ADD TO TAXABLE WEALTH Irrigation Act a Benefit Financially to State and Nation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 20. Assuming that the ir rigation statistics gathered by the Cen sus Bureau in 1900 were approximately correct, it can be demonstrated with ease that the National reclamation law is a mighty good thing from a business standpoint aside from the good it will accomplish in reclaiming desert lands and providing homes Sor millions of people. The census returns showed that the. average value of irrigated land in the T'nltcd States is ?47 per acre. The Na tional Government has set aside $32,870, for the reclamation of 1,859,000 acres of desert land. On the census basis, it is apparent that the expenditure of this JS2.OOO.000 will add $87,373,000 to the taxable property of the United States in land values alone, and this good will result within the next Ave or ten years at tho outside. But going further, the census figures show that the annual in come from irrigated land is JIB an acre. On this basis an income of J27.88S.000 per annum may be expected from the vast area that is now about to be ir rigated under Government projects. No other Investment which the Gov ernment has made will yield such liberal returns. This is not exactly an invest ment of Government money, but money which the Government advances to the settlers, ho "that in reality it is the set tlers who are making the expenditure, and the settlers who are bound, accord ing to past records, to reap nearly J3 on even dollar Invested in Irrigated lands. Of course the profit is greater on some projects than on others, but the avcragjr is o high that it is apparent that every project must in the end, ma terially benefit the settlers. Eighteen projects have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior to date, 11 of which are now under construction. The other seven are still under exami nation, and may be taken up at any time, except the Palouse project in Washington, which has been temporarily set aside because of its excessive cost. The projects under construction are: . PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Amount set aside . , . for beginning States Projects construction. Arizona Salt River.

North Dakota ..... Buford-Trenton .... 550.000 Washington . Palouse 2,800,000 Idaho v Payette-Boise L30a,O0O Total. Almost .every project on the above list can and sprobably will at some future time, be extended to embrace a greater area. Aaj. development goes on, as the p'rice and value of irrigated land In creases, it will be possible to install pumping plants as -an adjunct to most of the gravity projects, and this will be done. On the basis of the figures contained in the foregoing table it can be calculated readily to what extent the various states will benefit from the National reclama tion work. In round numbers the Mini doka project In Idaho, will add nearly J3.O00.O00 to taxable property In land alone, irrespective of improvements. The Klamath project, of -which about 140,000 acres lie in Oregon, will, on the basis of census figures, add more than J6.000.000 to the taxable property of Ore gon, and the Malheur project, should it be built, would add nearly J5.O00.000 more. Until the situation in Washington readjusts itself, it will be Impossible to figure on increased land values, for it is not Known wnere tne uovermnroi win Irrigate, or what areas will be reclaimed, since the Palouse project has been set aside. That project alone, however, at the average figure of $47 an acre, add -J3.000.000 to the taxable property of Eastern Washington. The Payette-Boise project means an increase in Idaho land Values of at least J12.000.000. It would seem that the National Irri gation law Is going to be a good thing all around. It will "provide homes lor the homeless, will give value to deserts that are today worthless; will afford tangible property which will become taxable, and Incidentally will afford em ployment to thousands of men in need of work. It Is a wonderful law. CHALLENGES LIQUOR MEN TEMPERANCE CONGRESS RE QUESTS A JOINT DEBATE. Asks Saloon Forces to Name a Slan to Meet St. John on the Rostrum. Challenged by temperance and prohibi tion forces to defend the liquor trade be fore the Temperance Congress now in session, leaders of the trade haye -refused to take up the gauntlet, for the reason, as they put it, that "the debate would be utterly useless and only savor of sensa tionalism" and "would be as fruitless as a debate on religion." But to this the prohibition and temper ance workers do not assent. To their minds the liquor question is one of politics as well as of morals, and Is debatable. I. H. Amos, chairman of the prohibition forces In Oregon, sent the first challenge, addressing it to the secretary of the (Brewers and Wholesale Liquor .Dealers Association, though 3fr. Amos did not expect that the lquor men would accept the challenge. The second defiance came from E. T. Johnson, of the committee on debate of the Temperance Congress, aq dressed to Paul Wcsslnger. Mr. Amos suavely suggested In his chal lenge letter that the congress would be "greatly pleased" to have the liquor or ganization "name a speaker of National or local reputation to appear and sot forth the claims of trade." Mr. Johnson, after announcing that temperance in Ore gon would be a live issue in the coming election, declared that the "matter should bo settled and settled right." and con-f tinued blandly, "If there is a good reason for the continuance of the business, it should be shown and the business not In terrupted." Said he further:. It Is not ueual for your people to Join in public .debates on this topic, but that is because you believe In letting sleeping lions alone. But this local option lion is not anleep and I am appointed a committee to arrange with you. If you so desire, a public debate of the mibject during the congress. We are going to hit your buelneM as hard as Tve can, undoubtedly, but as it Is a live question before the people of Oregon we are willing that you should select the best cham pion you can find in the limits of the United StateA to champion your cause. We should put against tilm Mr. St. John, of Kansas. Mr. St. John will be here and will tspeak any how, Wnd we doubt not will be willing to enter the Iteta against your champion. If you will bring & man of National ' reputa tion, I believe it can be made one of the interesting features of the Fair, and at the worst, yeu will anyhow be able to give to your own people for the coming campaign many new and forceful arguments. Prohibition is a question, much older than the United States, and opinions -will al ways differ. I would think a Joint debate between champions for the Roman Catholic faith and the Prenbytcrlan faith Just as likely to produce a change in the mind of any hearer. Whereunto Mr. Wesslnger replied, with the same bland ness, as follows: If you advocate temperance, so do L I believe in temperance in all things. If you deplore intemperance, so do ,1. If you Bar alcohol le a cure, I do not agree with you. I believe its discovery and existence to be a great blessing to humanity. If you say let us correct the evil of excessive drink ing by Invading the freedom of every indi vidual to decide his own life for himself. I do not agree with you. I believe It la far better for the program of the human race that there should be freedom the indi vidual, individual responsibility and eonve drunkards, rather than tyranny by law and no drunkards. But there never are no drunk ards. Law never yet changed the weaknesses or altered the vices of any man. If I thought discussion would produce any good result I would be glad to debate the question, for I feel the liquor interest, as you call It, is on the side of human freedom, but I know the debate would be utterly use less and only savor ot sensationalism.

SAFE SHE OF SEfi That Is Where Statistician Hyde Prefers to Be, s NEVER BECAME AMERICAN Refusal to Return From England Strengthens Suspicion Holmes High Roller Wilson AVants Moore to ''Return. V OREGONIAN NEWS BTJi.-vU, Wash ington, Sept 20. John Hyde, late statis tician of the Department of Agriculture, has been in England for more than a month, and, although he knows there is a crying demand for his return to this country, has as yet given no sign of his real intention of returning. Hyde claims to bo suffering from a carbuncle, but the opinion prevails that something more than a carbuncle Is responsible for his prolonged stay in England. There he is among friends; ho is not so sure of being among friends if he comes back to Wash ington. The case of Hyde is peculiar, aside from his supposed connection with the Irregu larities in the statistical division of tho Agricultural Department He is an Eng lishman, and It Is said on excellent au thority that he has never become nat uralized in this country. This being so. It is difficult to see how he ever obtained a Government position in the first place, and more astonishing that he should have worked himself up to high place, when it Is a matter of commpn knowl edge that every Government employe in Washington, clerk and official alike. Is supposed, upon appointment, to tako the oath of allegiance to the United States Government Hyde cither divided his al legiance or In some way evaded .taking the necessary oath. He could not con scientiously have sworn allegiance .to the American flag and yet remained a British subject HeRcmains an Englishman. Hyde appears to have been a Britisher through and through. He married an Englishwoman in this country In 1SH. but all his children have been born in England. Hyde, by the way. was born at Stalybrldgo. Lancashire, England, De cember 16. 188. Before entering the service of the Uni ted States Government Hyde was real estate and Immigration agent of a big railroad at Omaha. For six years, bogin ing In 1893. he was editor-ln-chlef of the National Geographic Magazine. He had had experience in editorial work, for In-1SS4-S3 he was an associate editor of the Prairie Farmer, an agricultural publica tion. A little later, Hyde was associate editor of th Bankers' Monthly. He held other positions in the West before ho came to Washington in 1850 to take a place In the Census Office, obtained for him by his employers In Omaha. Because of his knowledge of agricultural ques tions an1 his aptitude for statistics, he having made this a special 6tudy from early life. Hyde was placed In charge of the division of agriculture, and re mained there until 1SS4, when he was transferred to the Agricultural Depart ment Padded Omaha Population. "While he was in the Census Bureau, Hyde was evidently grateful to his friends In 'Omaha, for heln some way managed to get hold of the returns for that city and, it Is charged, greatly padded -the actual figures, giving It a population of 140,000. The Omaha papers, or at least the Rosewatcr papers, attacked this esti mate, alleging that It was too liberal. Mr. Rosewater charged that the returns had been padded; he contended that the pop ulation was little more than half what the census showed, and he plainly said that such a padding would work Injury to the city. The census taken ten years after Hyde left tho census office gave Omaha only 103,000. which manifestly su talns the charge that the census of 1S90 had been padded. It Is impossible to say whether or not Hyde was responsible for this padding, but he always got the credit for it . It was not until July 1. 1E37, That Hyde became statistician of the Department f Agriculture. His career there was a stormy one. The crop statistics compiled by Hyde's bureau were contlntfally as sailed by newspapers throughout the country, but never until this Summer was any attention paid to the outers. Secre tary Wilson had unbounded confidence In Hyde; he believed Hyde was doing, his duty honestly and conscientiously, and he took no notice of the denunciation that was hurled at his work. Stands High as Statistician. Personally Hyde is a pleasant and af fable man. He made many friends In the Agricultural Department and his cordial disposition, coupled with his knowledge of statistics and his high position as a Government statistician, won him mem bership in many societies, such as the In ternational Statistical Society, the Royal Statistical Society of London and the American Statistical Association. There Is no discounting the fact that Hydo Is a bright fellow. Before he came to this country he attended Stamford Academy at Ashton-under-Lyne and had studied at Victoria University. Man chester. With a good education to start on, he widened his knowledge by travel and by unceasing study. He has trav eled all over the United States and Can ada, studying first one agricultural prob lem, then another. All in all, he is a well Informed man, especially on .agri cultural topics. Hyde may or may not be Implicated in the scandals arising in his old bureau. Ho was under suspicion from the first but Mr. Wilson never lost confidence In him. and to this day professes to believe In his absolute Innocence. ' Nevertheless the fact remains that Hyde did much to confirm the suspicions of others when he hastily sailed for England immediately after re signing his post and his subsequent re fusal to return to Washington' adds still further to the popular belief that ho knows more than he 1b willing to telL If Hyde made money on the side. If he sold Inside facts bearing on Government crop reports or otherwise turned his of ficial knowledge to his private gain, he was shrewd enough to get that money beyond the limits of the United States. It Is said on good authority that Hyde made frequent deposits In the Bank of England and, if he has Ill-gotten gain and has .it in that institution, it is safe from the reach of this Government even if it can prove Hyde's complicity. Holmes a High Roller. But Hyde never made any show of wealth; wherein he was very different from Edwin S. Holmes, his assistant Al though drawing about J2000 a year in sal ary. Holmes, without other visible means of support, -was leading the life of a man with an Income ot J25.000. He was openly "living beyond his means" if he had nothing but his Government salary, and he thereby attracted attention to himself. The wonder is tKat he was not discovered long ago. Holmes js what might be termed a hlgh-roller.f' He was fond of fine horses, had a fast team of his own, was an all-around .sport and had the rep utation of being a liberal spender. Like Hyde, he entered the Agricultural Department from the Census Office, and like him be had considerable ability for statistical work, with the added accom pli.hmtmt of being able to successfully handle men, being, moreover, capable of performing an lxaraense amount of work himself. Holmes is a fellow with a good bit of nerve, and it Is doubtful if he would have resigned from the Govern ment service. He was dismissed out right his dismissal marking the begin ning of the campaign against the graft ers. " Mr. Wilson made the mistake of firing Holmes before having his case investi gated by the Department of Justice, In order that Holmes might be captured and placed under bond. This temporary embarrassment has been overcome, how ever, since Holmes subsequently surren dered. The most peculiar case yet developed In connection with the Agricultural Depart ment investigation Is that of George T. Moore, supposed to have beoa implicated in the "nitrate scandals." WThen it was first hinted that Moore was involved in a shady transaction In connection with the nitrate soil lnoculator. he hastily submit ted his resignation to Mr. "Wilson, and It was prmptly accepted, though, as In the case of Hyde, the Secretary testified to Moore's good record and regretted his res ignation. Moore's case was then placed in hands of the Department of Justice, after Moore himself had fallen under suspicion and had encouraged that suspicion by his hasty resignation. After careful Investi gation the Law Department reported that nothing could be found .which would Im plicate Moore In any wrongful act he was given a clean bill, and then, and not till the'n, did the department awake to the fact that It must have Mr. Moore's services. Moore was engaged In an Im portant line of work at tho time he re signed, work which could not be taken up and completed by some other man, as he himself bad all the facts, and the department desired the benefit of them. Then an appeal was made to Moore to reconsider his resignation. The public takes the finding of the De partment m Justice as correct, but It has difficulty in forgetting the haste with which Mr. Moore resigned. It has not been the custom of officials under charges to resign unless there was some ground for It though there have been instances where Innocent men were scared oft. That is said to be Moore's case. But whatever his motive, he seems scared of his former position; It does not seem like the same old place to him. As the situation stands today, it would appear from what has been done officially that all the -corruption in the Agricul tural Department centers around young Holmes, but there Is a strong belief prevalent in Washington that if John Hyde should return and tell all he knows. Holmes would have at least one compan ion in misery. ( hMR. PEIRCE, THE POOH BAH General Utility Man of Administra tion, Great in Own Opinion. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sept 20. It is not expected that there will be any general shake- up in the State Department In the im-J mediate future, reports to the con trary notwithstanding. Not long ago, at the tlroa ot the BoccnCbomIs con troversy. It was freely predicted that not only would Mr. Bowen lose his po sition and succeed In prying Assistant Secretary Loomis from his desk In the State Department, but It was currently reported -that Assistant Secretary H. H. D. Peirce would also come in for executive disapproval and would prob ably follow Mr. Loom is out of the service. Bowmi nnd Loomis have gone, be cause they handled the nasty asphalt scandal In Venezuela and became smeared, if not directly implicated. But as to Mr. Peirce things are different. Mr. Peirce was not conectcd with the ! asphalt scandal In any way, nor with ', any other scandal, as far as known, j and it is now believed he will retain his position as Third Assistant Secre tary of State. j But the principal renson why he wilr hang on is becatpe lie is brother-in-law to Senator Lodge, whose strong sup port he has. No man's influence is groater with this administration than that of Mr. Lodge, and, if he Insists upon the retention ot orother-ln-law Peirce. the President Is not apt to drop Mr. Peirce, except for verygood cause. It is no secret around the State De partment that the Third Assistant Sec retary la very unpopular; a man of haughty manner, fond of office and un duly Important because of his compar? atlvely unimportant place. Mr. Polrce appears to derive great delight from what little authority is thxust Into his, hands at times, and he shows his power in a way to make himself unpopular. "But we have got to have a man like Poirce about." said an official familiar with the Inside affairs of the State De partment. 'There is a lot of toadying to be done; somebody has got to do the drcas-parado act for the State Depart ment at functions, like the peace con ference at Portsmouth; somebody has got to make a puppet of himself In the name ot formality and courtesy, and I suppose it might as well be Peirce as some'' other man. He likes that sort of thing; most men would not. And that - probably explains why Mr. Peirce will be tolerated. If the pull of brother-in-law Lodge is not ample ex planation. Mr. Peirce went to Portsmouth as the personal representative of the Sec retary of State, and was given general supervision over the conference, look ing after the wants of the diplomats, waiting upon them and making himself more or less a general utility man. though bearing a hlac-soundlng title. But. having been an under secretary at St. Petersburg, Mr. Peirce, so It Is re ported from Portsmouth, developed a distinct pro-Russian leaning and showed considerable partiality to the Russlon commissioners during the con ference. One day Mr. Pelrco had occasion to transact business with the Japanese Minister, Mr Takahlra, and in rather offensive manirSrreqoested the Minis ter to do a certain thing. In his char acteristic polite tone the Minister de clined and evidently offended Mr. Peirce. "But I must insist," said the afore said Mr. Peirce. Again Minister Takahlra declined. "But. do you know who I am?" asked Mr. Peirce in his most haughty man ner. "Oh, yes, very well, replied the po lite Jap In pleasant tones. "You are the Third Assistant Secretary of State. I know you." And he laid considerable stress upon the "third assistant." A year or so ago Mr. Peirce was sent to the Orient to make an Investiga tion of American Consulates, and as a result of his reports, several Consuls were dropped from the service. Tho State Department has been very great ly bothered by some of these cases, and" strong. Influential men have charged again and again that Mr. Peirce based his report on information given him by irresponsible men; often times by men, of no standing. In one instance It was charged that Mr. Peirce had consulted with men who liad been obliged to leave this coun try because of their criminal records, and had taken refuge in China. Being unable to "work" American Consuls at Important posts, these criminals con spired tQ bring about their removal and It has been charged they got in their good work through Mr. Peirce. Whether this be so or not, Mr. Peirce greatly embarrassed tho department by his Investigation in the Orient, and he has not been ent on a similar mis sion to any other country. His chief duties are now confined to special as signments like that at Portsmouth, where he can do no harm and where no other official cares to go. WHY BE HELD You pay the penalty asked by those who give pocket knives, silver watches and bedsteads " f r e e " with cigars. The methods that appeal to women shoppers have Been tried for a while in the cigar business, but snclir meihods cannot endure long -where MEN, business men and others with common sense business ideas, are the customers. "When you buy a cigar you want the best CIGAR you can get for your money and you know that' you cannot get something for nothing. So the Cigar-Smoking Public Is GOING BACK TO THE DEAL-. ERS WHO DO BUSINESS ON A BUSINESS-LIKE BASIS - When you get aTOiI KEENE cigar with its new aromatic American Yuelta Filler, you not only get as much as COULD be given for a nickel, but you get MORE than others could give. For on this tobacco. the enormous tariff duties are saved. The Government loses and the cigar-smoker benefits thereby.

SMITH CIGAR DON'T The Woodard - Clarke TIP TO UQUOB MEN Judge Frazer Is Determined to Stop Sales to Minors. FINES JOHN F. STEPHENS ) His Honor Warns Future Violators of Law to Expect the Iiimlt, Which Is $300 Fine or a Year's Imprisonment. "I intend to stop the sale of liquor to minors, and to Impose penalties to the maximum." said Judge Frazer yesterday previous to pronouncing sentence upon John F- Stephens, bartender in the saloon of Joseph Penney, at Union avenue and East Morrison streets. Stephens had pleaded guilty to selling a bottle of whisky to Mike Schumaker. 17 years old. In his own defense he testified that Schumaker, when questioned by him, said he was over 21 years old. "William Frazler, A. "W. Lambert, Dr. C. H. Raffety and others, acquainted with Stephens from 20 to 25 years, testified that he had followed various pursuits and bore an excellent reputation, and Judge Frazer "imposed the minimum penalty, a fine o f50, which was paid. The court took occa sion to remark that saloonkeepers and bartenders must be certain that a patron is 21 years old, and that they take risks at their own peril. "There has been a great deal of selling liquor to a gang of young fellows In that neighborhood." continued Judge Frazer. "and two of them cdmmitted burglary when they did not know what they were doing. This law is on the statute ' books for a good purpose, and I don't want to see our boys become habitual drunkards before they are of age. Of course they will say they, are old enough, like Indians anything to get the whisky they aro after, but people sell to them at their own risk." The maximum penalty la a fine of $300, or Imprisonment In the County Jail for one year. The court may also declarethe license of a saloonkeeper forfeited. Increase Shown In Tillamook. TILLAMOOK. Or..
