MEDFOP.D. Or.. Sept. 58. (Special.)
With IIOO a day for automobile re
pairs, the loss of stereoptlcon slides
which he considered valueless, and two
hours behlrrrt time on his schedule,
Samuel Hill appeared before S00 cltl-
sena of Medford tonight with the
declaration that he himself furnished
the best argument he could think of
for s-ood roads In the State of Oregon
and the paasage of the II. 600.010 bond
Issue for good roads in J season
County.
"I am sorry to be late, said Mr. Hliu
-I am sorry to report absences from
my party: I am aorry that It has cost
our party In five automobiles about
1300 a day to travel over tne Oregon
roads to Medford. But I am not to
blame, the fault Ilea with the bad
roada of Oregon. You are now conaid
erlng the passage of a 81. 600.000 bond
lasue to Improve these roada In Jack
son County. Uy all means do so. I
have seen enough of your roads to
know that In no other way will you
secure the relief that the conditions
demand.
Illustrating Ms remarks with those
slides that escaped the arduous
Journey. Mr. Hill then explained the
aclence of good roads construction In
America and abroad, and pointed out
how If America had the good roads of
Kurope she would save many millions
of dollars annually.
"I don't know much about South
America or Africa, he continued. 'Out
I maintain I know something aDout
the rest of the world. I have Just paid
my first visit to Crater Lake and I
declare that there is no greater
natural wonder in the world-
rontlnulna- hla remarks Mr. Kill
said:
"The trip I have Just taken through
Central Oregon equala In acenlc gran
deur anvthtna- that thla country pro
vides, but how many people Know in
How can they know it? How can those
valleva of fertile land be cultivated!
The great trouble with the beautiea and
resources of your state Is that no one
can get to them. They are Just about
aa accessible aa the moon and they
will remain ao until you get good
road s.-
Mr. Hill paid a tribute to Governor
Weat and hla advocacy of using con
vict labor, saying he was, trying to
build good roada on one hand and goon
men on the other, and he approved
both heartily. Mr. Hill was preceded
bv R. H Thomaon. of Seattle, who de
clared that the future growth of Ore
gon did not depend so much upon Its
natural advantagea as upon the quality
of Its men and the accessibility of the
markets possible only by good roads.
Mr. Hill left Medford on the Shasta
Limited for Portland.

for a Jury and upon the case being

TABLES TURNED IN ATTACK
Caustic Reprimand to Be Adminis
tered to Government's Special
Agents in Idaho Cases Is
Asked by Youny Attorney.
BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 23. (Special.)
A sensational episode was enacted in
the Federal Court here today when an
open attack was made by Jesse B. Haw
ley, son of Governor James H. Hawley,
imon sneclal asrents of the Government,
who. he declared, are responsible for
brlno-lns: criminal charges tnrougn
s-rand 1urv Indictments against peace
ful and Innocent settlers, and asked the
court to administer a caustic repri
mand to them. Instead, Judge Dietrich
administered a quick rebuke to Hawley
and promptly turned down nts request.
The attack ot the attorney followed
tha unexnected motion of District At
torney Llngenfelter to dismiss the In
dictments Dendins: againsi james a.
and E. Roy Hanford, promlftent set
tlers of the Camas Prairie country,
charged with conspiracy to deprive a
citizen of a civil right.
The motion to quash was on the
grounds that witnesses refused to give
evidence to support the charge. The
demand that the court issue a caustic
warning to special agents who operate
In this state was lmmeaiaieiy maae oy
Attornev Hawley. but Judge Dietrich
promptly administered a reprimand for
the request on xne grounaa in it waa
highly Improper: that special agents
are a necessary part of the Government
and It was not within the Jurisdiction
of the Federal Court to Judge their
conduct.
The Hanfords were accused and' ad
mitted writing a threatening letter to.
two entrymen who contested their
claims In the Camas Prairie country.
They declare .that contests were insti
tuted to blackmail them In that the
contestant demanded a price of from
$100 to $500 to withdraw his contest
to an entry and that they refused to
do so. Special agents were put on their
tracks and gathered evidence- on which
the indictments were returned. The
Jury to try the case had been selected
and was present when the Government
moved to quash the motion and was ac
cepted. Hawley .represented the Han
fords and dared contempt of court on
his request.
