That the reclamation act be ex tended to Hawaii. That the states pass laws regulating cutting of public and private timber. That there should be no political lines with reference to the use of water for irrigation. That the Mississippi deep waterway be developed. The committee turned down the rs olution asking a $.r, 000, 000,000 bond isHue, after a debate in which some of the Washington delegation upheld the measure. HOLD UP BANK. Oregon Boys Secure S 7,000 But Are Soon Captured. San Francisco, Aug. H. Two Ore gon youths, neither one much over 18 years of age, walked into the Valley bank of Santa Clara shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and lining up the three clerks at the muzzles of revolvers, pushed one of the men for ward and told him to place $7,000 in a bag and give it to them." "And be quirk about it, too," said one of the hold-ups, "and if it is shy I'll blow the top of your head off." While the clerk was obeying the youths, the others had a good chance to study their fares, as neither of the amateurish desperadoes was masked. Cashier Birge placed the required sum in a sack aud gave it to the two invad ers, who at once left the bank, went a half a block, and jumped into a wait ing automobile. There one of the men placed a revolver at the chalTeur's head and commanded him to "let her out for all she's worth." The chsffeur complied and the heavy car disappeared in a cloud of dust. Some miles out of town, however, the machine broke down or the diiver dis abled it and the robbers took to the fields. Their direction was ascertained and shortly afterwards they were over taken by Sheriff; Lang ford and Deputy Sheriff F. Lowell on the banks of Moody creek. Sheriff Langford male every effort to discover the identity of the prison ers, but beyond saying they were from Oregon they would tell nothing of their history. Organize Against Middleman. Colusa. Cal., Aug. 14. The farmers of the Sacrar.iento valley, particularly on the wrtt side of the Sacramento river, are preparing to organize an as sociation to "protect the growers from giving half their profits to the middle man."

It ia not known who paid the $10 piece. HILL BACKS ROAO. Construction of Oregon Trunk Up the Deschutes to Be Rushed. Portland, Aug. 17. Uncertainty as to the actual force behind the Oregon 1 runic was removed when John F, Stevens made the announcement that be bad acquired a controlling interest in the project, which, in its execution. is to be financed by J. J. Hill, person ally. The acquisition of this property by Mr. Stevens and his associates and the identification of Mr. Hill with it are of major importance to the railroad situation in this state. It ia regarded as the initial step by Hill in hia in vasion of Central Oregon and the eventual building of a railroad to San Franciscoo. Subsequent developments resulting from Hill's invasion of Ore gon are expected materially to alter the railroad map of the state. On being asked several days ago if I had any interest in the Oregon Trunk or if I represented any railroads that were interested, I said no, and the latter statement still holds good," said Mr. Stevens. Since then, however, I have ac quired a controlling interest in the project, have all necessary financial ar rangements completed, and the road will be built as fast as it can be reas onably done with men and money. The matter is a personal one, and I have no objection to saying that J. J. Hill, as an individual, is financially in terests to any extent necessary to car ry the road through to successful com pletion. "Plans in detail are not fully devel oped, but will become apparent from time to time, as conditions may seem to require. It may be said, however, that the Oregon Trunk proposes to provide as quickly as practicable a northern outlet for Central Oregon, re gardless of the designs of any other transportation company." Having made this announcement, Mr. Stevens refused to budge an inch. FIGHT TO BE KEPT UP. Ballinger and Pinchot to Meet Again in Denver. Denver, Aug. 17. Every subject that in any way can be connected with the commercial, industrial and agricul tural growth of the West, from the Panama canal to scientific dry farm ing, will be discussed in Denver this week at sessions of the 12th annual convention of the Trans-Missisfippi Commercial congress. Between 5,000 and 7,000 delegates are expected. The congress began its sessions yesterday, although the real work will not be taken up until today. One of the features of the congress probably will be the renewal of the struggle between Secretary of the In terior Ballinger and Chief Forester Pinchot, begun publicly at Spokane last week. These two men and 800 delegates from the National Irrigation congress at Spokane are expected to day. Among the multitude of subjects to be discussed are railroads and trans portation ; commercial problems, closer relations with southern republics, with special reference to the Panama canal; national defense, with special refer ence to the Pacific coast and Hawaii, which will send delegates; conserva tion of national resources, irrigation and reclamation ; good roads ; beet and cane sugar industry ; reform of the consular service; drainage of sub merged lands, and separate statehood for Arizona and New Mexico. Among the accredited delegates will be five women, t-o from Denver, two from Arizona and one from Texas. The government will take advantage of the congresa to give illustrated lec tures every night explaining what Fed eral authorities are doing in the way of public works, including the Panama canal.

BALLINGER CENTER OF FIERCE BATTLE Ex-Governor Pardee Is Leader of At tack on Secretary of Interior. Californian Roundly Scorea Him for Giving Away Power Sites Makes Impassioned Plea for Roosevelt Policies Ex-Senator Turner De fends Action of Secretary. Spokane, Aug. 12. With the stage carefully set, the actor prepared in their lines and an ovewhelming audi ence in its place, the Ballinger battle royal burst upon the National Irriga tion congress yesterday aiternoon. The man who, in the language of an enthusiastic Californian, "ripped things wide open" first was Dr. Geortre C. Pardee, ex-governor of California. Pardee attacked Richard A. Ballin ger, secretary of the interior, with a fierceness only exceeded by that of George Turner, ex-senator of Washing ton, wno took up the cudgels in defense of Secretary Ballinger. Tnese two became the principal actors in the lit tle drama which was enacted after the appearance of the secretary. Ut. fardee told of the activities of ex-Secretry Garfitld.'who, under the in structions of President Koosevelt,with drew from public entry many tracts of land under the beilef that these lands should be held for the people. Now, he said, Secretary Balling-r has asrain out up for entry these lands, and each tract has in its boundary a water-power site. 1 do not oppose private enterprise in the development of these sites." said Dr. Pardee, "but I do oppose giv ing away immense rights to private corporations which in a few years will hold the same political control over cities and states that railways now hold as a result of the magnificent gifts made them when they were asking for help to construct We do know the corruption which has resulted from railway control. Shall we now hand out to a new form of corporate power an entirely new form of power over our institutions! "The thing to do." said the former California governor, "is to withdraw the water-power sites, aa did Roose velt, and told them for the people. Ur. Pardee, when seen later, fur nished technical descriptions of dam sites which he said proved conclusively that dam sites which have been taken up under Secretary Ballinger could not have been taken up under Garfield.

Motor Not Yet Perfected. New York, Aug. 12. In an inter view ju-t before sailing for Europe Orville Wright said the only obstacle in the way of a thousand mile flight by aeroplane was the imperfection of the motors. He said the aeroplane had de veloped faster than the engine. The main thing needed in aeronautics was an enigne that would not stop until the aviator shut it off. With such ran engine aviation would be made safe and simple. Wright goes to England to insp ct a factory where aeroplanes of the Wright type are being made. No Debts ard No Taxation.
