INDORSEMENT CAME, LATER Call for I'nlled Aetlon Issued When "orthest Ignored by Conserva tion Congress Hill and Elli ott Approved Movement. OLTMPIA. Wash., SpL l-(SpeclaI.) The statement made In a Salt Luke dis patch' that ihe conference of Western Governors on conservation was prompted by Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad, and Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Rail road, was denounced as false by Gover nor Hay on the eve of his departure for the Conservation Congress at 8t. Paul. The dispatch was dated three days sfter Mr. Hay left Salt Lake. "Tea. I saw the dispatch and have never known of a more bare-faced piece of work than this faked Interview." said the governor. "It Is absolutely without foundation in fact. The Salt Lake con ference was called because Thomas Shlpp. secretary of the Conservation Congress, formerly secretary to Glfford Plnchot. declined to accede to my re quests of July 13 and again of the 22d that an hour's time out of the fire days" session be allowed some man whom I should designate to speak on conserva tion from the point of view of the West. I have a very positive opinion that the Western states are getting the worst of the deal if the natural resources are to be administered for the benefit of the Federal treasury, and by a bureau lo cated several thousand miles away. I feel that the Western people have a right to have their views presented to the people of the Nation and then let the Nation Judge of the reasonableness of our position. YYhj Hay Called Conference. Owing to the stand taken by the pres ident and secretary of the National Con servatlon Congress In refusing my re quest. I felt It advisable to call a con ferenoe of the Governors of the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain states, where 9jt per cent of the natural resources are located, to place my correspondence before them, to get their views and to take some united action relative to the coming congress. I did not feel like re questing 16 of our prominent men to CO o St. Paul and sit around like pieces of baas wood or to become the tall of some man's ktte. "The letter I sent to the Governors calling this conference was addressed to them and mailed from my office July 30. Early In August my correspondence with the Conservation Congress officials appeared In the St. Paul papers and on August 8. Mr. Hill, of the Great North ern, wrote me a letter which was re ceived at my office on August 11, criticis ing the Conservation Congress officials for the' stand they had taken In at tempting to shut out the West, and as- uring me that the St. Paul business men had no hand In the matter and depre cating what had been done. A letter of he same tenor waa received from Gov ernor Eberhart, of Minnesota, also from Mr. Feek. secretary of the - Paul Busl- Besa-2dan'a .Association, and from several other prominent business men of Ihe state. On August 11 I received the fol lowing wire from Mr. Hill: Hill Gave Aid Later. "Our Governor and business men hsd meeting today with reference to your proposed conference. They will do every thing In their power to harmonise matter and give Western states representation you and I know .they are entitled to. 1 hope you Western states will stand for proper representation and you will get It. Everybody here Is working along lines you are working on." "Dp to August 11 I had never received a letter or telegram directly or Indirectly from Mr. Hill on this or any other sub ject. Mr. Elliott, of the Northern Pa cific, never addressed me In any way. shape or form on the subject until long after the confernec at Salt Lake had been called. I do not know how either of these gentlemen stands on the con servation question, if for or against It or for state or National control. So far as I know, their only Interest In the matter was to see that the Western states had an opportunity to be heard and one hour out of the five-days' ses sion was not asking very much." Mr. Hay expect Governor Norrls, of Montana, and Governor Brady, of Idaho. to Join him at Helena, Mont. Because there Is no one to whom he can delegate the duties of Governor. Acting Governor Bowerman. of Oregon, will not be in at tendance. He has, however, aopointed a strong delegation to represent his state at the congress.

Sixty-three true bills were returned iy the grand Jury and while It Is still oo early to announce the men who are Indicted, It Is freely rumored that the greater bulk of the Indictments are bootlegging" cases. Tom Morgan, the detective, who was instrumental In se curing 40-odd Indictments at the last sitting of the grand Jury, Is said to be behind the present lot. The grand Jury also exonerated Tom Morgan on a charge of Jury-packtng. Morgan waived examination at the time that W. A. Worstell and Rev. Frank E. Gray were tried In the Justice Court. As no Indictments of any sort were returned against Mr. Worstell and Mr. Gray. It follows that the charges were not deemed sufficient to warrant an Indictment and they, too, are tree of all charges. Parker, the Elgin man who killed his father-in-law during a quarrel on the county road, was also Indicted for murder in the first degree, and Sheriff Chllders went to Elgin this morning to make service of papers.

Dr. James Withycombe, director of the State Agricultural College Experiment Station, was here this week for the pur pose of making a personal inspection of the Umatilla experiment farm, located at the edge of this city. Dr. WRhyconrbe. In discussing the farm and project In gen era, said: "The work on the experimental farm is making excellent progress and Mr. Allen, the superintendent, is certainly conduct ins some very interesting demonstrations that should prove of great value to the settlers upon the project. The varied tests of fruits, cultural methods and sys tems of application of water should ail prove to be very beneficial to the new settler. "This is an entirely new agricultural section and conditions are somewhat dlf ferent from any other district, hence the tests made at the experimental farm are especially opportune to determine what variety of forage plants, fruits and vegetables will do beet. "The farm has already demonstrated that Winter rye Is a valuable crop for adding inexpensively humus to the soil. This Is especially Important as the great est need of this sandy soil is organic matter. Duty of Water Low. "It is evident that the duty of water at present is rather low. This Is due largely to lack of humus. When organic matter Is added to the soil by means of barnyard compost, or by growing rye. alfalfa or other forage crops, less water will be required. This organic matter will act as a sponge in retaining moisture, aleo will prevent the soil from drifting. To my mind this district has a bright future and within a few years will make a showing that certainly will be gratify ing to Its most ardent friends. "Those great ricks of excellent alfalfa hay on Colonel Newport's farm is in disputable evidence of the production and potentiality of tlue section. The alfalfa plot between the Hotel Oregon and the depot Is splendid evidence of the possible production of this soil. There is no better alfalfa grown anywhere. Fruit will unquestionably be the prin cipal crop of this section, but In the meantime it would be well to give some attention to dairying. At the present prices of dairy products if the alfalfa hay be fed to good dairy cows It would yield a return of about $30 per ton. This is much better than selling the hay for would leave an excellent compost for the improvement of these sandy soils. Cows Are Needed. "There should be one or more cows kept on every farm. They, will pave the way for better fruit production and at the same time yielding a constant revenue to the owners. "Organization and utilization of re sources should be the slogan of the dis trict. This, with a proper study of or chard and farm problems, will develop a highly prosperous community." Dr. Withycombe also eaid that he now had up with the railroad company a pro position that will mean much should he be successful in getting Its adoption. He proposes, instead of running the demon stration trains as heretofore, to make a slop of not less than a day in each place and two or even three days in the more important piacee. This would enable the experts carried on the train plenty of time to go into a subject thoroughly and not be compelled to give a hurried general talk. It would also give them time to personally visit an orchard or a field with which the owner i having trouble. These are but a few of the many advantages of such a change, and the doctor Is much in hopes that li is plan will be adopted. applications for the vacancy, voted unanimously to instruct the committee, to extend a call to Rev. Robert Evans Browning, recently a missionary from Shanghai, China. BENNETT CASE DISMISSED '"Bleeding," Not Blow Caused Jor gensen's Death at Astoria. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) The preliminary examination of Berle Bennett on an Information charging him with manslaughter In causing the death of the late Hans Jorgensen, was held In Justice Goodman's Court this evening, and on motion of Deputy Dis trict .Attorney Brownell, the charce was dismissed. The physician who performed the au topsy on the deceased testified that the blow struck by Bennett was not suffi cient to have caused death, and while it undoubtedly aggravated the case, the man's death was due to the fact that he was what Is termed a "bleeder." that Is, his blood lacked the property which causes the blood In a healthy person to clot. The court in dismissing the case said he thought the defendant should be held for assault and battery, but no one would sign the complaint, so Bennett was discharged from custody.
