Dear 8lr: In an unsigned paid ad
vertisement appearing In the country
press of the First congressional dis
trict, under the headlines: "W. C. Haw

among other tilings a paragraph reads
as follows: "He has already secured
$4,000,000 for waterways, buildings and
ether purposes, and will add to that
this session over $2,000,000, which is
an average of over $870,000 per year."
As to the $4,000,000 alleged to have
been secured bv you. It Is the general
Impression in Oregon that Senators
llourne. Chamberlain and Lane and
Representatives Binnott and I.afferty
have had something to do with the
curing of these appropriations, and
I challenge the truth of the statement
that you personally secured this $4,-
W0.000.

Haak and Connell
Get Salt Deposits
Have 10 Bays In WMth to Put Tip Cash
or Surety Bond As Qurants; Gov
ernor West Prevents Clash.
Salem, Or., May 5. The state land
board has accepted the proposal of
John Haak and Samuel Connell of
Portland to pay $2,000,000 for the salt
and other deposits In Summer and
Abert lakes In Ike county, and gave
them 10 days In which to get those
whom they represent In New York to
sign up the contract and put up $50,
000 In cash, or a surety bond as a
guarantee of the faithful performance
of the contract.; Mr. Haak will leave
immediately for New York with the
contract.
Keen rivalry between Mr. Haak and
Jason Moore, who represents New York
people and had made a counter prop
osition for the lakes, at a meeting of
the state land board yesterday after
noon, would have led to a personal en-r
counter between the two had not Gov
ernor West interfered. Mr. Haak told
Mr. Moore that statements he had
made were not true, whereupon Moore
invited Haak outside. Haak grabbed
his hat and started to go when the
governor sprang between the two and
said they were trespassing, as he did all
the fighting that was to be done
around the; place.
Moore had offered $1,000,000 for the
salt and other deposits in the lakes and
$250,000 more for the 90,000 acres of
land covered. Haak raised the offer
t ) $2,00,000.

Salem, Or., May 6. Upon the reC

state board had decided to have $26,
500 of the $28,000 appropriated for a
trusty building to be erected outside
the walls of the state penitentiary by
not erecting the building at this time.
The money will be turned back into
the general fund of the state. The sum
of $1500 was used on the central heat
ing plant which was to have furnished
heat for the proposed building.
Governor West also said today that
he would recommend to the board that
the proposed new building at the Sol
diers Home at Roseburg be dis
pensed with, and thus save $20,000 that
was appropriated for the building. He
said that there are not as many old
soldiers at the home as had been ex
pected, and that the management could
get along without the building.

Eugene W. Cbafla, Twice Candidate
for President, Present; P. W. Em
erson Temporary Chairman.
Nearly 300 Prohibitionists from all
parts of the state were In attendance
at the opeiing session' of the two-day
state convention of the Prohibition
party which opened in Portland at the
Taylor Street Methodist church this
morning.
Little more th'an temporary organi
zation of the- convention was accom
plished at the session, but with the
presence of Eugene W. Chafln. twice
candidate for president of the United
States on the Prohibition ticket, and
Virgil G. Hlnshaw of Chicago, national
chairman of the party, at the meeting,
the 1914 convention promises to be the
greatest in the history of the party in
this state.
Late arrivals among the delegates
expected to arrive- this noon and to
morrow are expected to swell the at
tendance., up to at leaat 600. The call
for the convention is made on an at
tendance of 1500, but only a third of
this numter are expected to attend.
Convention Opened With Prayer.
The convention opened by a half
hour prayer by the Rev. Dr. T. B. Ford,
pastor of the First M. E. church"of
Oregon City and chairman df - the
Clackamas county delegation.
F. W. Emerson of Albany was chosen
temporary chairman and W. D. Mac
Cullotigh of The Dalles, temporary sec
retary. A committee on permanent
organization consisting of I. 11. Amos
of Portland, chairman; Mrs. Mary
MalVett of Portland, C. P. Coe of
McMlnnvllIo, D. M. Williamson of Cor
vallie and C. J. Bright of The Dalles
wag named by the emporary chairman
as the concluding business of the ses
slon.
Alio Kiuyvi ai; uioiiiiioil n buvaido
presumaply expressing the keynote of
the convention took up most of the
morning.- Rumor had it that an at
tempt would be made to adjourn the
nomination of candidates for state of
fleers until after the primary election
so as to see what candidates would be
available for the Prohibition party's
Indorsement.
No -attempt of this kind was made
this rooming,, however, and from the
trend- of Mr. Emerson's remarks it
seemed most probable that the party
will go ahead and nominate from with
in Its own ranks candidates to carry
on the out-to-win fight in this state
this fall.
"Prohibition," remarked Mr. Emer
son, "is a political question. It Is a
question of partisanship and it never
will be settled in any other way. Non
partisanship cc.n but mean failure for
our cause. We must stand together
for principle.
"If . a man is a Republican or Dem
ocrat and has firm convictions that the
liquor traffic should be abolished, he
Is not where he ought to be, he should
be with us, -
'Why should we wait to see what
the brewery parties are going to do?
Why should we cringe before the' other
parties and powerful political organi
zations of the state. There should be
no compromise on any isue-jwe stand
for a great principle and the Prohi
bition party should not be expected to
sacrifice Itself any more than the Re
publican. Democratic or Progressive
parties.
One Pifffet la Great Battle.
"If we lose in Oregon this fall re
member it is only one fight in a great
battle. Let us be true to those wh
have fought the cause before us. Let
us not compromise with other parties.
Let us never flinch until we have
elected men dedicated to prohibition to
the legislature, to executive offices of
state and national government and un
til we have the complete machinery of
government to put down this traffic.
Mr. Emerson stated that help was
needed from present members of the
other parties but urged that these help
build up the Prohibition party. "As
one who understand the trend of th
time," he said, "there never was a
more dangerous period in our crusada
than we face, today.
"We are aflame with zeal to drive
the liquor traffic from the bounds of
our state and in spite of mistakes and
obstacles that may come up the prln
ciple cannot. die. A mere constitutional
amendment will not make Oregon or
the nation 'dry.'
Party Itself Xs Issue.
"The issue before this convention
and before the American people today
ia: A Prohibition party elected to of
flee to enact legislation and direct
government that will destroy forever
the drink traffic.
"Non-partisanship can but fall, wa
must stand together on principle. We
need men who stand square on our
primary proposition, the complete abo
lltion of the liquor traffic, and that is
the only road to success.
Two gavels were presented the chair
by the W. C. T. U. of this city at the
close of the session. W. L. Malloy a
resident of the Patten home who is
the oldest Prohibitionist present, being
82 years old, was accorded a place in
the Clackamas county delegation.

SALEM ' BEER
The Most Popular Beverage on the
Pacific Coast?
SALEM BEER is brewed in one of the most mod
ern plants on the Pacific Coast. It is aged, in steel
glass-lina tanks. It is conveyed by modern pipe
line system direct to the bottle house, bottled under
pressure and therefore never comes in contact with
the air from the time it leaves the fermenting tank
until the bottle is opened by the consumer. The
consumer is absoluely assured a beer of ideal
effervescence, snap and purity.
A trial will surely convince any one of the ex
cellence of Salem Bottled Beer.
