THE MOSSING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1903.
HOW OREGON WON
Livestock Men No Chance to
Organize Opposition.
FORCES EARLY AND CONSTANT
Marvelous Supply of Applet, That
Could Xot Be Exhausted, llelped
Vh "Win the Convention All the
Papers "Were Friendly.
C. J. Millls, the man who got the Na
tional Livestock Association to come to
Portland next year, arrived home from
Kansao City yesterday morning. He was
so wearied with the strenuous work of the
campaign and the travel that he did not
go to his office at all yesterday. But he
was feftline good over the success of the
Oregonlans and the manner in which they
won It, and he was willing to tell a re
porter how it was done. He demies that
he was entitled to eo large a share of the
credit for bringing the livestock men to
the Pacific Northwest But others, re
jnemborinjr that he had been working a
year toward this end and recognizing that
he was the organizing and directing force
of the whole Oregon campaign, Insist that
he shall have the honor.
In speaking of the trip and work of the
Oregon delegation last evening. Mr. MMis
Eaid:
"The story of 'how it was done' should
properly be prefaced with a reference to
the work accomplished In Chicago a year
ago. which had a most important bearing
on the case and really paved the way to
Kansao City results. But this might be
ancient history and dry stuff, so we will
pick up the thread en route with the
Oregon delegation In its own Pullman, per
'iecting an organization calculated to
strike terror to the hearts of the Philis
tine?. We appointed a headquarters com
mittee systematically to work all hotels
In the city wherever a delegation could
be found; a delegation committee, to labor
with our brethren from other 'states, in
their official capacity, with a view to se
curing early and united support: a. press
committee, to pay special attention to re
porters and with power to 'subsidize'; a
finance committee, etc.. etc In this way
the campaign was planned, the work
specialized and every man instructed.
"At Denver the entire delegation called
on the newspapers and every paper of
Importance in the city surrendered to Ore
gon unconditionally. We explained the
occasion not failing to enlarge upon tho
resources, opportunities and generally fav
orable conditions of Oregon. The results
were very complimentary to our state.
The Times secured a picture of our car
and party, which appeared in its next
irc?ue. Denver is all right
"We learned incidentally through the
Associated Press of the death of our Con
gressman, Thomas H. Tongue. We were
expecting him to join us and make the
nominating speech. The delegation sent
. message of condolence and sympathy
to Mrs. Tongue.
"Arriving at Kansas City Tuesday morn
ing our" party proceeded at once to its
headquarters at the Coates House and
went to work. Everything was ready for
us. A large pleasant room on the ground
floor had been prepared with banners and
signs directing attention to its location.
Badges, ''fruit, holly and Oregon grape
"were soon in evidence. Oregonians
swarmed all over the place and the word
soon passed that the West had broke
locoe. We found many old friends and
made many new ones, enlisting them all
on our side,
"Before the close of the second day all
opposition was pretty well snowed under
and it was our business to keep it there
also the badges were all gone and the
supply of Oregon apples, which created
such a furore and kept our headquarters
thronged, were about exhausted. We sent
out and bought back all the badges held
by susceptible people. We also dispatched
J. W. Bailoy and Richard Scott on a
secret mission and on their return the
apple boxes were again full of lovely red
apples. If any of the delegation enter
tained a suspicion, it was effectually
quieted by the smacking lips that stillsin
sisted, 'None such ever grew in Missouri.'
So the fame of the 'land of the big red
apples' was not allowed to diminish and
the run on our fruit continued without
intermission. Those ten boxes of Oregon
apples fed a multitude of people.
"As soon as practicable we called upon
the South, Omaha delegation at their head
quarters, stated our case and requested
their support This was pledged us by
resolution and we scored 'tally one.' They
were the first to give us official recogni
tion and will not be soon forgotten. Utah,
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Texas,
Idaho and others followed, some early,
others late, and it was then pur business
to keep up the interest and prevent stam
pede. "Early in the proceedings we took care
of the press. We Invited representatives
of all the dailies to a banquet spread in
their honor, which was well attended and
the occasion of much felicitation. It was
noticeable that the Kansas City papers
at all times conceded the fight to Port
land, and this was a great help.
"Our badges, unique and characteristic,
were in great demand and very much in
evidence. Every one carried or implied
a pledge of support.
"The evening before the last day it
looked pretty good to the tired Oregon
lans, but In order to provide against any
possible adverse combination and efforts
In that direction were continuous we ar
ranged for a number of prominent speak
ers immediately to support Portland's
nomination as soon as it should be made.
This list included the Hon. (Sockless)
Jerry Simpson, of New Mexico; Hon.
Frank P. Bennett of Boston; Jesse
Smith, of TJtah; John Davis, of Idaho,
and others from nearly every state In the
Union. The idea was to smother any
attempt to advance other claims.
"Because of the untimely death of Hon.
Thomas H. Tongue, who was to make tho
nominating speech for Portland, that duty
devolved upon a member of the delega
tion, but before time for the final struggle
Portland's strength was toegreat to con
test, and only half a dozen of these sup
porting voices were heard, when all op
position faded away, and amid great ap
plause and enthusiasm the convention de
clared for 'Portland next'
"All the members of the delegation are
equally deserving of mention in this work.
All did their part and all contributed to the
result The patriarch was Richard Scott,
of Multnomah, who steadied 'the boys'
and captured the ladles, while his holly
and Oregon grape lasted. When theso
were gone F. H. Beach assumed the role
of ladles' man and after the first day the
fair eex were his special charge. In this
as In all other matters, Mr. Beach proved
himself the right man in the right place
and was constantly.ln demand. J. W.

the delegation and stood in the breach

various epecialties the rest of us just
worked.
"At the press banquet a visiting speaker
complimented Oregon on the clean feature
of her fight And Oregon has no occasion
to blush for any act word or condition of
her representatives at Kansas' City."
Most of the other members of the Ore
gon delegation will not return until next
"week or later.
The badge which was so popular at Kan
sas City was a gold-colored ribbon with
themaln line, "Oregon." in plain silver let

depended from a pin adorned with a pro

PORTLAND, Jan. 20. (To the Editor.)
A very large number of Catholics read
your valuable paper. For many acts of
courtesy extended to us in the past we
are grateful to you. But why Is it that
every now and then you administer to
us in your editorial columns a nauseating
journalistic emetic? That Is just what
you did in last Sunday' issue of The Ore
gonlan. You gave us a foul-smelling, sick
ening dose, and the label It bore was:
"A Roman Catholic Republic." Not only
have we absorbed the label, but we have
also swallowed the whole miserable con
coction, and, as a result, we have an
acute case of Intellectual cholera morbus.
Yes, sir. we are genuinely sick, and since
you have made us so. without any justi
fiable reason, we respectfully demand
reparation.
Mingled wkh some truth you have given
to all 3'our readers in that editorial a
nasty admixture of error and slander. We
are particularly surprised at your resur
rection of one venerable falsehood. The
Oregonian. the great progressive Ore-
gonian, assumed the appearance of Rip
van Winkle when It presented to the pub
lic last Sunday that foul old calumny
against the Jesuits embodied In these
words: "The end justifies the means."
Truly we hoped that this ancient false
hood had been vo deeply buried in the
quagmires or fossil beds of exploded mis
representations that it could never again
be found by any one whp possessed any
desire to bo veracious. How often must
we aver, declare and swear that the Im
moral teaching contained In the formula,
"the endk justifies the means," is not,
never has been, and never will be a tenet
of the Jesuits, nor of the Catholic church,
of which they form an Integral part?
Again, the writer knows on the best,.of
authority that The Oregonian has grossly
misrepresented Archbishop Ireland when
It stated, by Implication at least that he
is not friendly towards our Catholic
schools. If you will take the pains to
send him a marked copy of the aforesaid
editorial you will doubtless learn from
himself Just where he stands.
You present the Premier of France to
your readers as a patriot, as a ntudent of
the Jesuits, as the possessor of orders re
ceived from the church. Why did you
not add that he Is a miserable old
apostate, a traitor to that church to which
he owes so much? The truth Is that he
Is the executor of one of the most in
fernal sacrileges that France has ever
been guilty of the expulsion of thousands
of her best her most Innocent citizens in
the persons of her exiled religious men
and women.
Again you misrepresent when you say
that these draw their religious author
ity from their own executives and not
from Rome. It would take a small vol
ume to answer properly all the misstate
ments and -sinister Implications contained
in your offensive editorial.
We are puzzled to know whether we
should attribute such articles to m&lice
or to a lack of proper information. If
prompted by the former there is no rem
edy In sight, and if they proceed from
the latter cause, would It not bewell to
consult some well-posted living Catholic
authority before giving us any more
journalistic emetics like the one under
consideration? ' -

THE YAMHILL DIVISION.
Involve a Cat-Off Between La Fny

ted to San FranelKCo.
McMInnvHIe .people want the Southern
Pacific to abandon eight miles of the
Yamhill division between La Fayette and
Whiteson Junction, to build a mile and a
half of new track to connect the Yamhill
division with the West Side division at
St Joe, and then to run. all trains of both
divisions through McMInnvHIe. The mat
ter has been discussed here and referred
to the San Francisco officials of the South
ern Pacific for action.
These two divisions of the Southern Pa
cific run almost parallel with each -other
for a long distance in Yamhill and Polk
Counties. The company would never hava
built the two lines so close together.
But the line that Is now called the Yamhill
division of the Southern Pacific was built

DOG OWNERS "WILL MEET TONIGHT.
. The bob white and California valley Quail are considered the best birds for
successful field trials, and it Is with the object of obtaining about 200 dozen of
these birds for Oregon that the dog owners of Portland will meet In the hall of
the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange, in the Chamber of Commerce bulldlmr, this
evening. Plans will be discussed for the best method of securing and turning
these birds loose In various warts of the state, and the general subject of field
trials will be gone over.
by the Oregonian Railroad Company, and
was part of the system constructed by
"Dundee" Reld. Subsequently the prop
erty fell Into possession of the Oregon &
California, and it Is now under lease to
the Southern Pacific, In tvhlch Interest its
stock Is also owned. La Fayette, on the
Yamhill division; and St Joe, on the West
Side division, are on opposite sides of the
Yamhill River, and the distance between
them is less than two miles. Whiteson
Junction is eight miles south of La Fay
ette and seven miles south of St Joe. On
the Yamhill division there are two small
spurs between La Fayette and Whiteson,
but the local traffic Is Inconsequential. On
the other line between St Joe and White
son is the City of McMInnville, one of
the most Important towns on the west side
of the Willamette Valley.
According to present arrangements it
is Inconvenient for people of the Chehalem
Valley to reach the county seat Mc
MInnville. They are carried right by al
most in sight of the town to the junc
tion, which is four miles away, and there
stay over night and catch a train on the
other line back tq the county seat at 5:50
the next morning. The inconvenience Is
so great that few people travel that way.
Now that both lines are owned and op
erated in one Interest It Is thought by the
McMInnville people that there can be no
objection to Improving the service. The
railroad people see no particular objec
tion, either, but It Involves a change of'
such Importance that It does not fall unr
der the jurisdiction of the local authori
ties. The effect on the charter of the
railroad Is the first thing to be deter
mined; whether the abandonment of eight
miles of track of the old Oregonian Rail
road would work injury to the franchise
for other parts of the- line. If that shall
be found to be clear a survey will prob
ably be ordered to ascertain just what
the, expense 6f making the connection be
tween La Fayette and St Joe would be
and where the line would lie. Then the
matter of the right of way would come In
for consideration. If the McMInnville peo
ple can secure a right of way for trie
connection it will materially aid to bring
about the change. It may be that the
eight miles of track between La Fayette
and Whiteson will not be abandoned, even
If the connection be made at St Joe and
the main trains run that way.
All those details are to be taken up in
order if the authorities of the company
decide to. undertake the change. The ques
tlon of more yard room In McMInnville
will also be involved. There is no doubt
that it would give parts of Yamhill Coun
ty on the Yamhill division more conveni
ent access to the county seat It would
pass another passenger train both ways
through the town dally and increase its
Importance as a trading center. McMInn
ville may be expected to do Its part to
ward effecting the change.
ONE WAY TO EASTERN OREGON.
Snrcsestion. forExtens!on of Oregon
Water Poirer & Railway Line.
PORTLAND. Jan. 22. (To the Editor.)
Referring to the different propositions for
the development of the Southeastern Ore
gon country and placing Portland in a
position to control the trade of this sec
tion, I think the most feasible and profit
able proposition embraced In the follow
ing suggestion: The Oregon WaterPower
& Railway Company has flne and ade
quate water frontage, with best route and
the right of way into the city, quite ex
tensive roads in operation and building
that will develop a country that will pay
a dividend almost from the beginning and
perpetually. Why not, therefore, use. this
same enterprise for the purpose proposed?
By continuing this line from its proposed
terminus on the Clackamas on by Sil-
verton, up Silver Creek to the Mount Jef
ferson Pass, thence on by Prinevllle and
up Crooked River out by Burns to the
southeastern houndary line if necessary
to transcontinental connections at Ogden.
A feeder from near Deschutes to its head
waters and on south to Klamath Falls.
Another from near Crane, in Harney, to
Weiser down the Malheur River, etc.
The possibilities for an independent line
having Portland for its terminus, with
all its interest concentrated here. Is thus
feasible and the most desirable if It could
be accomplished. Comment Is unneces
sary as to the possible development along
this proposed route and Its greater ad
vantages as compared to others. Having
given this matter thorough investigation
and much attention In the past I there
fore call attention to It at this time.
W. T. BURNEY.
STICICXEY DEFENDS HIS CONTRACT.
Gives a ViclunK Jab at the Chicago
Livestock Exchange.
CHICAGO. Jan. 22. At today's meeting
of the Interstate Commerce Commission,
A. B. Stickney, president of the jGreat
Western road, appeared for the purpose
of defending his action In making a seven
year contract with the big packers on
the basis of the greatly reduced rates,
which led to the present Investigation.
FOR FIELD TRIALS
Mr. Stlckney's defense was coupled with
an attack upon the Chicago Livestock Ex
change and upon his competitors, classing
the former as barnacles and the latter as
Oriental savages. In his criticisms of
the Chicago Livestock Exchange, he de
clared that company, whose assets were
a few chairs and an office desk, collected
during 120) commissions amounting to ?3,
500.G0O, against an Income of 52,491,595 re
ceived by the Union Stockyards Company,
and that these commissions amount to
over 40 per cent of the total freight
charges upon the stock brought Into Chi
cago. Vice-President Bird, of the St. Paul
road today answered complaints of the
Chicago Livestock Exchange as to rates
by declaring that the present rates for
carrying live animals from Missouri River
points to Chicaso is too low, rather than
too High.
"Under present rates," he said, "live
stock does not bear Its share of the gen
era! charges."
Mr. Bird's testimony was given before
the Interstate fi-immcra- rmn.i..i.- tt.
thought that without reference to present
competitive conditions, rates on finished
products should be higher than on live-
lu ana ne aamitted that the contrary
rule Is In force on the St Paul road
principally because of the example set by
the Chicago & Great Western line last
August. This example was followed by
most of the Western roads and was the
cause of the present investigation.
Northern SecurltlcN Dividend.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. The directors of

Chinese prisoners was recognized as a

expecting to be taken to jail at Rouse's
Point so that the trial would come before
another Commissioner. His arrest was
made by Marshal Smith, of Ogdensburg,
who brought him here, where full identi
fication was made. The prisoner had
learned English in jail, and recognized the
officers.
Lue Hing, a New York merchant, swore
that he was the prisoner's father, that the
boy was not here at the time of the first
arrest, and. that the prisoner had no Bos
