EASTERN PRESS SCORES HIM New York Sun, 911 Ultra-AdminlHtrn-tlon Paper, Calls III in the Lion and Mouse Speaker Philadel phia Press Comment. The Democratic Congressional Com mittee has decided to magnify the Im portance of the action of Speaker Hen derson In declining to be a candidate for Congress, and already the word has gone forth to cease talking about Im perialism and make the campaign on trusts, tariff and Henderson. Repub lican leaders are prone to believe that Speaker Henderson's action .was actu ated by some other motive than that given In his letter. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington. Sept. 18. When Speaker Hender son emerges from the pile of brickbats that arc now being hurled at him. he -will feci like the man who didn't know it was loaded. He Is being soundly abused" by Re publicans In every part of the country, and everybody is casting about for rea sons for his withdrawal other than hose assigned. The New York Tribune says ho had no excuse for declining the nomina tion on account of the views at the Iowa Republicans, and adds: If the Republican voters of the Third Iowa district hold such views, they are neither inno vators nor dissenters, and no Republican need shrink from pledging himself to carry out their wishes for the fear of being -eounted among tho despollers of the" protective edifice. Tho Tribune 'declares that Henderson's attack" upon the' Iowa "platform as a free trade, utterance la neither reasonable nor justifiable, and furnishes no plausible ex cuse for his announcement that he would not be a candidate.. The Lion and Moose Speaker. The New York Sun, an ultra-Administration paper, calls him "the Lion and Mouse Speaker." It refers to his act as "political suicide," and says that while in some re spects he is brave, in others he is not. The same paper thinks tbat one reason f or Henderson's withdrawal is the fact that he might have a good deal of opposi tion in his campaign for the Speakership of the next House, and says there have been revolutionary tendencies among a numerous class of young members, who chafe under the present rules, adding: "Such tendencies as were crudely, and rather violently expressed in the rebel speech of Representative Frank Cushman, of Tacoma, in April last. The Philadelphia Press declares there is no difference between the views of Speaker Henderson and the declaration of the Iowa platform, and that the Speaker's explana tion does not justify his act. It says Hen derson's district is not in favor of smash ing the tariff without regard to tho gen eral industrial Interests, and that it is only the enemies of the tariff free-traders who put that revolutionary construction upon the Iowa platfcSm. The Press says the opposition will seize upon Henderson's act and magnify It out of all proportion. Opposition to Make It on Isjitic. That is Just what the opposition is doing. The announcement has already gone forth frorrf Democratic headquarters hero that there will be no .more Philippine talk or talk on Imperialism, bui the Demdcratic campaign will be directed Bolely to the tariff and trusts and to Henderson's action in getting out cf the race. It is further as serted that the President will be com pelled to-make a speech on the tariff and clearly define his views. Reports from Oyster Bay .received here indicate that the President has exhibited a great deal of indignation over Hender son's action, and that he does not believe Henderson has given the real reason, but has uod the tariff revision movement as a subterfuge. The President feels that the Speaker has placed him In a very embar rassing position, especially as he is about to make a tour of the Western country, which Includes the State of Iowa. It Is stated that If Henderson had deliberately oought to make the President's coming visit to Iowa unpleasant politically, he could not have found a more successful way of doing It. Numerous reports state that Republican Senators and Represent atives privately express their indignation over Henderson's withdrawal. May Have Feared Defeat. In looking for a motive it is possible that Henderson feared defeat. He at least feared vicious attacka Chairman Griggs, of the Democratic campaign committee, has notified Henderson that he Intended to make a bitter personal fight upon him in his own district Any criticism of Hender son is very distasteful to him. Since he was elected Speaker he has become arro gant and offended a great many people, and those who had known him as plain "Dave" Henderson have perhaps seen fit to express their opinions. It Is also prob able' that he undertook to bulldoze the Republicans of his district, and he found that they were not so docile as members of the House of Representatives that he has. been controlling for the past three years. Representative Hepburn, of Henderson's state, in an Interview in" New York said he had received a. telegram from Hender son in which, the latter had stated "that people outside of his district had no idea how bitter the feeling against him there was. He cited that in the town of Water loo both Republican papers were antago nistic to his views, and withdrawal -was his only alternative," It is probable that Henderson has created many bitter enemies in his district, and antagonized a great many men, which has cropped out in the last few weeks, and he may really have feared defeat at. the polls. Chairman Babcock has found it desirable to Issue a statement saying that he never advocated putting goods on the free list because they were manufactured by trusts, and that he knew of no Republican who had. There Is no denying that some Re publicans here, including members of the Cabinet and others who axe close to the President, view the act of Henderson with a great deal of alarm, ahd feel that under no circumstances was he excusable in jeop ardizing the prospects of Republican success. Candidate to Succeed Henderson. DES MOINES, la., Sept. 18. Through the columns of the Waterloo Courier, Charles E. Pickett, of Waterloo, past grand ex alted ruler of the Elks, today formally an nounced his candidacy to succeed Speaker Henderson. It Is urged that he will unite all factions of the party.

THE RANGE' WAR The Miners ancT Cattlemen Against Sheepmen. PROPOSED FORESf RESERVE Hove Conditions Have Changed of Late Years Positive Need of Con serving the Grsss, Timber and "Water of the .Blue Mountains. By a staff writer. HEPPNER, Or.. Sept. 18. If not pre cisely the storm centcr'of the range war, Heppner "Is near enough to It and has a eufilciently direct interest in it to share and reflect Its passions. Citizens of Heppner own many of the Hocks which range in the -district "of. armed hostilities in Grant County, and -several of them have been heavy losers "at the hands of the Grant County vigilantes. To some extent the reports of hostilities have been exaggerated. There has been some gun fighting, and two or three sheep herders have-been wounded, but nobody has been killed as yet and, while feeling Is high, there seems to be on both sides a wish to Intimidate rather than .to kill. It has gone harder with the animals, rot many hundred sheep and some cattle have been shot down; only this past week Mr. Day, of Heppner, having lost 400 sheep, and several, others have lost from half a dozen to half a hundred. It Is a sort of three-cornered fight. In which the miners, the cattlemen and the sheepmen are mixed up, each, of course, for hlmsolf, but with a more or less close alliance between the miners arid the cattlemen; and its declared aggres sive purpose Is to keep sheep off tho Grant County mountain rangesj The charge on -the part of the aggressors is that bands of sheep owned, almost in every Instance, outside the county, skin the range to a dust heap, leaving little for the stock of local residents; that they loc zoo 300 400 sea coo 700 aoa SCALE OF MILES ng&ZEJy LAND NAPOLEON " -c 7" i-'bsssssHHEt jstfJRH cut and foul the mining ditches, ca'uslng the owners of the latter great annoy ance and loss; that they are eating out, tramping out and rendering permanently worthless a range of great and perma nent value for cattle. Finding no means under the law to keep out of their county what they deem a nuisance and a pes.t, the miners and cattlemen have deter mined to be a law unto themselves In other words, to shcot down enough sheep to terrorize sheepowners and cause them to betake themselves to other pastures. The protest is a desperate one, and it is pursued in desperate spirit; for, while there is a wish to avoid personal collision, there Is no hesitation about meeting It with rllle and buckshot when it comes. ' As a matter of faot, the aggressors suffer no hazard in this fierce enter prise, for sentiment In Grant .County is almost wholly at their back, and If a criminal charge growing out of the war should be brought Into court there could be no conviction. No Grant County jury that it would bo possible to assemble would cpnvlct a Grant County man for shooting down a eheepherder engaged In pasturing "outside" sheep In the Grant "1 LIEUTENANT R. E. PEARY AND HIS SHIP, THE WINDWARD IX "WHICH THE FAMOUS EX PLORER RETURNED FROM THE NORTH. f County range. It Is a case where a whole community Is Interested to drive out the intruder, and where those who do not personally take a hand In the fight stand ready to protect those who, with gun In hand, go out on the range. Within the past few years a radical change has taken place In the conditions affecting the range stock Industry In Eastern Oregon. Formorly, the whole hazard of the business was In the Winter season, when thousands of animals al most' every year froze or starved to death on the open range, there being little or no preparation for Winter feed ing. But the deterioration of the ranges under overstocking, the vast increase In the livestock population and the intro duction of the alfalfa plant have changed all this. Everj- little creek bottom In Eastern Oregon Is now an alfalfa field, yielding Its two to four crops, a total of seven to nine tons per acre, each season. Every stockrangcr either owns or works under lease one or more "home ranches" with alfalfa stacks and Its contiguous Winter range under the w!re fence. There Is no longer any terror in the Winter season, for everybody is prepared for it. It has been several years since any losses worth speaking of have occurred in the Winter season, and in the valley of Willow Creek, In Morrow County, Hay Creek, in Crook County, and many other stock regions, there are at nearly every ranch stacks of hay brown and rusty fromj several season's exposure, waiting against the day of need. The present problem of the business Is that of Summer range, for with the in crease of herds and the decline of the na tive grasses under close and persistent grazing there. Is no longer range enough to go round. The open country grasses die out early In the season, ajd the main resource is the mountains, where stock of all kinds, and especially sheep, are driven by thousands early in May, when the open range .begins to fail. There is every Spring a great struggle to be first In the mountains and to get in the largest possible num ber of animals. The pressure of stock is tremendous, for of late years the numer ical strength of the range herds has grown mightily. Take the counties right hereabout to illustrate: In Morrow there are approxi mately 150,000 sheep, 60,000 cattle and 3500 horses; In Umatilla 145,000 sheep, ,16,000 cat tle and 15,000 horses; in Union 40,000 sheep. 18.000 cattle and 10,000 horses; In Wasco 105,000 sheep. 50CO cattle and 5000 horses; in Wheeler 80.000 sheep, 10,000 cattle and 4000 horses; In 'Crook 175,000 sheep, 20,000 cattle and 15,000 horses; In Grant 100,000 sheep, 16.C00 cattle and 5000 horses. It takes a vast area for the ranging of' this vast weight of stock through the long, dry Summer season, and the simple fact is thdt the -country is not equal to It. To (Concluded on Page 12.)

B., Sept. 181 Lieutenant R. E. Peary arrived here to day on the steamer Windward, from the frozen North. He did not discover the North Pole during his trip of four years, but he says that in his last dash with that object In view he made important discoveries. He also recovered the In struments and library abandoned by the Greely .expedition. He siy3 he feels cer tain that the pole can be reached, and furthermore that If he were" a man of Independent means, he would persevere until he succeeded. The most northerly point reached was latitude 84:17 northwest of 'Cape Hecla. Lieutenant Peiry says the pole can be reached from Franzjoscf Land and from Grantland, In latitude 83 degrees, If the Winter quarters are es tablished as far north as possible. He says that he would just as soon Winter at Cape Hecla as at Sabine or Etah. On board the Windward also was Mrs. Peary, who Is Just recovering from a fort night's Illness, and who Is glad to reach the land once more.
