THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. JANUARY 13. 1911. 10 VICTOR! EXPECTED BY RUSK FORCES Supporters of House Speaker Say Strength Suffices to Rout Eaton Men. VOTE BEFORE 35 TO 22 Winning Faction Among Rrpresenta fives Sars Its Gain Will More Than Offset "Bolters" In FlghtHrr Committees. I'nless the supporters of Speaker Rusk have grossly misrepresented their strength. Representative Eaton and Ills Insurgent followers will be as badly routed In their attempt to deprive Rusk of the appointment of tlie standing com mittees of the House ss Eaton was de- . feated for Speaker. This claim of strength Is urged by the Rusk people despite the confident announcement from the Eaton camp that sufficient votes have been mustered to capture the organization of the flousa committees. In the balloting for Speaker, Rusk was elected over Eaton by Zi to S. The Rusk forces last night claimed a positive strength of between 34 and 23 In relat ing the attempt of Eaton to take from the Speaker the appointment of bis com mittees and delegate that authority to a special committee selected from the body of the House. Katon and several of his orlarinal sup porters In the Speakership Cght repre sent thst the alleged influence of Repre sentatlve Thompson. In fulfillment of an agreement with Rusk. In determining the personnel of the committees by dis regarding the baton following, has served to estrange a cumber of the mem bers who participated in the Rusk Thompson combination and elected Rusk Speaker. As a result, these disaffected members are being counted upon to Join the Eaton forces tomorrow snd wrest from Rusk the appointment of the com mittees altogether. Eaton' Power Questioned. These proteststlons of strength by Eaton are posltK-ely denied ty the Rusk Thompson forces. They aver that by reason of Eaton's attitude as a defeated candidate for Speaker In attempting to rob his successful rival of the organisa tion of tbe committees, has served to Irlve not lesa than half a dozen Repre sentatives, who supported Eaton for Speaker. Into the Rusk camp In the pending contest. Friends of Rusk admit that he will lose Ambrose and possibly Blgelow. both of the Multnomah delegation. In tomorrow's contest. In tbe Speakership right, both Ambrose and Blgelow supported Rusk. With these two Representatives. Rusk sdvoratea expect Eaton to have the votes of Clemens. Cole and Chatten. who sup ported Eaton for Speaker. This will give Katon only Ave of the 13 members of the Multnomah delegation, and. according to Rusk's friends In the delegstlon. thst Is every rote Eaton can possibly get from tht county. The loss of the two Multnomah Repre sentatives, contend Rusk's followers, rep resents the limit to which Eaton has In vaded Rusk's following of 33 as disclosed In the Speakership election. On the other hand. Rusk supporters Insist that they have added six votes which may be depended upon to oppose Eaton's move tomorrow. f thst number, live support ed Eaton for Speaker, as follow: Ab rsms. of Marlon; Belland and elnen webcr. of Clatsop; Huntington and Nett tier. of Douglas. . Itocha nan for Rnsk. The sixth accession to the Rusk fol low ing. it is reported, will be Buchanan, of Douglas and Jackson. In the Speak ership contest. Buchanan, while origin ally an Baton man, voted for Thompson, although It Is understood his vote would hsve been available If needed to elect liu Speaker. With thla reputed strength, the Rusk faction Is complacently awaiting the con test tomorrow afternoon, confident that It Is in a position to control the situa tion. When the organisation ability of Thompson. Rusk and the latter a most active supporter. Fouts. of the Mult nomah delegation. Is tsken Into consid eration, there appears to be some reason f ir their claims of strength. Having won trie Speakership. It was not to be ex pected that they would quietly sit back snd permit the enemy to rapture the organisation of the committees without making; strenuous resistance. It was naturally to !e expected that Husk's supporters would seek further to fisnrcanlae the Eaton forces even If it eatne necessary to part with some Miveied committee assignments. This, tndentably. has been dune. Promise) Draws Abrams. A beams la supposed to hare been In fieed to coma into the Rusk camp at this time through promise of chairman ship of the- committee on military af fairs, a place he was to be given in event Eaton was elected Speaker. Belland and I-elnenweber probably will be rewarded with places on the fishing commutes. If Is not known what In ducement wss held out to Huntington end Neuner. the other two Katon men now claimed by Rusk, although It Is sua feected room has been made for them on some of the desirable committees. It Is asserted by Rusk advocates that Ihey did not sacrifice the committees In return for Thompson's support of Rusk for Speaker. Rusk's friends maintain lhat the original Rusk following will dominate the important committees and rortrol the legislation of the House de spite the charges of the Eaton forces. It Is admitted by the Rusk men that ther did concede the chairmanship of only two committees to the Thompson faction, as follows: Brooke to be chair man of Judiciary and Mahoner to head the banking committee. At the same time Ruak advocates assert they re served to themselves the domlnstion of other Important committees. Fouts will be chairman of the committee on re vision of laws, and a majority of this committee. It Is said, will consist of Statement members of the House to In sure against hostile legislation aimed at the direct primary. Statement No. 1 or any of the other laws enacted by the people. Thompson, sav the Rusk forces, la not to be made chairman of any com mittee. Mnltnoroah .Not in Peril. Vigorous exception Is taken by tbe r.uek men to the charge by Ambrose, who has bolted the Rusk orcanlxatlon. that Multnomah County would not be treated fairly In the organisation of the committees If they are named by Rusk. Controverting this accusation, support ers of Rusk said yesterday that the plan of Speaker Rusk Is to give Multnomah ti' chairmanship of four Important com aMttees. namely: Abbott, on wavs and mease: Bryant, on railroads; Fouts. on revlsMia of laws, and Clyde, on edi tlon. Other members of the delegation from this county, say friends of Rusk, are to be generously provided with Im portant committee places. Chairmanship of a fifth committee, that of health and public morals, will go to CotteL also of the Multnomah delega tion. Most of tbe members of the House plan to be in Salem thla afternoon when the rival factions will assemble and prepare for the scramble In prospect when the House reconvenes at J o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Selling Not Ready. President Selling, of the Senate, said last night that he had not completed the formation of his committees, which would not be announced until Monday. There is little doubt but that Mai sr key will be chairman of Judiciary: Barrett, of Washington, chairman of revision of laws, and Nottingham, chairman of ways and means.

COUNTY BILL IS PREPARED Decision of Voters Affected Is Sen ator Wood's Plan. Settlement of county division Issuea and tbe creating of new counties by the voters of the territory affected are the objects of a bill that will be intro duced in the Legislature thla week by Senator Wood, of Washington County. Senator Wood has not worked out all of the details of the measure, but its principal provision Is that all such dis putes shall be determined by the voters concerned, either in the creation of an entirely new county or the annexation to one county of a part of tbe terri tory of an adjoining county or counties. In the recent election a dozen bills for new counties were proposed under the Initiative and rejected by the voters without an exception. Tbe vote against these measures wss especially heavy In Multnomah County, where the aver age voter feels that be should not be expected to pass on these questions, which at best relste only to local af fairs and conditions In other sections of the state and with which he Is unfamiliar. In view of the adverse vote given the new county bills In November, It Is believed Senator Wood's bill will meet with general favor among tbe legislators. Bridge Lobbyist to Act. Vice-President W. O. North was au thorised to appoint a special committee of 2S from the North East Side Improve ment Association at the last meeting to go to Salem to help secure passage of Senator Kellaher's Broadway bill to cure all defects and put an end to litigation. Mr. North will appoint this committee next Mondsy. The association Indorsed the Port of Portland bill prepared by the City At torney, and also adopted a resolution urging the congrerwional delegation to se cure passage of a bill to. wipe out defects In the Broadway bridge proceedings In Ctongresa. At thie meeting the proposed franchise of the Mount Hood Railway & I"ower Company on Halsey. East Twenty fourth and Weldler streets was also indorsed. Message of Acting-Governor Recom mends Abolishment of Conserva tion Commission of State as Being of Little TTse. In bis message to the Legislature, Acting; Governor Bowerman recom mended that the Oregon Conservation Commission be abolished and that the money appropriated for the commis sion be devoted to "some useful pur pose." Governor Bowerman would have the Legislature udort a memorial au thoritatively expressing the views of the people of the state upon retarding influences of the administrative policy of the forestry department. His refer ence to the conservation follows In full: "The question of National or State administration of our forests is be coming acute. The Eastern portion of the country, under the agitation of a former Federal officer and his sup porters, is manifesting a deep interest In the forests and other natural re sources of thla and the older Western states. The waterpower. timber, min erals and other resources of the older states have parsed Into private owner ship; these have been developed and are the basis of large commercial en terprises and the means of employing great numbers of persons and are bringing great wealth and permanent development to tbese localities, (ireat Areas Withdrawn. "During President Cleveland's Admin istration a small amount of our tim ber lands was withdrawn from entry. The purpose of these withdrawals was to protect the watersheds and stream resources of our principal waterways. Following these withdrawals, succeed ing Administrations have withdrawn great areas of our public lands, the more recent withdrawals being made upon the theory that tne uovtmracui should retain title to and control of all timber and mineral lands and avail able waterpower sites. Together with the above classes of lands have been withdrawn large areas of agricultural land. "Under a statute recently enacted, an actual " settler Is entitled to have these agricultural lands segre gated and to be permitted to make entry of them, but In actual practice we find that In some counties where more than one-half the area has been withdrawn from entry and settlement, a settler Is allowed to survey these agricultural lands and to go to great expense under the honest belief that the Government will permit him to enter and homestead the lands ac cording to the provisions of these statutes: but after a laPs" ot considerable time and the expenditure of some money, he Is advised that the particular tract he desires Is needed for administrative purposes and it Is Immediately covered by a further with drawal for such purposes. This policy on the part of the Federal Government results In a great loss to the state. It damages the state and counties by pre venting large areas from being settled by bona fide homeseekers and places upon the remainder of the community a heavy burden of taxation by requir ing the other property to support the local government and contribute the entire county'a portion of the state tax. while the taxing power is denied as to these reserves. Timber Ready for TTse. "The timber in these reserves Is largely ripe and should be manu factured. Under the present policy it is permitted to stand until It has been burned over and then sold In large holdings. In Eastern Oregon, a great area of excellent pine timber Is de stroyed each year. It Is a matter of interest to every resident of Oregon that this policy be changed, so that Umber which Is suitable for manufac. turlng purposes and Is past Its grow ing stage may be manufactured Into lumber. Land which Is suitable for agricultural purposes should, without expense to the homesteader and without delay, be vacated and made available for entry. The large sums of money expended each year for the horde of Federal office-holders wmcn toaay in fest our state and embarrass our set tlers, retards industrial growth and hampers legitimate enterprises, should be saved to the Federal Government and the state, under proper Federal regulation, permitted to administer these affairs In the interest or the peo ple of Oregon. y "Our livestock Industry bas been ham pered, and In certain localities almost exterminated, by the officious and un warranted conduct of some of these petty Federal employes. An unwise and unwarranted policy of limiting, and in some cases, preventing the grazing of livestock upon these reserves. Is re ducing the number of animals produced in Oregon each year, thereby not only curtailing the Income of the stste at POETLAND COUPLE HONORED ON 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY oyxs k ' Jy r1 r Sill's-A Safe Sale Gill's sale is a safe sale because it is bona fide. Gill's is not a sensational store; neither is this a sensational sale it is simply our usual custom to offer, once a year, an opportunity to buy good, new books of all kinds at a material reduction in price.

"We advise you to come early tomorrow. The J. K. Gill Co., Third And Alder r (Bill's Sak OfooKs Gill's sale of books is not like some other sales, because it is a sale of good books, not books nobody wants. For example, one of the specials affords an extraordinary opportunity to lay in a supply of new books of Fiction not "reprints" at just one-half the publish ers' prices ($1.50). These books of which there are over two thousand will cost you $1.18 any other time of the year, but to reduce our stock we will sell them as long as they last at only 75c the copy. And this is only one of the genuine price reductions you will find on books of every kind. Spend a few minutes here and j-ou'll be surprised to see what you can save. The J. K.

Royal and Miss Carlene Royal. 30 Twentieth street, who entertained In their honor. Three of the five children of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were at the celebration. These were Miss Eva Abba Patterson. Ernest F. Patterson and Dr. Ora R. Patterson, of Halley, Idaho. The other two children are Dr. Homer G. Patterson, of Boise, Idaho, and Rev. Elmer M. Patterson, of Pullman, Wash. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson were married In Stergls. Mich, January 9, 1S1. Mrs. Patterson was formerly Miss Welty Jane Foster, of Joseph. Mich., while Mr. Patterson was a resident of New York State.

' Big- Sections Lie Idle. "Large areas of the state now without transportation facilities are remaining undeveloped because they He In locali ties In which a great portion of the lands are under Federal control. Set tlers residing In the vicinity of these reserves are denied the privilege of neighborhood associations, schools and highway Improvements because of the blight of the present Federal policy. Brush and weeds are the products of thousands of fertile acres of un timbered land which would be the homes of Independent, happy and prosperous citizens if the present system were abolished. Our arid lands In Eastern Oregon remain undeveloped and unwatered because our portion of the great reclamation fund has been in vested by these same Federal office holders for the more favored localities of other states. "During the last Summer, great areas of timber, having a value running Into large suras of money, were burned over by fore fires, which were largely the result of the present unwise forest policy of the Federal Government. The state appropriates fMt each two years for forest lire protection and 8-000 for a like period for the Oregon Conservation Commission. This commission was created by ae act of the last Legisla ture and is made up of prominent citizens of the mate, but its policy has frequently been to enter into contro versy between factions of the Federal Government relative to Oregon resources and the conservation thereof. It has per formed little. If any. real service for the state, but on tbe other hand has added Its influence to that of the present Ad ministrative policies of the Federal Gov ernment In preventing the development of the state and in encouraging the withdrawal of our lands from entry and has accomplished nothing toward se curing qur Just portion of the reclama tion fund. It has rendered some serv ice of a political nature to those office holders with whose views snd policies its dominant members concur. Prompt Action Desired. "I would respectfully rcommend prompt action upon your part In enacting effective forert fire legislation which will assist in preventing the ravages of fires similar to those we experienced last Bummer and the appropriation of a rea sonable amount of money to assist in this work. The Conservation Commission should be abolished and the money here tofore appropriated to it devoted to some useful purpose. This Legislature should emphatically declare it to De in tne in terest of this state that agricultural landa within force reserves be released and made subject to settlement, without ex penne to settlers and without the pres ent unreasonable and unnecessary delay. "A strong memorial should be adopted, praying the Federal Government to do Justice by Oregon In the apportionment of the reclamation fund, and our Repre sentatives In Congress should be me moralized to seek the enactment of Fed eral statutes which will at once do away with the extravagance and waste follow ing the present policy of handling our resources and which will give to the state the administrative control of them under Federal authority and state en actments which will safeguard the in terests now and in future generations, and also promote the development of the state and permit the ttlement of those of the public lands which are suitable for agricultural purposes. "During the last Summer, the forest fire situation became so acute and the homes of many settlers and farming neighbor hoods were being destroyed or endang ered to such an extent that I deemed It not only wise but entirely necessary that the state should render assistance. Therefore, under the authorltv vested In me as Commander-in-Chief of the Ore gon National Guard. I called into serv ice certain organizations of that body. These men rendered notable service and protected the lives and property of a large number of citizens and succeeded In saving from entire destruction many homes. Inasmuch as this service is out of the line of ordinary employment of the members of these military organiza tions. I feel that the state is under a peculiar obligation to them, and that they should be compensated for their time; their uniform and equipment which was damaged or destroyed should be re placed and I would urge that you adopt a resolution expressing the gratitude of this state for the excellent service ren dered by these men outside the Una of ordinary military duty."

Indigestion Foul breath is one of many disagree able and distressing afflictions that come with indigestion. Below is given the formula for the treatment that Is producing such remarkable results in hospital work for stomach trouble. It la said to relieve almost Immediately sour stomach, belching, dizziness, head aches and misery after eating, and if used for sufficient time will cure the worst dyspepsia. "Two ounces essence of Pepsin; three ounces syrup of Ginger: one ounce Catandir compound. Mix and take one to two teaponfuls after each meal and at bed-time." Catandir al ways comes put up in ounce sealed packages. Any druggist should have it in stock by this time or he will quickly get it from his wholesale house.

That the dandruff germ Is responsible for nearly all the diseases to which the scalp is heir, as well as for baldness and premature gray hair, is a well known fact, but when we realize that It is also indirectly responsible for many of the worst cases of catarrh and consumption, we appreciate the Importance of any agent that will destroy its power. We are; therefore, particularly pleased to prlve herewith the prescription which an eminent scientist states he has found, after repeated tests, to completely de stroy the dandruff germs In from one to three applications. It will also al most Immediately stop falling hair and It has In numerous cases produced a new hair-growth after years of bald ness. This prescription can be made up at home, or any druggist will put it up for you: 6 ounces Bay Rum, 2 ounces Lavona rie Composee, one-half drachm Menthol Crystals. Mix thoroughly, and after standing half an hour it Is ready tor use. Apply night and morninir, rub bing into the scalp with the finger-tips. If you wish it perfumed, add half a tea spoonful of To-Kalon Perfume, which, unites perfectly with the other ingredi ents, while this preparation Is not a dye. It Is unequaled for restoring gray hair to Its original color. Caution: Do not apply where balr la not desired and he sure to avoid tonics containing poisonous wood alcohol.
