1 he atot k men of the great range

videa for the leaning of the raagea oo
ltui vast prairies to herdsmen.
Their objection ia that the system
will prohibit individual ownership

The friend of the lease bill declare
there must tie a fund raised to pay

that theii herders will take care of

.Some time ago the Corvalli Time
an advocnteof Bryan's peculiar view,
made an ugly attack on Congressman
Tongue because tho biard of engin
eers had reported agdnst further Im
proving Yaquina IJay. What
makes the attack more dtwpicable is,
it I an accusation that 1 not true,
Corgreinan Burton, Chairman of
the Hiver and Harbor committee
talking to the Washington corn-spun
dent of the Oregonian, defend Mr,
Tongue, and give the true reason
why the appropriation wa denied
Mr. Burton says:
"The article d- Mr. Tongue groa
injustice. Any one who is familiar
with the situation cannot count It
otherwise than an unjustitlrhlefstlai k
.o one coulil nave luhorel more
strenuously or more ably in behalf of
Yipiina bay than Mr. Toi gue did
lie twice made the fight before the
house, and presented every ptiasihle
argument in favor of the project.
The simple fact I the house was ut
terly opposed to thi Improvement.
The engineering force of the war de
partment has always, regarded this
improvement a impractihle, and ha
oppose.! It in it recomendai ion more
thaony other project within my re
collection. -I am willing to lake a large parf
or the responsibility myself for the
defeat of the proitvt In the house.
It ppSred by the official report of
the chief of engineer that some 1700,
oia tvl lieen expemletl there; a d pth
of about 12 feH oUlalned at low water
and 20 feet or more at high water; a
depth which waa reported to ua a
sutlicient for the purpose of accom
odating coastwiae vessel on the I'm
ciuV'ciatst. Notwithstanding thi the
traffic gradually fell off, amounting
to only 17,843 ton in the year lsyo,
a decrease ot 70oo tons from the pre
vious year. Ia 1S97 there was a still
further decrease, to that the quautity
of freight handled there in a whole
year, according to the official stall
Ilea, was lets than the amount bandied
at mora than a doxjo porta in the
United HUtea in a single day
Under these circumstance it did not
seem right to authorise the expendi
ture of 1 1, OoO.OOO for further impruv.
iug thi waterway.
"A more vital fact, Dcrha, was
that the engineer who examined the
harbor do not think that the large
expenditure sought would result in
giving a permanent ami reliable rhan
net. For these reason a provision
waa inserted in the house bill regal
ing the provision for Yaquin bay.
That Mr. Tongue waa unable to con
viuce the committee or the house
that it should be retained u not his
f.ult. It waa due lo the t mailt re
sulta Ihua far obtainsd, and the Im-
protianility of obtaining any future
result by a further expenditure. A
a matter of fairntw, however, iu de
ference to his wieiws. a provision
was agreed to by the house commit
tee to the effect that a further board
of engineer would examine the lo
cality anJ make a further report, and
that until they reported no further
action in the way of repeal shou'd tie
taken. This board ha made a re
port, and as is known, it was unfav
orable to the project.
"There I still another reason why
it would be unfair to blame Mr.
Tongue for not obtaining a reversal
of the action of the committee in II e
premises; not a single amendment
was made by the house during the
two days' debate of the bill without
the consent of the committee. It Is
probable that In the next river and
harbor hill some provision will lie
made for the removal of rocks in th
harbor. There 1 no disposition here
to discriminate against that locality."
lU-gist ration of voters is not all
pleasure a the following paragraph
from the Albany, Lion Co, Herald
disclose: County Clerk Crabtree
ami hi deputies have their hand
full these days getting the voters reg
istered according to law. ' Many
amusing incident hapsn and it
would take a whole column to relate
even a portion. One notary public
residing a few miles fioin Albany
HUppoaed that each blank must re

pasting in the books, he proceeded
to fold them separate and glue the

aggravating matter and requires the
moat careful attention. Herald.
The situation In the Philllpine
Island is moat satisfactory, in
Northern Luzon the Insurant army
has been scattered and only robber
band remain which are cared for by
companies and detachment of our
army. To the south of Manila the
same condition I fast obtaining.
The hemp ports are freed from Tagal

government is being organoid and
American supremacy i every where
acknowledged. Thi is true not only
in Luzon but .in the other island as
well. Kvents are moving so rapidly
that the 1'hilipine question will la-
out of politic!) before our election
campaigns engage the attention of
voters or it will las in some other
form than It ia uow.
The democrat by fixing the box
before drawing the committee got
all they wanted on the committees
that are lo decide the Kentucky
contests. Of course this contest wil
be a farce but the democrats by not
shaking the box got the members on
the committee that would do as the
machine told them lo. A democra
tie election hoard has said that the
republican ticket wa elected now a
democratic legislature will say that
thi same republican ticket was not
elected if the machine can run the
party ami it looks as if it would.
