Eugene, Sept. 29'. (Special.) 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

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

The stat was early marked for ex

stamped with express approval that

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

The shock was very severe.

stated It Is harder to decide, bul no

SMUGGLERS CA ITCHED.
Smooth Gang Taken at Seattle With

Seattle, Sept. 29. 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 '

"I would like to see the Initiative

taken next year on the question of

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

some time to the affairs of the sus

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

Monmouth. Ashlaad and Weston
schools, and that an Indorsement ot
these schools be asked of the people
at the next election. K in his opinion
that the three schools would be upheld
