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.

of Agriculture, Washington, D. C and

should not post himself thoroughly as to
the merits of the plan. .and upon his re

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

the Improvement of rivers arid harbors,
lend its aid to build railroads, which are4

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."

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

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.

which he Is the author, and which is
being published by the Government De
partment of Agriculture. His ability so
impressed the head of the department that
he was offered the position of botanist
for the department. He has had the mat
ter under consideration for some time, and
finally decided to accept, and has tendered
his resignation! He will leave for Wash
ington about September 15.
Professor Piper has been with the
Washington Agricultural College longer
than any other member of tho faculty,
having been appointed to the position he
has Just resigned in 1SS2, U years ago,
when George Lllley was president of the
college. He and George H. Watt, profes
sor of pharmacy, are the only two mem
bers of Lllley s corps of professors who
have remained with the school to the
present time. Professor Piper Is a man of
marked ability, and deep regret Is felt
here because of his departure. The new
position which he has accepted pays a
much larger salary than the one he re
signs. Byron Hunter, a graduate of the Wash
ington Agricultural College class of 1S99,
was today appointed assistant agrostolo
gist by W. J. Splllman, head of the Gov
ernment Department of Agrostology, at
Washington, D. C, who Is here looking
after matters pertaining to his depart
ment. Mr. Hunter's territory will Include
the States of California. Oregon, Wash
ington. Idaho and Montana. He will make
his headquarters at Pullman, and will
move his family here from Lewlston.

Superintendent of Ynklma Reserva
tion Committed Irregularities.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Aug. 20.
(Special.) 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
