THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1920 MIL CHIEF PLEADS FOR RURAL AMERICA Northern Pacific Official Warns of Population Drift. U. S. LIKENED- TO ROME Immigration, and Industry Party Gather Data on District Served by System. "If th's country will maintain its present high standard it must keep the proper xatio in population be tween the cities and country, for it our population becomes centered in the large cities and agriculture as an industry degenerates into an under paid, down-trodden serfdom we will be face to face with the same condi tions which contributed to the down fall of the Roman empire." In these words E. F. Benson, head of the party of immigration and In dustry officials of the Northern Pa cific railway, who arrived in Port land yesterday on a tour of the north western states, expressed the vision and Inspiration which resulted in the formation of the department of im migration and industry at the head quarters of the railroad system in St. Paul. "This department has been created for one purpose only and that is serv ice," said Mr. Benson. "We want to get practical data on all the districts served by the system eo that we can point out to prospective settlers just what the advantages and disadvan tages of the. country are. We don't want to get inflated valuations on the prospects of the counn-y. It would be far better that the incoming settler did not realize all that the country offers than to have ex agerated ideas and then be disap pointed." Presenting facts as to the possi bilities and development of Oregon, the visiting immigration experts were addressed by J. W. Brewer, field eecretary of the state chamber of commerce, on state-wide develop ment; P. I. Campbell of the Univer sity of Oregon, on educatipnal system; W. J. Kerr of the Oregon Agricultural college, on agricultural education; Paul V. Maris, county agent system; C I. Lewis, co-operative marketing; Alfred A. Aya, industrial develop ment; Coe A. McKenna, realty, and H. Li. Hudson, Portland's traffic. Other speakers on state-wide agricul tural development were: W . W. Harrah, R. A. Ward, T. L. Stanley, W. E. Meacham, H. P. Boardman and H. M. Parks. C. H. Wheeler, spoke of the agricultural possibilities of Ore gon's logged-off land. After the entertainment programme yesterday morning and noon, under the auspices of the Portland Cham ber ofCommerce, the visiting agents were taken for an inspection trip to municipal terminal No. 4 and to the stockyards. The entire party, which included R. E. Goodmote, John V. Fox, K. K. Katz, O. Is. Stark, George A. Jobes and V. J. Elliott, traveling immigration agents from middle western towns, and C. E. Arnay and F. Benz of Toppenish and Spokane, left last night at 7:10 o'clock. " Members of the committee in charge of the entertainment of the visitors were E. E. Faville. Coe Mc Kenna, J. W. Brewer, Alfred A. Aya of the Chamber of Commerce, and A. D. Charlton and E. C. Robbins of the local Northern Pacific offices. CONVICTS MAKING GOOD 8 8 PER CENT KEEP PAROLE DCK1XG OLCOTT REGIME. High Percentage Attributed to Board Ruling Permitting Men to Leave State. Of all the men who have been pa roled from the Oregon state peniten tiary during the regime of Governor Olcott, 79 per cent have returned to private life and made good, accord ing to statistics compiled by Percy M. Varney, state parole officer, who was in Portland yesterday on official business. Penitentiary records show that 88 per cent of the convicts to whom con ditional pardons are granted make good, said Mr. Varney. "One reason why the percentage of successful paroles and conditional pardons is so high is because both liovernor Olcott and the parole board permit these men. in manv instances, to leave the state," said Mr. Varney. "Ordinarily, when a man is paroled from the penitentiary his release is conditioned on the fact that he will remain within the state of Oregon. "It has been shown, however, that many men who have served sentences in the state prison have opportunities in other states. If they remained in Oregon they might never reclaim themselves, but Governor Olcott has Kiven them a chance to go to states where places are waiting for them, and the high percentage of successes indicates that this policy is meeting with unusual success. "I have on file at my office in Sa lem many letters from men who have been paroled from the Oregon peni tentiary during the past year. More than 75 per cent of these men who have been trusted and given the op portunity to make good are faring better now than ever before. They are earning more money and gettins along better than before they entered a life of crime." CUPPER'S WORD DENIED L. FIXLEY DECLARES STATE.MEXT FALSE. Federal Government Has Control of Malheur Lake Reserve, Writes Naturalist. BT TV". L. FINLET. I wish to call attention to a state ment made by Percy A. Cupper, state engineer, yesterday in The Oregonian in regard to Malheur Lake reserva tion. He says: "The state land board. composed of the governor, secretary ' state and state treasurer, now has full control over these lands and can handle them as seems best for the public interests," etc. This - statement is both false and misleading, and as a state officer Mr. Cupper either knows it or is ignorant of the law. On August 18, 1908, Theodore Roosevelt issued special executive order No. 929 creating Malheur lake reservation "for the use of the de partment of agriculture as a preserve and breeding ground for native i birds." Since that time the federal government has had full charge over the lands and waters within Malheur lake reservation. The withdrawal of this lake or swamp kind by federal proclamation makes Malhe-ur lake the property of the United . States government. The state land Doard does, not now have any control within the reservation lines, nor can it get any control until it can be proved in court by due process that the acts of the federal government were illegal. The points at issue in the Roose velt bird refuge measure are very clear. It clears the title and the state does not start a long legal bat tle with the federal government. There is no interference with the waters of any tributaries of Malheur lake. It does not interfere with ir rigation and honest development, but it does block th- promoters' scheme of draining the lake. Mr. Cupper as state engineer is fighting the battles of the promoter, C. B. McConnell of Burns, who or ganized the Harney Valley Develop ment company for $500,000 under the laws of South Dakota. This scheme of draining Malheur lake and selling the alkali land to unsuspecting farm ers has been before the state land board since 1916 and has not yet been acted upon. JEWELRY PRICES STAND . ALBERT FELDEXHELMER BACK FK03I EASTEKX TRIP. - Local Jeweler Sees No Decline In Cost of Jewelry; Price May Go Up. Albert Feldenheimer of the firm of A. & C. Feldenheimer, Jewelers, re turned home yesterday from a trip to New York and other eastern cities. It is the unanimous opinion of all the manufacturers and . retailers in the jewelry trade, according to Mr. Feldenheimer, that Jewelry prices will remain at their present level. The un derlying conditions which determine the cost of manufacture and distribu tion have undergone no changes, and until such a time as some radical change takes place, there will be no drop in prices. "In fact," says Mr. Feldenheimer, "there is a chance that they may rise even higher. The articles which Jewel ers sell are of such a nature that they become a permanent investment. The person who purchases a gift or an article for personal adornment does so with the thought in mind that it shall be lasting. "Consequently the Jeweler is catering to a class of trade that is not so much affected by the general conditions as other merchants. "Jewelry prices are practically sta bilized. Europe is coming back into the field for Jewelry and the only changes to look forward to, if there be any, will be upward." CORN INTEREST GROWING Josephine Farmers Display Results of Crops at Show.

Dl PROPOSED BILS QElTfD DIVIDED LEGISLATIVE SES SION INTERESTS ROTARIAXS. Anti-Vaccination Act and State Market Measures Also Taken Up at Weekly Luncheon. "If you want more deliberation on measures up for passage before the state legislature, vote for the divided session amendment," advised Robert E. Smith in a debate on the divided session amendment before the Rotary club at noon luncheon at the Benson hotel yesterday. C. C. Chapman was the ojpposing speaker. Mr. Smith said the good feature of the measure was that it provided for a period of two months between the two sessions of the legislature, dur ing which time members of both houses could study the various bills which had been introduced and vote intelligently on them when they came up for final passage at the sec ond session. Mr. Chapman, in opposing the measure, said that it would make for more congestion than under the pres ent legislative session. He said the proposed measure made the first pe riod of the session a 40-day period, with no possibility of increasing that, and that all bills must come up for consideration during this period. Mr. Chapman also predicted that under the proposed measure the need of amending bills at the second 'portion Have You Tried Snow Flakes in the Family Tin? !

The anti-vaccination measure was declared by F. B. Layman to be against all medication. Mr. Layman was asked to speak after it was found that supporters of anti-vaccination had distributed tracts at' the guests' places at the luncheon. Mr. Layman said the enactment of the measure would abolish public control of all diseases. Jay Stevens spoke briefly in favor of the proposed three-mill levy for municipal purposes. The state market commission bill was supported by Circuit Judge Sta pleton. The measure was declared to be too drastic by C. C. Chapman, who predicted that its Passage would lead to endless trouble. J. L. Wright, president of the club, presided. 30 DISABLED MEN ENROLL Board of Vocational Training Signs ex-Soldiers at TJ. of O. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Oct. 26. (Special.)

The indigestion and other trou bles that made life a burden for eleven years have entirely disap peared and I am like a new woman. "My stomach was. so disordered that even liquid foods and plain water caused me to have dreadful cramping spells that lasted for hours. My kidneys were disordered and I had pains across my back almost con stantly. I had severe headaches near ly every day and became so dizzy I could hardly stand. I was so nervous it was impossible for me to get a good night's sleep. I tried every con ceivable medicine and was treated by specialists, but nothing helped me. "But Tanlac has made me a per fectly well woman in every way. I can now eat and sleep like other peo ple and I haven't a pain about me.
