At the annual meeting of the Commercial club, Monday night, it was wisely decided to continue along business rather than spread-eagle or even social Une3. The Commercial club U for business, for work, for development of Enterprise and Wal lowa county; not for social amuse ment, not a school of politics and oratory. The club has bejn successful along its present lines in accomplishing Whatever It has undertaken. And it has been free of factions and Jeal osies, no doubt because It ha3 been a purely business affair. The club Is democratic In Its membership, for every citizen of the town Is a member by virtue of his citizenship, and as such Is entitled to attend and participate in the gen eral club meetings, if any should be held. Above all he has the right to attend the annual organization meet ing and help select the officers who choose the executive or governing committee that does the work. From that time until the next annual meet irg the executive committee Is the club as far as action is concerned. The executive committee, to put It tersely, la the Commercial club stripped down to fighting weight. This Is the same working principle as that of a private corporation, that has been said to be the most effici ent method of conducting business, private or public, that the wit of man has devised. This long explanation of the plan of the Commercial club is given es pecially for the benefit of the many newcomers In our city, who have wondered at the absence of "hooray meetings" that usually accompany the workings of such bodies. There Is more work cut out for the club this coming year than ever be fore In Us history, and whosoever President Miller may designate as his executive, committee, should have the loyal support of every citizen, for they will be devoting their time, and tlolng the very best they know how, for the general welfare, for your and ' my Interests as well as thoir own. Let every knocker be conspicuous by his absence. If any man has any Idea for the betterment of the town, let him go to the officers or members of the committee; and It any man lias a grouch let him do likewise. With hustling, unselfish officers, the club la in splendid shape to clinch the work of the past and blaze out new and greater paths of ma terial development.

NELSON WOULD CLOSE LANDS Secretary Garfield Says Special Land Agents Must Help' Honest Entrymen. Washington, Jan. 25. Governor Magoon, of the provisional govern ment of Cuba, In his annual report to the secretary of war, brings his at tention to the wreck of the United States battleship Maine in Havana harbor and recommends that the government take Immediate steps to accomplish its removal without fur ther delay. Ho says: "It will be necessary In a short time to begin dredging In order to provide proper anchorage for the large amount of shipping now enter ing the harbor, unless the wreck is removed. "Even more imnortant than thi obstruction to navigation is the fact that this wreck, although It contains the bodies of 63 American seamen, or what is left of them, Is apparent ly abandoned and foreotten bv th government and people of the United States. Thousands of Americans and ' and other nationalities annually en ter the harbor of Havana .and prob ably not one omits to express regret and censure for the deplorable spec tacle. "It has become a national renrnnnh and an international scandal. The neglect to remove the wreck is at tributed by many, especially the large Spanish contingent in Cuba, to the fear that its removal will dis close the fallacy of thn nnnnlnr ho. lief that the Maine was destroyed by a torpedo or mine instead of an In terior explosion." j Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, a chairman of the public lands com mittee, is author of a bill, recently Introduced, which is Intended to re peal the timber and stone act, and forever put an end to the sale or dis posal of public tlmberlands. The bill Is drawn In line with the conserva tion policy of the President, and makes a blanket transfer to the For est Service of all jurisdiction over the entire timbered public domain, reserved and unreserved. The Nelson bill is of such Import ance and proposes such a radical change In existing law, that It stands no chance of passage this session. The proceeds from sales of public timber shall be divided, one-fourth to go to the state territory, to be ex pended under the direction of the Legislature for roads and schools In the counties where the timber sold was located at the time of sale. In those states affected by National rec lamation act the remaining 75 per cent of the money shall go Into the reclamation fund, but in other states It goes into the general treasury fund. Secretary Garfield has received many complaints from Western Sen ators and Congressmen about the manner In which land office special agents have harassed entrymen who have been endeavoring honestly to acquire title to public lands. One of the most vigorous protectants has been Senator Borah, of Idaho, who has cited specific Instances In which special agents have not only failed to carry out instructions with refer ence to assisting honest setters, but have gone to the extreme of under taking to dispossess settlers, without authority of the Interior Department. He also cited Instances where special agents, continuing along the linos In vogue under Secretary Hl choel, had done their utmost to dlscrad t honest settlers who were making ev ery endeavor to comply with the law. Secretary Garfield has specifically Btated that special agents are not to place obstacles In the path of honest entrymen, but must render them all proper aststance. An early decision has tieen prom ised in the case now before the su preme court Involving the question of whether the more stringent laws of Oregon regulating the use of purse-nets on the Columbia dominate the lessors laws of Washington, cov-.! erlng the same pursuit. The case Is that of a Washington ' fisherman, who, while violating no : law of his own state on fishing In the Columbia with a purse-net was , made to answer in Oregon courts which hold It an offense. The bill providing an annronrin tlon of $50,000 for the establish-' ment or two fish hatcheries on Puget Sound, was brought before the sen-1 ate by Senator Piles and passed. The bill has already passed the house. The secretary of the Interior has urged congress to pass a bill In the Interest of reservation Indians whn have taken allotments which hv turned out worthless. He urges the '' passage of a bill permitting Indians' to relinquish unsuitable lands and I elect in lieu lands of equal area from the unappropriated portion of the reservation. He Insists that the Indians are entitled to the best land. ot the reservation, prior to the open ing. BRANDENBURG ON TRIAL Not Written by Ex-President. New York, Jan. 25. In the crim inal branch of the supreme court the trial of Broughton Brandenburg, the literary agent accused of grand lar ceny in the second degree in connec tion with the sale to the New York Times of a political article purport ing to be written by Grover Cleve land, was begun. "It Is a very simple case," said District Attorney Jerome. ' There is no doubt In my mind as to this de f ndant's guilt. I have had a chem ical analysis made of the ink used in s , r fit I K ' K V If i ' -7 x BROUGHTON BRANDENBURG. the signing of e article, and it is entirely different from the ink used by the late president and different from that used in his home. The paper is also different." "If Mr. Jerome relies only on the facts already adduced," Bald S. B. Thomas, counsel for Brandeuburg, "1 doubt seriously if he will ever get his case to the jury. As to his statement that the ink used in the Cleveland home, if that is true it does not prove anything, for Mr. Cleveland signed the article in his office, not at home." GOSGROVEJN OLYMPIA Will Return to California Soon After Inaugural Ceremonies. Olympia, Jan. 27. Governor-elect Cosgrove arrived here today in his private car from California. He was accompanied by his wife and R. Fitzgerald, who is private secretary to Paul Shoup, but in this Instance acted for the Southern Pa cific in making a speedy trip to Olympia and return. Howard Cos grove met his father In Portland and accompanied him to Olympia. The governor looks and says he feels much better, but owing to his phycical condition there will be no elaborate inaugural ceremony. Chief Justice Rudkin will adminis ter the oath. It is customary for the Incoming governor to formally take over the office at a joint meeting of the house and senate. The outgoing governor reads his message to the joint assem bly and the newly elected governor is then sworn In and the legislators listen to his message. Governor Cosgrove's stay in Olym pia will be brief, and after' he Is sworn In he will turn the office over to Lieutenant-Governor M. E. Hay and return to California. , While Lieutenant-Governor Hay is acting governor, Senator A. S. Ruth, of Thurston county, will preside over the senate. The train which carried the gov ernor north Is the first to pass over the break In the railroad line near Orland, Cal., which had closed this line for several days. A. B. McKlnley Dead. Denver, Jan. 26. A. B. McKlnley, iiatlonel committeeman from Colora do during Cleveland's administration and one of the leading lawyers of the West, died here of neuralgia of the heart.
