National legislation for the reclama

Teoemmendatlon an. Improvement to
premoto home-bulldlng. Instead of In
the Interest of the land-erabber. The
measure has alre'ady passed the Senate.
The House -will dispose of It in a short
time.
WASHINGTON:, June 9. It Is perfectly
safe to say that the irrigation bill tvIU
pass the House during the "next few days.
The bill vs-yi then go to conference "with
the Senate committee, for the bill adopted
by the House is the bill which passed the
Senate, but to which important amend
ments have been made. No more striking
change in the status of a legislative mat
ter has taken place during this session
than that which has come over the atti
tudo of Congress towards the irrigation
bill. Four months ago it was evident to
those best informed that a National irri
gation bill would pass the Senate, though
in what shape was considered doubtful.
It was equally apparent at that date that
there was a majority in the House against
the bill of probably 150.
After the Senate passed its irrigation
bill it was still evident that the House
was against any such measure, and, what
was more significant, the Senate bill was
objectionable to President Roosevelt and
to the National Irrigation Association.
President' Roosevelt and others who de
sired an irrigation bill which should bo
a home-making bill immediately Insti
tuted a vigorous campaign to secure such
amendments as would eliminate from the
Senate measure its pernicious features.
The "Western members of Congress were
practically united to secure this result.
3Iany conferences were held, both at the
Capitol and at the "White House, and a
personal canvats was conducted by the
advocates of a proper measure, not only
to secure amendments for the Senate bill,
but to secftre the passage of the measure
through the House and its final enact
ment Into a law.
The House committee on irrigation de
cided to abandon Its own measure for the
purpose of gaining time, and, adopted the
Senate measure, making the necessary
amendments thereto to secure the support
of the Administration and of the National
Irrigation Association. Earlier predictions
to the effect that no Irrigation legislation
could be enacted at this session of Con
gress were based entirely upon lack of
knowledge of the importance of the meas
ure among many members of Congress
and the lack of support from President
Roosevelt and the National Irrigation As
sociation for any bill euch as the Senate
measure, which did not conform to the
fundamental Idea of homebuilding on the
public lands. The House committee Te
ported the amended Senate measure April
7, and this bill, as reported, has received
the full approval 6f President Roosevelt
and the hearty support of the National
Irrigation Association, which, it may be
said, is absolutely necessary to the en
actment of any irrigation legislation by
Congress.
This bill, as now before the House, has
received the approval of nearly three
quarters of the members, and the support
which has come to the measure since its
amendment demonfctrates most effectively
that the strength of the irrigation move
ment lies in the Idea of home-making on
the jiubllc lands. This Idea was the key
note of President Roosevelt's message
concerning such legislation, and it Is the
foundation of the great strength of the
National Irrigation Association with Con
gress and with the people of the country
as a whole.
It has been a foregone conclusion that
any irrigation bill which did not reserve
the land for -the exclusive uso of home
stead .settlors, who should live five years
upon their claim before securing. title to
the same, would not receive popular sup
port or the support of those in authority
who had to -do with legislation. The land
speculator, .the water speculator and the
landgrabber are eliminated from the situa
tion under the restrictions attending set
tlement, as contained In the bill reported
by the House committee. Some of the
amendments made appear immaterial and
Trifling to those who are not fully alive
to ttoe necessity of strictly guarding the
homesteader In' his rights. The most care
fully worded law generally affords some
opportunity for fraud, which, perhaps
without being -directly a technical viola
tion of the law, is a violation of the spirit
in which It Is passed. A loosely drawn
measure becomes merely a vehicle for
fraud, and It was of supreme Importance
that the inauguration of the National Irri
gation policy should be under the aus
pices of the homesteaders.
An honest administration of a National
Irrigation law which is Inscribed upon the
statute books In the form of the bill now
before the House will produce the results
intended, and in the course ofa few years
the people of the country as a whole, in
the East as well as In the "West, will bo
proud of the addition to the strength,
wealth and prosperity of the country
which has come through Its enactment,
and will wonder at the blindness of those
who" opposed the adoption of such a policy
by a Nation whose tremendous growth
and strength abroad lies In the produc
tion from the soil of the food of the world
by a multitude of American homestead
ers. The irrigation bill" now before Con
gress Is a new homestead law, and shourd
be known as such.
WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Days Somewhat Cool, hut Very Fa-'
vornhle.
PORTLAND, June 10. The rainfall dur
ing the past week was light, and con
sisted .of 'small showers along the Coast
and over widely scattered areas in the
"Willamette Valley and in the extreme
eastern portion of the state. The first '
of the week was unseasonably cool, espe
cially during the daytime, but the last
few days were moderately mild and very
favorable for the growing crops.
The maximum, or day temperatures dur
ing the week in "Western Oregon ranged
between 55 degrees and 86 degrees, and In
the minimum, or night temperatures, be
tween 42 degrees and 54 degrees. In East
ern Oregon the maximum temperatures
ranged between 5S and 2 degrees, and
the minimum temperatures between 3S
and 58 degrees.
Light frosts the early part of the week
slightly Injured tender vegetation in many
sections, " but the staple crops escaped
unharmed. AH kinds of grain continue
very promising. Fall wheat la heading
nicely with every indication of making
good, plump kernels. The reseeded areas
have cot yet begun to head, but there
has been plenty of moisture and the plant
is healthy and promising. A few com
plaints of rust and of the wheat stalks
falling are made by correspondents In
Linn County. Spring grain is growing
rapidly; It is well rooted and has an ex
cellent color. Early oate, barley and rye
are also heading nicely.
Considerable alfalfa has been cut dur
ing the week in Southern Oregon, and
the yields appear to he about the same
as last year. Range grass In the eastern
section is the best-in years, "but in South
ern Oregon it is not as good, and some
few reports are to the effect that feed on
the Summer ranges Is still short. The
weather has been too wet and cold for
timothy and this crop Is not as promis
ing as it was a few weeks ago. Clover is
doing splendidly. Sheep-ehearing Is near
ly completed, and the clip is an average
one. It has been the best 1 week of the
peason for gardens, corn, potatoes, sugar
beets and hops, and they are all making
rapid advancement.
The fruit outlook in Southern and East
ern Oregon Is very promising, but In the
"Willamette Valley the conditions axe so
uneven that it Is Impossible to arrive at
any definite conclusion as to the probable
results, except in the case of Italian
prunes and cherries, both of which have
been damaged to such an extent ' as to
cause the yields to be considerably less
than last year.

APPEAL TO REASON.
Well-Knovcn, Property-Owner Talks
About the Strike.
PORTLAND, June 9. (To the Editor.)
Your very able editorial in today's Issue,
entitled "PorUaria" Building Strike." de
serves great consideration from the citi
zens of this city. It sets forth succinctly
the possible ultimate results that may fol
low, the present position the contending
parties hold, and the possible loss In life
and property, which may exceed the ap
parent amount yet involved. It is there
fore yet time for good counsel to pre
vail and arrest the calamities that may
follow, and to prove the civilization and
order of the day is not dependent on whim
or malice. And, this matter being local,
should enable our citizens, when the time
Is ripe, to step in, with public opinion well
crystallized, and overturn the unpleasant
feelings now existing In both ranks.
I am not convinced that the mlllmen's
claim the concession of an hour per day
asked by the workmen will put them out
of business or leave them without profit
for their Investment and labor. Any one
having had occasion for the past two years
to purchase buljding material well knows
prices have been so advanced, giving many
reasons to believe the mlllmen's gains
have been all that could reasonably be
desired. They were asked by their work
men to make a concession of an hour per
day, which It is reasonable to suppose
they could have afforded. And It Is prob
able, had they had before them the text
of your editorial, well considered, matters
never would have reached their present
acute stage. But at this juncture a bit
of human passion was interjected by the
threat of a boycott of the mlllmen's manu
factures. The American mind will, under
all circumstances, resent a boycott, and
public opinion sustains IL Reason for the
moment Is set aside and passion rules.
Public sentiment has cordially supported
the laboring man's claim to organize and
form unions for his social and moral ad
vancement. Intelligent and liberal beings
recognize the right of workmen to pro
mote by all fair means the welfare and
education of his family. It Is also well
recognized that to Insure good citizens a
fair compensation must be paid for labor,
facilitating the growth ot good citizenship.
It is the moral and civic consideration
that has made the growth of unions pos
sible and prosperous, and will continue
their influence as long as supported by
publlc opinion. But when the powers are
dclogated to men who have a limited con
ception of the authority Intrusted to them,
and who will encourage by boycott or the
tying up of the wheels of commerce of a
great city to gratify the whim of some
disgruntled being, it then becomes the
duty of the thinking public who measure
consequences to act by withdrawal of the
support of public opinion. These are the
conditions, tersely -stated, that now pre
vail in this city and why the mlllmen's
stand has been made tenable.
Inasmuch as the unpatriotic gauntlet of
boycotting has been first cast by the union,
let the union be the first to recall the
same, and it Is probable a settlement
will be arrived at. Also let the press de
sist from appealing to the public In be
half of te poor laboring man. This ap
peal leads to the conclusion that our
worklngmen are oppressed by bad legisla
tion, as are the oppressed of Europe, and
educates a body of men to believe they
are entitled to public sympathy whether
their cause is well founded or not. Our
worklngmen are an able body of men, and
need no demagoglsm to' sustain them In
tholr just demands. By recalling the boy
cott the workman ennobles himself.
Others will probably follow, and the ac
tion cannot be considered a backdown or
surrender of principle. LEO FRIEDE.
BEGS, YET SHE IS RICH.
Impostcr Aslcs for Aid "When She
Ottos Property "Worth $5500.
PORTLAND, JunePlO. (To the Editor.)
A woman about 50 years of age has
been presenting a paper, headed as fol
lows: "In favor of Mrs. Leon, a widow,
with five children, and unable to work by
being affected with hernia, please help
herjf you can; God will bless you," at
stores and business offices and begging
for money.
She Is dressed In deep mourning, and
has with her a boy about 6 years old.
She called today at this office to ask
aid, and, after being questioned and told
of the law against begging in this city,
and of her liability to have the boy taken
from her, she produced a letter, which
tells quite a different story.
It is from George P. Phlbbs, an attor
ney of Los Angeles, Cal., and advises her
to dispose of certain property for $5500.
She said that the letter was written to
her, and that the statements were true.
A number of business men have tele
phoned me about this woman in the past
three or four days.

The Character of Pilate.
SALEM, June 10. (To the Editor.)
Concerning what has been said recently in
The Oregonlan by a contributor and In
an editorial paragraph In the matter of
Pilate, permit me to say that history
brings to us the Roman Procurator as an
example of cruelty. Once he brought the
Roman standards Into Jerusalem, and
the Images of the Roman Emperors' they
bore brought great grief and remon
strance to the Jews, whom Pilate threat
ened to kilL Seeing that the Jews would
die rather than submit to profanation, Pi
late relented. Again, he sent soldiers to
fall upon the Jews unawares because they
were opposed to Pilate's using sacred
money on the water works of the city,
and a massacre followed. Turn to the
pages of Josephus for confirmation of
these statements. Luke informs us of a
massacre Pilate made at a passover, at
which time the Procurator mingled the
blood of certain Galileans with their sac
rifices. The Samaritan Senate sent a com
plaint of Pilate's cruelty to the President
of Syria, who commanded Pilate to ap
pear before Tiberius, the Roman Emperor.
The successor of Tiberius banished Pilate
to Gaul, where In shame he committed
suicide.
At the trial of Jesus Pilate grasped the
side of jusUce, but, politician-like, when
his own Interests -were at stake, he had
no respect for his convictions.

JACOBSEN REACHES PORT
LAST SHIP OF THE 1001-03 GRAIN'
FLEET XOW IX THE RIVER.
Vessel Cornea From France In Ballast
American Shipbuilding Com
bine Nearly Perfected.
The French bark Jacobean arrived In
yesterday after a moderate passage of 143
d.ays from Nantco. The vessel Is a new
craft, and comes here on her maiden trip.
She Is under charter to the Portland
Grain Company, and will be the last ves
sel of the 1901-02 grain fleet from this port.
The extent to which the French bounty
earners have figured in moving the wheat
from this port Is much greater than is
generally supposed, for with the depar
ture of the Jacobeen, the fleet for the sea
son will number 23 vessels, or about one
fifth of the total number sailing from
here with grain since the season opened.
The Portland Grain Company, which has
the Jacobsen under charter, captured
more of the new comers than any other
firm, having previously loaded this sea-
THE GRAND ARMY IS
At the 21st annual encampment of the Department of Oregon,
Grand Army of the Republic, held, in Astoria, June 4-6, a special com
mittee appointed for the purpose submitted the following Report:
"Resolved. By the Department of Oregon, Grand Army of the
Republic, In annual encampment assembled, that Its members, -remembering
the conditions attending actual warfare during the time of
their service, affirm their confidence In the courage and -humanity of
our brave officers and soldiers In the Philippines, who are acting
under the orders of the "War Department, the responsibility for which
Secretary of "War Root nobly assumes.
"Resolved, That the American soldier has on many bloody battle-fields
exemplified the qualities of courage and humanity, and we
are not prepared to admit that these noble virtues, which have for
a century distinguished him In his country's service, are replaced by
unsoldlerly acts of cowardice and cruelty."

DEFENSE OF BRITISH SHIPPING.
Subjects of the KIn;r ArexXot Pleased
"With the Outlook.
NEW YORK, June 10. Defense of the
shipping interests of the Empire was one
of the undertones of conversation at the
Royal Exchange Colonial Exhibition din
ner. Just given at the Hotel Cecil, says
a London dispatch to the Tribune. Lord
Strathcona was in the chair to welcome
the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs and the Gresham
committee and prominent representatives
of Canada. "Western Australia. Rhodesia,
British North Borneo and the "West Indies.
Although there were many speeches, those
who had something to say were silent.
Among those reticent men were Sir Al
fred Jones and Commissioner Preston,
with full faith In the maritime resources
of Canada.
Contradictory accounts are published re
specting the British shipping combina
tion, and It is difficult to differentiate be
tween them. Sir Alfred Jones Is. one of
the shrewdest business men in the ship
ping trade, , and knows how to keep his
own counsel and drive a good bargain.
He has been drawn In recent years Into
Mr. Chamberlain's circle of friends, and
has taken a strong Imperialistic line on
shipping, colonial and other questions. He
Is committed by public utterances to the
defense of British shipping Interests, on
Imperial grounds, but is too practical a
man to decline advantageous offers unless
he has assurances that a new combina
tion will be adequately supported by the
home as well as the Canadian Govern
ment. If he accepts Mr. Morgan's offer, rates
between Canada and Germany will be ad
vanced. If shipping men can be believed,
from 120 to 200 marks; but his friends as
sert that he will remain true to the Brit
ish and colonial Interests and organize
the new combination.
AMERICAN SHIPBUILDING.
May Reports Show the Construction
of 126 Vessels of 3-1,138 Tons.
The Bureau of Navigation, reports 12G
vessels of 34,139 tons gross were built In
the United States and officially numbered
during the morith of May. The largest
steel vessels Included in these figures are
the steamer James Gayley, 4777 tons gross,
built at Cleveland for the American Ship
building Company, and the steamer L. C.
Smith, 4744 tons gross, built at "West Bay
City, Mich., for the "West Bay City Ship
building Company. Three foreign-built
vessels were added to the merchant fleet,
among them being the schooner Guard
Ian, which capsized In Vineyard Sound and
was afterward towed to Vineyard Haven,
repaired and subsequently towed here.
Also the bark Homeward Bound, which
was Americanized by an act of Congress,
and the schooner Jessie Banning, which
was rebuilt after being wrecked.
For the 11 months ending May 3L 1193
sail and steam Vessels of 253.63S tons gross
were built and officially numbered In the

The steamer Cymbellne will finish dis
charging her Inward cargo today, and will

port for a visit to the graving dock, the
Port of Portland dock not yet being in
condition for receiving vessels. The
steamship Indrapura will probably finish
discharging Inward cargo tomorrow, and
will commence loading outward at once.
Among other freight which she will take
from Portland Is a shipment of about 600.
000 feet of lumber. This would make a
full cargo for a good-sized schooner, but
will hardly All up one of the big holds on
the Indravelll. The steamship Quito was
not working yesterday, and may not get
away before next week. The Oceano,
which Is due to load a cargo of oats for
South Africa, had not put In an appear

day and unless -she reaches here very
shortly, she will not get away "before the

MISSIONS IN INDIA.
Miss Doremns Tells of the Projrreiis
of the "Work.
NEW YORK, June 10. Miss S. D. Dore
mus, secretary of the Woman's Union Mis
sionary Society, who has Just returned
from a visit of eight months to the mis
sion stations of tho society In India,
China and Japan, said In speaking of her
trip:
"It Is rather the fashion In some quar
ters to sneer at missionaries, but the re
spect and affection that .they have won,
especially In India, are proof that their
work is from the heart and reaches the
heart. The estimation In which they are
held was strikingly manifested in the per
fectly astonishing amount of courtesy
shown to me as the secretary of the so
ciety that sends them. Officials of high
standing, lavished polite attentions upon
me, sending me fruits and flowers, and
everywhere I received the warmest wel
come. "The hospitals are the most Important
part of our mlssldn work, ae It Is through
them that we establish friendly relations
with the natives. The Mary S. Ackerman
Hoyt memorial hospital in Jhansl is a
beautiful place. The sites of our mission
bungalow and memorial hospital have
been wisely chosen outside the gates of
the walled city, which, with. Its narrow
streets and densely crowded thorough
fares, represents many types of life In
India.
"The progress of women in India Is an
assured fact, for already Instances arc
seen. Several have taken degrees In the
university lately. One of them was the
mother of Ave children. The question of
child marriage must be settled, however,
before reform Is fully c&tabllshed. The
missionaries have succeeded la raisin? the
marriage age to 12 years, but It must be j
made 16 before conditions can Improve
ereatlv."
ATLANTA'S BIG: FAIR
(Continued from First Page.)
If anything approaching the group of
buildings In Piedmont Park could be con
structed at a cost within 5300,000.
As usual in such affairs, the Atlanta
Exposition was hot fully ready at the
date announced for the opening, and It
was a month before the attendance began
to be generous. The arrangement had been
for a three months' or 100-day fair, and
as the days went by and the attendance
did not materially pick up, it looked as If
the enterprise were doomed to failure.
There were several discouraging and dam
aging circumstances, most of them of a
small kind, but all tending to deepen the
prevailing discouragement. For example,
the great Illustrated publications of New
York sent down their correspondents and
artists to exploit the exposition by means
of writing It up and picturing It hand
somely. They wanted, naturally, to make
their own photographs5," but this purpose
did not fall in with the notion of a. con
cessionaire to whom the photographic J
privilege had been sold, and It was only
after a wrangle and no end of annoyance
that It was finally arranged for the photo
graphs to be made. A fine chance for ef
fective advertising free of cost was lost
through the mistake of not permitting
everybody to make pictures at will and
give them the widest possible circulation.
'
Another and far more sfrlnns nrnhlpm
Narpse In connection with transportation be
tween the exposition grounds and the
city. The entfre system was under a
single ownership, and to the surprise of
everybody, and to the amazement of the
exposition management, the price was put
up to 10 cents, or double the ordinary
charge. "While the amount was not great,
the principle was important, and the ad
verse moral effect upon the fortunes of
the fair were most damaging. It gave the
newspapercorrespondents the cue to decry
Atlanta upon the basis of Its assumed ex
tortion in the matter of expqsitlon
charges, and these statements, going far
and not being possible "of full refutation,
did the greatest possible damage. .After a
long fight the street railway management
was brought to reduce Its extortionate
charge, but the change came late, and the
Injury done by It could not be repaired. It
Is the opinion of those best qualified to
Judge that this Incident alone cost the fair
a 'round $100,000. It created a feeling In
Atlanta which tho seven yars which have
passed since the exposition have not served
to allay. It was the one -circumstance
which qualified the universal local satis
faction felt In the results of the exposi
tion. v . .
,
The organization of the Atlanta alr was
one of good working power. The president
of the association acted 8s director-general,
and gave to the work great Industry
and enthusiasm. Toward the close, wnen
the work grew pressing, and when the
social duties became engrossing,, a
general manager was .brought in to
relievo the president, but this wab
not until after the exposition had prac
tically run Its active career. The Board
of Directors, originally made up of 50
citizens, was Increased to CO later on, in
order to bring Into direct support of the
fair certain desirable personal elements.
This board was In some measure an hon
orary body. Its meetings were not fre
quent, but an executive committee con
sisting of the heads of the several work
ing departments met dally and considered
every general question which arose.
In the main this organization worked
well, but it was not without fault. One
very notable fault was that each depart
ment In practice made Its own purchases,
with practically no restraint In the form
of an auditing board. There was in the
ory a committee upon whom, this respon
sibility rested, but from the start its du
ties were neglected, and the result was a
go-as-you-please system, by which the
large floating debt already referred to wa3
created. There was no real scandal In the
matter. Most of the money expended was
for things needed, but a good purchasing
department would have saved a good deal
to the association, and it would have
avoided the humiliation of a debt which
nobody knew anything about until the
bills came In. As It was, the discovery of
this debt. In addition to the other embar
rassments of the association, almost made
a panic. The situation was almost des
perate for a while, and there was a time
when it looked as If the doors of the fair
would be closed by the Sheriff. This would
surely have happened had not the presi
dent at the critical moment lent the as
sociation $50.000'ln cash to relieve Its more
pressing necessities and give courage to Its
creditors. A. H.

FATE OF ARQHDUKE JOHN
Lost nt Sea Off the South American
Coast.
NEW YORK, June 10. C. P. Wychgel,
of Washington, superintendent of a dredg
ing company, with offices in this cits, has
In his possession, according to the Her
ald, a letter which would appear to prove
almost beyond doubt that Archduke John,
nephew of the Emperor of Austria, who
mysteriously disappeared In 1830. while on
a voyage to South American waters, lost
his life at sea. For 12 years stories that
the Archduke was still alive have come
from various parts of the world.
In 1SS7 an irreconcilable quarrel occurred
between, the Emperor and 'his nephew,
who was Imperial Archduke of Austria,
Royal Prince of Hungary and Grand
Ducal Prince of Tuscany. The Duke was
deprived of all his offices. His rank as a
soldier was taken from him, his name was
stricken from the army list, and he was
forbidden to appear at cQurt, this despite
the fact that no one more than his Im
perial uncle admired his talents and force
of character. It was at this time. In Vi
enna, he met a singer whoso beauty was
attracting attention throughout Europe.
After continued success abroad, shocame
to this country and made her debut at
the Thalia Theater, in -the Bowery, then
the home of comic opera. Soon after ehe
married the Duke In London.
Efforts of friends to settle the quarrel
at court were futile, and the Archduke,
assuming the name of Johann Orth.
bought a vessel in England, assumed com
mand, and with his wife sailed for South
America. The ship was reported at En
senada, near Buenos Ayres, and never has
been heard from since. Nevertheless, re
current reports that Johann Orth still
lives have, it Is said, buoyed up the aged
- a!5Mvf
Best by
Archduchess In a Tuscan castle, and she
never has believed her son to be dead.
Superintendent "Wychgel says that .while
he was. In 1830, superintendent of a dredg
ing company at Ensenada. Archduke John
sailed Into port and purchased from him
ballast for a trip to Valparaiso, Chile.
They had a slight dispute over the weight
and the Archduke said the ballast was
to come out at Valparaiso, where it should
be weighed and a draft sent for the differ
ence in price if there was one. He gave
Wychgel a letter of recommendation,
which he still keeps. The ship sailed a
few days later and was never sighted
afterward. Wychgel says the Archduke's
wife was not aboard the ship, however,
and that she returned to Buenos Ayres
after It sailed. No word has ever been re
ceived from her, however, and she a'-so
has been generally believed to have been
lost on the sea.
Co-operative "Kosher" Shop.
NEW YORK, June 10. A rushing busi
ness was done by the first New York Co
operative "Kosher" butcher shop, which
has Just been opened in the Jewish quar
ter, under the auspices of the "East Side
Ladles' Anti-Trust Association." People
stood in line for a block, and 2000 pounds
of chuck meat was disposed of so rapidly
and at 1 cent les3 than the price In "Kosh
er" shops, that the stock was sold out
In a few hours. The association has
planned to open other shops throughout
