OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
Inrton. Jan. T. "If we can frankly
ad"pt and put Into fore laws which
will aSsolutety prevent mere exploita
tion, wa can Jar mora safely enact lib
eral lawa and regulation! in encourage
legitimate development." This obser
ratlon. occurring In the bd yof the
annual report of Walter L. Fisher. Per
retary of the Interior, sounds the key
note of his discussion of the publlc
!and problem, both a to laws and ad
mlstratlon. The report of Secretary Fisher shows
him to be a conservationist who be
lieves In development and use of our
natural resources; not one who would
tie np the West for future generations,
lie believes the present land laws are
in many Instances antiquated ad
should be repealed; he believes In the
leasing system, not only as to coal and
other non-metallic mineral lands, but
as to public grazing lands as well, and
he would retain In the Government the
title to water-power sites on the pub
lic domain, and would exercise Gov-
rnment supervision over water pow
ers on navigable streams, at tha same
time granting- to the states the right
to determine largely the terms and
renditions upon which water power
may be developed within their borders.
Mates Reerlve Beaeflta.
While he would have the receipts
from water power privileges turned
Into the Federal treasury, he would
have such funds expended for publlo
works In the states where the funds
originate.
Through and through, the report of
the Secretary presents a practical dis
cission of the public land and conser
vation questions. Some of his views
probably will meet the approval of Con
gress; other views will meet opposi
tion, but out of tt all some relief
should come, and will come If Congress
studies the report.
"The general theory upon which the
Government has proceeded and Is now
proceeding." says the Secretary, "Is that
the public doman should be utilized for
actual settlement and development
rather than as a source of revenue for
the getsrral Government. In my Judg
ment, this theory Is entirely correct.
The essential thing is to see that the
theory Is, In fact, carried Into efTect
and that under the guise of settlement
wa do not permit mere exploitation.
which In the last atralysis retards and
prevent both settlement and develop
ment." The Secretary then commends the
conservation movement as helping
along In this direction, saying the true
movement Is not In any way opposed
to prompt snd wise development of
the public domain, nor to lta Immedi
ate settlement by those who really In
tend In good faith to occupy and Im
prove It and not merely to acquire It
so that It may be turned over to the
actual settler after an unnecessary
profit has been paid to the middleman
and the promoter.
Frcsaotvr ' Oftea Selfish.
He admits there la a legitimate Aeld
for the promoter, but says there la no
disguising the fact that the promoter
and capitalist frequently seek and se
cure advantages to which they are not
Justly entitled Me adds:
I.rgc areas of the public land, great
quantities of timber and of mineral de
posits, extensive water powers are ea
gerly sought after, not for the pur
pose of immediate utilization and de
velopment, but so that they may be
held to await the aftergrowth of tha
country, to be then transferred to those
who will actually utilize them after
sn unearned Increment has been paid
to those nho acquired the property
from tha Government under Insufficient
lawa or lax administration.
"It Is this sort of exploitation which
hould be frankly and absolutely pre
vented and which. If prevented, would
enable us to remove many of the re
strictive provisions which now Irritate
and hamper the bona fide settler and
industrial pioneer. The man on the
grounds should be tha object of our so
licitude, and we should protect him
against those who would place upon
hi shoulders any unnecessary burden."
Secretary Fisher doea not advocate a
t!tree-year homestead law. such as that
proposed by Senator Borah, hut a five
ve.tr law which requires cultivation for
five years, but requires actual residence
on the land for only the last three
eara. He also would apply this char
acter of homestead law to lands on
Government Irrigation projects, giving
tlie settler title at tha end of flva
years. If he rueeta tha requirements of
the homestead act. but leaving a lien
on the land to cover all payments for
water which have not been met at the
time patent la lasued. This will place
the homestead entrynutn on nearly the
same footing a tha private land own
era whose land la brought under a Gov.
ernment project.
Dealrabte Settlers Aided.
"Many men who would make admir
able settlers and cltlzene of the West
ern States are prevented from acquiring
the homes and the substantial liveli
hood which would otherwise ha opened
to them." says the Secretary, adding:
"I see no reason whatever for Insisting
upon the requirement of actual resi
dence at the outset In such cases. Ac
tual residence, however, should be rlg
td'y required for a sufficient period to
make certain that the entryman wa a
real settler with the Intention of mak
ing Ms home upon the land. I believe
a residential requirement of three years
following the first two after entry
would protect the publlo Interest. In
sure the carrying out of the essential
purpose -of the law, and at the aame
time facilitate and encourage settle
ment and development. It would per
mit many men who sincerely desire to
acquire homes for themselves to enter
tracts of land, put them under cultiva
tion, and build homea without depriv
ing themselves of the meaoe of liveli
hood during the period w-hen the
ground would not support their fam
ilies. Clerks, mechanics, and small
farmers, aa well aa many others, would
be enabled to Invest their accumulated
savings In their future homes and to
continue In their present employment '
while rhev a ere preparing these homes
for future occupation. The requirement I
of progressive cultivation and three
years' residence would be an effective
ehotacle to the mere exploitation of the
publlo domain.'
Hpeaklng of graduation of paymer.te j
and Uui?ncy luaard oaily settlers vo
the Government projects, the Secretary
says: "We should aid the unfortunate
In every proper way, but merely senti
mental laxity with the shiftless and
incompetent can only work disaster to
the public at large and to the individ
ual aettlers whose Industry and ablljty
entitle them to substantial reward."
Discussing the homestead law gen
erally. Secretary Fisher aaya:
"Too much emphasis has heretofore
been put upon the maintenance of nom
inal residence for the full five years
and too little upon the continuous and
progressive cultivation of the land. No
land ahould be opened to homestead
entry except that which Is really suit
able for homes, and then the home
maker should be aided In every proper
may. Agricultural land should not be
classified aa timber land almply be
cause it haa on It some treea of sec
ondary Importance; but one of the
abuses of the homestead law haa beea
the entry under It of land chiefly val
uable for Its timber. The purpose haa
not been agricultural settlement, but
timber exploitation. This ahould no
longer be permitted. The Government
should dispose of the timber as timber
and should open the land to homestead
entry only after the timber has been
removed Where timber land will not
be adapted for future agricultural uaes.
but can be reforested. It should be re
tained by the Government for thla pur
pose. ReweaJ mt (oiuatitloi Advteed.
"The commutation lawa should be re
pealed. They have been largely utilized
In obtaining valuable timber land under
the guise of homestead entry.
"The timber and stone act should be
Immediately repealed, and also the act
authorizing the cutting of timber on
mineral lands. Those acts hold out a
constant Invitation to abuse and to
mere exploitation of the kind I have
described.
"The public range cannot be prop
erly administered under the e-xistlng
law. It should be leased for grazing
purpose under the broad administra
tive discretion of the Secretary of the
Interior, ao that the leases can be
adapted to actual conditions and the
legitimate Interests of the sheep and
cattle men. At present the range itself
Is being destroyed, and both sheep and
cattle men are coming more and more
to the conviction that their own inter
ests will be better subserved by a
leasing law. In fact, the enlarged ap
plication of the leasing principle to the
public domain generally will. In my
judgment, more effectively promote de
velopment and protect the public inter
est than the present system. Certainly
coal. oil. gas. asphalt, nitrate and
phosphate lands can be more appro
priately developed by leasehold than by
the present system of classification
and sale of the fee which prevails
with respect to coal. Many of the
Western states have recognized and
are acting upon this principle."
Secretary Fisher's discussion of
Alaskan questions is largely a repeti
tion of his speech before the Mining
Congress on September 27. He sum
marize his recommendations as fol
lows: "First. The construction by the Fed
eral Government of a" central trunk
line railroad from tidewater to the
Tanana and the Yukon.
"Second. The passage of a liberal
but carefully guarded leasing law for
the development of Us mineral re
sources, and especially of Its coal lands.
Third. The reservation of a sufficient
amount of these coal lands to provide
for the future needs of the Navy, and
the mining of this coal by the Govern
ment for this purpose,
"Fourth. More liberal appropriations
for aids to navigation, such as lights
and buoys.
"Fifth. More liberal appropriations
for the construction of roads and trails.
"Sixth. The adoption of a form or
territorial government better adapted
to Its remote situation and peculiar
local conditions."

uffered practically the loss of every
tree. Many of the treea were broken
off a few Inches above the ground,
under the great load of ice. Some of
the trees, planted later, had only their
tope broken down.
The Columbia Kiver Is filled with
large fields ot floating ice and the
Vancouver ferry is frozen in the Ice
below the dolphins. The Jessie Har
klns. a smaller craft, waa substituted
to carry passengers, so there has been
no means of transporting rigs or auto
mobiles across the river for more than
a day. At 1 o'clock tonight the cara
running from Portland to Hayden
Island were cut one-half, a train going
every other trip. It seems as If the
river will become solid mass of ice
and all traffic stopped. There Is no
telephone or telegraph service out of
the city.
Hundreds of the most beautiful trees
In the city today were without their
tops. Trees that stood the "silver
thaw" of 1907 today suffered severely.
The aun shone for a time, but melted
only a small portion of the Ice. With
night, the temperature again dropped.
One 14 gauge telephone wire sus
tained the weight of Ice one and one
quarter Inches in diameter.
The electric lights were turned on
again at tonight, and the street
cars operated two houra today. The
Washington-Oregon Corporation, which
controls the water atinply. resorted to
steam and gasoline engines to pump
water, until the current waa restored.

frozen together. Tnere were but few
telephone pole standing, the majority
being; stretched out across the street,
with the hundreds of wires broken and
dangled. Many poles fell upon houses,
caualng more or less damage.
The Irvlngton district wa another
scene of destruction. On every street
the trees were broken and bent down
to the sidewalk. Hundreda of young
shade trees were ruined by being either
snapped off at the base of the trunk,
shorn of all the branches or being bent
over so that the upper limbs ' touched
the ground. There were but few tele
phone pole still standing. From almost
every house the broken telephone and
electric light wires dangled.
Debris Bloek Kant Alder.
Kast Alder street was completely
blocked with the mass of debris. The
huge poles which carried hundreds of
stands of telephone wires connecting
telephones in the outlying districts
were prostrate. Many of them were
broken off at the base while others
were torn out of their holes by the
mighty strain of Ice laden wire .
Sell wood, streets were strewn with
trees and wires. Vast damage was
done in the Alblna district, at Mount
Scott and near Mount Tabor. Long
rows of stately pines and firs In Mount
Tabor park were shorn of their
branches.
Costly trees and other foliage about
beautiful homes on Belmont street
were virtually destroyed. In Laud's
Addition many young trees were de
stroyed. Heights Suffers Heavily.
On the West Side the damage was
genera In the residence districts. Port
land Heights, which 'at many points is
noted for its beautiful trees and foli
age, whs devastated. The streets were
strewn with the shapely branches of
trees which had been carefully pruned
and cared for for years past.
In South Portland the damage was
not so great. Hunureds of trees were
ruined, but the telephone wires were
not pulled down.
The cemeteries suffered great loss.
Rlvervlew, In the Fulton district, which
Is noted for its natural beauties, re
ceived great damage. Pines and firs
fell and ornamental shrubbery and
small trees were broken off at the
roots. Many others were weighted over
by the Ice to such an extent that they
will live,
ffaddea Freeze Causes Damage.
The main part of the destruction
came Sunday morning about 4 o'clock,
when a heavy wind storm Bet In fol
lowing a quick drop in temperature.
The trees were covered with the soft
ice, which, when the mercury dropped,
froze solid. The wind swayed the
limbs back and forth and the entire
city resounded with the snapping and
cracking as the ice and trees and
branches collapsed to the sidewalks
and streets.
Yesterday the temperature waa be
low the freezing point, the maximum
being 30 degrees at 4 o'clock. Fol
lowing that a cold north wind dragged
the temperature rapidly down to 26
degrees and left the trees encased In
hard, brittle cakes of ice, which would
cause much breakage in case of a
high wind.
Dozens of workmen were out with
axes cutting pathways through some
of the streets on the Last Side. In
some places the brush and debris was
so thick that passage was impossible
even in the car tracks. Hundreds of
wagon loads of brush was hauled
away.
Mall Boxes Krosea.
Postmen had great difficulty in the
collection of mall because of the
frozen boxes. In nearly every district
it was necessary to beat the Ice rom
off the locks with clubs and to melt
the Ice from the keyholea of the locks.
The fire alarm systems which went
out almost simultaneously all over the
Kast Side, was restored yesterday af
ternoon In all the dlstrlcta excepting
Sellwood and Alblna.
At the City Park much damage was
done. Large limbs of trees were broken
off and shrubbery was mashed to the
ground. Park Superintendent Mlsche
says it will be Impossible to determine
the extent of the damage there until
the ice me-lts off and the condition of
the plants and foliage Is seen. It Is
thought many pretty plants will wilt
and die as a result of the "thaw."
Row Buakea nit Hard.
Rose bushes have been hit hard by
the storm and it Is said there is a like
lihood of a rose shortage in some sec
tions In the Spring. The longer trunks
of the bushes have been crushed to the
ground and smaller branches have been
broken off. Whether or not the ex
treme bending of the main stalks will
cause the shrubs to die Is uncertain.
The telephone and light companies
have hundreda of men In the field mak
ing repairs. This work was extremely
difficult yesterday because of the cold
and the Inability of the workmen to
knock the ice from the wires.
TELEGRAPH LINES REPAIRED
Western fnioit and Postal Gradually
Pnt Hire tn Order.
Telegraph companies began early
vesterday morning recovering the wires
that had been lost in the height of the
storm Saturday and last night the serv
ice oct of the city over both the West
ern Union and the Postal. Telegraph
was greatly improved.
The Western Union Company suffered
most heavily. Its wires soutn and east
had been lost by o'clock Saturday
right. Later the Seattle wire was lost
for a time, leaving them practically
cut off from the outside world.. This
wire was recovered later, however. In
the time when the wires were out. it I
estimated that the company lost about
$on in revenues.
The greatest damage to the line oc
curred between Clackamas and Oregon
City, where telephone and telegraph,
mires for nearly two miles were csl
down In a hopeless tangle. Another
slignt bream occurred near vim
barns In South Portland on the East
Side.

been temporarily repaired and the sys
tem was on a fairly good working
basis. Superintendent Robb estimated
the property loss at about-$5000, al
though he said later that It might ex
ceed those figures.
The Postal Telegraph Company was
at no time utterly cut off from other
cities. The wire to Seattle was lost
Saturday afternoon and wa not recov
ered until after 8 o'clock that night.
Sunday afternoon the company had two
, wires working into seame. uuu

was maintained over the Oregon Elec
tric wire, however. Loss in property
from poles, wires and equipment cast
down in the storm Is estimated at
$2000.
The offices In Portland were work
ing comparatively well last night and
ia this evening it Is thought that the
damage can be fully repaired.
GAME SUFFERS IN SNOW
RANCHERS ASKED TO FEED
WILD BEASTS AJD BIRDS.
Sportsmen Fear Qnall and Pheas
ants Will Be Killed by lor
Blanket If Not Aided.
Oregon's game preserves will be ter
ribly devastated by starvation, aa a
result of the heavy snow and sleet, un
less the ranchers take pity on the
feathered denizens oi tne air and pro
vide temporary free lunches. This is
the view of many of Portland's most
ardent hunters who have taken pains
to notify all ranchers within reach. In
addition to residents of the suburbs.
Reports from all sections In the
storm zone indicate that quail are hud
dled under fir and cedar trees unable
to get food, while the thousands of
pheasants find themselves not only
short of provender, but with tail plum
age weighted down with balla of sleet
and ice. The suffering among tne weo
footed fowl is not so Intense, although
ducks and geese are forced to make
abiding places of the rivers and creeks
owing to the icy covering on tne ponas
and lakes.
Returning hunters from t..c Sauvles
Island district, west of the city be
tween the Columbia River and the Wil
lamette Slough, report King -Winter
very much in evidence and very little
shooting as a result.
"Members of our party bagged six
geese, but there wasn't a duck in the
neighborhood," declared Oliver js..
Jeffery, who. with Ivan Humason and
Roscoe Fawcett, hunted at the Lums
den farm. 16 miles from the city, on
Sauvles Island. "The birds will have
pretty hard sledding unless this snow
disappears within a day or two.
The watchman there was instructed
to scatter wheat wherever he went
until the snow and Ice melt away.
"I talked with a rancher named
Parker, coming in on the train." said
Mr. Humason. "Parker tells me an en
tire covey of quail sought shelter and
succor on his front porch Saturday
evening. The pheasants are the worst
sufferers, for the snow and tee crust
prevents them from getting down at
the grub. Hundreds or them win proD
ablv succumb to the storm."
Next Saturday and Sunday, weather
being good, wlil see an exodus of
hunters from the city, as that will be
the last chance at ducit hunting. The
season closes on January 15 and opens
again on September 1. Geese will be
protected from February 1 to Septem
ber 1. while the China pheasants have
another year of respite from gun
powder. TREATY MOVE PLEASES

Joseph Conn Says Misunderstanding
Has Prejudiced People of Race
Apainst Christianity.
"God bless America for having taken
the stand she haa in breaking the Rus
sian treaty." said Joseph Cohn at the
White Temple yesterday, in his address,
in which he told of his father's con
version. "Turn to that monster, Russia, he
said. "You know without my saying a
word what they are doing in Russia
today. The treaty was abrogated none
too soon, and in the meantime the Jew
in Russia is being tortured beyond be
lief. We cannot understand in this
20th century how It can be permitted
to go on. Read your histories. Vou
know of the terrible massacres at
Klchenoff. when the soldiers dragged
the poor Jews from cellars, where they
had fled to hide themselves, and how
the soldiers poured petroleum over
them and burned them alive, singing
praises to God that they had had the
chance to help kill the Jews. Today
the Jew's last breath Is a curse upon
the blessed Christ. The Jew hates the
sight of a cross.
"God pity the Catholic Church. The
Catholic Church In America didn't do
it. The Catholio Church in Europe did
it- But how is the Jew in America to
know that? How is he to distinguish
between false and true Christianity?
The Jew raises his face to God, and
cries. 'O. God, give me strength so I
can wreak vengeance on the accursed
Christians.' If I were a Jew In Russia
I would accept Mohammedanism before
I would accept the Russian kind of
Christianity.
"When my father wa 7 years old
both his parents died. He lived In
Austria-Hungary. He decided to be

The Talmud forbids study of the

In the Talmud which led him to be

to learu more of him through the Tal

struck with the prophecy of .the 53d

It is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for
the coming of her little one; to avoid
as far as possible the suffering of
such occasions, and endeavor to
pass through the crisis with her
health and Btrength unimpaired.
This she may do through the use
of Mother's Friend, a remedy that
has been so long in use, and accom
plished so much good, that it is in
no sense an experiment, but a prep
aration which always produces the
best results. It is for external ap
plication and so penetrating in its
nature as to thoroughly lubricate
every muscle, nerve and tendon
involved during the period before
baby comes. It aids nature by
expanding the skin and tissues, re
lieves tenderness and soreness, and
perfectly prepares the system for
natural and safe motherhood.
Mother's Friend has been used and
endorsed by thousands of mothers,
and its use will prove a comfort
and a benefit to any woman in
need of such a remedy. Mother's
