Secretary Root will determine at onoe whether or not Congressional sanction Is necessary before the state can use Government lands. No ac tion, however. Is probable until the re port of the canal board Is made, which will not be until September. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash I inston. D. C July 22. Unless the Oregon commission charged with the building or. the state portage railroad around The ! Dalles-Celilo obstructions In the Colum I Ma River vigorously renews its request I for the right of way over a part of the Government lands on the south bank of the Columbia River it will probably be HPVfral months before their request Is finally acted upon by the War Depart ment. As the department now views it, there Ms no unusual necessity for immediate action on this request, and for two rea- isons no action has yet been taken on the application of the state through its commission. The "War Department, after conference with Major Langfltt, con cluded that inasmuch as the special Board of Engineers had decided to aban don the Harts project and to substitute therefor a plan for, a continuous canal, lit would be unwise to grant to' the state any privileges -which might be found la ter on to conflict with the purposes of the Government. Delay Until September Certain. Inasmuch as the Government had much trouble In acquiring the old boat railway I right of way. and it is probable that a portion at least of this land may be re- ! quired for the contemplated canal, the de partment decided to grant the state no concession until It ascertained Just how much of this right of way will be needed for the canal. This cannot be known un til the board reports, submitting Its plan I of canal, and from present indications this Teport will not be completed before the first of September, and by some It is i believed it may be a month or even two months later. There Is no objection, In I a moral sense at least, to allowing the state to use such of the Government lands as will not be demanded for the pro posed canal. It was merely a question of avoiding a conflict of interests between I the state and Government, and the pre- cautionary measures adopted naturally resulted in deferring work on the state project. Must Congress Grant Authority! The other consideration that induced Ithe department to take no immediate ac- Ition on the application" of the state was the uncertainty of the officials as to the I right of the Secretary to grant to the state the privilege of using Government lands for its portage road. By some it is laintained that Congressional authority )uld be necessary before the ' state sould build on the Government right of ray. Others maintain that the Secretary lease the lands to the state "for tem porary purposes" for a period not exceed- lg five years. Here again enters the xucstion whether or not the portage road rould be properly classed as a temporary rork. If Tiot, there is considerable doubt rex the authority of the Secretary to en ter into a lease without special authority it Congress. Bo far as the Engineers' Department ia jncerned, its officers are anxious to j.ve the state portage road built. Not 3 nly would it be of assistance to them la ter In the construction of the canal, but it would, afford immediate Tellef to the smmerce of the Inland empire "whose ira- lce they readily recognize, The only loubt they have as to the propriety of lowing the state to use the- Government lands is on account of the possible con- ict between the rights of way of the jrtage road and the new ship canal. ley think, however, that if such a con- lct should be discovered it could be ivcrted before the state actually under 3k the construction of its road, for the it lands needed for the canal will be iwn within a few months. Eagri&eers Are Favorable. The engineers are therefore favorable to rating- immediately the request of the state under a condition which will per il of a change in the route of the port je road, if a conflict should actually be Jlscovered. If the state is ready to pro- eed. under the act of the last Legislature id awaits only the right of way, there is every reason to believe that a strong request for prompt action upon the pend- Ing application would receive favorable ndorsement from the Chief of Engineers id would Immediately go to Secretary at for bis action. Then if the Secre- uy finds that he has authority to grant the right of way, either outright or as a he would undoubtedly act favor bly. At any rate, semi-official assurance given that if the state makes it plain Ea the department that it is ready to go to work and awaits only this authority from the department, the case will be disposed of without unnecessary delay. and Secretary Root wJM finally determine whether or not Congressional sanction Is necessary before the state can use the Government lands. The right-of-way question may delay work on the Portage Railway between The Dalles and Celilo. So far as those owners of private lands affected by the enterprise are concerned, it is believed no trouble will be experienced by the state In securing permission to construct the proposed road. But trouble will be made by the railroad Interests affected by the railroad. The - proposed plan of Engineer Ham mond, which has been approved by the State Commission, provides for crossing Government land and also of encroaching upon the right of way of the Oregon Rail road & Navigation Company. These are two points where the railroads -can make trouble, and there is no doubt but that they will avail themselves of the opportunity. There has been no authoritative state ment from O. R. & N. officials relative to their action on the Portage Road. Of ficials of that line will not speak of the question for publication, and there is every reason why they should be guarded in their discussion of the enterprise. It is generally understood, however, that the O. R. & N. proposes to resist the at tempt of the state to build the Portage Road over a portion of the O. R. & N. right of way. The O. R. & N. has been held all along to be oppoeed to the new line, and the action of that road in de clining to give any information relative to the boundaries of Us rights of way to Engineer Hammond is indicative of the future action of the road.. Moreover, rail road men In position to know the situa tion declare that the Harrlman interests are determined to fight. This will necessitate condemnation suits to securethe right of way for the state's road. The O. R. &. N. will resist the suit on the ground that its construction seriously Interferes with the operation of trains and prevents betterments along the lino where the state would crowd the O, R. & N. Upon this pretext the railroad could probably succeed In delaying con struction work for some time and might even make the costs run up above the limit set by the last Legislature. If this could be done, the company would have gained something in a temporary defeat of the project. The influence of the company is likely to be felt in a movement against the ap plication of the Portage Road for per mission to cross the Government property along the proposed right of way. Influence at Washington, exerted by the Harrlman Interests might be sufficient to delay con struction work for a time. That the Portage Road la certain to meet railroad opposition has already been demonstrated. The effort to defeat the project by invoking the referendum Illus trated the opposition of the railroads. It was regarded as an open secret at the time that the railroads were back of this movement and that it was put forward for no other purpose than that of delaying the proposition. The Portage Road cannot be completed and In operation before the middle of the Coming Winter. This would be a great relief to the gralngrowers of Eastern Ore gon and Eastern Washington, and would affect this season's crop. Incidentally It' would, mean a reduction of railroad earn ings within a comparatively short time. Naturally the roads will endeavor to im pede progress as much as they can. BIG CROWD AT GLADSTONE FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTEND CHAUTAUQUA SESSIONS. Robert J. Bardett Gives His Last Lecture Champ Clark Come Tomorrow. GLADSTONE PARK, July 22? (Spe cial.) Five thousand people attended the Chautauqua exercises today and enjoyed themselves. Mrs. Harriet Colburn Saun derson had as spectators for her splendid Greek tableaux and posturing tonight one of the largest crowds that has gath ered this season under the roof of the big wigwam. Young ladles of the Chau tauqua assembly represented the figures. Mrs. Saunderson also gave several reci tations In a style that was enthusiastical ly applauded. Miss Edna Gates and Miss Helen Goss rendered vocal solos. The principal attraction of the after noon in the wigwam was Rev. Dr. Robert J. Burdctte's lecture on "Good Medicine." More than 3000 people heard him, all the benches being occupied and hundreds of chairs -were brought into the aisles. The lecture abounds in good stories and anec dotes and greatly pleased tho audience, as the speaker passed "from grave to gay, from lively to serene." He said thero Is plenty of sympathy for people In East txth street. A physician was called to attend her. Tuesday night he had threatened td throw her trunk out of the house and drive her away, but was pre vented by her mother. Last night when tho girl came home the brother struck her a heavy blow in the face and would have followed it up had he not been prevented by his mother. A neighbor said the boy would probably have killed her but for her mother. Mrs. Patrick Is" a widow. CHANCE FOR ALASKA TRADE Portland Is Urjced to Get Its Share of Baalacas.

The Board was ordered to appear and show cause today at 2 o'clock why an TWO COMPANIES MERGED. Washington Railway fc Xarlgation Company In Incorporated. The Washington Railway fc Navigation Company has been incorporated by the Northern Pacific to take over the Wash ington & Oregon and Portland, Vancouver & iaklma Railroad Companies, which the Northern Pacific organized a few years ago to build new lines cn the north side of the Columbia River. Railroad officials contend the organization of the new com pany Is simply an action taken for the purpose of simplifying matters. The contractors are still at work upon the road the Northern Pacific is building into Vancouver., This will be completed by August 15, and then the Northern Pa cific will have its line from Kalama into Vancouver and 30 miles of road running out of the latter town into -the timbered districts back of Vancouver. The road is being rushed to completion for the pur pose of enabling the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company to begin active operations. With the exception of a continuation of the timber lines constructed by the North ern Pacific for the benefit of the Weyer haeuser Company, none of the plans out lined as follows by the articles of Incor poration of the Washington Railway & Navigation Company will be put into lm mediate execution: To build a line from Portland, crossing the river near Vancouver, following the north shore to Kalama, thence north through Cowlitz, Lewis, Thurston, Pierce and King Counties; to build a line from Kalama west along the north side of the Columbia to the Pacific Ocean: a line from Vancouver northeasterly through Clark, Skamania, Klickitat and Yakima Counties to a junction with the Northern Pacific at Yakima: to build & line up the north bank of the Columbia from Van couver, through Clark, Skamania and Klickitat Counties, Joining the Northern Pacific at or near Pasco.

The success of Professor Samuel Langley's Invention for aerial navigation will be put to a practical test within a short time. With C. R. Manley and several assistants, he Is patiently wait ing for favorable gweather conditions, and as soon as all Is ready the most interesting of all mechanical tests will be made. With the professor are a number of scientists, who, are awaiting an opportunity to make observations from their standpoint All visitors are denied access to the aerial machine, and neither Professor Langley or Mr. Manley will give out any details regarding the mysterious apparatus. The only thing made public is the firm conviction of these gentlemen in the ultimate success of the airship. Mr. Manley will be accorded the honor of handllnk the flying machine on the event of Its Initial flight. He. as Professor Langley's first assistant, has been closely associated with his chief for a number of years, and quite naturally has unbounded confidence In the Issue of the -first demonstration of the machine's qualities. The first flight will be made over the water, following the course to be pursued by the machine will be a launch tow ing a float, so as to be on hand when the atmospheric flyer plunges Into the water. From a houseboat, when all is ready for the test, the big machine, moved by huge wings and rapidly, revolving propellers operated by compact and powerful engines, is expected to rise, pursue an almost direct course and mount the air for about 15 minutes. Nothing additional will be given out until the experiment is made. PORTLAND, July 22. (To the Editor:) I find in a small manual on civil, govern ment, by W. C. Hewitt, page 79, the fol lowing language concerning the first ten amendments to the United States Const! tution: "It should be carefully borne In mind that the amendments generally relate to the jurisdiction of the United States, and not to the jurisdiction of several states. So far as the amendments of the Constitu tlon of the United States are concerned. the various states might establish religion and prohibit the free exercise thereof, might quarter soldiers upon the people, might make unreasonable searches and seizures, and might require excessive bail and Impose cruel and unusual punish ments." The second chapter of Article VI of the Constitution reads as follows: "This Con stitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the Judges In every state shall be bound thereby, anything in tho Constitution or laws of any state to the' contrary notwithstanding." Now I understand that an amendment to the Constitution has as much force and effect as though it was a part of the original document If one state could prohibit the free exer cise of religion and inflict cruel and un usual punishments, all might exercise the tame right and what would have been gained by putting such prohibition in the Constitution? The eighth amendment says: "Excessive ball shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual pun ishments inflicted." This amendment was made the basis of an appeal to the United States Supreme Court by the attorneys for the first man sentenced to be electrocuted in New York. I cannot see how Mr. Hewitt can be right; but as he is a professor in the Osh kosh (Wis.) State Normal School, and the author of the book from which I quote, a text "book on civil rovernment of the United States for common schools, he Is supposed to know whereof he speaks. The book is published by H. R. Pattengill of Lansing, Mich. The matter is respectfully referred to The Oregonian. ARCH. THOMPSON". poem, "Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone." Mr. Burdette said: "It is worth nothing to worry; anybody can worry. The only way to stop worrying is to stop. There Is not as much trouble In the world as there ought to be so that we might be hap pier.' Let laughter be part of your reli gion. There are two days In the week in which I won't worry. They are yesterday and tomorrow. Make this your own rule. I want you to remember this. It is my whole philosophy. Learn to make the sun shine on the north side of tne nouse where it never shines. You can do it. A merry heart doeth good like a medl- slne." Schiller's Lead for Pennant. Several thousand people saw the ball game in the afternoon between the Schil ler and Chemawa teams. The Indians failed to make their usual good .showing, and the game was the Schiller's from the first inning, though it furnished plenty of amusement- The score: Schiller, 10 runs, 12 hits, 7 errors; Chemawa, 4 runs, 9 hits, S errors. Golns and Gaines were the battery for the victors and Lucas and Morris and Tebeau for the Chemawas. The Schlllers now have a good lead In the Chautauqua pennant race, having won three straight games.

Tomorrow will be "Recognition Day." The graduating' exercises of the Chautau qua class will take place, though they may be somewhat curtailed owing to the omission of the address on "The blm ple Lite" by Rabbi Stephen S.

The Chautauqua Alumni Association will have a meeting on the platform of the wigwam immediately after the after noon programme. Champ Clark First Lecture. The first lecture by Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, will be deliv ered Friday nfternoon on the subject: "Picturesque Public Men."

"My mother died of consumption Ave years ago," said Miss Johannah Good win, of Northbridge, Mass.,- "and I thought I was going into the same dis ease.

They helped me before one box was used up, and in less than two months I was well and strong1 again, entirely cured." The disease from which Miss Goodwin suffered was anaemia, or "bloodless ness," and is caused by an actual de ficiency of the blood and a watery and depraved state of that fluid. It is char acterized by a pallid complexion, pale Hps, dull eyes, tongue and gums blood less, shortness of breath on slight ex ertion, especially upon going upstairs, palpitation of the heart, feeling of im pending death, weakness, loss of appe tite and ambition. If left to Itself, It la apt to result in decline and death. The one remedy that has proved It self a specific for anaemia is Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These pills have a double action, on the blood and on the nerves. This is the secret of Dr. Williams discovery, and is the cause of the wonderful cures in several cases . of locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head ache, after-effects of the grip, palpita tion of the heart, pale and sallow com plexions and all forms of weakness, either In male or female.
