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

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

event. In those day, Smith son paid put
little attention to the hurdles, devoting
most of his effort to the 1t and 23-yard

him to be without a superior on the Coast.

Replies to Ifeney's Attack.
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.

The custody of the 6-year-old aon of

Mrs. Vanderbilt insists that the child

The principal question at Issue ls said

PENDLETON. Or.. April a. -( Special.)
President J. 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-

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.
