FUNDS FOR COOS
DREDGE
Major Mclndoe in Receipt of
Money Subscribed by
Coast Merchants.
BOAT READY THIS MONTH
Channel Between Empire and
Marshfleld Will Be Put in First
Class Condition During Fall
and Winter Montbs.
Merchants of Coo Bay have subscribed
a sufficient amount of money to pay for
the operation of the new Government
dredge and the funds have been de
posited to the credit of Major Mclndoe.
This will insure the operation of the deep
sea dredge at Coos Bay during the Fall
and Winter months. The dredge will De
ready for service by the end of August.
Arrangements have been made for the
towing of the craft and the Government
will be put to no expense after the craft
has been finished.
The sea dredge was authorized by the
Government about a year ago and con
struction began with the opening of the
year li"08. "it was then discovered that
the appropriation did not cover the cost
of operating. The promotion clubs of
North Bend and Marshfleld took the mat
ter up and with the aid of the merchants
raised a sufficient sum to guarantee the
operation of the dredge. The placing of
this sum In the hands of Major Mclndoe
will Insure a deeper channel between the
Coos Bay bar and Marshfleld.
Coos Bay Is badly In need of dredging
at the present time. There Is plenty of
water on the bar but the channel between
Kmptre City and Marshfleld is crooked
and not as deep as masters desire. A
small amount of dredging would put the
bay in good shape. The citizens were
alive to this'fact and there was little
trouble In raising the money for operat
ing expenses.

WHISTLES CACSE COMPLAINTS
Steamboat Masters Must Obey Lav!
Relative to Steam Whistles.
A number of complaints relative to the
unnecessary whistling by steam vessels
In the harbor have been made to United
States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller.
The complaints state that masters and
pilots of steam vessels disturb and an
noy people by unnecessary blowing of
steam whistles. Captain Edwards de
sires to call attention to section xll of
rule 10. rules and regulations prescribed
by the board of supervising Inspectors of
steam vessels:

WIDELY DIVERGING VIEWS ON THE
EFFECT OF ELECTION ON OREGON
Dr. H. W. Coe and F. McKercher, in Chamber of Commerce Bulletin, Tell
Respectively What Will Follow Election of Taft or Bryan.
IN THE Chamber of Commerce Bulletin
for August which has Just been is
sued are articles by Dr. Henry Waldo
Coe and F. McKercher, in which they
express their views as to the effect on
Oregon of the election of the Republican
or Democratic Presidential candidates.
Under the title "Why Oregon Xeeds
Taft." Dr. Coe refers to the advantage to
Oregon of the construction of the Pana
ma CanaL As the able manner in which
the work on the Isthmus Dr. Coe believes
to be largely due to the efforts of Mr.
Taft, tho writer deems it Inadvisable to
have' the gigantic undertaking supervised
by a man who has had no experience in
the management of such an enterprise.
Dr. Coe predicts that work on the Canal
will b sufficiently advanced to permit
the passage of ships before the close of
Mr. Taft's term of office, and points out
the advantage to Portland and Oregon In
the early completion of the Canal, which
under Mr. Bryan's administration will not
be the case.
The gain of five years In the completion
of the Canal under Mr. Taft Is expected
to benefit Oregon wheat in the increase
in price in wheat and the more favorable
transportation facilities.
Putting to one side the fact that Re
publican success means good times,' con
tinues the writer, "active business; work
for all and good wages over the entire
country, and that good times elsewhere
Insures prosperity for Oregon, and for
getting for the time our unfortunate ex
periences under Democratic management

reason, and the candidates were quite
equal, the Panama reason should be
enough to Induce the open-minded Orego-

CONFER
PLAN
FOR GOOD ROADS
Oregon Development League
Hopes to Put Work on
Practical Basis.
WEBSTER TO TAKE CHARGE
Those Interested in Adoption of
State System Will Meet Tues
day at Portland Com
mercial Club.
On invitation of the Oregon Devel
opment League, advocates of good
roads from all parts of the state will
meet for a conference In the rooms of
the Portland Commercial Club next
Tuesday. The purpose of this meeting1
Is to'. devise some practical scheme for
conducting the Important subject of
road construction under a systematic
organization. -It Is quite probable that
some sort of an organization will be
effected at this meeting for facilitat
ing this character of public improve
ment in all of the counties.
It is understood to be the plan of
this gathering to make County Judge
L. R. Webster, of this city, - some
definite offer as an Inducement for
him to devote a part of his time in
supervising an aggressive good roads
campaign in this state. It is proposed
to negotiate the services of Judge
Webster on an arrangement by which
he can devote a part of his time to
this Important work and at the same
time enable him to attend to his legal
practice. If a satisfactory agreement
Is reached, it will Involve the resigna
tion of Judge Webster as County
Judge of Multnomah County.
May Favor New Laws.
Aside from devising a plan by which
systematic road construction work can
oe carried on In the different counties,
ft will also be the purpose of the or
ganization to be formed to give its
attention to matters of legislation by
which road building will be encour
aged and supported by substantial ap
propriations from the state. Prom
inent among the men who will attend
the conference will be Judge Webster
and John H. Scott, ex-County Judge of
Marion County, the two original good
roads builders of the state. They
were the first County Judges In this
state to demonstrate the value of
roads scientifically constructed, and
their example has been copied very
generally b the other counties of the
state. It Is now proposed to place this
work on an organized basis and prose
cute It under an intelligent direction.
Judge Webster has made a thorough
study of the good roads problem, and
that he knows something about the
subject Is apparent from the substan
tial character of roads he has built in
this county. Judge Webster thinks the
time has passed when the expense of
building roads should be assessed ex
clusively against the lands bordering
on the Improvement and directly bene
fited thereby. Instead, he is Inclined
to favor some scheme by which the
state will appropriate annually a fixed
amr.unt. possibly $10,000, to each
county, conditional on the county ap
propriating an equal amount, the en
tire sum to be expended in the con
struction of roads.
Veteran in Road Work.
Among those who will attend, the con
ference next week Is R., M. Brereton, a
veteran civil engineer, residing at Wood
stock. He has had wide experience both
In road and railroad construction. He was
In India from 1856 o 1870 as chief engineer
of 1800 miles of railroad connecting Cal
cutta with Bombay and Madras. Before
coming to Oregon 18 years ago, Mr. Brere
ton was employed in irrigation work In
the San Joaquin Valley.
Mr. Brereton had his experience In road
building, however, in Norfolk County, the
largest agricultural county In England.
He was consulting engineer and county
surveyor for 6000 miles of county roads
and 2u0 bridges in that county his work
covering a period of six years. Later he
was chairman of public highways In the
Highlands of Scotland.
Discussing the cost of maintaining roads
In England, Mr. Brereton yesterday said
the expense was J100 a mile for the 5000
miles of which he had supervision. This
expense Included labor, materials and
cartage, or a total of $60,000 a year. This
expense was met by a tax levy on all
agricultural property ranging from 4 to
10 cents on a dollar. Under the former
system by which roads were maintained
by the turnpike trusts created by act of
Parliament, the expense of keeping up 360
miles of road was collected In tolls from
the public and amounted to $75,000 a year
or over $200 a mile.
"Would Levy Direct Tax.
It was the experience of Mr. Brereton
that 50 cubic yards of granite were re
quired annually for the maintenance of
nian everywhere to support Secretary
Taft."
In his article "The Effect on Oregon,
If Bryan Is Elected President," Mr. Mc
Kercher give's as his opinion that the
election of Mr. Bryan would produce the
effect on Oregon that housecleaning is
popularly supposed to have on the head of
the household "a long, deep peaceful
breath now that the necessary period of
disturbance has passed giving assurance
that, for a season, he can find himself
and a few other things necessary for his
comfort." Further says Mr. McKercher:
"Bryan Is not only wiser, but he Is
better known by and stronger with the
people than at any former period in his
political career, and so the Inducements
to disturb the equanimity of the public
mind and the chances favorable to the
success of such .a course are much less
than at any Presidential election period
for many years.
"And again, I em persuaded, and be
lieve the masses to be of the same opin
ion, that a change of administration is a
thing not only not to be dreaded, but
rather a wholesome governmental ex
pedient if not from the standpoint of .the
superior merit of that to which the old
gives place, then from the viewpoint that
It affords the misplaced one not only
time, but a powerful incentive to get
good.
"If, therefore, you insist upon my as
suming the role of prophet, I will say
that the probabilities are so Imminent
'that Bryan will' be elected the hard
headed man of business end finance will
be carefully weighing the subject between
now and November and by that time will
have so adjusted his affairs and so toned
his liver that whatever the result there
will be no visible or appreciable effect."

alone necessarily would be double while
the cost of labor would be greater.
"All public roads and public bridges
should be considered a National neces
sity," said Mr. Brereton yesterday, and
should be paid for by a direct tax In
levying this tax the city and suburban dis
tricts should be treated alike and all such
improvements. should be paid for by the
public which uses them and gets the bene-

Mr. Brereton has been engaged in mining
and Irrigation enterprises He con
sidered the pioneer in irrigation legisla
tion. In 1873 he was sent by the people of
California to Washington, D. C where he
"listed the influence of President Grant
in behalf of the first irrigation legisla

the National Reclamation Service has re

OREGON COLONELS TO LEAD

into the enemy's country with well
founded confidence. One of the w
formidable parts of the rou"
up the rear in the form of two mule
batteries. These were able to travel
through heavy timber and nto post
tlons of vantage not attainable by
regular field artillery. The guns of
tnfs picturesque artillery force when
ordered into action, were ""strafP
from the backs of mules and set up
ready for firing In just 60 seconds.
The brigade worked out its prob
lem with, general satisfaction, no criti
cal mistakes being made In Riving or
executing orders. Another thing that
spoke well for the service was the
earnest enthusiasm of the officers and
their apparent competence.
Honors for Yoran and McDonell.
National Guard regiments did not
participate with the regulars, as the
practice period is not yet completed
for the guard regiments, which arrived
in camp several days behind the United
States troops. - The Oregon men spent
the forenoon in regimental close and
extended order drills, and during the
afternoon took up regimental out
posts and reconnolssance.
As recognition of the efficiency shown
by the Third Oregon Infantry and Its
commander, an order was issued this aft
ernoon assigning Colonel Charles E. Mc
Donell to command of the brown army
in the big joint campaign next Monday.
Monday night and Tuesday. This ass gn
ment gives Colonel McDonell a Brigadier-General's
command. Further recog
nition was shown in a second order plac
ing the two Oregon Colonels in command
of brigades for the brigade practice man
euvers occurring tomorrow. Colonel Mc
Donell will command the Firft brigade,
which includes- the Second Washington
Infantry, and Colonel George O. Yoran
will have command of the Second brigade.
To Direct Regular Troops.
This gives the two officers large forces
of United States troops to direct. In the
First brigade will be the Sixth United
States Infantry, the Second Washington
Infantry and the Third Oregon. Assigned
to Colonel Toran's brigade are the Frist
United States Infantry, the Third United
States Infantry, the Fourth Oregon and
a battalion of the Second United States
Infantry. The brigades will maneuver
independently, working out problems and
drilling in battle formation. Preceding
the brigade work will be exercises in
forming companies for attack and de
fense, together with practice in pitching
shelter tents.
Acting as advance guards of theoretical
brigades In hostile territory, the Third
and Fourth Oregon Regiments established
outposts three miles south and east of
American Lake this afternoon. Lines of
observation and resistance were thrown
out quickly and without error. Sergeants
and Corporals again did splendid work
commanding patrols, pickets and Cossack
posts.
Pregon Troops Trap Enemy.
Interest was added to the exercises by
the Inadvertent approach on the Third
Oregon position by the Second Washing
ton. It bo happened the Washington men
were having extended order drill and
they charged on the Oregon position.
Their appearance was sudden, unexpected
and unplanned, and the outposts had to
follow a course of action hurriedly pre
scribed to meet the situation. Patrols
drew back to the Oregon supports, sta
tioned well back In the timber, the re
serve battalion was drawn up and the
enemy walked Into a trap. This incident
developed the fact that the regiment has
resource as well as understanding of the
regulations.
Camp leave continues to be hard to se
cure, but there Is no complaint. The Ore
gon men are repeatedly complimented by
officers of the general staff on the fact
that they seem to be here for business.
Call to quarters finds the camp asleep
except for guard detail, and there are no
unseemly noises by night, such as dis
tinguish the quarters of other troops
in the vicinity.
Oregon Troops Complimented.
Still another mark to the credit of the
Third Oregon is the excellent manner in
which all reports and stores are handled.
Captain A. J. Johnstone Is admittedly
the most efficient Regimental Adjutant in
camp and the Quartermaster's Depart
ment has never in the past been handled
so satisfactorily as under Captain Henry
Hockenyos. With the addition of an ex
perienced hustler In Captain Winn, of
Albany, the Commissary Department is
well taken care of. while Chaplain Gilbert
Is not so busy looking after the morals of
the camp but that he has time to super
vise operations at the various mess tents.
Cases of sickness fail to develop and none
as yet has patronized the guard tents of
either Oregon regiment.
Plans are complete for an elaborate en
tertainment in honor of Governor Cham
berlain and staff, who will be In camp to
morrow night.
Would Drop Sufrix "City."
BAKER CITY. Or., Aug. 6. (Special.)
There is a move on foot here to drop the
word "city" from Baker City, leaving the
name tne word, "Baker." Business men
generally approve-of the Idea, but there is
occasionally one who objects on the
grounds of tradition. Those favoring the
new name say that all good towns In the
country have dropped the word city.

FINE ENTRIES FOR
LIVESTOCK S
M. D. Wisdom Returns From
Canvass Through Oregon
and Washington.
OUTLOOK MOST PROMISING
Thoroughbred Racers Entered in
Meets All Over North Pacific Cir
cuit Blooded Stock for
Portland Exhibit.
M. D. Wisdom has returned from the
most complete canvass of the livestock
and harness racing situation that has
ever been made by any sportsman, live
stock expert or racehorse lover in the
Pacific Northwest.
The itinerary which Mr. Wisdom
covered embraced all of the eight har
ness horse meets which are Included
In the North Pacific circuit to be held
this Fall. They include Belllngham,
Everett, Seattle. Wash.; Salem, Port
land, North Yakima, Spokane and Walla
Walla, Wash., and Mr. Wisdom de
clares that the race meets to be held
during the coming eight or ten weeks
will be away ahead of any that have
been run off in the past.
The mere fact Aat all the leading
cities in the Pacific Northwest have
been included in the circuit of 1908 Is
guarantee enough that the events will
rank , high with those held anywhere
In the East or Middle West, and win,
by all odds, excel anything ever given
on the Pacific Slope.
"I don't know when I have taken a
trip that has afforded me more real
pleasure than the one which I have just
completed," said Mr. Wisdom last night.
"We have heard a great deal about the
livestock and racehorse people of the
Rocky Mountain country coming In,
and we have heard that there would
be a considerable representation of en
tries from the East, to say nothing of
the livestock interests of our own ter
ritory. Oregon Will Lead.
"Oregon will sooner or later surpass
all other states In the United States In
the matter of developing the livestock
Industry, and one of the most impor
tant factors contributory to this is the
first annual Pacific National Livesock
Show, which will be held here in Port
land during the week of September 21
26. "Wherever I went I heard inquiries
about what we were going to do In
Portland. In such places as Seattle.
Everett and Belllngham, I was shown
the large and comprehensive premium
lists which are being offered, and I was
asked If Portland would or could equal
such a complete array of prizes.
"After visiting the different cities of
Washington which will take part in the
North Pacific harness race circuit, and
in the Northwestern livestock circuit,
I have no hesitancy In saying that the
races and livestock exhibition which Is
to be held here in Portland the week
of September 21-26 will be far superior
to any that will be run off at any of
the eight harness race cities or at any
of the six livestock fairs scheduled for
the Northwest.
"While there Is widespread Interest
taken In all regions of Oregon and
Washington In both these features,
which will contribute so much to the
advancement of gentlemen's sports and
the livestock-raising industry. It ap
pears to me, from what I have been
able to observe during my month's trip,
that there will be an awakening in and
around Portland such has never before
been experienced.
"I covered all of Western Washing
ton, and then made a complete canvass
through Western Oregon, following the
Willamette Valley from Portland
south, and I traveled as far south as
Ashland."
Fancy Dairy Cattle to Be Shown.
Among the people who will contrib
ute largely to the success of the live
stock show will be D.- H. Looney, of
Linn County, who has Informed me
that he will have one of the largest
strings of dairy cattle that will be
shown In fancy classes. Looney's en
tries include three herds" of Jerseys
and three herds of Guernseys, all of
them prize-winners in former exhibits.
Frank E. Alley, of Roseburg, will
send to Portland two full carloads of
standard-bred horses, and the leader
of this large aggregation wilL be So
noma Boy, a full brother of Sonoma
Girl, one of the best racers of the
grand circuit in the East, with a record
of 2:05 1-4.. He is a remarkably hand
some horse, and his record of 2:20 Is
no measure at all of his speed, for he
has negotiated many miles in much
better time in exhibition heats. Mr.
Alley's string of show horses Is re
garded as one of the most acceptable

tional. Entries From Corvallls.
L.. B. Geer & Son, of Corvallls, have
entered 20 head of fancy Shorthorns
and Herefords, and with an unbroken
string of victories already to their
credit, this aggregation is likely to
figure prominently in the local meet
this year.
These entries are only a small por
tion of those which have already been
offered, and they do not cover 25 per
cent of the territory which the first
meet here will draw from. Not only
are the Pacific Slope States to be in
cluded In the events, but the trans
and Inter-Rocky Mountain States are
to contribute the finest of their stock
in the meet here.

COTTAGE GROVE GROWING
Seven Business Blocks and SO
Dwellings Being Built.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or.. Aug. 8. (Spe
cial.) Notwithstanding that July and
August are the quietest" trade months in
the year for this section, the general con
ditions here are most encouraging, and
merchants report splendid trade.
At no time in the history of this city
has building and general improvements
been so energetically pursued. Seven
large business bricks have been and are
now being completed, on Main street, as
well as some thirty residences.
Another important addition to the com
mercial interests of this section Is the
completion of the Cottage Grove Fruit
Company's dryer, which will take care of
the prune crop for 1908. This Is entirely a
local company, the stock having been
subscribed by business men of this city
and farmers and growers adjacent.
The hay crop for this section Is one of
the heaviest grown In recent years, and
the prevailing prices are received with
much satisfaction by the growers. Buyers
from outside points have been here and
several large shipments will soon be
made.
The two brickyards located here are run
ning to their capacity on contracts for
Cottage Grove buildings alone.
The lumber business for the present
seems to be at a standstill, owing to the
stagnant condition of the market gen
erally. Some mills are shut down en
tirely, while others are running on short
time, with docks well stocked with all
kinds of lumber.
