Williamson Urges Claim of
State for irrigation.
OFFICIALS ATWASHINGTONSEEN
Representative; Shows No Better Sites
Exist Than in Eastern Oregon,
for- Initial Projects Under
the Sew Lair.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 7. Representative-elect J.
N. Williamson, of Oregon, is In Washing
ton for a few days, getting: acquainted
in those Government departments which
have direct supervision over matters of
interest to Eastern Oregon. He has been
conferring with officials of the Geological
Survey, the Department pf Agriculture,
the land office and Secretary Hitchcock's
office, extending his acquaintance, and
familiarizing himself with departmental
methods of doling business. More than all
else, Mr. Williamson is urging upon the
several offices the claim of the State of
Oregon for immediate recognition under
the Irrigation law passed at the last ses
sion of Congress. Pie declares Irrigation
is the greatest issue now before the peo
ple" of his district, and in view of the
large amount contributed to the Irriga
tion fund by Oregon, exceeded only by
the contributions of Oklahoma and North
Dakota, the state has a Just claim for
an early return.
Mr. Williamson finds the department
proceeding cautiously In an endeavor to
locate the Initial projects In vicinities
-where the natural conditions Insure suc
cess, and a quick return of the money
Im'ested. At the same time he Insists that
there are no more favorable sites nor
mere promising projects anywhere .than
can be found in Eastern Oregon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. A. M. Drake,
president of the Pilot Butte De
velopment Company, which has made
a contract with the State of Ore
gon to reclaim a large tract of
land on the Upper Deschutes River, un
der the Carey act, had a conference with
Interior Department officials today, and
urged them to take early action on the
state's selection of the lands desired by
him.
He was told that this selection, with
others, is now under Investigation, to de
termine whether the la,nd listed is arid
and subject to reclamation under the
Carey act. No report has yet been re
ceived; and until this is at hand, the Sec
retary will not act.
Sheep to Go- on Reserves.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 7. The 'Secretary of the In
terior today fixed the number of sheep
to be allowed to graze In the Mount Rai
nier forest reserve, Washington, next
Summer, at 157,000, with 6300 horses and
cattle. In the Washington reserve. 20,000
sheep and 4000 horses and cattle will bo
admitted to graze. This Is a reduction
in number made necessary because of
overgrazing during the past season, when
172,000 sheep were grazed on the Rainier
and 25,000 sheep on the Washington re
serve. Sheep grazing is permitted from
July 1 to September 25, cattle and horse
grazing from June 1 to October 1. Sheep
admitted to the Washington reserve will
be confined west pf .Iake Chelan.
ALCOHOL IS NOT A FOOD.
Sirs. Additon Vigorously Opposes the
Contention of Dr. Attvatcr.
PORTLAND. Nov. 7. (To the Editor.)
A request comes to me asking me to
reply to the editorial In Wednesday's is
sue, regarding "Temperance and Truth."
Befprc entering the "facts In the case,"
we desire to say we entirely agree with
The Oregonian in the statement that "the
temperance cau?e can easily endure the
truth." But it is an enigma how any
one can condemn the scientific teaching as
regards the nature of alcohol and at the
same time acknowledge the evil effects
of 1-s use. even acknowledging that the
"moderate use very commonly leads to
excels."
As for the fanatical ignorance of the
text-book.? and methods of the W. C. T.
U. being "disgusting." I sincerely pity
any journal or individual who stoops to
the use of such language against those
who happen to .differ from them in opin
ion. The theory seemingly lodged in the
mind of the wculd-be critics that the .W.
C. T. T. is composed of a set of fanati
cal, sentimental women Is a false one,
based on ignorance of facts, and. I fear,
tinged with much prejudice. Many of the
most practical and scholarly women of
the world arryenrolled in its ranks. Hav
ing carefully read Professor Atwa tor's
statement regarding the nutritive val
ue of alcohol, and aa carefully examined
the complete analysis of the same based
upon recent scientific investigation, we
find an overwhelming amount of testi
mony Insuring the accuracy of the text
book, and, that Professor Aiwater'g own
figures as set forth In bulletin No. 09, of
the United States Department of Agricul
ture, do not support hie own claim and
have not proven that alcohol has food
value.
What authority have I for such a state
ment? Professor Seneca Egbert, of the
Medico-Chlrurglcal College, of Philadel
phia; Professor Frank Woodbury, of the
Philadelphia Polyclinic and Qollege for
oraauates, and recently of the Chirurgi
cal College, of Philadelphia; WJnfleld S.
Hall, Ph. D., M. D., professor of physi
ology in Northwestern University Medi
cal School, ot Chicago; C. A. Hester, M.
D., professor of pathological chemistry,
in Bellvue Hospital Medical School, New
York, and hosts of others give the .some
scientific facts; they are also found In
the leading medical journals.
The St. L.ouls Medical Brief, August,
1B99, says: "The official announcement of
Professor Atwater Is calculated tp mis
lead and. do great harm. Therefore the
medical "profession must exert itself to
counteract Its Influence by teaching jJio
true effects and insidious workings -of
alcohol in the body."
The fallacy of calling a substance "to
a limited extent a fpod," solely on the
ground that It has one characteristic of
a food, such as furnishing heat through
oxidation. Is very happily characterized in
an editorial In the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association of March, 1900, as
follows:
The question at Issue is whether Its oxidation
in the body entitles alcohol to a position among
the foods. If all substances which arc oxidized
In the body and give up their energy are to be
classified as foods we shall be obliged to list
with the latter many substances which are
more or less noxious In their influence on the
system. The fallacy of he reasoning which
would place alcohol among the foods is very
apparent when we put It In the form of a syl
logism: All foods are oxidized la the body; alcohol
is oxidized In the body; therefore, alcohol Is a
food.
As logically might we say: All birds are bi
laterally symmetrical: the earthworm Is bilat
erally symmetrical; therefore, the earthworm
is a bird. Oxidation In the body Is only one of
several Important properties of a food: as bi
lateral symmetry Is only one of several import
ant characteristics of a bird.
A definition of food must include p. statement
of Its general effect on the inner .life of the
Individual cell. In this regard alcohol stands
far removed from all recognized foods. Advo
cates of the alcohol-a-food dogma try to evade
the main Issue by contending that "as alcohol
Is oxidized In the body It is to a certain extent
a food." or that it possesses a "limited food
value." This method of reasoning Is Just as
fallacious as it would be to contend tha be
cause an earthworm possesses one of the requi
site characteristics of a bird it is therefore to a
certain extent a bird. The claim that alcohol
Is a food. In any proper sense of the term. Is
not. In our opinion, sufficiently proved.
To show that alcohol la a poison we
could give a great array of quotations
selected from eminent authorities on the
question of the nature and characteristics
of alcohol. Among these are names of
men who are known to be Impartial, orig
inal investigators of the latest findings
of science from Germany, Switzerland,
France, England and in our own country;
every one stating clearly that alcohol Is
a poison.
Dr. Adolf FIck, professor of physiology
In the University of Wurtzburg, says:
"Fmm an exhaustive definition we shall
have to class every substance as a poison
which, on becoming mixed with the blood,
causes a disturbance In the function of
any organ. That alcohol Is sucn a sud
stance cannot be doubted." etc
The editor of the Revue Scientific, of
France, says, "we believe that aiconoi
is ever a poison." Dr. Lankester, Sir
WUHnm Gull. Dr. Norman Kerr and
many other eminent English physicians
have expressed similar opinions. Among
American physicians Dr. "William A. Ham
mond, Dr. N. S. Davis, ur. Austin runt,
and manv others, could be added.
In addition to Individual testimony
alcohol Is found to be a poison In stand
ard reference books and dictionaries
Quain's Dictionary cf Medicine, Gould's
Dictionary of Medicine, Biology and Al
lied Sciences, Taylor's Medical jurispru
dence. etc.
Professor Atwater has said in an ar
ticle on alcohol: "The question at is
sue Is Its effects when taken In small or
mof!pr.ite nuantlties ' The eminent Dr.
Horsely, professor of chlrufgy In the
University College, Lcndon. In a recent
lecture said: "From the sclentmc stano
noint total abstinence must be the course
if we are to follow the plain teaching
of truth and common sense." Said Dr,
Koppe in his report to the Russian Com
mission for the Study of Alcohol pub
lished In 1900: "The abuse of alcohol
commences with its use." Dr. H. F.
Hewes. instructor in physiological chm
Istry In Harvard Medical School, Indorses
Professor Horsley s statement, and tur
ther says: "And In the present light of
exuerlence and of scientific Investigation
the school" books must continue to exclude
alcohol from the list of substances deslr
able as foods, and to teach the avoidance
of this substance as a good hygienic rule.
Dr. Max Kassowltz. professor In the Uni
versity of Vienna, says: "For the ani
mal and human organism, alcohol Is not
both a food and a poison, but only
poison, and, like all other poisons, is an
excitant when taken In small doss, while
In larger ones produces death.
could fill columns with these names of
eminently good authority in all countries.
Is It "disgusting," then, for a band of
honest. God-fearing women to believe
these eminently scholarly, scientific men
know what they are talking about when
they have come to their conclusions af
ter laborious research?
A word about the text-books. These
were not compiled by ignorant W. C. T
U. women, but by the co-operation of ex
perts of the highest chemical and physi
ological standing on these special topics,
by exhaustive examinations of print
ed works. In addition to the many
Indorsed books published by nearly
every school book firm In the country,
there is a new series out representing the
researches of young scientists who have
studied the alcohol question unbiased,
making a very exhaustive study of the
whole matter.
The Atwater experiments were expected
to rouse the medical profession to over
throw the study; just the reverse hap
pened. Not a leading medical Journal ac
cepted or defended the Atwater claim, but
many have commanded public attention
by exposing Its fallacies. Professor At
vJater asserted before the superintendents
of schools .In 1900 that he had proved IV2.
ounces of alcohol per day the physio
logical limit to Its beverage use. A com
mittee of seven chosen by these superin
tendents to report to their next meeting
as to the progress of scientific inquiry
on the effects of alcoholic drinks and to
recommend what the schools should leach
on. the subject, reported In February, 1901,
that no evidence found warranted teach
ing the children that alcohol Is a food.
Three medical men, known as opponents
of this Instruction, got themselves chosen
as a committee from a medlcil society
to examine and report on the text-books.
Five years after they were chosen they
published a list of seven statements
claimed to be errors in some SO books.
Five out of seven so-called errors proved
no errors at all, according to expert med
ical authority. The other two, only one
of which was on alcohol, were statements
not sufficiently guarded which had es
caped the vigilant eyes of the author.
and were Immediately corrected. That
only one actual error was found in some
30 books after prolonged research by ac
tive opposers Is in Itself a. good evidence
of the reliability of the books.
Twenty-one of the indorsed books were
submitted to a committee of physicians
of eminence from different parts of the
country, members of the American Medi
cal Association. t6 examine and specifical
ly to point out errors. If any existed. In
1S97 the report was received and pub
llshed. Not a single member of the dls
tinguished committee reported any Inac
curacy, but just the reverse.
Any one really desirous of "truth" can
obtain the statements verbatim of these
experts, and also would do well tQ care
fulhy read the "New Century Study, of
the Alcohol Question," which Is an array
of facts from the most reliable scientists
of this and other countries.
A prominent journalist, of Boston, re
cently said: "You cannot emphasize too
strongly the change In public opinion
against alcohol that has been going on in
this country during the last 15 years
among all classes of business men. Em
ployers of all classes say that alcohol
unfits a man for service of any kind that
requires responsibility or skill. Business
men say they cannot trust the man who
drinks; that alcohol, clouds the brain, and
therefore they will" not employ a drink
ing man. That this changed sentiment is
a. result of an educated public opinion as
to alcohol Is obvious, and that physiolog
ical temperance teaching In the public
school has contributed to produce this Is
self-evident" This statement has been
repeated over and over by many of the
greatest journalists of the day.
In closing let me add one word as to
the assertion that this teaching "culti
vates in children an abhorrence of the
beautiful and useful science of phs'slol
ogy." I am positive from actual personal
observation and Investigation that this Is
a very falsa statement. On tho contrary,
I have found in my trips Over the coun
try as National lecturer "and organizer,
visiting schools of every grade in state
after state, that It has created a great
awakening In the beautiful study of the
"house we live In," and not one In
stance can I recall to the contrary. As
to tne "contempt of the children" engen
dered by the use of tho charts showing the
diseased condition of the liver and other
organs by the excessive us2 of alcohol,
they are object-lessons which make a
marked Impression on the child for good,
as these pictures in the Taggl charts
(which are the ones doubtless referred
to) are taken from the actual bodies of
subjects from the Washington Inebriate
Home.
The history of human progress shows
that when people get a glimpse of the
causes of a preventable evil, the midnight
blackness of error begins to lift and the
dawn of a better era will rise.

CASTELLANE THROWN OUT
CHAMBER OF. DEPUTIES -HOLDS HIS
ELECTION VOID.
Hnshnnd of Anna Gould Wnrns Leg
islators They Will Hear From
Him Again.
PARIS. Nov. 7. After ah exciting do-
bate, the Chamber of Deputies today, by
275 to 238 votes, invalidated the election of
Count Bonl de Ca&tellane as a memoer or
the House. The question came up when
the committee on contested elections pre
sented Its report without recommendation,
leaving the Chamber to pass on the elec
tion. In tho course of his speech, M. Chauvin
declared that Count de Castellane, In
order to warm tho enthusiasm of his par
tisans, abandoned all his reserve and
through his agents gave unlimited credit
In hotels, inns and drinking places until
the district was gay with fetes and mer
riment durlnjr the campaign. The Count
delivered his reply in vehement tones, and
Indignantly repudiated the accusations 01
M. .Chauvin, which be declared were an
attack upon the Integrity and honesty of
his constituency. He explained further
that he had helped some poor working
men's organizations, but that he had
asked nothing in return.
When the president of the Chamber an
nounced the result of the vote the Count
arose and started for the door. His
friends crowded around him shaking his
hand. The business of the Chamber
was suspended temporarily while Count
Bonl was escorted to the exit. Just be
fore he left the Chamber he turned and
shouted defiantly, "Gentlemen, I will be
with you again."
During the debate there was disorder.
The result of the vote necessitates an
other election In the district.
ARBITERS FIXD FOR MIXEOWSERS
French Strikers in Xord District
Will Get .o Higher Wages.
PARIS, Nov. 7. The government arbi
trators today announced their decision
against Increasing the. wages of the
striking miners In the Department
du Nord. The grounds of the decision are
similar to those in the Pas de Calais ar
bitration, namely, that the rates are pro
portionate to the selling price of coal.
The large companies Jn the Nord have
agreed to establish pensions for a term
of five years. Throughout the Pas de
Calais district the strikers are making
noisy demonstrations.
Later reports in the morning rioting re
ported from Lens show that a lively melee
between cavalry and strikers occurred In
the neighboring town of Anzin. Lieuten
ant Duval and two other officers were
hurt, and a cavalryman received a severe
cut on the face. Only the arrival of re
lnforccmente dispersed the strikers.
Six thousand striking coalmlners held
a meeting at Lleven, Department of Pas
de Calais, today. They decided not to ac
cept tho decision of the 'arbitrators
against an Increase of the present rates
of wages and to continue the strike.
Commission to Malce Investigation,
PARIS, Nov. 7. The Chamber of Dep
utles today took up a resolution moved
by M. Rouanet, Radical Socialist, for the
appointment of a commission, of 33 mem
bers to investigate the condition of the
miners and to report upon means to pre
vent economic conflicts. Premier Combes
said the government had no objection to
tho appointment of such a commission,
and the resolution was adopted by 367
votes to US.
SEE DIPLOMACY IX ROYAL VISIT.
Coming ot Knlner and Kinpr of Por
tugal to England Excites ItDinom.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3. Continental
rumor-mongers are still bent upon Im
parting diplomatic significance to the ap
proachlng visits of the German Emperor
and tho King of Portugal, cables the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune. One
point on which the amateur diplomats lay
much stress Is the fact that the Portu
guese Minister In London Is an Intimate
friend of the royal family here, and is In
a position to facilitate tne transfer of
the vast African possessions of Portugal
to England and Germany.
This intimacy does not Imply a willing
ness on the part of the Lisbon Ministers
to court unpopularity by proposing the
alienation of a large section of their co
lonial empire. The grip of Portugal upon
her colonies "has been strengthened since
the loss of the Spanish colonies. Lisbon'
main window looks out upon Madrid; and
Portugal, In selling her East African pos
sessions, would be rivaling the decline
in colonal possessions on the part of Spalg
rne two royal visits win involve enter
talnment on a large scale at Sandrlngham
and Windsor. There will be a series of
state functions at Windsor for the King
of Portugal, with a state banquet In St.
George's Hall, .and possibly a chapter
meeting of the Order of the Garter, which
did not come on last June. The royal
entertainment will not end with the de
parture of the two visiting sovereigns
but will be continued for several months,
all the Ambassadors, Ministers of the
Crown and leaders of smart society being
Invited in turn to parties at Sandrlngham
and Windsor.
SWEEPING E3IIGRATIOX REFORM
Hungary Strikes a" Heavy Blovr at
Steamship Lines.
VIENNA, Nov. 7. The Hungarian gov
ernment has Introduced In the Reichstag
an emigration reform bill of sweeping
character. One of the main provisions of
the bill strikes a heavy blow at the North
Atlantic steamship lines by empowering
the government to route emigrants
through the Hungarian port of Flume. Up
to the present time Hungarian emigrants
have sailed mostly from the ports of Ham
burg, Bremen, Rotterdam and Antwerp
and last year's total of 70,911 Hungarian
emigrants left these ports. The prospec
tive loss to the German and other steam
ship lines sailing from the ports men
tloncd is likely to be even greater, be
cause Austria Is now preparing a bill
similar to the one Introduced by Hun
gary. by which It Is expected to send
Austrian emigrants through Trieste.
The Hungarian bill specifically prohibits
the emigration of certain classes of peo
ple, including men who have not per
formed military service, parents who
leave behind them children under 13 years
of age, and persons without adequate
traveling money, or whose expenses are
paid by foreign states or colonization so-
cietiea Under the bill the government
can forbid emigration to certain countries
entirely or provisionally, and It can pre
vent the emigration of certain classes of
artisans when this Ifi- deemed expedient.
The bill provides strict regulations for
emigrant transportation and for the regu
lation of emigration agencies under" heavy
penalties.
