Balllnger In Argument.
OI.YMPIA. Jan. 25. (Special) The
Senate met at 11:S0 o'clock this morn
ing to receive a few bill and aoon was
In the throea of a light over atafe and
National conservation which continued
for nearly three Jiours.
When House Joint memorial No.
wo read It waa a signal for Bryan,
known as the Innurirent Senntor from
Kitsap to emphasize his position on the
poller of the Interior Department rela
tive to public lands In Alaska. Ho de
clared It waa not within the province
of the Senate to ask Congress to enact
vpeclal laws making It possible to
throw the coal lands In Alaska open to
rntrjr. Closing his speech, which lasted
S mlnut. he moved that considera
tion of the bill be postponed Indefinite
ly. The motion wss lost and the mem
orial was subsequently adopted 25 for
and IS asainst. after being amended
and condensed from nine to three par
agraphs. Insincerity Is AlleRcd.
Lined np with Bryan were White, of
Whatcom. Rosenhaupt. of Spokane.
Jark.ion. rf King. Metcalf. of Pierce,
and Nichols, of King. Supporters of the
memorial were Falconer, of Snohomish.
Kuth. of Thurston. Collins, of King.
Hutchinson, of Spokane, and Piper, of
King.
"You Senators who are boosting
Alaska and do not want the resources
of that country protected are not act
ing with sincerity." said Bryan. "It
look to me that the members of this
legislature who are taking that stand
are looking to their own selfish Inter
ests andwant to make the way easy
for the Cunningham claimants and the
t;nggenhelm Interests. They contend
that If Alaska coal land Is thrown open
to entry more coal will be produced
and the produot will be made cheaper.
I do not blievelt. We have thousands
of acres of roal lands In this state
owned by private interests. The big
corporations and the railroads want to
have laws passed that they may con
trol the natural resources for their
own benefit.
Kxoaeratloa of Hal linger Meant.
"If we pass this memorial it will be
giving Polndexter a slap in the face.
Tills memorial would exonerate Rallln
ger and Cunningham and we would be
calling Garfield and Polndexter harpies.
The people will not believe It they
will not stand for such leglslat'en."
rollins. of King, said the greatest
tMug needed in this country was safe
and sane conservation and that lav
should be passed that will permit the
dviopmet of the country for tha ben
efit of the whole people. He declared
that the memorial suggested wise leg
islation and believed that It was time
to unbottle the resources of Alaska and
let the present generation take advan
tage of the opportunities offered there.
W hite objected to the memorial on the
around that It contained statements
that had not been proved. Metcalf was
of the same opinion, saying It "was not
proper to Instruct Congress what to
do In the matter."
Pennsylvania Result Feared.
Rosenhaupt thought the development
or conservation of resources In Alaska
should be left entirely In the hands of
the government.
"I do not want to see Alaska polluted
by the greed of the moneyed Interesta
and syndicates." herald. "If laws are
fassed as are suggested In this me
morial, that will be the result. Look at
the conditions In Pennsylvania that ex
ist now. The railroads and the capital
istic class there own ail the coal lands.
The poor people who work for them
there are In a pitiable situation. Give
the moneyed Interests the same oppor
tunity here, and we will see worse con
ditions obtain In' Alaska and Washing
ton." Senator Ruth came to the defense of
the memorial in a heated reply to Bryan
and Rosenhaupt. He declared that It
was the duty of the Senate to adopt
the memorial and to show Congress that
It is time to bury the Plnchot policy so
de-p that It will never come to the
surface again.
Rath Strong for Memorial.
"Had Polndexter. Bryan. Garfield and
IMnchot been in the harness 60 years
ago Puget Sound would have been a
howling wilderness, the falls on the
Spokane would be still running wild,
the whole Northwest country would yet
be the stamping grounds of the Indians
and unfit for white -men to live in," de
clared Ruth. '
"You fellows are saying much about
the dear people. If you would be con
sistent and be on their side, let them
have the chance to go on these lands
that they may make homes and de
velop the resources. 'If this memorial
would help lialllnger In any way. I
want to say I am for it. The people
will wake up some day and realize that
be was their friend. The fight against
him was a conspiracy Inspired by such
men who would throttle our develop
ments. I will add that the opening of
the lands In Alaska is of much more
Interest to the poor men than the cap
italists of this state."
Appeal Made for Poor Man.
Hutchinson, of Spokane, condemned
the conservation policy. He aald:
"f have never heard of the Govern
ment discovering new lands or doing
any pioneering in the West. It has
remained for the poor man to exploit
the new countries. The pioneers made
the West. They made Alaska and are
entitled to their rights. In the past It
has been the man who came later who
reaped the benefits, now. let us give the
poor man a chance to profit."
Some of the Senators raised objec
tions to the memorial, saying It con
tained assertions sweeping In charac
ter and suggested that the clauses be
stricken out. Much discussion fol
lowed, but the memorial was finally
amended, reading as follows:
Your memorialists respectfully pray for
the speedv pissass of such lla!atka as
will permit of the determination by the
courts of the rights and claims of the lo
csrers ef coal and ether lands In Alaska,
to the end that either of these claims, if
fraudulent, be cancelled and tnes land re
stored to the public domain to be entered
thereto Is ease no fraud appears, so that
mws of Congress; or that patents ls
and dsvetoped by other people under the
the locators themselrea may open the
mines.
Opea Coal Mines Wanted. ,
Tour memorialists pray for the Imme
diate passage by Congress of some act per
mitting the leasing of coal land In Alaska
under such terms as will Invito the Invest
ment of the targe capital necessary to open
these mines and to construct transportation
llnr to them: and which at tho same time
will protest the country acatnst any possible

LAND BOARD GRILLED

Handling of Markajr Iani and Big
Lot River Irrigation Project
Alleged to Be Disgraceful,

BOISB. Idaho. Jan. 25. (Special.) Ex
Govemor Tlrady. ex-Secretary of State
Lansdon. ex-Superintendent of Public
Instruction Chamberlain. ex-State En
gineer Stephenson and Attorney-General
I). C McDougall were today directly
charged In the 8tate Senate with 'wilful
violation of the duties Imposed upon
them as the state land board, together
with wilful negligence and Incompetence
In handling the storage dam of the Big
Lost River project.
The charge was filed in the Senate over
the signatures of Senator Macbeth, mi
nority leader, the .citizens committee of
Town of Mackay. and A. Lv Fowler,
cashier of the Mackay State Bank. .
Macbeth asserts he proposes to pre
sent further charge In the Senate.
Chairman ITeston of the Joint InvestI-'
gation declared that If this course wss
pursued he would resign from the com
mittee. Representative Hutton led the fight in
the House.
Back of today' .proceedings In the
Legislature Is the scandal connected with
the construction of the Mackay dam,
across the Lost River. 9uit waa filed
here In the United States Circuit Court
Monday upon which hangs the petition
for a receivership, against the Big Lost
River Irrigation Company by Cory Bros,
contractors of Salt Lake. The plaintiffs
demand StMO.OuO, which they allege due
them for work on the Mackay project.
The -litigation Involves the bonding
firm of Trobrldge & Nlvers. which han
dled the bonds for the Big Lost River
project. Against them the charge Is
made that half of the money from the
bond sale, or approximately f ISO, 000,
which- waa to have gone Into the proj
ect, waa Invested and lost In a Colorado
enterprise.
Although the suit dor the recovery of
the $600,000 wss filed. Judge H. IL
Henderson, of Salt Lake, who repre
sented Corey Bros., withheld the pre
pared application for the appointment
of a receiver of the company, because
the State of Idaho wished to become
an Interested party in the proceedings
as an Intervenor. for the project la
under the Carey act. and the state Is
entitled to Intercede, on behalf of the
settlers on the land.
The Big Lost River project was
launched several yeara ago under the
auspices of the Idaho State Land Board.
For the purpose of irrigating the land,
bonds were floated and funds raised.
The largest earthen dam In the world.
It Is said, was erected across the Lost
River near the town of Mackay.
The Mackay dam had hardly been
completed before It waa discovered that
proper supervision of the work had not
been made and. as a result, the water
was leaking under the dam. It had
been planned to impound behind this
huge earthen structure water sufficient
to Irrigate the 60.000 acres of land in
the valley below. The leakage, how
ever, made the structure unsafe and
practically ruined the project. (
The Mackay dam episode entered Into
the poiniral campaign of last Fall and
was used by the Democratic party with
effect against the Republican, the
charge being made that the State Land
Board and ex-Governor Brady were re
sponsible - for the condition f the
project.
The present Legislature passed a
measure voting S1O.U0O relief money out
of the Carey act fund to place the dam
In condition.

President Kerr in Report Says
88,C00 Persons Are Aid -to
School.
EXTENSION WORK PLANNED
Special Emphasis Placed on Neces
sity of Reaching Out to Solve In
dustrial Problems Arising Rap- '
Idly in ' State of Oregon.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Con-a'.lls, jan 25. (Special.)
That during the past blennlum more
than 88.000 persona have actually partici
pated in the work carried on by the Ore
gon Agricultural College and that many
thousands more have been served
through the college bulletins, circulars
and personal correspondence. Is one of
the many striking facts set forth In the
report of President W. J. Kerr, of the
Oregon Agricultural College, which Is
being prepared for publication. ,
The report, which Is addressed to the
Board of Regents, and which Is for the
blennlum ID -1310, will All more than 300
printed pages and treats exhaustively
every pha of the instructional and ex
perimental work which has been done
during the past two years, and gives de
tailed statements for the plans and re
quirements fur the next blennlum.
Tho keynote of the policy and plans
for the next two years la found In the
recommmendatlon for the establishment
of a permanent department for the pro
motion and prosecution of the extension
work. Special emphasis Is placed on
the necessity of reaching out and aiding
In the solution of the industrial prob
lems which are arising by reason of the
rapid development of the state. It Is
urged that means should be provided by
which the college could carry to the
people of the state, for Immediate appli
cation., the Information which has been
gathered by the college experts. More
farmers' Institutes, numbers of itinerant
schools which may be kept constantly In
the field, tho publication of more bulle
tins and the use of railroad demonstra
tion trains are suggested as the means
for carrying on this branch of the work.
Student Enrollment Grows.
The report shows that the student en
roll men t during the year 1909 was 1351:
1910, 1591, and the estimated enrollment
for the present year is placed between
1800 and 1900 students.. The greatest de
velopment and the largest increase in
student enrollment Mas been In the
school of agriculture. While during the
last fire or ten years there has been a
marked Increase throughout the entire
country In the Interest taken in agricul
tural education, perhaps in no other
state Is this true to such an extent as
in Oregon. For Instance, during the three
years from 1907 to 1S10 the number of
agricultural courses ottered in the Ore
gon Agricultural College has Increased
from 18 to 123. The actual Increase n
the amount of agricultural work given
during the period mentioned has been
upwards of 900 per cent. The Increase
In the number of students pursuing work
in agriculture during the same period
has been almost as great The number
of students In regular degree courses
has Increased -13 per cent and In .the
short course work S30 per cent. The
proportion of agricultural students to the
total college enrollment has increased
from 10 to upwards of 27 per cent.
There has also been a great Increase
In the Interest through the state in the
college extension work. During the bi
ennlum there have been held 143 ses
sions of ' Farmers Institute In 28 dif
ferent counties with an aggregate at
tendance of 28.108. . Four demonstration
trains, with stops at 78 different places,
have been run. securing an attendance
of 60.060 persons. The apple packing
schools have enrolled 270 students,
which mokes a total of 86,699 persons
who participated In the Institutes and
the Itinerant schools. In addition to this
work there has been a large number of
college bulletins and circulars, relating
to various phases of agricultural work,
distributed throughout the state. There
has also been personal correspondence
to the extent of approximately 10.000
letters per year. The value of such
work Is Indicated by the fact that the
demand for it has been far in excess
of the available funds with which to
meet the expense.
The estimates of the heads of the
various departments for equipment, sup
plies and maintenance for the next two
years have been very greatly reduced
by the final action of the Board of Re
gents In the preparation of the regular
budget which la made the basis of ap
propriations which are now being re
quested. Many of the Items have been
cut from 20 per cent to 50 per cent cf
the original estimate. .
$93,000 Is Needed.
The total equipment requirements,
according to the most conservative esti
mates of the various heads of depart
ments, amounts to a total of 393.702.
This has been reduced In the budget
to 60.000. The estimates for improve
ments and repairs amounted to $92,6J9
and were reduced to 140,000. The report
also urges, besides the buildings asked
for In the budget, the great need of a
library building to be constructed at a
cost of approximately $126,000, an audi
torium costing 1100,000 and a mens
dormitory costing $100,000.
The other ltema In the report are
reduced In the same way Indicating thnt
the final draft of the budget Is very
greatly reduced from the original esti
mates. The report calls attention to the great
extension of the experimental and re
search work In agriculture which has
been carried on through the experiment
stations. It states that in addition to
the work done at the main station at
Corvallia and the branch stations at
Union. Hermiston and Moro. extensive
work Is also being carried on In co-operation
with fruit growers and farmers
principally In the Willamette Valley,
the Rogue. River Valley and 'at Hood
River.
Dr. Kerr estimates that the farm
crops In the Willamette Valley can bo
increased by Irrigation from 25 per cent
to 240 per cent and that the hundreds
of thousands of acres of fertile lands
In Eastern Oregon can be reclaimed
and made highly productive by dry
farm methods. He also points out that
there are many difficulties to surmount
in different parts of the state In the
development of the horticultural, dairy
ing and other agricultural Interests.
In this connection he urge appropria
tions for the establishment and main
tenance of a branch dry farming at a- ,
tlon in the Harney Valley, a branch ex- i
perlment station In Southern Oregon
and provision ior irrigation invrouga- i
twins in different parts of the Wlllara- I
ite Vallev and for the support of gen
eral experimental work to be carried on
from the borne station. The Federal
Government has. according to the re- I
port, offered to co-operate with the
state to the extent of paying one-half
mo expense ui iiittmiciiam.
SHIPMENTS , AWAIT ROAD
Culver Junction Has 600,000 Bush
els of Grain Ready.
CULVER JUNCTION. Or., Jan. 25.
(Special.) W. O. Wilkes, assistant gen
eral freight and pussenger agent of the
Hill lines of The Northwest, accompanied
by R. H. Crosier, advert'sing agent of
the same lines, who are Inspecting the
territory to be served by the Oregon
Trunk Line in the Deschutes Valley,
spent lust Sunday afternoon and evening
here and left Monday to Inspect the line
to the south.
Mr. Wilkes Is making a personal ex
amination of the country, its tonnage
and . passenger traffic possibilities and
the warehouse applications and sites at
the various towns and stations along the
road. Tli re e warehouse sites sre ap
plied for at Culver Junction and an
other application will be filed soon. The
railroad men were surprised to find that
the farmers near Culver Junction hsve
6fi0,000 bushels of grain ready for ship
ment over the new road. About 60,000
bushels of wheat are in storage within
a radius of three miles of Culver Junc
tion. This will be shipped as soon ss
train service Is established, early 'n
March. The rails are laid within 37
miles of Culver Junction and the work
Is progressing rapidly toward, the
Crooked River.
The country being opened up by the
new Oregon Trunk road is greater man
the territory served by all the other H1I
lines in the Northwest, including the
North Bank and all the electric lines of
the Willamette Valley. This comparison
was made by Mr. Wilkes in his visit to
Culver Junction.
IT
Brde of" Mr. Xenophon
Forgets Own Nam 3
Glorious Cognomen la. Nothing, for
She Wedded Husband for Himself
Alone.'
EUGENE. Or., Ja. 25. (Special.) In
ancient Greece Xenophon was a name
with which to conjure. In modern
America, however, its glory seems to
have departed from It. At any rate a
fair daughter of the Occident was re
cently married here to a descendant, of
Hellas, bearing the name of the, illus
trious historian and warrior, and her
first act was to forget her lord's cogno
men as completely asr If It were only
common John Smith.
The new Mrs. Xenophon called up the
grocery and. to' the polite proprietor who
answered, she gave a list of the day's
needs.
"And to whom shall I charge this?"
the merchant asked. A long silence at
the other end of the wire.
"Really. I can't remember," said the
new wife.
"Can't remember your own name!"
"Well, you see It's this way. My hus
band has a big, long name that begins
with X and I never could remember It,
but I Just thought I'd take him anyway.
But he owns a shoe-shining stand down
on Willamette street, and he's all right,
so there!"
The reference to the shoe-slilning stand
cleared up the merchant's troubles. He
charged the groceries to "Mrs. Xeno
phon" and remarked that he would rather
be married for himself than for his
name, anyway.

Kidney Trouble Overcome
bi the Great Treatment
I have been a sufferer for years with
kidney and bladder trouble and took
almost everything a drug store con-
tained, without obtaining any benefit.
I suffered so that I became utterly
discouraged, as I could not sleep, waa
always dizzy and had a headache all
the time. I saw one of your adver
tisements' and as a last resort, decided
to try your Swamp-Root. I am now
taking the third bottle and feel like
a new woman, sleep well and have no .
pains whatever.
I strongly advise all sufferers to
take the oniy real cure for kidney and
bladder trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root was a God-send to me.
You may publish this letter if you
wish so that it may be the means of
bringing some poor sufferers back to
health. MRS. MARY, O'DONNELL,
Lander, Wyo.
