J7. (Special.) OIts the Oregon forests back to the Or-oniana. In Orea-onlana look out for Oreiron; get Orernn back to her natural resources and Oreironians behind the state and Its natural products. These are some of the things that 'William Hanley. the land klnr of Burns and Eastern Oregon, learned on his Eastern trip wtth the Governors and on his own supplemental trip of several weeks. Hardly had be returned to the state than he cam to Salem todar to go over the imitation question with State Engineer Lewis and Imbibe and Impart some Ideas as to the reclamation of arid lands In Oregon. "One of the bis; principles which Is affecting Oregon today." he said. "Is a tendency to hold the price of lands too high. We spend too much In advertis ing to draw the people to points where land Is held at eitravagant figures, when there 'should be more effort to develop the large acreages and tha first course products meat and bread. Flaaaetaa? Big Praelcsa. "Another big principle, hand-ln-band with the one mentioned. Is the financ ing of Irrigation plans. Speculators In Irrigation projects must drop the Idea of making money from Irrigation, snd must be satisfied with a fair price for the land. . "Irrigation must be put on a basis sf actual cost. Irrigation projects mast be developed as railroads; that Is, Issue a well-secured bond at a low rate, with long-time payment and good se curity. The Irrigator's horn Is like a bank, where It Is Imposnlble to deposit money and take It out faster than It la placed. The promoter demands that the poor settler pay back money the first year from raw land. Money should only be paid up when the horn Is built, and the bonded Indebtedness Is nothing as compared to. the value of the property. "I found In the East that the people there have a tendency toward being Jealous of tha West. Tbey have yet to learn, however, that we are tha biggest customer that the East can have or that the East has. They are manufacturers and are rich. Oregaa Haa Great Thane Xew. "Oregon now has the greatest oppor tunity In Ita history. Wo are getting transportation facilities nfver hoped for nor of which we dreamed. The people of the state must get behind the state with actual work and actual results. "Wo must "develop the rivers, har bors, public rosds and not talk too much about taxing producers and con structors." Mr. Hanley declares that the trip of the Governors' special was a wonder ful success, and that'll will do Oregon and the Weir much good. He says the trip to the Est Is only the start of a movement when the cities and towns on the Atlantic seaboard and the Mid dle West will send similar apeclal trains to the West. "In the East, like in the West, the small towns and the large are too much localised. People do not even know their nearest neighbors. 'When they do the greatest era of develop ment will come." he concluded. SALE OF jOPTIONS HALTS DtM-bsin Land Company Sends Word to Desert Land Board. SALEM. Or, Jan. (Special.) The tesert Land Board today received a statement from J. E. Morson. of th Xeschutes Land Company, that that company has discontinued th sal of oDtlons and had sold none sine th verbal communication to that effect of last June. The statement further said that the option blanks have been destroyed and that no further options would be sold In the future. Tne result of this means that th prospective suit to be started by th Board will be unneceesary. as It was th plan of the resolution as Instituted by the Governor to compel. If possible. tbe company to stop selling options. When member of th Board wer at Laplne. Morson told them at th time that the sal of options had beea stopped. Th Governor took th atti tude, howeve-. that no official state ment had been received from Morson to this effect, and consequently fa vored th resolution Instructing th Attorney-General to take proper steps .oward stopping the option sales.

IDAHO IS WORRIED Uninstructed Delegation May Go to Baltimore. STAND PAT ELEMENT SEEN Democracy In Gem State Is of Bryan Idea Dubois' Entrance aa Champ Clark". Manager Pnta Xer Phase on Politics. BT C. S. ARNET. WALLACE. Idaho. Jan. 17. (Special.) It would not be a wild guess at this time, nearly four months in advance of th party delegate conventions, to sug gest the probability 6f an uninstructed delegation to the Baltimore convention from the Stat of Idaho. There Is a "progressive" and a "stand paf element In the Idaho Democracy, as In the Democracy of all other states In the Union. While the percentage was strikingly diminutive, yet ther wer anti-Bryan Democrats In Idaho from and on down during each campaign he made to the last. This "conservative" political Idea ha. taken possession of a few Democrats In Idaho. They are not many, to be sure, but they are Interesting for the amuse ment they afford. This same division Is to arise before the Democracy In Idaho th coming Summer and Fall, as before the Repub licans of the state. It will become acute in the personnel of the delegation to th National Convention. i ,i . k A i rirwn In the llmellzht slight ly by the announcement made last week ly by the announcement made last wee that ex-Senator Fred T. Dubois Is to b i trsteS w?th th. Champ Clark cam- I II UllGU " . ..... r - palgn for the nomination for th Presi dency. It seem, fair to the situation from all Ita r bases to suggest that In their view, of Government affairs. Dubol. and Clark have always been of one mind. Jhere ar no Incongruities of ideas attached to the combination. Both have been strikingly progressive. Du bois left bis party (he was a Republi can until lift) because he thought h ..w aiirnB of the party of his birth steering Its castor toward "dangerous shoals." "th big rich." "combinations In restraint of trade." and all those things which bav specially attracted public attention so Intensely for th past few years. Dubois' new field serve to satisfy th most skeptical of his permanent withdrawal from Idaho politics. It serves to remove hlra (and be has con tended for two years or more that he was out of Idaho politics) from th small, pestiferous, diminutive things which have been sufficient to aggra vate a more saintly character than th ex-Senator. His leadership of th Clark forces cannot b criticised by any one. Oentlle and Mormon agree that his ability makes him specially aulted for th responsible duties attending th trust. He know, all men of National stature, and hi. attitude at home ha. not been criticised since his announce ment two year, ago that h was done with Idaho state politics. Th Democracy of th state as at present constituted Is a Bryan Democ racy. Not that they ar for Bryan for the Presidency, but that the Democracy FAMOUS HISTORIC LANDMARK DESTROYED f ..

Wil son has been quit a favorite during the period of uncertainty as to the as- surance of Speaker Clark's candidacy. The more positive assurance that Clark Is in th fight to stay, coupled with the announcement that Dubois of Ida ho Is in charge of his campaign and followed by the Watterson-Harvey epi sode, places Clark's political stock la trade well up on the quotations of pub llo speculation In Idaho. It will b remembered that eight years ago the Idaho Democracy. In con vention at Welser. sent a Hearst dele gation to the National Convention, While Hearst, like Bryan. Is out of the question with the Idaho Democracy aa a candidate In th year 1911. he Is far from being a negligible quantity In point of Influence, and his activities through his papers In the future will weigh in th balance for whomsoever he may decide to support for the Presi dency as th nomine of the Baltimore convention.
