THE MOKNING OEEGONIAN- FRIDAY, MAY. 23, 1902.
HIS INITIAL SPEECH
Victor C. Doiliver Addresses
"Audience at Ashland.
MADE SOME TELLING POINTS
Thfci Brilliant Ioifa Orator Pleaded
for a Continuance of Republican
'Prosperity, and "Was Entliusi--
astically Applauded
ASHL.A.'ND. Or., May 21 Hon. Victor
33. Doiliver, the Hepubllcan orator from
Iowa, -who made his Initial speech In this
state Under the auspices of the Hepubllcan
State Committee of Oregon at Ashland to
night, more than sustained the reputation
that preceded him as a campaigner of
brilliancy and ability. President J. R.
Casey, of the Ashland Hepubllcan Club,
presided at the meeting, which "was held
at the Chautauqua Tabernacle, and which
"was attended by a large and appreciative
audience, and the Ashland male Quartet
lurnlshed a programme of vocal music to
enlh en the occasion. Ir. Doiliver spoke
for an hour, and so full of pertinent
points dressed in polished language and
expressed with all the arts of oratory
was his speech that his every sentence
was punctuatea i Ith applause, which grew
Into enthusiastic outbursts of approval by
the auuiejicp.
The speaker opened up with a discussion
of the importance of the stump, and the
stump speech, as a useful element in po
litical affairs, and spoke particularly 01
the bearing of the election In Oregon upon
the subsequent state and Congressional
elections in other portions of the country,
seeking: to impress upon the voters the
importance of returning to the National
Congress the Hepubllcan representatives
and electing an entire state ticket, in or
der that the policy of President Roosevelt
might thus receive an Indorsement and
the efficiency of the present Republican
Administration be approved. He expressed
himself as approving the larger policy of
keeping the campaign upon a high level
ol political discussion, and not reducing
Jt to a campaign of personality and abus
Iveness. The speaker made a plea, for continuing
fthe present splendid state of prosperity
existing throughout the Union, and es
pecially the Pacific Coast, sajlng: "It
would be less rational for the people of
Oregon to turn away from the present
Republican Administration and go into the
camp of Brjan and Carmack and Tillman
than It would be for a very sick man,
hopefully convalescing under the skill
and care of a great physician, to turn him
out of the house for the purpose of en
gaging the services of a neighborly talk
ative horse doctor."
In a somewhat detailed discussion of the
conditions that prevailed! before the first
election of President McKlnley, Mr. Doi
liver briefly pointed out the causes of the
janl- of 1883, which, he said, so far as it
arose from political conditions, dated from
the very day upon which it became certain
that every department of the Federal
Government had fallen into the hands of
the Democratic Party. He intimated very
strongly that any time the people of Ore-
)gon, or of the United States, desired a
t repetition of the conditions prevailing in
1S33, and up to 1S95, they micht secure it
by voting the Democratic ticket.
The speaker dwelt for some time upon
the improved agricultural conditions in
the Mississippi Valley, on the Western
coast, and throughout the Union, and at
tributed much of the revival in agricul
tural interest to the wise tariff legislation
of 1897. His discussion of the new Demo
cratic issues of imperialism and war in
the Philippines tyos somewhat detailed
and elaborate, and in the nature of a de
fenses and vindication of the policy of the
Administration ana the character of the
soldiers of the United States. He spoke
with great sarcasm of the modern, latter
day vlllflers and maligners of the Ameri
can soldier In the Philippines, and held up
in contrast to these men General Joe
VTheeler, whose career In the Spanish
American War challenged1 the admiration
of the whole world. As evidence of the
tompleto restoration of good feeling be
tween all sections of the United States,
lie cited General Wheeler's action in the
war as an illustration, saying: 'The splen
did figure of old General Joe. Wheeler,
too sick to sit upon his horse without as
sistance, holding the lines before Santiago,
gives to the National Army today a sam
ple of that soldierly daring which' made
the Confederate cavalry almost invincible
a generation ago, and stands for the larger
patriotism which turned its back upon the
past and lifted Its eyes to the sublime
destiny of a reunited country, standing
together once more under the flag of our
fathers, now forever one and inseparable."
He paid a graceful tribute to the Oregon
boys who so readily gave their names to
-the Axmy niany of whom died in the dis
chargekof theic duties. "Dying in camps,
as well as on the battle field," he said,
""they met the real enemy of levery army;
they and their comrades who ministered
unto them are sacred in the affections of
their fellow countrymen. They belong to
our Grand Army of he Republic, and
upon the returned and returning regiments
a grateful people bestows the benediction
of its: Jove."
He said the noting Republicans ot the
United States' ook no, stocky in the gloomy
forebodings of the co-called anil-imperialists.
The young Republicans of the United
States are believers in the Nation of
Americans. They back the great Reupblic
cgalnst the world. They love It6 history,
rejoice in Its prosperity, and look forward
to the fulfillment of Its mission -with en
thusiasm, and know all Its interests are
safe in the hands of the Republican party.
If the people of Oregon cannot use the
Republican party for the promotion of
every laudable reform, then the chances
of free popular government are small in
deed in a world like this.
"The history of the Republican party,"
lie said, "is a pledge to all the .future of
Its fidelity to every responsibility that
may be placed upon it; nor among its
great leaders, past or present, Is there one
who in a ready response to the call of
public duty outruns the loyal devotion of
the soldier without fear, the statesman
without reproach Tneodore Roosevelt, In
the providence of God, and by the favor
bf your suffrages. President of the United
States'

PRODUCTION OF NICKEL.
Places 'Where Deposits Are Fonnd
In This Country.
WASHINGTON, May 18. Mineral Re
sources of the United States, 1901. pub
lished by the United States Geological
Survey, and now In press, will contain,
Among other things, the report of Dr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt on nickel, for 190L
The two principal sources of nickel are
the nlckellferous pyrrhotlte, the most
widely spread of the nickel ores, and gen
thlte, especially the garnlerite variety.
In this country the domestic product of
nickel has been as a by-product from the
lead ore of Mine Lamotte in Missouri,
since the shutting down of the Gap nickel
mine, in Lancaster County, Pennsylva
nia, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia,
about 10 years ago. This mine was worked
from about 1SSS to 1SS0, when work was
discontinued because of the abundant sup
ply of nickel matte from Canada. Traces
and small amounts of the nickel minerals
genthlte and garnlerite have been found
in North Carolina, but not In commer
cially sufficient quantities, though a de
posit of nickel ore averaging 1.5 per cent
nickel Is reported near Morgantown.
Burke County. Similar occurrences of
nickel sljlcate are found In Oregon, where
the percentage of nickel ore Is much
greater than in the North Carolina min
erals. The Oregon deposits are on Plney
Mountain, in Douglas County, about three
miles a little north of west from Riddles,
a station on the Southern Pacific, and a
high-grade cobalt ore deposit Is being de
veloped in the Eastern part of the state.
Nickel ore Is reported to occur In some
quantity at the Congress mine, in Upper
Nine-Mile section, about 14 miles north of
Keller, Ferry County. Wash. This sec
tion was formerly worked for copper and
gold, but was abandoned. In the latter
part of 1901 the claims were again taken
up and are now being .developed for
nickel. , '
THUNDER, MOUNTAIN CLAIMS SOLD
Four Purchased by a Capitalist From
Pittsburg:.
SPOKANE, May 22. What is believed to
be the largest deal yet made In the Thun
der Mountain gold district was made last
night, when Charles E. Sklles, of Pitts
burg, purchased on bond four groups of
claims from Colonel John F. Firch, of
Butte and New York, for $125,000. The
claims are situated near the famous
Dewey mine, and are said to be on the
same dyke as that property. It is under
stood a 10-stamp mill will be started,
which may be enlarged later to 200 stamps.
The claims were located last March.

WOULD OPEN UP A WAR
PREDICTED RESULT OP PASSAGE
OP LEASING BILLS.
A. Western Congressman Says That
Any Such Xmv Would Cause a.
' Vicious Strife.
WASHINGTON, May IS. So general
has become the sentiment against the
pending leasing bills that are before Con
gress that all of those measures will un
doubtedly die in committee. Some time
ago, when all effort for leasing legisla
tion was placed behind the Bowersock
and Millard bills, it was readily shown
by members of the committee and by the
Interior Department that both bills
teemed with fraud. After several weeks'
discussion It became apparent to every
one that those bills could not be reported,
and they were, by mutual consent,
dropped.
The Interest in leasing legislation now
centers around the Lacey bill, and the
bill providing for leasing for grazing pur
poses only the lands of Nebraska.. The
Interior Department Is to recommend
against both measures; not so much that
they are drawn to permit fraud, but that
leasing legislation Is unnecessary. The
Lacey bill, which is framed entirely fn
t THE TRUSTS INTERESTED
The trusts do not conceal their hostility to President Boosevelt
They are not pleased with his Instructions to the Attorney-General
to proceed against the Northern Securities Company a short time ago
and now against the Meat Trust. They will seek every opportunity
to rebuke the President. It is understood that they are preparing to
bring what influence they can to bear against the Republican party
in Oregon for the purpose of rendering the President's recent action
apparently unpopular. If the election should be adverse to the Republi
cans, it would be hailed with quiet satisfaction by the trusts, It would
be heralded as an evidence of the unpopularity of President Roosevelt
and of his policies. Just now it is distinctively a fight between Presi
dent Roosevelt va the Trusts. It is for the voters of Oregon to. say
which of the parties to this contest they Indorse. The President is
waging this battle in the Interest of the people against combined
jvealth. Will the people of Oregon sustain, him? Wllljthey prove that
they are sincere when they ask public servants to fight combined
wealth in their behalf? They will have an opportunity to prove their
sincerity in the Oregon election. The outcome will be watched with
great concern by both the trusts and the people. Which is it to be?
There is another issue that will excite some" Interest. Vigorous
forces are opposing the construction of the Isthmfan Canal. The Pres
ident; is outspoken and emphatic in its favor. ,He Insists that Con
gress must pass a bill at this session. Is he to be rebuked or sustained?
the interest of the settler, probably has
no friend other than Mr. Lacey. The
other members of the public lands com
mittee admit that the bill is honest In
purpose, andfar more desirable than any
leasing bill that has yet been brought for
ward, but they are generally not inclined
to support any bill.
But what is more interesting Is the fact
that the very cattle interests which were
working for the passage of tho, Millard
and Bowersock bills are now found vigor
ously opposing the Lacey bill. Instead of
being drawn In the Interest of large stock
owners, its provisions favor the small
holder, and operate against the cattle
kings. Many of, the cattlemen are nowi
contending that no leasing law la prac
ticable; that is, any law which would
permit the making of homesteads on
lands covered by lease. If a law of that
kind were passed, they say, their enemies
would very soon send In representatives
to settle upon various portions of the land
covered by lease, thereby destroying, to
all practical Intents and purposes, the
objects of such lease. It Is said that un
der the leasing bills cattlemen would have
the right to fence their leasehold, but so
long as the land was subject to homestead 1
entry, tney woum not unaeriaice mis ex
pense, for the very reason that home
steaders coming in would take up their
most desirable tracts, and secure fence
and all.
On the other hand, the friends of the
homesteader assert that the covering 'of
sections of the public domain by large
leases would tend to intimidate settlers,
and prevent their settling on land cove'red
by a grazing lease. They say settlers
would not dare go upon these lands,
against the wish of the cattlemen.
A Western member, who is familiar
with cattle and range problems, say that
the enactment of any leasing law would
open up a vicious war between stockmen
and settlers, which would surely end In
bloodshed. He says that If present con
ditions are allowed to continue, this dif
ficulty would be obviated, as there Is a
general understanding as to what lands
are to be grazed upon, and certain lands
are set apart for sheep and others for
cattle. There Is practically no friction:
certainly, in his opinion, nothing like the
disputes that would follow the enactment
of a leasing law.
An effort Is now being made to prevent
a report on afly of the pending bills, In
cluding that urged by Mr. Lacey. It Is
claimed that even a favorable report
would give the topic undue notoriety, and
the opponents of the leasing law aro now
concentrating their efforts to have all
leasing bills either smothered In commit
tee or reported adversely. The chances
are that this effort will hS successful.

WAITERS OX A STRIKE.
Baker City Epicure Prefer Chinese
to White Cook.
BAKER CITY, Or.r May 22. The Cooks'
and Welters' Union of this city has or
dered -a strike because the St. Lawrence
and Sagamore Hotels employ Chinese
cooks. The only place directly affected Is
the St. Lawrence, the waiters at the Sag
amore not being members of the union.
The two hotels have been placarded, and
It is intimated that a strong effort will
IN THE OREGON ELECTION ,
be made by all tho members of labor or
ganizations to force the Chinese cooks out.
Some time ago the Cooks and Walters'
Union asked the hotels and restavfrants
to employ white cooks. The proprietor
of the Sagamore compiled, but the cook
ing "Was so vile-' that after two days -the
guests of the hotel notified the proprietor
that he could change cooks or they would
leave the hotel. He at once re-employed
the Chinese cooks. Mr. Ernest, of the
SL Lawrence, said he would employ white
cooks, if they would give him a bond to
cover loss If they got drunk. This the
union refused to do.

f
TO VALIDATE LIEU SELECTIONS.
Object of the Dill Norr Pending: De
' fore the House.
WASHINGTON, May 18. The House
committee on public lands recently or
dered a, favorable report ort the- bill, In
troduced at the request of the Secretary
of the Interior, intended tp validate cer
tain indemnity selections "made by var
ious states in lieu of sections 16 and 25,
commonly known as "school lands," In
abandoned military reservations, at a
time when the Interior Department he'd
that the states were entitled to select
lands in lieu of those sections. Later the
Secretary of the Interior held that the
lands referred to were not valid bases for
lieu land selections, but that the sec
tions themselves belonged to the states
under grants by Congress of such sec
tions for school purposes.
During the time when It was held hat
the sections above referred to were jpcn
to disposition by the Government under
the laws relating to the disposition of
public land on abandoned military reser
vations, a considerable portion of the
lands for which lieu selections had been
made were entered by settlers. The bill
in question proposes on the ono hand, to
validate the lieu selections; on the other
hand to make good the title of the set
tlers a3 though the lands In question had
heen subject to the same disposition as
other lands on the reservation. The com
mittee regard the bill as Just and equita
ble, as Itdpes not increase the state land
grants, nor confer any additional rights
upon the settlers.

GIVES iilS TESTI3IONY.
Damaging Evidence From the Sher
iffThe Defendant Under
Cross-Exaniln atlon.
ST. HELENS, Or., May 22. This is the
seventh day of the Schevle trial for the
murder of Schulkowskl. Perhaps the
most damaging testimony -was that given
by Sheriff Hattan on cross-examination.
After testifying that he found an empty
82-20 Winchester shell about eighteen feet
from where the body lay, he was asked
to state what conversation occurred be
tween himself and the defendant in the
Jail.; The Sheriff gave this as his theory
of- the killing: That defendant had rid
den: ahead of the deceased and tied his
horse in the brush near the road, and
then concealed himself behind a thick
screen of cedar boughs and waited for
his victim; thai Schulkowskle was shot
first In the left side and the shell ex
tracted from the gun and the second
shot fired after Schulkowskle had fallen.
The Sheriff, after having made this state
ment to the defendant, said to him:
"Isn't that the way you killed Joseph?"
and he replied, "I did not kill hlra,"
and thereupon covered his face with his
hands, as If In deep remorse.
Some time after the murder was com
mitted, a party of men working on the'
road near St. Helens found an open
cased, gold-filled watch hidden In a cleft
of rocks and coered with moss. There
waB no chain attached to tho watch. The
watch was not identified by Adam Sche
vle, who said he had carried Schulkow
swle's watch", which was an open-face,
gold-filled watch, a little smaller than
his own, but larger than a lady's watch.
He said that Schulkowskle's watch was
of different make than his.
Adam Schevle then stated that the
Watches were not of the same make,
but as he could neither read nor write
he had taken Schulkowskle's word for
tho difference In the make of the tfatchea.
It Is supposed that this watch was
taken from the body of the deceased and
concealed by the defendant as he came
In toward town the day he was arrested.
Adam Schevle testified that Schulkow
skle left the Schevle home at 10 A. M.,
and that his brother August left the
house after he had gone. As the mur
der was committed about four' miles dis
tant the accused could not have com
mitted the crime and returned In time
for his dinner, but there Is a conflict as
to the time of his return, as well as the
time of his leaving, as shown by dif
ferent members- of the family.
The state rested their case a few min
utes' after 1:30 o'clock. '
The defendant was placed on the stand
and cross-examined In a very rigid man
ner by the District Attorney. Schevle
admits having left home at about the
same time Schulkowskle left at about
or 10 A. M. and says that he returned
In time to take dinner with the family
at about 12 o'clock. His bearing In the
cross-examination Tvas good, and he
stood It much better than was expected.

CONTRACTED DISORDERS
To but partially euro contracted disease
is almost as dangerous as to allow it to
go untreated. Unless every particle of in

probability exists that the disease will
gradually work Us way Into the general

Prostate Gkmd hecoming chronically In
flamed, which always brings partial or
complete lo of power. Perhaps 25 per
cent of the cases of so-called "weakness"
are a direct result of soma Improperly'
treated contracted disease. During the
past live years we hare treated over C300
cases of contracted disorders, and have
effected an absolutely thorough and safa

no relapses or undesirable developments

cured In less time than other and lean
thorough forms of treatment require In
producing even doubtful results.
