On? of the chief addresses before the Wil lamette Valley Development league to day waa delivered by Judite (Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton, hlH subject being-. "A Square Deul for Oregon." The address elicited Brent upplausc und was In part a follows: This state Ih approaching the half century mark In Its civic life. Its re sources In soil, climate, production, location and facilities for commerce and manufacture entitle It to a mil lion peoplo and to a commanding po sition among the commonwealths of the west. In fact its population probably dors not exceed half a million, while the morning of Ita material development seems scarcely yet to have dawned. We are In the zone of power; n mighty ocean and great navlga:o rivers wash our borders and pierce oit territory; our mountains iteem nlth rich ores and limitless forests; oar soli responds to the arts of agriculture In glad abundance: coal rlonrtMlta unH nn.

NATURALLY MOKE RICH LY ENDOWED THAN ANY OTHER, LINGERS IN THE REAR OVER HER RESTS THE PALL OF THREE SHADOWS: THK SECTIONAL CLAN- NIHHNESS OF HER PEOPLE, ALIEN OWNERSHIP OF HER IANDS, AND FOREIGN CONTROL OF HER RAILROADS. Socially, commercially and political ly one city dominates the state not always to Its uplifting. Legislatures and political conventions assemble, and their members align In groups, eastern Oregon, southern Oregon, the valley counties, the river counties, Multnomah, and the welfare of the state Is too often overlooked In the log-rolling for local Interests. Few citizens seem to grasp the mntchless possibilities of that portion of the commonwealth lying beyond the ma- vlew of their personal operations, and most are apparently disinclined to make the sacrifice of time and money to study them. Ijind madness is ram pant. Anxious to secure larger hold ings for themselves, immigration is discouraged by many who ought to be of broader vision, and we are In an era of bonanza farming always a blight and bane. Our people are Industrious, Intelli gent, law abiding, and God fearing, but they seem at times forgetful that "Righteousness exa.rtc.th a nation," and countenance on the part of political Is that the federal senate Is judge of the qualifications of Its own members, but tho fact still remains that the framers of the Oregon constitution In tended to bar elections of that churac ter, and every member of the legisla tive body takes an oath to support that instrument. Constitution Is Evaded. For years It has been an open secret that some of the express provisions of the constitution, notably those as to salaries of officials, aro being evaded by Indirect legislative enactment and by common party consent for parly purposes, and yet people have refused time and again at the polls to amend that antiquated Instrument and adapt It to present needs. These things but Indicate a lack of sacrificial and comprehensive patriot ism, for they are Ills which an aroused and united public sentiment can at any moment end. A SQUARE DEAL FOR OREGON DEMANDS THAT THESE HABITS OF THOUGHT AND ACTION SHALL PASS AWAY, AND THAT ALL MEN SHALL STRIKE HANDS FOR PRO GRESS AND OFFICIAL HONESTY EVERYWHERE. A WELDING OF SECTIONS MUST COME. OUR BAT TLE CRY SHOULD BE NOT ORE GON FOR OREGON I A NS, BUT Oltb- GONIANS FOR OREGON. Ijtnd Owned by Aliens. The stat was early marked for ex ploitation. In i854 the legislature stamped with express approval that which has never failed to curse every nation nnd every race touched by Its withering hand alien ownership of lands. Tho result with us has been that much of our domain is the property of non-residents, private and corporate, who await the unearned Increment, and who will make no sacrifice and further no enterprise In the state's de velopment. Land speculators, lumber syndicates, cattle kings, all traffickers In futures, hold in utter Idleness m for primitive pasturage vast territories where should be the myriad homes which make u state. A square deal for Oregon will never come until the people rise to such leg- u EMINENT G Dilatory Tactics of Defendant Packers Meet Reverses in Federal Court.

The shock was very severe.

George Betger, a local superintendent of the Pullman Palace Car company, and "Big Steve" Stevens, the notorius smuggler, and his wife were arrested by the local customs authorities this morning Just as the trio stepped from the Van couver train. The arrests were made by Customs Officers Frank Loftus, Drinker and Knox. . Berger, when arrested, was carry ing a dress suit case containing 27 1-2 pounds of opium. At the police sta tion he claimed that he did not know what was In the suit case. He stated that Mrs. Stevens had approachifl him as he was about to leave the cur and asked him If he would carry the suit case for her. He said he took the valise and had only gone a few feet when the officers placed him under arrest. Stevens waa one of the gang cap tured some time ago along with more than 2000 pounds of the illicit drug. The customs officers have been working on the case for some time. Nearly three weeks ago word was re ceived at the local office that there was something "doing" In the "dope ' line, and that the smuggling was not confined to the steamboats. WOULD INVOKE .

PREVIOUS RECORDS ALL, "I would like to see the Initiative and referendum invoked, and a vote taken next year on the question of normal schools, so as to settle the question of what is wanted of those Institutions in this state," said P. A. Worthington. secretary of the regents of the Weston normal, who Is here today from Portland and Is devoting some time to the affairs of the sus pended schools while In this county. The ubove proposition was broach ed by Mr. Worthington after a discus sion of the probable outcome of the vote w hich is to be taken on the ap propriation hill next June, and the probable future of the Weston school. His suggestion Is that an initiative pe tition be started by the friends of the Monmouth. Ashlaad and Weston schools, and that an Indorsement ot these schools be asked of the people at the next election.

Architect Troutman Is now preparing plans and estimates and the work sill be begun as soon as practicable. The Improvements to the churc will consist In a transept 10x30 feet on both sides of the church, an ele vated floor, new heating plunt, new- roof, new Interior arrangements, in eluding a new choir platform, doubl the capacity of the present platform new plaster, new pews, new carpet or else a deadened floor Instead, and complete rearrangement of the Sunday scnooi room to make It more conven lent ttmii better suited to the use.

The Pasa ITvil. ii is currently Doneven, and pre eumably true, that the great majority or state orriclnls, legislative, executive and Judicial, have for years been the recipients of free railway transporta tion. These officers have not been In tentionally delinquent In official ethics. They have accepted these favors ns a courtesy due their positions, following a custom well-nigh universal, and yet every thinking man knows that the free pass system Is but a means of polite bribery on the part of railroad management. The constitution of the stnte pro vides that no senator or representative shall, during the time for which he may have been elected, be eligible to any office, the election to which Is vested In the legislative assembly, and yet twice within tho last decade a united States senator has been elected from the membership of that body.
