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WITHDRAWN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in this withdrawn area are the cities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:

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.

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

In the country produce department, noth
ing was done beyond receiving the few
shipments. '

day were 214 cattle. 237 sheep. 1343 hogs
