Facts
GREAT FALLS, Mont.. Aug.
29. John L. Slattery, United
gtates district attorney, today is
sued a statement answering the
interview with John M. Kelson of
Chicago, national La FolSette and
Wheeler campaign manager, con
cerning the Wheeler trial set for
heating at this place.
,"1 observed a dispatch ot yester
day in which Representative John
M. Nelson, national manager ot
the La Follette-Wheeler cam
paign, says that my action in ar
raigning Senator Wheeler on Sep
tember 1 is a clear indication that
the department of justice is to be
- used as an adjunct of the republi
can, national committee in this
campaign and that the republican
party now seeks to prevent Sen
ator Wheeler from carrying the
facts developed in the Daugherty
investigation 'to the people of the
country, by bringing him to trial
in the midst of this campaign.'
Presence Not Yet Required
. "There is absolutely no founda
tion for Mr. Nelson's statement.
In; "the first place there can be no
aspect of Senator Wheeler's ar
raignment which would 'require
his personal presence here on the
first of September. At the j ar
raignment, his counsel may move
. to quash the indictment or demur
,td" it, before even entering the con
templated plea of no guilty.; Is
sues of law raised by a motion to
quash or demurrer must first be.

Politics is Denied
"Politics has in no way entered
into this case from the govern
ment's side. Since Senator Wheel
er's manager claims that the case
is to be brought to trial in the
midst of the present campaign for
political purposes, I will now state
with a view ot making it clear
that politics has not-entered into
the ca3e at all so far as the gov
ernment is concerned, that I am
perfectly willing that both the ar
raignment and the trial ot Sen
ator Wheeler shall go over until
the next term of court here, which
will not be until after the Nov
ember election has passed Into his
tory.! That certainly ought to re
fute Representative Nelson's state
ment that any action of mine in
connection with this case has been
for political purposes and should
preclude any suggestion of inter
ference with ) Senator Wheeler's
campaign plans." !
Starrett Examiner for
j Oregon State Land Board
It came to light only yesterday
that the state land ; board at a
meeting on July 9 appointed J. V.
Starrett of Roseburg as an ex
aminer of lands on which the
board proposes foreclosures be
cause of delinquent loans from the
school fund. ) I
' Starrett receives $150 a month
and expenses, the same salary that
was to be paid Dr. A. Slaughter
of Salem, who resigned rather
than give up his place on the com
mittee of seven of the Independent-Progressive
party, A success
or to Slaughter has not yet been
named,
Starrett,; according to himself,
has been active as an organizer
for the Ku'Klux Klan, He claims,
however, to be liberal on some of
the things in which Klansmen gen
erally are radical. Starrett was
recommended! to the board by J.
H. Booth, Roseburg banker.
Starrett's appointment ante
dated' that of Slaughter.

Contemplated Waterway Im
provements to Be Inspect!
ed By Congressman j .
l ... . ... - -n
Congressman W. C. Ilawley left
last night to visit Coos and Curry
counties and in the western pari
of Douglas and Lane counties. He
expects to be gone about 10 days
and to visit all of the waterway
improvements in that section in
accordance with his usual custom.
The port of Port Orford desires
to have a breakwater for the pro
tection of its wharves and permit
of their extension to meet the
needs ot the growing commerce
at that port. Congress has al
ready authorized the construction
of two jetties on Coos bay and ap
propriations are made yearly out
of which the improvement will be
made. I :; ) . -.y
The port of Bandon desires ex
tensions of the present jetties and'
the deepening of the channel at
the entrance of Coquille river. 3
The port of Umpqua has con
structed a dredge and during last
summer, and this, has been deep
ening and straightening the chan
nels in the river between Reeds
port and the entrance. They de
sire government cooperation, i '
The jetties at the mouth of the
Sluslaw river have , produced ' &
greater depth of water than watf
originally contemplated. The only
obstruction to commerce now on
the Siuslaw between the railroad
bridge and the entrance are three
short sandbars, for which Con
gressman Hawley has an appropri
ation provided In the pending riv
er and harbor bill. ; I i
All these prpjects are eoopera-
tlve, the ports contributing to the
construction of the improvements.
The improvements on the Coquille
Coos bay, Umpqua and' Sluslaw
rivers and at Port Orford, wijl
improve the market for the tiro-
ber : the government has to sejl
from the lands formerly included
in the Coos bay wagon road grant
and the Oregon-California wagon
road grant, and increase the
stumpage price sufficient to cover
the costs of the government of the
improvements several times over,
It will also have the same result
on timber in the forest reserves.
Mr. Hawley intends to go over
all these projects with care, obtain
all possible Information for the
purpose of obtaininf the necessary
government aid in the construc
tion of the improvements. ;
I The first grave mistake some
great men make is when they have
their photographs made. t l .,
