What Does it Mean?
The most powerful fleet of Ameri
can warships seen in foreign waters
will assemble in the Mediterranean
this summer. It will be made up of
more than forty vessels. The prin
cipal reason for sending such a large
fleet to Europe is a secret closely
guarded. One reason is the Presi
dent's desire to make good his threat
to the Sultan of Turkey at the time
the American warshirs were with
drawn from Turkish waters, at the
Sultan's request, after the Alexan
dretta incident. Mr. Roosevelt then
notified the Sultan that the naval
force would return in greater strength
if some diplomatic differences with
Turkey, which are still pending, were
not quickly settled.
The battle-ship squadron of the
North Atlantic fleet and her Euro
pean squadron will sail from Pensa
cola about May 1 and probably will
travel together part of the way
across. The battle-ship squadron,
which will be in command of Iiear
Admiral Barker, will consist of the
Kearsarge, Missouri, Iowa, Maine,
Illinois and Alabama. On account of
the recent injur' to the Illinois she
probably will not be able to go with
the squadron, but will follow as soon
as her repairs are finished.
The European squadron will include
the Olympia, Cleveland, Baltimore and
Des Moines. Rear-Admira! Jewell
will command the squadron on the
Olympia. The Mayflower will accom
pany the battle-ship fleet as tender,
and three colliers, the Sterling, Aba
renda and Lebanon, will be taken
I along. One or both of the supply
ships Culgoa and Glacier will carry
stores for the combined squadron.

Indicted for Setting F.ircst Fires.
Wbat is the first indictment against
the alleged perpetrators of the disas
trous forest fires which raged in Oregon
last year and the year before, when mil
lions of dollars' worth of valuable tim-1
ber went up in smoke, was made public
this morning, says Thursday's Telegram.
The indictment charges Albert Canning,
a prominent ciliien and sheepman of
- 1
Priueville, Or., with wilfully setting fire
July 21, 1903, near Davis Lake, section
20, township 22, range 8, Crook county.
to crass, underbrush and timber, and
suffering that fire to burn. The witness
cs examined before the United States
grand jury which returned the indict-1
ments were S. C. Bartrum, John Phelps I
Charles Malone, and Cy JHingham.
The place where the fire is said to be
set is inside the Cascade Range forest
reserve and the act therefor constitutes I
a direct violation of the actf February
24, 1S97, as amended by the act of May
5, 1900.
A deputy United States Marshal will
be Fent to Prineville today to arrest
Canning, who is expected to furnish
bonds for his immediate release until
Ilia arraignment and trial take place.
This indictment, although the first of 1
its kind ever returned by a United
tates grand jury m Oregon, marks a
determination" on the part of the Gov
ernment vigorously to punish those who
are yearly responsible for the forest!
fires which have almost denuded somel
of the finest timber regions in the world
of the treea which from the basis ot a
lumbering industry the like of which is
not equaled anywhere else. The fires
have done ereat damage and have re
moved more timber than all of the lum
ber mills in the Pacific Northwest.
Every year in different sections of tho
western parts of Washington and Ore
iron disastrous forest fires start, and in
an incredibly short timo are entirely be
yond control. Then there is nothing to
do but let them burn. riio result is
acres and acres of ground strewn with
charred logs, where once wero countless
thousands of fino treea.
Nothing was done intho United States
Court this morning owing to an absence
of Judge Bellinger, who had been called
out of tho city. The hearing of tho de
murrer to the indictmedt against Chas.
B. Cunningham and others for land
frauds will be resumed tomorrow. It is
also exrfected Mrs. Emma L. Watson
will appear to bo arraigned at that time.

Sciatic Rheumatism Cured.
The Republican party of Oregon, in convention assembled, con- .
gratulates the state and Nation upon the continued ascendency of Re
publican principles and policies in our National Government and the
unprecedented prosperity that has followed the maintenance of those
principles and the enforcement of those policies.
The honor of the Nation has been fearlessly and sagaciously main
tained at home and abroad, whether in the enforcement of law against
defiant corporation, in vigorous protest against outrages on Americans
in Syria, Jewish massacres in Russia and unfavorable machinations of
European powers in Asia.
President Roosevelt has redeemed his pledge to carry out the poli
cies of the party as formulated by that great statesman and revered
martyred President, William McKinley.
He has shown himself the foe of corruption in public life, the
ardent champion and wise friend of the Army and Navy, and the firm
believer in equal rights before the law to employer and employe, rich or
poor, black or white.
Under his energetic leadership the Isthmian Canal, frustrated for
a time by a Democratic President, is soon to be realized and to dis
tinguish his Administration by one of the grandest engineering triumphs
known to man.
We recognize the profound obligation under which Oregon rests
to President Roosevelt for his active and determined effort on behalf
of the Lewis and Clark Centennial, and we pledge ourselves to testify
tho sincerity of his appreciation by a rousing majority for the Republi
can ticket in June and again in November.
In this connection we especially indorse the tireless labors of Sena
tors Mitchell and Fulton and Representatives Hermann and Williamson.
We instruct the delegates of this convention to the Republican
National Convention at Chicago to vote first and last for Theodore
Roosevelt for President, and to use all honorable means for bringing his
nomination to pass.
The Delegation in Congress
For the firstime in years tho State of Oregon is represented in
both houses of Congress by a strong, harmonious, united and effective
delegation, inferior to nome from the West
Their efforts in behalf of the Nation, their party and their state
have been crowned with signal success, and we hereby express to them
our confidence and esteem and pledge them our support in their further
efforts to advance the interests of Oregon and the Pacific Coast.
Money
Thanks to the courage and wisdom of two Republican Administra
tions and four Republican Congresses, the money of the Nation has
been securely established upon the gold standard, the standard of the
enlightened nations of the world.
The per capita circulation is the largest in our history, and every
dollar of paper- and coin is as good as gold.
We commend the measures now pending in Congress, at the in
stance of Republican members, further amending the currency and
bankinglaws in the direction of safety and elasticity.
Tariff
We renew our allegiance to the principle of protection to Ameri
can industries.
The merits of the Dingley law are attested by the unprecedented
prosperity of the Nation since its passage in 1S97.
Schedules must be changed from time to time, as new conditions
arise, but when the tariff is revised it must be by the friends, and not
by the foes, of American industry.
The Trusts
We heartily commend the fearless and determined course pursued
by President Roosevelt and Attorney-General Knox toward "the trusts,
and we point with pride to the hostility aroused against the Adminis
tration among the speculators of Wall street and corporations that de
fy the law.
Obedience to the law against monopoly inflicts no hardship on any
honest industry, and the action of the President in tho Northern Se
curities merger and other cases has only served to check dangerous
speculation and encourage every legitimate enterprise.
The Philippines
Wo indorse tho policy enunciated by President McKinley and fol
lowed by Secretary Taft of "the Philippines for tho Filipinos," and wo
especially commend tho earnest and persistent efforts made by Senator
Mitchell for lower tariffs between the Philippines and tho United States.
We hold that the Philippines must be retained by the United
States for their own good as well as for a base of American influence
in the Far East, but that justice requires the least possible burdens up
on their commerce with tho United States, that they may bo cemented
to us by ties of self-interest and affection.
In tho interest of Pacific development, we demand for tho Philip
pines the same liberal and beneficent treatment that has been accorded
to Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Proud of tho history and achievements of our party, and especial
ly of the present Administration and the beneficent results that our
Nation is receiving therefrom, and particularly our old Oregon Coun
try, we confidently submit our causo to tho patriotic citizons of our stato
for indorsement, and earnestly appeal to them to show their gratitudo
and appreciation to President Roosevelt and our Republican leaders
in Congress for honoring our history and aiding in tho development
of our matchless resources.

To TKK EniTon: A a the different po
litical parties will soon have their candi
dates in the field campaigning their
rights and telliaghe taxpayers what
great thinga they may expect from
them if elected, it might be worth while
to suggest a thought or two for consider
ation. There has been a great deal of
thinking and some writing on Taxation
and Taxdodgera. What makes tax
dodgers? Isn't it because our laws are
slack ; and just aa long as we have slack
awa in regard to taxation just so long
we will have Taxdodgera.
Now the poor old laboring Taxpayers
have no avenue of escape. They are as
sessed with every thing they have.
Some blame the Assessor when in fact
his hands are tired when it comes to
getting at a man's money. The Attor
ney General has decided that an Assess

As
sessor has no law to cct at it. Now at
the rate of twenty-seven mills he is
beating the Countv out of $276 which
will have to be raised by the "old hayseeds."
But let a poor old farmer get a few
cattle on shares and they are hunted up
and assessed. Tho question ia asked,
has any resident or non-resident lot
taxable property in your charge or pos
session that should be assessed to them?
If so. Gtato what and to whom. But
there ia no use to ask a man if he has
any money deposited for ho will tell you
that you can't touch it
So you sec our laws are inadequate.
Now tho laboring class of taxpayers in
every Connty in the Stato should pledge
their candidates for Legislative honors
to enact a law compellng any member
of a bank to give tho Assessor any in
formation ho may desire aa to money
deposited of any resilient or non-resident
in the County or State. Also en
act a law compelling every person to
give in thoir monoy, notes and accounts
and if any person fails to give in their
notca and accounts such notes ami ac
counts becomo non-collectable. Then
wo would hear no more of thotaxdodger
and there would bo no more twenty
seven mills on tho dollar.
Now thia ia not a political issue but
a Taypayer's issue, pure and simple and
if you hayseeds want to stop that growl
ing, soo to it that you havo equal taxa
tion, and tho only way to get it ia by
just legislation.
