Larger Crops Destined. Only a person who has traveled across Oregon by automobile or team can gain a comprehensive knowledge of the extent of vacant acreage where there ls no definite knowledge as to what and how much the land will pro duce. The idea of the Developmen League is to obtain state aid In ascer tainlng and demonstrating what can be accomplished by settlers In such districts. The league and the various organizations that have heretofore in dorsed the movement also recognize the need for scientific instruction the established farming districts.

Cameron Statements Challenged. Characterizing the statement made public by Mr. Cameron recently, re garding the Governor's policies. In which he sharply attacked the chief executive as "very adroit, but very in direct," the Governor declared that he challenged Mr. Cameron to make any f his statements in a direct form in stead of by insinuation. 'If what he says in his statement is all true, it should be sufficient to cause me or any other official against whom such charges were brought to re ign. District Attorney Cameron has not receded from the attitude already taken that if any action is to be taken either In the appointment of deputies or in the inauguration of prosecutions. It must come through his office and that he will accept no deputy suggested by the Governor unless he ls first con sulted and decides the proposed deputy acceptable. West to Occupy Armory. The issuance of subpenas for the members of the Vice Commission to bring them before the grand jury. where they will be called upon to fill the blanks in their published report, was not made yesterday. Mr. Cameron says that it will be done this week, however, as soon as matters In his of- ce can be brought into condition so that he can turn his attention to the matter. The Governor will establish head quarters In Portland, probably at the Armory, and will remain in the city until the movement he has begun ls carried through. "If Cameron would get out and I could put Walter Evans in as District Attorney," he said, "I'd guarantee that within SO days there wouldn't be a cause for complaint about the situation In Portland."

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 26. A bill which passed both houses of Congress Saturday night, extending the time for the com pletion of the Alaska Northern Rail road, formerly the Alaska Central, to day was given the pocket veto by the President, and killed, because of the opposition of Secretary Fisher. This road, which was to extend from Seward inland for 72 miles, through the Mantanuska coal field, is the one which Fisher wishes to purchase if Congress authorizes the adoption of his plan for a Government railroad in Alaska. Failure of this bill to become law may seriously embarrass those building this railroad. Laborer Tries Suicide. EUGENE. Or., Aug. 26. (Special.)
