Newspaper Page TextII THE MORNING OEEGOXIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 2i, 1303. BRADY-IS ALL ALONE Against Alaskan Territorial Government IT;iSf TOO SPARSELY5 SETJLED Seventeen Other Alaskan Are at Commercial Conirxea and. "Will Content 111 a 1'remincii State hood of Indian. Territory. SEATTLE, "Wash., Aug. 20. (Staff cor respondence.) The members of the Trans Mississippi Congress cleaned up nearly" all Of the leftover -addresses today .and also Indulged In a general discussion on a number of other topics, Alaska, with an unevenly divided delegation, for a time promised to shake things up In a lively manner over a territorial government res olution. While the discussion of the resolution is not yet lh order, the place, on the pro gramme for a general discussion of Alaska gave Governor Brady an opportunity to air his views against granting our far Northern possessions a territorial form of government. He protested on the grounds that the territory was as yet sparsely settled in proportion to Its area and that a territorial form of government would be expensive. He believed it advisable to wait a while and secure statehood in stead of territorial rights, which, he said, had always proven unsatisfactory. Seventeen Against Oae. In opposition to the Governor and his theories was a delegation of 17 men from all parts of Alaska, who are decidedly anxious for territorial government. The name following Governor Brady's on the (programme was that of ex-Governor fiwineford, wha was down for a discus sion of "Territorial Government for Alaska." The ex-Governor was evidently primed for an extended philippic against the Brady plan, but when the 20-mlnute rule- was sprung on him ho very disgust edly refused to speak, stating that the time allotted to him was wofully Inade quate for a proper discussion of the sub ject Several other Alaskans made "brief re marks, but the real scrap over the mat ter was probably tided over until tomor row, whon the question will come bnck In the report of the committee on reso lutions. Another similar case which promises to Btlr up some strife tomorrow Is the mat ter of consolidating Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The committee has before it two resolutions, each pretty well backed. One by Mr. Welmer, of Indian Territory, calls for the enactment of a law reading as follows: DIkcuhhIou Over Indian Territory. "That no legislation be made for the territories of the Ave civilized tribes of the Indian Territory, except such as will lead to an Independent state of said territories, at as early a date as possible, as the Con gress and Senate of the United States may deem advisable to grant," Opposed to this proposed law are a. num ber of Oklahoma men who have presented a resolution reading as follows: "Whereas. United Oklahoma and In dian Territory would contain an area of 70,430 square miles, a population of over 1,000,000, 90 per cent of whom are Ameri can citizens, and all the resources of soil, climate, natural wealth and Intelligence necessary to the creation of a great state; therefore, be it 'Resolved, That we recommend the im mediate creation of a single state out of the area now embraced within both these territories." The selection of a meeting place for next year was again brought up for form al action this afternoon, and encountered a slight snag from which, however, it will probably be dislodged without making any chnnge in the choice as announced yesterday, after the roll of states had been called, and St. Louis appeared to be the unanimous choice of the congress. To St. Lonln Conditionally. Tom Richardson blocked matters by calling attention to the fact that the offer of St. Louis was, to a large extent, mean ingless, as the Mlssourlans had failed to ohow that they would raise the necessary coin or that even a hall could be secured at any specified time. He stated that he was In favor of St. Louis, but was not willing to see the matter settled without a more definite understanding and advised that It be referred to the executive com mittee for further action. A resolution to this effect was offered by Devors with the proviso that St. Louis be given the preference in case she raised the money, was passed unanimously. The morning session today was com paratively a tame affair. Several excellent addresses were delivered, but they were of such a nature us to arouse little dis cussion or argument. A. T. "Wright, of Ogdeh.-Utah. read to the congress an in vitation extended on behalf of the Nation al Irrigation Congress, urging members of the Traas-MIssisslppl Congress to at tend the sessions of the Irrigation Con gress, which will be held at Ogden. Sep tember 15 to IS. inclusive. In his invita tion, Mr. "Wright spoke briefly of the im portance of the irrigation Congress, the nature of the work it has undertaken to do, the success which has attended Its efforts, and the elaborate arrangements which have been made for the success of the coming annual congress. Atruinst Philippine Sujrnr. The morning session took up the work where It was so unceremoniously Inter rupted yesterday afternoon by the an nouncement of the possibility of a street railway strike. The chairman called upon Hon. Truman G. Palmer, secretary of the National Beet Sugar Association, to com plete his interrupted address on the Phil ippines. Mr. Truman's address was an argument against the admission of Phil ippine sugar into the United States in competition with the beet-sugar produced in this country. "Good Roads" was the subject of an ad dress by Hen. "W. R. Richardson, of Omaha, secretary of the National Good Roads Association. The address was dis cussed briefly by Martin Dodge, one of the directors of the Good Roads Associa tion: James R. Meikle, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and others. Mr. Richardson was followed by Hon. "Walter Gresham, of Galveston. Tex., who epoke on "The Necessity of First-Class Harbors to the Commercial and Industrial Development of Our Country." "Too American people." said he, "until the last few years, have been too busy extending railroads, building factories, and develop ing their country, to pay much attention to foreign commerce; but now we are opera ting three-ruths of the mileage of the railroads on our trlobe. Our manufactured products are greater than those or Eng land. France and Germany combined; we are raising the largest surplus of bread stuffs, beg products and cotton of any country In the world, and these products are transported within -our borders at a less average cost per tor. than those of any other country. These facts demon strate conclusively the necessity of .the early Improvement of our harbors, upon plans commensurate with the needs of the modern instrumentalities of com merce; that our surplus' products may reach the markets of the world with the least delay and the smallest transporta tion charges possible. We have entered the conte.it for .the commercial supremacy of the world and every facility that the Government can extend must and will be provided "by Congress." Irrigation Is Discussed. Irrigation was the principal subject under fire at the afternoon session and an excellent address was made by George H. Maxwell on the necessity for expan sion In the Irrigation laws. Mr. "Wallls, of Montana, made a pretty strong speech against the private irrigation schemes, and advocated Government control of every ditch In the country. John Henry Smith, a very eloquent speaker and a prominent man In the Mormea. church, gave an Interesting talk on tho early. Irrigation scheme of the Mormons and the wonderful effect they had had In reclaiming the desert. In' the course of his remarks, he paid an elo quent tribute to Brigham Young and whatever the audience might have thought sibout the matter, their admira tion for the earnest, kind-hearted and elo quent oia irrigatlonlst from Utah caused them to give him very generous ap plause. J. E. jDeffenbaugh. editor of the Ameri can Lumberman, of Chicago, delivered an Interesting address on the Trans-Mlssls-sippl lumber production and consumption. ' After adjournment this afternoon a large number of tho delegates were taken over to the new navy-yard. The com mittee oh resolutions is still wrestling with the large number -of documents with which they havo been flooded, and will not be prepared to report much. If "any, before tomorrow noon. "When this re port comes In there will probably be some lively discussions which may prolong tho session itomewhat, although most of the delegates ore anxious to finish their labors and get away. A number of the Portlahders "left for home this morning, and more will follow tomorrow morning. E. W. W. . ADDItEJsS OP IU W. RICHARDSON. Secretary of Good iiondit Convention Rruen Ills Slobby. SEATTLE. "Wash.. Aug. 20. R. "W. Rich ardson, of St. Louis, -spoke In part as fol lows: It is a matter of congratulation that' this congress has given prominence to the sub ject of the Improvement of the public roads. The question was first recognized by this body at its session in Salt. Lake City in 1S97, and at, St. Paul last year reso lutions were adopted, without discussion, recommending modern road legislation for the several states. It is difficult to explain the indifference of commercial Interests to the burdens and Incumbrances upon trade and commerce Imposed by unimproved roads. If con scious of this barrier, they are oblivious to their responsibility and regardless of the remedy, enduring the burden some condition as a fixed habit. From long established custom, the nubile roads are left to the control and manage ment of the rural districts, the towns and cities refusing to share the cost of. their propor improvement, although equally par ticipating in the benefits therefrom. The cyetem under which the riubllc roads are managed Is antiquated,- Inadequate and wasteful, each year repeating the experi ence of the ono before by the expenditure of labor and money, with no permanent good accomplished. The sum of money practically wasted in the attempt, under the present system, to maintain passable roads would be an alarming proposition in any other business of such proportion, pubiic of private, and would call for the most radical and prompt reform. The 1350 counties contained In the trans-Mississippi country expend each year, in money and labor, measured at statutory value, the sum of $21,250,000, a sum one and a third times greater than the entire cost of the Louisiana Purchase territory, and more than 11 per capita for every man, woman and chuu in this vast domain. This sum comes each year from tho agricultural classes, and Is practically wasted, for, with few exceptions, there Is not a good permanent highway in the entire country west of the Mississippi River. Besides the loss of this money, we en dure, through tho alternating seasons of the ear. Impassable mud, insufferable dust, long hills and hollows, bad grades, rocks, ruts, sidings, loss of time, wear and toar of body, mind, clothes, stock, vehicle harness, etc This loss is insignificant, however, when compared with that laid upon the Indus tries of the country by reason of these road conditions. More than i5 per cent of all the traffic carried by railroads, steam snips and other common carriers Is first carted over a primary road. Figuring the cost of transporting the products of the Trans-MIsslssippl States over the roads In their present conditions, and comparing same with the cost over Improved roads, they are taxing the commercial and agri cultural Interests more than $350,000,000 an nually. This estimate Is based solely upon tho cost of transportation under average favorable conditions. i..e question of building permanent highways is of the very highest commer cial importance, and demands the active attention of all business men. The prac tice so long In use of placing the burden of road-making upon the country people Is unjust and Inequitable, and will never se cure improved roads. For more than a century this system has been in vogue, and today less than 1 per cent of the common road mileage is macadamized or surfaced, providing a durable road for all seasons of the year. The present methods are without system intelligent supervision or business management, and. In truth, would not be endured in any other depart ment of our governmental affairs. The removal of the raw material from the forest and field and the mill and tho mine Is the first, and. up to the present time, the most costly and difficult step. There Is not a state or territory that is not retarded In its growth- and develop ment on account- of unimproved highways. It has been stated that the building of steam and electric railroads has rendered the construction of permanent highways unnecessary. This is not true; they have superseded for a time the improvement of our roads, but they can never supply the necessity for them. Tou had just as well assert that the electric car In the city takes the place of the street or sidewalk. There Is almost universal agreement as to the many advantages and the need oi good roads. Tho serious problem Is how to get them. "We have followed the old methods, patching up and mending here and there until It seems almost impossible to conceive that there Is anything better. The nonconcern of tho average business man has prevented him from giving active thougnt to the subject, with a determina tion to solve it. Time and experience has demonstrated that the present system is wasteful and wholly void of beneficial re sults. Our commercial interests require that every business man give support to the movement for durable roads by co operating the municipal and public inter est together with the Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, manufacturing associations, transportation and other business organixatlons with the agricul tural and kindred -interests for the -establishment and maintenance of a compre hensive system of public road Improve ment In their respective states and coun ties. This can be accomplished under what Is known cs the "state aid plan." now in successful operation In the States of New Jersey. Massachusetts. New York and Connecticut. This nlan is based unon th principles that commercial as well as ag ricultural interests are benefited by Im proved highways and equalizes the burden or cost by apportioning the same to the state, -county and district. It provides for a state highway commission or engineer ing department, insuring proper super vision, construction ahd mafntnnTir ant gives to the people. In return for the money expended, good public roads, which they welcome with, growing' appreciation. The office of road Inquiry, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C and the National Good Roads Association nr ready and willing- to old you and to far- aiaa ouiieuns containing technical and general Information touching every phase of the road subject. There Is no acceptable oa wiiy eacn memoer ox this congress should not post himself thoroughly as to the merits of the plan. .and upon his re turn home, by earnest endeavor, inspire his people to adopt the principles applica ble tp his state and put them In -active operation. It has been argued with the persuasive ness of a Paul that the National Govern ment should lend Its old to the -construction of nubile highways. If the Govern ment can expend vast appropriations for the Improvement of rivers arid harbors, lend its aid to build railroads, which are4 but another class of nuhltn hifhu-n-r t It can expend millions of dollars in the rnuipsmes and Porto Jlico, and the moneys of the Cubans in the construction Of wagon roads: if it can deliver thn mnl! signal the weather, modernize farming! losier ana encourage manufacturing by tariffs and aid anil transDortation in dive rs nth AT- irnw tr-haf substantial reason is there lor not giving am uj me Duuaing of road and highways, the most common and useful of all in terests it -can conserve?

ADDRESS OF J. E. DEFEND AUGII, Lumber Consumption and Production Waa His Theme. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 29 J. E. Def- enbaugh. of Chicago, spoke of "Trans Mississippi Lumber Consumption and Pro duction. He emphasized the plea that all should be very slow to discourage the establishment or extension of forest re serves. "I am aware." said he. "that In their establishment hardship may be done to Individuals perhaps to many individuals and that the development of certain coun ties or villages and towns may be checked. But you will also appreciate that our children are going to see a timber famine in this country if we do not In our day and generation do something to guard the supplies we have left and extend them. The danger Is not imminent as far as we are concerned, but as patriotic men, and as men who love our own fam ilies and our neighbors, we cannot consent absolutely to despoil our heritage, which we should hand down. If not undiminished, still an indispensable asset to our suc cessors. "There has been a great outcry of late In the West against some of the reserves and in fact against the entire forest re serve policy. I will not say that outcry is selfish though looked at in a large way It Is for some people and some places are being hurt. No unnecessary damage should be done, but the work must not stop because some people are hurt. Full pecuniary recompense must be made 'or damage to legitimately established Inter ests, and beyond that private Interests and schemes must give way to the public good. "Putting the timber under reservations under the control of the Government Joes not mean that the timber is to be kept from public use. bgt that merely the an nual crop from It will be harvested, leav ing the forest perpetually Intact as a source of supply for the needs of our de scendants. "Forestry now and for many years to come must be carried on by the National or state governments. The rate of interest is too low to attract American business men. But In the long run nothing can be done by tho Government without the con sent of the people. "At present forest reserves are consent ed to on the ground of their Immediate necessity, for the protection of water sheds and as a part of the grand Irriga tion scheme of the West. But a greater reason is the preservation of some supply of timber for another generation. "Without the forests your fertile prai ries and sun-kissed plains are practically uninhabitable. The forests therefore are a double necessity as one of the chief necessities of life and as an aid in the supply of water to the arid or semi-arid regions. No more Important work lies at your hands, therefor, than the upbuild, ing of the lumber Industry and the preser vation of the forests, which go hand In hand In any far-reaching plan of profit able and economic operation." rTJLLMAX FARMERS' INSTITUTES. Series of Ten to Be Held in Sooth west Conntlea of "Waahinsrton. PULLMAN. Wash., Aug. 20. Special.) A series of ten farmers' Institutes are to be held in the ten southwestern counties of Washington early In September, under the auspices of the Washington Agricul tural College.

SALEM, Or.. Aug. 20l(SpeciaL) Prep arations -are nearing completion for the opening of the" greatest State Fair ever held In Oregon. Though the fair is yet four 'weeks distant, everything is being PUt in readiness sn -that thr sshnll Vin nn confusion, or delay when the fair opens. A x rum me entrance to tne grounds, where tho Southern Pacific-Company has erected a new depot and waiting-room, to the farthest side of the grounds, where the grandstand has been overhauled and re paired, there Is evidence- of improvement and renovation. "The fair will be 30 per cent larger than last year, and present Indications are that the attendance will be greater In propor tion," sold W. O. Trine, manager of the grounds, this morning. The "ever-growing Interest, in livestock, the great Increase In the value "of both driving horses and draught horses, have drawn a larger list of animals here this year than ever before. About CO horses are already In the stables and are training on Lone Oak track for the races next month. Forty more har ness horses will be here for the fair, and there will also be on hand about 300 run ning horses, making some 400 horses in all here for the races. Althoiigh the automobile Is fact making a place for Itself in the streets of the cities, farmers have not yet thought of the possibility of doing away with horses, and to meet their special Inquiry many stalls of draught horses will be -on ex hibition. To meet the Increased demand for room, a new stable has been built. The cattle department at the fair has beenrowing in magnitude every year for the last four or five years, and this season it was necessary to build 80 new stalls. New Livestock Pavilion. One of the most Important of 'the new additions to the group of buildings at the fair grounds Is tho stnrir-ii-rfrWnr. n-tvtirnn This structure was well planned, and adds to the beauty of the grounds. It stands in the center of .the stock parade circuit, and is open at "both ends, so that the stock may be led through for the Inspection of the people and the close examination-of the Judges. Tiers of seats ore arranged along both sides, facing ihe central passageway, and extending the whole length of the build ing. Instead of standing out In the hot, dazzling sunlfght, as they have' been com pelled to do in the past, the people mav now sit In the cool shade of the broad roof of me stock-judging pavilion and see tne cattie, horses, goats and other animals as they are led or driven past. No other Im provement that could be made would add more to the comfort and enjoyment of the visitors at the fair than will this new building. Grandatnnd Imirroveu". It is a wonder that the Oregon State Fair has not suffered some such calamity as that by which a number of people were Injured some time ago when a section of the grandstand ccj lapsed at a New York ball "game. Recently the fair management began to repair the underpinning of the grandstand at the race track, and found that the timbers were rotten and ready to break at any moment. Secretary "Wisdom shuddered when he thought of what might have happened almost any time last sea son when the great crowd of spectators was stamping and shouting and surging from side to side as it witnessed the excit ing finish of a great race. But the calamity did not happen, and there Is no longer any possibility that It will happen, for the foundation of the grandstand has been rebuilt, concrete blocks put under the pillars and an earth quake would not now shake down the structure. More convenient means of in gress and egress have been provided, and those who go to the fair to see the races will find that everything possible has been done to provide for their comfort. Large Agricultural Exhibits. Though tho livestock department and the trials of speed will be strong drawing attractions at the fair this Fall, the great est Interest wjll be. as It always is, cen tered In the main pavilion, where agri cultural products, manufactured articles and works of art are exhibited. A suc cessful season In agriculture, the prosper ous condition of all manufacturing enter prises and the growing desire to encour age Immigration are combining to make the exhibits In the pavilion greater this year than ever before. About a dozen counties will have county exhibits, prepared for the purpose of showing visitors at the fair the varied re sources of the section of the state In which the articles displayed were pro duced. People who have recently arrived In this state will be filled with amazement when they see the wide range of products which may be grown upon a single farm in this state, and also observe that the size qnd quality of these products are un surpassed. The fact that tho best of the exhibits at the State Fair next month will be se lected for the Oregon exhibit at the St, Louis Exposition has aroused a keener In terest In this department, and .every sec tion of the state Is trying to win a prom inent place In the state exhibit. All Buildings Renovated. The work of renovation and Improve ment at the fair grounds has extended to the buildings occupied by confectioners, restaurant-keepers and others. Every thing about the grounds is being put into attractive shape, and there will be a new ness and freshness throughout the entire grounds when tho gates open for the fair on September 11. RAMCIX SYSTEM A WOXDER. Fractions Ore Rednced at Small Cost in Short Order. WEISER, Idaho, Aug. 20. Rankin's system of ore reduction, of which so much has been written, and has been at tracting the attention of mining men all over the West, has proved tor be an un qualified success. The Rankin Company has just completed a plant In the Rapid River district in this county, and a test run was made Monday evening. The process is a combination of nitric acid and electricity. More than 500 pounds or nitric acid was made in 14 hours, and a quantity of ore was reduced from the raw material to bullion In 40 minutes. The most obstinate ores can be reduced at a cost of from .52 to $5.50 per ton. The process will reduce any and all kinds of ores. It will revolutionize the cost of mining low-grade ores.

Information has been received here through private sources that charges have been filed against Jay Lynch, super intendent of tho Yakima Indian reserva tion, and that he is slated for dismissal at an early date. No particulars were given as to the nature of the charges. Congressman Jones was asked about the matter, but he said he had not the least Idea- what the nature of the charges is. An Inspector has been at Fort Simcoo for a few days, making an investigation, and it is learned through a friend of the superintendent that whatever might have been the situation the first of the week, it now looks as though Mr. Lynch's offi cial head Is in no special danger. It is learned that the charges are of a nature that is not serious. Only minor Irregularities are alleged. One Is that the superintendent permitted cattle of certain parties to graze on the reservation; another Is that he allowed the school to go down. The charges are alleged to have been made by an enemy employed at the fort, and who has been working for two years to have him oust ed. BUY THUXDER MOUXTAIX MIXE.
