THE MOKKING OKEGOlNIAtf, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1902. MANY EYES ON WEST! Oreg on Is Sure to Receiyea Large Immigration. SALEM MAN RETURNSFROM EAST. Foreign Capital Itecoernizes the Fine Xocntlon of Portland and Its Coming: Greatness Point on the 1905 Fair, SALEM. July 23. (Special:) 'That the City of Portland, and the State of Ore gon In general, are to experience a -wonderful growth In the next few years Is apparent from the great Interest the peo ple of Eastern and Southern States are taking la this country," says Jefferson Myers. Colonel Myers has Just returned from an eight months' tour through the United States and Mexico, stopping at many of the large cities long enough to meet the prominent business men and to learn of the conditions that exist in other states. On his trip he visited 30 different states. He made an extended visit to the Charleston Exposition and to the Na tional capital. He has returned to Salem to attend to numerous business matters and will soon remove to Portland to re side. "One thing that surprised me most," said Colonel Myers today, "was the great Interest that prominent business men and capitalists manifest in- the future -of this country. I found that everywhere the men whose business affairs give them some knowledge of the Industrial situa tion in the Northwest, believe that Port land is destined to be a great commercial center, rivaling If not surpassing San Francisco. They want to extend their general knowledge of business affairs here, and to learn more of the details of our resources. As soon as the men 1 met found out I was from -Oregon, they began asking questions about this state, and from the nature of the questions It was apparent they were confident that this country will undergo an extraordi nary development, and that tbey had a desire to invest money here and profit by the growth of the Northwestern States. "Eastern capital Is now coming here and coming In large quantities. The greater part of it is being invested in timber lands in "Western Oregon and' in mining property in "Western Idaho and Eastern Washington and Oregon. In smaller amounts, it is also being Invested in various enterprises, in farm lands and city property. .Every man who invests money here will help build up the coun try In order to increase the value of his property, and thus all "will be benefited. Aiipreelate Portland's Location. "People who live here in Oregon do not notice the changes that are now going on, and do not appreciate the influences which will aid in building up this state in the future. But business men who live at a distance see the trend of affairs and know that there Is a great future in Store for the Columbia River region. They ap preciate,, the importance of the geograph ical position Portland oocuples, and be lieve that as the center for the lumbering and mining and all other business of this country it will become one of the greatest cities of the "West Eastern people do not regatd Portland as a boom town 1n which money may be made by speculation, but as a city which has back .of lta wealth that will give. It ahcalthy and continuous though rapid growth. "The commercial organizations of Port land should make every effort to control trc mining business of Idaho and East ern Oregon and Washington, for the ten dency Is in this direction, though Salt Lake City Is making a fight for It. A free assay office and a smelter are among the first, things to be secured, and then transportation, facilities must be provided t turn the business this way. The business' "will naturally drift down to Portland 'If It has a good start. "Perhaps some people may not believe It, but I want to say, after having made careful observations during my trip East, that in its' Internal Improvements, its public buildings, roads and schools and In its government, Oregon Is the equal of any of the Eastern States and the super- Colonel Jefferson Myers, of-Salem. lor of at least half of them. Oregon is a well-governed state. All our public Insti tutions are provided with good buildings. We taJLe good care of our unfortunates, the 'blind, deaf and Insane. Our country schoolhouses are .on the average better than those In the East. Yet Oregon has not one dollar of debt, while nearly every Eastern State Is groaning under a burden cf debt from which it cannot release ltself ' We think our taxes are high, and they are, but our money goes Into public lmpnn'ements. Taxes are as high or higher In most of the Eastern States, but much of themoney goes to pay Interest on the- state debt, while little Is spent for public' improvement. The value of our rroperty is on the Increase and will keep pace with the Increasing needs for state expenditures, so mat tncre is no reason to believe that, Oregon will ever find ItV necessary to go into debt or to increase Its present rate of taxation. These are things that capitalists want to know about before they invest money hare, and whenever they meet an Oregon man they ply him with questions onsuch subjects. Anotlic'r Oregon Advantage. "Oregon has also a very great advan tage in tho character of her people. All the Southern States are overrun with ne groes, 4who pay practically no taxes, who constitute thc greater part of the paupers and criminals and who must be educated at public expense. They reduce tho wages paid to.labor and are an undesirable class of citizens. In many of the Eastern States and in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, undesirable people are found In great numbers. It- is not so 'lii Oregon, for all our people are intelligent, industrious and generally contribute to the expenses of the government. "In this connection I want to say that our County Assessors have overlooked the Ar ,t,i, j. isiV great increase In the value of timber lands, but are still assessing such prop erty at about ?200 per quarter section. when it is selling in the market at J4000 "to JGOOO a quarter. The capitalists who own this property ,are making big profits on it and should be required to pay taxes according to the value of their holdings. Anent the 1005 Fair. "Yes, I learned some things at the Charleston Exposition that may be of in terest in connection with the preparations for the Lewis and. Clark Centennial. The 'Charleston affair was a financial failure. chiefly for the reason that the managers failed to make agreements with the rail road companies for special rates. They did not get crowds for the simple reason that people could not afford to travel. Be fore making any other preparations the managers of the "Lewis and Clark Expo sition should have an understanding with the railroad companies concerning 'special rates from the East to Portland during the Exposition. "When this has been done they are .sure of a crowd, and it Is time to plan an exhibition of resources that ,wlll show the visitors what we have in this country. If an agreement for spe cial rates cannot be made with tho rail roads, the Idea 61 drawing large crowds from a distance must be given up nnd tho expenses of the fair kept down to the proper amount for a local attrac tion. "Arrangements should alio be made for cheap local excursions from every part of the state during the Exposition, so that the people who come here will travel over the state and learn of the advantages and opportunities in the. different locali ties. "I am pleased to learn that you elected a Democrat for Governor while- I was gone. I was in Mississippi, Chamberlain's natlvo state, when he was nominated, and found that there was reat Interest among the people there in his success. Tho Chamberlain family is one of the most prominent of tho State of Missis sippi, and if George had been running in that state he would have been elected al most unanimously. "Regarding Oregon's 'exhibit at the Charleston Exposition, I have nothing but praise to offer. The exhibit was a cred itable one, and by means of it we reached a class of peoplo wo have never reached before. Colonel Dosch represented the state as well as any one could have done, and Mrs. Wetherrod accomplished a vast amount of good by the publicity she gave the state and its resources through the press." IAXD OFFICE HELD IN EJtltOR. Commissioner Reverses Its Ruling In Columbia County Contest. OREGON QiTY. July 23.-(Spec!al.-A decision was received today from the General Land Office overruling the decis ion of thB local office in the contest of W. L. Buskher vs. John J. Galvln and Joseph Miller. Oh September 27, 1S0O. Galvln filed a homestead entry on ICQ acres of land near Goble, Columbia County. In March of the following year ho filed his relinquishment of the entry and Miller filed an entry upon the land. Fifteen days prior to the relinquishment Buckner filed a cohtest, alleging that Galvln took the claim on speculation and that ho did not Intend to make It a home; that It was more valuable for timber than for agricultural purposes; that Galvln offered his relinquishment for sale for $1500 and later offered It for 4500; that he took it to sell for Its Um ber and not to make it a home. The Register and Receiver sustained the entrymen and dismissed the contest. Commissioner Hermann, of the General Land Office, was appealed to, and in his reversal of the decision of the Register and Receiver, says: "It 1p found, notwithstanding that Galvln, had complied with the law as to residence and cultivation, that his inten tion and purpose at the time he made iil3 entry was to live on the land only 14 months and commute his entry. It must, therefpre. be held that hjs entry was speculative and that the contestant has established tho truth of his charge. Miller's entry i6, therefore, held for can cellation. It Is quite proper to note that the deceit and treachery of he contest ant, in his dealings with GaHin, Is quite apparent. It was an error to have al lowed Miller to enter the land pending Buckner's contest. But this does not affect the case on its merit, nor can it cause any real trouble. Miller having been made a party to the contest, his entry can bo as easily cancelled as Gal vin's, if it now covered the land. ISORTnWEST PENSIONS. Oregon and "Washington Rewarded.

The fisher men havo commenced going Into the traps and fishing, and trapownero have had a numoer or them arrested for attempted grand larceny.

SALEM, July 23.-(SpecIal.) There Is quite a strong probability 'that the act of the last Legislature providing bounties for the scalps of seals, sea .lions, shel drakes, shags and cormorants Is valid and operative, though It has all the time been held Inoperative and, under the ad A'lce of the Attorney-General, the Secre tary of State has refused to Issue War rants In payment of sUch bounties. The Supreme Court, In the case of Fsh Commissioner Reed vs. Secretary of State Dunbar, touched incidentally upon this point and Indicated Its opinion, without expressly deciding, that the low is operative. Only two claims have thus, far been filed with the Secretary of State, and these were presented over a year ago and disallowed. Others had claims they desired to present, but did not, because of the ruling of tho Attorney-General. The act Jn question appropriated 5S000 annually to pay bounties as follows: Seal; fl; sea lion, -550 sheldrake, 5 cents t shag, 5 cents; cormorant, 5 cents. It was provided In the act tbatthc per son who took the scalps of arty of these animals should present his-claim to the Fish Commtsioner, and, after making proof as required, receive a certificate from that official, upon which certifi cate the Secretary of State should Issue a warrant. The same Legislature passed an act establishing an entirely new fishing law and creating the office of Master Fish Warded. The ofllce of Fish Commis sioner was not expressly abolished. .In his opinion to the Secretary of State tho Attorney-General held that the ofllce of Fish Commissioner hid been abolish ed by Implication and that the words Fish Commissioner In the bounty law could not be construed lo mean Master Fish Warden. For that reason he held the bounty law Inoperative for want of an officer to carry out Its provisions. In the suit brought by Fish Commis sioner Reed to determine whether he had been legislated out of office, the Su preme Court agreed -nlth the Attorney General that Reed had been ousted, hut it hints very strongly that the words Fish Commissioner should be -construed to mean Master Fish Warden. The status or the bounty law became a-question in the Pish Commissioner's case only Incidentally. In touching upon the question. Chief Justice Bean, speaking for the court, said: "The evident purpose of this law was to provide for the payment of the bounty oht o the money received for licenses and fines Under the act regulating thcu fishlng Industry in the state, and that persons entitled to payment from -such fund should -make proof thereof to the officer charged with the duty of enforcing the fishing laws, it Is, therefore, quite probable, under the rUlo that where the subject-matter and general Intent of a Legislative act Is onco ascertained, words may bo modified, altered or sup plied so as to carry cut such Intention, that the words 'FiBh Commissioner will be constru6d to mean 'Master Fish War den.' " It is a custom of nil Supreme Courts not to decide points of law until they ate directly presented In caees which Involve the questions decided. As the Fish Commissioner cape did not hang entirely Upon the conditions of this act," tho court went no further than to Indi cate what its construction of the act would probably" be. The language Is strong enough, however, to leave little doubt that the court believes the bounty law to be operative. YOUTH PATTERNS AFTER TRACY. Salem Doy Burglar Is Caught, Ho-iv-ever "Will Go to Reform School. SALEM. JUly 23. (Special.) Ernest Lane, a 15-year-old Salem boy, has start ed out rather young to follow the tracks of Tracy.

Meder, once Lieutenant of a crack regi ment In the Kaiser's army, and, by his own account, a scion of an aristocratic but Impoverished family of Hanover, has been arrested and lodged In the city prison. He Is accused of felony In betraying the best of friends and obtaining $700 from George Schoenwald, proprietor of the Hotel del Monte, on a spurious check. Lieutenant Wllhelm Valentine, of the Prussian Cuir assiers, and an agent of his government while in the United States, also accused Meder of obtaining more than $1500 from him by false pretenses. When Detective Relnolds arrested him at the German Con sulate, Meder had just received a letter from a young lady of New Orleans telling him that she had paid 5160 for papers to which he had forged her name, and saying if ho did not return the money she would notify the police of San Franclcco.

(Spec!al.)-Senff Freshour and District Attorney Lodge have returned to Yreka, Cal., after Inves tigating the shooting scrape Monday night at Fall Creek, at the Oregon boundary line, tho present terminus of the construc tion -work on the Klamath Lake Rail road. In which Henry Hoover, a iogdrlver, was killed, and E. Loucks. a construction boss, seriously, if not fatally, wounded. A number of the railroad and tlmbermen had teen carousing at J. A. McDonald's saloon, among thcSn Hoover and Loucks, who proceeded to get Into a buggy be longing to the saloon-keeper, and then they started away down the road toward the river. Enraged at their action. Mc Donald ran after them, but finding that they out-traveled him he drew his revolver and fired, the ball from It passing through the cover of the fleeing vehicle and enter ing the back of the neck of Hoover, com ing out through his forehead.
