BT ADDISON BENNETT.
GARDINER, Douglas County, Oregon,
Oct. 3. Staff Correspondence). Leav
ing Mapleton in one of the launches
belonging to the engineering depart
ment of the new railroad line, having
ent the photographer and team, with
Its driver, down to Glenada on the lit
tle steamer Beaver, which piles
regularly between the mouth of the
Hiu.ilaw and the head of navigation at
Mapleton. a distance of something like
20 miles by river. I had a fine oppor
tunity to follow by eye the line of the
Jiew road.
First let me say that the Beaver did
not absolutely transport the team and
wagon, for there Is no room on the
tine little boat for carrying rigs or
live stock. They were loaded on a
barge which the Beaver towed. The
fare down to Acme, Glenada or Flor
ence Is 50 cents for a passenger and
5 for team and buggy.
The Sluslaw is a beautiful stream.
It was narrow where we first came to
It at the confluence of it and Wild
Cat Creek, but it widened out and
deepened as small creeks do and the
flow of water from the mountain sides
entered below there; so when we
reached a point about two miles east
of Mapleton It had broadened perhaps
60 yards. At that point there Is a
rapids, and the high tides reach these:
a few hundred yards further down we
came to the real head of tidewater,
and Mapleton is Just around the bend
below.
River Is BeantlfuL
If the river is beautiful above this
town I do not know what adjective to
use to describe it Deiow. i gueji i
will have to fall back upon my oft
repeated remark about the wealth of
Oregon in her rivers rivers entirely
and unequivocally her own and say
that no other state can come anywhere
near approaching us.
1 am now pretty well acquainted
with every Oregon stream, save the
Yaqulna. I could sit here and write
knowingly of ever one of them save
those In Lincoln County. And when I
consider them from the Willamette
np to the Deschutes, up that stream to
the Crooked, then the John Day and
the Umatilla, on to the Wallowa, to
the Malheur, the Blltxen. the Chewau
can, the Klamath, the Rogue, Coquille,
Coos. Umpqua and the Sluslaw, then
those I know north of here to the
mouth of the Columbia well, I feel
like putting my bragging clothes on
and saying that Oregon as to rivers
her very own saying nothing about
her part ownership in the mighty Co
lumbia and the mountain climbing
Snake never seems to appreciate the
magnitude of her water courses. I
mean of course the people of Oregon
and not the state.
A day or two ago passing down the
Sluslaw and having the right of way
of the Wlllamette-Paclflo pointed out
-to me, I could but think that when this
new road gets to running its trains
over this section and the tourists and
others on pleasure or business bent
ride along the northern bank of this
stream for the first time they will say
it is one of the most beautiful streams
in the world.
Wood Are Attractive.
They surely will If they make the
trip at this time of the year when
the woods are aflame in their Fall
raiment of leaves in almost every
bright and somber hue of the rainbow,
when the hills are mirrored in the
dark waters of the stream showing
trees that seem to be towering but
silent sentinels of nature herself.
Remember this stream is navigable
for vessels drawing from 10 to 15 feet
of water. Remember that back for
miles and miles on each side in every
direction the timber is as heavy as
that you view along the river bulks,
and then you will get an idea of a
small portion of our timber wealth,
and one of the causes of the railroad.
Yonder goes a fish launch. It has
been tip tortapleton, a few miles above,
for its daily burden of salmon. It is
loaded down to a depth of several
feet with steelheads, Chinook and
silver sides, and is taking on more
at almost every opening In the timber
large enough for a house to stand, a
borne of some farmer-fisherman or
fisherman-farmer. Just as you choose.
Here is one of the clan loading on
his catch. He spread his net last night.
It took hhn a whole hour. It took him
a whole hour to take It up, care for
his catch and put the net on the rack
Ar 1 nrl h A fttll? eot f OU T fish!
Just think of it. "only" four fish for
two hour's labor! Four Chinook
weighing a little more ihan 250 pounds,
nH h rot "onlv" five cents a pound
for them! Twelve dollars and fifty
cents for his strenuous labor! Is it
not a measly shame that a hard "work
ing man cannot do better than that?

"What is the reason your section

then pass through the nms straigni
south. Acme is quite a town. There
in rcrp cAnnerv. a creamery and a
sawmill in constant operation. There
are several large business houses, a
hotel and such other establishments as
one usually finds in a little town of
two or three hundred people. It Is a
cleanly looking place, with a number
of nice looking residences most of
them being painted white. There are
good wharves and everything betokens
the town cannot be much above the,
high tides that come occasionally, out
the dwellings are on high and sightly
land back.
Farms Line River Banks.
Acme is what might be called the
Sluslaw Bay, for here the river widens
out forming a body of water perhaps
a mile and a half square. I forgot to
say that the North Fork of the Sluslaw
flows Into the bay Just -at Acme. I

Across the bay, on its west side, on
a Dtraiph nt htfrh lnnd between' the bay
and the ocean, and on-the north side
of the channel flowing from the bay
to the sea, is the town oi t iorence, me
largest town on the Siuslaw. Here is
also a large cannery, a told storage
plant, a creamery and a large sawmill.
This Is a lovely little town on high and
sightly land. It is only four miles out
v ha iitv at thA mouth of the chan
nel, or river, if the term suits better.
Anyhow, I mean the outlet or tne oay
into the sea. Being four miles from
k,,ih lvlni behind a range of
hills, the bay and town are well pro
tected from storms ana tne oay gives
safe harbor for vessels in stormy
weather.
I had heard so much about the Slus

was to be spent, and I knew that there
.o. n Tnl-t of Sluslaw. which was en-
.deavoring to get deeper water over the
bar, working in conjunction witn me
Government.
There are about 12 feet of water on
the bar. This can be deepened to zo
feet by the expenditure of about $645.-
000, say the Government engineers.
The Fort of Sluslaw has Deen Donaeo
for $430,000 and the Government has
appropriated $215,000 and the. work will
be done as soon as it can be accom

Disappointed.
SOUTHERN TRIP IS FROST
On Kvery Side Campaigner Is Greet

and Lire Is Made Most
Miserable, He Says.
Dr H W. Coo, who returned yester
day from a Roosevelt Progressive tour
of Southern Oregon, came home bitter
ly disappointed. He could not secure
what he wanted, and he could not get
away from evidence of a campaign run
by other people that was pre-eminent
above all others. It was the suffragist
forces in nil parts, said Dr. Coe, that
held the whip hand over all the politi
cal parties when it came down to
speeches, to halls, to organization, in
fact to everything but campaign funds.
"I went down to the southern border,
and visited Ashland, Medford, Grants
Pass and other points. In every one
the activity of the suffragists was the
striking feature of the place. I tried to
secure a hall, and I was told it was
taken for suffrage. I turned away, and
found suffragist meetings on the
streets, and then I entered my hotel.
"Some women came to me and asked
my opinion on suffrage. Seeing that

told them that the matter was one upon
which I was undecided ana to wnicu x

"I tried to secure a itooseveu re
gressive speaker in one of the towns,
and found he was engaged to make a
suffrage debate.
"Then, seeing that it was about time
to eat, I turned off into a small res
taurant. There, at any rate, I thought,
nti,. inH aiiffmi?A would not be con

took my seat. Just as i was oquui. w

and Jonathan B ourne
I make an appeal to all who favor an attack on that form of
special privilege known as protection, to vote for Dr. Lane and
especially against Senator Bourne, for the following reasons:
One of the defects of our system of government is that we make
a platform, elect a President on that platform and then oppose
him with a Senate or Lower House which is absolutely opposed
to him and the platform on which he was elected. In other
words, we declare against monopoly-breeding protection and
elect Wilson. - Then we select Mr. Bourne to help oppose Mr.
Wilson jn the Senate. Of course, all the other Senatorial can
didates, except Dr. Lane, are also protectionists, and these re
marks apply to them as welL But I have selected Mr. Bourne
because he is claiming that, having been in the Senate, he will
be peculiarly valuable to Oregon. He was an Aldrich protection
ist in the Senate, and so voted uniformly. For that reason he is
the last man for anti-protectionists to return to that body. If
Governor Marshall is President of the Senate, Mr. Bourne's bar
rel influence will not be so strong as that of a Democrat.
I personally have another objection to Senator Bourne. He
has attained great celebrity as the champion of the Oregon Sys
tem, but the first time the Oregon System is not to his wish he
destroys it. No man can enter a direct primary and then refuse
to abide by the decision, without destroying it. All the sophis
try in the world will not alter the fact. Lei the petitioners
petition all they pease, the man who has submitted himself to
tho direct primary has no right to make it a farce by shouting
for it if he wins, and running again if he loses. Is Mr. Bourne
or the direct primary more dear to Ocegonianst If the direct
primary can so easily be kicked to the rubbish-heap, the next will
be Statement No. 1 when it does not happen to suit some future
Mr. Bourne. -
