TIIE MORXTG OREGONIATT. TUESDAY, MAY 2, t9IC. 5 INTEREST PATRIOTIC, COLONEL DECLARES T. R. Insists Politics Does Not Sway Him in His Work for Preparedness. FUSION CANDIDATE ADVISED Mr. Koosevelt Says Delegates Ouglit Not to Nominate Him Unless They Are Prepared to Make ' Fight for Defense. and adjacent streams. The deal was1 with the "Wallowa Timber Company, of Pennsylvania. If the proper co-operation is offered by city officials and the people of Baker in the matter of vacating streets, cutting- through the lumber company s holdings in tooutn Baker and in the adjustment of freignt rates, Mr. Gardinier declared that a sawmill having an output of 300,000 feet per day would be built here. "We have an offer from a certain railroad company for assistance in an other direction, and a 9-day option on a tract of timber even larger than the one just purchased," . said Mr. Gar dinier today, "and if we cannot obtain what we desire we will be compelled through necessity to build a mill at Dutkee. This means that we may, or may not. continue operating as we are at present in Baker, but It doe mean that the -increase on large opera tions will be carried on in Durkee In stead of Baker or elsewhere. "We have within our boundaries. practically controlled by us, something like 200,000,000 more reet of timber, which will be milled by the same cor poration, as well as other timber which we will have an equal opportunity to buy, but even with our present hold ings we have a 30-year run, if we do not buy any more than what we now own. ' NEW YORK, May 1. Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt, on his return here from Chicago, issued a statement expressing gratification with the reception of his views on "preparedness. National duty end Americanism" in the Middle West. Mr. Roosevelt declared he is not inter ested in the political fortunes of him self and others, and, after outlining the principles advocated in recent speeches, said: "It cannot be said too often that this 1b a time of crisis in the Nation's ca reer. We are now laying down the foundation and the controlling lines of a new era in our history. Everything I can do will be done to see that the people West and East realize the facts and act accordingly. ame Withdrawn From Ballot. 4'By no act of mine, ty no word of mine, has this grave question been in volved in factional politics. In- every .state in which the law governs such matters I have promptly withdrawn my name from all factional struggles. In a cable message from Trinidad on !March 9 last I requested and insisted that my friends in Massachusetts re frain from such contest and I would have invoked the Uw there as I did in other states if there had been such a law. In that statement I also said that I was not interested in the political fortunes either of myself or others, and I have resolutely stuck to that deter mination. I have not expressed and do not intend to express myself as be ing for or against any man. "As regards myself, I do not believe that the delegates ought to nominate me at Chicago unless they are prepared wholeheartedly and without reserve to make the fight along the lines above outlined. I am fighting for certain great and vital principles. Work Patriotic, ot Political. "Those who take their stand in such a. matter because or factional or per sonal prejudices are either lacking in patriotism or else are blind to the tre mendous forces at work the world over, In the- midst of a tragedy without parallel in the world's vision the work to be done is not that of the poli tician but of the patriot. "For that reason I most earnestly nape that the delegates who go to Chi cago will nominate some man on whom Republicans and Progressives can com bine, and who, moreover, can be heart ily supported by all independent citi zens and particularly by all independent Democrats who are loyal to the Na tionalism of Andrew Jackson and who are prepared to put the vital honor and interest of this Nation above all mere partisan Considerations. I hope they will choose a man upon whom all. can unite and who, if elected, we can be absolutely certain will put the prin ciples above set forth into actual effect In the government of the country.' JITNEYS EVADING LAW MOTORS OPERATK IN SPITB OREGON CITY REGULATION. OF Sisns Are Hauled Down at Limits of City and Fares Collected Be fore Cars Cross Bridge OREGON , CITY, Or.. May 1. (Spe cial.) In theory there are no jitneys running between Portland and Ore gon City, but in practice automobiles carry persons between the two cities for 2o cents. This is possible in spite ol the rigid Jitney ordinance passed by the Oregon City Council and upheld by the Supreme Court. At First street, near Alder street, in Portland, one can find at almost any hour of the day an automobile bearing the sign Oregon City Road to West Linn." The most prominent letters on the sign spell out the name of Oregon City. The driver will knowingly explain that he runs to West Linn, but may cross the river. At West Linn he pauses to collect his fare and pull down his jitney sign. You move toward the door, as if to alight. "Stay in the car," the jitneyman advises. "I have to go across the bridge anyway, and I won't charge for the ride," and the chances are 10 to one that you will stay In. Collecting passengers for the ride to Portland is somewhat different. The jitney driver finds a party to make the trip and asks them to walk to the suspension bridge, where he picks them up and takes them to Portland.

Conditions n Northern Area of Deitert Rapidly Resuming Xoraal Ger man Wireless Is Discovered. LOXDOX, May 1. An unoficial re port given out this afternoon says con ditions are rapidly returning to normal in the northern area of the desert in Western Egypt. Small patrols, usually in armored cars, continue to hunt for and destroy hidden stores, and since the reoccupation of Solium, on the Mediterranean -near the border of Tripoli, more than 250,000 rounds of ammunition has been discovered. Two sets of German wirelese were discovered hidden in the desert. Moghara has been occupied to strengthen the cordon around the trou bled district. The British are harass ing their foes at Dakhla and are able to detect every movement of their enemy . in the neighborhood of this oasis.

GRANT BILL TO RETURN HOI SK COMMITTEE TO REPORT OX MKAS1RE TODAY. ' D ' o ! i n U O Chalrmaa Ffrrln 111 Attempt to Get Special Kale Through to Has tea Conalderatloo. OREGOXIAV NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 1. The House public lands committee expects tomorrow to report formally the land-grant bill to the House of Representatives In the form last agreed on by the committee. A rough draft of the report was consid ered by the committee today. Chairman Ferris, once the bill is be fore the House, will make every effort to bring it to early 'consideration. He first will ask the Speaker to determine whether or not it is a privileged meas ure. If it is held to be without privi lege, Mr. Ferris will ask the committee on rules to report a special rule giving the bill a preferable status subject only to the priority of appropriation bills and Administration measures. Up to the present time no move what ever has been made to spring the Chamberlaia bill before the Senate pub lic lands committee, although the com mittee has several times offered to take It up whenever Senator Chamberlain de sires. Senator Chamberlain evidently plans to wait till the House passes its bill and then to have the House bill considered with his bill by the Senate committee. 0goS Fr For the Best Slogan The GREATER PORTLAND ASSOCIATION wants a snappy, trite, expressive slogan.
