FEDERAL DEPUTIES
TO LEAVE OFFICE
Tucker and Evans Will Re
tire Soon After McCourt '
Takes Control.
LATTER SWORN IN TODAY
New District Attorney Will Proceed
With Grand Jury Investigations
and Will Not Name Assist
ant at Present.
John McCourt, United States Attorney,
will have only the temporary assistance
. of Robert Tucker and Walter H. Evans,
Assistant United States Attorneys under
W. C. Bristol. , Both will retire as soon
as the Incoming Government prosecutor
is established in the office and made ac
quainted with the cases before the court
or awaiting- investigation by the grand
jury. However, the two assistant prose
cutors assured Mr. McCourt yesterday
that they would assist him for a few days
In directing the work of the grand jury
and would render him such other assist
ance as they were. able, if desired, after
they had quit the District Attorney's of
fice. Consider Salaries Too Small.
Mr. Tucker and Mr. Evans were asked
by Mr. McCourt yesterday to remain In
the office for a few months until all pond
ing criminal business had been disposed
of. but the offer was declined by both,
who assigned as their reason the inade
quate salary attached to a deputyship in
the District Attorney's office the posi
tions of first and second assistants pay
ing but J1M0 and $1200 per annum, re
spectively and a desire to return to their
private practice. It was further explained
by the assistant prosecutors that orig
inally they accepted the appointment from
Mr. Bristol at his urgent request solely
for the purpose of bringing all pending
cases to trial and relieving the County
Jail, which at the time contained about
30 Federal prisoners.
Although the grand jury was In session
only one day last week, the Assistant
District Attorneys made a record, return
ing six indictments involving 12 men, all
of whom pleaded guilty, thereby deliv
ering the County Jail of all Government
prisoners. Only one other case In which
' the accused are under arrest remains to
be presented to the grand Jury. It is
that In which R. H. Wells. J. N. Saylor
Frank Caviness and M. J. Dorsey are
charged with using the mails fraudu
lently, having received, it is alleged, spu
rious bank notes at the Portland post
office from a Chicago curio dealer. Wit
nesses in this case have been subpenaed
for tomorrow, when it will be presented
to the grand Jury, which will reconvene
in the afternoon.
Cases That Await Action.
Aside from this case, the Investigation
of whlrh may Involve men more promi
nent than those under arrest, Inspectors
connected with the Postoffice. Interior
and Treasury Departments have discov
ered evidences of a number of violations
of the Federal statutes which- w.. ue
submitted for the consideration of the
Jury. The case of Wells et a!., charged
with using the mails fraudulently, has
been worked up by Mr. Tucker, who will
conduct the investigation before the
grand jury. Mr. Evans Is in charge of
a number of minor charges against In
dians, one alleged violation of the fenc
ing statutes and charges of irregularity
by entrymen in filing and proving up on
claims in the fillets District. These al
leged infractions of the law win be taken
before the grand jury as soon as the
fraudulent mail case against Wells and
his assoclatee has been considered.,.
When asked yesterday whom he would
appoint as his permanent assistant, Mr.
McCourt declared that he had not yet
made a selection. He said he would have
no need for a regular assistant as long
as Mr. Tucker and Mr. F.vane remained
In the office and assisted him. In the
meantime Mr. McCourt expects to pro
ceed cautiously, review the Held carefully
and select the beat possible ma for the
place. Mr. McCourt does not expect to
announce the appointment of his as
sistant until the Assistant District At
torneys now in the office have with
drawn. Mr. McCourt will take the oath of
office this morning when the United
States Court convenes and Immediately
take charge of the District Attorney's
office.

ANXIOUS TO GET AT LANDS
Harney County Interested In Deci
sion Affecting Segregation.
Bl'RNS, Or., March 23. (Special.)
Hon William Miller, attorney for tha
tate of Oregon, and the William Han
ley Company, have received a copy of
q, decision just handed down by the
Commissioner of the General Iand Of
fice at Washington, which sustains the
decision of the Register and Receiver
of the Burns iund office In recommend -in
a for rejection the segregation of
nearly acrea made by the state
lo be reclaimed by tha William Hanley
Company under th Carey act.
ThU i a very important decision for
Harney County. The lands involved are
of the very best In Harney Valley and
lie in & stretch of country directly
tributary to Burn. This vast tract has
been tied upfor four years, withdrawn
from public entry, and the contemplat
ed reclamation bv the Hanley Company
' hs been retarded bv the contest which
has culminated in the present decision.
The desire of the people here has been
that the matter be decided one way or
another, so that tha land might be
thrown open to settlement or else that
the company be given a chance to put
water on it and sell to settlers.
The decision Just handed down holds
that some 27.000 acres of the segrega
tion are not in the proper sense desert
lards, and, further, tnat the plan of
reclamation Is not feasible, in that the
company has not at command sufficient
water to make successful irrigation.
It is expected the Hanley Company
will appeal from the decision of the
Commissioner to the Secretary of the
Interior, which will cause a delay of
several months more, tiut whenever the
Government throws this body of land
open to settlement, should that be the
final decision, every acre of It will be
taken as homesteads within a month,
as the selection embraces the cream
of Harney Valley.
BOrXD TO OUTDO ROSEBCKG
MarshHeld Rasllng Money for the
Southern Oregon Fair.
MARSH FIELD, Or., March 22. (Spe
cial.) A committee of the Chamber of
Commerce is at work raising funds for
holding the Southern Oregon Fair at
Marsbfleld, August 26 to 29, and is re
ceiving many subscriptions. The money
is needed for premiums and several thou
sand dollars will be expended in repairr
ing the old fair grounds. The grandstand-
will be rebuilt and barns and other
houses will be erected for the livestock
and exhibits.
. The committee having the matter In
charge announces that there will be
larger prizes offered this year than were
given at Roseburg last season, and in
this way it is hoped to secure some good
horses for the races. The fair will be
extensively advertised during the Sum
mer and It Is anticipated that there will
be a large attendance.
CITES "HALF BAKED IDEA'
Judge George Says Initiative Spells
Danger for Minorities.
PORTIANT, March 21. (To the Editor.)
Better be careful how we tinker by ha-ty
vote with, our Constitution. It la an evil,
our Initiative and referendum, that a slen
der majority can on the exciting- Impulse
of a single election now ride rough-shod
over all rights of a minority, even to sweep
ing away any or all of the elementary
constitutional safeguards which the expe
rienced wisdom of axes have established
as supposed permanent guaranties of the
rights of individuals, and of minorities,
against sudden encroachments of majorities.
Never has there been in governmental
regulations anywhere such a bald exposure
of our rights as individual or minorities in
the enjoyment of Hfe, liberty, property or
pursuit of happiness, to tha aggressive
whim, of a bare majority vote, as in the
Oregon Initiative and referendum.
drafted and adopted. It will Indeed be
strange if someone's finger are not yet
badly burned.
Through ages of political evolution, people
thought out. approved, and often, through
bloodshed, finally secured many essential
safeguards for protection of the rights of
each Individual, and of any minority body
of individuals; and to secure the same to
us each, and to minorities generally, they
have in every written Constitution, adopted
in any state, firmly placed these guaranties
to remain a elementary constitutional
foundations for legislative action, for in
stance: "Private property shall not be
taken for public use without just com
pensation.' article 1, paragraph 18, Oregon
constitutional Bill of Rights, me Legisla
tive Assembly shall provide by law for
uniform and equal rate of assessment and
taxation." article 0, paragraph 1, and
dosena of others.
So jealous have all people in all constitu
tlons been of the safety of these principles
from haety tampering, or tinkering or re
peal, that they have always hitherto placed
constitutional guards and restrictions about
them to prevent their being easily tiwown
out. or inconsiderately set aside by amena
ment. But now In Oregon we "have the
Initiative and referendum, where we have
made it free and easy to dig up these ele
mentary foundation sills in our constitu
tionaJ structure, and slide them on greased
skids, as It were, out to the dump pile
Today, a lot of sappers and miners are al
ready at work trying to break down the
y.st and equitable principle that all taxa
tion ought to be equal ana uniTorm, ana
to put In its stead, their own peculiar and
half-baked ideas.
It was going far enough in allowing the
initiative ana referendum, co-orninate wiin
or In an appeal from, the legislature In the
makinr of general legislation ny mass vote.
Instead of by legislative deliberation and
amendment through selected representa
tives, but still subject to wise elementary
constitutional restrictive principles. But it
certainly was an unwise and dangerous In
novation when each and every one of these
many fundamental constitutional provisions
were subjected to the tinkering caprice.
and mood, of any passing vote, of even
any ill attended Tr careless election. It
may be that wisdom belongs solely to the
majority voting, but the experience of tha
nast has been unaNe to so discover.
The initiative and referendum opportunity
to tinker with our elementary principle:
the product of ages of experience and wis
dom was ultimately to secure enactment
Into the laws, of an assorted lot of crank
crudities and vagaries, many of which are
yet kept In cold storage for the future. In
fart, such was the main, but not expressed,
object of Its persistent advocates. Agitators
now think they have us where they want
us. The far-reaching and sweeping effect
of our initiative and referendum, as drafted,
was not realised by our people when voting
for it. It was also a trade and dicker in
pontic in each of the two legislatures (one
passing the hot ball to the other and finally
over to the voters) and also in the conven
tions of the different parties bidding for
votes, and with candidates anxious for
office and ready to promise anything, and
all under the glare of bright, blgh-sound-inc
and noisy trumpets: and lobbied through
from start to the finish, as we all know,
and as Lincoln Stsffens in hi article (in
spired partly, so It is commonly understood,
by Mr. U'Renl in the American Magazine,
now practically admits, it owes its exist
ence to "methods of corruption." as Steffen's
article concedes. Steffens further says that
VRen said that the initiative and referen
dum was only a tool with which to accom
plish end "but his ends, he did not give
away."
As drafted, it la certainly a very dan
gerous toot in the hands of designing
schemers, and the worst two-edged tool that
thoughtless or careless voters ever handled
snd theugh Is capable in wise hands, of
doing good, the initiative and referendum
very es1ly can become an instrument of
great evil. Nobody knows when it may go
off next, nor where it may strike. Real
"reform." so URn told FtetTena, are juet
beginning- Tbay will, he hope, be In full
blast by lBlo.
The considerate wisdom of Oregon ma
jorities will be severely on trial from now
on. Probably they will vote right, but Ore
gon voters are going to be kept dancing in
a hot initiative skillet for some time to
come. Unless our people are careful how
this Oregon "tool' ie used, now and here
after, many who hav rejoiced In the adop
tion of this experiment, may yet go home
to mourn, Let voters be on their guard.

hauling gravel on barges up the Yamhill
River from the gravel bars on the Wil

local contractor has made arrangements
to use 50ft yards at once for concrete

ROAD SHOWS
TO
COME -TO BAKER
Klaw & Erianger Attractions
to Play There Next
Season.
STOCK HOUSE NO LONGER
Empire "Will Take Care of Baker
Company Next Season Cntil .
New Theater Can Be
Built Here.
With the close of the present season,
the Baker theater will cease to be
the home of the Baker Stock Company.
This company will not go out of ex
istence, however, as Its activities will
be transferred to the Kmplre, which
will be extensively remodeled for Ita
use. The Baker will become a "com
bination" theater, playing syndicate
attractions in. connection with the
Heilig. What will be done with the
Stair & Havlln shows, which have
heretofore been seen at the Empire,
has not been settled, but some arrange
ment will be made to take care of
them, as George L. Baker has a long
term contract to play them in Port
land. t
This and much more interesting In
formation waa given out last night by
Manager Baker immediately upon his
return from Seattle, where he has been
in conference with John Cort for sev
eral days. For some time arrange
ments have been in progress to estab
lish a double circuit in the West for
the attractions of the Klaw & Erianger
syndicate and John Cort and Calvin S.
Heilig, representing the Northwestern
Theatrical Association, have been do
ing a great deal of mysterious Jour
neying up and down the Coast in the
interests of the new play. They have
been assisted and advised in the mat
ter by Mr. Baker, especially as regards
the local situation. For a long time
he has been contending that the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Slope
cltlea had developed sufficiently to
warrant the establishment of the same
policy that prevails in the large cities
east of the Missouri River.
Means lower Prices.
The consummation of this play in
sures Portland of all the theatrical ad--vantages
enjoyed by Philadelphia.
Washington, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kan
sas City and others, and means that
we will have a full season of high
class traveling attractions, playing
week stands, at popular prices. Many
of the shows . that have heretofore
played at 1.60 here will be seen at
the Baker at much lower admittance
rates, practically 50 per cent lowdr
than the former figures. Such popu
lar successes as "The Gingerbread
Man," "Little Johnnie .Tones." "Forty
five Minutes From Broadway," and
dozens of others that have been at the
Heilig and Marquam will be on the
Baker's Ifst.
A five-year contract has been signed
between the Northwest Association and
George L. Baker and all the preliminary
arrangements are complete. John Cort
left last night for New York, where he
will be joined by Calvin S. Heilig, and
together they will make the bookings for
the new popular price circuit. The as
sociation has completed similar arrange
ments In all the big cities in the West
ern territory and now has a double
string of theaters and will practically
have a monopoly of the theatrical busi
ness in this section.
The following theaters are Included in
the deal: The Heilig and Baker in Port
land, the Moore and Grand in Seattle,
the Van Ness and American in San
Francisco, the Mason and the New Ma
jestic, which Is now building at Los
Angeles, and the Broadway and Tabor
in Denver. This is one of the most im
portant deals ever consummated in
Western theatrical circles. In Portland
the Heilig will continue to accommodate
the most expensive attractions, and there
will be no chatige in management, Wil
liam T. Pangle continuing. All the book
ings will be for week stands, however,
and the prices will remain as they are.
excepting that nothing less than strictly
,1.50 attractions or higher will be booked.
Baker Retains Management.
Mr. Baker will retain the management
of his theater, and as has been stated
will offer a full season of Klaw &
Erianger shows at popular prices. This
same policy will be pursued in other
cities. At the close of the present season
the Baker stock will go to Seattle, whero
a Summer engagement will be played at
the Moore. The stock star system will
be followed and some of the foremost
stars in the country will be brought out
for short engagements. There will be
no changes in the present organization
however, and when the next regular sea
son opens it will be brought back intact
and housed at the Empire.
Mr. Baker announces that this arrange
ment will be temporary, however, and
that he expects shortly to complete nego
tiations for the building of a new tne
ater to accommodate the company. He
declares positively that this latest the
ater Is not a paper one. and expects to
have it in readiness within a year, or 18
months at most. What disposition will be
made of the Stalr-Havlln shows is as yet
undetermined. He hss arranged to lease
the Baker In Denver to a Spokane mana
ger, who will personally direct the stock
company there, and Mr. Baker will retire
from the active stock field in the Colorado
citv. Walter Reed, who has been resident
manager, will remain, however, but the
company Is to be reorganised, lsetta
Jewel becoming leading woman' with
Franklin Underwood playing opposite
he.
Public Will Be Benefited.
In thus becoming an active factor in
the Northwestern Association, George Ba
ker makes another decided advance in
the theatrical business. He started in the
most humble capacity and has met and
overcome many obstacles. It Is no small
satisfaction to himself and his friends
that he has succeeded In becoming one of
the most prominent managers In the
Western country. For a number of years
he was In the employ of Calvin Heilig
and now becomes a working partner with
him and Mr. Cort.
The theater-going public will profit
sjreatly through the new "double-circuit"
system, in that many attractions that
they have been unable to see owing to
the fact that they could not secure time
here will now play Portland at either the
Heilig or the Baker. The runs will be
longer snd the price of admission for at
least half of them will be greatly reduced.
The new rder of things becomes ef
fective about September 1.

LESSON III GIVING
Brougher Speaks on "Bargain
Counter Religion."
SEES SPIRIT IN CHURCH
Pastor Declares Many Members At
tend Services for Selfish Rea
sons and Tells What Real
'Object Should Be.
Dr. J. Whiteomb Brougher preached
last night to a large audience at the
White Temple on "Bargajn Counter Re
gion. Among otner tnings ne eaia:
The bargain counter must be con
sidered from two sides. It must be
reckoned with from the merchant's
standpoint and also from the viewpoint
or tne people. Tne mertnani iooks
upon the bargain counter as an adver
tising -medium. As one manager oi
department store said to me. "The bar
gain counter holds the same relation in
its attractive power for women as a
wide-open molasses barrel does for
flies." As such, therefore, it becomes
a successful method for getting the
people In the store so as to sell them
otner goois at a reasonable pront.
A genuine bargain sale means the
actual selling at a. very low price of
goods that are positively or tne vaiue
advertised. The difficulty in such mat
ters Is the fact that too often such
sales are false. There may be one arti
cle of the value advertised, while all
the rest may be inferior or shopworn
Broods and in no sense a bargain. There
-are merchants who will increase the
price of an article 25 per cent ana tnen

as thev asked for it in the first place.
All snch sales are. of course, rrauau

would not stoop to such a method,
there are others who do resort to such
practices in order to attract the public

, On the other hand a real bargain

many people. As Barnum said, "The
American people like to be fooled."
They !ik the excitement attendant
upon a big crowd. '
The spirit of selfishness manifests
itself pre-eminently at the bargain
counter. A noted manager said to me:
"Ladies frequently cease to be ladies
at the bargain counter." They have
the gambling spirit and are everlast
ingly seeking to get something for
nothing. It Is this desire to get as
much as possible for as little as pos
sible that easily leads many people to
patronize the bargain counter and run
from store, to store as they are an
nounced. This same spirit is carried Into re
ligion. There are hundreds of people
who are willing and who make a prac
tice of going to church and enjoying all
the privileges that an Interesting, in
structive and entertaining service can
furnish and never do a thing to sup
port it. Such conduct is born of sel
fishness and Is absolutely contrary to
the spirit of Christianity. Tt Is aston
ishing how many people both In and
out of the church are actuated by this
spirit. In the eighth chapter of II
Corinthians the Apostle Paul presents
the great motives for giving and de
clares that 1t Is one of the last graces
that the Christian attains. I want to
notice for a few moments some of the
arguments that Paul presents for con
quering the spirit that seeks to get
something for nothing, or at least to
get as much as possible by giving as
little as possible.
The great principle that controls tha
life of an unregenerate man Is selfish
ness. It frequently controls the life of
professed Christians. No selfish, stingy
man is ever liberal In his gifts to the
cause of Christ. It was this srclrlt that
Jesus Christ came into the world to
overcome. God gave his only begotten
son. Heaven's word is "give." Earth's
word is "get."
A person will give to that which he
loves. P-iul urged the Corinthians to
prove the sincerity of their love by
their giving. The surest testimony of
our love is the giving of ourselves
first to the object loved and then the
f riving of our mono-. Our lack of love
s manifested In our lack-of liberality.
Paul urges the Corinthians to give
liberallv so as to proviae tilings non
estlv in the sight of men as well as in
the "sight of God. It is a sad commen
tary on Christianity that a church
should bft considered one of the most
doubtful debtors In the world. It comes
about through the fact that so many
people are willing to shirk their re
sponsibility. Every member of a Bap
tist Church at least agrees when he
Joins that church to give cheerfully,
as God prospers him, towards the ex
penses of the church. It Is the excep
tional case, however, wheij you find a
church where more than one-half of
the members are regular contributors
toward Its expenses.
The man who Is afraid to invest his
money will never increase it for the
future. We must exhale in order to
Inhale. Tt is "more blessed to give
than to receive." Do we believe it?
The proof of our falh is in our giving.
Jesus Christ has taught distinctly that
the only wsy that we can lay up treas
ures In heaven is by having our money
transmuted Into Christian cnaracter.
iriVe dollars spent in riotous living wl'l
reflect upon our character and produce
licentiousness. lve aonars spent in a
manly Christian life conies back upon
us in thst kind of character. This is
a m-onderful fact that Jesus Christ can
transmute cash into character and lay
It np In heaven. Judged by our use
of money, what would be tha world
