FOR TIME BEING
"Canned Speech" May Re
main "Canned" Until Desks
Are Clear Will Probably
. Be Put Out in Cold.
(Sperful DIiptdito The Jourml.i
'Falem, Or.. Feb.. 3. By common con
vent, owing to the rush or otner. Dust
iness, the senate yesterday afternoon
poptponed Its discussion of Senator Dan
Kallaher and his "canned" speech on the
Oregon system which had been -made
special order. The senate decided It
had betUr work than play, and the
Kellaher dynamlt was placed on the
table.
It may b removed rom this uncer
tain position at any time by a motion
SrlCKeu up By & nmjvjuij v. fcuw ww.....
but seems likely to remain where It
Is for several days while the belliger
nts are whetting their knives to a keen
dga. Monday the senate will be rushed
with business and many of the mem
bers are opposed to "starting things"
until the desks are fairly clear.
Meanwhile Kellaher is saying little,
but Is standing pat. "Let 'era come" is
nil aiuiuae. rtm expects iu nmi
foes at the gates and return thrust for
thrust, it seems likely that when the
senate has It out the 8000 word speeoh
WVii'h c.nntnr VellnJinr sliDDed Into
the record will be formally expunged
and put out In the cold.'
, Some of the: other crowd are propos
ing in addition a resolution of censure
for impugning the motives of fellow
senators. That would mean a bitter and
prolonged fight which many regard as
Inappropriate at this stage of the ses
sion when It la apparent that long night
sessions will be neoessary the last two
-weeks of the session to keep with the
business.
The main object will be accomplished
when the senators Indicted by Kellaher
as corporation tools have had opportun
ity to free their minds about him. While
previous debates on the Oregon system
have delved into the cobwebs of past
corruption and caused pointed person
alities, these will be as thin air It is
expected compared to sulphur when the
guns are unllmbered for the Kellaher
debate.
- TJnmuszled dogs are killed In Wallowa
county towns to prevent any possible
ftpread of rabies as a result of being
bitten- by coyotes in the extreme north
western part of the county. AT number
of canines have already been slain as a
safeguard against them biting anything
else.
This report was brought to Portland by
R.'H. Jones, publisher of the Wallowa
Bun who Is In the cltjr for a few days
on easiness. Mr. Jones slso brings the
news that the coyote scare Is not as
serious as some reports would Indicate.
- "No doubt the coyotes are dangerous,
and they have killed ' some sheep and
cattle," said Mr. Jones, "but the number
Is small compared with the size of the
herds. However, it will be a great good
for the country to get rid of the brutes
that make night hideous by their howl
ing and leave the lone settler In fear of
wing aiiacaea oy an animal gone mad.
"The forest service has 12 expert
marksmen In the field exterminating the
pest and the stockmen are doing all they
can In aiding them. Each dead coyote Is
worth about $7 because while the county
pays a S3 bounty, the State Woolgrow
ers' association pays $l.fo and the hide
tells for about $2.60. How many have
been shot or trapped during the win
ter will not be known until March when
the scalps will be turned over to the
County for the bounty."

In any case under the law of freehold.
The contractor could not take anything
but the lnalneratlng apparatus, and it is
altogether Improbable that the contract
or would remove the entire plant even
If that were permissible under the terms
ef the city's contract with the con
tractor. The expense would be too great.
Thus, if the city had no bond at all
to look to It would still be safeguarded."
Members of the city health board,
Crematory Superintendent Napier. City
Health Officer Wheeler and other olty
Officials are now confident that the new
crematory will never fulfill the require?
tnents demanded of It ,
. When asked what action the health
board would take If the two weeks' test
on which the contracting company en
tered yesterday proves unsuccessful, the
mayor would not say, further than re
peat that the bonding company would
be notified. It is believed that the new
plant will have to be remodeled. The
city has the right to do this remodeling
$f necessary.
City Auditor Barbur yesterday ordered
the workmen employed regularly by the
city at the new plant to be paid Tor their
labor during January. He refused to
audit all other bills Incurred by the
operation of the plant He has asked
City Attorney Grant to submit an opin
ion relative to he legality of claims
that have been made for the month of
January and which have not been ap
proved by the auditor befause of the
fact that the cost of burning garbage
during the month was more than double
the coBt guaranteed by the contractor.
The City attorney said today that he
would not be able to give out this opin
ion for some time, owing to the great
amount of work he has on his hands

California Senate Votes to
Submit a Sort of Refer
endum Amendment.
(Pnlted Prwi LraMd Wire.)
Sacramento, Feb. 3. After the most
bitter debate of the session in the state

submitting to the people the Question
of dividing sessions of the legislature.

that the legislature shall convene every
two years for the period of 30 days,
during . which time all bills must be

131,939 feet
"Washington and British Columbia
mills shipped less In 1910 than in 1909,

OPIE READ SEES
IN OREGON MISTS
A RACE OF POETS
Big Man Literally, Also Lit
eraturely Ought .Himself to
Live in This Dark Land of
Inspiration.
Ople Read 'sees In the north Paclflo
coast country the hope of America
so far as poets and poetry are con
cerned. The author of "A Kentucky
Colonel" and "The Carpetbagger" ar
rived this morning from his home in
Chicago -and will leave this afternoon
for the south, where he is bound for a
lector tour.
Mr Read is about as big s man as
one is apt to see In the course of a
morning's stroll. He pat before the
fire in the Hotel Portland lobby this
morning reading his paper, and loomed
above all the other men about him.
When he stood up his size was still
more noticeable. In Chicago, where he
lives, and in every other place where he
has visited and gathered a few congenial
souls about him, he is known as on CI
the best story tellers there Is in the
world today.
It is because of the Oregon fogs and
mists that Read believes the north
coast country holds the hope of Amert-
can poetry in its lap.
Poetry Is found in a land where it
Is foggy and cloudy and rainy In a
country where people sit indoors a part
of the time and think. Now, there Is
no poetry In a land where you can get
on a hilltop and see the landscape lor
scores of miles in a brilliant light
There can be no delusion, no imagina
tion about it But where the view melts
Into a mist, where the tops of the trees
merge Into a cloud, you will find the
imagination that Induces the writing of
poetry. It has been true the world over.
The English have produced great poets.
The Germans could not write poetry, so
they sang great songs. The Frenoh
could do neither, so they have become
the great Conversationalists of the
world.
"The" thing that makes, it hardest for
Americans to become a race of poets
is the fact that we, as a nation,' were
born civilized. We havn't any myths.
We are historically accurate from Ply
mouth Rock to Uncle Jo Cannon."
Mr. Road is working on a new book
a story of Chicago life that he says he
thinks will show the atmosphere of Chl-J
Cago. He Intends no Joke by that he
thinks It will conyy the life nnd in
spiration of the Windy City. Every city
has its peculiar characteristics, he says
for instance he believes you can do
one-third more work In Chicago than
you can in St Louis. Tou could never
write poetry in sunny Denver that would
amount to much but it will be written
out in this particular nook of the woods.
luere is one other thing that Opie
Read feels keenly about Portland and
that 13 the "murder" of the trees.
"I know it's necessary to have lum
ber," he said, "but I hate to see these
splendid trees killed to make It. To me
it is a crime. Some day they will have
a substitute for lumber, but that day
the trees will be gone. And people will
say, 'Why didn't we let our trees live
and use this stuff before T But then, of
course, it will be too late."

RAILWAY POSTAL
CLERKS DENOUNCE1
THE DEPARTMENT
Association Member Calls the
Officials at Washington la
Lot of Boneheads Griev
ances Are Pigeon Holed.;
"They are a lot of boneheads in the
postofflce department at Washington,
and they do not know what they are
doing. It is not tho conservative ele
ment n the Railway Mail association
that has caused th present conditions,
but the department Itself." .
With, this attack, Oliver De Horty, a
member of the Railway Mail association
of clerks, expressed his sentiments at
a meeting of railway mall clerks held
this afternoon In the postofflce build
ing. John C. Myers charged directly
that the conservative clement was re
sponsible for the existing conditions
and strongly urged 'that radical steps
be taken at once to bring the grievances
of the association before th postofflce
department at Washington.
Alleged abuses of the railway mall
clerks by the postofflce department
were aired In the meeting. One was
that rules prevent a railway mall cleric
from approaching a congressman and
telltnr him of his rrievances. but he la
compelled to report to the superintend
ent and the clerk thereby feels that any
alleged abuse is thus pigeonholed, as it
falls to reach th fountain head the
government.
Long hours and little time allowed
for rest, were also attacked. It was
argued that the clerk is compelled to
work a straight eight hours while' on
the road and thon is compelled to study
and prepare his slips at home after he
has finished his run, allowing little
much-needed recreation.
Economy, to 'the detriment of the
clerks, was also named as one of the
grievances which the clerks wish cor
rected. The clerks express a lack of confi
dence In the present officials of the
association und urge that some action
De tasen mat tneir wrongs be righted.
A lively discussion .arose ever the
methods employed by George A. Wood
editor of the "Railway Postofflce," the
official paper which is published at
Portsmouth, N. H. By a rising vote
of 14 to 2 It was decided to discontinue
the paper for the reason that it did
not express the true sentiment of the
railway postal clerks. Wood was open
ly charged with being a tool of tho
government in that tne articles which
he published did not take the side of
the clerks nor did the columns of the
paper set forth the true conditions un
der which the clerks are laboring. An
drew B. Kidder, president of the as
sociation, acted as chairman. Sixteen
members were present.
Delegates to the thirteenth annual
convention of Railway Mail Clerks, to
be held at Portland, March 24-26, were
nominated, to be elected March 10. The
nominations wre: Clerks Armstrong,

One of the. Charges Against
Evelyn Arthur See Seems
Without Foundation.
(United Preu Leaned Wire.)
Chicago, Feb. 8. Federal officials
who expected to bring Evelyn Arthur
See, founder df the "Absolute Life" cult,
to trial on charges of bringing Hazel
Banner to Chicago for immoral purposes
are all at sea as to whether such a per
son as Miss Danner ever existed. A
house to house search of La Fayette,
Ind., has failed to reveal anyone by
names Hazel Danner or Gsorge E. Dan
ner, whom Attorney John F. Rosen said
h represented when he filed suit for
$100,000 against Bee. The only Danner
located in La Fayette was a Captain
Danner, who declares that he has never
heard of George E. Danner; that he has
no brother by tnat name, and that if a
girl named Hazel Danner ever lived In
La Fayette he never heard of her.
See swears he never heard of Hazel
Danner, and children rescued at Seo's
"commonwealth" claim she never lived
there. The government officials admit
they are completely at a loss.

HAZEL BANNER IS
MOT TO BE FOUND
JUAREZ In PANIC , ;
AWS ATTACK
OF REBEL FORCE
General Advance of Orozco's
insurrcctos Expected at
N i ghtf all Reports Forecast
Revolutionary Victory.
(Tjnlted Prei Leased wlre.V
El Paso, Texas, Feb. 8. Momentarily
expecting an attack from tho revolu
tionist army under General . Pasqual
Orozco, which Invests it on the south,
Ciudud Juarez, across . the Rio Grande
trom El Pasol ihle afternoon Is on th
verge of panic, 't he shutters of nearly
all the houses are closed, business Is
suspended, the streets - are filled with
refugees and over th bouse of every
American resident who has not . fled,
the Stars and Stripes float as a measure
of " protection In the assault that may
oom at any hour.
That th attaok will certainly oom
on Juares before sundown Is the belief
of Abraham Gonzales, provisional lnsur
recto governor of the state of Chihuahua,
who from his headquarters here, Is be
lieved to be In communication with
Orosco by means of relays of couriers.
Gonzales says Juarez will fall within
24 hours after the attack of Orosco Is
delivered.
Failure of the revolutionary ohlef,
however, to get warning of his attaok
to the foreign consuls of Juares may
possibly postpone the assault for a few
hours. Orozco's first messenger, under
a flag of truce, was captured by the
federals and his warnings never reached
their destination. His desire to Comply
with all the forms of international
courtesy may. It is believed. Induce
Orozco5 to refrain Trom his attack, until
he van be sure all the consuls hav been
notified.
Orosco's Plans Wot Xsows.
Just what disposition ,r Orosco has
made of his forces Is not yet known
In Juarez. Over the country to the
south, where he is operating, a dens
haze lies today, effectually masking any
movements he may have mad a At
last positive reports the .main body of
his force was still near Samalayuca,
but probability Is lent to the theory that
other forces of Insurrcctos are near the
city, by the capture today of three ln
surrecto cavalrymen by the Twenty
third United States infantry, while they
were scouting at Elizaro, 20 miles down
the border line.
Fears of the federals that the rebels
may also be advancing to the siege of
Juarez from Sonora are also evident. A
detachment of federal cavajry is en
camped west of the city, apparently to
contest the passage of any revolution
ists from that province who' might
swing around tho Sierra Madera moun
tains In the effort to deliver a flank at
tack.
Latest advices from the south re
ceived by the Mexican federals in Juarez
were that reinforcements of several
hundred mounted men had come up from
southern Chihuahua and had joined
Orosco's force near Samalayuca.
Attempts to Seller J a res.
Realizing the danger to the federal
cause if Orozoo. take Juares, desperate
attempts are being made by the Dlas
government to get men to its relief.
One such attempt failed today. Gen
eral Rabigo trlod to get through the
lnsurrecto lines with about 250 men
from Casas Grandes, but is reported to
have been, driven back after a hot skir
mish with the rebels. Another federal
forco from Sondra Is reported to have
been met and defeated by the rebels
west -of the Sierra Madera Realizing
that a serious clash is due at Juares
within a few hours, the United States
government today ordered a company of
troops from Fort Sam Houston here to
assist the Fort Bliss troops now on duty
in patrolling: the border to enforce neu
trality. The Texas rangers and the na
tional guard of the state also will be
pressed Into service to aid in case they
are rouna necessary,
To render first aid to the wounded in
the expected battle, Red Cross compa
nies are being organized here, and the
El Paso hospitals have prepared to care
for the wounded of both sides.
Can Tsk Juarez at Flessnr.
That General Orozco can take Juares
at his pleasure Is asserted here today.
In the besieged Mexican town there are
only sbout $00 federal troops, and som
of them are believed to be none too
loyal. About 200 federal troops at
Casas Grandes are reported to be try
ing to make a Junction with the forces
hre.
On the other hand, Orozco Is reported
to have nearly 1000 men outside Juarez,
and reinforcements of 400 men are re
ported to be on the way to Join him,
after a campaign in the interior of Chi
huahua. It is believed her this afternoon that
Orozco will' make a definite move of
some kind before night. With the rail
road andt the telegraph lines to the south
in his hands he is undoubtedly in com-,
mand of the situation, but there Is also
no doubt that every hour that passes
will be to tho advantage of the federals,
who, by forced marches, may be able to
harass the rebel rear unless all means
of communication along the line 'of th
Mexican Central railway has been cut
tit by the revolutionists.
Tho expectation this afternoon la that
Orozco, If his demand to, surrender is
refused, will lead an assault on Juarez
about sundown.
OROZCO DESCRIBED
AT A SAFE DISTANCE

capturing Juarez, is the youngest and

Interesting descriptive article by Frank
A. Arnold on the empire of the Pacific,
and in which Portland figures very
prominently.
A number of very fine views, show
ing Portland homes surrounded by roses,
illustrate the article. In speaking of
Portland, the writer says: "Portland Is
essentially an eastern city, substantial,
conservative, with enough resident
wealth, as'hns often been said, to. stand
by Itself, regardless of what might hap
pen W ttfo rest of tho country. There
are those who feel that this sentiment
has In a measure retarded the larger
growth of the city: however this may
be, one thing Is certain .he 'spirit of
conservatism hns resulted In rooting
and grounding the city of Portland so
that its stability can never be shaken
by any stress of financial storm.
"The last five years have marked a
noteworthy development in the city of
Portland. Its business impirtance, from
Its admirable) situation on th Colum
bia river, has long been appreciated; but
the development of the water front of
Portland has been slow. Not until quite
recently have the Peninsular lands, so
called, been Improved; but today one
finds, In tho place of miles pf unim
proved water front, one manufacturing
concern after another, wUh a contingent
res! estate development which has re
sulted In th springing up like magic
of modest and even pretentious homes
for employes and those associated with
these enterprises.
. "Portland has magnificent opportuni
ties for suburban development and Is
improving them splendidly."
