MPROVEMENT OF
CRAY'S HARBOR
Chief of Engineers Recom
mends an Appropriation
of $187,500.
EIGHTEEN -FOOT CHANNEL
Congress Will Probably Act Favora
bly in the Matter Next Year
Sum or $3000 a Year
for Maintenance.
ORKGONIAN NEWS BfREAt. Wash
ington. April 15.-In view of a recent
recommendation made by the Chief or
Engineer, it Is quite probable that the
next river and harbor bill, which will
be passed one year hence, will contain an
appropriation for the improvement of in
ner Gray's Harbor, on the Washington
coast. The last river and harbor bill au
thorized a survey of this harbor to de
termine whether or not it Justifies fur
ther Improvement by the general Gov
ernment. This survey has been made, and in the
opinion of Ihc engineers. Justifies a fur
ther appropriation. The result of the
survey Is summed up In a letter of tno
Chief of Engineers, in which lie says:
"The Inner portJon of. Gray's Harbor
and the Chchalis River to Montesano are
at present being improved "under a pro
ject which provides for dredging r chan
nel about 100 foot wide and 15 feet deep
at low water through the shoals below
Aberdeen and the removal of snags and
other obstructions abovo that point
Xo Improvement for River.
"In his report on the preliminary ex
amination Major Millis recommended a.
survey of Chchalis River from the head
of Gray's Harbor to Montesano. This re
port having been referred to the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors for
review and recommendation, as required
"by law, the board In its report thereon
expressed the opinion, for the reasons
given, that It is not advisable for the
United Suites to undertake the Improve
ment of Chehalls River to a greater ex
tent than now provided for under tne
present project, but recommended that a
survey of the Inner portion of Gray's
Harbor be authorized, with a view to an
rxtension of the existing project therefor.
Tho Chief of Engineers concurring In the
views of tho board, a survey of Gray's
Harbor as proposed was recommended to
the Secretary of War and authorized in
accordance with the law.
"In his survey report Lieutenant Pope
submits an estimate for securing a 200
foot channel 20 feet deep at mean low
water, amounting to .5270.000 for first cost
and JG000 annually for maintenance af
ter completion; also an estimate of J187.
COO for securing a channel 200 feet wide
and 18 feet deep .at mean low water,
with 53000 annually for maintenance. The
larger project Is recommended by him.
Lesser Scheme Recommended.
"Jn Its final report of January 31. 1S06.
herewith, the Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors expresses the opin
ion that" the commercial interests in
volved are sufficient to Justify the cost
of securing in the improved channel or
the Inner portion of Gray's Harbor a
depth of 18 feet, and recommends the
adoption of the lesser project outlined In
Lieutenant Pone renort nt nn wtimot.
A cost of J1S7.500. with $3000 annually
ior maintenance.
"I concur in tho views and recommenda
tlon of the board."

ROOM FOR A COUNTY ROAD
Aberdeen Has Claim on Right
Way Used by Northern Pacific
of
ABERDEEN, "Wash.. April 15. Special
The Chamber of Commerce, at its last
meeting, decided t take up the question
of completing the county road between
this city and the city limits. For years

den -was then In s posltie to oeasf&da.
but the fire of 1W6, the building of a Cltr
Hall and a new steel bridge acrow the
Wishkah River put the municipality in a
position financially where It could not
very -well take up the county road enter
prise. The road Is made a serious problem "by
the fact that it must be built practically
In the Chchalis River, parallel with the
Northern Pacific Railway track. An al
most insurmountable bluff rum close to
the railway track, and to pierce It would
entail enormous expanse. The expense ot
going in the river will be from J12.000 to
J15.000. Th Northern Pacific Company,
too. is likely to fight th road, for the
reason that it will cross their tracks and
maks the highway more hazardous.
To offset the action of the railway com
pany. If It should be taken, the x:ity holds
that tho roadbed of the Northern Pacific
Company is an old county road never
abandoned, and that the railway compart'
has no right to it. At an early day. when
the road was desired badly, the ties were
laid over this highway to save expense,
and the city was then Indifferent to the
wagon-road, as it needed the railway
more. Now the city desires, the wagon
road as well, but It is expected the North
ern Pacific Railway Company is disposed
to put up an active fight- In the long
run the city is bound to win.

WASHINGTON. April 15. Speeches
on tbe railroad rate bill will ba the

assurances to the contrary which were
given by Senators last week, thcro Is
no immediate prospects tor securing
an Agreement upon a time tor voting

counted upon getting such an agree

be exhausted and there are a suffi
cient number of these already In sight
to consume the entire week.
Senator Heyburn will speak tomor

Senator La Pollette would probably
be ready to proceed Tuesday, but the
Senator himself is not apparently pre
pared to say whether he will be. If he
does not take the floor Tuesday he
will- ask to be heard later In the week.
It Is understood he will take advanced
ground for stringent legislation. It Is
not improbable that the Junior Wis
consin Senator will be followed Imme
diately by his colleague. Senator
Spooner. who will devoto his especial
attention to the polot raised by Sen
ator Bailey, and will reply to the
Texas Senator's contention that Con
gress has a right to limit the Injunc

will provoke considerable debate and

There is little opposition to the bill

CANNON BOOM IS- NOW ON

Presidency.
OREGON! AX NEWS BUREAU. Wash-
ington. April 15. Friends of Speaker Can

progress that has beea nude wi&i the
Fairbanks beosa In all part of the Uni
ted States. Up te tfefci ttete Tattle has
been said, abevt Caaaea.. Vt whenever

baa bees raised that h Jm tee e4d. It Is
thte efcarge thajMssrKeraats the friends
ef the Sceekc
J" next KapubUcaa National
cMventiea Is catted. Speaker Cannon will
e iz years eta. That means that. If
elected te the Presidency, he would be ?
at tae exptraUoa of his term. That would
be the Umlt for the United States and
wetrid be a Jump from one extreme to the
ether.
It Is a fact, as contended by Cannon's
friends, that the Speaker does not look
and act his age; he woald readily pass
for a man ten years younger: his friends
say 3X. It Is also true that the Speaker j
in sun in mil possession of his mental
faculties, as has been demonstrated by
his management of the House this win
ter. But for all that. 72 years Is a ripe
old age for Presidential candidates, and a
man can retrogress rapidly after he turns
the three-ecore-and-ten mark. When the
convention Is called it will be found that
a large number of delegates have their
doubts about the propriety of nominat
ing a man woo has assed 75.
But when the convention meets, it will
be found that there are other objections
to Cannon besides his age. During the
present session of Congress he has on
occasion, exhibited an utter disregard for
puouc sentiment on more than one occa
sion.
It was he (for the Speaker is ad
mittedly the committee on rules) who
rode rough-shod over a tlear majority
ot mo House In a frantic effort to
pass a statehood bill that was uncoo-
ular and generally disapproved. It
was he who denied the House the right
to amen a tne Tate bill: It was he who
railroaded through the Philippine bill
in tne same manner, and ajraln it is
Cannon who denies the House the right
to even consider a tariff revision bill.
for it Is Cannon, and not Payne, who
lias shut off this right.
Jn an his course Cannon acts for
what he believes to be the best Inter
ests of the country, but he has fol
lowed Reed's example In considering
ms judgment superior to that of
majority of the House, and when Reed
made that reputation he lost all chance
of becoming President. There are two
mote sessions before the next National
convention, and there is no reason to
suppose that in that time Speaker Can
non will become more submissive to
the public desire. It is therefore only
rcasonable to suppose that, when
Cannon's name is placed before the
convention his course as Speaker.
rather than his advanced age. will be
the strongest factor to operate against
his nomination. The Cannon boom Is
not as serious a thing as it might be.
notwithstanding the personal popular
ity of the man.

General Manager Voliva Creates Stir
Anion; Dojvle's ex-Followers by
ProdHcIng Old Letters of a
Sensational Character.
rrHirAOO. Aoril 15. General Overseer
VrMn nredueed the first ot his batch of
documentary evidence today, by which he.
hopes to confound John Alezanaer jjowio
and his followers. The Instrument was
a letter, written under date of April 13.
ISOi. and addressed to Dowie, who was
then In Zurich. Switzerland ine icner
was signed by Overseers John G. Speich-
er. Charles J. Bernard ana juage . -Barnes.
In the document they warned uowie
that unless he changed his ways in the
management of Zion City a clash was
Inevitable. They stated that from their
examination of the conduct of affairs of
tho colony, it was evident that Dowie had
nvrrii-awn his account at the bank la
Zlon City: that he received deposlta when
It was known that the banK was insol
vent; that he had used funds otherwise
than In accordance with the representa
tions made by the stock contracts and
certificates; that the proof of the appro
priation of such large sums for his own
personal use. and for ends outside of the
Industries named, would be tantamount to
a conviction of embezzlement m any court
of law.
The letter further Implored Jjowie to
ezerdse a rigid economy on the part of
himself and nis larouy, saying uai c-
nendltures to uus ena snouia w umcu
cn needs rather than upon a fictitious
Income.
The Inhabitants of Zlon City, anticipat
ing that such a letter would be read,
flocked to the tabernacle early, and long
before the services opened the big build
ing; waa filled. After the regular Easter
ceremony the sensation was sprung when
General Overseer Voliva requested that
Overseer Brazefleld read the letter, ivnen
Deacon Brazefleld read that section which
said: "There is no doubt for a moment
that failure to meet payments and an ex
posure of the true condition of things
would land yourself and cashier and gen
eral financial manager In Jail very
nromntlv." the audience signified Its ap
proval ot the sentiment expressed by vig
orous applause, una letter conunues:
The standard of Zlon cannot be lower
than that set by the business world out
side. Tour safest place will be here at
home. There Is but one course outside.
and that Is Chile, where you would be
safe from the attacks that would be made
and the situation here would be hazard
ous if you continue your policy.
"The using of funds otherwise tnan in
accordance with the representations made
by tbe stock contracts and certificates
and the proofs or the appropriation or
such large rums to your own personal use
and for ends outside of the Industries
named. Including what has been done at
Ben MacD Hut,, would be tantamount to
conviction." The letter concluded aa
follows:
"Ssch Is the extent of Zlon that no
where in the civilized world will you be
without the pale of the extradition laws.
Tour baslnesa enterprises have connec
tion In every land, and hence. In every
country a venae can be laid oa a crimi
nal charge."
Ceaeral Overseer ollva then called
Deacon Newcoaab. who was one of the
party that was traveling with Dowie at
the fosse the letter was directed to the
"first apostle." Deacon New comb stated
that the letter was received by Dowie In
Zurich, but that Dowie first spoke of the
document to him while they were travel
ing la France. He stated that the "first
apostle flew Into a great pasiea when
he discos sed the epistle and stated that
the policies that he had Inaugurated must
prevail.

would take out gun licenses, aa they would
get the II back an protection to their sheep,
goats, chickens, geeie. ducks and pigs. The
sportsmen would be benflted by protecting the
game tn their receiving 23 cents bounty on a
kingfisher.
In one year I believe the farmer boys and
hunters would kill every kingfisher In the
Willamette Valley. It Is a well-known fact
that these birds destroy more trout In one
year than all the fishing with hook and line.
The coyotes, bobcats and cougars destroy an
nually hundred of deer, pheasant and grouse,
besides thousands of dollars' worth of domes
tic animals and birds... It goes without say
ing that the crow destroys thousands of Chi
na' pheasants and native pheasants annually
by eating the egga and young bird when
hatched. This la well known by all fanners
familiar with the habits ot crows.
It Is conceded that the Willamette Valley
annually produces over S1CO.0OO worth of mo
hair, and this could. In five years be multi
plied by five. If It were not for the coyote and
wildcat- This will apply as well to sheep.
except that the gcats are kept more In the
,h
Xw thw afe on,y 4 gmall percentage of
the facts alone these line, and we farmers
and sportsmen want notice taken of these
serious facts by our Representatives and Sen
ators. In fact. It should be made an Issue In
this campaign. One of the wealthiest farmers
in Tamhlll County recently ald that he would
be tn favor of paying 5100 bounty on each
coyote and that It would be economy, and he
did not have a. sheep or coat. Of course It
would not be necessary for such a bounty as
that, but It ought to be large enough to pay
to keep dogs that will run these pests down
and kill them.
I have only mentioned these facts In a gen
eral way to bring out a general discussion of
a subject sc. Important to farmer and sports
man alike; la fact, to every one Intereatcd
tn the welfare ot the Willamette Valley.

FILL "JUDAS" WITH LEW
SINGULAR EASTER CUSTOM OB
SERVED BY GREEK COLONY.
Effigy of Christ's Betrayer First
Hanged With Considerable Cere
mony at Clifton.
ASTORIA, Or.. April 35. (Special.) In
accordance with an ancient custom, the
colony of Greeks living at Clifton yester
day observed Easter by hanging "Judas,"
the betrayer ot Christ, in effigy and after
ward filling the pendent form full of lead
from their revolvers. The Image was
that of a man dressed in modern clothing,
and crowned with a slouch hat, on which
was pinned a sign bearing the word
"Judas."
Planting for "Winter. ,
Garden Magazine.
In planting for "Winter, comfort must
receive the first consideration. The rude
north wind must have its force broken.
This may be accomplished by planting
evergreens for windbreaks. But it is best
to attain the end without the formal ar
ray of a straight border, which Is often
too assertive. The outbuildings should bo
placed to do part of the work, but so as
not to show too plainly that this was In
view. Between the buildings groups of
evergreens may be placed, so aa to make
a pleasing variety, add a beauty of their
own and effectually complete the wind
breaking circuit. In all our Northern
states the northwest wind la the enemy
whose assaults must be guarded against.
But we have severe winds from the north,
and northeast, and these points should
also be effectually covered.
