M . 1 llii I iltilli Hell Gate, Entrance to a Wonderful and All but Unknown Scenic Rerjon on the Lower Rogue Rlrer. (Special Dispatch to Ti Josrnnl.) Grants Pass, Or., March 28. There Is a section of Rogue river, covering a distance of some 60 miles and extending from Hell Gate to the confluence of the Illinois with the Rogue, that has bean pronounced the most picturesque and wildest In all Oregon. The government. at a vast expense and under the super vision of the forest service officials, is now building a trail down the Rogue through this territory. This will be the first beaten track ever built across It and It will open a region that Is prac tically unknown, a region of mountain forests, deep canyons, grassy plateaus and towering crags. Several miles of the trail Is already completed and It 4&J Deing pusnea aown me river as lasi as a crew or ii men can Duua it. as It hangs to the rocky precipices directly over the river, it is necessary to blast It out foot by foot. This trail will be great convenience not only to toe forest rangers, giving them a much shorter route to the reserve of the lower river, but It will afford a much shatter mall and pack route for the ranchers and miners of Curry county. -"Hen Oate la but the entrance to a long series of Hell Gates," declared one of the forest men who has been at work on the trait "Hell Oate la well named, but the same name could be aptly ap plied to all of Rogue river from Gallce on down to the mouth of the Illinois. It has the White Horse rapids of the Tukon beaten ten to one. There is a winding stretch of about 40 miles from Qallce, through which the river passes, that Is an uninhabited wilderness. Bear are as plentiful down there as hogs In a corn country great, big fellows they sre, too black, brown, cinnamon and a few sllvertlps. A man doesn't need to hunt bear down there the bear hunt him. Throughout Its entire lower course the Rogue Is one continued cat aract. It cuts a deep and tortuous slit through the Coast mountains. At one point the rock-walled banks tower fully 2,000 feet above the river and the waters are confined to a narrow channel but to feet in width. Down In that cunyon and looking from the level of the water, the stars are visible till 10 o'clock and sppear again at S. It is like looking up from the bottom of a deep well. At another place In that region the river makes a long detour, circling about and coming back within a stone's throw of its original course, much like a railroad winding down a mountain. An impene trable, rock barrier hurls tbe Rogue aside and prevents Its cutting through on the shorter route." A railroad route has been surveyed down Rogue river to the sea, and should the line ever be built, which It no doubt will some time In the not distant fu ture, as thin Is the only natural route Into the rich agricultural, stock and mining region of Curry county, it will be one of the most scenlo routes in all Amerlcn. It easily rivals the famous Columbia river ncenery, or the Royal Gorge of Colorado. Pli TO PASS ALORICH BILL i " 1 1 1 Republican Members of Com mittee Expected to Shelve Fowler Measure.

Washington, March 18 Although the house leaders have not announced what program . they will follow to put the AJdrlch currency bill through. Republican members of the com mittee on banking and currency are shelving the Fowler bill In favor of the Aldiich measure. desDlt the fact that they have favorably re ported the Fowler bill to the house i'or this reason Speaker Cannon at pres ent favors the regular procedure of re ferring the Aldrlcn bill to the commit tee on banking and currency.

Those Republl bill cans who Want the Aldrlch put through at all hazards take the position that there Is really no conflict between the Fowler and Aldrlch bills as the Fowler bill provides for a complete revolution in tne currency system, while the Aldrlch measure Is Intended merely as a remedy for a crisis. They argue, therefore, that there will be no trouble In persuading the committee on banking and currency to substitute the Aldrlch for the Fowler bill.

' LITTLE BOB IS GAINING (Continued from Page One.) lewla H. Heed is tne secretary LaFollette Republican club of Portland and already he has sent out a vast ntim- Der or circular letters to airrerent parts of the state in the Interest of the can didate. Up in Washington more than two tons of first-class mall telllnr nt LaFollette's merits have already been sent out and In Oregon the same policy hi Da pursneu. In preaching the LaFollette Dronn- sanua in urejeun mi worn or mm Wis consin senator in regulation of the rail roads is being made the chief point upon which to gain the support of the Oregon vote. The faot that Senator L.aonett has at an gmes worked for the people as against the Injustice of raurpaa corporations 1 being used In winning over the voters of the eastern and central parts of the state to the La Follette banner. From many Indications the efforts are meeting-with success. It la but a short time now until the state convention which Is to be . called by Chairman Westgale for some time near April 14.' Within a few days there fore the leaders of the LaFollette move ment will come out from under cover and begin to battle In the open for the control of the convention. Whether they will be able to win or not is a ques tion; they have ihad the advantage of a tenth of aood hard work. whll th Taft force in the state have not vet begun "to organise.

Adams, one of the Bourn wing of the Multnomah county dele cation in the last leclslature, and th manager of the Baggage and Omnlbu Transfer company of Portland, wants to be postmatser to succeed John Mlnto, now holdlnir the office. For some time past it has been ru mored that Mr. Adams was looking- with longing eyes at the big front office In the Federal building whore Mr. Mlnto transacts his business and entertains his visitors. This rumor has been slow- lv Knrfn.Hno- until now It has Dermeated the rmstofflce force, the members of which are now speculating whether Mr. Adams will have his wish. A Dark Horse. It is understood that Mr. Adams Is not yet an open and avowed candidate for the office but Is rather in a recep tive mood. He is also looked upon as a dark horse with a good show. He has luiifr been closely associated with Sena tor Bourne both In a business and po litical way. Senator Bourne Is one of the heaviest holders of jBtock in the Bag gage and Omnibus Transfer company of .which Mr. Adams Is manager. The two men stand more In the relation of partners in a business way than other wise. Politically Mr. Adams has been one or Senator Bourne s most raunrui sup porters. He did great service for the senator durlmr the campaign of 1B06 and stood In line at tho head of the Hat for him In the legislature. He worked faithfully for tho organization of the legislature in Bourne's interest at the last session in order to guard against the whispered treachery against the Statement No. 1 nominee, which was rife at the beginning of the session. John B. Coffey was a candidate for thu nostmatsershlD and made applica tlon for the appointment. When he fiied his application he received a short note rrom tne senator saying that the document had been received and plaotu on file. Since that time Mr. Coffey has flopped on the Statement No. 1 question and has taken John Drlscoll with him. Adams, however, has stood firm bv his chief and ns a result Is expected to bo rewarded by tho appolntmenb formerly aought by Mr. Coffey. REPUBLICANS ill L CONVENTION Idleman and Wcstgjatc Will Exchange -Formal Be quests and Ultimatums. TRAVELERS THANK STATE OFFICIALS Protective Association Hand Bouquet to Board for Mo Allister's Appointment. Members of the Travelers' Protective association decided that politics should not enter Into the affairs of tbe organi zation at last nlght'a meeting at the Ho tel Portland. The question came up when a resolu tion was Introduced to the effect that Governor Chamberlain and the other members of the board of fish commis sioners should be thanked for having appointed one of the members of the Travelers' Protective association to the position of state fish warden. A discussion pro and con followed with the result that the resolution as first offered was changed materially. As amended the resolution is as follows: Whereaa, The state board or risn commissioners, composed of Governor Chamberlain, Secretary of State Benson lister to the office Of master fish war den of Oregon, be It . "Resolved, That the thanks of tha traveling men be extended to these gep tlemen for the recognition given them and the honor conferred upon one of our associates." The Question at Issue was whether Governor Chamberlain and the other members of the board should be thanked as Individuals and as coming from tbe association as a body. Those taking the) side that the association should take no Fart In politics won out and the modi led resolution followed.

For some time past the leaders of the Re publican party in the state have been trying to secure some expression from State Chairman G. A.

M Idlemnti. chairman bf the City and county Republican central commit tee of Multnomah county, will make a written request of the state chairman tomorrow, asking him to make some an nouncement of the date of the conven tion. It is believed, however, that Mr. Westgate will be compelled to be gov erned by the Instructions of the national committee which has set the date of the state conventions for August 14. There is a great deal of uncertainty among the leaders as to how the dele gates to . the state convention shall be selected. Under, the primary law there is no proytsfon for the state"" conven tions. It ' is not -i known, therefore, whether the delegate will be elected by a county convention called by the ceib tral committees ; of ' -. each , 'county or whether they wtlf be chosen by the cen tral committees.
