I.. K. Bean of Eugene and Hugh
McClain of Marshfield were the prin
cipal speakers in the morning ses
sion. Both speakers pointed out
the present policy in vogue at Wash
ington. U. C, in which appropriations
for port development in the west
were frowned upon unless the port
in question was prepared to match
the federal appropriation with the
same amount from local sources.
Mr. Bean was emphatic in his state
ment that this was a policy of dis
crimination against western interests,
Mnce millions were being expended
by the federal government in Atlan
ta seaports without a single dollar
being expended by the individual
ports.
After the morning session the dele
gates were taken to Municipal ter
minal No. 4. on board the river boat

The declaration of policies and pur
poses of the congres-vs adopted unani
mously in the afternoon session was
as follows:
The Northwest Rivers and Harbors con
grefn. In this, its first convention as
KMnblrfl. representing by properly arced
ited delecates the entire Pacific Northwest
territory of the United States, comprising
the Mates of Oregon. Washington, Idaho
nil Montana, anil California, hereby makes
the following declaration of its .policies
nd purposes:
Kirt Its efforts shall be exerted to
promote the improvement and use of all
the Inland and roa.it waterways, of the
I nlted states in general, and (be above
named Pacific northwest states In par
ticular. tor transportation purposes In
cnni-nnanee with the National Rivers' and
Harbors concress. it will advocate and
support the policy of general waterway
Improvement by the general government
throughout the United States. in ac
cordance with its motto: "A policy, not a
protect." at the same time reserving the
right to especially advocate and assist in
promoting the Improvement of all meri
torious proj.-cts within the territory repre
sented by its membership in preference to
ot hers.
Second It believes n and urges the na
tional congress to adopt the pulicv of mak
ing annual appropriations for "river and
harbor improvtment. and of furthering the
completion of all plans approved by the
mted States corps of engineers, when
such approvals have been adopted bv con
greys, by the continuing contract method,
wherever practicable, as the best means
cf securing that economy, efficiency and
speed in the prosecution of government
work which obtains in the carrying on of
private enterprises.
Third We strenuously urge congress to
make regular appropriations for river and
harbor improvement, of not less than
. ,0.0011.(100 annually, to be apportioned in
accordance with the importance of the
projects undertak.n and the recommenda
t.ons of the engineering department.
Fourth We heartily approve the policy
of congress in especially favoring those
municipalities which have shown their
lonfidence in their own projects bv taxing
themselves for the purpose of furthering
and maintaining their improvements, and
recommend ujiat some sort of a bonus sys
tem be worked out wherebv such com
munities may receive additional substan
tial benefits in proportion to their import
ance, by reason of having materially con
tributed to the prosecution of their local
enterprise.
Kifth We heartily approve, and demand
the complete enforcement of, the provi
sions of the Panama canal act of 1912
relating to the separate ownership and
operation of rail and water lines; for
co-operation between rail and water routes
in the Issuance of through bills of lading,
and equitable prorating, and for maktnj
physical connections of such routes wher
ever possible.
Sixth While viewing with much satis
faction the progress which has been mada
in providing suitable terminals along wa
terways w hich have been - improved and
re in process of improving, we strongly
urge the several states, cities and other
political subdivisions to a continuance of
and extension of such work as the only
means whereby the countrv as a whole
may secure the full benefit and advantage
of dependable, permanently-improved channels.

showed that the third degree methods
were used ten days prior .to the con
fessions before the grand jury and
that before confessions were made the
defendants had been warned that any
statements they might make would
be used against them in their trial at
a later date.
Lengthy instructions covering all
points of the evidence and arguments
w-ere addressed to the jurors ty Judge
f neips before he ordered them to re
tire for deliberation. Ruling on the
biggest issue of the trial, that of
the effect of the third degree inves
tigation on the defendants, the judge
stated that the evidence introduced
by the defense establishing that there
had been rough treatment of the
prisoners, should be considered only
by the jury to determine whether or
not the statements made before the
grand jury were voluntary, and if the
statements were voluntary, then the
evidence introduced should not be
considered from a sympathetic stand
point. Rollcnll of Jury Mode.
"The question of guilt or innocence
is a matter of fact," the judge in
structed, "and not of sympathy, prej
udice or amount of punishment."
Indication was made by the jury at
3 P. M., that they wished to report
their verdict, and a rollcall of the jury
was made at 3:30 P. M. before the
judge with a half-filled courtroom of
people hurriedly assembled.
Kerby and Ra.th.ie appeared In the
court with a defiant attitude, but fol
lowing the reading of the verdict they
left the courtroom in the custody of
the sheriff, broken men. Both returned
with bowed heads to the jail and were
joined immediately by relatives.
Pendleton people, on hearing the
last verdict, seemed satisfied that the
law had taken its course in the pun
ishment of the desperadoes who had
taken the life of Sheriff Taylor.

Days of Mining' Past, Says Forest
Service Expert Just Back
From Arctic Tour.
Certainty of paper pulp projects be
ing successful and of the government
railroad being completed is putting
heart in the people of Alaska, who
have been suffering due to the slump
in gold mining. This is the statement
of John I. Guthrie, director of pub
licity and co-operation in the district
forester's office, who has Just re
turned from a several months' tour of
Alaska.
Mr. Guthrie's' work was in -connection
with the co-operative plans to
give publicity to the country. The
forestry man was particularly inter
ested in gathering first hand informa
tion on forest resources for the pur
pose of preparing magazine articles,
several government publications and
a tourist map.
"AJaska is no longer a mining
coLr.try," .Mr. Guthrie declared. "The
mines can't afford to run, and in some
of the biggest districts there would
be only a single one in operation
where there had been dozens. The
refusal of the government to allow a
bonus on gold, requested to tide over
the emergency, is causing many min
ers to leave the country."
The forestry man went Into Alaska
from Cordova on the Cooper river
railroad to Chitina, staging 320 miles
from there to Fairbanks by automo
bile. Mr. Guthrie went on to Nenana
by the new-branch raliroad and then
through the 180-mile gap in the line
on horseback.

GERMANS GET CURT NOTE
Immediate Release of Ships Held
in Kiel Canal Demanded.
PARIS. Oct. 5. (By the Associated
Press.) The council of ambassadors
today dispatched a note to Germany
demanding immediate release of three
ships loaded with munitions for Po
land which are being held in the
Kiel canal by the German authorities.
The note specifically mentions the
Danish ship Dorrit.
Germany has taken the position
that she is neutral in the Russo
Polish war and therefore could not
permit the passage of the ships,
which are destined for Danzig. The
ambassadors point out that Ger
many's attitude constitutes a direct
violation of the treaty of Versailles,
inasmuch as the treaty specifies that
the Kiel canal is a free waterway.

est terms and leaves no room for
further discussion on the part of
Germany.
