PENDLETON. Or, Dec. IS. Spe
sjal Jmige Stephen A. Lowell, of
Fnd!etoo. who Is a candidate for
United titates senator to succeed Jona
than Bourne. Jr.. recently save to
!he public his pl.itform. and Incidental
ly his reasons for opposing the llnurne
randtdary. A copy was transmitted to
the Senator, with the sucKestlon that a
Joint campaign before the people be
arranged. that republicans might
rhoosa between them at the primary
election. Mr. Hjrne l not favorable
to such an arrangement, and In declin
ing, published a letter criticising Mr.
Lowell, and saying that he will confine
his campaign to 'four pages in the
Voters' pamphlet.
Senator Bourne said further that he
relied on the Oregon vot ra to ap
preciate his service, which, he said, is
greater than that of any other man
who has ever represented Oregon In
the Senate. Two paragraphs of Bourne's
letter are devoted to the reasons the
United States Senator gives for op
posing Judge I-owrll as an aspirant
for the post In Congress. Bourne says
Judge Lowell 'was not a dead-line
fighter for Statement No. 1 and that
his voice was not raised In advocacy
of the Presidential preference bill.
Then. Bourne writes. Judge Lowell de
nounced assemblyism the day before
the primaries In the last campaign
and embraced it Immediately after.
Bourne closes by prom'slng to advocate
Judge Lowell's re-election if the Judge
defa-ats him and achieves as much In
Congress as Bourne.
Lowell (alia It Buaevaak.
-I received a copy of the letter on
the day it was published In a Portland
paper, said Judge Lowell. It Is about
what could be expected from the man,
and Is a mass of buncombe and pre
tense. Where, pray, are the local bene
fits which the state has secured from
his Ave years Senatorial Incumbency ?
We. In the great Interior. Interested- In
the subjects of forestry, administration
of the National reserves, public lands,
mining snd Irrigation, have searched In
vain. His record la more than a
blank. It Is one of neglect. Where Is
the impress of hla statesmanship In
Western Oregon? Our harbors still
await development. and soon the
Panama Canal will open, and commerce
Omand them. What appropriations
the state has received are those which
come to each state as a matter of
course, and would have come had
Washington never known Mr. Bourne.
"He has attained his committee as
signments not through merit, but
through the accident of death, retire
ment and defeat of mmy of the Im
portant figure In the Senatorial body.
The ancient rule cf senlorltr befriended
and lifted the gentleman to unexpected
places lie wilt lose the assignments
as suddenly as he attained them In the
event of a change In the political
ccrr.plexlon of the Senate. There Is a
' good deal of fol-de-rol about com
mittee assignments In any event. We
always hear that argument advanced
when a man Is a candidate for re
election, but when he has been defeated
the business of the country goes on
lust the same. The strong men con
trol, regardless of committee places
held by weak men.
Boara Regarded aa sasre.
I assume that hla alleged great
services to good government are com
prised In that so-called speech In which
Is told the story of the Oregon system
of government. There Is nothing else
known to the public on which he
could base the claim of Ms letter. But
among those who have hsd a part
In the civic and political life of Ore
gun for the past years, there la a
" u ell-grounded belief that small por
tion of the honor for that system Is
due to Mr. Bourne. If special credit
1 to go to any one. t belongs to i.
K. S. Vwl. Frank Williams and to
W: S. l"flen. Bourne has been a
sponge In the matter, rerer a fountain.
"When I read Ills boastful words, as
suming superiority over the distin
guished men who have represented the
commonwealth In the Federal Senate,
men like linker. Lane. Nesmith and
. Wll'lams. Blaine's famous rastlgatlon
of Conkllng came- to mind. It Is as
follows: 'As to the gentleman's cruel
. sarcasm. I hope he will not be too
severe. Tr.e contempt or that large

naughty disdain. his grandiloquent
swell, his majestic. super-eminent.
overpowering, turkey-gobbler strut has
been so crushing to myself, and ail
' the members of this House, that I
knew It was an act of the greatest
ttmerlty for me to venture upon a

"Befering then to a chance news
paper comparison of Mr. Conkling to
Jlt-nry Winter Davis, which he inter
preted satirically. Blaine continued:
"The gentlemen took It seriously,
and It baa given his strut additional
p-mpos;ty. The resemblance Is great.

Juncture are especially Interested.
end Is endeavoring to re-open a closed
br.ok. He would like again to assume
the role of author and finisher of
popular government, and would be
gratified If the public might forget. To
cloud the real Issues he Intimates
that I have not been lcyal to the move
ment, but none know better than he
that at a time when he was recognized
as the chief machine politician in Ore
gon. I was pleading upon the stump
and through the press for a direct pri
mary law and political decency, and
that before he awoke to the merits
of the Initiative and referendum. I. as
president of the State Bar Association,
delivered an address on that topic
which, as Mr. CRen later Informed
me. made the adoption of that con
stitutional amendment possible. Tt I
true that I originally regarded State
ment No. 1 as operative within party
lines, but when the people voted direct
ly upon the subject and Interoreted the
provision otherwise. I accepted their
construction, end my Influence has
been Invariably thrown to the main
tenance of the principle. He criticises
me for supporting the Republican
ticket at the last election, because,
lorsooth, be refused to do so. yet a
Indicate to most minds that he Is pre
paring to aupport the Democratic
ticket at the next election. He Inti
mates that he would not support me.
and Judging from IUs political past. I
doubt If he would support any man
who might defeat him.
"What the public especially desires
to know at this time Is whether or not
Mr. Bourne la a resident of Oregon. I
have diligently Inquired, and can lorata
no Bourne home within the state. I am
advtaed that he appears on the taxroll
of Multnomah County as the owner of
$ltit worth of personal property, and
nothing else. He has a wife. Where Is
his family home? Where are the
taxes on his great wealth paid? Is
Oregon being represented by a non
resident? In his biographical sketch ,
prepared lor ine congressional nirec
torr be says that he Is president of
I the Bourne Cotton Mills at Fall River.
Mass.. and presumably tbat Is the
property which, during the lata tariff
discussion when Bourne announced his
supreme faith In Aldrlch wisdom, the
newspapers asserted found protection
so profitable that It had paid dividends
aa high as per cent In a single
year.
Oregea Seldom Visited.
"Governor Chamberlain, and all other
men whom Oregon has sent to the Sen
ate, have been accustomed to return
to the state In vacation to mingle with
the people and to learn their needs.
Bourne has not deigned to do that.
Hither his aristocracy will not permit
It. or his Interests are elsewhere. He
was elected five years ago next month.
During that lime he has visited Ore
gon. I am creditably Informed, less
than once a year, and then for only a
few weeks at a time. I have known
the man for 1$ years, and have never
seen him In this section of the state.'
"Again there are thousands of new
voters In the state, some who have
come from other states and others who
have reached their majority In recent
years, who are entitled to know the
foi rotrsrdlnsr Mr. Bourne's connec
tion with tlie Legislative hold-up of
18T. The older residents are familiar
with It. and few of them are likely
to Indorse It. When a man seeks pub
lie office his puhllc career should be
analvzed and discussed that the elec
torate may vote Intelligently. Mr.
Bourne's letter Ignores the subject, put
some of his friends and political bene
F.claries. notably Frank Davey. re
ceiver of the Burns Land Office, are
criticising me for calling attention to
that episode In the Bourne history, as
serting that others were equally re
sponsible. Perhaps that may be true,
but those ofhers are not now candi
dates. When they are we will catechise
them. Bourne Is new on the stand.
"My own record la far from perfect,
but It Is open to Inspection and dis
cussion. I am ready to meet any op
ponent upon It. I Informed Mr. Bourne
that the fight on my part would be
In the open, with no blows below the
belt. I wanted him to meet me upon
the hustings before the people, but ap
parently a gum-shoe campaign suits
him best, and he Is entitled to it. 1

ARMED GUARDS IT Dill
POST FALLS SETTLERS ANGRY
AT POWER COMPANY.
Resident Declare That Compensa
tion Awarded for Damage- to
Land Is Too Small.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 1 J. (Special.)
The Washington Water Power Com
pany has placed armed guards at it
Post Falls dam and power station to
prevent Irate settlers tn that aectlon
from dynamiting the plant. These
armed men. estimated at about 50. are
specially employed to guard the prop
erty or the company. tay ana nignt
shifts are In force.
The guards carry riot guns. Ammu
nition In generous quantities has been
furnished them a:vd they have been sta
tioned at the points which might be
most easily attacked. Every avenue of
approach to the million-dollar plant la
under guard and the men have orders
not to allow anybody to pass without
proper credentials.
The cause for the apprehension of
company officials la that the settlers
above the dam are said to feel they
have not been awarded enough money
by the appraisers for the land which
they allege was damaged by the build
ing of the dam. Appraisers Saturday
allowed 1:4.000 to the settlers for the
overflowed land, which the settlers de
clare la worth twice as much.
After the appraisers handed down
their opinion In the matter Saturday
and allowed half of what the settlers
demanded, threats to dynamite the
plant, made some time ago, were re.
newed mlth such earnestness, asserts
Manager McCalla. that the Washington
Water Power Company rushed addition
al guards and supplies to the dam Sat
urday evening.

Witnesses Describe Peculiar Methods
of A. II. nd C. A. Moore,
Promoters.
SEATTLE. Dec. IS. Persons who had
Invested money in the Alaska Invest
ment & Development Company told a
Jury In the Federal Court today of the
methods employed to Induce them to
buy stock In the enterprise at the
trial of A. H. and C. A. Moore, pro
moters ofthe company, charged with
using the malls to defraud.
Mrs. A. M. Fachs. of Kansas Cityi
was the most Important witness In
troduced today by the Government.
Mrs. Fachs said that i.he bought $200
In stock In order to obtain employment
as a cook In the camp near Nome,
Alaska. She was promised a wage ol
15 a day.
She said that a Mr. Evans, who bore
letters of recommendation from the
Moores. urged her to sell her home to
buy more stock, bnt she refused. How
ever, she did mortgage the home to
obtain enough money to pay her way
to Seattle, whence she was to be trans
ported to Alaska by the company. Mrs.
Fachs said that when she was ready to
leave Kansas City In the Summer of
1910, she received a letter telling her
that because of the lateness of the
season it would be Inadvisable to o
to Alaska that year and advising her
to wait until the following Summer.
Letters demanding In settlement of her
claims against the Moores received
evasive replies, she said.
Midland H. Mclntyre. the Sl-year-old
son of Mrs. Fachs. corroborates
the testimony of his mother. He said
that he hud Invested flOO of his own
money In1 stock after being promised
work at 15 a day.
W. M. Russell, a railroad man, said
he paid 11000 for stock on promise of
co-partnership with Evans In the Kan
sas City agency of the company. He
was to receive $7S a month. The
Moores brought him to fort Town- i
PUBLIC SERVICE LAW OUT
Seattle Judges Hold Criminal Part
of Public Sen-Ice Act Invalid.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. II. (Special.)
Ruling on a demurrer In a criminal
case against employes of the Seattle.
Ronton ft Southern Railway, Judges
John y. Main and J. T. Ronald signed
a Joint decision today declaring the
criminal section of the public service
commission law to be unconstitutional.
The law may be Invoked by the com
mencement of a civil action for debt to
collect, but the $1000 fine or imprison
ment provided In the act may not be
Imposed by criminal proceedings, the
Jurists hold.
Five cases of employes of the rail
way for collecting a fare In excess of
i cents within the city limits were filed
In the Superior Court, one on appeal
from a Justice court, where conviction
was had. These cases involved Conduc
tors Windsor and Hartung and the
president of the company, W. R. Craw
ford. The court holds that the criminal
feature of the law ia not embraced In
the title of the act. and is therefore un
constitutional. The section decided
against provides that every employe
who violates the act shall be guilty of
a gross misdemeanor.
The effect of tlie decision is to re
lease from criminal prosecution the em
ployes who may break the law. The
provision making a corporation liable
to a maximum fine of $1000 for vio
lating the law or disobeying the orders
of the public service commission is not
affected by the decision.
