Railroads Did Not Promote
Salt Lake Conference.
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.

LA GRANDE. Or.. Sept .. Speeial.)
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.

HERMISTON. Or Sept. 1 (Special.)
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

of the many advantages of such a change,

plan will be adopted.

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.
