At the meeting of the Oregon Development league and Press association In this city today, the principal address was "The Common wealth of Oregon; Eastern Oregon," by Judge S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, whose masterful eloquence elicited great applause. Judge Lowell's address was one of four on the "Commonwealth of Ore gon," his subject being eastern Ore gon, and was as follows: Imperial Oregon, surpassing In area Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined, nearly half of the Republic of France In extent, larger than all Oreat Britain, enters the new century rich with promise. Resting for near 800 miles upon the western ocean, she reaches eastward more than an eighth of the continent's span. The mightiest navigable river of the Pacific slope washes her northern bor der, another pierces the fairest valley of the great northwest, while tossing streams in double scores invite with surging waters the whirring spindle and the turning wheel. Thre ranges of towering moun tains sentineled by hoary peaks, divide her territory, guard from cyclonic storms, a.nd bold for human need the mightiest forests yet a heritage to the states. Her soil, the product of vol canic fires and countless ages of vege table decay, responds in matchless bounty to seed of every grain and plant and flower which enriches the temperate lone. The salt-laden breezes of the sen and the dry sirocco of the Interior plains, the snowy winds of the moun tain tops, and the hazy calm of the deeper valleys, all Influenced by the mysterious Chinook wind and the balmy Japan current, unite to assure a climate varied, health-giving and de lightful. Mines gleaming with silver and gold, quarries of finest sandstone aivl whitest marble, fields sapphlred with all the grains, meadows green with al falfa and native grasses, hills the range of shep and cattle, orchards fruiting In glad abundance, rivers the home of trout and salmon, gardens ra diant with kaleidoscopic bloom, con tribute with unstinting hand to every pleasure, comfort and Industry of man. Titan planned, she offers In emerald sotting her share of the wonder places of the globe. The pictured rocks of Harney, the water cave of Mulheur, the hot springs of Union, the Jeweled lnke of Wallowa, the Impressive pan orama of the Columbia, the falls of Multnomah, the cloud-kissed heights of Hood and McLaughlin, the mighty trees of the coast range, the mystic splendor of Crater Lake, nil wait the enraptured vision of the connoisseur tourlstB of the world. Upon her shores Is being played by wind and wave the wedding march which celebrates the union of Occident and orient. The harbors of the Paci fic ore too few and Its commerceasthe duy of Its new life opens full, will de mand them all, and Oregon, sitting in the pathway of the majestic march of empire westward through the accept ed zone of power, will surely sec upon her every bay an entry port of trade. Over her even now begins to form to prophetic eye the halo which marks the leadership of the western slope. In the new alignment, Industrial and commercial, her hand shall bear the scepter; her head shall wear the crown. The commonwealth Is to be born again and for all her people there Forty Font Ram Wont Out Santa Rosa, Cal., Jan. 12. LaHt night the 40-foot dnm on Pig Sulphur creek, near Oeyser, went out as a result of a henvy snow. Several men In the vlcln- Ity had narrow escape owing to the sudden rush of waters. The dnm was the property of the Socrates Quicksilver Mining Co., and was used for the storage of electrical power for the mine. Loss about $30,000. must be a dedication to a single, unit ed, non-sectional state, every heart beat throbbing the sentiment, "Ore gonlans for Oregon," not "Oregon for OreRonlans." What part can the eastern counties so vast, so littlo understood, so lately counted, but a desert, bear In this pa geunt of our nge' They comprise two thirds the territory of the state; their resources are not only substantially untouched, but are practically un known. Tlip Great Interior. To the valleys of the ocean side of the Cascades, the cities which have been bullded, the Industries which have been established, belongs the present fame of Oregon. There set tled the pioneers, there the state was born; there history has been made, but the story of the great Interior must be future told. Few know or appreciate its wonders, and not only is this true abroad, but alike of citi zens of Oregon. To those who do know it, who have traversed Its broad expanse with re ceptive minds, its resources are limit less and Its future radiant with hope. It Is a region endowed with all the el ements which make for the highest prosperity and happiness of the race, but Is In a transition state. Transpor tation lines, those arteries of mod ern life, have scarcely touched It and, hence, In the main the primitive in dustries yet there obtain. It Is the home of the sheep kings, cattle bar ons and the arena of bonanza farm ing. It still harks back In the public mind to the time when It appeared upon the map as a part of the mythi cal great American desert. Except In those sections capable of Irrigation It perhaps will never be densely populated, because the rain fall over much of Its area Is Insuffic ient to warrant diversified farming, and Its water power Is too limited for extensive manufacturing, but notwith standing these adverse conditions, there Is no valid reason why it should not at an early date sustain a rural population of a million people and contain within Its cities another mil lion. The ratio of waste to arable land will not materially differ from most of the countries of the old world, and was the eastern portion of this state as densely popnlnted as moun tainous Switzerland for Instance, we would have within our borders full 7,000,000 people. Its soli of lava ash, especially adapt ed to cereal production, similar In constituent elements to that of Sici ly which has yielded wheat without material diminution for hundreds of years. Gradually Its agricultural area Is widening as methods of farming im prove, and thousands of acres which a decade ago were regarded as fit only for the ranjre, are now under the (Continued on pig 8.)

Damage Amounting to Several Hun dred Dollars Sustained Alnrni Was Turned In About 3:30 This Morn ing Delay In Getting Water lie cause of Water Freezing lu Hose; V Colder Night Would Have Ren dered tlie Hose Entirely Worthless For the Time Being Smoke and Wutor Caused Much of the Dam age. In a fire which occurred at 3:30 this morning, the Log Cabin saloon, on East Court street, was damaged to the extent of several hundred dol lars. The fire originated from a lamp under a hot water urn at one end of the bar, which was evidently left burning when the saloon was closed about midnight. In what manner the blaze caught Is not known. It was first noticed by a man passing along tho sidewalk on the opposite side of the street. An alarm was at once turned In, and both the central com panies responded promptly. When they first arrived on the scene the smoke within the paloon was so dense that it was hard to locate the fire. Also, some delay was experienced In getting water, owing to the fact that water left In the fire hose had frozen. At present there Is no room In which hose may be dried after a fire, and according to Fire Chief Vaughan. the hoso would have been frozen so as to have been useless hud last night been much colder. Owing to the nature of the furni ture in the room the fire did not make much progress last night, and It was extinguished before much damage had been done. However, one end of the bar wus burned, a large mirror broken, and considerable other damage done by smoke and water. Contents Insured for $225(1. The stock and furniture of the Log Cabin are owned by John McFadden. and were Insured for the sum of $2250, the Insurance being carried with Joe Ell. agent for the Phoenix and Scottish Union. The building Is owned by John Temple. However, but little damage wus done to the building. GLEARING UP A GREAT MYSTERY Arrest of Charles A.
