The Diamond O draws four feet, of

to force the barge of oil over the obstruc

Is owned at Oregon City and frequently

the fact she draws .mora than a root

prehended on the British tramp Ku

aways were found.
It Is said that 10 officers searched
the Kumerlo four days before the first
Celestials were found, and not satisfied
that the steamer was free of the aim-
mond-eyed strangers, they suggested
that the Portland officers continue the
quest here. The Chinese. It Is said,
had lived for some time In tha close.
Ill-smelling quarters, and the fact the
tramp haa a crew of more than (0
Chinese Is believed to have proved a
handicap for the officers. The Ku-
merlc entered yesterday at the Custom
house and In the afternoon began
working lumber for the Orient.

administration plans at this particular
. - . ..mrmm.r a
time. Is the "RooseVelt Induence ac
countable In any degree? Thero are
reasons for believing; an affirmative
answer to this question is correct.
When Senator Crane went West, to
"see" Mr. Ballinger, he also sounded
for general political sentiment. It did
not take him long" with his trained
powers of observation to get to .the
bottom of the situation.
Returning to Beverly he reported
conditions that verified the previously
existing feeling of danger all along
the line. Aldrichlsm, Cannonlsm and
Ballingerism had the West all torn up
and the West was waiting with un
mlstakable enthusiasm of expectancy
for Theodore Roosevelt to arrive on
the ground and speak on vital Issues,
Matters have been precipitated more
or less, perhaps, by the latest confer
ences at Oyster Bay between the ex
President, ex-Secretary of -the Interior
Garfield and ex-Forester Pinchot, and
the announcement that these three in
divlduala would appear In the West to
gether during the Congressional cam
paign.
BALLINGER IS SEXT NO WORD
Secretary Says Taft Has Xot Asked
for His Resignation.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 13. "I
know nothing about any resignation
and do not Intend to resign. I have
denied any such Intention, and still
deny It." said Secretary of the In
terior Ballinger tonight to an Associ
ated Press representative. "The Pres
ident has never given me any intima
tion that ha desired my resignation,
and until he does I will continue as
Secretary of the Interior."
That was all that Mr. Ballinger
would say respecting his reported res
ignation. What are you going to do with Mr.
Newell T' asked the Associated Press
man. '
"I have nothing to say about Mr.
Newell for publication," replied Mr.
Ballinger.-
Mr. Ballinger and his wife arrived In
this city this evening at 5:30 and were
received by President Dalxell, of the
Chamber of Commerce, and W. W.
Patch, project erglneer of the Klam
ath reclamation project. He took din
ner at the Livermore Hotel.
Tomorrow morning Mr. Ballinger
will go o the Klamtah agency land
ing, on I p,ier Klamath Lake, and from
there wili take an automobile to Crater
Lake, retu'ning tha same day. .
Mrs. Ballinger will stop at Eagle
Ridge on the way up the lake -and
await his return. Monday the enter
tainment officials will take Mr. Ballin
ger over the Klamath project, which
will conclude his Inspection of the
work that is being done In this part
of the state.
Secretary Ballinger and party will leave
Tuesday morning for San Francisco and
will go from there to the Toseralte Park.
OTHER CHANGES EXPECTED
Knox and Wlckersham Slated Next.
Politicians Believe.
NEW TORK. Aug. . SpecIal. From
a man high In the councils of the Re
publican party, an intimate friend of
both President Taft and colonel Koose-
velt. It was learned today that the re
port about the President s Intention to
throw over his old advisers. Aldrich.
Hale and Cannon and practically to dis
miss Ballinger. was true.
"The news is Important." said this
man. "but it is not as surprising to me
as to the public. I have been expect
ing it"
That President Taft had decided finally
to get rid of his old standbys was so
sensational that the majority of the poli
ticians who could be found to discuss
the subject today were almost too sur
prised to talk about it at all. It was
generally agreed that It was one of the
aav ' a . m a..
1 -
most momentuous moves in the recent
history of the party and an astonishing
change of front. The effect, it was
agreed, will be far-reaching.
While there was no doubt that Aldrich,
Hale, Cannon and Ballinger and their
friends would not give up without a
struggle, such action on the part of the
President would tend to bring the two
wings of the party rapidly growing apart
of late into harmonious relations, it was
said.
The passing of Ballinger. Aldrich and
Cannon undoubtedly would be followed
tn a -short time, it Is surmised, by the
resignation of George W. Wlckersham
and Philander C. Knox, from the Cabinet.
ROOSEVELT . IS INTERESTED

OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Aug. 13. Ex
Presldent Roosevelt had no comment to
make today on the dispatches from Bev
erly, Mass., to the effect that President
Taft had decidad on a readjustment o?
conditions within- the inner' sphere of
the Republican party.
He was greatly interested in the re
port that Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon would bo relegated to lesser po
sitions in the councils of the party, that
Secretary Ballinger would retire on Sep
tember 15, and that Senator Crane woufS
assume a mora important role In his re
lations with the Administration.
