ENTERPRISE TMDFPFN BENCE ESTABLISHED 1883. MULKEY USES P00RP0L1CY ATTACKS PUBLISHED RECORD OF CONGRESSMAN HAWLEY. ATTEMPTS TO SHOW THAT MR. HAWLEY HAD NO HAND IN SE CURING APPROPRIATION FOR PURCHASE OF LOCK8. Friday evening In hi address t,i..i i inn H. K. Mulkey. who In contesting with. Congressman Haw lev for the nomination as Ropresetit finiLTiHH from tbe First Mll9 1. .-r- - lllulrlr.t 11,11,1m HOIIlll Slatt'llR'Ht that appmr far from tho facts, as refer unce to newspaper files, letter file ...mitten flit.- and the Congrosslon al Record demonstrates. Ho lubored tlmt Mr. Hawiey was not instrumental in securing the ap proprlatlona for tho Oregon City locks . v,.. einuluur waterway, anu mm lun .. claimed that he had proven this be in Italics tti (HUSC lilt! 4fcV . . - - tbe bill as reported by the conferees. Mr. Mulkey was exceedingly Ili ad vised relative to those appropriations and tho manner In which they were .-.,,r,.,i nr ho wilfully sought to mislead Ills audience. A brief refer facta will show Mr. Haw-ley's hand In these matters, and Mr. Mul i,,,., or,i,i have o informed himself iwi.i h thu inclination and industry with the. renu'slte falrnvss. First. Mr. Hawiey has never made the statement that unassisted and alone he secured the enactment of i..,riBiniinii. With two branches f r-m.cross. the House of Represent atlves and tho Swmte. through which iiuiiiinn must nass. claims of this nature coulil properly bo called egotistical. But what he can claim, and what the facts bIiow, he wa:, In strumental In securing both- the ap nronriationa for the Willamette locks at Oregon City, and the improvement of tho SluslaW waterway. The House of Representatives Is by custom and constitutional designa tion that branch of the national leg islature which makes appropriations :pr national uses. All such bills or iginate there, and when the Senate makes any amendments, tho Houso must pass upon them and concur be fore the bill Is enacted Into law, and as the House is the watch-dog of the treasury, large lumbers of Senate amendments are rejected araiualy. During the 60th Congress, Mr. Ilaw ley took up with the Portland Cham ber of Commerce, the. various com mercial bodies of the Willamette val ley, the State Railroad Commission, and the Secretary of State, the mat- ter of securing facts and figures up whlch he could secure an appro- on tmn nun tn necomuanv a priiit.un ut like appropriation by the State of Or egon for tbe purchase or construction of locks at Oregon City. His requests were compiled with and he received a large mass of valuable and very Important data which so far as known was the only data collected by any member of the Oregon delegation. In order to secure an appropriation It Is first necessary to secure a favorable report of the United States Engin eers, and this he set about to do. The survey was In due course author ized by his efforts and based on the facts above referred to, but up to the time the river and harbor bill of last session had passed the House, no report had been received from Ma jor Mclndoe, the local engineer, al though a report had been called for several times. Tjhls was in part due tJ the bad health of the engineer and lack of help, and the Siuslaw wnterwav. as well as a portion of the Coquille waterway, were likewise with out rpnorts. However, Mr. Hawiey Jiad filed areuments in each of tne rases, as well as made numerous oral Mm tlin the bill " "" eiured appropriation fr every . ... . .

Thla goes to show that tneyjtne uue oi me v..eSUU were wl'hout any at that time. The data had been on file with the House , Committee on River and Harbor and tbe United States Engineers for several months, and was open to In spection. The Morning Oresonlan of Juno 7, 1910, says editorially: MR. HAWLEY'S SUCCESS "The conference committees of the Senate and House have agreed upon po:i ' .. . ihn :'.f)i).Ofio annronriatlon for ine purchase or construction of locks at nrr.imn CMv and G0.O)O for the Utr .,,. .. iv, i-ntu.r Willamettd River.

The success of Representative Haw- ley in thisi matter, as well as in nut merous other river and harbor appro priations,, fully vindicates the Judg ment of the people in returning him to the post Which he has filled with such credit to himself and advantage to the state." . i Mr. Hawiey secured the survey for the Siuslaw and the appropriation followed as in the above course. The Port of Siuslaw, organized under the faw.s of the State of Oregon, upon Mr. Hawley's advice, the President of which Is Hon. I. B. Cushman, of Acme, Oregon, and the people of Jane .county know the facts and are appreciative of the services rendered them as many letters and telegrams on. file in Mr. Hawley's office indi cate.

The only condition Imposed by the Indian department Is that stock men give bonds to cover all damage which 0e stock may be in transit and this is agreeable to stockmen.

The recent progress of the school iv suuwh uy u.o n.u.."6 o - tion, in competition with the state schools of Washington, Caliornia and Utah. A majority of the pupils enter schuol not knowing a word of lan guage, not even their own names, j and the transformation of the se pu- I pils Into Intelligent young men and women and skilled workers, capable of independent, useful and happy cit izenship, Is truly marvelous. A cum ber of graduates are successfully pursuing courses at the National Col lege for the deaf in Washington, IX C. ' Through ignorance of the existence of the school, or misconception of its purpose and character, , there are deaf children in many communities who are not sent to school at all, or are not( sent at the proper time. Thus these children are compelled to lose many years of valuable time, and others are actually allowed to grow up to manhood and womanhood, ignorant, helpless, dependent, unable to express their simplest wants in verbal language, cut off from social converse, mentally and spiritually starved and stunted. Their very un necessary plight Is infinitely worse than that of the wholly illiterate Ihearing person, and surely no mis sionary, or social, or clvio duty was ever more sacred than that of see- Ine- that there are as few such cas state orovides free every tacuiiy wi the prevention of such disastrous re- suits.
