N. 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.

W. H. Hurlburt and F. 8. Morris,
who have returned from a trip to Phil

are optimistic over tha excellent pros
pects for the year's business develop
ments. Times are steadily Improving
In the east, and the Investment of east

the outcome of the national political
conventions.
"Conditions are aettlna better in the
eastern states, and the prospect la ex

litical situation, and as soon as the

stronger vote getter than Mr. Bryan In
the election next fall."
Mr Hurlburt sairi It Is eenerallv un

construction work projected by the Har

E
trcetcar Company May Be
Forced to Do Better by
City. -
Following tha action of tha franchise
committee at lta meeting last Saturday,
the members of the atreet committee
of tha council at, a special meeting
called this morning to dispose of the
franchise asked lor oy tne -oruana
Rallwav. 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

REPUBLICANS III
'V
Wise Interpreter of Political
Affairs Has Something to
Say About Relations of
One Party to Another
and Then Some.
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

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!

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

of the rapier. To them the duel la to

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

I aald: "Yet what shall those poor
