RAILROAD EXTENSION Companies Should SpQnd Surplus, Above a Reasonable Trofit, on the Building of New Lines -So Says Judge Stephen A. Lowell. (Dy a htsff Correspondent) Marshfleld, Or, Auf. 28. "Yes.

TIM win the declaration of Judge Hte lien A. Lowell of Pendlnton, who famn here to attend tlje Oregon an Idaho lieveiopment conirreaa and who hue beun elected president of the organi sation. His' speech aaaertlng that tha railwuyi may he brought to the chalk inaiK l)v luiclnlatlon. haa caused consider able runuiiifnt. In further explanation or nn attitude the Judge an Id: "It may sound radical as I atate It and Mr. Hnrrlman might .aav that I ajn disturbing bUHlneas, but tha time haa lonix when we munt assert ouraelvea and not atund helpleaa while the wealth obtained from Oregon's railroads la" be ing spent to build llnea In other atates or to enriching men who live in far off Mates. "My position la that our constitution can be amended so that after we have pro Ided for intercut, cared for the re demotion funds that have been created allowed for betterments of aervlce and all proper churges and provided a rea aonable return on the Investment, all earnings beyond shall be turned Into the atate treasury and used for tho building of new lines. I have not worked out the details, but I believe the people have the power In their own hands to remedy the conditions that are retarding the growth of our magnificent state, at the eame time enriching the men who de poll It." Judge Lowell has likewise taken i strong position on the aubiect of rail road land grants. Ha asserts that If the courts fail to grant relief under the auita broueht by the government, the constitution of Oregon should be amend ed to allow the state to exercise the right of eminent domain pay the own ers meir reasonable value and then aell In small tracts to actual settlers. He also suggested the tsnpnsltlon of taxes wnerever possible to hit landlordism, and predicted that If present conditions contlnuo the people of Oregon will adopt the single tax Idea. rig-urea on Land Grants. Judge Lowell presented figures he has obtained In reference to land grants In the three counties of Wheeler, Harney and Malheur. In Wheeler the Eastern Oregon Land company holds 49,778 acres and the Uutte Creek I -and, Livestock & number company 16,820 acrea. In Har ney the Pacific Livestock company owns Ba.ftas acres, ine (.aiirornia & Oregon I.and company 18,402, H. L. Corbett 137,011. William Hanley company 21.543. the Willamette Valley A C. M. Wagon road company 247,766 and the Amerlcnn Land & Livestock company 10,320. In Mameur the W. V. & C. M. Wagonroad company has 85,236 acres, the Eastern Oregon Land company 98,840. the Pa cific Livestock company 21.570 and the California Land company 87,975. As president of the newly formed de velopment association. Judge Lowell will push these Issues to the front. His election to the chief office emphaslr.es the fact that the new organlEVtlon Is not confined to southern Oregon and Idaho. Iind several speakers called at tention to the fact that local Jealousies are to lie sunk for the benefit of the state at large. Measures for the benefit her.

We favor the construction of a first class permanent highway finished In macadam and planking as may be beat adapted to the locality from Coos Bay to Roseburg, along tho line of the original wagon rdad land grant as far aa practicable, with special tax levies In the road diatrlcta along the line wherever they can be secured In addi tion to county and atate aid. The standard of this road ahould bo that It be made issuable at all times "of the year for modern vehicles and auto care with a maximum speed of at least 20 miles an hour for the entire distance. ITew Water Cods Heeded. This congress heartily Indorses the effort of State Engineer Lewis In his campaign to secure the enactment of a more Just and equitable svstem to pre serve water rights and establish nrnnrr distribution of water In the arid regions or mis suite. ve reeognlxo that the title In water should be as secure as the title In land and that perpetual franchises and filings unon water nnw- ers are Inimical to the development of the state. We demand further that the state acaulre tosneinn nt ail fran chises that have lapsed or have been loft unimproved and are held merely for speculative purposes. Such titles In hering In the state should be leased for power purposes and the rentals placed In the common school fund. Develop Our Waterways.

At the noon hour Jennings and his bandits, well mounted and heavily armed, appeared suddenly in tho town and rode rapidly to tha bank, whose em ployes were taken by surprise and forced to turn over all the money in hand to Jennings and his men. Tho money was put Into sacks and the rob bers mounted their horses and started at top speed for their rendeivous In the Wichita mountains. Uut they wore not to escape the ven geance of the law while Abernathy, the wolf catcher, could rattle his spurs and head a posse armed with rifles. Aber nuthy had received a "tip" that bank robbers were In the neighborhood and had summoned to his aid aome of the most noted "killers" In the southwest. among them being Chris Madsen, Heck Thomas, John Dossett und J.

Heck Thomas and John Dos sett fell dead In their tracks, killed by outlaw bullets. Two of the outlaws, Harrv Pannlll and Shorty Spencer, wore shot from their horses.

The resolutions were adopted as fol lows: State Retarded by Monopolies. This congress recognizes the fact that our state as a whole Is suffering from an enormous concentration or monopolies that control the entire rail road system of Oregon, that block the settlement of the state with enormous holdings of land grants, and prevent the natural development and utiliza tion of our water powers and we fur ther recogntzn in these monopolies the grf-ntpst obstacle to the rapid filling up of the unsettled portions of Oregon and particularly the southwestern, southern and eastern portions, with the ides of Immigration that ore coming to the Pacific const, and we realize that our utmost endeavors must be put for ward to breaking up of these monopol ies niul preventing the further exploita tions of our commonwealth by Inactive capital which bears no share of the burden of development. Permanent Hlffbway polioy Advocated. Resolved. That we favor entering upon an active policy of highway con struction bv the cooperation of the state and the counties In the construc tion of a svstem of mate highways In addition to this a system of local highways must be constructed In each countv with state aid, such highways radiating from the county seat to the undeveloped but highly productive out lvine- renlons. To this end we recom mend that county and road district taxes be levied so as to Include a proper assessed valuation of the large non-resident timDcriana Holdings ana land grant lands, together with an as sessment of their timber upon a stump age basts to assist In the construction of such permanent mgnways tnrougn tha thinly settled and undeveloped por tions of our state. Encourage Eleotrlo Roads. This congress speaking for the peo ple of western Oregon recommends the encouragement of electric railroads by every possible means. We recognize them as the most potent factors for substantial development, and the most efficient means of bringing about the cutting up of large ranches lpto small fruit and dairy farms, thus enabling a large number of people to buy and own little homes, becoming self-supporting citizens and rapidly creating Interur ban communities with all the comforts and conveniences of cities, promoting the greatest good of the largest num- S1GK HEADACHE Positively ere f these Little Pills.

Cooperate With Capital. This congresa desires to Impress on behalf of the people of western and southern Oregon a sincere desire to cooperate in every possible manner wlUi the great financial geniuses at the head of our transcontinental ra'l road systems. We realize that our In terests and theirs are mutual, that the hundreds of millions of capital Invest ed In railroad property In this state are not only In the keening of such men as E. H.

San Frnnclsco, Aug. 28. A fierce en counter with fists as weapons between January Jones and T. F. Bonnau. two mining men, in the lobby of the St. Francis hotel created great excitement last night.
