Fulton Getting Busy.
As Senator Fulton's friends have con
Jiiler1.lv predicted, Oregon's junior
member of the upper house is making
himself heard in behalf of his state.
The following special from Washington
to the Oregonian', under date of Novem
ber (i, illustrates his earnestness and
ability :
At the Kolicitation of Senator Fulton
1 'resident Kootevelt has interested
himself in the public land situation in
OreKOD, and promises to see to it that
there is an adjustment of the adminis
tration of the forestry bureau and of
the Interior Department which will be
Batisfuctory to the people of Oregon.
During a prolonged conference at the
White House today, Senator Fulton
fully explained the publio land situation
in his Btate, emphasizing the fact that
the development of many counties has
Iibhii materially and needlessly re
tarded by the reckless withdrawal of
lands for forest reserve purposes'. He
also explained the embaras6ment iu
which hundreds of entrymen have been
placed by the over-zealous and unjustifi
able methods that have been adopted
by the department iu requiring proof
on timber and even homestead entries
made in recent months. The Senator
made it quite plain that the public land
situation in Oregon is fast approaching
a crisis and decisive remedial action is
necessary to restore confidence and
irood feeling among the people.
He said that while Oregon, as a whole,
indorses the forest reserve polioy, its
people do not want all the raluable
lands included wilhin reserves, nor do
they like to have settlers and those
seeking to become settlers humiliated
by tho appersion that they are at
tempting to make fraudulent entries,
when in fact they are acting in good
faith.
After his conference Senator Fulton
.-aid lie felt confident the prevaleut
abuses would be remedied, as the i-reB-ident
intends U take the matter up
with the proper officers and insist upon
a return to conservatism, not only in
forestry matters, but in regard to all
forms of public land entries.
This probably means that before long
a large amount of the area now with
drawn will be restored to entry and
there will be a let-up in the ridiculous
catechism through which entrymen are
now put whenever they attempt to prove
up on their claims.
The assessment roll of Clackamas
county represents J9.000.000 and the
lelinqtiont roll does not excoed $4000.
This could not possibly be the case
were Hon. George Brownell one-balf as
Muck as ho is painted by some of his
jolitical enemies. Prosperity couldn't
i;iif, within smelling distance of a county
I hat harbors a man wno is the incarna
tion f all the aw fulness that is charged
.ig.ilnst tho IIou. Georpe by some of
llioso wounded birds.
Murk llanna Is Ihe most popular man
in Ohio. Ho has been the worst ma
ligned man iu tho Nation, but the
triple of his owu city and state have
ilwajs boon loyal, because they know
li'iiii. The thousands of men on bis
I'iiy-ioll are well paid and eouteuted,
iiu never go on a strike. Honest.
ilionj;htfi.i men will take uoto of thene
I'.irts and respect Mark llanna. But it
is linrdly probable that Mark will ever
be n cuudidatu for President. The idea
has taken root that he is the choice of
i lie trunts, and he Is too wise to ignore
i lie handicap, although the idea may be
'iitiitly tmmeous.
I'ongrcss convened Monday in extra
.-.'-Mou. Senator Mitchell is loaded for
llu occasion and will introduce bills as
I. 'liow: Appropriating $2,1-5,000 for
liie Lewis and Clark Fulr; au assay
olllce nt Portland; relief tor settlers oil
bn i in Sherman county; dividing
(!ioU into two judicial districts; ex
lending MUliers' .homestead rights on
poftiuuof Siloti! reservation; election
vf I'nite l Stites senatois by qualified
lectors of the states, aud niiuor bills
too numerous to incut ion. Ho will also
introduce) a bill extending the right to
suffrage to women. This can l-ardly
1 1 clasM-d among the minor measures.
MMiator . Mitchell will keep Oregon be
fore the p.ubiic gazo.

Address J. M. GARRISON, Box 335, FOREST GROVE, OREGON
George Eighmy, traveling passenger
agent of the Great Northern, from Buf
falo N. Y., was in Portland yesterday.
It wa9 Mr. Eighmy's first visit to Ore
gon and be expressed himself as agree
ably surprised to find the evidence of
devlopment and industry that he saw
here. "The people of the East," said
he, "have an entirely erroneous idea of
the West. They have been led to be
lieve that tbia country is the wild and
wooly home of the Indian and cowboy.
The great trouble is that the resources
and opportunities of this great district
have not been properly advertised
among the Eastern people. They have
not had an opportunity to become ac
quainted with the conditions here and
of course look upon the West as a
rather bad place to come. The Lewis
and Clark Fair will, I believe be a darw
ing card that will cause people to come
to this district and see for themselves
what the opportunities are. You need
but to get the people here and they will
be favorably impressed with ttte country.
The overcrowded East has many people
that would be glad to get a home some
where else, and if they can be brought
to realize the resources of this country,
they will no doubt come in this di
rection." Oregonian.
Panama;, the new republic, is rather a
tender plant aud may find it necessary
some day to appeal to Uncle Sam for
protection possibly for annexation.
Much to the credit of the leading
foreign nations is the fact that they re
gret the recent victory of Tammany in
New York. It's a mighty tough ele
ment that some of them can't con
scientiously snuggle up to.
