PROJECT IS NOT
I
Spokane Plan Regarded With
Amused Toleration by Con
servative Citizens.
NEW STATE IMPROBABLE
Some Discontent Exists In Inland
Empire, but Conditions Are by
No Means Ripe for Separ
ation as Suggested.
Though they recognize that there
has long existed in certain sections
of the Inland Empire latent dissatis
faction with existing state boundaries,
conservative citizens of Oregon. Wash
ington and Idaho are inclined to re
Rard with amused toleration the Spo
kane project to create a new state
through the secession of the dis
gruntled communities from their par
ent commonwealth.
. Eveu In Eastern Washington, where
most of the population of Spokane'
new State of Lincoln would be cen
tered, the sentiment in favor of the
creation of a new common wealt.h is by
no means unanimous. Many conserva
tive citizens are of the belief that the
time Is not yet ripe for actual separa
tion, and even among those who in
dorse the Spokrtne srheme, It is recog
nized' that there wonld be serious
problem to face were the present
states to say. "Bless, you children. Go
in peace."
In large measure, the differences
that have brought about the desire for
separation are political, and It cannot
be overlooked that other political Jeal
ousies would spring up to fill the new
State of Lincoln with discord and
heartburnings. Already two Inland
Empire cities, if not more, are look
ing with green eys upon Spokane's
assumption that she Is to be the capi
tal of the new state. The politicians
of the dlssatlslted communities, who
are now In power, can be depended
upon to oppose from the word gr
any move that would impair their In
fluence and drag them away from the
public crib where thoy are now feed
ing. Congressman Humphrey's Hint.
And last, but not least, as Congress
man Humphrey, of Washington, points
out In an Interview with an Oregonlan
correspondent. Congress must ratify
the plan, and the Eastern States in
Congress on principle orpose the ad
mission of new Western States to the
Union.
In this city and in the - cities of
Puget Sound, which can be taken as
reflecting the sentiment of Western
Oregon and Washington, the Spoknne
move Is not regarded seriously. Rep
resentative men In the Coast sections
of the two states do not shut their
eves to the fact that there Is dissatis
faction with present conditions in the
Injand Empire, but they greatly doubt,
whether the communities th&t are said
to' be ready to vote to secede are
eoulpped for separate statehood.
There Is no disposition, however, to
the use of the curb bit on the restive
communities. The sentiment in Western
Oregon is fairly well Indicated by the
following Interview with Governor Cham
berlain: Governor Chamberlain Talks.
"The formation of such a state may
be feasible a few years hence," said
Governor Chamberlain yesterday, "but
the time is not ripe at the present for
the creation of the additional state that
is proposed, especially from the territory
that Is suggested. The districts proposed
to be Included within the new state are
not only too sparsely settled, but afe
not sufficiently developed to warrant their
withdrawal from the states of which they
are a part for the creation of another
etate. A consolidation of these districts
Into one state would prove Insufficient,
both as to population and area, to sus
tain a separate state government.
"There exist no differences of a com
mercial or Industrial character between
Eastern and Western Oregon that cannot
satisfactorily be adjusted by Intelligent
legislation. Greater differences than
those alleged to exist between the dif
ferent sections of the three states inter
ested would be presented in any attempt
to form a separate state out of the terri
tory suggested. There exists a natural
rivalry between Spokane. Pendleton and
Moscow, the three principal cities of the
sections of the three states that would
be Included In the new state, and dissat
isfaction would surely attend the selection
of either city as the capital of the new
state.
"There is not the slightest sentiment In
any section of Oregon, so far as I can
learn, favoring secession from this state
to enter a new commonwealth, a scheme
that can only be advocated by the special
selfish interests of some one particular
locality. The time has not arrived, cer
tainly, for the division of these states as
Is proposed."
Tom Richardson, manager of the Port
land Commercial Club, recognizes In the
scheme a plan to make Spokane the capi
tal city of the proposed new state.
Only Spokane's Ambition.
"Spokane is a good, live city." said he,
"but I do not think the people of that
city really take the matter seriously. By
taking the initiative, however, in propos
ing a new Btate that may be created
eventually. Spokane, as the central city
in the "Inland Empire' expects to claim
all the credit If such a plan ever ma
terialises." "Ther Is quite a sentiment in some
sections of Eastern Oregon for seceding." ,
said J. B. Laber, secretary of the Port
land Board of Trade, "inasmuch as It,
together with the surrounding country
that would also be Included in the new
state, is especially an Irrigation district.
No harm would result to Oregon if the
counties In Its northeastern section should
withdraw. That section of the state would
be unable to withhold itself commercial
ly from this part of the state although it
Bhould be separated politically. Greater
consideration for Eastern Oregon and its
Interests along the line of legislation will
do more towards discouraging the possi
ble secession of that section from the
state than any other policy. However, I
consider that in the present unsettled and
undeveloped condition of the state any
steps looking towards Its division are
untimely."
"State boundary lines should not be dis
turbed," said Edmond C. GUtner, secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce. "It
requires years to establish these bound
aries and nothing more seriously unsettles
conditions than an attempt to change
existing lines. The difference of inter
ests between Eastern and Western Ore
gon is given as a reason why the East
ern part of the state should withdraw
and unite with sections of Idaho and
Washington in creating a new state. This
difference of Interests is the very reason
that that state should not be divided.
"Eastern and Western Oregon are de-
AKEN
SERIOUSLY
pendent the one on the other. Portland
and Western Oregon are dependent on
Eastern Oregon for wheat while East
ern Oregon looks to the Western part of
the state for Its lumber and for shipping
facilities. There should be made no
changes In the boundaries of these
states unless for the very best reasons,
which are not apparent at this time."
A The Oregonlan correspondents in various
sections of the Inland Empire were yes
terday requested to Interview leading
citizens and ascertain the sentiment in
regard to separate statehood and the ap
pended dispatches were received. The
telegraph wires being down, lfwas impos
sible to get similar dispatches from
Baker City, Union and La Grande.
' PANHANDLE ' ' FAVORS PLAX
Northern Idaho Eager for Divorce
From South of State.
MOSCOW, Idaho, April 7 Special. )
The sentiment of the people of Moscow
and Latah County Is undoubtedly In favor
of the creation of the new State of Lin
coln at the present time. The deBire to
get away from Idaho exists largely for
geographical reasons, and has existed for
over 20 years. When the act annexing
Northern Idaho to Washington was
passed by Congress, in 1SSS, there was
great rejoicing throughout the entire
Idaho "panhandle," and there was equally
great disgust when President Cleveland.
at the urgent solicitation of Territorial
Governor Stevenson, who was his warm
personal friend, vetoed the measure.
Politics enter into the question to some
extent. The Ave northern counties contain
a little more than one-third of the popu
lation of the state and pay nearly two-
fifths-of its taxes, yet they are given very
little voice in the management of the
state's affairs. The south in conventions
and elections controls the situation and
makes and unmakes the rulers of the
commonwealth. The people of the north
are tiring of this condition and would like
to get away from It.
The politicians, however, seem gener
ally to be of a different frame of mind.
With the creation of a new state new ad
justments would be necessary, and most
of them feel they would be ousted from
the comfortable berths they now occupj'.
Congressman French, whose home is at
Moscow, Is oposed to It, and so are the
close friends of Senator Hej-burn, whose
home is in Wallace. Then some of the
friends of the State University, located
here, imagine they see dangers confront
ing this institution in the creation of a
new state.
Others, however, look at it differently
and would welcome the change. It may
be set down as a reasonable certainty
that if the question Bhould come to a pop
ular vote in the near future this section
would give a large majority for the
change.
If a north-and-south railroad connected
the state more closely, the sentiment
might not be so pronounced, but It will
take something of that nature to reconcile
the people of North Idaho to a continu
ance of present conditions. If escape from
them is made possible.
HUMPHREY IS COMPLAISANT
Washington Congressman Says West
Side Would Not Resist.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 7. (Special.
While willing to aid In the creation Of
the new State of Lincoln if his con
stituents desire It. Congressman Will E.
Humphrey does not think the Spokane
movement will be successful. The agita
tion has not progressed to the point of
a conference with the Washington Con
gressional delegation, and Mr. Humphrey
has heard but little of the plan.
"There are three states involved In the
movement, and I doubt very seriously
whether the people can be made to agree
to the Spokane plan," said Mr. Humphrey
today. "Even If it were possible to unite
the territory out of which Spokane pro
poses to create a new state, trouble
would probably be encountered in Con
gress. One only has to revert to the
fight over the Oklahoma and New Mexico
statehood bills to understand how bit
terly the East opposes the creation of
new Western states. No matter how
much Justice there may be In the agita
tion for the creation of the new State of
Lincoln, I think in Congress much the
eame opposition would be encountered
that has met every proposal for a new
Western state.
"It occurs to me that if the people
of the Inland Empire desire separate
statehood their wishes are entitled to
full consideration. I would be inclined to
support a united petition for such action.
I do not see any reason why we of
Western Washington should oppose sepa
ration If Eastern Washington desires it.
If it should develop that my constituency
did oppose separation I would have to
pay heed to their wishes, but I have
no Idea that such a stand would be
taken. As I said before, however, I do
not believe the separate statehood fight
will reach the point of asking for Con
gressional action. I do not believe the
people of the sections which Spokane pro.
poses to Include in a new state can be
induced to agree on the plan. If I am
correct In this theory, speculation on
what might happen is idle and useless
COLFAX PEOPLE NOT UNITED
Leading Citizens Divided Over New
State Project.
COLFAX. Wash.. April 7. (Special.)
Opinion is much divided in Colfax
and Whitman County on the project
to form the new State of Lincoln.
While the Chamber of Commerce and
the One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Club of Spokane are urging the organ
ization of a new state, they would also
urge that Spokane be the capital.
Martin J. Maloriey, ex-Representative
in the state Legislature, says the crea
tlon of a new state is bo remote that
the nonsense thus far published should
receive no consideration from the
thinking people of Washington, as
there is nothing to fear and will not
be in 50 years.
James A. Perkins, banker and father
of Colfax, said he was not In favor of
a new state, as the tidewater rates
would be abolished and Eastern Wash
ington could get no protection. As
the state now Is, this section has more
protection, he said.
"I believe It would be a good thing
for both states, said Mayor John Patti
son, "and think Whitman County
would give a majority for It. Geo
graphically, it Is correct, and all rates
and differences could be adjusted. I
doubt if it can or will be done, but
think it would be the right move."
S. Manning, of the Northwestern
Grain Company, said Whitman County
w-ould be for a- new state as rate laws
and all differences would work out In
a short time.
PtXLMAX IS FOR SEPARATION
Whitman County Would Vote for a
New State.
PCLLMAN. Wash., April 7. (Spe
cial.) An overwhelming majority of
the citizens of Pullman and vicinity
Is strongly in favor of the proposed
State of Lincoln. The general belief
is that it would be advantageous po
litically, economically and socially, as
well as on account of climatic ana
geographical conditions. In the sec
tlons of the three states affected these
conditions are very similar, and this
fact has great influence on the opln
Ions expressed by conservative eiti
sens. T. A. Bryan, president of Wash
Ington State College, would not com
mlt himself further than: "I believe
the plan feasible." Thomas Nell, pres
dent of the Commercial Club, said:
"Generally the plan is very favorably I
considered." '
E. C. Burgan, merchant, and W. H.
Harvey, attorney and landowner, said
that practically" all with whom the
matter had been discussed desired a
separation. Harvey, however, doubted
the feasibility of the plan, considering
the obstacles that would have to be
overcome.
IS OPPOSED IX CITY OP BOISE
Citizens Say Separation Issue is 20
Years Dead.
BOISE, Idaho. April 7 (Special.) Senti
ment here and throughout Southern Idaho
is overwhelmingly against any recasting
of state lines that would (fake from this
state any portion of the territory it now
possesses. Twenty-five years ago It was
a live issue, the plan then being to cut
off the "panhandle" and annex it to
Washington. A bill for that purpose was
passed by Congress but met with a pocket
veto at the hands of President Cleveland,
during his first term, and the people of
Southern Idaho have always felt grateful
to him for it ever since.
Idaho . people generally felt that the
Issue was settled then, and no movement
to cut off the "panhandle" now would
meet with favor in the south, and with
comparatively little in the north.
The suggestion that a new state be
formed out of portions of Washington and
Idaho and that Idaho be given the east
ern end of Oregon has given life to the
proposal in the south, but it has not
been given serious consideration in the
northern part of the state. In the north
there is undoubtedly much sentiment in
support of the State of Lincoln plan, but
here and throughout the south it is dis
approved, though some portions feel they
have not sufficient knowledge of the pro
posal to give an opinion.
The following expressions by prominent
citizens here reflect the general senti
ment: Frank Martin I think the southern part
of the state would oppose it, unanimously.
While there were some reasons once to
favor a separation of Northern Idaho be
cause of its inaccessibility, the building of
the railway down the Snake Is going to
bring most of that section into direct com
munication with the capital and all neces
sity for division is thus removed.
Edgar Wilson The thing is an absurd
ity. The people would never sanction
such a change. I am personally opposed
to such a programme, and feel certain
the entire southern part of the state feels
the same way.
Chief Justice Ailshie I have never had
any hesitation in saying that I would do
anything in my power to prevent any such
change in the boundaries of the state.
J. W. Cunningham The matter has
never been considered as a serious pro
posal. I certainly would have to be
shown some good reason for it to be
induced to give it my support.
Mayor John Haynes I am opposed to
the proposal on general principles. It
has never been given serious considera
tion and I do not think it ever will be.
Possibly something might be worked
out that would be desirable, but the
people do not take kindly to the Idea.
Judge J. H. Richards That question
has never been presented to the people
of this state seriously. Public sentiment
might favor It if it could be turned into
a good thing. My own impulse Is to
oppose it, but I have not yet given it
sufficient consideration to be warranted
in taking a positive position.
HEAVY FLOOD WILL SOME DAY
WIPE OUT PITTSBURG.
So Reports United States Engineers
W1k Have Examined Conditions
Along the River.
PITTSBURG, April 7. Pittsburg is in
danger of devastation some day by a
flood similar to that which laid waste
Johnstown. Thousands of lives and mil
lions of dollars' worth of property will be
lost, according to a report made public
tonight by J. W. Arras, of the United
States Engineers' corps.
Mr. Arras, who has charge of buildln
dams in the Ohio and Allegheny rivers,
has investigated conditions here and his
report to the Government sounds warn
ing of the disaster which he declares is
sure to come. No more warning will be
given Pittsburg, according to Mr. Arras,
than that received by Johnstown.
In the March freshet, says Mr. Arras,
the Monongahela predominated. Should
the Allegheny take the lead, however, and
there is no reason why it should not, the
low wooden bridges would be washed
from their foundations and the entire
mass dashed against the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge.
"Would it withstand- the attack?" he
asks.
"No man can tell. It Is a ponderous
structure, splendidly proportioned and
substantially built. However, what it
will do seems immaterial, for whether it
stands and holds the gorge or falls before
it. it will In either case divert the irre
sistible oncoming tide toward the main
land, where the damage to property will
be enormous and lives by the thousand
will be sacrificed, since there would be
insufficient warning to enable the in
habitants to Withdraw to places of
safety.

An attack of grip seldom results fatal
Iv but it Is the indirect cause of many
deaths. If it does not result in pneu

leaves Its victim with a cough which
lingers on long after every other symp

system Is thus left In a weakened con

other disease. The grip can be greatly
lessened in its severity if Chamberlain's

STUDY FARM WORK
Professor Bailey Discusses
Scope of Experiments.
BEST USE FEDERAL FUNDS
Says State Institutions Supported by
Government Should Have Gen
eral Plan of Action to Ob
tain the Best Results.
WASHINGTON, April 7. The nature
and scope of the work of the commission
recently appointed to inquire into the re
port as to the organization and policy
that should prevail in the expenditure of
public moneys provided for scientific ex
perimentation and research in the inter
est of agriculture are discussed in a let
ter from L. H. Bailey, of Cornell Uni
versity, to President David Starr Jordan,
of Leland Stanford, Jr., University, a
copy of which was received by Gifford
Pinchot, chief of the Forestry 8ervice.
Mr. Bailey is president of the associ
ation of agricultural colleges and experi
ment stations, which the commission rep
resents, and Dr. Jordan is the chairman
of the committee. This committee held
several sessions in Washington in the
past few days, during which the work of
the various members was laid out. The
members have discussed the proposed
work with President Roosevelt and it
is said that he is much interested in what
it is expected to accomplish. President
Bailey's letter says:
"The occasion for the creating of the
commission lies In the fact that in the
very rapid evolution of experimentation
and research in agriculture in the United
States there has not yet arisen a clear
understanding of mutual limits and rela
tionships or a settled policy in relation
to many large public Questions. We need
to work out principles of action.
"There undoubtedly needs to be a core
lation and harmonizing of subjects and
methods; an understanding of the proper
scope, functions and limitations of Na
tional and state agencies; a conception
of the relation of Institutions in the states
to federal appropriations and control;
of the most effective distribution of in
vestigation efforts among the different
state and National institutions; consider
ation of the influence exerted in research
in agriculture by the current methods of
appropriations by Legislatures; of the
relation of the individual worker to in
stitutional organization; discussion of
what constitutes research that shall pro
duce useful and worthy results; the rela
tion of this research to the teaching and
publicity functions of the Institutions;
consideration of the relation of research
in agriculture to the general body of sci
ence and the co-ordination of them, and
In general such a directing of experi
ment and research In the interest of agri
culture as shall compact and economize
the work, render it more fertile and ef
fective and Integrate It with wise policies
In the Interest of the public welfare.
"It lies with the commission to cover
much or little of this field, but It will
be essential to consider the best methods
of organizing research work, the mutual
relations of experiment stations and Fede
ral agencies and the general character
of each report that may issue from insti
tutions founded on public money. The
two members representing the associa
tion ore familiar with the questions that
need most to be discussed."
President Bailey says that the commis
sion may consider any other research
work supported by public money that
promotes agricultural efficiency. It can
not, he says, neglect direct educational
questions in so far as they touch the
Inter-relation of experiment and teaching
iu uib institutions ana particularly as
they relate to the training of men to
undertake research.
