Denver Congress Refuses to
Hear Patterson Finish
His Tirade.
NO ACTION ON RESOLUTION
Trans-Mlssissippians Weary of For
est Reserve Dispute-Next Ses
sion at El Paso Rate Ad
vances Are Opposed.
DENVER. Aug. 19. Despite the efforts
of the leaders In the Trans-Mlsslssippl
Commercial Congress to prevent the In
troduction of the Pinchot-Balllnger con
troversy. ex-United States Senator
Thomas M. Patterson, of Colorado, pre
pared an attack on Gtfford Plnchot this
mornlnsr. which was 'curtailed in part by
the action of the congress in declining
to give additional time to Mr. Patterson,
who wished to present a resolution in
fuller form than allowed by the rules.
Mr. Patterson's resolution cited that a
board of Inquiry composed of Mr. Plnchot
and four other scientists some time ago
reported that the boundaries of the for
est reserves are not definite and In many
places Include gracing end agricultural
land. He declared therefore that addi
tional laws are not necessary, but that
the President now has the authority to
declare these boundaries in a more defi
nite way, thereby dividing the forests
from the arable land and saving to the
people many thousand acres of land now
held in reserve as forest land.
Throw Land Open to People.
Mr. Patterson declared that, inasmuch
as Mr. Plnchot has himself concurred in
a report which says that the boundaries
are untrue, it will be no illegal act for
the President to give back to the people
the land to which they are entitled. This,
he said, Is the contention of the people
of Colorado, who believe that they are
being deprived of land to which they are
entitled under the homestead act.
Mr. Patterson asked that he be given
20 minutes in which to present his resolu
tion, but the delegates declined to take
this view and his remarks were curtailed
to five minutes and no action was taken.
No answer was made to the argument of
the ex-f enator.
More Plnchot resolutions were offered
when A- M. Mammons, of Colorado, asked
that laws be requested opening for entry
such lands as are not timber, yet held
aa reserves: also that private capital be
given the first opportunity to take op
water power instead or me government.
Income Tax Commended.
Resolutions were offered commending
the Income tax amendment, condemning
the trusts" and asking an annual ap
propriation for rivers and harbors. The
' committee on resolution favored the ad
mission of Arizona and New Mexico as
states and the establishment of a Nation
al Department of Mines.
Walter Cresham. who designed the Gal
veston seawall, was the principal speaker
of the morning. He described the harbor
works and the plans for. further im
provement. Resolutions were adopted urging the
National Congress to regulate coastwise
traffic.
The friends of beet sugar secured the
adoption of a resolution opposing further
concessions to sugar coming from present
and future possessions of the United
States.
Against Higher Railroad Rates.
The Southwest came to the front with
several resolutions, which were not acted
upon, asking that interstate railway rates
shall not be raised except with the sanc
tion of the Interstate Commerce Commis
. slon; that the projected canal between
' tha Mississippi and the Rio Grande Rivers
' be given aid; and for a 20-foot harbor
for Galveston.
John D. MlllDten. of Denver, spoke of
the needs of the Northwest.
San Antonio.- Tex., was selected for
next year's place of meeting and Colonel
Ike T. Pryor. of San Antonio, was chosen
by the executive committee as the only
candidate for president.
TIETON LANDS NOT OPENED
Yakima Land Ofllce Corrects Er
roneous Report.
NORTH YAKIMA. "Wash, Aug. 19.
(Special.) Tha Government land under
the Tieton project in this valley, with
drawn from entry some four or five
years" ago. will not be reported -to entry
in the coming Fall and Winter.-as has
been widely reported In the Northwest. .
This is the statement given" out by
. the local ..land office . today. The er
roneous report that this land is to be
! restored had its origin in an order ls
. sued by the general land office restoring
to entry a few tracts of f land ; in- the
! Tieton district. This land Is all on the
border of the Tieton project proper and
none of It will come undex the ditch.
' Now that the project Is nearlng comple-
tlon the Government finds these tracts
' of land will not come under the ditch
and therefore there is no' necessity for
holding .it from entry. . These, scattered
tracts are, therefore, restored to entry.
The former report, which indicated that
all of the Tieton Government land. ap-.
1 proxl mating X acre was to be re-
stored, caused much excitement In the
' valley and people, were preparing for a
great rush.
FREIGHT JUMPS TRACK

Freight train No. 235. consisting of 23
cars, in charge of Conductor Wlllet and
Engineer Clark, was partially wrecked
near the university grounds east of Eu
gene, at 8:30 this afternoon.

on tha flea for a length of 36 rails, when
It loft the track altogether, the car and
rear trucks going to one side of the track
and the front trucks to the other. No
further damage was done.
Trains No. 12 and 18. the Shasta Limited
and tha Cottage Grove local, were delayed
by the wreck, but the track was repaired
sufficiently to allow them to pass by 7:30
lowgnt.
PRISON CONGRESS ENDS
Governor Hay Is Host at Informal
Dinner to Delegates.
arjTTTT A hit. la The annual
. . . t v. . A.Tnfr thA rieleeates
enucu wuiBiib t. v v . -
were entertained at an Informal dinner
by Governor Hay, who came over from
Olympla to act as host.
After the 'dinner the delegates met m
a final session. The report of the commit
tee on the aare of released prisoners, of
which Decatur M. Sawyer, of New Jersey,
is chairman, was read and discussed. Th
renort said:
"On every side we see efforts being
made to keep people out of prison by
modifying the laws and providing for
release on parole, suspended sentences,
etc., but it seems to me the weak spot
today everywhere is either the utter ab
sence of care by the state of Its dis
charged prisoners or the half-hearted
and "inadequate care which is given gen
erally to men put out on parole. Great
states spend endless effort to reform men
while they are within the prison walls
and then let them come out with all
the temptation of life around them and
none but the most perfunctory care at
the time when they most need encour
agement, reproof, warning and support.
It must be individual treatment; the pa
roled man must feel that he is something
more than a number, and there is no
wholesale way in which it can be done."
BOBBINS BREAKS Jl
MURDERER 6USPECT CAUGHT
AFTER TWO HOURS.
Makes o Fight When Officers
Stumble Upon Him In Bashes.
Second Prisoner Still at Large,
THBJ DALLES, Or., Aug. 19. (Special.)

lata hour tonight Wilson was still -at

Robbins was captured by Officers John
Crate and J. W. Puree 11. He was hiding
in tha willows by the O. R. & N. shops.
The officers almost fell over him In the
darkness. He surrendered without re
sistance and seemed to be badly fright
ened, remarking: "Here I am. I
sprained my ankle and I'm all in."
Robbins secured a gun from the Sher
iff's office. After getting out of the Jail
he met Ray Woolsey and told the boy If
he would promise not to tell on him ha
would give him the gun. The boy "said
"Give me the gun." but did not mako
any promises. He notified tha officers
and they immediately trailed Robbins to
hla hiding place In the willows.
ROAD NEARS PRAIRIE CITY
Grant County Town Expects to See
Iron Horse January Next.
PRAIRIE CITY. Or., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) To Prairie City by January 1. 1910,
is the cry of the Sumpter Valley Railroad
officials, and every effort is being made
to bring the railroad to thla place by tha
first of the year. Four miles of the track
have been laid within the last week.
The right of way Is now cleared to a
point within eight miles of Prairie City
and the big cut at the top of the moun
tain Is well under way. The company
has a large force of men at work and is
making rapid progress.
The people of Susanville have been as
sured that the Sumpter Valley Railroad
will build to that place next Summer.
Several important transfers and business
enterprises have been made upon the basis
of the extension of the railroad to Susan
ville. The Ophir and the Dixie Meadows
mines have been purchased by Eastern
and Spokane capitalists with an under
standing that the railroad extension will
be built, and, according to rumors, large
bodies of timber along the Middle Fork
have recently been taken over by the
railroad company as a preliminary move
to the extension of the line down the
Middle Fork.
FIRE THREATENS TIMBER
Flames In Clark County Are Doing
Much Damage.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) A disastrous forest fire is raging
in Slouxon Basin, in the region north
east of Turn Turn Mountain. Already ten
square miles of timber have been burned
over and the fire at last accounts was
beyond control. The timber companies
and others interested have a large force
of men fighting the fire.
People on Chelatchie Prairie fear that
an east wind would carry the fire to
that section. If a northwest wind should
arise, the Weyerhaeuser interests will
lose heavily . In their holdings south and
west of Turn Turn Mountain.
In ISM, the Slnaxon Basin was burned
over, millions of dollars' - damage being
done. There' are several smaller fires
north-and east of the city, but these are
from slashings and small fires which are
uridnr control.' The sky is overcast with
smoke.
TRACT MAY GO ON MARKET
r i, .--'
Eastern Oregon Land 'Company
Plans Opening, It Is Believed.
PRAIRIT ." CI Til, " Or., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) According to rumors in Grant
County, --the Eastern Oregon Land Com
pany is . planning the opening for public
sale and settlement of the lands In the
neighborhood of Prairie City- Walter S.
Martin, of San Francisco, president of
the company, end T. G. Clagett. of .Vale,
the local agent, are riding over the coun
try in an automobile in company with
Grant Geddes, superintendent" of the
Sumpter Valley Railroad.
This land is in the original Dalles mili
tary road grant and extends in a belt
along the northern border of the John
Day Valley. The extension of the Sump
ter Valley Railroad to this place will
make the Eastern Oregon Company's land
an attraction to settlers.
Taylor-Sands Company Loses.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 19. Holding that
an accretion does not attach to the lands
and that said accretions remain in the
title of tha state and are subject to
lease, under the provisions of the act of
the Legislature of 1907, Judge William
Galloway, of tha Circuit Court for Marlon
County. this morning sustained the
demurrer of the State Land Board to the
complaint of the Taylor-Sands Fishing
Company, of Portland, and dissolved the
temporary order of the court enjoining
the board from -leasing approximately 76
acres of tldelands abutting upon the hold
ings of the Taylor-Sands Fishing Com
pany in ' the Columbia River, which
are valuable seining x grounds. An
appeal from this decision will probably
be taken to the Supreme Court.
