flOURNE'S LETTER
AROUSES CHAMBER
Senator Shows Indifference to
Proposed Removal of Army
Headquarters.
WRITES CAUSTIC LETTER
Solon Manifests Little Icire to
Comply With Itoqnest to Look
Out for Portland's Inter
est in Pending Itsuc.
Strained relations have developed be
tween United Stares Senator Bourne and
the Portland Chamber of Commerce be
cause of the Senator's attltuoe respecting
the chamber's fight against the proposed
removal of the Department of the Colum
bia'a headquarters from Vancouver to
Seattle. Senator Bourne had been re
quested to unite with the other members
of th Oregon delegation in an efTort to
secure for Portland the location of these
offices, if It should be decided to remove
from Vancouver.
Replying, Bourne, in a letter to William
MacMaster. president of the Chamber of
Commerce, manifests indifference u to
t'.te location of the Department Head
quarters and plainly informs the officers
of this organization IhHt the commercial
Interests of Portland are secondary to
him when the best Interests of the public
service are Involved. The tone of Bourne's
letter came as a distinct surprise to the
members of the chamber, among whom
there Is considerable feeling as a conse
quence. It was on April 30 that the Chamber of
Commerce, through Secretary Giltner,
transmitted to Senator Bourne and the
other members of tt Oregon delegation
a brief, in which was presented the rea
sons why Portland, rather than Seattle,
is the logical location for the Armv, head
quarters. If rfshould be decided to re
move from Vancouver. The other mem
bers of the delegation replied and assured
the chamber that they woulddo all In
their power to have the headquarters
brought to this city.
I rge Portland's Advantages.
in rlie brief attention was called to
the fact that Portland Is the logical
location for the headquarters for the
reason that It Is located in the center
an agricultural district from which
the great bulk of the supplies could
he obtained. "If removal Is decided
upon from Vancouver." concluded the
p-?sentation of facts. "It certainly
should be to some place controlling
the Columbia River, and it Is urged
for every reason of strategy and econ
i.!iiy In supplies that Portland has the
advantage over any other city In the
l'ar-inc Northwest.'
Secretary Giltner accompanied the
brief witli a letter to Senator Bourne,
in which he said:
""W have been Informed, through
sources which seem worthy of cre
dence, that there Is no doubt that the
headquarters will be removed and that
as things now appear that the Depart
ment is favorablo to Seattle. The peo
ple are quite stirred up here, and from
political and personal standpoint you
could do nothing that would redound
in vour credit than to not these
headquarters removed to Portland, and"!
their removal to Seattle would De dan
gerous." Senator Bourne's letter to Mr. Mac
master was written May 29. After -referring
to the brief and Secretary Gllt
ner's letter, the Senator frankly wrote
that he had "no hope or expectation of
being able to induce the heads of de
partments here to sacrifice what they
-believe to be the welfare of the public
service for the local business Interests
of the city of Portland." Later on In
his letter." Bourne Just as frankly de
clares against any change In the lo
cation of the headquarters. "I under
stand as well as you do the commercial
Interest of Portlnnd In the retention
of the Army Headquarters at Van
couver," he wrote, "and in my opinion
the best interests of the service require
that no chanire be made."
Senator Bourne intimates in his letter
that the Chamber of Commerce recently
sent a representative to Washington for
the purpose of weakening his influence by
misrepresentation. Ofticers of the Cham
ber of Commerce Indignantly deny that
this organization has ever had a repre
sentative at Washington, or at any otheo
place, for the purpose of depreciating the
Influence of Bourne or any other mem
ber of the Oregon delegation
"We feel very much chacrined by Sen
ator Bourne's attitude." said Mr. Mac
Master last night. "Business men of
rortland think that Oregon's Senator
and Representatives in Congress should
do everything within their power to retain
the Army headquarters In Vancouver,
which is virtually a suburb of Portland.
.Ml the members of Oregon's delegation
in Coiwrres. except Senator Bourne, have
Promised the chaniler of Commerce to
put forth all their etTorte In that direc
tion. Trustees of the Chamber of
Commerce cannot understand Senator
Bmu-ne's attitude.
Business men In the city have not gen
erallv been Informed of Mr. Bourne's let
ter, but trnv-c who know about It evince
considerable feeling in the matter. If
nator Bourne's letter represents his true
opinion and purpose, the City of Portland
sill be sorely disappointed. Portland
tveds all the effort of Its representatives
in Washington, and cannot be satisfied
without 11 at effort, nor can its' interests
lw attended to without it."
Keply Sent by Senator.
Senator Bourne s letter to Mr. MacMas-t.-r.
as president of the Chamber of Oom
rieroe. follows:
inlled States Scnat- May 19. W
Hon William MacMatfr. QZ Worcester
Itmil.ng. rortland. lr.
Mv drnr Mr. Mai-Master Upon my re
in n rr.'in New Bedford. Mass.. where I nas
. al.l b' the fatal nines or my mother. I
f..un.i on mv drV your favor of May t in
f.Tn ir-B me that the Secretary of the rort
land -imb-r of Commerce had trans
mittal to me a brief upon the subject of
:hc proposed renioxal of the Army head
quarters from the present location at Van
,vurr I a so received, the hrtcr and with
It a communication rrom Mr. Giltner. I
nntf ,uur observation that the merchants of
rortland "were very disagreeably surprised
at the decision to estahiish the new postal
headquarteu at Seattle instead of Port
land. hl'-h si .-ertalnlv the central and
'.osic&l place for their location." And I
rote your further suggestion that "should
the removal of the Army headquarters fol
low upon the loss of the postal department,
they will. 1 am certain, feel such a chagrin
and disappointment as will remain with
them a very long time."
A letter from Mr. Giltner informs me.
among other things, that "the people are
quite stirred up here and from a political
and personal standpoint you could do noth
ing that would redound more to your credit
than to get these headquarters removed to
rortland. and that their removal to Seattle
would b disastrous.
Make Attitude Plain.
I Judge from tha expressions I have
l uot ron your letter and that of Jir.
! Giltner that In your" opinion my usefulness J
as a Senator from the state of Oregon is to
be measured hy my effectiveness in Inducing
ins neaus ot at-pinnwnn vi i"
ment to decide questions brought before
them in favor of the commercial Interests
of the City of Portland, regardless of tneir
Judgment as to the best Interests of the
branches of the public service over which
they have supervision. If failure In efforts
of this kind Is to mean disaster to my polit
ical Interests, then I presume my retire
ment from service In the United States
Senate will follow Inevitably, for I have no
hope or expectation of being able to Induce
the heads of departments here to sacrifice
what they believe to be the welfare of the
public service for the local business inter
ests of the citv of Portland. The Govern
ment Is not and should not be conducted in 1
the Interests of Portland or of any otner
city, and while I may not always agree with
the War Department, the Postofflce Depart
ment or anv other branch of the service as
to the action that should be taken upon any
particular question that may arise. I must
give them credit for being honest In de
termining Issues upon the Information which
they have In their possession,
v So far as the railway mail division heart
quarters matter is concerned. I have this
to sav: The members of the Oregon dele
gation, without exception, presented the
argument, in behalf o Portisnd as fully
and forcefully as It was possible to do. ana
no effort was neglected which could have
aided in convincing the department that the
public service requires the location of the
headquarter, at Portland. I was Informed
by the Second Assistant Postmaster-uenerau
and I believe his statement Is true, that
the decision of the deparment was based
upon Information gathered by the depart
ment Itself., and not upon Information pre
sented by the representatives of the cities
which wero directly Interested In the con
troversy. m Serfle9 ControTcrsy.
In his letter to me setting forth his rea
sons for the decisions he reached. Mr.
stowart pointed out very clearly that though
rortland is centrally located In the matter
of railway mall service. Seattle is more
centrally located with regard to all the
service which must bo directed from the
n..r mall division headquarters. It was
pointed out by him that the railway service
Is so weli ana morournij "' -
a large extent it takes care of Itself and
works automatically, as It were, requiring
comparatively little specific control from the
railway division headquarters. Ocean mail
Is verv much different and since It Is Ir
regular and uncertain It Is Important that
the division headquarters 1m so located as
to enable the superintendent to handle
quickly the questions which frequently arise
with referenoe to this feature of the service.
Had railway mall service been the only mat
ter to be considered, there is no doubt .what
ever that Portland would have won over
Seattle, but. as you very well know, Port
land has no ceaa steamship service and
could make no claims based upon the noeds
of this branch of mall transmission.
The reason why Portland has no ocean
mail service Is well known to you. as It
Is to me. and I think you must admit that
the absence of such service is due to no
fault of mine. and. that being true. It is
dlflicult to understand why either myself
or my associates in the Oregon delegation
should be held responsible for the decision
of the Postofflce Department In the loca
tion of the division headquarters.
Admits rortland' Interest.
I understand as well as you do the com
mercial interest of Portland in the reten
tion of the Army headquarters at Van
couver and in my opinion the best Interests
of the service require that no change be
made. However. I can very readily see
that there Is room fur a difference of opin
ion and I am not ready to agree that the
department should yield to the wishes of
the Senators and Representatives from Ore
gon If their own Judgment should be that
the Interests of the War Department would
be promoted by location of the headquarters
elsewhere.
But if it be conceded that the success of
a Senator should be measured by his ef
fectiveness in inducing heads of depart
ments to consider local rather than National
interests. I will submit that I should not
be held responsible for failure in this re
spect. If you have read the dairy papers
you are well aware that even' possible ef
fort has been made by men who claim to
be Interested In the welfare of Oregon, to
destroy whatever Influence I may now have
or may In the future arquire nere in asi
tngton. Many of the representations con
cerning myself and my work have been
alfolutely false and were known to be false
when printed and were published for no
other purpose than that or aesiroying jny
Influence here In Washington and my stand
ing at home.
' Believes Enemy Was at Work.
T cannot conceive of any business insti
tution which would send a representative
among strangers to look after Its Interests
and then try to weaken his Influence by
misrepresentation and by viliflcatlon. I
submit In all candor that exactly this has
been done by some of the most influential
men of Portland In their attitude toward me.
If any man wishes to oppose my re
election when my term expires, or if any
man wishes to be a candidate against me.
I shall have no protest to make against
any fair fight, baaed upon my qualifications,
my service and my loyalty to the Interests
which have been entrusted to me. K Is
needless for me to argue to a man of your
business ability that the Interest, of Ore
gon require that my hands be strengthened
while here working for the welfare of my
state. However. I am asking no favors
and shall ask none. All I ask and all any
man need ask Is that he be given a fair
opportunity to do the work which has been
assigned to him.
For two years I have been giving my best
efforts toward trying to retain the depart
ment headquarters at Vancouver and know
that I have been partially Instrumental at
least in preventing such removal.
I am confident very strong demonstration
that the efficiency of the Army necessitates
the removal of the headquarters from Van
couver to Seattle will be required before the
President or Secretary of War will direct
such change.
You are at liberty to publish .this letter If
you so oeslre. Very sincerely yours.

CZAR COOL TO FRANCE
KEKISKS TO LAND AT CHKR
BOVnti TO MEKT Kl'I.KK.
President Fallieres Must (Jo t Sea
'to Greet Kmperor of Kus.-ia
Hiring Visit.
PARIS. July 17. (Special.! The of
ficial announcement that President
Fallieres will meet the Czar on the im
perial yacht, and not in the town of
Cherbourg, has caused astonishment.
The visit of Nichoas I la simply one of
etiquette, and in no way a sign that the
alliance with France is as firm as It
wup. No. only aiv i elation hettvecn
Paris and St. Petersburg less intimate.
but it is felt here that the Czar and the J
Kmperor William are drawing togetner
in closer tics.
Preparations are now being made for
the reception of the Czar. When the
Imperial yacht reaches the port she will
be saluted by the French warships as
well as several English cruisers, Tha
fetes organized promise to be excep
tionally brtiiiant. They will begin on
July 30. when M. Doumorgue, the Min
ister of Education, inaugunues.a girls'
college and a library of natural
sciences. The Czar's yacht will arrive
on the following day.
President Fallieres will be on board j
the Leon Uanibetta. and the Interview
between the two chiefs of state will
take place at sea. Instructions having
been sent to the arsenal to make no
preparations for the reception of the
Czar. In connection with the naval
maneuvers ' arranged for the evening
of August 1. it Is probable that they
will be witnessed by the Czar and the
President from a tribune erected on the
Place Napoleon. The Czar's yacht
leaves on August 2.
S1PIIY
FOR
ONSLOW'S SORROW
Lordly Landowner Wails Loud
ly at British Tax on
His Estate.
TAKES ALL, GIVES NOTHING
Has Kxtorted High Price Often
From Town of Guildford, Tak
ing AH Front From Growth
of London Suburb.
LONDON, July 10. Special.) There Is
a curious want of sympathy manifested
in the town of Guild ford at the desper
ate straits to which .the Barl of Onslow
professes to have been reduced by tha
finance bill. The Earl of Onslow Is one
of those canny peers who know how to
turn a penny as well as the next one. His
grinding poverty excites nothing but a
smile. His neighbors are not distressed,
as they should be at the sight of the no
ble lord dragging out a miserable exist
ence In a slum at Clandon.
I-ord Onslow threatens to rid himself of
hie mo; -sussing necessities by selling
some of his 1. . It might be inferred
from a recent speecn T his that hitherto
he lias been able to keep his heritage In
tact and that It Is only the dastardly at
tacks of a Radical Chancellor which have
driven him to part with hitter grief
from his ancestral acres. This id not so.
Lord Onslow has been selling land all
along, and sympathizers with the noble
lord in liis affliction will be glad to hear
that he has found a very excellent mar
ket for the land he has already sold and
that it Is by no means glutted even now.
Cinehes Town of Guildford.
As an Instance of this, a little trans
action may be noticed which took place
between Lord Onslow and the Guildford
Board of Guardians a few months ago.
That body require a strip of land on
which to build a receiving home. It ap
plied to lord Onslow, and-he graciously
consented to sell seven acres; of land at
a price which worked out at about $1500
ati acre. This was out of a field, the
frontage of which was reserved by the
seller, so that the guardians got no
frontage at all. The field in question
was part of a farm of 130 acres, which
was rated at $4-15 a year, or about X50
an acre. It will be seen from this that
the Impoverished earl wa able to get
a good many years' purchase for his land.
A few years ago Lord Onslow sold an
other piece of land to the Guildford Guar
dians at J1000 an acre, which was of siml.
Iar quality and rated at a similar figure.
Indeed, it is gratifying to note that the
growth of Guildford as a residential sub
urb has relieved Lord On6low of some of
his anxieties. His lordship thinks that In
the future land will have to be looked
upon as a luxury. If price Is anything to
go by, land in and around Guildford pos
sessed by Lord Onslow Is certainly a lux
uryto those who want to buy It. There
is one method, however, by which the
noble lord has relieved himself of a part
of his grievous burden of taxation. He
lets allotments at 12 cents a rood rent,
which Is JI0 an acre a fair rent In these
days of agricultural depression. Hitherto
Lord Onslow has paid the rates on these
allotments, although to ease the burden
tho general taxpayers contribute half of
them, under the agricultural rating act of
1S-S7. But nowjho allotment-holders have
received notice that they must pay their
own rates. The threat to discharge car
penters and bricklayers on the estate Is
part of the policy which Is being entered
upon everywhere to bring those mis
guided workmen to their senses who
voted Radical at the last election.
Alway9 Gels Highest Price.
Lord Onslow should be the last person
to complain of the unproductiveness of
his land. In the district of which Guild,
ford Is the center he is one of the largest,
if not the largest, landowners, and it
may be questioned whether any one
within that area has made more out of
his land than the noble earl. For years
he has been soiling his agricultural land,
as building land. In and near the borough
of which lie Is Lord High Steward. In
variably he has obtained the best price
possible and taken the full value of all
the Improvements made possible by the
growth of the district. At times his con
ditions have proved so onerous, es
pecially in his dealings with the Town
Council, that the Councillors have dared
to protest against the treatment the town
was receiving. It is not so long since
one of the most respected Aledrmen
openly rebuked Lord Onslow for the man
ner In which ho was treating the borough.
To a large extent the enterprise and
prosperity of the borough of Guildford
have enhanced the value of Lord Onslow's
land. Yet what has he given In return?
One has only to talk to Guildford people
who know the facts of the case In order
to realize that there can be few exam
ples in the country of" a great landowner
who has made so many profitable sales
of land and who has contributed lees In
generous gifts to the community from
which lie has drawn large profits. But
Lord Onslow Is not the only one.

WEATHER CONDITION'S.
Cloudy, unsettled weather prevails over
the greater portion of the district, with
rain at most points west of the Cascades,
though only moderate amounts are reported.
It is generally cooler in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, but high temperatures are
noted todav from the last-named state.
The pressure is rising along the Coast, but
a considerable trough of pressure extends
along the west slope of the Rockies and is
probable that tho result of this distribution
of pressure will cause cloudy and unsettled
weather in Western Oregon and Western
Washington, without Important temperature
changes, and fair weather In Idaho, with
somewhat lower temperatures in the south
ern portion.
FORECASTS.
Portland and vicinity Probably showers:
westerly winds.
Oregon and Washington Probably show
ers in western, fair in eastern portion;
westerly winds.
Idaho Fair, cooler in south portion.
