 11 RURAL M Alp ROUTES. Four Lending- Froni Grcshnm "Will Cover Territory of 40 Square Miles. GRESHAM, May 21 The new rural free delivery mall routes to be established from Troutdale and Cleone have both been ap proved by the special agent and will be In operation within a few weeks. They will Join the' two routes from this place, and will practically cover all the territory from the nine-mile posts eastward to Ori ent, lying In Multnomah County. Tho four routes will comprise about 40 square miles, but there still remain several Iso lated sections oiear and in Clackamas County; also further eastward and west ward, which can be served by carrier, and there is now a movement xn foot to reor ganize the routes from this office and es tablish twd1 more routes. When this is done, 'there will be free delivery from near Russellvllle to Pleasant Home. A recent ruling of the Fcetofflce Depart ment provides for the discontinuance of all postofflces lying on. rural routes which have no delivery service of their own.. This order will affect Rockwood, Terry and Powell "Valley offices, and pbsslbly Orient, In the event of two more routes being established from here. Up to this time it has been the policy of the Depart ment to allow such offices to die a natural death, and two near here have already fcuccumbed Sycamore and Sweetbrief. With free delivery, such offices are not needed, and the cost of their maintenance will help materially to put the rural routes on a paying basis. Considerable of the delay in organizing a rural route Is caused by the. Rejection of mail boxes, as no one connected with the service Is allowed to make recommenda tions, and there are 14 makes to choose from. The patrons must get together and mal-e thejr choice, which always causes several weeks'- loss of time. Another cause of delay Is the failure of the factory to fill orders promptly, as thero are so many new routes being established that they are all behind with their shipments. CALLS WANN TO TIME.'

Is it not also a fact tha) the remaining 120 books were not adopted by tho Textbook Commission, but were merely suggested by It as suitable sup plementary reading, and without tho least in tention that pupils should purchase any one of them, but that, if tho district board desired to purchase a-library with school funds, it might have a suitable list from which to select?

LACHMAN RESIGNS VAGATES CHAIR OP CHEMISTRY IX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Gives No Reason for Hltf Action Re ported That He IsDiMatIed "With Laclc of Harmony. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, May 21 Dr. Arthur lachman, who has Just re signed the chair of chemistry In the Uni versity of Oregon, -was born In Sair Fran cisco in 1873. He graduated from the High School In that city in 1890. but spent two years of his school period In a German gymnasium. He -attended the College of Chemistry In the University of Califor nia, and graduated from It In 1893, having completed the four years' course In three years. In tho further pursuit of his stud ies he spent two years at the University of Munich, in Gertnnny, and in 1S95 ob tained tho degree of Doctor of Philosophy summa cum laude. Returning to Amer ica, he spent half a year Iu graduate work at Harvard University. Dr. lachman was called to the Univer sity of Michigan as assistant In cheinlstry In the Spring of 1SS6. In the Summer of that year ho was promoted to tha posi tion of Instructor there. The following year (1897) he was'appolnted to the chair of chemistry In the University of Oregon, which he has occunled continuously until now. Two ycare ago he was' made dean, of the College' of Science and Engineering. Since his arrival here the department of chemistry has steadily grown urttll it is now one of the beet to be found in the West. At the end of his first year the old laboratory at the top of Deady Hall was completely remodeled" and modernized. But hls soon proved Inadequate to the growing- needs of the department, and last year ,the new laboratory building, called McCIure Hall, was occupied by It. The plans for the equipment of this laboratory were drawn up by Drr lachman, 'and the work of carpentering, cabinet-making and plumbing superintended by him In person. McCIuro Hall Is now iully equipped for the highest grade of university instruction In. chemistry. In spite of the demand upon his time for the work of instruction and admlnis- tratlon Dr. lachman has published a large amount of research work based upon results of experimental study. Besides his own Investigations, Dr. lach man baa stimulated his students to orig inal work, and a number of them are now pursuing Investigations under his direc tion in the laboratory. In addition to his technical papers ho also published an ad vanced text-book on organic chemistry, entitled 'The Spirit of Organic Chemis try," which was issued by the MacMH lans in 1S99. Dr. lachman ranks easily among the first men of the faculty, and his resigna tion ie a severe loss to the state univer sity. Among the students he 13 very popu lar, particularly with the young men pur suing advanced courses In chemistry and mining. Deep regrets from the students are heard on every hand, and those who feel deeply for the Interests of their alma mater realize what the University of Ore gon is losing in the resignation of Dr. lachman. Dr. lachman refuses to discuss the rea sons for his resignation from the field In which he has been so successful, but it Is rumored that he is dissatisfied with the lack of liarmony and co-operation between the faculty and the Board of Regents. FfSH WARDEN RETURNS. Considers Wilson River Better Than Trask for Snlmon Cultural Work. ASTORIA, Or., May 21 State Fish Warden Van Dusen has returned from a visit to points along the coast streams In search of sites for locating salmon hatch eries. In speaking of his trip today Mr. Van Dusen eald In part: - "The Tillamook district I visited In the Interest of the department, looking for a situation where salmon cultural work could be carried on. I examined both the Trask and tho Wilson Rivers, and from examinations made prefer the Wilson River to tho Trask, it being a trifle larger and from Information derived Is frequent ed more plentifully by the Chinook and steelhead varieties of salmon, though both are good streams. Either one affords ex cellent opportunities for our work at sev eral different locations. "This year arrangements will he made to work on the Wilson River and deter mine, if possible, how valuable a stream it Is. "Some few months ago the people of Medford petitioned the Board of Fish Commissioners, asking that they close the Rogue River to all salmon-fishng except ing with hook and line above Its conflu ence with the Illinois River. As the Grant's Pass district would be affected by this matter, I visited those sections In order to find out personally what the gen eral feeling was, so that the matter could be properly submitted to the board. The feeling was that the stream should be set aside as a trout stream, and nothing but a hook and line Bhould be permitted on Its upper waters." SCHEVIE'S FIRST STORY.

A-ffflOffi WRECK A Wisconsin Young- Man Cured of St. Vitus' Dance and Partial Paralysis. William J. Williams, of No. 550 Mil ford road, Watertown, Wla. was cured of St. Vitus' dance and partial paralysis by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People after eight different doctors and specialists had given him up as incurable. He said to a reporter: "I suffered about eight years with St. Vitus' dance and partial paralysis. My right Bide was entirely paralyzed. I could not walk without dragging that foot, and after going a short distance I was all tired out. After a while I lost the entire use of my right arm. I had no appetite, could not sleep well, and was not much good to myself or anybody else. I believe my condition was caused by overstudy and worry over a severe illness of my mother. For nearly four years I was under treatment by physicians and specialists, eight in all, but they did not help me, and final ly I was given up as Incurable. "Thinking the healthy air of the country in which I was born (Wales) would be of benefit to me, my mother took me there, but I did not seem to Improve. Finally, however, before we returned to this country, a friend rec ommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. My disease was stub born, but after I had taken this won derful remedy for six weeks I found I was getting better. I continued the use of the pills, and now am entirely well. I have recommended them to many peo ple, and cannot praise them too high ly."
