THE WEST'S GREATEST

The semi-centennial anniver
sary of The Oregonian . (daily
edition) is an event in which
every citizen of the Pacifio
Northwest may feel a personal
interest. For a great news
paper is more than a private
enterprise; as a mirror of life
.and progress in its field, it is
an organ with which the public
is vitally concerned. And chief
ly as a state is portrayed
through its leading newspaper
is that state known to the re
mainder of the country.
The Oregonian throughout its
history has held first place in
Oregon journalism. It is uni
versally recognized as the great
est newspaper of the Pacifio
Coast. . Its files contain a com
plete history of the Oregon
country, almost back to the first
settlements.
The development of The Ore
gonian from the time it was
printed on a hand press to the
present day will be described in
the Fiftieth Anniversary Edi
tion, to be issued on February
4, 1911. This development re
flects the progress of Oregon
and the neighboring states, but
tne Anniversary Edition will be
far more than a history of The
Oregonian. It will cover every
phase of industrial and com
mercial advancement in Oregon,
and pietorially will be the fin

LAW SUSPENDED FOR 4 YEARS
People's Idea Regarding Coal
Lands Given, He Says.
EX-FORESTER IS SCORED
I. J. Joslyn Says Pincliofs Sole Ob
ject Was to Injure Balllnger and
Says Roosevelt Stopped
Alaska's Development.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Ex-President
Roosevelt and ex-Forester GIfford Pln
chot are charged with blocking the de
velopment of Alaska In a letter to Pres
ident Taft today by F. J. Joslyn, an
Alaskan capitalist, to combat the argu
ments presented by Mr. Pinchot In his
brief asking for the cancellation of the
so-called Cunningham coal claims.
Mr. Joslyn Is president of the Tanana
Valley Railroad Company and says he
filed his letter, not In the interest of
the Cunningham claimants or any one
syndicate, but as an expression of opin
ion of the people of Alaska, regarding
the granting of titles to coal land. He
declares that Mr. Pincliofs sole object
In filing his brief was to embarrass and
do injury to Secretary Balllnger. He
says the brief Is full of misstatements,
"so much so, in fact, that Mr. Pinchot
must be aware of their untruthfulness.
He denies that the Cunningham claims
are fraudulent.
' Mr. Joslyn declares that Mr. Roose
velt, when President, approved the act
of 1904 relative 'to Alaskan coal lands.
"Two years later," he says, "Mr. Pin
chot concluded It was not a good law.
He did not apply to Congress to' amend
or repeal it, but went directly to the
Imperial occupant of the White House,
and Mr. Roosevelt, on November 12, 1906,
issued an order suspending it. He not
only suspended it as to future application,
but suspended the rights already ini
tiated under it. . Was there ever a more
despotic use of executive power In this
Nation?"
He charges it waa an act of tyranny
and an invasion of the rights of the peo
ple of Alaska.
"Though four years have passed, this
coal law of 1904 still stands suspended,"
continues Mr. Joslyn. "It 1 not the
oppression of any great and grasping
monopoly that has, as Mr. Pinchot
cla'ms, arrested the dei'elopment of Alas
ka, but the abuw of power at Washing
ton instigated by Mr. Pinchot, that has
throttled our development In spite of
the honorable and praiseworthy efforts
of such capitalists as the Guggenheim
and Morgan syndicate, the Cunningham
claimants and the- other 30,000 American
citizens who are deeply affected."
Mr. Joslyn urged the President to is
sue an order throwing open these coal
lands for sale under the law. In order
that they may be worked for the benefit
of the territory.

ARBITRATION IS SOUGHT
Stone-Webster Interests Decline to
Go Before Committee of Citi
zens With Trouble. Order
to Bo Preserved.
EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 2. (Special.)
The persistent efforts of mobs of
strike sympathizers resulted in a com
plete tie-up of the Stone-Webster Com
pany's streetrallway system in Everett
today.
Rails on Inclines were soaped so that
the cars could not climb, trolleys were
pulled off, and finally the occupants of
a car, standing at the corner of Hewitt
and Colby avenues, near the Stone
Webster office, were pulled from tha
car
Among the number was Mrs. W. I.
Sturtevant, wife of the manager of tho
Stone-Webster interests here. To avoid
further trouble, tho company ordered
the car taken to the barn.
Superintendent Draws Revolver.
A great crowd surged around Super
intendent Newell of the Stone-Webster
Company, following the car incident,
and he drew his revolver and ordered
them to back up. The order was com
plied with and a warrant was Issued
for his arrest on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons.
Mayor Hartley persuaded the mob to
disperse. Then the city executive and
a committee waited upon the company
in an effort to secure arbitration of the
strike and later the following commun
ication was received from W. I. Sturte
vant, tho manager of the Stone-Webster
Interests:
."Replying to your request for arbi
tration of the differences between this
company and its employes, will say that
the circumstances are such that we do
not feel Justified in acceding to your
request."
Arbitration Is Sought.
Following the receipt of the commu
nication it was announced by the com
pany that another effort to secure arbi
tration would be made.
Leaders of the strikers say the
streetcar men were not responsible for
this afternoon's disorder, so far as they
were Individually concerned, as no
striker was seen among the mob that
congregated in front of the company's
office. Neither was the trouble, it is
said, precipitated by members of or
ganized labor, unless it might be that
a few hot-heads figured in the.
trouble."
"Order must be preserved at any
cost," said Mayor Hartley tonight, "t
want the mob to understand that the
city will not tolerate interference with
law1, or the destruction of property.
Organized labor this morning offered
e 500 men as special peace officers.
and I want all good people of the city
to Join with the administration to keep
order."
Strikebreakers Rumors Out.
Rumors were current today that the
railroad company had brought eight
strikebreakers here from Seattle last
night.
No cars were operating this after
noon after the mob congregated, except
on the lnterurban lines.
