Secretary Coming Wast.
tVhlle in the east Mr. Teal renewed
Ills pleasant acquaintanceship with the
new secretary of the Interior, Walter
Fisher. Mr. Fisher has beon one of the
most active workers In conservation
matters, having been vice-president of
the National Conservation association
end In that way Mr. Teal got to know
him very well.
In talking over mattore with Mr.
Fisher Mr. Teal ura-ed UDOn him the
importance of his making a western trip
In the near future so that ho mlpht
look over matters hero and get a first
hand view of the situation. Thla, says
Mr. Teal, the new secretary Intends to
do, although It Is unlikely ho can leave
Washington during the present session
or congress.
"The commercial bodies of Portland."
said Mr. Teal, "should Invite Secretary
Fisher here so that he may guln a
proper understanding of western condl
tlons and necessities. Ho is anxious to
ao his best for all and the proper wav
to secure what v.e need would be to
invite him here and give him the facta

and constant advocate of the Importance
of improving not only the mouth of the
Columbia but all the streams In this
section and lso of the development of
the arid eections of eastern Oregon.
"Portland occupies an unique position
In the eaat at the present time. It
Is the most talked of olty In the United
States. Its progress is regarded as
phenomenal. Formerly when one was'

SULTAN, WASH., MEN SAID
TO HAVE EXILED PASTOR
(SpeeUl ninpatcs to The Journal. 1
Blvorott, Wash., April 10. Rev.
LeRoy Ruth, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Sultan, has left
town aa the result, it Is said of a
story told by a 10-year-old girl to her
parents.
Rev. E. LeRoy Ruth Is married and
has three children. He is said to have
acknowledged a fault to belligerent
men of Sultan who waited upon him.
The household effects were shipped to
Everett and Rev. Mr. Ruth is supposed
to be In this city now. Hearing of the
act alleged against the Methodist min
ister. Attorney R, J. Faussctt of Ever
Ht visited Sultan, as he Is acquainted
with the family of the little girl.
"Feeling ran very high in Sultan,"
said the attorney, "and tho people came
near tar and feathering Ruth. In the
end, however, they contented themselves
with ordering him to leave town, which

"The destruction of tha old exposl
tion building on upper Washington, de
stroyed the source-for all the files of
that neighborhood," concluded Dr.
White. "Down In North Portland tho
horse stables have been. In some cases
removed, or destroyed.
"There Is left one dangerous source

would advise every housewife not to
buy any article of food from any store
that does not use screens. The mer
chant could at the same time be told
why the purchase was not made. All
the food exhibited in markets, in meat
shops, in groceries. In cafeterias, and
fruit stands or wagons, should be kept
screened from flies. Unless fBes have
breeding places they are not produced.
If there are no flies disease will not be
spread. Public health will bo tremend
ously protected."
A plan for having the council pass
an anti-fly ordinance had been sug
gested to Dr. White. He answered that
such an ordinance would be valuable.
but not nearly so valuable as educa
tion in the destruction of flies' breeding
places. If all decaying matter Is kept
from flies, if food, exhibited for sale or
use, Is kept screened. If the streets'
are continuously washed, tho roads
oiled, the flies will disappear.
When the lantern elides for which
he has sent, arrive, Dr. White will give
a series or lectures at the schools and
other places where the people gather.

destroy files. Ho will also loan tho
slides to others who desire to make a
similar use of them.

EXPERIMENT WITH
RICE NEAR STAYT0N
(Siwctal Dlspatrh to The JoorosL)
Wst Stayton, Or., April 10. C. E.
Chambliss, of the United States bureau
of agriculture In charge of rlco culture,
has been here and selected a oertsln
tract of land which he deemed fit for
his purpose. The land hereabouts Is
fitted for fruit and alfalfa, but the pro
moters of tho irrigation enterprise are
willing to devote a small tract for the
purpose of demonstrating whether rice
can be grown In Oregon, which would
mean a valuable staple crop added to
the resources of the state.
(Special Dlapateli te Tbe JonrnaL)
Olympla, Wash., April 10. Declaring
that he considers the present system of
legislation the most bunglesomo and
least effective of all departments of
atate government, Marlon E. Hay, gov
ernor of Washington, Baa stated he
would favor, In place of the legislature,
a commission of 25 men. who would
meet biennially and devote their time
to tho framing of laws, being psld sal
arles of 12500 a term snd remaining In
sefdlon until the work la finished. He
said:
"It takes a month for membera of the
legislature to get acquainted with each
other, and most Mils are passed with
little consideration. It seems to me
tho legislature goes at Its work lilt a
lot of schoolboys playing football. For
the first five or six weeks hundreds of
bills are brought In and. as it wore,
plied on the floor, and then the last
week there Is a rush for tho pile and
each man grabs one, seemingly Intent
only on getting it through and getting
