were not prepared so hurriedly that there
is no time to make them. If K C, the
double-raise baking powder Is used, the

AN OPEN LETTER
To the Voters of the First Congres
sional District.
Roseburg, Ore., Feb. 23, 1914.
Hundreds of people living in every
county In the first congressional dis
trict have never written, telegraphed
or asked nie to become a candidate
for congress. However, believing in
the principle that if a man wants
anything the best way to get it is to
go out after it, and not wait for it
to come to him, and holding to the
doctrine that under our form of gov
ernment it Is no disgrace to seek an
office at the hands of the people, I
therefore desire to say that after due
consideration and without any men
tal reservation or undue influence, I
have decided to become a candidate
for congress on the republican ticket
at the coming primary election.
Being a stranger to many of you,
at the risk of being called an egotist,
I am going to tell you something
about myself in order that you may
be able to form an opinion as to
whether I am as well qualified for
the position as other candidates who
ate seeking the office.
First, in order not to try to de
ceive yon, must cay that I have as
many faults as the average man, and
when the campaign begins to warm
up the other fellows will tell you all
about them. From first evidence I
have learned that I first opened my
eyes In a modest dwelling on a farm
near Lawrence, Douglas county, Kan
sas, more than half r. century ago
My father died when I was eight
years old, and I came to Oregon with
my mother in 1870, and settled upon
a homestead in the Yaquina Bay
country. Two years later my rnother
died, and I worked for ranchers and
farmers until I was IS, going to the
public schools durjjjg the winter
months.
I From 1876 to 1893 I wor'.sej in
the logging camps, on the sto X
I range and at steamboatlng. From
1893 to 1898 was county clerk of
Lincoln county, durini; which time I
studied law and was admitted to
practice in 1897, since which time I
, have been in the active practice.
Represented Polk nd Llncolr.
i counties In the legislature three
I terms. Appointed register of the
United States Land Olfice at Pose
burg by President Taf. December IS,
1909, serving four yei.b.
While a member of i'.tp loglelature
In 1903 I Introduced what was known
YOU HAVE HEARD the man, who, while looking at a house with a view of buying it, exclaim with
much gusto that he could build a better house for the price asked. Now, the facts are, where property is
priced right, he can do nothing of the kind. Besides, the prices asked for homes mean something besides
the house.
IN LOOKING AT A HOME with a view of buying, one must consider the land upon which the house is
built, the grading of this land, the time and money spent to make a lawn, set out shrubbery, roses, flowers,
shade trees, berry vines, fruit trees, nut trees, and dozens of different things.
BESIDE THE IMPROVEMENTS just mentioned, many places have wood or coal sheds, barns, garages,
chicken houses and chicken runs. All these cost, and should be considered by the purchaser.
DON'T THE HOUSE SUIT YOU P Well, the altering of the house, especially the inside, is a very small
job, compared with building a new house. Think of the fun you can have figuring and planning to make
the new home fulfill your idea of a home. Perhaps you have other members of the family who have their
ideas as to how it should be done, and it may be that your ideas differ. Now, right here is where the real
fun starts, and generally lasts, with sunshine and tempest alternating, until the work is complete. But the
satisfaction one gets after it is all done is worth double the trial. NYou have the house to suit your ideas,
and the home, including all improvements, has perhaps cost you a little over half what a new home of this
class would have cost.
THESE ARE A FEW THOUGHTS for the home buyer to think over. If it is your idea to build and
wait for your improvements, we have some nice building lots to show. you. If you want to buy a home with
improvements all established, and fix the house to suit, we have just such properties. THINK IT OVER!
it be a good plan for you to come in, make your wants
known, and let us find you what you want?

as the car shortage or demurrage
bill. It was defeated, and in 1?07 I
again introduced it, and being a
member of the committee on rail
roads, got it Incorporated in the rail
road commission bill, which became
a law. At this same sesr.ion I intro
duced and secured the passage of n
law providing for the directors', parent-teachers'
meetings. I also nt the
same session introduced the ,!ones
free locks bill, which became a law,
appropriating $300,000, cont'imeiU
upon the government appropriating
a like sum, for the purpose of build
ing new, or purchasing the old locks
at Oregon City, and the operating of
the same free to the people by the
government. The government hav
ing failed to appropriate aity money
for that purpose, at the 1909 session
I again introduced a bill continuing
the said appropriation of $"00,000
for another two years, contingent
upon the government making a like
appropriation to purchase the locks.
Since that time the government has
appropriated this sum and has taken
the locks over, and navigation on
the Willamette river Is now free to
all.
At the 1907 session I introduced a
resolution to provide for the amend
ing of the constitution to allow wom
en the right of suffrage. It passed
the house, but received only seven
votes lu'the senate. However, since
that time the progressive voters of
Oregon have voted to allow our
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters
the right of equal suffrage, and an
other stake has been set along the
line of good government.
During the 1909 session I intro
duced u bill which became a law,
repealing a former act of the legisla
ture granting to the Willamette Val
ley & Coast Railroad Company all
the tide and overflowed lands on the
lsea, Siletz and Yayuina bays. At
the same session I introduced a bill
appropriating $100,000 to pay the
Indian war veterans' claims, due for
use and loss of horses in the Indian
wars of Oregon, a debt contracted by
the Oregon territory and standing un
paid for over fifty years. This bill
passed the house but was killed in
the senate, but a similar bill became
a law In the session of 1913.
In 1908, upon my own motion and
at my own cost, I commenced suits
against the Wells-Fargo and Pacific
Express companies or Oregon for a
reduction of express rates. Both
these suits were decided in favor of
the- shippers, and a reduction of 20

per cent was made in the Oregon
rates.
During my term as register of the
Land Office I worked for the revision
of the public land laws in the inter
ests of the bona fide homesteaders
who were seeking to settle the wild
lands of Oregon. I prepared and had
introduced in the senate and house
of the United States a bill providiug
for an annual six months leave of
absence, for the purpose of giving the
homesteader an opportunity to earn
money with which to live on while
Improving hi3 homestead, and to al
low those yho had children of school
age an opportunity to send them to
schoool. This Tesulted in the five
months leave of absence law.
If elected I shall stand squarely
and fearlessly for legislation in the
interests of all the people, for the
improvement of our rivers and har
bors, for the deepening of the Wil
lamette river that it may be navig
able from Portland to Eugene at all
seasons of the year, for more and
better roads, for the amending of
and enacting of our public land laws
to conform to present conditions, and
for the surveying and classifying of
the lands in our forest reserves, that
the vast area of razing and agri
cultural lands may be opened to set
tlement. If the government shall finally win ,
the suit now pending against the!
Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany, I shall do all in my power to
keep these lands from being placed
In the forest reserves, and work to
the end that the grazing and agricul
tural lands may be open to settle
ment under the homestead laws.
Having Jived 43 years in Oregon,
being acquainted with the conditions
in every county of the district and
with many of the people, having
worked as lumberjack, farmed the
rich valley lands, ran an "armstrong"
mowing machine on the fertile bot
toms where the timothy, redtop,
clover and tide grass grow six feet
high; having walked nearly every
mile of the west line of seven or our
counties that border and stretch
along the Pacific ocean for 300 miles,
from Clatsop to Curry, pulled stroke

waters of the mighty Columbia when
