Senatorial Work Contracted.
The difference Is that Senator Guf
irerihrlm and Senator Hushes, of Color
radix one a Republican and the other
a Ixmoorat. lay down hard on the
Hoard and on the President, and they
rut what they asked for. The Oregon
Senators, one a Kepubllcan and the
other a Democrat, stood aside, asked
nothing fur Malheur, and excused them
selves on the icround that the Malheur
settlers several years a ico refused to
sign up their lands when they had the
opportunity. The Grand Valley set
tiers In Colorado did exactly the same
thins;, but their Senators took up their
case, notwithstanding past troubles.

the west side Umatilla project, and also

there Is now no possibility that either

by Representatives. Senatorial Influence
Is great In Washington; It Is the great
est power outside of that of the Execu
tive. But no Senator. In quiescent mood,
gets) for his slate what It needs. There
is too much competition. The plums go
to the Senators who are most active,
most persistent and most Insistent.
Needed Aid Refused.
As a matter of fact. Oregon's Inter
ests have not been properly protected
at any time since Senator Borah, of
Idaho, first proposed the enactment of
an Irrigation bond bill. The Borah bill,
which had behind it both President
Taft and Secretary Balllnger, proposed
a $30,000,000 Irrigation bond Issue. It
will be recalled that adverse eastern
Interests In the House of Representa
tives sought to kill the bill entirely,
then compromised on 110.000.000. Ore
gon's two Representatives, out of S91
members of the House, were unable
successfully to combat thla eastern
prejudice, nor waa the united strength
of the West ample In the House to
thwart the will of the overtowerlng
Ksst. However, the western members
pulled together, and finally, with the
aid of ITesldent Taft, advanced the
House bill to 1:0.000.000.
When the bill was returned to the
Senate, and Senator Borah undertook
to restore the t3tt.'.00O provision of his
original bill, the Oregon senators, like
some from other Western states, re
fused to join In a right, and 20.000.000
had to be accepted. Tet a stubborn
fight by half a doxen western Sena
tors would have secured 130.000.000 In
stead of (20.000.000. Senator Borah
alone could not accomplish this.
Opportunity Is Neglected.
That same 120.000.000 bill contained
a clause. Inserted by the adverse east
ern Interests In the House, repealing
Section of the Reclamation Act. The
two Oregon Representative could not
prevent the adoption of this provision,
for they were two out of 391. and most
western Congressmen were not only
willing, but glad to see Section re
pealed. Hut a determined opposition
by the two Oregon Senators could have
forced the dropping of this clause from
the l.'O.OOO.OOl) bill. Such opposition
did not develop: neither Oregon Sena
tor raised hia voice in even mild pro
test. Section 9 was repealed, and
neither Senator knew of It until later.
Had that Section been In force when
the President distributed the 147.O00,
000. he would have been compelled to
give Oregon, under the terms of that
section, not less than J6.000.00n
enough to build the West Side I'matllla
project In Ita entirity. and get the Mal
heur well under way. It probably
would nave completed one or more
units of thii many-times postponed
project.
Rut Section Is no longer In the law,
and It will never get bark Into the
law. for the Rast does not believe In It.
and most of the Western states are op
posed to It. as it operates against them.
Yet this same Section 9 was Inserted
In the original Reclamation Act by the
far-seeing Thomas II. Tongue, of Ore
gon, a man whose foresight was better
than the hindsight of some who came
after.

Relation Between Schedule la
ot Maintained Question
Interstate, Sj Road.
Hearlnc on the motion to make per
manent the restraining order Issued on
application of the Southern raclfic
Company against the Oregon State Rail
stay Commission will be hnd this morn
ing beginning at 10 odoclt before Unrted
States Circuit Judges Gilbert, Wolverton
and Bean. The suit Involves the order
made on September II last, reducing
freight rates on the Southern Tacifio in
Oregon 20 per cent.
Especial Importance attaches to the
hearing because It Involves questions of
Importance to the whole Issue of rates.
Both Intrastate and Interstate rates are
at Issue.
Order Made After Hearing:.
The State Railway Commission on
April 5 last, by vote of Its members,
after a preliminary Investigation, deter
mined that sufficient grounds existed to
warrant a hearing to determine whether
class rates Imposed by the railway com
pany for transportation of freight car
loads or less than carloads between
Portland and other points within the
state were unreasonable or unjustly dis
criminatory. A complaint waa Issued on
the same day and April 28 was fixed as
the date of the hearing. The first evi
dence was taken April 27. At this hear
ing there appeared for the railway com
pany R. A. Letter, attorney; R. B. Mil
ler, general freight agent, and H. E.
Lounsbury, district freight agent. There
also appeared representatives of the
cnmmessial bodies of Salem, Hedford,
Portland. Dayton. Sheridan, Lebanon,
Eugene. Drain and Roseburg. After sev
eral adjournments final testimony waa
taken In Portland August 2, the Com
mission on September 21 issued an order
reducing the rates. An application was
made In the United Btates Circuit Court
later for an order to restrain the Com
mission from enforcing Its decree. This
was duly Issued and the hearing today
Is to determine finally the Commission
right to Issue the order.
'Ret" Earned, 1 Contention.
The meln Issue la the relation between
the classification of rates of the South
ern Pacific. It Is contended by the
Commission that the proper relation
does not exist. The railway declares
that reduction would disturb the rates
for Interstate business. It also declares
tnat a major portion of the traffic earns
a "reat" In PortlanS that Is. most of
the goods shipped Into the Willamette
Valley and on to the state line come
through Portland from out-of-state
points and earn the "rest- by reason of
rebllllng through the hands of the Port
land wholesaler and Jobber. This. It
la contended, makes the shipment an In

It Is also contended that If the reduced
rates prevail It will reduce the freight

GOGORZA'S RINGING VOICE
Will Be Heard In Splendid Pro
gramme Tomorrow livening.
Tomorrow evening at the Heilig Thea
ter, Emlllo d Gogorxa, the splendid
young baritone, will present a very un
usual and Interesting programme, which
bears the names of such composers as
Gluck, Cesti, Rossini. Ercllla, Massenet,
Strauss, Tschalkowsky, Von Flelltz, et
ceiers. Gogorsa's concerts in San Francisco
have been enthusiastically received, and
one of the papers said: "His magnificent
baritone voice rolled forth with an ease
and ringing timbre that delighted the
ear that pines for beautiful sound. And
thl exceptionally well-modulated and
caressing voice was backed by an emo
tional color that revealed an exquisite
fund of musical knowledge and musi
cianship. There could not be a better
test for the actual capability of a singer
than Cestfs "Itornloal Idol Mlo." Here
are phrases of sustained tone color which
If not ndequately interpreted Become
monotonous and totally devoid of deeper
sentiment. But Gogorza Invested these
beautiful periods with an emotlonallem
of supreme force and power and bent
the cold notes to his will and transformed
them Into living stories." The Gogorsa
song recital will be at the Heilig Thea

tion of Lois 8teers-Vynn Coman.

Portland Association One of Six
Largest In Country.

paign the Portland Young Men's Chris
tian Association gained more than 1600
members In 1910. and now ranks as one
of the six largest associations In the
United States. The total membership
Is now 4019. One year ago It was 2326.
When the past year began the T. M.
C. A.' officers expected that the associa
tion would gain 1000 members during
the 12 months. The ratio of gain, how
ever, was much greater than predicted.
It Is believed that the percentage of In
crease was the highest of any Y. M. C.
A. in the United States.
"There are not more than four or five
associations in the country larger than
the one In Portland," said H. W. Stono.
general secretary. last night. "Of
course, the combined associations of New
York and other large Eastern cities are
larger than ours, but the Individual or
ganisations are smaller. Only one asso
ciation west of Chicago surpasses us.
Thst Is Los Angeles, with 51-15 members.
Portland will pass the 6000 mark during
1911."
