Government Would Recover Ai-renge
ft i m . Vr 1 TX-. ,
Stolen by IJenson-JIydo Rintt
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. After six
years spent in bringing to trial tho
members of Benson-Hyde land fraud
ring of San Francisco, and the ulti
mate conviction of two members of
the ring, the government is going to
turn its attention to recovering title
to 250,000 acres of public timber
land which, for the most part, was
fraudulently acquired by the convict
ed men an their employes and con
federates. In this annual report,
Laud Commissioner Dennett reviews
the Renson-Hydo case, and adds:
"Tharo are in all about 1,200 se
lection embracing about 250,000
acres of flnnd Involved. Of this num
ber something more than 200 have
passed tho patent, and suits are now
pending In the various United States
courts to set osido the patents on
tho ground that they were obtained
by fraud. There are probably 200
selections based on school lands in
forest reserves In Oregon and Cali
fornia wherein tho records do not
disclose any active participation on
tho part of Benson and Hydo or any
of their known associates. Those
cases will be immediately investigat
ed, and If it Is found that thoy are
free from fraud tho selections will
bo passed to patent, if otherwise regular.

FOES OF STATEMENT NO. 1.
.PJaii to Prevent Chnuihcrlnin Being
Elected to U. S, Senate.
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 9. Sup
ported by an organization now form
ing, Senator V. W. Fulton will at
tempt to prevent Governor George
E. Chamberlain from being elected
to the United States seriate, to fill
the vacancy caused by the retire
ment of Fulton, March 4. There aro
enough Statement No. 1 members of
the legislature to elect Chamberlain
If they keep their pledges, but ef
forts are being made to induce a suf-
flcient number to prevent tho elec
. tlon of Chamberlain.
I Tho argument of Fulton and his
.followers is that tho legislature
' should elect a Republican to tho sen
ate instead of a Democrat. Although
Chamberlain defeated Cake, who de
feated Fulton In tho primaries, for
tho popular vote, tho Fulton people
I assert that when Taft carried Oregon
lit proved that the people repudiated
'their votos of Inst Juno for the Dem
ocrat.
Various mothods of bringing about
tho defeat of Chamberlain aro under
discussion. One plan favorably con
sidered is to have tho Republicans
lu the counties which did not go for
Chamberlain to prepare a petition
urging their senators and represon
tntlves to voto for a Republican

President Roosevelt Sets No
vember 26 As Day to
Give Thanks.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Tho
president has issued tho annual!
Thanksgiving proclamation, setting
apart Thursday, November 2C, as "a
day of thanksgiving and prayer."
"Year by year," declares the pro
clamation, "this nation grows In
strength and wordly power. During
the century and a quarter that has
elapsed since our entry Into the cir
cle of independent people we have
grown and prospered in material
things to a degree never before
known, and not known in any other
country. The thirteen colonies which
straggled along the seacpast of the
Atlantic and were hemmed in but a
few miles west of tidewater by the
Indian haunted wilderness, have
been transformed into tho mightiest
republic which the world has ever
seen. Its domains stretch across the
continent from one to the other of
the greatest oceans, and It exercises
dominion alike in the Arctic and
tropic realms. The growth in wealth
and population has surpassed even
tho growth In territory. Nowhere
else In the world Is the average of
Individual comfort and material well
being as high as in our fortunate
land.
"For the very reason thus abound
ed, we owe to the Almighty to show
equal progress In moral and In spiri
tual things. With a nation, as with
the individuals who make up a na
tion, material well-being Is an indis
peiisible foundation. But the foun
dation avails nothing of itself. That
life is wasted and worse than wasted
which Is spent in piling, heap on
heap, those things which minister
merely to tho pleasure of tho body
and to the power that rests only
on wealth. Upon material well-being
as a foundation must be raised
tho structure of tho lofty life of the
spirit, if this nation is properly to
fulfil Its great mission and accom
plish all wo so ardently hope and
desire. The things of the body are
good, tho things of tho intellect bet
ter, but best of all things of the
soul, for In tho nation, as in the in
dividual, in the long run it is char
acter that counts. Let us, therefore
as a 'people, set our faces resolutely
against ovil arid with broad charity
with friendliness and good will to-
,.,
waru uii iiiun, uul wua iiuihiii;iiiiib i
determination to smite down wrong
strive with all tho strength that Is .
given us for righteousness in public
and In private life."

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 9. When
tho American Federation of Labor
met in annual convention hore, tho
popularity of Gompers was attested
when ho rose to call tho convention
to order. Tho delegates applauded

In response to tho address of wel
come, Gompers was frequently ap
plauded as ho told of tho progress
now being made by tho labor move
ment and the delegates were espe
cially enthusiastic when Gompers de
clared that tho efforts of tho federa
tion aro not only for tho benoflt of
union labor but for tho organiza
tion of labor and for all humanity.

of votes oach dologatton should have.
