Idaho Senator OpxHc Direct Pri
mary Law In Ills State.
Senator Heyburn of Idaho Is bit
terly opposed to the adoption of a
direct primary law In that state, and
Is using his Influence to beat the
movement that Is slated to come to a
head at the session of the legislature
this winter. The senator's position Is
stated In an Interview In which he
says:
"The proposal to establish the di
rect primary law at tho coming ses
sion of the legislature of Idaho Is a
menace to the republican party and
Its organization, and should lie de
feated. It originated in mongrel pol
itics united to oppose and defeat the
republican party, at any cost or sac
rifice of political principles and It Is
an attempt to substitute Individual
ambition and enjoyment of office for
principles of government. The dem
ocratic platform declared for It.
"The candidates under the direct
primary system are bound by no par
ty and no party stands sponsor for
them. In the absence of the conven
tion of the coming together of the
people of any political faith, there Is
no opportunity to express the princi
ples by which the candidates are to be
governed, and the candidate who, af
ter the election, adopts methods or
principles utterly Inconsistent with
the pnrty that he Is presumed to rep
resent can not be called to account
on the ground that he has violated the
faith of the people or the principles
of the party."

PRAISE FOR OREGON
A. DECKER TELLS OF
ITS ATTRACTIVE CLIMATE.
Acknowledges That Ho Has a Feeling
Which Ho Cannot Explain, In
Thinking of Oregon You Cannot
Get Away Prom Uie Oregon
Weather It Attracts You Every
where Everybody In Oregon Is Full
of the Subject.
A. Decker, of Grand Rapids. Mich
writes In the following fascinating
strain of Oregon:
Things are not what they seem In
Oregon. Every day's experience com.
pels me to believe things I cannot
sec and see things I cannot believe.
Every Impression I get of this coun
try Impresses me as being a false lm
presslon.
It Is hard to believe that this state
is one commonwealth bounded by one
common destiny. It Is unlike any
other state. It cannot fairly be
Judged by comparison with any other.
It is a land apart, unique In Its ap
pearance, and I can testify to an In
terest In It which I am at a Ions to
define. Its freedom, its larger life.
Its independence may help to explain
the fascination.
It is not facts merely that we want,
but a perception of their significance.
It Is an amazing life that greets the
untraveled visitor; the vast variety of
forest and field, orchard and garden
gives the country u new und strange
aspect and one is apt to feel that he
has a good deal to learn.
Climate Is nn elusive thing. You
enjoy It most when you realize It
least. The seasons are topsy turvy.
Spring comes in autumn with the first
rains, and the almanac that hung by
the kitchen stoves back east. Is sadly
out of Joint In this new land.
It Is Christmas time but plows are
turning up the soli; seed Is being
sown; grass Is springing up; flowers
are blooming and stock Is feeding In
the fields. Climate is a staple topic
of conversation. You cannot get away
from the weather. Even books have
a climate and every man has his own
clouds and sunshine.
Hut the Oregonlans are a bit too In
sistent on that subject. Everywhere
they buttonhole you and tell about
maximum and minimum tempera
tures, rainfall and sunshine, sea
breezes and frostless winters until you
feel like a combination barometer,
thermometer and weather vane.
FUND FOR CALIFORNIA.
Rcx-lnniatlon Service Sets Aside SO.0,
000 for Sacramento Land.
The secretary of the Interior ' has
conditionally allotted the sum of
$660,000 from the reclamation fund
for the construction of the Orland ir
rigation project In California. The
conditions to be fulfilled before the
project Is finally approved for con
struction are as follows:
First That 12.000 acres of land be
pledged by the owners In a form to
be approved by the department, such
that the lands will be held bound to
repay the cost of construction under
the terms of the reclamation act.
Second That satisfactory arrange
ments be made and agreements com
pleted for the adjustment of water
rights or for options to purchase cer
tain propertle ond rights.
Third That satisfactory arrange
ments be made for the purchase of
the lauds needed for reservoir pur
poses. Fourth That the owners of the
lands agree to subdivide and sell their
holdings In excess of 100 acres In farm
units of not to exceed 40 acres.
This is the first unit of the Sacra
mento valley project, which it Is hoped
may In time be undertaken by the
United Stales. The lands to be Irri
gated In the vicinity of Orland lie
along stony creek, and the waters of
this creek, regulated by storage, are
to be used In the Irrigation of tho
land.
The'o Is nn uncertainty about the
results. Irrigation on a small scale
has long been prnctlced In this part
of tho Sacramento valley. Vineyards
and orchards will rapidly take the
plnco under irrigation of the grain
fields, which of late years have
proven unremuneratlve.

Fair Deficits ami Ruin.

rainy week. We have known fairs to
have a deficit in a sunshiny climate,
and others to have a balance on the
right side of the ledger even with a
rainy week. Rural Spirit,

Hi YORK LETTER
New York, Dec. 29. Under the
vety eye of the customs authorities
smuggling Is carried on to an enor
mous, extent in New York harbor
The recent eelzure of a quantity o
valuable Syrian lace in a bag of peas
recalls the seizure of over 14 pounds
of opium some years ago In four bags
of rice Imported from Japan.
The retired quartermaster of one
of tho well known liners told me a
few days ago that on his ship an as
sistant steward each trip smuggled
upwards of J10.000 worth of uncut
diamonds from London. An hour
before the sailing of the ship In Lon
don, a man who purported to be his
father, would come on board with
some underclothing wrapped in a
piece of brown paper. This the as
sistant steward would carelessly throw
on the deck and would receive from
the man a small Jar of shaving puste
anil, to disarm susplcicn, a razor
strop. The diamonds were conceal
ed In the paste, but the strange part
of the ?tory is that the Jar was al
ways left carelessly on the man's
bunk und occasionally used by his
berth mates.
On arrival in New York, a shoe
maker used to come on board look
ing for orders for repairs. The as
sistant steward had always some
work for the supposed shoemaker,
and It was In the false Heels of the
hoots that the stones found their
way ashore. This game was can led
on for five years so successfully that
the man was able to retire last year
and purchased a fashionable hotel in
the west end of London.
My information describes how opi
um is now smuggled Into this country
by several sailors who are making
fortunes as the business. A tin of
soft tobacco la half packed with the
drug and handed over to agents wait
ing for it here. The opium has first
to bo smuggled out of India, this be
ing done witli the aid of u preserved
flying fish in which It Is packed. On
arrival In London when the customs
"rummagers" have gone through the
ship It Is transferred to the tobacco
tin and so finds Its way here.

ed Into a city police station a fev(
days ago and asked to be locked up,
sayi'ig that he was unable to find
employment, had no money and had
walked the streets for weeks without
anything to eat except what he could
pick up. The police in the station
roundly abused him, branded him as
a hobo and threatened to make It
hot for him. He was brought to
court and committed to the workhouse
for six months.
The court keeper after his convic
tion questioned him and when ha
found the poor man was actually
starving give him a double portion
of food. Seely disposed, of It rave
nously and was very soon taken ill."
Before the ambulance arrived he was
dead and the hospital doctor who
made a post-mortem examination has
stated that. Seely's stomach was so
utterly deranged by starvation that
the h-arty meal he ate had been the
cause of his death.
S.-iOll.noo Suit Against City.
The heirs of an ancient Van Horn
have commenced proceedings against
the city to recover property roughly
estimated to value $500,000,000. The
claim affects half the city in the
''ronx direction and its revival by the
descendants of Van Horn will give
wrrk to lawyers Innumerable.
The family Bilrle on which the Van
Hoi n heirs are pinning their faith. Is
now In the possession of Dr. S. W.
I.anieroux. of Stroudsburg, Pa., who
(nek it for a debt 30 years a?o, having
doctored a Van Horn, and it was only
recently discovered that the Bible
was worth half a billion, as patents
granted i nthe year 1666, were found
in It. The patents show that the land
was granted to Abraham Van Horn,
who died in 1700, by Richard Nlcolls
and Thomas Dongan, governors of tho
