E
OF LAND GRAFT
Henry E. G. Cooke, Operating
in New York, Arrested at
Baker City.
$2000 FROM $100 INVESTED
Stock Sold in Oregon Ranching &
Timber Co. Entrymen Brought
to Stat to File on Land
Which Was to Go to Cooke.
Henry E. G. Cooke has been arrested
at Baker City on an indictment returned
by a Federal grand jury of Xew York
state charging conspiracy to defraud the
Government of public lands located in
this state.
Cook is the official head of the Ore
gon Ranching & Timber Company and
the Southwest Texas Development Com
pany, wtth headquarters, in New York
City. He is charged with organizing a
fradulent scheme for acquiring several
thousand acres of valuable timberlans in
Eastern Oregon. A Deputy United States
Marshal has gone to Baker City and un
less Cooke furnishes the required bonds
he will be brought to this city and lodged
in jail awaiting further instructions from
the East.
Cooke's alleged plan of operating sur
passed the nervy land-grabbing tactics
heretofore employed in this state by C.
A. Smith and other millionaire timber
land speculators of Minnesota and Wis
consin, to say nothing of those of the
smaller looters, which were disclosed in
the public land-fraud investigations.
Cooke is said to have operated in Ore
gon under the name of the Oregon Ranch
ing & Timber Company and. it is re
ported, in the execution of his scheme
brought a carload of New York people
out here to enter on the desired lands.
Entrymen were secured by means of
correspondence accompanied by a pros
pectus compiled by the enterprising pro
moter, who promised through his "get-rich-quick"
scheme to guarantee those
participating a return of ?2u00 from an in
vestment of $100 and all within 90 days.
By means of circular letters Cooke in
duced various persons to purchase ten
shares of stock in the Oregon Ranching
& Timber Company for which $100 was
to be paid. On this stock as collateral
the company advanced $400, the necessary
funds to file on and complete proof on
a quarter-section of Oregon timberland.
Under these terms the entryman was
brought to Oregon, filed on the land and
boarded at Cook's ranch at a rate of
$1 a day. The terms of the written con
tract entered into between the entryman
and Cooke provided that the former
should receive $2000 not when final proof
to the land was made and deeded to
Cooke.
In his circular letter Cooke frankly ad
mitted that the transaction was a ques
tionable one but he said the Government
had knowledge of his operations but was
unable to interfere for the reason that
to all purposes they were entirely
"legal. "
COURT UPHOLDS HUM AXE LAW
Wolvertou Declares Valid Statute
Relating to Stock in Transit.
Judge Wolverton yesterday upheld the
constitutionality of the Federal statute
of 1906 imposing a penalty on transporta
tion companies for carrying stock in con
tinuous transit for more than 28 hours
without rest, water and feed. The ques
tion was raised in the consideration of
a demurrer filed by the O. R. & N. Com
pany in a suit filed by the United States
Attorney for violating- the law in the
shipment of a carload of SI hogs. The
demurrer was overruled. Judge Wolver
ton holding that the law originated from
the promptings of humanity and the pro
tection that belonged to the owner of
cattle against the loss that resulted from
the inconsiderate treatment of stock while
In transit.
In another case, involving a violation of
the same statute, the railroad company
had applied for an interpretation of the
law as to whether it contemplated a
penalty for each carload of cattle included
in a shipment. In accordance with a re
cent decision by the Court of Appeals,
Judge Wolverton ruled that where several
shipments belonging to different owners
are included in the same train by which
the law is transgressed, a penalty is re
coverable from each shipment only and
not each car. The penalty for the vio
lation of this statute Is $500 for each ship
ment. THOUGHTS BEFORE WORDS
Writer Defends Mrs. Fiske's Indis
tinct Enunciation.
PORTLAND. July 11. (To the Editors
After reading The Oregonian editorial
on "Mrs. Fiske and Ibsen." I offer my
thoughts on the suhject of enunciation
and distinct speaking.
Can any one under the sway of com
plex and Intense emotion think to speak
distinctly? Does not the voice choke up
and become almost inaudible under-ex-
1 treme excitement and feeling? Mrs.
Flake's performance would be spoiled if
she had allowed her thoughts to dwell
. one moment on distinct speaking. What
reason have we to suppose that Rebecca
spoke distinctly? Remember thoughts are
, back of the lines. In fact they prompt
the lines. There is where Mrs. Flske's
genlue lies. AVatch her face and you
can see the thoughts passing In her mind.
'Robert Mantell. In his portrayal Qf,
'Hamlet. " depended largely on elocu
tional effects, and this spoiled his solil
oquy. Whenever he forgot his distinct
enunciation and the Inflexion of his voice,
he did excellent work. His whisper was
distinct and no doubt it could be heard
in the gallery, but was it appropriate or
in good taste? I wonder if Hamlet prided
himself on his whisper.
One word in regard to the actress play
ing the part of the unfortunate Queen.
Her mtnd was wholly concentrated on
distinct enunciation and careful pronun
ciation. 1 felt it. and that was all. Her
performance was thoughtless and stilted.
bet us be thankful that we have an
actress who can give us thoughts Instead
of dead, soulless words, even if we do
miss some of those thoughts, and let us
love and be true to the truth in dramatic
art. and not be misled by empty show
and false acting.

THE CHAUTAUQUA SPIRIT
Seattle Pastor Commends Viewpoint

SEATTLE. Wash., July 10. (To the

mending; a worthy enterprise, is much
the same as thanking it for being it-

self. Its place in the journalism of
the country has been made by its very
ability to see and its willingness to
speak. None the less. I am going to
ask permission to express my thanka
for its thoroughly characteristic utter
ance in last Thursday's issue.
The present session of Chautauqua at
Gladstone Park Is now sufficiently ad
vanced to make fair estimate possible.
Close acquaintance with the facts com
pels honest praise. For many months
President Hawley and . Secretary Cross
have been untiring in their leadership
of the executive committee in prepara
tion of a busier and better programme
than has ever before been offered tn
the Pacific Northwest. That pro
gramme is now in operation at Glad
stone Park. The place, the people, the
atmosphere, the spirit, the uplift, the
outlook, the fellowship. . the aspira
tion everything is sweet and whole
some and helpful. There is health
under the trees. There is fun in the
sports. There is edification in the mul
titudinous courses of study and devo
tion. All this and more is in The Orego
nian editorial referred to, so sympa
thetically conceived and so admirably
expressed that it is a positive joy to
read the words. The Chautauqua idea
has so far justified itself that now
large numbers about Chautauqua cen
ters look year by year to such pro
grammes for both physical and spir
itual recreation. My joy in The Ore-gonians-
splendid utterance lies in the
fact that it. who sees so clearly, has
spoken so strongly in commendation of
the efficient workers and the respon
sive, growing public who make the
Gladstone Park Chautauqua. The edi
torial has occasioned widespread, ap
preciative comment. Several thousand
persons on the Chautauqua grounds in
dorse the sentiments I am writing, so
please think of them as thanking you,
as in their name I thank you. ,

REPORTS 01 CROPS W
FARMERS GENERALLY LOOKING
ON DARK SIDE.
Bulletins Received Weekly From
' Railroad Agents Show Exist
ing Conditions Bad.
Varying reports of crop damage in the
wheat fields continue to pour into the
Portland railroad offices, where a weekly
telegraphic crop report is received
throughout the season. Yesterday's bul
letins from the interior were as various
as the localities represented, some re
porting extensive damage, while others
were more optimistic than earlier In the
season.
These crop reports come from the rail
road agents, who are instructed to make
trips into the nearby country and talk
with the farmers, getting their exact
opinions of the crop outlook. Railroad
men say, however, that unfavorable
weather is eagerly seized upon by the
farmers as an excuse to predict heavy
losses. They say that farmers as a
class are not at all optimistic and are
rather inclined to look at the darker side
of things when crop prospects are being
discussed.
Grain Is doing fairly well In the Walla
Walla country, according to the bulletin
received yesterday by the general freight
department of the O. R. & N. Company.
It Is estimated that the yield will be but
15 per cent less than that of last year.
More damage has been done in the Pa
louse country, according to the railroad's
informant. There it is said the past week
of dry, warm weather has been most un
favorable and late Spring grain is in a
bad way. While Fall grain will be
about 85 per cent of an average crop, it
is said Spring grain will not amount to
more than 65 per cent of an average
yield, and rain is badly needed.
A warm rain fell over the Grand
Ronde Valley yesterday that was very
beneficial to the growing grain, and has
improved the outlook in that district
greatly.
In the Powder River Valley also there
has been rain during the past two days
that helped the grain yield considerably.
Conditions are reported as unchanged
In Gilliam County, where Spring grain is
said to be suffering for rain. It is said
that Spring wheat and barley has been
damaged 60 per cent while Fall wheat
has been damaged 20 per cent.

WORK BEGINS OJT EAST TWENTY-EIGHTH-STREET BRIDGE OVER SC L.L.I VAN'S GULCH.
The Pacific Bridge Works Company has started actual construction on the reinforced concrete bridge across Sullivan's Gulch at East Twenty
eishih street. It will be over 5)0 feet long; and of solid concrete throughout. Excavations for the footings of Supporting piers of the bridges have
been finished, and the erection of the piers has started at the north side of the gulch, where also the "forms" for the reinforced concrete are being;
placed in position. Steel bars and Iron for reinforcing all the parts of the bridge are being delivered direct on the ground from the O. R. & N.
Railway, which passes under the bridge. The old trestle that spanned the gulch on East Twenty-eighth street has been retained and-is being used
by the contracting firm. For the erection of the bridge the company has a considerable plant a house in the gulch where the wooden "forms" for
the concrete are being made and where the tools are kept, and also a power concrete mixer. An office for the superintendent and for the plans
and specifications stands on the south bank. The bridge will cost JS0.000. It is the first reinforced concrete bridge built in Portland. As there
are no difficulties to overcome in securing solid footings it is expected that work on the bridge will go forward rapidly.
LAY OUT PONY
POLO GROUNDS
Country Club to Introduce
Sport to Pacific
Northwest.
FORM LINK IN CHAIN
Proposed to Connect Portland With
Polo Clubs In Canada and Cali
fornia Grounds to Be Laid
Out Inside ' Track.
Preliminary plans for laying out of
spacious grounds fOF continuous pony
polo at the Country Club site are al
ready well under way. President S. G.
Reed, of the Country Club and Livestock
Association, has this .matter personally
In charge and is working out the de
tails of the scheme so as not to inter
fere with any of the plans for the
race and livestock meet this Fall.
The pony polo grounds will be laid
out entirely Inside the mile track on
the floor of the great amphitheater,
where the races will be held, and will
embrace a tract 450x150 yeards. every
square inch of the padded and sodded
surface to be as level as a billiard-table.
The grounds will also be laid off
so that on the afternoons when the
polo players are not busy with their
tournaments golf enthusiasts may hoM
forth.
Getting Pointers on Grounds.
President Reed is in correspondence
with the stewards of the leading polo
organizations throughout the country,
and has asked for detailed plans of the
grounds as laid out and prepared by the
foremost clubs of the- United States. He
expects to have matters in such shape
that the board of directors can take
proper action and appropriate a suita
ble sura to Improve the grounds as
soon as the arrangements for the race
meet and livestock show have been
disposed of. It is even hoped to have
the polo field in shape for some lively
skirmishes this Fall following the
races.
The polo and golf grounds will not
be handled directly under the jurisdic
tion of the directors of the Country
Club and Livestock Association, but will
become a part of the social activities of
the Country Club department of the
association. The social end of the or
ganization has for the time being been
disregarded entirely in-order that no
outside matters may interfere with the
holding of a most successful race meet
in September, but within a few weeks
arrangements will be made for the or
ganization of a Country Club devoted
mainly to social functions, and the
management of this club will have
charge of such things as pony polo,
golf and other out-door sports. Mem
berships In the Country Club will carry
such privileges.
Link in Polo Club Chain.
"There has been a growing demand
for such a feature in connection with
our other plans." -said Mr. Reed last
night, "and we are working out pre
liminary plans so that we mav be readv
to take hold of the pony polo and golf
features as soon as the race and live
stock meet are off our hands. There
are some exceptionally talented polo
players here in Portland, and there are
hosts of them in British Columbia, Vic
toria and Vancouver, particularly.
They have splendid tournaments ud
there, and in California there are a
number of clubs, so that by making
-ortiana a link in the chain we could
form a Pacific Coast Polo Association.
and run off tournaments over the entire
circuit. I believe this sport will arouse
as widespread interest as do the Coast
tennis tournaments and other athletic
contests. We do not propose to limit
our work solely to the Coast. We hope
to De aDJe to hold out strong enough
inducements to bring Eastern polo
players and golfers out here for at least
one large meet each season."
The polo grounds, according to the
preliminary sketches, will be laid out
directly in front of the grand stand.

SALARIES PUBLIC OFFICIALS
T. T. Geer Hint That Supreme Court
Can't Be Unconstitutional.
PENDLETON. Or.. July 12. (To the
Editor.) The Oregonian says in today's
issue: "Tnus speaks the editor of the
Pendleton Tribune: The point attempted
in attacking a public official for accept
ing a salary which everybody admits was
allowed by law is not clear.' Three plain
errors in one short sentence. First, no
attack has been made upon an official;
the attack is upon the system of looting
the public treasury in violation of the
constitution. Second, not everybody ad
mits that the salaries are allowed by law:
on the contrary a very large majority of
the people believe that the constitution
means what It says when it declares that
certain officials shall receive certain fixed
salaries. Third, the point attempted 'Is
entirely clear that of establishing the
custom of obeying the constitution In
stead of evading it."
This is very emphatically said, but
hardly disposes of the question. For in
stance. Governor Ixrd, whom The Ore
gonian will admit is one of the best con
stitutional lawyers in Oregon, and who
for 16 years was a member of the State
Supreme Court, said to the legislature
in his message to that body in 1899: "Nor
is the objection to an act directly In
creasing the salary of the Governor of
any constitutional weight. It Is entirely
within the constitutional province of the
Legislature to raise the salary to such
sum as Is just and proper In Its judg
ment, and the best lawyers and judges
some of whom served In the convention
which framej the constitution have ex
pressed opinions on this subject with a
unanimity which could not exist if there
were any doubt of the constitutional
r,ower of the Legislature to do so."
This, it would seem, coming from Judge
Lord, would be a sufficient reason tor
everybody accepting the matter, as at
least having some standing in both law
and constitutional sanction. And, what
is The Oregor.ian's opinion of the ques
tion viewed from the fact that ror many,
manv years the membtrs of the Supreme
Court have taken for their services more
than twice the sum you contend is the
constitutional allowance? -
In oth?r words, doesn't the Supreme
Court know what is constitutional? If
It doesn't, who does? And can a u
preme Court dp an unconstitutional thing,
anyway? Doesn't the fact that it does
n thing necessarily make It constuu
ional? T. T. GBER.
NO WATER TO FIGHT FIRE
Serious Blaze at Arleta Allowed to
Burn Itself Out.
Three buildings were destroyed in the
fire early yesterday morning In the sub
urbs of Arleta, -on the Mount Scott car
line, causing a loss estimated at $10,000.
On account of there being no water the
fire burned itself out. The buildings de
stroyed were the cottage of D. L. Day.
the grocery store of A. Chisholm & Son
and the frame building occupied by the
drugstore of W. J. Armitage. Fire broke
out in the drugstore and spread to the
home of D. L. Day shortly after 2
o'clock, and the family had barely time
to escaDe. so rapidly did the flames
sDread through the structure. They
saved only a few articles. The fire spread
to the grocery store and the Day house.
thence to the real estate office of Palmer
& Co. Only the books were saved from
the Chisholm grocery store. It was found
that there was no water, and the bucket
brigade which formed to fight the fire
and protect adjacent property was help
less. An alarm was sent to the Sunny
side fire company, which responded, mak
ing the two-mile run In good time.
The loss on the grocery store is esti
mated at $4000. and that on the drugstore
at $3000. There was Insurance of $3000
on the gocery, but little Insurance was
carried on the drugstore. The loss of the
Day home was complete. . there being no
insurance. The origin of the fire can
only be conjectured.
The water shortage was the subject of
comment yesterday in this suburb, and it
was decided to hold a meeting tonight at
Kern Park to Investigate the cause of
the shortage. This Is the second fire at
Arleta in the past few months.

Good roads is a subject that Is to
receive much attention from the Port

roads convention will be held at the
club convention hall on Tuesday. Aug
ust 11, with morning, afternoon and
night sessions. Special rates of one
and one-third fare for the round trip
will be made by the railroad and the
attendance promises to be large.
During the past two weeks there
has been much discussion of the good
roads movement at the Commercial
Club by the members. Mote time has
been given to talking on this subject
than to the pcl'tical situation. Almost
every gathjringr that has been held at
the jlub recently h&a brought up this
topic. The dairymen have tken the
matter up. and fruit-growers and auto
mobile owners are equally interested.
There is an insistent demand, coroirg
from practically all classes, that

other cities of the state are of one mind
on the same subject. Many of the cities
of the Willamette Valley and Eastern
Oregon are laying hard surface pave-
ments ani everywhere throughout the
state there is more enthusiasm about
good roads than ever before.
The railroads too, are anxious for
the improvement of the state's high
ways and they agreed readily to mak

tend the convention. Tickets will be
good the day before and the day after
the meeting so that the convention may
be extended over the second day if
necessary.
An Interesting programme is being
prepared, but there will be no tire
some, theoretical speeches. Practical
men will be secured and practical
questions discussed. The Good Roads
Associations of Oregon and Washing

Industrial bodies throughout the 3tate,
county courts and judges, editors,
mayors and county and state officials
have been invited and it is hoped to have
a large representation present from every
section of the state.

A Message From
the President
GOOD CHEER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
The Brown Shoe Company's shipments for
the month of June were $S52.503-0. and,
according to published reports, we believe
these re the greatest shipments of any shoe
nouse lor the same period in this country.
During; the past Spring shipping season,
from December 12, 1901. to July 1. 100S, we
show a total loss In shipments of S29.07.20
over the same period of the preceding year,
but as our shipments show a gain of over
One Million dollars per yesr for the last
five successive years, and, as our shipments
for the first six months of 1107 were one
million dollars $1.000.000) greater than our
shipments were for the first six months of
190. our business for the first half of the
present year is very encouraging, especially
in view of the fact that our sales depart
ment does not remember of a condition tun
less It may have been In 1893) when the re
tailers were so universally disposed to defer
placing orders for roods Intended for future
use.
However, for the past four weeks we have
been on the gain s:de in Sales except for one
week, and we believe that our Incoming
business during July and August will show
a good Increase for these months, also that
same will be the case for the lost four
months of the year if the crop of the coun
try are a fair average as' now seems to be
the Indications, and that our Company's
shipments for the year 1008 will show a
nice gain over 1007.
We also believe the general business of the
country for the last six months of this year
will reflect the short purchases of the first
six months In the way of a material increase
In volume.
Our eight great factories are now turning
out their respective specialty brands with
a greater degree of excellence than ever be
fore in the history of our country.

Backbone of Hot Weather Said to
Have Been Broken.
Cooler weather and showers are prom

degrees during the afternoon, with the
minimum temperature 60 degrees.
Furthermore, and best news of all,
showery conditions prevail throughout
the Pacific Northwest and moisture has
fallen during the past 24 hours with indi
cations favorable for more rain. These
showers have been general throughout
the Inland Empire and will doubtless be
of great benefit to the Spring wheat,

FINGER NAIL SCRATCH
RESULTS IN DEATH
A short time ago you may have read of
the remarkable case where a. simple scratch
of the finger nail caused death by blood
poisoning. At first it was only an annoylns;
Itch caused by Summer rash. This was
scratched by the finger nail to relieve the
Itch, but the skin was torn open, the Irrita
tion became worse and finally resulted in a
fatal case of blood polsonlnlg.
Do not scratch or rub the Itch or Irritation
caused by Summer rash, mosquito bites,
hives, prickly heat or any form of skin dis
ease or Itch. D. D. D. prescription, the best
known remedy for eczema, and al: forms of
skin disease, externally applied, will at once
stop the Irritable itch. It soothes and cools
the skin and permanently cures the Itch or
disease. Infants and children are saved
many hours of agony and turture from the
unbearable itch if a few drops of D. D- D.
is applied to the afflicted parts. Remember
the Itch is instantly relieved.
