At the close of business yesterday Mr. Wllley had received an even hundred letters from patrona of the Equitable Company alone, telling of payments on loans that had not been made.

Mr. Wllley'a mail hears testimony that thousands of dollars have been paid by farmers and others In many states on loan contracts that brought no return.

A petition addressed to the County Court is being numerously signed, ask ing that a private thoroughfare, known as the Wilkes road, be made a county road by due process of law. The road has been, in use for nearly 30 years, but is not improved, although a part of the Cleone rural free deliv ery route, and Is the only road lead ing to the public school in District No. 7. The action to have the road made public property Is caused by the fact that tl.e school district wants to build a new school houan. The present build in); is old and almost beyond the days of its usefulness. The district owns an acre of land, which Is the most cen tral and convenient, but the school law frowna upon the erection of a new building unless It Is on a public road, hence the eagerness of the people to have it designated as a public thor oughfare. The matter will come before 'the court on May S. when a large Relega tion will be on hand to explain the matter with strong hopes of success In their undertaking.

'4 fiOBSOtlS OF JAPAN SAY NAVY 15 WEAK Jingoes Would Add 500,000 Tons to Sea Strength at Army's Expense. HOPE OF LEADING GONE Bai of 70 Per Cent or Foreign Rival Taken. Which Would Need Addition of 58,000,000 Yen to Appropriation. by p. BiXK-wrra davis. TOKIO, April 7. Peace la the last thing thought of by a certain group of Japanese statesmen, who remind one from the United Statea of Rich mond P. Hobeon when he raised his voice In Congress crying for a greater Navy to repel th Oriental Invasion that he saw In his mind's eye. Representa tives of this coterie of agitators are found In every center and their cry la tnat Japan Is not ready for war al though no war la Impending. The great maas of people, high and low. In Japan is for peace, and the greatest statesmen have no desire to plunge the ration again In war with any coun try. East or West. The truth In the cry of the Japanese Jingoes is that the Mikado's navy is not relatively aa strong as it waa up to and after the Russo-Japanese war. After the war with China 45 per cent of the nation's revenues were appro priated toward the development of the army and navy, more than half being expended on the navy. Naval Pnsltloa Weakened. Because of this, the navy waa vapid ly developed and at a bound -forged ahead of the navies of tjie United States and Germany. It was out-classed only by England, France and Russia. The carryfng out of this programme enabled the Japanese to win signal victories in the war with Russia. A prominent member of the minority that is urging upon the country a much more liberal policy for national defense has recently outlined some of their arguments. He said: "Seven years have elapsed since our victories over Russia and since we showed the world that Japan Is a na tion to be reckoned with. But after these seven years we find our position among the naval powers far In the rear. The United States and Germany, once Inferior, are now more than twice as strong as we. and there is a proba bility that by 1020 rhey will be five times aa strong. No matter how clever and determined our officers and men may be. with such odds against them it would be Impossible for them to gain a victory. Without discounting the Im portance of strategy and courage, it would be hopeless to engage an enemy without a navy possessing 70 per cent of the' strength of the one engaged. "The ideal navy for our country's defense would be three squadrons of the newest and most powerful type and like number of squadrons of the bat tleship cruiser class, with some in re serve. Rut since this Is proposing what we would have and have no prospect of getting, we should take as a standard either the United States or Germany and build and equip a navy equalling 70 per rent of the one taken aa a stand ard. Reducing this to figures, there should be two squadrons, each com posed of eight battleships and four bat tleship cruisers. The carrying out of this programme calls for an outlay of 5S, 000.000 yen annually to be added to the present naval appropriation. ' Army Sacrifice Suggested. "Our army consists of 1 divisions, but when first and second reserves are added the strength Is more than 40 di visions. Should this force be put in the field one year in Manchuria, the total expense would be 2,000,000 yen at the lowest estimate. During the war with Russia a little more than 400,000 soldiers were kept In the fight, the expense of which waa 1,300.000,000 yen for 12 months. The tonnage of our navy at that time waa about 300, 000, but the total expense on this head from the beginning to the end of the war, waa 230.000,000 . yen. We could easily use a navy of 1.000,000 tons at the comparatively small expense of 1, 000,000.000 yen. whereas our whole army could not be equipped and sent to the front for less than the enormous sum of 3,000,000,000 yen. An army of 400,000 and a navy of 1.000,000 tons would be the proper proportions. This could be accomplished by re ducing the army by half and adding S00.000 .tops to our navy." WILSON PAPERS STOLEN BURGLARS RANSACK ROOM OP CANDIDATE IX CHICAGO. Fact That Other Valuable Property Was Untouched Show Activity of Political Foea. CHICAGO. April 7. (Special.)

Registration Shows Republican En rollment Strong With Democrats Leading in Three Counties. CORVALLIS, Or April 7. (Special.) Of the 1647 voters now registered in Benton County, only nine were unable to write their names and of these three were prevented by falling eyaight and not Illiteracy. The Republican enroll ment totals 97S. Democratic 642, and other parties and Independents 129. The Democrats have a majority in three of the 17 precincts. If, as Is expected, a heavy primary vote is polled. Taft probably will have a clear majority of about too. with Roosevelt in second place. La Follette does not speak In this county, but many Benton voters will go to Albany to hear him, and It is possible that his Oregon tour will result In putting Roosevelt in third place here. Most of the new support he develops will be at the expense of the ex-President. A conservative estimate gives Sell ing a plurality of 150 over Bourne in this county. Bourne nas undoubtedly lost ground locally by the kind of plea for re-election he makes In the candi dates' pamphlet issued bj- the state. His statement that his nomination and election will be the test of the intelli gence of Oregon citizenship and his ex planation that his efficiency as a Sen ator was acquired by the expenditure of several times $50,000, have been the subjects of general adverse comment. Clark will apparently lead In the Democratic primaries in Benton. Har mon has many admirers In the party, but most of them will vote for the Mis souri man. Walter Pierce, for the Dem ocratic Senatorial nomination, will re ceive most of the votes of Corvallis Democrats and probably of the entire county.
