Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 26. Open ly eharKlriK that 1'resldent Hooaevelt 'in a iarty to the agreement by which the I nited Steel corporation sotiired control of the Tennensee C al and Iron Company, thus fasten ing Its prlB on the steel industry of the south. William J. Hryan tonlKht addressed a vitriolic letter to the president, In which he answers the re cent charges made by the president, and also attacks the ami-trust beliefs of Governor Hughes of New York, who. he declares was made governor by tile tniHts. Iiryan abruptly charges that llusjlics was the beneficiary of trust num-natcH, that he owes his election tf members of corporations, citing the contributions of individual New York financiers, Including J. 1. .Mor gan's $20,000 as proof of this fuel. In this list of contributors, according to Hryan, were John I). Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and Charles M. Schwab, and he declares "that sever al of these men are known to be of ficially connected with the trusts." The fact that Hosevelt quoted Hughes, Hryan Insists Is proof that Judge Taft's altitude on the trust (ii?hiIoi does not meet with tho president's approval. Hryan also again assails the presi dent and the Republican leaders for their attitude on the question of pub lishing rampalgn contributions and expenses, and challenges tho Republi cans to publish these before election. In conclusion, Dryan positively de clares that tho attitude of the presi dency In advocacy of the election ol Judge Taft is a direct reflection on Ills conduct of tho presidential office, and he Intimates that such action Is unworthy of the president. Uryan s telegram, in part. Is as fol lows: "While I have not yet received your ltter and shall not until I reach home next week, 1 have read a copy in tho press and beg leave to submit the following reply: lcilve Haskell to the Courts. "Mr. Haskell, having voluntarily rrplgned from the committee that he might be more free to prosecute those who have brought charges against him, I need not discuss the question of his guilt or Innocence further than to say that the public service which he has rendered and tile vote of confidence which he has received from the people of his state ought to protect him from condemna tion until the charges can be exam ined In some court where partlsau- snip noes not Was and where cam paign exigencies do not compol pre judice. "I do not deem it necessary to ad dress you further, but for the fact that you selzo upon the charges and attempt to make political capital out of them. You even charge that my connection with Mr. Haskell's selec tion as n member of the resolutions committee and as treasurer of the committee raises a question as to my Binceruy as an opponent of trusts and monopolies. As an Individual and as the candidate of my party, I resent the charges and repel the Insinuation. 1'rn.l.sei for llaski ll'H Record. "1 have been In public life for eighteen years and 1 have been suf ficiently consplcous to make mv con duct a matter of public. Interest. I have passed through two presidential; campaigns In which party feeling rnn nign mm epiinet was exhausted. 1 have no hesitation in saying that you cannot find an act, a word or a thought of mine to Justify your par tisan charge. 1 had never been Informed of I any charge against Mr. Haskell con necting him with the Standard Oil company, or with any other trust. I had known him as a leader In the constitutional convention and had known him as one of the men princi pally responsible for the excellent constitution which has been adopted ny a majority or over loii.uoo, 7u of which was furnished by Republicans. n ny inmri run I "enounce lllm? "You say that it was a matter of common notoriety that Mr. Ilatkell was connected with the Standard Oil company. 1 have a right to assume that If so serious nu objection had ex isted to Mr. llarskell's election and had been a matter of common notor- I lety In Oklahoma, as you say. Judge tail would have felt It his conscien tious duty to warn (he people when tie spoke In Oklahoma. If ho did not have the knowledge, why can ti be assumed that I had It? And If he had It, how can you expect his fail ure to c.unmuulcntK the Information to the people of Oklahoma? If you feel It your patriotic dutv to denounce Mr. Haskell when he is only a member of the national organ- iiatuin, now much more would Mr. Taft have felt It his patriotic duty to denounce Mr. Haskell when he was aspiring to be chief executive of a local state.

You ure a witnts, to be sure, but your Interest In the result of the election must he taken into consideration In weighing our tes timony. Trust Magnates for Taft. "Time is better evidence, and the trust magnates know their interetsts and Ihev are supporting Judge Taft. Not one of the trust magnates helped to secure my nomination. While It is a matter of common not orltty that they were consplclous in tho Republican convention and it Is reii'ly a matter of connmn notoriety that they are supporting your party lu this campaign. "If you name a single official con nected with a law-abiding corpora tion, monopoly or trust who has de clared or will be declare that he is supporting me, I will publicly warn that 1 will enforce against him the present criminal law and will en force against him also the laws de nianded in the Democratic platform as soon as these laws can he enact ed. Publicity of Contributions. "Hut there Is another fact which raises a presumption in favor of our party and against your party. 1 ferred to It In my former letter to you but you inadvertently overlook ed it In your reply and the members of your cabinet, called In for consul tation, evidently did not notice it. 1 stated thai we had not knowingly re ceived a dollar from any official con nected with a corporation known as a trust and that any money so re ceived would be returned as soon as we received knowledge of the fact. 1 now remind you that your conven tion deliberately rejected by a vote of 9 to 1 the plank favoring public ity as to campaign contributions. "Are you willing to say thai any public Interest was served In 1904 by concealing until after election the ! contribution made to tiie Republican campaign committee by Mr. Harri I man and those collected hv him from ! others? j "Will yon ask your national com ' lllittee to publish before election the t contributions above $100? Or, il 'you regard this. as too small a sum, i the contributions above $1,000? or, If this Is too small, the contributions' above $10,000?

M. Andrews, an Eastern colonization ag-, ent, says the Hoseburg Review. The- consideration is not maue ,,uU..., but it is understood to be represent ed well up in six figures. The re mainder of Mr. Waite's holdings lu the Sutherlin Valley, comprising 3000 acres, he will retain for his personal use. Mr. Waite also ac quires a block of stock in the com panv which has been formed by the purchasers for the purpose of put ting the land on the markets in 10 acre tracts. In the line with this project, articles incorporating the "Sutherlin Land and Water Com pany." with a capital stock of $10, ooo", were filed with the county clerk this morning by Mr. aite. Mr Perkins and Mr. Andrews. Ihe remaining people interested in the deal names not learned, are looking over the land today wilh Mr. Per kins. . , , The land involved In this trans action is a part of the Fendel Suth erlin estate, and later comprised the holdings of the Calairooia Investment Company and Sutherlin Valley Land Companv. Through the efforts of these concerns the entire tract of 10, 000 acres has been placed under Ir rigation. The land is of the very highest quality and is adapted to stock raising and fruit growing. Mr. Perkins, one of the purchas ers, has been engaged very success fully in raising fruit in the Rogue River Valley, near Medford. A car load of Cornice pears which he ship ped to New York last year, brought the record price of over. $4,400. Mr. Andrews, his associate, makes a business of bringing carloads of eas tern homeseekers into Oregon and colonizing them. Through his work along this line the population of the Rogue River Valley has Increased very materially during the past two years. AMI SKMKNTS . The character of Zeke Dobson in The Missouri Girl" is one of unique concoction. Among the many im personations of the rural type otter ed to the show-going public there are but a few limited cases where the au thor has even attejnpted to portray this interesting character as he really is Been in in real life. The stage caricature of the farmer is so thor oughly Impressed on our minds that It is almost Impossible tor us to im agine a rural play without the usual impossible characters that are, in many cases, a serious drawback to an otherwise good play. Zeke Is a true portrayal of an hon est, bright. Intelligent country boy; he says and does onl ywnat is natu he says and does only what Is natu peculiar and droll. When In the city he makes ludicrous mistakes and his Idea of "city folks" and the re marks he makes about them are ex tremely comical, but at the same time true to life. "The Missouri Girl" will be seen at the Eugene theatre Tuesday, September 20. "Little Johnny Jones," the popular musical burlesque, is to be one of the attractions at the Eugene theatre this seaon. party asset, for the advancement of a personal friend or a political protege.

What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedv, fulfills every wish in curing rlieumatisrii, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during tiie night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
