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.
GRANTS PASS. Or., Oct. 2. (Spe
cial.) A large number of exhibits
were on display Saturday at the Jo
sephine county corn chow held at the

One bank is offering enough seed
corn to fill the silo of any farmer
who will build a silo during the
coming season. They also offer to
loan the farmer enough money to
build the silo. The farmers are be
coming greatly Interested in corn cul
ture, which at one time was not con
sidered adapted to this part of the
state.

EUGENE, Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.)
The boys' club movement in Eugene
is growing rapidly, according to
"Jimmy" . Price, the Seattle "boy
preacher," who is taking a course

ized the "Beavers' at the Congrega
tional chufch, and since then similar

bers. but at the last meeting the
membership had grown to 50 and is
increasing constantly.

MEDFORD. Or.. Oct. 26. (Special.)
Edison Marshall. Medford author
and short-story writer, has returned
from a two-months hunt in British
Columbia, where he shot a giant cart
bou and a large moose, and gathered
material for out-of-doors stories.
Marshall also reports that he dis
covered a mountain and a lake, which
he named, neither having been visited
before so far as is known.
Any number of caribou or moose
could have been killed, he says, as
they are numerous and tame, but he
only picked out two of the largest
ones as specimens.

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

of the session, with the necessity of
securing a four-fifths majority in
each case, would prove another cause
for congestion of business.
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.

"I believe I am the happiest woman
in the world, and it is all because of
what Tanlac has done for me," said
Mrs. Laura Rarick, 403 Meidroth St..
Peoria, 111., a well-known and highly
respected resident of that city.
"I never dreamed that I would ever
find anything- that would do for me
what Tanlac has done," she said. '"I
was in a wretched state of health
and was down in. bed so long that I
lost fifty pounds in weight, but I have
gained back every pound I lost and I
now feel as well as I ever did in my
life. 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
