C. Haskell Tells of Agri cultural Possibilities of ; Eastern Oregon, 'Blessed with great agricultural pos sibilities as well as mining resources, the iomeseeker looking for an Ideal location must reckon with Baker City,' said X. C. Haskell, of that city, dis cussing Baker county's future today at the Portland Commercial club. "It Is - not possible for - every section - to offer the splendid combination of In dustrlal conditions possessed by Baker county. - Mr. Haskell said tha people minimise that county's advantages In respect to variety of opportunity for the home seeker. There are fertile valleys In tha county where wheat, vegetables, and the .finest fruits can be produced and these will be conaumed by Baku City and the minlna cantos? the de mand always Insuring good prices for proaucis or tne rieia. Great natural Wealth, Mr. Haskell la ,. engaged In marble and granite quarrying, and believes Ba ker county to be one of the greatest place in Oregon for natural wealth. He said the country has been regarded principally aa a mining and livestock region, snd that its areat future lies with the development of the agricul tural and fruit industries. The min- Ing and lumbering Industries, employ ing a large number of men who , are not producers of food products. , will always furnish a market for these prod ucts grown locally, xne situation is therefore most favorable at the prea ent time for the settler who will get in and raise something for the mar kets at Baker. City. There are good wheat lands In the county, capable of producing as good crops of grain as are grown elsewhere in tha inland m- Jlre. ijaicer city stores are shipping n flour and other food products from distant places, while these products should be grown and manufactured In Baker county. Tha prospects for mining, smelting and transportation industries are first class, and Baker City ia becoming a large and Important shipping center. The proposed railroad from Baker City to Eagle valley and northward will open some fine agricultural country an well as tap the great ore bodies that lie toward the Snake river, with a steady and healthy growth as the coun try is developed ana mora population comes in. Like all the other good sections of Oregon now thinly settled. Baker county presents a field for in vestment that will yield certain and liberal profits.

Llarht A Power company, de cided to postpone action of any kind until tha committee holds Its first meet ing In July. This action was taxen in order to give the franchise committee and Oitv Attorney Kavanauah time to make an Investigation as to whether the present franchise of the company can ba ravnkad From tha action of tha two commit tees It ia evident - that the councllmen are doslrious of clipping soma of the powers or tne company graniea unaer the axlatinr franchise. Accordina to several of tha .councilman the city has practically no protection ana tne com pany has everything lta own way. Wish Definite Xnxoraatloa. - . The members believe that tha pres ent time is the best to arrive at defin ite conclusion with the company In re gard to tne respective rignis 01 tne city and company. This Is especially true as to the use of tha streets, and to mat ona a aearcning investigation will be made before the company ob tains any mora nnv Metres. me com any is asKing in- me irancnise iniro uced at the last eouncll meeting; for msny streets and removals, but before the reauests are granted the city will determine Just what streets it wants to alva. and will also out in restricting clauses which will make It compulsory upon .the company either to build an or ina tracks or give up its enure iran cnise. , Tha councllmen decided today that they would make personal Inspection trips to the various parts of the city to endeavor to learn where carllnes are most needed, as well as to try to learn what kind of service ia needed In the district which will be affected. The councllmen will further regulate the company in regard to street sprinkling. Stay Mean Double Tracks. Another point brought up at this morning's meeting waa in regard to the paving of streets where the company In stalls a single track. Often the single track la placed to one side of the street This works a hardship on the property owner on the other side In case the street Is paved because he has to pay a full abare of the paving while the Property owner on tha side on which he track Is laid haa to pay only a small share. The company will either be required to Install double tracks or pay for the same amount of paving they would be required to pa? for If they did lay double tracks or place the rails in the middle of tha street Another restrictive clause will ba In regard to Installing tracks on 84-foot streets. There Is quite a sentiment against such a proposition, and the councllmen will probably prohibit the company from doing so. although it has asked for the privilege In several in stances in the franchise introduced laat week. DETECTIVES TO FACE NEW CHARGES SOON Secretary Mcintosh haa written a let ter to the police committee of the city execulve board notifying the members of the action of the civil servleo com mission in regard to the dismissal of l'etectlves Day. carpenter, Keslng and Snow, which waa that the charges of the police committee against the deteo- tives naa not ceen sustained. Accord ing to Secretary Mcintosh this means that the detectives are once more re instated and that they are entitled to pay. Mayor Lane says that the detectives will never wear stars again and a bit ter war has been renewed between the police committee and the deposed de tectives. Just what the next step will be Is unknown, but it ia expected that fresh charges will be filed against the police officers and that they will be given another trial. The reinstatement of the detectives has led to a searching of the city char ter for some loophole whereby the ex ecutive officials of the city can dis charge them despite the findings of the civil service commission but such- no tion la not likely to result. The char ter provides that the city executive board shall have tha power to make all necessary rules tor the organisation and conduct of the police force and for the removal or auspenslon of any mem ber of the force, and finally In the same eeotlon (179) says that "all the powers, of said city connected with and incident to the appointment discipline and gov ernment of its police shall be vested In the executive board of tha city, exoept as herein otherwise provided." According to section 817 an employs who haa been discharged may appeal to the commission, and if tha finding is in favor of the employe It shall be so certified to the appointing officer who in turn is obligated to enforce It In asmuch aa - the detectives were dis charged by Mayor, Lane through the police committee of the executive board the findings of the commission in the present case have been referred to the ponce committee ana at ineir rirst meeting they will have to reinstate the aetectivea.

After one struggle terrific I am now acquainted with the truth of this poli tics In America. I ahall tall the truth Instantly to tha world, if my words do not betray tna while X writ them. These United States do have strange effeots upon : language, as all foreign men dlsoover to , their astonishment whan of pollUca they try to "speak. Many words which are honorable . and obedient word In other tongues do be come treacheroua yet Insubordinate when they ; are used for politics. Air waya it la tha "boomerang.' - Words fall ma In America, yet I bay hope to peak truth. ' At the first I ahall tell of those Re publicans. They are those Americana who choose tha president according to the orders of their leader M. Roose velt After ba did choose himself onoa more he did refuse to be president again. Those Republicans did have ex citement, with great melancholy. How hall we hold the fat office if M. Roose velt does refuse to be president moreT That was the question Republican. ' M. Roosevelt said: "Aa for me, I am not the dlotator. I nominate M. Taft Tet those people shall have the choice. If they do not take M. Taft they must take ma" ' Those neonle replied: "Tet we de mand those Roosevelt policies. Every Republican must have one office. Will M. 'Taft promise to us this policy?? M. Roosevelt said: "M. Taft Is all right I do not like to usa the big stick, yet always it la handy. Let the people choose.' Those people: "Very well! Wa de mand M. Taft" Also among those Republicans are the rich men who do not love M. Roose velt ao much aa befora Those men are ao rich they do despise to hold office, which la the great American duty. For thia they are called male factors, also oitisens undesirable. To them M. Roosevelt said: "You., male factors I Do you choose me or my pollclaer Those malefactors: "What ! your policyr m. rtooseveit; ti. Tart." Those malefactors: "Very well! Wa cnoose m. Tart - Yet all those Rennhllcana do nnt An. raana m. Tart I think, by mistake, all these Republic one grand cans hav2 not secured the fat office. In thla re public, always there is one patriot who Is ready to ba president If M. Taft is not to become the president I do not believe that office will be abol ished this year. Those Reoublican na- triots who are-eady to be president to prevent the vacancy are thrice excel lent gentlemen, yet the friends of M. Roosevelt make hard names for them because they are not the Roua-h Riders. Xhese namea I have heard: Stan-pat! nti-Rooaevelt I Mercenary! Allies! Re actionary! Becohd-story men! Senators! Conservatives! Money devils I 1 - Am Almost my neart ireetee to bear those namesl To me it Is Impossible for M. Taft and M. Cannon to avoid the duel. - M. Cannon is sneaker of the - chamber of deputies, yet all Americans call to him "Uncle Joe"! One Ameri can friend did -explain to me that M. Cannon waa the nawnbroker in vnnth. and always he lends quickly to those country aeputies. wnen one deputy is in need, he goes to Uncle Joe. This patriot has great age, yet always his blood bolls with energy to be president. To him the name of M. Taft 1s most like one trumpet to the warhorse. In that duel M. Cannon must permit M. Taft to shoot twice, because M. Cannon Is ona target ona half so large. That, to me. Is Justice. I sneak of the ahnnt. for those Americans have barbarity stllL They know nothing nothing! of the rapier. To them the duel la to kill. What cannibalism! Do hot ask me. people of the Tranea. to say what Is "stan-pat." Is imDos- lble to make translation of thia Only know this word is tha srranri tnanlt to be wiped out with blood. Also that word "reactionary" arouses the passion In America. All men do deny they are the reactionaries, yet mv colleaaiin American doea tell me all Republlcana are the reactionaries if they demand M. Taft, when M. Roosevelt haa willing ness t be demanded. I aald: "Yet what shall those poor Republicans do? They must choosa m. Roosevelt or his policy.' ma repiy: -now can tney nave bothr In arand nernlexltv I did seek tha In. tervlew with M. Taft in Waahlna-tnn To myself 1 said: "I shall now learn more than I did know befora." Diabie! That ia true, yet I know no mora after all! At the ministry of war thav aatrt- "M. Taft? M. Taft?

Instantly M. the Secretary Loeb did touch one button. To that attendant ha said: "Bring to me that map of those United States with the M. Taft Itin erary. Soon I saw this . great map. Almost It waa marked too much with the red Hnea M. the Secretary Loeb' did study It. 0 The shoulders of him did shrug ften. Patiently I waited. Many times did hear him mutter namea of Indian cttlea In those United States, with dates. Also, the perspiration did run to his oollar. Tet, after much time, he dll make the exclamation:. "Tea! Tea!
