SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) This proclamation was given wide publicity today: "In order to permit every citizen to do honor to the Chief Executive of the Nation on the occasion of his visit to our city, I hereby proclaim Tuesday, September 2R. a holiday. I would sug gest that all employers permit their employes, in so far as they consistently can. to cease their labors for at least a portion of the forenoon, while the President is viewing the city and ad dressing the citizens. "(Signed) N. S. PRATT. Mayor." Taft's Escort Is Selected. " OLYMPIA. Wash.. Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) The party which will accompany Governor Hay when he meets President Taft will consist of Attorney-General Bell, Adjutant-General Lamping and Congressman Humphrey. KORTH COAST IS LET IN STRAHORN'S ROAD FINDS WAY INTO SPOKANE. Railway Will Use Howard-Street Grade and Mate Exit Over International.' SPOKANE, Wash., Sept 25. (Special.) After poking at Spokane from all sides to find an inlet and outlet for a year, the North Coast, the mysterious Mr. Strahorn's toy. has at last been success ful. That the mysterious road will enter Spokane on a nearly perfect grade to Howard street and Front avenue, tlje pas senger depot site, and continue its course northeast over the Spokane International line out of Spokane, Is indicated by sur veys quietly carried on by Chief Engineer Pitman and his corps. Instead of entering the city underneath the Monroe-street bridge, on' a grade 80 feet below the street level at Howard and Front, the North Coast is to cross the Monroe-street bridge north of the river between the Great Northern right of way and the river, passing southeast across the river at Post street and contin uing east along Front to Howard street. Once in the city, it is to leave the ter minal at Howard street and Front ave nue in a northeasterly direction until the Spokane International main line Is reached, over which line the North Coast will continue out of Spokane. North. Coast officials would not deny that this ?s the recent plan. Chief Engi neer Pitman said: "The task of securing an Inlet and outlet was a hard one. Many surveys have been necessitated, and no conclusion will probably be reached until the city fathers decide whether to sanc tion the union station plan. The matter of franchise has not been settled." The North Coast will Immediately seek to purchase city property occupied by the fire station on Howard street, north of the City Hall. Negotiations are said to be pending for rights of way from How ard street east" to the main line of the Spokane International. It is stated that the former plan of en tering Spokane under the Monroe-street bridge has been definitely abandoned, be cause of the infeasibility of securing an outlet over the Milwaukee.

TAFT SOOTHES HIS MRRINC OFFICIALS 'Agrees Both With Ballinger I and Pinchot in Upholding Roosevelt Policies. PINCHOT NOT TO RESIGN Forester Makes Public Letter From Executive, Which Warmly Com mends His Work Ballinger and Prachot Don't Speak. " (Continued Prom First Pa a.) his letter to me, mentioned in the state ment he has Just authorised: " 'I wish you to know that I have the utmost confidence in your conscientious desire to serve the Government and the public, in the intensity of your purpose to achieve success in the matter of con servation of natural resources, and in the immense value of what you have done and propose to do with reference to for estry and kindred methods of conserva tion; and that I am thoroughly In sympa thy with all of these policies, and pro pose to do everything that I can to main tain them. Insisting only that the action for which I become responsible, or for which my Administration becomes respon sible, shall be within the law. ... I should consider It one of tha greatest losses that my Administration could sus tain if you were to leave It, and I sin cerely hope that you will not think my action in writing the inclosed letter to Secretary Ballinger- is reason for your taking a step of this character.' No Thought of Resigning. "These expressions by the President, which are most kind toward me and most favorable toward my' work, as well as tha statement authorized by him, define his attitude toward the conservation policies with convincing'! clearness. "I shall not resign, but shall remain In the Government service. I shall give my best effort's in the future as in the past to promote the conservation and development of our forests, waters, lands and minerals and to defend the conservation policies whenever the need arises. Especially ! shall continue to advocate the control of water-power monopoly In the public interest and the use of our institutions, laws and nat ural resources for the benefit of the plain people. I believe in equality of opportunity and the Roosevelt policies, and I propose to stand for them as long as I have the strength to stand for anything. GIFFORD PINCHOT." Ballinger Still Cold. It was thought yesterday that a meet ing here of the President, Secretary Ballinger and Pinchot might call out some further statement from Mr. Taft. Mr. Pinchot' came on especially from California to seek an interview with the President. With the exception of the meeting at the station, when neither attempted to speak to the other,' Sec retary Ballinger and Mr. Pinchot were not thrown in contact with each other during their stay in Salt Lake. Mr. Pinchot attended several functions along with the party escorting the President, but Mr. Ballinger, pleading a sore throat, remained indoors. His private secretary met him here and he devoted much time to disposing of business matters. Taft Is Peacemaker. Mr. Ballinger had no comment to make on the latest phase of the dis cussion. Friends of both Mr. Ballinger and' Mr. Plnchet declare that the posi tion of the President is such that both officials can consistently remain In the Government service and work toward the same ends. Mr. Pinchot has de clared himself in favor of a strong conservation policy. Mr. Ballinger has declared himself in favor of keeping within the law. President Taft finally declares himself as being in fayor of a strong, progressive policy, kept within the law, with such amendment to the law as may be necessary .to carry out Mr. Roosevelt's ideas. In an address here this afternon Mr. Taft had this further to say regarding the controversy: 4. "We are going to move on Congress and ask Congress to help us out. Of course Congress may have a differing view, and perhaps those of us that are most enthuhiastic those of us that have a clear idea of what will have to be done will have to modify our views In some way and arrange a. compro mise. But life is a compromise, prog ress Is a compromise; popular govern ment is a compromise between ninety millions of people." Conservation Is Topic. The conservation of resources Is the Issue which the President will be con fronted with during the next two or three weeks of his travel. Senator Borah, of Idaho, saw him with regard to tha proposition of the Government issuing bonds to carry on the. conser vation work more rapidly than is now possible. Senator Borah will accom pany the President through Idaho and will take up the matter again. Taft Has Busy Day. The President had a busier time than he expected on this, the second day of his stay here. With Governor Spry, Senator Smoot and others of the local committee to accompany him, he break fasted at the Commercial Club, made an excursion to Saltair and saw the great Salt Lake for the first time, attended an organ recital at the Mormon Tab ernacle, and expressed to the organist and to the soloists who helped in the programme his appreciation of their splendid music: had luncheon, and spent the early afternoon at the Country Club: held a public reception and spoke out of doors at Liberty park at a meet ing presided over by the Mayor of the city; held a reception tonight at the University Club for Yale graduates and Ohioans resident in Salt Lake, and ended up the day at a banquet in his honor at the Alta Club. ' - Factions Smoothed Over. The excursion to Saltair was arranged by Senator Smoot, and on it the President was introduced to a large number of men prominent in the affairs of the church, in cluding President Joseph F. Smith. Presi dent Smith sat with President Taft during the organ recital. The conflict of opinion between the Mor mon and anti-Mormtm elements of Salt Lake's social, political and religious life has been stirred by the President's visit, but Mr. Taft has taken occasion to say in his speeches that he believes his welcome has come from all the people and Is an expression of their loyalty to ths Govern. ft& X ff A , i f s i'i r iississiisifn Tin 1 m r s 1 . fcwoT" im , , ,,, .ml..,.,,. 1 " ' J U, ... ment and to the man who temporarily 'is at the head of the Government. In his speech, at Liberty Park this after noon, the President said: Grateful for Courtesies. "I want to thank the Governor of th state, the two Senators, the Congressman and the Mayor of Salt Lake for their great kindness in welcoming me when I came into the state, and for their atten tion and courtesy since an attention and courtesy which, I am glad to say. I believe to have real reason for thinking, is an exprefeton of the senti ment of the people who elected me Presi dent. "I stand here In the presence of a community in which the first effort for their reclamation of the arid and semi arid lands was made most successful and that development Is bound to make this country a moet Important part of the United States. 1 Conservation Is Necessary. "That brings me to the subject of the conservation of our resources. I don't Intend to discuss that in detail this aft ernoon, but there has arisen within the last seven years and in less than that time a deep feeling on the part of the people- that we must conserve the re sources that the Lord gave to this conti nent In order that our posterity may not be embarrassed, straitened and even starved. It Involves the saving of the forests and the reforestation of land which has been denuded of forests. It involves the saving of the water power so that the public may enjoy it at rea sonable rates. It involves the saving of the coal lands so that the supply of coal shall more tr less be under the control of the public. Reaps Roosevelt's Sowing. "And it involves the extension in every direction of the reclamation of our arid lands. Now, to one man more than any other Is the fact due that that issue Is before the people, and they have become Impressed with the necessity for our saving and not wasting she resources that God has given us and that man Is Theodore Roosevelt. It was not reserved for him to be in office as President in the development of even of the first of these great works. It has often happened that one man sows and another reaps, a fact I could not but feel when I stood at the mouth of the Gunnison tunnel, a tunnel six miles long, longer than any Irrigation tunnel in the world, and opened the way for the water from the Gunni son River to come into that unpronounce able valley, the Uncompaghre Valley, where thousands and thousands of acres are to be made to blossom as the rose. Compromises Are Needed. "The pursuit of that policy involves self-restraint; it involves diligence and industry, and It Involves more than that. It Involves the passage of legislation well directed toward the result, and that is what wa are going to do. We are to move on Congress and ask Congress to help us out. Of course. Congress may have a different view, and perhaps those of us that are most enthusiastic, those of us that have a clear idea of what will have to be done, will have to modify our views In some way and arrange a com promise. But life Is a compromise. Progress is a compromise, and compro mise is popular government, because it is a compromise between ninety millions of people, and that is only accomplished by parties, by the much despised politics; by negotiation, by speeches, and by all sorts of inducement to human nature to bring about a result." TAFT FINDS CHANCE FOR GOLF Puts In Day of Enjoyment Seeing Sights of Salt Lake. SALT LAKE. Sept. 25. President Taft spent a day of comparative quiet in Salt Lake and enjoyed a rest from railroad travel. The day's programme began with a breakfast with 200 citi zens at the Commercial Club. This was followed by an organ recital in the Mormon Tabernacle, arranged especial ly in honor of the President, who is making his first visit to Salt Lake. After the recital, which was of 45 minutes' duration, the President was driven to. the Saltair bathing resort on the shores of Great Salt Lake for lunch eon. ,. From Saltair the President drove to the Country Club for a game of golf. He has gieatly missed the exercise the game affords since he started out on his present trip.

Telegraph business In Cincinnati was seriously ham pered by peculiar earth currents. In the Western Union office an experi ment was conducted by shutting off the batteries and working a single wire be tween Cincinnati and St. Louis by the power of this earth current. The plan worked all right as long as the earth current lasted, but It was not feasible for general work, as the current was too unsteady. BURNING LAKE STUDIED DESCENT MADE INTO CRATER OF ACTIVE VOLCANO. Adventurous Spirits Go Over Rim of Mount Kllaueau, First Time Feat Has Ever Been Accomplished. HONOLULU, Sept. 25. L. M. Hale, J. Reynolds and Earnest Moses, a photog rapher, descended today into the pit of the crater of Mount Kilaueau, remain ing half an hour on the edge of a burning lake of lava and fire. - This Is the first time this feat has been ao complisned. v The members of the party ventured almost to the rim of the seething lake and attempted to take photographs. The heat was intense and at time the adventurers walked over partially mol ten areas. After completing their ob servations, they returned safely to the rim of the crater, where a half dozen friends had witnessed the descent. Kllaueau Is one of the largest ac tive volcanoes in the world, on the east slope of Maunaloa, Hawaii Island. Its altitude is 4400 feet and the. circum ference of its crater is about nine miles, with a depth varying from 700 to 1100 feet, depending upon the level of the molten lava. Violent eruptions oc curred in 1797, .1844 and 1866, and since the latter date there have been several outbreaks of less severity. WALLOWA TQ GROW BEETS Amalgamated Sugar Company Signs Up . Contracts. WALLOWA. Or., Sept. 25. (Special.) Representatives of tlie Amalgamated Sugar Company have been in the county the past few days signing up contracts for acreage of sugar beets and renting ground for raising the crop themselves. Experiments have been carried on in this valley the past season by the Amalgamated Company and by several Individual growers. The results exceed the most sanguine ex pectations which the company or any of the land-owners held. F. S. Bramwell, representative and former president of the company, was in the city In the interests of the com pany. While here lfe stated that the yield in some instances had been 20 tons per acre, while the average is 12 tons per acre. The cost of production is $35 per acre, and, as the company will contract all beats at $4.50 per ton, even the poorest yields leave a nice margin of profit for the grower. The company is willing to rent lands at the highest price ever paid and grow the beets themselves. Ducks Plentiful In Lower River. ASTORIA, Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.) The storm of the past few days has driven large numbers of ducks into the lower river and many are being killed in the vicinity of Sand Island and Baker's Bay.

SCHOOL WELL CONTAMINATED, TYPHOID KILLS GIRL, SIX ILL, Two of Sons of Highland Rancher at Hospital Impure Water Sup ply Still Used. Out of one Oregon family, one mem ber died and six have been stricken with typhoid fever during what is known as the present "typhoid season." because, local physicians believe, the well on the ranch from which the water supply is taken is contaminated. The family still continues to use the water. This extraordinary number of typhoid cases in one family has excited consid erable interest among physicians attend ing the Good Samaritan Hospital, where the last two' members of the family to be seized by the unusual epidemic are being cared for. The Freemans live on a ranch near Highland, Or., about .16 miles southeast of Oregon City. The family originally consisted of 13. but one of the daughters succumbed to the disease. William and Adolph Freeman, 15 and 19 years old. are both at the hospital, suffering from bad attacks of typhoid. In an endeavor to enlighten .the people, several doctors yesterday questioned them as to the nature of their water supply. It appeared that, although they had been warned not to use the well water on their ranch, they still continued to do so for the sake of convenience, even though several of the family were ill. "It can't be the water," said Adolph Freeman yesterday, "because we have used it before, and have never taken ty phoid fever from It. Besides, other peo ple use it occasionally, and they haven't the fever like we have. Why. yes. they will continue to use the well; we neyer got the fever from it." . The boys are under the care of Dr. Summers, of Oregon ,'City, who believes their constitution will be a great factor In their eventual cure. But as both Mr3. Freeman and five of her children have In some manner been infected by the disease, the case has attracted consid erable comment among local members of the profession. It is said the number of victims makes a record for one family. Asylum Deserter Caught. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 25. (Special.) G. A.
