THE L
LEFT TO PEOPLE
Roosevelt's Policy Regarding
Disposition of the Pub
lic Domain.
SETTLER'S INTEREST FIRST
President Averse to Any Monopoly
In Hands of the Few Believes
Laws Should Aid Rapid De
velopment of the West.
CHEYENNE, Wye. June 18. Special.)
Hon. R. A. Balllnger, Commissioner of
the General Land Office, going to Den
ver to attend the public lands confer
ence, said today: '
"We do not desire to hold up bona fide
land entries, and are seeking to advance
the Interests of entrymen as fast as pos
sible, consistent with a conservative ad
ministration of affairs, and in this work
the welfare of the settler Is being con
sidered at all times.
"Iacan say for President Roosevelt,"
said Commissioner Balllnger, "that he
is with the settler, and any lease law
that he advocates will protect in every
respect the rights of the homesteader,
and encourage the rapid settlement of
the West. This hajs always been the
policy of the administration and is at
this time, in spite of any assertions of
a radical departure from policies which
have been advocated in the past.
Save Lands for the People.
"It is the policy of the President to
save the lands for the people and pre
vent them from coming into the hands of
a few, to avert their absorption by a
few individuals or companies. That is
the great work of the administration in
a nutshell.
"What is desired in advocating a land
leasing law Is to secure a reasonable
regulation of the public domain In the
best Interests of the people, thus avoid
ing the numerous clashes and disturb
ances which have occurred in the strug
gle for land and secure for the people
settled rights that will eliminate such
disturbances without militating against
the interests of the homesteader, or re
tarding the rapid settlement and upbuild
ing of the great West.
'The necessity for a land-leasing law
of course has been rendered more acute
by the restoring to the public domain of
extensive areas of land through the de
molition of illegal fences. The destruc
tion of these fences must continue. We
have no alternative, aa this work Is
merely the enforcement of laws passed
by Congress, and it is the enforcement
of laws as we find them that has gii'en
rise to accusations that the administra
tion is adopting new and radical policies.
Liberal Leasing Policy.
"It would be my idea," said Commis
sioner Balllnger, "and I believe It Is the
idea of the administration, to classify
the public lands under various subdivi
sions, charging fees in proportion to their
value. This would be but an extension
of the law which now permits the Agri
cultural Department to lease lands In
Government Forest reserves. I believe
that it is the idea to make the fees for
lenses only sufficiently large to pay for
the cost of supervision and not create
revenue for any purpose."
FRKSIDEXT'S PLAN OPPOSED
Public Land Delegates Will Con
demn His Present Policies.
DENVER. Colo.. June 16. Of greater
and more far-reaching Importance than
any gathering in Denver in years will be
the public lands convention, which will
meet at the Broadway Theater Tuesday
morning, next, and will be in session for
three days. Informal discussions among
the delegates already on the ground point
to the conclusion that President Roose
velt's policies as to Western land and ir
rigation regulations will be condemned
by the convention in a conservative, de
liberate manner, without mixing politic
in the matter. v
Two states will virtually dominate the
convention. They are Colorado and Wy
oming. Of the 1000 delegates from the
four Western states represented, Colo
rado and Wyoming will have about 452,
and 60 por cent of these, it Is declared,
will be against the administration's pol
icies with reference to the public do
main. Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
Washington, with nearly '200 delegates,
will side in a large measure with Colo
rado and Wyoming.
James Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture,
was expected to attend the convention,
but he has sent word that he will be
unable to come. It 1b believed that either
W. H. Taft, Secretary of War, or George
B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury,
may come in place of Secretary Wilson.
The attendance of James R. Garfield,
Secretary of the Interior; R. A. Ballln
ger, Commissioner of the General Land
Office; Gifford Pinchot. Chief of the For
estry Department; D. A. Newell. Direc
tor of the Reclamation Service, and J. A.
Holmes of the Geological Survey, rep
resenting the Federal administration, la
assured.
Senator C. D. Clark, of Wyoming, who
fought the President's land policies on
the floor of the Senate at Washington,
arrived here last night. He will take a
leading part In' the deliberations of the
convention.
"There will be no politics in the con
vention." said Senator Clark today. "The
questions to come up for discussion and
action are not political. They have to
do with policies of the President with
reference to his administration of the
public domain. We have had a good
dose of bureaucratic administration of the
public domain. Now it is time we swung
back to the old mooring and, constitu
tional rights of the states. I am satis
fied that the President wants to do what
Is best for the country when he is advised
of the true conditions and the temper of
the people of the West. This is the one
great end that we are striving for."
TALKS ON SCHMITZ CASE
T. K. A. Selwood Lectures to Mem
bers of Milwaukle Grange.
At a meeting of the Milwaukle
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, Satur
day. T. R. A. Sellwood talked on the
verdict of guilty In the case of Mayor
Sohmlti. Among other things, Mr.
Sellwood said:
"This verdict. In my Judgment, will be
approved by the American people, and
it ought to be approved. That a ver
dict of guilty could be obtained in this
case against the chief official of San
Francisco is a triumph of justice that
will cause a thrill of satisfaction to
every lover of country. This man was
intrenched in a high place and thought
the law waa not made to reach him, but
WANTS
was made for the poor criminal. For
once, he was mistaken.
"This verdict means a. great deal to
this country. It is a most healthy in
dication of the drift of public senti
ment, of a demand for honesty on the
part of public officials of this country.
There has been too much corruption
in our cities. Indeed, they had become
I so thoroughly corrupt that ihe masses
had lost hope that they could ever De
purified, but this verdict of guilty for
this public criminal will be received
as a hopeful indication to the people,
as well as a warning, that corruption
In our municipalities must cease."
SEASIDE ASSESSMENT DUE
Sheriff Collecting Taxes for Board
Walk Construction.
Owners of Seaside property residing in
Portland have received notices from the
Sheriff of Clatsop County notifying them
of the amounts of their assessments for
board walk construction at Seaside. The
cost of the proposed improvement will be
about J7500. and this expense has been
apportioned among the owners of prop
erty that will be benefitted, on the
ground that the walk will be a benefit
to the entire municipal corporation.
The City Council of West Seaside has
set June 29 as the day when the assess
ments will become delinquent. The Coun
cil Is desirous ,of having the money paid
to the Clatsop County Sheriff at once so
tnat the contract for constructing the
walk may be let by July 1. This will
make it possible to complete the im
provement during the same month, be
fore the Summer season at this resort is
too far advanced. The Council, however,
has decided not to begin the building of
the walk until the greater part of the
cost has been paid, and for that reason
especially urges the interested property
owners to be prompt in responding to the
notices from the tax collector.
The beginning point of the proposed
walk is the southeast corner of the well
known Knowles' property. From that
point a six-foot walk will be constructed
along the county road to the beach.
Along the beach northerly from the
Moore hotel a 10-foot walk on bulkheads
will be constructed to the Lower Necan-Icum-bridge
road, thence following the
road 300 yards east, and thence south
through the grove to the point of begin
ning. This will make one continuous
walk"which will serve the convenience
of people living in the grove besides af
fording a needed promenade walk along
the beach.
Besides being a convenience both to
Summer residents and visitors to Seaside,
the proposed walk will enhance the value
of property far In excess of the actual
cost.

Murders Scarce In Pacific.
SOUTH BEND, Wash., June 16. (Spe
cial.) The first murder case Pacific
County has had for years will be called
for trial on the 18th Inst, when Harold
Smith will be tried for murder of Frank
Miller. Smith is charged with murder In
the first degree.
LIO FITS ON SNUGLY
(Continued From First Pag-)
social clubs and I instructed my men ac
cordingly. Later when Mr. Manning told
me that he did not intend to include these
organizations, I had to send other police
men around and tell the clubs they ceuld
run as usual."
Hundreds of citizens who like their
"wee nip" of a Sunday were grateful for
this discrimination. The clubs will prob
ably "get theirs" neat Sunday,
Another Interesting feature ef the day
was the faot that very few attempts were
made to buy drug stere beeae." The
authorities had sleuths eut en a still hunt
for such places as might be guilty ef sell-;
lng lemonade, pop, sedawater and the like
with "sticks," but they discovered noth
ing. Several druggists whe were nter?
viewed declared in meat positive terms
that they had had ne more calls for
spirituous medicines yesterday than en
any other dav.
Roadhouses Obey the Law,
The roadhouses obeyed the law t the
letter. Great crowds thronged the Twelve
Mile House, north of Gresham, and hua
dreds flocked to Claremont Tavern, but
Fred T. Merrill, proprietor ef the farmer
place, made no attempt to serve drinks,
and the officer selected by Mayer- Short,
of Gresham, to watch it had little ts da
The same 'was true of the Clarement.
Lemonade and other soft drinks were
served with meals and the guests aeted
as if they really liked, the change.
Guests at Portland hotels earaglatned
bitterly against what they termed "gume-r
tuary legislation." They came ta town,
many of them, fully confident that even
though the lid were spiked down, they
could have their claret, or burgundy with
their dinners, but their eonsternatiaq was
pronounced and unconcealed when in-i
formed that all meals were "dry" for the
day.
From the best Information that eould
be gained last night, the hotel people still
hope they, will be able to effect some
compromise by which they will be allowed
to serve guests with drinks with their
meals, but it Is extremely doubtful If
they will be successful in gaining this
concession. Mr. Manning is Inclined to
lean farther and farther toward the con.
servative extremity and will no doubt
close up social clubs and may even go to
the extreme of closing up cigar stands
and similar places on Sundays. It is
known that liquor Interests contemplate
bringing vigorous pressure to bear upon
him to do this.
North End Is Hit Hard.
The North End, with Its roving host
of homeless wanderers, men who have
no place to spend their Sundays save
In saloons, which they regard as their
clubs, was it agnant as a pool of stand
ing water. The large concert halls were
filled with hundreds of laboring men.
They sat around reading papers, listen
ing to the tiresome din of musical Instru
ments, watching pool and billiard games,
drinking pop, sweet elder and other soft
drinks, and now and then wandering out
side to listen to socialistic orators or
the exhortation of the Salvation Army,
The order had hit them harder than
any other class in town. They were
actually lost souls. They resented the
new state of things as a stricture upon
their liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Every artifice they knew of was ex
hausted in the effort to get a drink, but
long before night they had made up their
minds that there was "nothing doing1
but when the information was given out
that the bars In the North End would
be thrown open from midnight until
one o'clock, a murmur -, of satisfaction
and high approval swept over the thirsty
throng.
The excursion steamer Charles R.
Spencer was a floating saloon all day
yesterday. It had a stock of liquor on
board that would "sink a ship" and the
big crowd that had shown the fore
thought to go on the excursion had all
they wanted to drink during the day.
The incoming cars from Vancouver,
Milwaukle, Oregon City, Bstacada and
other towns outside the county last last
night were loaded to the guards with
crowds in greater or less degrees of in
ebriety. Stories coming . from these
places all attest to the unrestrained or
gies which took place during the day.
Sheriff Stevens' Good Work.
Sheriff Stevens enforced the law so en
thusiastically throughout the county that
he drove his big touring-car on a 90-mlle
jaunt to every point under his Jurisdic
tion, and missed his first baseball game
of the season. The Desert .of Sahara
was as a babbling brook compared with
the dry. barren and silent reaches of
Multnomah County from Linnton and
Claremont Tavern on the west and
north. to Troutdale, Gresham and
Twelve-Mile House on the east, when the
Sheriff finished his rounds.
At Linnton he found the saloons of
Cochrane Brothers and Peterson & Carl
son doing a 'rushing trade, but he and
Deputy Sheriff Proebstel ordered the pro
prietors to close and took 550 ball from
George Cochrane and C. Carlson to in
sure their appearance before Judge Cle
land. The crowd was inclined to be a
little ugly at first, but the Sheriff gave
them a talk and they did not make
trouble.
At Troutdale even the ice cream stands
were closed. Everybody bad taken a day
off- to go to a ball game, and the saloon
men had padlocks on their doors. Then
the Sheriff went to the Twelve-Mile
house. The bar there was tight shut and
only a few patrons were at the place.
At Gresham the law also was closely
observed.
Late last night the Sheriff made an
other tripto Linnton, when he heard that
the two saloonmen had again defied the
law, but found his journey for nothing.
They had not opened.
, People Welcome the Change.
"You wouldn't think it. perhaps, but
every place I went-the people seemed in
favor of this Sunday closing." said the
Sheriff. "At Linnton only the two men
I arrested and those drinking protested,
and at Troutdale and Gresham people
seemed positively glad."
Deputy Sheriffs Jones, Proebstel and
Boyer early In .the day went to St.
Johns and stayed there" till night. They
bad no trouble.
It was estimated that between 1200 and
1500 men visited Milwaukle yesterday
afternoon and evening as one result of
the closing of the Portland saloons. In
Milwaukle the two saloons were dosed
until 12 o'clock noon, when they were
thrown open to the thirsty crowd from
Portland. No such scene had ever been
witnessed in the pioneer town. It seemed
to the oia residents that Portland had
emptied itself into Milwaukle. It was
reported that the entire supply of beer
and other liquors was exhausted before
nisbt.
The good citizens of the town are very
much concerned over the situation as the
place is In Clackamas County just across
the border from Multnomah and they
fear Milwaukle will become another
North End unless the saloons there are
closed up the same as in Portland. While
there was no disorder yesterday the
streets were thronged with drinking
strangers and some women and girls were
Insulted by them. There will be a de
mand, it is said, to shut up the Milwau
kle saloons under the Sunday law as a
matter of seifprotection.
The action in the Milwaukle Council in
Increasing the license from MOO to $600
per year and ordering the closing of the
saloons Sundays until 12 o'clock appears
to have been inspired by a desire to head
off the demand for the complete Sunday
closing of saloons, but The experience of
yesterday will accentuate the demand for
closing.
BIHwankie Feels Alarmed.
"Our saloons will have to close on Sun
day," a resident said, "or Milwaukle will
become a second North End for Portland.
There Is no way to exclude the Portland
crowds, or restrain the rough element
who will make Milwaukle a Sunday
rendezvou."
Chief of Police Charles Bredson, of St.
Johns, said yesterday that he took no
action in the Sunday closing because
neither he nor Mayor Couch was formally
notified of Mr. Mannings order. He also
said that he heard through the daily
papers that the county authorities would
take care of all cases, and that he did
not care to Interfere with them.
As to the success or failure of the
first day's experiment with the heretofore
untried lid, the city and county officials
are unanimous in the opinion that it
flts nicely and that they are heavy
enough to hold It down for all time to
come. District Attorney Manning made
this statement:
"The result shows that the vast ma
jority of saloon men of Portland are law
abiding citizens and are really in sym
pathy with the movement. I am entirely
satisfied with the situation, and feel more
than ever convinced that Portland Is
destined to be a closed town In ' the
future."
Chief Gritzmacher said:
"It was an unusually quiet day. The
whole department was a unit In as
sisting Mr. Manning in his desire to keep
the saloons closed. I think the majority
of the people are 'glad of the change,
and so far as I am concerned, I shall
sea that the law Is enforced to the
letter."
"You can count on me doing my duty
to the limit," said Sheriff Stevens after
he had finished his long tour around the
county, last night. "My office will work
in absolute accord with the District At
torney in this matter."
QUIET DAY FOR THE POLICE
Bluecoats Give First Aid to Two
Thirsty Citizens.
Except for a few arrests early in the
morning after the regular closing- hour
for the city saloons, yesterday waa quiet
In police circles, a somewhat remarkable
showing when compared with the riotous
scenes in Seattle, Tacoma and other
places on the first dry Sunday. No such
disturbances as were reported from the
Sound cities were seen in Portland. With
the exception of five arrests of saloon
keepers for violating the Manning order,
nothing developed to raar the Sunday
quiet in Portland yesterday.
During the day two men were taken to
police station suffering from a lack of
stimulants. One of these, William Car
roll, a morphine fiend, was attacked with
violent convulsions shortly after being
locked up, and it required the attention
of the city physician to bring him out of
the spasm. The remedy used was a big
dose of whiskey, and the. effect was sur
prising. The man's condition became
normal almost Immediately. The other
case was that of Gust Austin, who col
lapsed at the corner of Second and Ever
ett streets. The same remedy was used
on him, with the result that after a
sojourn of two hours in the Jail he was
permitted to go to his home in North
Portland.
J. M. Lahey slipped In under the lid
In some manner and acquired such a
beautiful "package" that its weight com
pelled him to lie down on the platform
of the Jefferson-street depot, with the re
sult that he got a free ride and more or
less comfortable quarters for the night
at the city Jail.
Officers were detailed to watch the cars
coming in from Oregon City, Milwaukie
and Vancouver.with a view to dampening
enthusiasm acquired by a day spent out
side the pale of District Attorney Man
ning's authority. A number of hilarious
young men were cautioned by officers to
make, less noise in celebration of their
successful excursion abroad, but no ar
rests were made.
QUIET DAY AT OREGON CITY
Portland's Closed Sunday Has Little
Effect at the Falls. '
OREGON CITY, Or., June 16. (Special.)
The improvement in the moral tone of
Portland had little or no effect upon that
of Oregon City today, and although the
usual Sunday crowd that frequents this
city on pleasant days was noticlble, and
the saloons, were liberally patronized,
there was no rowdyism or drunkenness.
Only one arrest was made and the cul
prit was not from Portland, but from
the country, and had taken a drop too
much.
The saloonmen are very careful. In
view of the new conditions, and state
that disorderly people will not be per
mitted to frequent their resorts. The
present Council Is prepared to be rather
strict in the control and government of
the retail liquor houses and only last
week raised the license from $400 to $600
per annum and passed an ordinance re
quiring saloons to close their doors
from midnight until 5 A. M. This order
is now in effect, but heretofore there has
been ho restrictions and the saloons have
been permitted to remain open 24 hours
of the day if desired. The liquor people
made a strenuous effort to have the or
der modified, to allow them to keep their
places open until 1 A. M., but the mem
bers, of the Council were obdurate.
There is some sentiment existing here
In favor of following the lead. of Port
land, but it does not seem probable that,
radical , action will be taken either by
the city or county authorities unless con
ditions in the metropolis bring a dis
orderly element here that will be dis
agreeable to the residents of Oregon City.
It Is true that whispers have been heard
that the referendum will be Invoked to
close the retail liquor places on Sunday,
but the annual election Is far distant,
and it is not probable the saloon people
will spoil a good thing by running affairs
to the disgust of the lovers of peace
and good order. .
The expected crowds of thirsty people
from Portland did not materialize yester
day, much to the surprise of many. The
streets were not thronged with stagger
ing men, and the new deal was not fol
lowed by the expected results.
GRESHAM FEELS THE DROUTH
Manning's Lid Held Down by Sev
eral Deputy Sheriffs.
GRESHAM, Or., June 16. (Special.)
District Attorney Manning's lid was
on tiht today with several special
Deputy Sheriffs sitting- upon It. All
over Eastern Multnomah the thirst for
something stronger than pure spring
water went unassuaged. Yesterday
afternoon the different saloon pro
prietors received a personal call from
a Deputy Sheriff, each one giving the
Information that It would be more
pleasant and profitable to comply with
the District Attorney's request than to
disobey. " -
Personal observation at ' the front
and back floors of the two . saloons
here revealed nothing but absolute
silence throughout the day. At Fred
Merrill's Edelbrau roadbouse the same
oppressive silence prevailed on that
side of the building where the bar Is
located, and at Troutdale the people
were awestruck at the vision of closed
doors for the first time in the history
of the town. The three saloons of
Troutdale have always, heretofore,
done their heav-iest business on Sun
days, but today there was a solemn
stillness, while sadness and sorrow pre
vails among the element that seemed
to have lost a day out of its existence.
Travel over the O. W. P. line to Esta
cada was unusually heavy. The day
was fine and hundreds were out for a
ride and to see the country, but it was
reported - that the shipments of neer
kegs and case goods was unusually
heavy up that way during the past few
days. It was said, also, that a junk
dealer will make a trip along the track
beyond the Multnomah County line to
morrow for the purpose of picking up
a small wagon load of empty bottles.
Reference was made to the prohibi
tory order of the District Attorney in
all the churches of this section today.
Deep satisfaction was expressed but it
was not noticed that the attendance
was any larger than usual.
Two baseball games, one at this
place and one at -Troutdale, were the
centers of attraction in the afternoon
and both had big crowds.
PATROLMAN HAS EASY . DAY
Officer Finds City So Quiet He Does
Not Earn Salary.
Sunday closing affects different dtlaens
In different ways, but It remained for
Patrolman Joseph P. Fones of the first
night relief to support the action of the
District Attorney in a report to his cap
tain. The other officers made no comment on
the closing of Baloons. They sileMtly
filed into the station and. advancing to
the water faucet calmly quaffed a liberal
quantity of "Bull Hun," and awaited roll
call or dismissal as the ease might be.
Patrolman Fones drank liberally of the
water and Inspired by it, wrpte out the
following report to Captain Slover:
"I am ashamed to take the city's
money for tonight's work. Not a drunk,
not a saloon open, or anyone trying to
sell any whiskey. This Is the first time
In 30 years that Lower Alblna has had Its
Baloons closed on Sunday. Not a fight
nor a drunk have I seen or heard of to
night. Here a few Sundays - ago there
were flghta at three different saloons', and
I arrested five men. All lawabiding cit
izens say they hope never to see saloons
open on Sunday again in the city of
Portland. They are all pleased with
District Attorney Manning's order, which
Is being backed up by Mayor Lane and
the police force of the city. All who
have spoken to me say that, should Man
ning be beaten in the city test oases,
they will compel the Council to pass a
Sunday closing ordinance."
