DISCUSS POLICIES
OF
GOVERNMENT
Federal Officials Who Are
Touring West With Garfield
Reach Portland.
PiiurunT IM THP PARTY
Chief Forester Says Rulings Con
cerning Timber Lands Are MIs
. understood Irrigation Expert
Criticises the Homesteaders.
"There has been no discrimination by the
Forestry Department against Oregon,"
said Glflord Pinchot, Chief Forester under
the Federal Government, who reached
Portland yesterday In advance of Secre
tary of the Interior Garfield, of whose
party he is a member. "Such complaints
as exist I find on investigation are the
result of a misunderstanding of the poli
cy of the Government by the settlers, who
have not yet become acquainted with the
system that has been adopted by the de
partment for regulating this important
service, which has been pretty much with
out any intelligent system in the past.
When the people of the state learn that
the Government has imposed only such
restrictions as are considered essential to
the best interests of the state we are sat
isfied all dissatisfaction will end and the
wisdom of the policy that has been out
lined will be recognized and indorsed. The
rules of the Government respecting the
cutting of timber for commercial purposes
have been made necessary for the preser
vation of the timber wealth of the state.
"It Is the aim and the purpose of the
Government to do all that It is possible
to be done towards aiding the growth of
the state, its settlement and development,
and the policy now being enforced is con
sidered essential to attain those results.
All of the resources of the Forestry De
partment are being expended to the best
possible advantage.
"My visit to the Coast at this time is
without significance. No radical changes
In policy are contemplated. I am merely
here to Investigate the administration of
the forestry service."
Homesteaders in Wrong.
F. H. XewelJ. director of the United
States reclamation service, is another
member of Secretary Garfield's party who
reached Portland yesterday In company
with Mr. Pinchot. Discussing the rec
lamation service in this state, Mr.
Newell, while avoiding a criticism of the
homesteaders holding lands that are In
cluded In irrigation projects, says that
until the people of this state arouse
xnemseives ana worn more exten
sively In reclaiming the non-productive
area, they will not be able to
secure for reclamation fund. He thinks
the greatest trouble in Oregon is that the
the state Its pro rata share . of the
average farmer is content to cultivate
and make use of only a small acreage of
land, although he would attempt to hold
In his possession an acreage much larger
than he was disposed to work.
"If the farmer is- to get the assistance
from the Government through the rec-
lamatlon fund that he thinks he is en
titled to receive, he must hustle and
make the most that is possible from his
land." continued Mr. Newell. "The real
object of the Government in maintaining
this department is to bring all lands re
quiring irrigation to the highest state of
productiveness. In order that tnis may
be accomplished the large acreage that
is now held largely by private Individuals
must be cut up into smaller tracts so that
they may be cultivated to the very best
advantage.
"It is the aim of the Government, by
th. 4nlalllrnnt nnri iflnfiil fO-nnerftt Ion Of
the homesteader, to demonstrate that the
reclamation service is not only a valu
' able aid in contributing to the develop
ment of the state but that the expense is
but slight when the results obtained are
considered."
A third member of the Garfield party
who accompanies Mr.. Pinchot and Mr.
Newell is W. J. McGee, secretary of the
United States Inland Waterways Com
mission.
Plans to Utilize Streams.
"The advisability and the best means
for utilizing the Columbia River and its
tributaries and the other inland streams
of the state for the purposes of naviga
tion and the creation of power Is the
mission of the representatives of the
Waterways Commission, said Mr. MC'
Geo yesterday.
"The Inland Waterways Commission
was created last Spring by President
Roosevelt because of the conditions re
sulting from a congestion in transporta
tion and a deplorable car shortage," con
tinued Secretary McGee. "The commis
slon contemplates the construction of a
series of lock dams in streams wnere
deemed advisable, for the two-fold pur
pose of Improving navigation and devel
oping water power. We figure tnat tnis
work would materially minimize tne con
gestlon of traffic by aiding water trans
portation. Another result wouio. De xo
diminish danger of a fuel famine by de
veloping more electrical power for op
eratlng the many industries, to the sav
ins; of wood and coal.
"In creating the Commission the
President's main purpose was to con
vert all living water of the country to
practical uses as follows: First, for
transportation purposes; second, lor
power; third, for irrigation; fourth, for
domestic consumption. We find that of
the four purposes proposed, that which
will aid in transportation is the most
urgent throughout ihe country, more
so. perhaps, in the Middle West than
on the Coast, but we shall make
careful investigation of the condition
of the streams in this state and report
our findings, together with recommen
dations. Our work at this time, how
ever. Is entirely preliminary to a more
thorough investigation that will be
conducted during the Summ" by an
other member of the Commission.
May Go Vp Columbia.'
"The other two memhors of the Com
mission, Mr. Newell and Mr. Pinchot,
who are In the -city, with myself, have
been exceedingly busy today gathering
data relating to the subject of our in
vestigation. We shall call on the of
ficers in charge of the United States
Kngineer's Department in this city be
fore leaving Portland and if time per
mits we may make a trip on the Co
lumbia that we may better understand
the situation.
"Improved transportation facilities
are a necessity when it is considered
that In the last decade many sections
of the United States have Increased
their productiveness 100 pr cent, while
In the same period the facilities for
transporting this Increased production
to markets has Increased only 10 and
12 per cent.
"The principal trouble is the immense
amount of water that Is permitted to
be wasted. If this should be properly
utilized, much of the complaint ot lack
cif transportation facilities would be
removed and there would still remain
an abundance of water for all purposes."
TALKS TO ENDEAVORERS

tends every meeting in which he partici
pates.
The man who is a father, and glad of
it. appeared on the convention floor to
tell of his ten children, and while doing
so betrayed to the keen insight of Secre
tary Shaw that he was a Methodist, also.
Our secretary has an iron nerve and a
fund of patience in dealing with the hob
byist and the long-winded speaker. As
every discussion reaveals, Endeavor
throngs have much to be thankful for in
this respect. Striking in appearance, a
splendid example of a youthful spirit in
life's sunset hours, is the venerable pas
tor of the home church of Christian En
deavor, the Williston Church, Portland,
Me., the Rev. Smith Baker, D.D. His ad
dress on "Pastor's Part in Training the
Church" was of most helpful character.
Coines Across the Ocean.
From across the waters come men to
whom the welcome given . those of the
home land is gladly extended. With all
the humor and optimism of that Island
home of good cheer, the Rev. John Pol
lock of Belfast, Ireland, Is a visitor ever
welcome. As president of the European
Christlun Endeavor Union he represents
a portion of the world where the En
deavor movement is having a marvelous
growth today.
Scholarly, eloquent and persuasive was
the address in church union on the for
eign field by Rev. W. I. Chamberlain of
Indiana. But not alone are ministers the
honored ones at the convention laymen
are most conspicuous. Mr. von Ogden
Vogt, secretary of the Young People's
work for the Board of Home Missions of
the presbytery, has honor on all hands.
William Phillips Hall, known as the busi
ness men's evangelist, is here and takes
prominent part in the noonday meetings
at the Grand Theater.
Solving Japanese Question.
One remark made often Is In regard
to the conduct of the vast audiences
that gather for the services. So marked
is their reverent attitude and close at
tention at . all times that one marvels
when the length and number of services
Is considered. But, then, it is only an
other evidence of what Christian En
deavor is doing for the young people.
Endeavorers are In the way of solving
the Japanese question. The Christian
Japanese is the key to the situation, for
here we find them in numbers, and their
dignified bearing and unfailing courtesy
cool the war fever in the veins. Chris
tian makes difference local or world
wide a matter of remote possibility.

Vice-President Chler Attraction at
Endeavor Convention.
SEATTLE, July 12. Vice - President
Charles W. Fairbanks was the center of
attraction at the Christian Endeavor con
vention today. The Vice-President had a
busy day of It. Outside of his address
to the Endeavorers he was kept on the
move from morning until night.
Today was the day for denominational
rallies among the churches represented
at the convention. Thousands of people
gathered at the various churches to at
tend the rally meeting, addresses being
given along general lines of religious
work.
St. Paul, which was chosen for the
1909 convention, has a well-organized del
egation that is doing a great deal of ad
vertising for the city.

devoted to the promotion of civic right
eousness. Is to be launched simultane
ously at two big meetings, one to be held
in the convention tent and the other at a
local church.
William Shaw, general secretary of the
United Society, and Amos R. Wells, ed
itor of the Christian Endeavor World,
will make the addresses outlining the
movement, which will be organized here.
and delegates will carry abroad plans for
local societies along the same line.
Vice-President Fairbanks tonight ad-
dressed a monster crowd at the conven
tion tent on the subject "Our Country.
Mr. Fairbanks said, in part:
"The strength and honor and perpetuity
of American institutions depend more
upon the Influence and teachings of the
great Christian churches than upon all
other influences combined and many
times multiplied. This is and is to be a
Christian nation. Its destiny is to be
governed by Christian people. Our fath
ers walked by Christian faith and we are
guided by that same faith. We are car
rying it into business and politics and
the more we put into both the nobler
will be our ideals and the more thorough
ly we will be inspired by that spirit of
righteousness and Justice which tends to
the welfare of the home, the exaltation
of the community and the glory of the
state.
"Take out of the Republic the Chris
tian Church, blot out of the hearts of
our people love of the Christian religion,
tear down the sacred altars from sea to
sea where the millions worship, uproot
the Christian Endeavor Societies and
their allied organizations engaged in
promoting Christian work and night
would come. The splendid temple erected
by our fathers would totter to its fall
and the battlefields made immortal by
the blood of our heroes would quicken
no generous Impulse; would awaken no
patriotic sentiment.
"Our Nation's great leaders (we have
no rulers) have been men of simple Chris
tian faith and whenever storm and stress
have come, they have held to that faith
as their sheet anchor.
"Our country stands for peace. Con
scious of our ability to make war and
shirking no responsibility which either
honor or duty may put upon us. we are
committed to aid in the promotion of
honorable peace among the nations.
The great Christian churches are doing
more than cabinets to usher in an era
of peace on earth, good will to men;
not an era whlcn tenas id ino acgen
eracy of American manhood and of our
National character. We will rind in the
walks of peace ample field for the ex
erclse and display of those qualities
which distinguish a hardy and pro
gressive race. The possibility of war
is not essential to the development of
a race of manly men.
"The Christian Endeavor Society is
essentially practical. It puts its theories
to the actual test. That is one of the
things 1 like about it. It is a powerful
aggressive agency for good in every
avenue of our social life. It is a vast
army making for better citizenship. Its
influence is always to be found upon
the side of those forces which have
been and which are purifying our civic
affairs. It is especially forceful In. cul
tivating a spirit of good will among
nations. Such an institution is a bless
ing to every country in which it is to
be found. All honor and success to this
great society in the United States; yes,
all honor and success to it throughout
the world."-

bv Edward M. Shepard, of New York, on
"Corporate Capitalization and Public
Morals" was the feature of today's ses
sion of the annual meeting of the I111-.
nois State Bar Association.
Abolition of the purely nominal money
capitalization of business corporations as
a cure for the evils of overcapitalization
was set forth by Mr. Shepard in his
address. The removal of the dollar
mark from capital stock will, he believes,
go far toward solving the problem.

GARFIELD PARTY IN TACOMA
Met by Business Men and Enter
tained at a Luncheon.
TACOMA. Wash., July 12. Secretary
James R. Garfield, Glfford Pinchot, chief
of the Bureau of Forestry; United States
Land Commissioner Richard A. Ballln
ger, Mr. Dixon, chief of the field servic
of the Land Department; Professor
Holmes, of the United States Geological
Survey, and President Penrose, of Whit
man College, arrived today in Tacoma,
being entertained by the Tacoma Boost
ers' club.
Secretary Garfield and party arrived in
the city about 1 o'clock from Seattle, on
the steam yacht El Primero. owned by
Chester Thorne. The visitors were met
at Seattle bv a committee of Tacoma
of corporate capitalization which should
condemn It," he said.
"For the very reason that it facilitates
deceit it should be ended if there be a
better plan. I think that we should pro
pose that the share of stock shall have
no dollar mark, that the only essential
feature is that it shall be the truthful
certification that It is one of a given total
of equal shares Into which the enterprise
is divided.
""Who lends the corporation money upon
the nominal amount of its capitalization?
The creditor who is paying considers, not
the nominal but the actual situation; his
concern is with the company's realizable
property, its' mortgage or lien debts, its
floating debts, its gross income, its net
income.- Is not, however, a creditor en
titled to know that the capital of which
he has been assured shall not until he is
paid, be taken from the company in divi
dends, but remain a fund for his security?
indeed he Is entitled to that."
Mr. Shepard also spoke of the common
idea that the profits of railways, another
puDiic service corporation, should -be re
stricted to six per cent. This, In his opin
ion, is a fallacy, and if so restricted
would prevent Industrial advancement.
"Private capital will not go into new
and untried enterprises unless upon
promise that In case of success the profits
shall exceed the rate of interest which
should be earned upon an investment
stock." He said:
"Sensible capitalists, like you and I, will
never take the risk of total or partial
loss unless paid for the risk In the magni
tude or possiDie or probable profit. It Is
aDSurd to suppose that constructive are-
nlus and official and even moral courage
would have carried a railroad over the
Allegheny Mountains, or the Rockies, or
the Sierras, on the assumption that if the
enterprise fail, a (treat loss should h
borne by the promoters, but that If the
enterprise succeeded, then that their rjrof
its should be limited to what thev rnuM
have earned without risk by lending the
capital on Dona ana mortgage.
INDIVIDUAL DESTINY.
i 1
C. E. S. Wood Reminded of Exist
ence of Personal Deity.
PORTLAND. July 10. (To the Editor.)
I read in yesterday's Oregonlan the commu
nication on "Race Individuals" with much
Interest.
Mr. Wood says: "It Is Ideas, not person
alities, that -we ought to concern ourselves
about." But. Ideas emanate from persons.
They have no other source. Consequently
the person must be greater than the idea he
originates. Again, Mr. Wood ay- "It
seems to me that one is quite warranted in
pointing out to the beginners in life that
the past history of the human race is an
upward movement, without a fall, and to
urge that the Intellectual forces we pos
sess be enlisted for Intellectual freedom, as
most favorable to a continuation of that
upward movement."
Mr. Wood therefore" believes in a sus
tained advance of the human race a fact
that proclaims a directing intelligence,
since chance cannot be sustained by chance
Some intelligent force has ruled the agei
with sovereign authority. Such a sove
reign Intelligence and directing power is un
known separate from the person. Mr
Wood's Illustration of the specific intel
lectual products of each age further sus
tains the. belief in- such an overruling in
telligence. I would submit the thought to Mr. Wood
and others of like opinion, that it is the
simplest and most reasonable explanation
of the existence of the ideas which have
come to the human race through which
they have been Impelled upward and marts
to advance, that those ideas emanated from
a personal God, who. though he be in
visible, spiritual, not corporeal, is, neverthe
less, a very real being. While it Is truo
that his ideas may be bigger than those of
man, and more our concern than Individuals
of our own race, yet is he greater than the
ideas he creates, and it his personality that
should be our chief concern.

ing a system of improvements at that
favorite beach resort be approved, and
the Dronosltion as expressed was ratified.
A ticket was nominated for the election
to be held at West Seaside on July 20.
The following candidates were named:

iunction with four Seaside property own

The tolls will be open until 9 P. M.. In
order that residents of Portland owning

dents of West Seaside, who number only
18 or 20 and own but a small percentage
of the property there. The sentiment of
the meeting was strongly against sucn.

Miss Hazel Wells Fears Albert
I.ipinskl Will Kill Her and
Appeals to Police.
Miss Hazel Wells, living with her
mother at 474 Washington street, received
a letter from Seattle yesterday morning,
In which was inclosed a picture of a girl
reposing in a casket, with a minister
standing by her side. She regards this
as meaning that Albert Llplnski. chief
engineer of the Barker Hotel of Seattle,
intends to kill her. To Acting Detective
Price she stated yesterday that she be
lieves the enraged and Jealous lover sent
the ominous picture as a warning to her.
Miss Wells refuses to leave her apart
ments except with police escort, as she
fears death at the hands of Llplnski, who
has on many occasions said he would
kill her unless she consented to marry
him. she and her mother state. The
Portland police have held a warrant for
his arrest for a week, charging him with
threatening to kill Miss Hazel Wells, and
they are keeping a close watch on all In
coming trains, fearing that he may come
over from Seattle and carry his threats
into execution.
Miss Wells is so frightened since re
ceiving the letter yesterday morning con
taining the peculiar picture that she has
engaged the services of ' Special Police
man Fitzsimmons, who is on guard much
of the time at her home. Detective Price
Investigated the case yesterday afternoon
and ascertained the facts as stated. He
is watching the Incoming trains and all
efforts will be made by the police to ap
prehend Lipinskt should he come here.
Lipinski Is the man who was recently
arrested in Seattle on a charge of mur
dering E. C Crueger, who is said to
have had favor with Miss Wells. Llp
lnski was enraged, and killed the favored
man but at the preliminary hearing waa
discharged, as there were no eye-witnesses
to the affair, and he declared he
killed Crueger in self-defense.
Two weeks ago, according to a sworn
statement of Mrs. Wells and her daugh
ter, Lipinski came to Portland and en
tered their home at 474 Washington
street, where he drew a revolver and said
he would kill Miss Wells unless she would
go with him and be married. She man
