BALLINGER TAKES STAND
(Contlnuad From F!rt Page.)
Secretary Garfield and President Roose
velt after he had replied negatively to
a suggestion of Senator Piles that he
accept the post of Commissioner of the
Land Office. Reading from the Roose
velt telegram, he said:
"It is your duty to help me. Tou
and Garfield will lift an immense bur
den from my shoulders."
It was then, Ballinger said, that he
decided to accept the post, and yertrees
asked the witness whether his relations
with Garfield then were friendly.
"Friendly, but never Intimate. I ,
knew Mr. Garfield in college."
Vertrees asked Ballinger whether
he knew any of the Cunningham Alas
kan coal claimants at the time he be
came Commissioner. He said . he was
not aware that he knew any of them
at that time, but had since discovered
that he knew about six of them, whom
he named.
"Did you have any Interest in Alas
ka lands?" asked Vertrees.
Xot Interested. In Alaska Land.
"I had no Interest in Alaskan or any
other lands whatsoever, either directly
or Indirectly," retorted Ballinger em
phatically. "What professional relations did you
or your law firm have at that time
with Alaska?"
"I don't recall that we represented
any. with Jhe possible exception of
Watson Allen, a lumberman, who had
some interest In Nome in placer gold
diggings."
"That was all "
"Now wait. I want to qualify that
statement. I did represent the Pioneer
Mining Company, which I organized in
1904 or 1905. Its interests were in and
about Nome, and it was composed
largely of Scandinavians."
Ballinger then told of having come
to Washington and of an interview he
had at the White House with President
Roosevelt soon after his arrival. Rais
ing his voice, Ballinger said:
"The President said to me as he
greeted me, 'I have no apologies to
make, Ballinger. I'm glad you are here.
Any man who could clean up Seattle
as you did can clean up that Land
Office "
Mr. Ballinger then described how he
had "cleaned up" the Land Office, relat
ing in detail the many changes he had
made and the Innovations he had adopted.
He first met L. R. Glavis in San Fran
cisco in the Summer of 1907. At that time,
he swore, nothing had been said about
coal lands, but Glavis had Asked him to
secure his transfer to Portland when he
returned to Washington. Explaining why
he had put H. K. Love In charge of the
Alaskan coal cases instead of H. T. Jones,
another special agent. Ballinger said he
lacked confidence in Jones.
Opinion of Jones Confirmed.
"His action before this committee Jus
tifies my opinion of htm," said Ballinger.
Jones testified against Ballinger at the
inquiry.
Attorney Vertrees asked Ballinger
about a conference he had with Glavis
in December, 1907. He referred Bal
linger to Glavis' testimony before the
committee that they had talked about
several specific groups of Alaska coal
claims.
"That's a willful and deliberate lie,"
exclaimed Ballinger. He said they had
discused the situation in general, but
that le knew nothing about any groups.
Vertrees called the witness' attention
to the matter of the "clearllsting" of
the Cunningham entries by his order as
Commissioner In January, 1908. Ballin
ger said Chief of Field Division
Schwartz had gone over the report on
the claims 6f H. K. Love, made on
August 2. 1907. and decided that the
claims were entitled to patent, there
being no protest in the record.
"I want to say right here." said Bal
linger, "that if I were passing over
the same claims today with the same
record before me I would say they
. were entitled to be clearlisted."
"I never had any professional or le
gal business with the men listed as
Cunningham entrymen," he added. The
Secretary denied Glavis" statement that
he had informed him (Ballinger) that
the Love report, on which the Cun
ningham "clearlistlng" was based, was
unreliable, because it was likely lo
have been Influenced by Love's candi
dacy for United States Marshal in Alas
ka. Ballinger said those claims had
been under investigation under Glavis
up to the time of his dismissal last
Summer.
"Did you ever Interfere with Glavis'
investigation into those claims?" asked
Vertrees.
"Not in the slightest degree, at any
time," replied Ballinger. "Glavis was
never hampered. . but was pampered all
the way through."
Questioned as to his differences with
Secretary Garfield in 1907 about coal
lands, Ballinger explained he had fa
vored the sale system as opposed to a
leasing system. He said Garfield dis
approved of his report, but subsequent
ly President Roosevelt called him to
the White House and asked him to ex
plain what his differences with Gar
field were. As a result of that in
terview, he had written a letter to the
President, embodying his views. When
he saw the President subsequently, the
latter said to him:
" 'I have embodied your recommenda
tion in my annual message, but I guess
when Garfield and Plnchot see it they
will go through the roof. But I guess
the roof is strong enough to hold "em "
At the afternoon session, Vertrees
questioned Secretary Ballinger regarding
his appearance before the House com
mittee on public" lands on March 4, 1908,
in advocacy of the Cale bill, providing
for the selling of coal lands. Ballinger
contradicted former Secretary Garfield's
testimony before the committee that he
did not authorize him (Ballinger) to ap
pear before the committee. He said Gar
field had written him assuring him that
he knew Ballinger's position and that
there would be no misunderstanding.
He added that Garfield was In error in
telling the committee that In advocating
the Cale bill before the House commit
tee he (Ballinger) was favoring the ad
mission to patent of other than bona fide
claims.
Information Xot Misused.
"The assiduous attempts of certain
malicious persons to circulate throughout
the country reports that 1 carried away
from the Land Office information which
I could use to the detriment of the
United States Government, have not the
slightest foundation," said Ballinger. "All
information could have been used in per
fect fairness in any way I desired to use
it without the possibility of prejudice to
any Interests of the United States. The
Information was such that anybody might
have had.
"There was nothing pending at the
time I left the Land Office against any
of these interests or a record in contra
vention of rights of the people to have
their patents further than the unique
protest of this man Glavis. which had
come in through his letter of January 22.
It stated no facts that could have war
ranted a public officer to hold up claims
except the suspicion that there might
have been something which . might be
investigated."
"Did you retire voluntarily from the
office of Commissioner of the Land Of
fice?" asked Vertrees.
"Most delightfully voluntarily, " re
plied Ballinger, then reading a letter
from President Roosevelt, in which the
ex-President spoke of his "admirable
work," and of his "altogether too short
service," and his "patriotism," in mak
ing personal sacrifices in order to ac
cept the Commisslonershlp.
"It was a frequent thing for Mr.
Roosevelt to say to his friends regard
ing me, 'I have secured a $25,000 man
for $5000 I was glad to go back and
earn some of that $25,000."
Cunningham Cases Reviewed.
Ballinger then told of his relations
with certain coal claims with which he
was professionally connected after he
left office. He emphatically declared
that in none of these cases was his
connection with them such as to affect
their status In the land office.
Ballinger then related his connection
with, Clarence Cunningham after he
had left the land office. He said he
met Cunningham about September 4,
1908, through C. J. Smith. He said
Cunningham called on him for Informa
tion as to what steps to take, calling
attention to the affidavits he had made.
He said Cunningham called three or
four times, and in the meantime pre
pared an outline of facts In connection
with efforts to acquire coal lands In
Alaska. He said he did not except to
represent Cunningham, but as he was
coming east, both he and Smith asked
him to take the affidavit to Garfield.
. Garfield Names Conditions.
Ballinger said he took It to Garfield,
at his home in Ohio. He said he again
saw Garfield, and also Dennet, In
Washington on September 23, and that
Garfield had said to him that "if these
people would come under the law of
May 28, 1908, they would get their
patents, otherwise they would not."
In the Wilson -Company's cases,
Glavis had testified Ballinger had
drawn up an escrow agreement giving
his client, Watson et al., a right t pur
chase four claims after patents had
been secured. These claims had not
been proved up, and Glavis contended
that perjury would have had to be com
mitted to secure patents for those
lands.
Ballinger denied he had ever pre
pared such an agreement, and charac
terized the story as "another case
where this man Glavis deliberately at
tempted to build up the case to be
smirch my character."
"I bitterly denounce his testimony In
that connection," added the secretary.
Questioned about Glavis" sattement
that me met Ballinger In Seattle In the
Summer of 1908, and that the latter
told jiim that the Cunningham claims
Were in a bad fix, Ballinger Interrupted
his lawyer Impatiently.
"That Is a deliberate lie," he ex
claimed, "and like many other of his
statements to this commute. It Is an
other contemptible attempt of that
man Glavis to besmirch my character."
Law Firm Dissolved.
Passing on to the time when he became
Secretary of the Interior. Ballinger said
he "burned all hia bridges behind him,
dissolved his law Arm and' severed all
connections with corporations."
Mr. Vertrees asked Mr. Ballinger to ex
plain whether, as charged by Glavis. he
had "changed his mind over night" about
asking Attorney-General Wickersham for
an opinion on the proper construction of
the law of May 8, after he had promised
to do so at a conference with Glavis,
Commissioner Dennett and Chief of Field
Division Schwartz. Glavis feared Assist
ant Secretary Pierce, to whom the Secretary-
had referred the matter for an
opinion, might so construe the law as to
validate the Cumningham claims.
Ballinger said he had not promised to
ask the Attorney-General for an opinion,
but did so subsequently. He spoke to Mr.
Wickersham after a Cabinet meeting and
the latter told him that Glavis already
had appealed for an opinion on the
ground it was necessary for his (Ballin
ger's) protection.
The committee then adjourned until tomorrow.
Sunday Expenses Allowed.
OLYMPtA, Wash., April 29. (Spe
cial.) In an official opinion to State
Auditor Clausen, the Attorney-General

welcoming address and responses wer
given by Dr. Wetherbee and K. Mc
Kercher. In the latter part of the trip the busi
ness men discovered that they had with
them a born entertainer in F. O. Bristol,
of the Columbia Life & Trust Co., and
he became the fun-maker of the party,
with his rich fund of stories and an in
imitable way of telling them. Mr.
Bristol aided In the entertainment fur
nished by the excursionists at Forest

Hilleboro was the last stopping place
In the long journey. A band met the
train and headed a parade to the Court
house. - As the excursionists walked to
the building they passed a group of gaily
dressed girls who were on a balcony
and who pelted thorn with lilacs, "snow
balls, " carnations and other blossoms.
An' automobile tour of the nearby coun

George TV. Hoyt was chairman for the
excursionists during the latter part of
the day. business having called Ralph "W".
Hoyt away.
Each member of the party brought
home a load of souvenirs, one of the
most appreciated of which was that
furnished by William McMurray and
John M. Scott, of the Southern Pacific
passenger department. This souvenir
was in the form of a well-bound memo
randum book, on the back of which was
printed the name of the member of the
party to which It was presented. At
the head of each page was printed the
name of a town visited, the points be
ing arranged In chronological order,
with the time of arrival and departure
of the train given. On the last pages
were printed the personnel of the party
and a list of records carried in the
observation for use in the grafonola

Klamath Falls trip the most successful
and most enjoyable ever conducted under
the auspices of the Commercial Club;
and
"Whereas, The pleasure of and success
of the excursion have been due in large
part to the luxurious appointments of the
special train placed at our service; and
"Whereas, The service of the train has

"Resolved. That we extend our sincere
thanks and appreciative commendation
to Messrs. William McMurray, John M.
Scott and W. H. Jenkins and their corps
of able assistants."
Trip Accomplishes Much.
The 75 Portland business men who
returned last night from the Southern
Oregon tour were unanimous in their
expressions of pleasure concerning
their experiences and the good accom
plished for a united Oregon. Follow
ing are statements made by some of
the members of the party:
D. O. Lively, general agent Portland
Union Stockyards "The country tra
versed was a revelation to many of us.
The progress and development of West
tern and Southern Oregon is an earnest
testimonial of the fact that Portland
is not building larger than the sup
porting country will warrant. The peo
ple are alive to the advisability of an
increase in the production of live
stock." Willis Dunnlway, State Printer "I
have seen an empire that is new to me,
although I am a native Oregonian.
Every part of the state visited shows
wonderful progress and development.
It is evident that the campaign of pub
licity and promotion started at the
time of the Lewis and Clark Fair and
carried out since then under the lead
ership of the Portland Commercial
Club is bringing great results. We
shall see a greater growth in the next
10. or 15 years than ever before."
W. E. Coman, general freight agent
Southern Pacific Company The busi
ness men have found the town prosper
ous and the indications' "for develop
ment good. Portland has gained con
fidence in the interior towns, and the
interior towns have gained confidence
in Portland as a result of the excur
sion. The feeling of friendship, has
been augmented and all are bound to
work together for a greater Oregon."
Medford Offers Surprises.
Arthur St. Clair Gay, credit manager
of the George Lawrence Company
"This was my first trip down the Val
ley and the dust has been taken from
my eyes. I enjoyed the trip from start
to finish. The congeniality of the
members of the party was a source of
great pleasure, and there was not a
single unpleasant Incident to mar the
whole journey. The development work
In Oregon is tremendous."
Dom J. Zan, president Zan Brothers
"Medtord surprised me. I did not re
alize there was such a movement in
fruit lands or so much money Invested
there. There are great oportunities
awaiting capital at Klamath Falls.
That country is only in its infancy, and
there will be a wonderful district
there. Ashland, too, Is beautiful, and
has a great future. Eugene has made
great progress In the last few years,
and looks like a real city. Albany has
done a noble work In street Improve
ment. But the greatest surprise of
all was the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallls. Very few Portland
ers realize what a great Institution It
is."
Edward Ehrman, president Mason,
Ehrman & Co. "To me the visit to the
Oregon Agricultural College was the
most Interesting Incident of the trip.
It is a wonderful Institution. Every
other place was a revelation. Every
town shows progress of such an extent
that it is Impossible, almost, to draw
comparisons. We have tried to show
the kindly feeling of Portland toward,
other portions of the state, and I be
lieve It has been appreciated. The
communities of Oregon have been
drawn closer to Portland, and the
purpose of the trip has been accom
plished." Other Trips Now Planned.
John P. Plagemann, manager H.
Liebes & Co. "The great surprise to
me was to see the general prosperity
and the great prospects that are ahead.
The trip has helped us all to realize
what enormous resources Oregon pos
sesses. I am mora than glad that I
made the trip, and will consider It a
duty to see the remainder of the state
when a similar opportunity Is offered."
. Julius Louisson, manager M. A.
Gunst & Co. "It was the most enjoy
able and beneficial trip I ever under
took. It has brought a revelation to
me as to the growth and possibilities
of Southern Oregon and the Wllllmette
Valley. Such trips are of value in get
ting acquainted with customers. My
visit to the educational Institutions at
Eugene and Corvallls has convinced
me that there Is no reason why our
young people should go East to gain
an education."
F. O. Bristol, superintendent of agen
cies, Columbia Life & Trust Co. "I
believe I am the baby booster of this
trip. so far as length of residence In
Portland Is concerned, but, like a baby,
I have been boosting and making as
much noise as any healthy youngster.
As is also the case with youngsters, I
realize what I am boosting for. Al
though coming from New York, and
being imbued with the average New
Yorker's opinion of that city, 1 have
become thoroughly possessed by tne
Oregon spirit. It has been the trip of
my life." f
Crop Prospects Surprise.
W. A, Williams, general agent Contin
ental Insurance Company. The favorable
condition of the crops at this season of
the year impressed me most. I have
been covering this same country for 11
years and never saw better prospects.
"When I say crops I mean everthlng that
is raised in Western and Southern Ore
gon. The development of the country
would perhaps impress a more infrequent
visitor, bin I have been watching it
from year to year and the crop con
ditions therefore impressed me most. It
has been a delightful trip.
Frank D. Gibbs, secretary-treasurer
Tuli & Gibbs. The most wonderful rea
ture of the trip to me was the fact
that we traveled more than 1000 miles
and along the entire route saw only, a
most wonderfully productive country,
with growing and prosperous cities. I
was surprised to learn, too, of the many
resources we have In Oregon. Oregon
is bound to become a populous and mag
nificent state.
J. C. Good, secretary Union Meat Com
pany. Corvallls interested me most. It
was my first visit to the Oregon Agri
cultural College and I am going back
again. It is a shame that more of Port
land's people do not go there and see
that great institution. My visit there left
an impression with me that I shall never
lose. These excursions should be made
semi-annual. They create a better feel
ing, for the people like to meet the men
they do business with. Roseburg de
serves especial commendation for the
delightful reception . and surprises we
were given at that point.
Rapid Growth Impresses.
Robert McPherson, vice-president W.
G. McPherson & Co. The excursion was
an Immense success. Each of us not
only got acquainted with Portland busi
ness men but enlarged his acquaintance
at other points. I wish such excursions
were given oftener.
George W. Hoyt, -cashled Merchants"
National Bank "The great development
that has taken place since the last busi
ness men's excursion covered Western
Oregon, the new acreage placed in culti
vation and the Improvements in roads,
streets and buildings made the strongest
impression on me."
Dr. J. R. Wetherbee "I' have never be
fore been so impressed by the magnifi
cence of the undeveloped resources and
possibilities of Oregon, and am greatly
pleased over the high class of improve
ments that are being made in each of
the towns visited. The people are surely
thinking and have passed the stage of
favoring temporary Improvements. It
was also a deep gartlflcation to visit the
splendid educational institutions of Eu
gene eand Corvallls. There is a great
need for the business and commercial In
terests of Oregon to support them, for
they are the creators of our future good
citizenship. There is also a strong need
for a greater effort toward building up
the agricultural territory adjacent to the
cities.
First Vacation for Ti. Samuel.
I. Samuel, general manager Oregon
Life Isurance Company "It was actually
my first vacation in all my life, and I
enjoyed it immensely. I believe the ex
cursloin has unified the business inter
ests of the whole state and I know It
has promoted a better acquaintanceship
among the men who were on the train.
I have lived in Portland 29 years, and it
was when the train was in Ashland that
I met for the first time Mr. Rasmussen,
a member of our party, who has been a
citizen of Portland for 27 years."
Ralph W. Hoyt, president Portland Rose
Festival Association It was the most sat
isfactory of the several excursions given
under the auspices of the Portland Com
mercial Club. I discovered a keen inter
est in the Rose Festival. Every town that
we visited will be represented, I am as
sured, and a great attendance Is prom
ised from our own state.
Sam Connell, president American Bank
& Trust Company The towns of the Wil
lamette Valley and Southern Oregon have
made good the promise- given four years
ago at the time of the preceding business
men's excursion. . The things talked of
then have been realized and most of the
cities have exceeded even what they
hoped for at that time.
Good Feeling Found Everywhere.
Dr. Andrew C. Smith I was most
strongly Impressed by the good feel
ing throughout the state. Conditions
are very different from those we en
countered on the trip four years ago.
All evidence of pessimism and jealousy
are gone. Oregon now needs little en
couragement in the work-together
movement, for It exists. The only
thing that I could see that Is now
needed Is more interest In good roads.
It is the only thing in which. Oregon
is backward.
Henry Wemme, aviator and good
roads advocate I was born and
reared In Europe and for 15 years trav
eled constantly over the world. I
therefore think that I can see things
in this country which the native can
not. The "Willamette Valley and West
ern Oregon compr'se the paradise of
the earth. Nature has done so much
for this country that the native-born
person does not appreciate the coun
try to the extent that it deserves.
Things have really come too easy for
Western Oregon. On this trip I have
seen beautiful farms, beautiful homes,
beautiful scenery and beautiful women.

but did not see a single piece of good
road. The main reason why the cost
of living is so high today is the fact
that produce raised any distance away
from a railroad cannot be marketed to
good advantage for want of roads. If
the people are too poor to build good
roads why not borrow money, which
can be had in the East at a low rate
of interest for long terms? Get the
money in the community and it remains
there, and good roads' are also ob
talned. Two birds are thus killed with

F. McKercher, secretary Equitable

sion has resulted in a great mutual bene
fit for the members of the party as well
as between them and the citizens of other

unison. The ontside people, too, have
learned that our interest in them is
wholesouled. Much of the credit for the
success of the trip belongs to the rail

the general passenger agent. There was
less levity and more earnest effort shown
on this trip than on any other.

Hood's Sarsaparilla
Cures All Spring Ailments.
Mrs. Marlon Bruce, Cumberland, M.,

This last Winter and Spring I was In

longer have that tired feeling."
Hood's Sarsaparilla restores the ap

Doesn't It? Then read this:
"Thr corn on either of my toes were
as large tin tne tablets you make to
cure them. Today- there Is no sign of
corns on either foot and no soreness.

Just use TIZ. Ifs not like anything
else for the purpose you ever heard of.
It's the only foot remedy ever made
which acts on the principle of drawing
out all the poisonous exudations which
cause sore feet. Powders and other
remedies merely clog up the pores. TIZ
cleans them out and keeps them clean.
It works right off. You will feel better
the very first time it's used. Use it a
week and you can forget you ever had
sore feet. There is nothing on earth
that can compare with it. TIZ is for
sale at all druggists, 25 cents per box,
or direct, if you wish, from Walter
Luther Dodge & Co., Dodge Building,
Chicago, 111. Recommended and sold by
The Owl Drug Store
7th and Washington, Portland, Oregon.
