W l. lLA BIG AREA OF GOAL LAND WITHDRAWN Extent of Deposits in Idaho Is Not Known, but They Will Be "Conserved." GOOD TRACTS AFFECTED Southern Tart of Stale, Including Fnake River Valley and rayette Ilolvc Irrigation I'rojerl. Are Included in Territory. OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Sept. 5. With a view to con serving" the coal resources of the stae of Idaho. President Taft recently issued orders withdrawing- from entry up wards of S.oou.ono acres of land sup posed to contain deposits of coal or llpnlte. How much of this area actual ly contains coal or lignite, nobody at this time can tell: how much of this area la now In private ownership, and therefore not subject to withdrawal by order of the President, has not been computed, but there Is a vast percent age of the area Included In the with drawal that Is now tied up so that there can be no new development of coal on any of the lands still In the hands of the Government. The President's order affects a great part of Southern Idaho, all of the Snake River Valley, in fact, from the Oregon line eastward to the Minidoka Irrigation project, and extending; south along- the Oregon line for a distance of nearly 100 miles from Wclser. Included in this withdrawn area are the cities of Boise. Nampa. Caldwell. Welser, Pnvette and a number of others; also Included is the entire Payette-Boise trrlRBtlon project and the Twin Falls Irrigation project, lying to the east ward. flood. Iniitl Affected. Some of the best agricultural land In Idaho, now under irrigation, is em braced In the President's order. But the order is not effective as to lands that have been patented by the Gov ernment and are now in private own ership. As to lands which have been entered but which are not patented, there Is some doubt: the department Inclines to the opinion that such entrymen, under what is known as the surface rights bill, may proceed and secure patent to the surface of their lands, but be de nied all right and Interest in coal that may lie beneath the surface. This en tire Snake River Valley Is presumed to contain, lignite, not coal. Over In Southeastern Idaho, how ever. He about Sl townships along the Wyoming border, which are believed to contain valuable bituminous coal, the only deposits of the kind In Idaho. There has been little development of thid coal as yet. though the geologists hold that it Is of the same quality as tiie best Wyoming coal, now being produced not 50 miles distant Smaller withdrawals were made, one around the town of Salmon, another In Nez Perce County, and a third in the Sawtooth forest reserve. These tracts embrace what are supposed to he old lake beds. Little Is known of their coal, however, or rather of their lignite, but all lands affected by the withdrawal will later be examined by the Geological Survey to determine the character and value of the deposits. Pending investigation and appraisal, none of the coal or lignite may be ac quired. All these withdrawals are made on Information gathered by the Geo logical Survey from time to time. No recent examinations have" been made of the coal deposits of Idaho. President Orders Withdrawal. The President's order of withdrawal reads as follows: "It Is hereby ordered that the follow ing described lands be. and the same arc herebv withdrawn from settlement, location, sale or entry, and reserved for examination, and classification with re spect to coal value, subject to all of the provisions, limitations, exceptions and conditions contained In the act of leongxess entitled 'An act to authorlr.e the President of the United States to make withdrawals of public lands In certain cases.' approved June 25. 1910, and the act of Congress entitled 'An act to provide for agricultural entries on coal lands,' approved June 12. 1910: Townships 1 to B, Inclusive, 3i. 8 and 37 Townships 1 to 8.

A NEW STATEMENT NO, 1 Legislators Should Vote for Highest Party Xoininee, Is Urged. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 5. (To the Editor.) It may be safely assumed that no sane citizen will openly advocate minority rule. In place of rule by majority. In fact, is it not universally conceded, as a very basic principle on which our form of government rests, that majorities shall rule? It is a further fact that in the last two elections, under our primary law. in the more Important offices, men have been Installed and are now holding said offices, who received only a minority of the votes cast and are therefore In no sense the choice of the voting public and thia in open defiance of the persist ent hue and cry for recognition of the "choice of the people?" Except by a wanton perversion of con sistency and rational Interpretation, neither of our present United States Senators from Oregon tan claim that they were the people's choice, for did not a majority (voting for other candi dates.) thereby declare they did not want the present Incumbents? Can anyone question the self-evident fact that no one can honestly claim he is the choice of the people unless he have a majority of all the votes cast by the said people? Is it not a further fact that these men are holding office under minority rule, by flatly ignoring .the constitutionally declared and therefore legal mode of pro ceedings, as it relates to election of United States Senators? That Statement No. 1 is the spawn of demagogues Is becoming evident to the most obtuse. Is It consistent with our boasted freedom to require candidates for the Legislature to sign away their freedom as American citizens? It shows also a woeful lack of knowledge of human nature to suppose that Statement No. I will pTevent bar gain and sale of votes In Senatorial elections. A much more reasonable view is that a candidate who Is so devoid of fixed convictions that he will prove recreant to his party and all his former professed beliefs and agree to vote for a man who is openly opposed to all he has con tended for. and by so doing say, in effect, "you and your party In all your past have been right and I and the Republi can party have been wrong, and I here hv apologize and meekly surrender to your poll! leal dictation." would be among the first to surrender to corrupt ap proach. Is it not strangely derelict and Inconstant that Statement No. 1. that ballast of free Institutions and guardian of the "dear people s" interests, should apply only to Senatorial elections? If Statement No. 1 is for the protection of the people's right to rule, why is it that about nine-tenths of their interests are thus carelessly left unprotected? The reason Is found In the fact that it was not the "dear people" after all. but the malignantly selfish and unscrupulous politicians who had an eye on that par ticular office. The demagogic politician's whole Inter pretation of "the people's rule" then seems to be embodied in the question of getting himself elected to the United States Senate? This view must he cor rect, for the statement has no application except as It relates to the very office he Is reaching for. One is asked to look over the political personnel of the majority who are doing the heroics In behalf of Statement No. 1 and anti-assembly. They were formerly equally as positive as to the merit of the sacred ratio of 16 to 1 as they are to Statement No. 1 now. With all their alleged assurance they have proved sus ceptible to sudden radical changes on the shortest notice. One finds himself wondering how persons can reverse themselves with the seasons, belong to all parties and to no parties and be con sistent or safe leaders. There Is one feature in the erratic per formance of these self-proclaimed pur ists and patriots which Is peculiar and could come from no other source In that of most tenaciously claiming member ship In a party, the very mention of whose name causee their pure souls such Indescribable shame and anguish. They perhaps realized that by such course only can they work the Republican party anv Injury and they themselves have nothing to lose. The. crowning feature of hypocrisy Is reached, however, when they think of Republicans holding an as sembly. It doesn't matter In the least that such assembly was held In the open, that it had a membership of 1J00, and that the consultation of the ll'OO openlv expressed a preference for certain men whom they believed to be honest and competent. It matters not that all the names mentioned must run the gauntlet for the "people's choice." in full compliance with the primary law. It doesn't matter to these disinter ested (?) patriots that such abridgment of inherent rights was never before at tempted to be questioned on the Conti nent. They are blind to the fact of their absurd position that this embargo on freedom of speech should apply only to Republicans, when they are doing the same thing (only secretly) with the greatest industry. .. . The fact is that the Statement No. 1 and anti-assembly Is socialistic and rev olutionary in character, intended to ren der the maintenance of party organiza " tion lmposstble, and the possibility of the rehabilitation of the Republican party bv the assembly makes political free booters frantic, as they Teallze their trickery is becoming moil; clearly ap preciated by all intelligent and true friends of good government. They have "sneaked" two elections by duplicity and false pretense and it is believed that their hypocritical pretention of solicitude for the" "dear people" has been worked for about all it is worth. Many Republi cans are getting disgusted with their shallow duplicity and pretended purity of purpose. "You cannot gather figs from thistles." etc. The primary law enn be and should be amended so that Statement No. 1 shall mean, vote for the candidate receiving the highest nurreber of votes, belonging to the party to which you belong. A Aeeognltion of the right of assembly will act to prevent a horde of political out casts and demagogues rushing to. the front and nominating themselves to the disgust of friends of clean government. It la believed that"' very many who have acted heretofore with these pure souled reformers (?) are getting sick and disgusted with the Jonathan Bourne brand of socialistic and revolutionary heresies and will vote consistently with their professed alleglaUce to the Repub lican party. Surely the climax of poli tical perfidy Is reached In constantly claiming to be members of the Republi can party, while Indorsing every dirty intrigue and working day and night with its enemies to bring about its destruc tion. If one is politically honest, there should be no great difficulty in ascer taining his classification, unless he plead a lack of intelligence. Senator Bourne's reported recent dec laration thai "in case the assembly can didates carry the primaries, he will vote for the election of Democrats." ought to be conclusive evidence of his treachery nnd political dishonesty. Let every friend of decent manhood and honesty In politics think over this declaration and determine whether he can march under the banner of one who Is reported to openly declare himself an enemy to every phase of political honest, and at the same time hypocritically claim to be a Republican. Think it over carefully be fore you vote. W. A. CUSICK. FIREBUGS ARE AT WORK Boys Discover Unknown. Man Leav ing Barn Blaze Just Started. A deliberate attempt at incendiar ism was reported to the police yes terday by Sam Sasal, of 560 East Sev enteenth street, fho says that an un known man set fire to bis barn Sat urday night. Two boys who were In the vicinity saw the fire spring up and noticed a Btrange man leaving the place hurriedly about the same time. The boys called Sasal. who extin guished the blaze with small loss. In the stable he found an empty kero sene can. which had not been there1 previously. He said he knew of no reason why anyone should attempt to do him damage. Fire broke out In the one-story cot tage of J. Spring. 40 Grand avenue. North, at 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing, doing damage to the extent of J500, with no insurance. The fire caught from an overheated stove. The agents for the building are Stokes &. Zellar. 309 East Stark street. Biliousness is due to a disordered condition of the stomach.

BEST IN A DECADE Oregon Hops This Year Are of Choice Quality. PICKING IN FULL . SWING Xo Trading Has Yet Developed in the Xew Crop Brewers Re quirements Will Be Larger. Conditions In the Jast. Hop pieking is now in full swing in Oregon. The larger yards started yesterday with nearly full crews. Some of the smaller places, which began their harvest a week ago. already have the crops picked and a few have started bailing. Picking Is unus ually fast this year and so far the crop has been remarkably clean. The most satisfactory feature of The har vest Is the flne quality that Is showing in the crop. Hop men who have inspected the nrst samples from different sections say that without doubt the 1910 Oregon crop will be ttus nnost In point of quality the trade has known for a decade. - No business has developed yet, but it is probable there will be some sales of early bailings before the week has progressed far. There la much interest In the opening prices and many guesses' as to the figure at which the first lots will sell. The mar ket Is not likely to" be active before next month. Crop conditions in Xew York State and the general outlook in the country are sum marized by the New York Journal of Com merce, of September 1, as follows: "The market continues inactive, all in terests apparently awaiting further crop developments. In New York State plcklim la progressing rapidly, and the bulk of the crop will probably be harvested within a week. A few of the yards affected by white mould are being left unpicked, but. on tha whole, the quantity harvested will prob ably rot be reduced materially on that score, though the yield is generally expect ed to fall 10 to 13 per cent short of last year's crop of 4K.O0O bales. Oregon Is now generally estimated at 90.000 to 100.000 bales, California at 70.000 bales, Washington at 50,000 bales, so that If these estimates are approximately correct, the United States will have about 225.0OO bales, compared with 215.00O bales In 11)09. Of the latter crop It Is estimated that there are still left 1n nrst hands 10.000 bales In Oregon. 4500 In California. 500 bales In Washington and 1000 bales in New York State, or & total of 10.000 bales, compared with 5000 bales of the 1908 crop In nrst hands a year ago. On the other hand, stocks In breweries are undoubtedly considerably smaller than they were a year ago-" The brewers' requirements In the coming season should play a more important part In the operations of the market as the sales of beer are much larger than they were last year. The total sales In July last were 0.743.406 barrels, an'lncreaso of 540.510 bar rels over the output of July. 1909. As com pared with July. 190S. the increase this year is sr.7,574 barrels, there Is a decrease of 217.777 barrels as compared with July, 1907. and, an increase of 886,206 barrels when comparison Is made with July. 1906. HALF HOLIDAY ON FRONT STREET. Shippers Ignored the Fact That Yesterday Was Labor Day. A good many shippers of fruit at country points ignored the fact that yesterday was a holiday. Arrivals from some sections were ahout as liberal as on a business day. There was no chance to work oft the fresh sup plies or even reduce the surplus carried over from Saturday. The retail grocers were not doing business and the fruit stands and peddlers made but a small Impression on Front-street stocks. Trading came to Stop at noon when the wholesale stores closed. The forenoon prices were not much changed from those of Saturday. Peaches . j A '.a ..nit - box and araDes at Zi cents to 1 a crate. The best pears were I held at fl-.i. out son. irun cheaper. Buyers were not Interested in apples, and melons and cantaloupes dragged. In the country produce department, noth ing was done beyond receiving the few shipments. ' HOGS IraOlGHER SMALL BUNCH BRIXGS $10.10 AT STOCKYARDS. Holiday Is Generally Observed by Buyers and Sellers Receipts Are Liberal. The strong undertone of the local live stock market was demonstrated yesterday when a sale was effected at the North Portland yarda at 10.40. an advance of 5 cents over the best price of last week. Only a amall bunch, 89 head, were moved, but they were of top grade. In other lines there was practically nothlni doing during the day. buyers and sellers generally observing the holiday. Receipts for Sunday and Mon day were 214 cattle. 237 sheep. 1343 hogs and 204 goats. Of the hogs received. 15 cars were from Nebraska, and were understood to be sold to arrive. The other receipts should provide a fair amount of business for today. The shippers of the stock were Marlon Hager. of Creswell. two cars of goats; J.
