HAS GONE TOO FAR
Creation of New Forest Re
serves Should End,
IS MR. 'WILLIAMSON'S OPINION
Eastern Theorl-its Are Carrying the
Poller Too Far for Practical Use
B&d Injure the Suten, Says
Oregon'ii Representative.
Representative to Congress J. X. "Will
iamson declared last night that creation
of the proposed forest reserves in Oregon
will be very unfortunate lor the state.
Mr. Williamson came down flat-footed in
opposition to the policy "which the In
terior Department has inaugurated in
Oregon.
"This smearing of reserves," said he,
"over one-fourth of the map of the state,
promiscuously and arbitrarily, without
regard to the welfare of the communities
affected, is what I call abuse of the for
est reserve policy. The Cascade reserve
has been and will be a benefit. Certain
regions of the Blue Mountains might
also be set aside to advantage. The re
serve system well used should be com
mended; abused it should be condemned."
The theory of forest reserves Mr. "Will
iamson approves. "Wise application of the
theory he commends. But he thinks that
Eastern enthusiasts have allowed the
theory to cover up many of the practical
aspects of the question in this state. The
paramount need of Oregon is the devel
opment of more resources and the enlarg-
ment of fields of industry. "When the
Eastern theorists," remarked Mr. "Will
iamson, "see us arguing the practical side
of the questlop and trying to hedge their
Ideas with practical limitations, they call
us cannibals.
"The man who understands the needs
of this state sees that Its progress will be
retarded by creation of the proposed re
serves. The reserves are intended os
tensibly to promote progress, but they
remove the means of attaining the very
object they aim at. Their purpose is the
upbuilding of the commonwealth, but
their effect Is the repression of the ener
gies that upbuild the commonwealth.
"Consider, for example, the proposed
reserve in Northern "Wallowa County.
All the valuable timber in that withdraw
al is already in private ownership. "What
good can come of depriving the. persons
who own those lands of owning the in
tervening lands? "Why not permit de
velopment to proceed, the timber that Is
available to be sold and the lands to be
devoted to agriculture, livestock and
other uses?
"Then consider the proposed reserve in
Southwestern Oregon. As in Northern
"Wallowa, there the valuable timber is al
ready owned by Individuals. What good
can come of reserving the intermediate
'scab lands In a section of Oregon which
already has enough and too much mois
ture? "Kow look at the proposed reserve in
Southern Crook County and Northern
Lake and Klamath. The good lands are
all taken up and the poor lands, whose
use Is necessary to the development of
the good, are to be reserved. Industrial
projects are hesitating. In doubt about
the privileges they will have on the In
termediate lands. Why put such a ban
on progress in a region whose energies
are striving to get loose?
"The policy behind the creation of these
reserves is altogether wrong. Its objects
are ill-advised. Its effects are misjudged.
"People In Interior Oregon don't know
what to make of It. And their grievance
Is the same as that of the people of all
"Western States. I tell you that this re
serve business is getting to be a live Is
sue. It is the substance of the conversa
tion of all classes of citizens. And when
so many persons raise protest, they are
to be reckoned with. Hundreds and thou
sands of acres are withdrawn that are
not sources of water wupply. Miles and
miles of land are withdrawn that contain
dry sand or scattered pines. And yet
preservation of water supply is the pre
text -of their withdrawal.
"We've gone far enough creating re
serves. Now let's stop."
Mr. Williamson drew attention to the
fact that Oregon is entitled to more than
J3.000.000 of the reclamation fund for irri
gation projects. About $900,000 of this was
collected In this state from sales of land
under the timber and stone act. and from
commutation of homestead entries in the
first year of the new irrigation law. Last
year the collections were more than
52,000.000.
"Now," said Mr. Williamson, "let's have
several big irrigation projects In Oregon;
not one or two surveys and a few with
drawals, but actual construction. The
people of this state have a right to ask
that the Government begin this "work at
once. This matter should be one of the
chief cares of the Oregon delegation at
Washington next Winter. We members
of Congress from Oregon are no good if
wo can't pet one or two projects started
here."
Mr. Williamson added that the delega
tion should be "rawhided" If it should
fall of success.
"But, he remarked, 'rawhided is a
pretty strong word, and I presume er
ah that it wouldn't look well in print.
Just the same it's my sentiment."
INSTITUTE AT NEWPORT.
Discnsnion of Phynienl Conditions of
th AborlKlnen.
NEWPORT. Or.. Aug. 2L (Special.)
The Pacific Indian Institute devoted yes
terday largely to discussion of the physi
cal conditions of the Indian race. Con
sumption, scrofula -and other tubercular
diseases that rapidly populate the ceme
teries of Indian schools were commented
on. Many ascribed the present mortality
to the theory that the Indian is being
civilized too rapidly. The transforma
tion from tepee life to Indoor sedentary
pursuits has been too sudden for the
constitution of many of the tribes. Then
the quasi civilisation of the reservation
tribes permits the children to xe five
days in the school and two days each
week nmld the squalor of the wigwam.
Dr. Whetmore, physician at the Silelz.
believes that the physical condition of the
Indian is returning to that vigor ami
strength characteristic of the type of In
dian that was found when the continent
was discovered. Dr. Pierce, of Chem
nwa, believes that many tuberculous con
ditions of the Indian may be corrected If
taken under medical care in time. In
speaking of the diseases of the lymphatic
glands he expressed th boHef that the
disease is not hereditary. He thinks,
however, that children born of unhealthy
parents have a lack of resistive power
and easily fall a prey to disease ef what
ever nature.
The Importance of plenty of water In
education of the Indian was often em
phasized by various speakers, some stat
ing that pure water is the salvation of the
Indian boy. and that he must not be per
mitted to pursue his studies without first
giving attention to his toilet.
A strong address was given by Colonel
E. Hofer. of Salem, in which the speaker
advocated Bible methods of teaching the
Indian.
Supervisor ChaJcraft, now located in
Colorado, expressed the belief that one of
the most effectual means of raising the
standard of Indian citizenship is to raise
the standard of Indian schools, and that
the conventions held at Newport have
shown to the Indian Department that the
standard of Indian schools may be raised
by convenient and frequent sessions of
the leading spirits in the educational
work.
National Superintendent of Indian
Schools Keel favors the continuance of
the Indian institute. She says the Inter
est each year increases in these "meet
ings, which are found to be of much good
to the teachers of the Indian, service.
Miss Reel states that the Indian Office at
Washington is much pleased with the
progress made by the Oregon Indian
schools, and especially Chemawa, where
about TOO children are carefully taught
all that pertains to a good business ed
ucation, and states that all credit for the
excellent results of the Newport Insti
tute are due Superintendents Potter and
Campbell, who have worked untiringly to
make these meetings a great success.
Superintendent Keel is strong in praise
of the benefits derived by the teachers
in attendance at the Pacific Coast Insti
tute, and that at no other meeting places
have attractions been so great and va
ried. The interest and enthusiasm of this
'Newport meeting has been kept alive by
the earnest efforts of Suprintendents Pot
ter and Campbell, who have labored early
and late to make the meeting a great suc
cess. Miss Keel states that nowhere in the
United States can be found so beautiful
a beach as that at Newport, and predlctsJ
umi sxiuuiu uje .auvmii x.uucauunai as
sociation meet in Portland the attendance
-of the Indian Department will be the
greatest ever known.
An article in The Oregonian referring
to the National Educational Association
for Portland was mentioned In the great
auditorium, on which occasion General
Superintendent Reel expressed the opinion
that this is the time for Portland to
make an earnest effort to obtain the next
meeting of the National Educational As
sociation, and that possibly while the
attendance will not be as great as that
in Boston (27.000). yet a large body of
teachers will be desirous of visiting the
Pacific Coast, and that an attendance of
at least 15,000 may be expected, and that
all efforts should h,e put forth to obtain
this meeting, as that In 1903 the directors
of the National Educational Association
could not afford to visit Portland, as the
round trip fare which the Lewis and
Clark Fair will undoubtedly obtain would
prevent, the educational meeting from ob
taining their annual J2 which they have
in addition to the one fare which has been
customary in the past. and. as stated
above, this is the time for all to unite in
obtaining the meeting.
TIDE LANDS HAVE VALUE.
Owner Along- Columbia IUver Are
Looking to Their Title.
ST. HELENS. Or., Aug. 21. (Special.)
The value of tide lands along the Columbia
River front in this county Is looking up,
and persons who. own property abutting
on these lands are busy perfecting the title
to the same. The property-owners on
Deer Island have had County Surveyor
"Watts employed for several days survey
ing and platting the tide lands In front of
their possessions, and will at once take
steps to secure a good title from the state.
A number of years ago the tide lands in
this county were considered of little value,
and persons were careless about perfect
ing their claims to tide lands on adjoining
premises, and the result Is some litiga
tion. There Is a special value in tide lands
favorably located for mill sites and docks,
which Is now beginning to be appreciated.
KOAD MASTER BADLY IXJUItED.
Railroad. Bicycle I Derailed on
Sharp Curve on Southern Pacific.
ASHLAND. Or., Aug. 21. (Special.)
Southern Pacific Roadmaster L. WIeland
received possibly fatal Injuries this morn
ing by the derailment of a railroad gaso
line motor velocipede near Upton, south
of here.
In company with Peter Shultz and Sec
tion Foreman Bird, all employes of the
company, he was rounding a sharp curve,
when the velocipede Jumped the track
and all three were thrown off. with Shultz
under the car. WIeland received the most
serious lnlurles. He was taken to Mon
tague, and had not. recovered conscious
ness this evening, and it is feared ho re
ceived dangerous internal Injuries.
Shultz and Bird both received severe
injuries, but It is thought are not dan
gerously hurt.

INDRAVELLI IS IN PORT
BRIXGS PinST SHIPMENT OP YEW
CROP PIXEAPPJLE5.
Fall Cargo ot Miscellaneous Freight
for Portland ana tbe East WUi
Take Oat Flour.
The Portland & Asiatic liner Indravelll
arrived up shortly after midnight and
berthed at Alaska dock, where she will
begin discharging 3000 tons of Oriental
cargo this morning. The steamship
reached Astoria at 9:30 yesterday morning,
having made the run down from Victoria
in leas than 20 hours. At' the British Co
lumbia port she landed 40 steerage passen
gers and the same number were brought
to this port. Of the cargo aboard the
Indravelll, 1000 tons Is ior Eastern ship
ment, 700 tons for San Francisco and 1300
tons for Portland and other Coast ports.
The freight for the East consists largely
of tea and matting; that for Coast points
of gunnies, sulphur, clay and Chinese
merchandise. An important item on the
manifest Is a shipment of new-crop
canned pineapple from Singapore.
The early arrival of the Indravelll will
probably permit her to leave back on her
scheduled time, August 2S. She Is assured
of a full cargo westward, nearly all of
which will be flour, and It is likely that
the shipment of this product beats all pre
vious records.
WRECK WAS BURNED.
Savage of Forznoao Destroyed Otelln
Pedcraoa to Get Iron.
The handsome new four-masted
schooner. Otelia Pederson. which was
abandoned last October In Asiatic waters
with a cargo of more than 1.005,00) feet of
lumber on boanl, has been burned by tbe
savage Inhabitants of Formosa, who re
sorted to this method to obtain from the
hull the rich harvest of Iron and steel
which entered Into Its construction. News
of the schooner's fate has been received
In a communicatiton to the underwriters
from the Japanese government. Six hun
dred thousand feet of the vessel's cargo
is piled up on the Formosa beach, and
unless the Insurance people make prompt
arrangements for securing It, the Japa
nese government will take possession. As
the location of this salvage is very re
mote, it Is more than likely that no ef
fort will be made by the underwriters to
recover It, The loss has been paid and
will be pocketed with as much philosophy
as possible, and all that will remain of the
Otelia Petijrson, as Jar as the Occidental
world is concerned, will be the memory of
her desertion by Captain John C. Hansen.
The Otelia Pederson, bound from the
Sound for Hongkong, with more than 1,
000,(00 feet of lumber, for a new dock at
Hongkong, had her rudder carried away
In a typhoon. The disabled vessel was
spoken by the United States gunboat
Princeton, the Commander of which of
fered Captain Hansen all the assistance
he might require for the rigging of a Jury
rutUer. The carpenter of the Princeton
prepared plans for a temporary steering
apparatus, and from the crew of the gun
boat were selected a number of skilled
mechanics to carry out the design and put
the big schooner in condition to be navi
gated to port, but a few hundred miles
away. Captain Hansen declined the
Princeton's offer, but. accepted the Navy
Captain's hospitality, and, leaving his
vessel to her fate, went with his crew on
board the gunboat and was carried to
Hongkong.
The derelict Pederson was next sighted
off the coast of Formosa. A Japanese
gunboat was sent after her. The schooner
had beached herself on a desolate part of
the southeast coast of the Island. The
Commander of the gunboat had the cargo
taken ashore, where It still awaits a
claimant. When the gunboat went away
tho savages who Inhabit the Island
boarded the wreck and, finding much pre
cious iron and steel lmbedcud In her
frames, set fire to the hull. The wood was
consumed and the metal Is now In com
mission in the form of weapons of war
fare. SOME OVERDUE SHIPS.
Reinsurance Quoted on the AriMide
and the Madeline.
The British ship Aristides. S7 days out
today from Caleta Buena for San Fran
cisco, has been posted on the overdue list
at 10 per cent reinsurance. The French
ship Madeleine, 179 days from Antwerp for
Tacoma, has been posted at the same
rate.
The fears entertained for the safety of
the overdue American ship Helen Brewer
are Increasing, and the general opinion
holds that the vessel has been lost. The
Helen Brewer is now 175 days out from
Sourabaya for Delaware Breakwater, and
since the day of her departure from the
Javanese port no word of her has been re
ceived. The ship should have arrived at
her destlnatlton more than a month ago
under ordinary circumstances. Her long
passage Is causing all the more alarm be
cause of the fact that she had orders to
call nt St. Helena and has failed to com
ply with tho orders. The reinsurance on
the vessel at present stands at S3 per cent.
The rates on her at one time were at 90
per cent, but the heavy play caused the
reinsurance to drop. Many thousands of
dollars have been played, on the ship by
speculators, who have backed the vessel
to arrive.
The Helen Brewer left Sourabaya with
a cargo of sugar. On leaving the harbor
she ran ashore and stuck fast In the mud
for several hours. The vessel was finally
towed clear and proceeded on her voyage.
She may have sustained damage which
caused her to spring a leak at sea,- and
the fear that such has been the case has
caused the reinsurance to rise rapidly.
"WORK OX THE DRYDOCK.
Vancouver Plant Will AftcrrrnrdB Be
Uncd for Shipbuilding.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 21. (Spe
claL) The building of the Port of Port
land drydock is progressing better, and
three of the pontoons have been placed In
the river. The two remaining ones are
under way. It will be sex'eral months,
however, before the pontoons will be com
pleted. At first It was thought that the
dock could be completed by August of
this year, but a lack of material last
Spring delayed matters for a time. Still,
the contractors have the work well In
hand, and will finish the work in due
time. At present the workmen are buslly
engaged In placing the siding on the pon
toons, and the steady pounding of the
steam hammers can be heard right along.
The payroll averages about $2500 monthly.
Nearly all the men employed are experi
enced workmen and get good wages.
When the present contract Is completed
the plant will be used to build ships and
boats of various kinds, the location being
particularly adapted for the purpose.
LowWntrr on the Yukon.
A circular has been Issued by the White
Pass & Yukon Railway calling attention
to the fact that the special commodity
rates In force will expire on August 31.
The notice to shippers and connecting
lines reads as follows:
"Owing to low water In the Yukon
River, the outlook for navlgatlton this
Fall is fcpd. Even now. navigation Is dif
ficult and the river boats cannot go
through with full cargoes. Shippers' at
tention should.be called to this, and the
expiration of the 'special commodity rates'
on August 3L A Fall rush is anticipated,
and shippers can realize the necessity of
forwarding through goods as early as pos
sible, otherwise there will be a large
amount left over at "White Horse."
Dredging Below Vnncouver
VANCOUVER, Wash.. Aug. 2L-(Spe-clal.)
The ship Two Brothers Is partly
loaded at the dock of the Columbia mill.
She has on 730.000 feet of lumber and will
complete her cargo to 1.200.000 feet. At
the present time the Northern Pacific
dredge is at work at the mouth of the
Willamette dredging out the bar -so that
the vessel can go down. Until the bar
Is dredged the vessel will remain here,
but she will get away within two- or three
days. As loaded now the vessel draws 19
feet, but when the complete load is on
she will draw 24 feet.
The schooner J. M. Coleman will arrive
tomorrow at this mill and load for San
Francisco. She will take on about SOO.000
feet. As the mill will start up Monday,
her load will be completed in a short time.
When the bar Is dredged out no ,trouble
will be had in getting vessels over and up
here. Six feet has been taken out, and
several feet more will be taken out, thus
giving the vessels plenty of water.
Shipbuilding la Great Britain.
From the returns compiled by Lloyd's
Register of Shipping, excluding warships,
there were 426 vessels, of L02S.099 gross,
under construction In the United King-,
dom at the. close of the quarter ended
June. Of these, 401 were steamers with a
gross tonnage of 1,021,011. and 23 sailing
ships with a gross tonnage of 70SS. The
return shows an increase In tonnage under
construction of about 54,000 tons as com
pared with the tflgures for the previous
quarter, but a decrease of about 3S3.000
tons as compared with the total reached
in September, 1901. -which is the highest
on record.

BETTER THAN A YEAR AGO
Fall Jobbing Trade Starts Well in
tbe East.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21. Bradstreets tomor
row will say: Weather and crop conditions
are still the keynote to Fall trade. In the
Northwest, Southwest and South, buyers are
taking hold energetically and reports, as a
whole, are as good or better than at year ago.
In the East, Fall Jobbing has started In well,
though perhaps not so active as hoped for.
Some soft spots are. however, noted in this
Central Western sections, 1ft which crops
yielded lighter than hoped for. The retail trade
Is seasonably quiet and collections are re
ported backward In a number of instances.
Among the great Industries, few Important
changes are noted. One of the notable devel
opments Is the general softening of pig iron
prices, following the heavy buying of two
weeks past. Fewer industrial operatives "ana
on strike now than for months past, but the
Idleness of cotton-mill operators tends rather
to Increase. The lumber trade Is active West
and North, but In the East It has not as yet
recovered from the depression Induced by la
bor troubles, now about drawing to a close.
Shoe manufacturing is now active the country
over, and Eastern shipments are breaking all
records. Railway earnings for the first half
of August continue to show good gains. The
Eastern jewelry trade Is quiet for the season
and the labor situation Is not a very clear one.
Leather is reported firm but quiet.
Weakness In Southern foundry iron Is noted
at Eastern markets, and Bessemer pig Iron Is
reported offered $1 per ton lower at Pittsburg
than a week ago, with supplies for immediate
delivery more In evidence. Large buying of
pig Iron is less noticeable than it was one or
two weeks ago, but quite a lot of small orders
have been booked. Steel billets are less ac
tive but fairly firm. Merchant bars, sheets
and plates In finished products are reported In
much better call, but the demand for struc
tural material Ir light, particularly reflecting
recent labor troubles. Copper was marked up
this week, partially, it. Is thought, to affect
the stock market quotations, but some large
sales below the official prices are reported.
Wheat. Including flour, exports for the week
ending August 20 aggregate 3,372,765 bushels
against 3,413.10 bushels last week; 5,054,739
this week last year; CG0C9S0 in 1W1 and
2,695.163 In 1P00.
Business failures In the United states for
the week ending August 20 number ICS against
1G0 last wee; 1S1 in the like week of 1902;
181 In 1001. 135 In 1900. and 154 In 1S8. In
Canada, failures for the week number 14 as
against 17 last week and 23 In this week a
year ago.
NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
Normal Influences Are Gradually
Prevailing.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Business Is well maintained, aside from the
quieting Influence of the vacation season,
which somewhat restricts trade and retards
collections. Making -due allowance for the
period, there Is no cause for complaint. The
adverse factors that have been operating
against prosperity in recent preceding weeks
are no longer as potent, normal Influences
gradually prevailing. Labor controversies still
exist, curtailing the output of a few products
and the consumption of all the necessaries of
life. Crops are not going to market as freely
as usual, although the agricultural outlook
Is distinctly favorable.
In spite of several obvious reasons for ex
pecting a check to freight traffic, earnings of
railways thus far reported In August show an
average' gain of 0.6 per cent over last year
and 1&2 per cent over 1901. Complaint Is
beginning to be heard regarding the inadequate
facilities of the railways, and It now appears
that Inconvenience and loss must be again ex
perienced, notwithstanding the extensive Im
provements. A fairly liberal tonnage of Iron has been
placed during the past week, providing abun
dant demand for all the pig that is being made.
Somewhat easier prices for the great food
staples testify to brighter crop prospects.
Failures this week number 238 in the United
States against 307 last year, and eight in
Canada, compared with 30 a year ago.
Bank Clearings.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21. The following table,
compiled by Bradstrcet, shows the bank clear
ings at tbe principal cities for the week ended

TO REPAIR STORM'S WORK

Jl. 250,000 to assist the canegrowers In re
storing their plantations. Thlg is rec
ognized as being the only possible scheme
to repair the disaster caused by the re
cent hurricane. The Government is sup
plying work temporarily to hundreds of
unemployed, and local charity Is relieving
others, but the distress still Is great.
The St Mary's Fruit Association has
dispatched the steamer Astrea to Balti
more with 20,000 bunches of bananas. The
president of the asoclatlon announces the
suspension of operations for twelve
months.
AH the United Fruit Company's steam

drawn and several hundred employes have
been discharged.

Mrs. C. Richards, wife of C. Richards,
painter, and living at 671 Market street,
says: "Mr. Richards values Doan's Kid
ney Pills very highly. He has had at
tacks of kidney trouble for years. Ho Is
a painter by trade, and there 1.3 no doubt
but the turpentine has had more or less
effect on his kidneys, as I believe paint
ers are more or less afflicted with kidney
troubles. Last Fall he liad an acute at
tack, and when Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to our notice I went to the Laue
lavis Drug Company's store, corner of
Yamhill and Third streets, and got him a
box. They so regulated his kidneys that
relief came in a remarkably short time. I
have heard him express, his appreciation
,of this reliable remedy."
