Or., April 3. -(Special.) Forrest SmlUifton. world s rriampiMi htirdter, and for several years a student at the college, arrived yesterday, and at once went into training for cominK Athletic contests m the Cofist. He -has not yet registered, but la expected to take special work at the institution. He met with hearty welcome from many of his old classmates, a number of whom are still at the insti tution. It was on the field on which he Is now training that Smlthmm was de veloped under the -tutorship of the late "lad" Trine. It was there that he first ran the lfln-yard dash in ten seconds, and there that both he and Floyd Wil liams defeated Dan Kelly in the same event. In those day, Smith son paid put little attention to the hurdles, devoting most of his effort to the 1t and 23-yard dnshfw, at which "Dad"' Trine believed him to be without a superior on the Coast. tn nn evil day, supposedly from booting a football, a bone in Smith son s instep sot cracked, misplaced or something else, and It was while thus suffering that Smlttwon was defeated by Kelly in the meet at Eugene, the third time those two sprlTrters met.

A LEANT, On, April 3. ( Snecla3. Before an audience which crowded the Circuit Court-room of the Courthouse and filled the halls adjoining. Senator Fulton spoke in Albany tonight. He vig orously defended his public career and , attacked his critics, and his address was . constantly interrupted by applause. He was Introduced by Hon. H. H. Hewitt, who spoke in praise of Senator Fulton as a man and a statesman and the high character of his stewardship. The Sen 1 trior devoted most of bis address to a reply to Heneys attacks. He told how Heney had sought for months to indict him, and falling, had sent a secret letter to President Roosevelt to discredit Ful . ton with the Administration. Excerpfs from this letter were read. T When Senator Fulton took up the af fidavit Heney read in his Congregjaional Church address In Portland, the name of J. L. Smith was greeted with laughter and Jeers. Fulton read an affidavit fron J. F. Powell, of this city, denying Ful tiut's connection with Smith's alleged bribery. Powell was in the audience, and as Smith was a. former Linn County man. this part of the Senator's address was at gi en t local In terest . Mr. Fulton . quoted from Shakespearei "That the souls of brutes infuse them selves Into the trunk of men." and said. "As that was applied In the days of , old, T Fay H of Francis J. Heney tonight." Senator Fulton also spoke on his position on pending legislation and other public questions. He held an informal recep tlon both preceding and fotlnwing his ad dress and expressed confidence that he would receive the Republican nomination In the primaries and the popular indorse ment in June. Senator Fulton spoke at Lehnnon this afternoon before a large crowd. tllTK TiOWKLL IS FOR Fl ITON Pormrr 'Political Opponent lrrlares for the Senator. PF,Nni.ETON Or.. April 3. (Special.)

No man ts perfect, and the state cannot afford to lose the services of its ablest men because, perchance, they have at some rime In the past engaged in practical politics. Seattle Shipping Notes.

This Is said to be in accordance with the wishes of all concerned, Including the Immediate relatives of both Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt. No member of the Vander bilt family has yet attended the hear- OREGON -Of u& li T'J rLV BEING UKlD UErr irtgs, but it is believed that Mrs. Alfred O. Vanderbilt will be called to testify as to the date of her marriage. The custody of the 6-year-old aon of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt Is expected to be one of tho Questions which the referee will have to decide. It is understood that Mrs. Vanderbilt insists that the child be left In her charge, subject to such re strictlons in the matter of paternal visits as the court may see fit to Impose. The principal question at Issue ls said to be the amount of alimony to be paid by Mr. Vanderbilt. It is .reported that Mr. Vanderbilt hag consented to the pay ment of a lumb sum of $1,500,000, and that if this Is accepted as satisfactory, his defense will be of a passive charac ter, but that If it be rejected the action will be actively contested.

N. Burgess, of the State Woolgrowers Association, has called a meeting of the executive committee for April 10, In Pendleton, at which time a petition will be framed and forwarded to the Forestry Bureau. This will request that for this year onty an increased num ber of sheep above the allotments be ai lowed on the National reserves in Ore gon. It will be asked that the number be left the same as last year at least. It is said that if the sheepmen are compelled to sell off now to the number they are allowed to take on to the reserves, !t would mean a great sacrifice, slnoe the present market is very much off owing to the recent financial disturbance, Sheepmen claim there is an actual short age of mutton sheep in the United States and that the present low prices are caused by the financial disturbance and not because ' of an over supply. They therefore say that if they can he allowed to take a part of their extra sheep on to ths reserves they will be able to come out all right, otherwise they will be hard hit.

WEST MUST UNITE mportant Legislation Pending at National Capital. TEAM WORK WOULD WIN Hrj FVu-ra Homefltead Bill, tn Which States nf West Are Vitally In terested, Among Measures That Need Aid. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. April i. There ere several Im portant bills pending before Senate and House, or In their committees, of great Interest to the West, any one of which can probably be passed If Western Sen ators and Congressmen will get together and make a united fight. Most conspic uous among them at the present time ls the 320-acre dry farm homestead bill, a measure that means a great deal to the states west of the Missouri Jliver. In many of which settlement ls practically checked because the best lands have passed to private ownership, and what remains cannot be successfully entered under the existing homestead law. With few exceptions, the Western con tingent In Congress Is heartily In favor of the bill, but the opposition of a few individuals tends to hamper tha passage of this bill. The President is in favor of an enlarged homestead bill. and. In a general way at least, approves the meas ure recently reported to the House of Representatives. The Public Lands Com mission, after an exhaustive study of Western land conditions, recommended such a law, and the Interior Depart ment, while not In favor of the ldentlral bill now pending, approve the general idea. Objection From TTieoriMs. The bill now up for consideration was drafted at a general conference of West ern Senators and Representatives, and It ls notable that the Westerners who do not accept the bill are those who did not attend the conference. Moreover, it Is a fact that the men objecting to this bill are basing their objections largely on theoretical and not on practical grounds, and If forced to make a fight In the open, would be defeated. These men can he forced into the open if the friends of the measure get together and demand action. The dry farm bill can pass If Its friends insist upon it. Another most meritorious measure hanging In the balance is the Borah bill, providing funds for building schools, in stalling sewer and water sj'stems and making other "municipal improvements In towns established on Government ir rigation projects. This bill proposes to donate to such towns all moneys de rived from the sale of town lots, a fund which, In most Instances, will be. ample for the purpose. Growth Is Retarded. Experience has shown that towns on Government projects have been slower of development man towns on Carey act projects. The latter have grown rap idly. iArge schools hare been erected; adequate water and sewer systems have been installed, streets have been Im proved, etc., whereas tn towns on Gov ernment projects the citleens have been obliged to go down into their own pock ets to provide and maintain schools and property-holders have been compelled to bear the entire expense of all civic Im provements. Naturally the comparison haa been detrimental to Government proj ects, and prospective homeseekers, vis iting first the Government and then the Carey act town, have displayed a prefer ence for the latter. The Borah brill will correct this and enable the town on Government proj ects to prosper and grow as rapidly as the neighboring towns on private proj ects. This bill, however, has been de layed through failure to get considera tion In the Senate committee on Irriga tion, while the French bill, which ls identical, ls delayed for the same reason in the House. The committees on irri gation do not meet regularly, and have become decidedly .negligent, and if this townslte bill should fall to psss at tne present session, the blame will rest en tirely upon the two committees which have displayed an utter lack of interest. It Is up to the respective chairmen of these committees to "get busy." Dralnagtt Bill Held Back. The National drainage bill, which con templates the reclamation of swamp and overflowed lands In all parts of the Unit er States, stands little chance of passing this session. Though it la a measure of gTeat merit, -there does not seem to be that Interest that Is essential to force through a bill of such magnitude and im portance. It Is difficult to explain this lack of interest, too, for there is scarcely a state that has not some lands that would be benefitted by a National drain age law. Yet the fact remains that few men have taken hold of the bill, and until there is a more general Interest nothing can be accomplished. The drain age subject seems to have been shelved, without protest from any quarter. The South would be the greatest bene ficiary from such a law, for the bulk of swamp lands are located in the South ern states: yet the North, the Middle West and the Pacific Coast would all profit In time, for all have swamp or overflowed lands: Indeed all hut a very few of the Rocky Mountain states would ultimately benefit from the enactment of the drainage law. Mnst Work Vp Sentiment. In all probability the drainage bill will go over, and sentiment will have to be worked up gradually, Just as sentiment was worked up in behalf of the National irrigation law. It took years to get Con gress to pass that law. but now that it Is passed. It ls acknowledged, even by those who opposed, to be one of the most beneficial acts ever passed hy Congress. Drainage legislation is bound to come In time, but It must be preceded by a gen eral campaign of education. At the present moment there are few men In Congress who have any intelligent Idea of what the drainage bill proposes to ac complish. These men have got to be in structed and interested before they will act. Vicious Act Is Safe. There is one hill that Congress will certainly not pass this session, yet one that should have been enacted long ago a bill repealing the timber and stone act and substituting some more practicable statute providing for the disposal of Government timber. It has been amply demonstrated that the tim ber and stone act is vicious and un just. It induces men to commit per jury; otherwise it is not a practicable measure: it disposes of Government timber In many Instances, for a small fraction of Its true value, thereby rob bing the Federal treasury of moneys which It should receive. Yet in spite of these recognized objections to the law. it still stands, and is likely to stand for at least another year. The Senate committee on public lands has not given any consideration to thJ law this session; last session It reported a repeal bill, coupled with a plan of selling the timber at stump- '" ;',;.'.";' 1'lt fry-,""" ' 11 'iS ;t; ill: For she cannot help it. Women are often cross, irritable, hysteric, and declare they are driven to distrac tion at the slightest provocation. Men eannot understand vhy this should be so. To them it is a mys tery because in nine times out of ten this condition is caused by a 6erious feminine derangement. . A remedy is necessary which acts directly upon the organs afflicted, re storing a healthy normal condition to the feminine system, which will quickly dispel all hysterical, nervous and irritable conditions. Such is LYDIA E-PINKHAftl'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND The following letter serves to prove this fact. Mrs. Mattie Cbpenhave, 315 So. 21st St., Parsons, Kans writes: "For two vears 1 suffered from the worst forms of feminine ills, until I was almost driven frantic.

Address, Lynn, Mass, n?9 value. The House committee has never gone as far as the Senate com mittee, and unlftss that committee overrides Its chairman. It -never will vote to repeal the timber and stone act Killed Borah's BUI. Some time aj?o Senator Borah Intro duced a bill repealing: the timber and ptone law, and providing no substitute. His Idea was to wipe the present law off the statutes entirely, and then take up the framing of a substitute. His plan was indorsed by the Secretary of the Interior. But the committee stuck the bill In a pigeon-hole, and Senator Borah, not being a member of the committee, was powerless. Unfortunately, there is no man on the puclic lands committee who is par tloularly interested In this timber-land problem, and that In part accounts for the inaction; another reason is that on the committee are men very friendly to large lumber interests, and the lumber Interests are opposed to repeal of the existing law, as It would force up the price of Government timber. They overlook the fact that It would also force up the price of the timber they now own. New Astoria Building. ASTORIA, Or., April 3. (Special.) B. M.
