The following letter from Mr. Fulton to The Evening Telegram denies the report, and as this paper published the statement at the time, we take pleasure in giving equal publicity to his letter of de nial: Washington, D. C. Feb. 20 (To the editor of The Telegram In a late issue of The Telegram, of the 13th inst.,' I think, appeared an ar tide headed "Shadow on Ham mond. Investigation to include Senator Charles W. Fulton," etc I have not seen a copy of the paper, but a friend cut out an article and mailed it to me. It is alleged in substancejthat Hammond's trans actions in timber lands are under investigation, and that I was his attorney. It is directly alleged that the combination was Ham mond. PilLsbury and Kribs, and that the attorneys for these mani pulators were Mitchell and Tanner and present United States Charles W. Fnlton." It is stated that ''there is as yet no positive indica tion that Senator Fulton will be drawn into the government's net, but his connection with Hammond's dealings is under investigation, and if it is shown that in 1001 he received money from Hammond for his services he will be liable to in dictment," etc. Under ordinary conditions on publication of such an article concerning me I would be justified in instituting an action for ibel, but I realize that under the influence of the present atmosphere in Oregon, charged as it was with rumors of impending revelations and startling developments, even newspaper reporters become hysteri cal and fail to observe that regard for private character that under dif ferent circumstances would control them. As a matter of fact I have never at any time acted or been employed in the capacity of attorn ey, or otherwise, in any land mat ters, or in any matter whatever, by the parties mentioned, or any of them, excepting that I have repre sented Mr. Hammond and the Astoria Company in two cases in the United States Court, and have bean attorney for the Astoria & Co lumbia River Railroad Company, in which he is iutcrested. Aside from those matters, I have never represented him in any capacity in any manner. So far as his land purchases are concerned I have never in any capacity represented him or advised him or any of his associates, or any corporation or company in which they, or any of them, are or have been interested In making this statement I would not have you infer that I assume or believe that Mr. Hammond has been engaged in any questionable transactions in acquiring lands. Knowing him as I do, I am conn dent that he has not been so en gaged. I wish simply to make it clear that I haye never at any time, either before 1 was elected senator or since, been in any capacity em ployed by Hammond or his associ ates, or any of them, or represented or advised him or them in rela tion to any lands or land matters whatever. Indeed, this, statement need not be restricted to them, for in truth I have never presented any person in the matter of acquiring public lands. Not but that I might properly have done so before my election, but it so happens that I never did. Nor have Mr. Ham mond, or his associates, or any of them, paid me any money or other compensation for any services what ever since ray election to the sen ate. If he or thev have been inter- ested in any lands, or land matters, ' pending before the interior depart ment, the general land onice, or any local land office, at any time, I have not been aware of it. I can not now recall that any of them have ever communicated with me about any such matters, though of course, it is possible that some of them have written to me about some tract pending before the de partment. It is my belief that none of them ever has, though it is of course, possible that one or more of them should have done so and in the multitude of letters of a si mi lar character such lact escape my my memory. I am certain of this however, that no person will say that he has ever paid me anything for any work or services performed in or about any department of the government. Nor slid your re porter possess any knowledge what ever of any facts that justified him in making the insinuations against me contained in the article men tioned. The mere fact that he knew that I had represented Mr, Hammond in some other matters did not justify him in asserting that I had represented him and his al leeed associates or any of them, in the land matters mentioned. That I did so represent them is in the article positively asserted. The only open question being whether I had accepted compensation or not. It occurs to me that the state ment that I represented them was extremely reckless, and I know it was absolutely false. You have ever been kind and courteous in your references to me, and hence I am certain the article was not prompteifby an unfriendly disposi tion, and am confident that now I have called your attention to the injustice done me you will prompt ly and fully correct it? While the present perturbed state of the pub ic mind in Oregon, due to grave charges pending against a number of prominent citizens, affords an op portunity for reckless and malici ously disposed persons to put in circulation groundless rumors and false reports. I respectively sub mit that on the other hand it should prompt the conscientious newspaper to exercise an exceptional degree of caution against being made the medium through which publicity is given to idle or malicious charges. Very truly yours, C. W. FULTON. Fire at The Dalles. A fire at The Dalles, the origin of which is unknown, destroyed property to the value of 130,000 ast Sunday evening. The fire started in the basement of the Vott block, the first floor being occupied by mercantile houses, the second by offices and Castle Hall of the Knights of Pythias. The flames ate their way from the basement upward to the first floor and into the drug establishment of A. E. Crosby. Chemicals and drugs fed the flames, which gained the sec ond floor before the firemen could control the blaze. While it is the opinion of some that incendiarism responsible for the fire, others believe the flames came from nat ural causes, particularly as the fire broke out so early in the evening. It is believed at the Merchants' Exchange in San Francisco that the steamboat reported in distress at Crescent City Monday morning is the steamer Oregon, which left that port Sunday. A Salem dispatch says that the balmy weather is causing fruit growers apprehension of danger to the fruit crop of 1905 from the rav ages ol late frosts. L. T. Reynolds, formerly a member of the State Boarn of Horticulture, and an ex tensive grower, says there is plenty of cause for worry. Already buds are beginning to show aiens of swelling, whereas the sap should not begin to rise until late in March, as killing frosts frequently occur during the early part of the month. The latest killing frost known for many years was about ten years ago. It came on April 9th and not only injured the fruit then in bloom, but did irreparable laraage to the fruit trees as well.

The Oregon Development Leag ue will hold a convention in the city of Portland, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 4th and 5th. There are now fifty-one regular ly organized bodies holding mem bership in the Oregon Develop ment League, and this makes it the largest and best organized state body in the union theie is no oth er state organizations in the United States which can compare with it in completeness of representation. The following towns, embracing every section of Oregon, are repre sented in the state league by local organizations: Albany, Arlington, Ashland, Astoria, Baker City, Burns, Condon, Corvallis, Cottage Grove, Dallas, Drain, Echo, Elgin, Enterprise, Estacada, Eugene, Fairview, Forest Grove, Grants Pass, Harrisburg, Heppner, Hilla boro, Hood River, Huntington, In dependence, lone, Irrigon, Jeffer son, Joseph, Junction City, Klam ath Falls. La Grande, Lebanon. Marshfield, McMinnville, Medford, Myrtle Creek, Newberg, North Bend, North Yamhill, Oakland, Ontario, Oregon City, Pendleton Portland, Prineville, Roseburg, Sa lem. The Dalles, Union and Vale. The general officers are as fol- ows: President, li. L. bmith, Hood River; secretary and treasurer, Tom Richardson, Portland; vice presi dents, F. J. Blakeley, Roseburg; Bennett, Irrigon; F. W. Waters, Salem; J. II. Aitkin, Huntington; Q. A. Bowlby, Astoria. A reception will be tendered the eague by the Portland Commercial Club. The railroad rates for the occasion will be announced later. The active officers of the league are determined that this Catherine shall result in a plan being decided upon that will insure all the differ ent interests of Oregon being so re presented on the grounds of the Lewis and Clark exposition as to enable every visitor to get reliable data regarding any portion of this state upon any subject. Home seekers are now visiting every part of Oregon and there will be many thousands coming here during the fair, who will desire to investigate the different sections of the state, and it is the purpose of the league to be of assistance to such home seekers. A complete program is being ar ranged and will be given out later. A dollar dinner given by the mem bers of the league has been dis cussed, but is not yet definitely de cided uyon. $300 an Acre. R. II. Wallace, of Portland, has purchased E. A. Franz' 40-acre fruit farm, two miles south of Hood River. The property sold for $1 a,- 000. Carrie Nation is back in Kansas, and the first thing she did was to snatch a cigar from the mouth of the driver of her cab, and he im mediately dumped her into a snow bank. He was arrested and found not guilty by the jury. Carrie has about outlived her usefulness and it is "past 40" it wouldn't do any harm if she should step off the earth. The postmistress of St. Johns, knowing that an organized gang burglars were paying particular at- IlJj tention to postoffices all over the country, played a low-down trick on a festive trio that went through her postoffice the other night. Be fore she left the building for the night she took the money with her nd hid about $200 in stamps, and in the morning she found that bur glars had looted the building, but they secured only $6 in small change. A fine bronze bust of Gen. Geo. Washington was presented to con gress on Washington's birthday by the French people. You Can't Lose Him. Americans are a home loving race. Yet in every part of the globe citizens of the United States are to le found. Usually the American has a voice and a vote in affairs wherever he is. No matter how long he may be New England shores away from UI A mull Coast ports, New Orleans or the Great Lakes, the American is still an American. He is never a citi zen without a country. Though he may le to all intents and pur poses a citizen of Zanzibar or Pata gonia or India, he is still some where an American and through every foreign nfliliatiou shines the light that does not fail, that of loy alty to home and native laud and belief that .of all the countries un der the sun this is the best and the greatest. The citizens of this land adapts himself readily tocosmopoli tan conditions. He readily be comes a basis unit ol new systems. All climates look alike to him. Still he remembers that" of his own home region as embodying the chief delights of mundane existence He takes to the chop sticks of the Middle Kingdom and the dried bananas of the tropics and comes out alive. Yet the pies that moth er made live vividly in his memory. Where gold fields open near the poles there is to le found the Am erican. Usually, also, if any- color shows, it is in his buckskin pouch. If canals are to le dug at Panama or in farthest countries of earth, di viding strange lands and uniting a un Known seas, an American engi neer is likely to have something to do with it and the first shoveful of earth is turned by an implement made in Pennsylvania. From ev ery standpoint, harmony serves that this should be so. For in the American type is to le observed a singular separation from others, yet an absoring faculty strong enough to include and efface the European habit. And hereby hangs the strangest and most interesting tale in the annals of races. Albany Herald. A 3-year-old son of Warren Da venport, living about two miles south of Hood River, was found dead Monday morning in an open well, in which there was ten feet of water. The child had leen in the water more than an hour before he was missed by his mother. The senate, sitting as a court of impeachment for the trial of Chas. Swayne; district judge for the Northern District of Florida, on Monday acquitted him on all of. the twelve articles of impeachment brought by the national house of representatives. On none of the articles was there even a majority for conviction, although it required two-thirds to convict. Judge Swayne was not present. 1 There's a lot of Satisfaction in a hoo which wear, needs only liko new." You ease and profit in Hamilton-Brown Shoes your children will want something pretty and good.

With only three months remain iug before the opening of the Lewis and Clark exposition on June 1st, the demand for exhibit space by manufacturers and foreign govern ments has been so great that not only is every square foot of the or iginal provision contracted for, but much additional space as well. dome time ago it was lound ne cessary to order an additional ex position structure, which is now being built. The new building. which bears the name Palace of Manufacturers, Liberal Arts and Varied Industries, will contain 90,- 000 square feet of exhibit, space, equaling in size the Agricultural Palace, at present the largest struc ture on the grounds. It has now been found necessary to add to the space in the Palace of Machinery, Electricity and Trans portation, by adding two wings, one at each end, each wing to be 100x100 feet. The building as it now stands is 100 feet wide by 500 feet long. Work on the exposition struc tures is progressing rapidly. Ten of them are now completed, and the others will be finished in a few weeks. Only exhibits of unusual attractiveness are now being ac cepted, special attention being paid to working exhibits which show the process of manufacture rather than the manufactured products. Senator Mitchell. The enemies of Senator Mitchell in Oregon seem to be determined to cast as much humiliation upon him in his old age as it is possible for them to do and are adding in dictments to indictments. The public will be dispored to sympath ize with Senator Mitchell. He has been in public life a long time. He is a man of great wealth and far alove the temptation to do wrong for a paultry $2,000. This fact eliminates any motive for him to do as is charged by men who are before the country as thieves and perjurers upon their own con fessions. Of course a previous good repu- tation is no guarantee against wrong doing, but it creates a pre sumption that suggests the withold ing of popular judgment until the facts are brought forth from reputa ble sources. Senator Mitchell is entitled to the general "benefit of the doubt," and, as matters stands HV after month's ot polish to "Look 11 find comfort, the OUR Shoes No better made, guarantee goes No better can be with every pair.

Tsje senator's denial of guilt made to the senate was in good taste and he is doing the proper thing in attending to his regular duties as a senator, embarassing though the situation may be. Se attle Times. Who Can Ik'at Chamberlain ! A Salem dispatch says that Dr. James Withycombe, of Corvallis, director of the agricultural experi ment station, is the only republican who is an avowed candidate at this time for the nomination against the democratic leader. It is a fore gone conclusion that Chamberlain will head the democratic ticket in the next campaign. Withycombe has been known as a candidate for the republican nomination for sev eral months, and he makes no se cret of ' his aspirations. He is awake to the fact that the nomina tion in the campaign of 1906 must come Irom the members 01 the party, the rank and file, and not from a state convention, or a party boss. People who have discussed the matter say that Withycombe's best chance for the nomination lies in his wide and favorable acquaint ance among the fanners, with whom he has mingled a great deal in his work at farmers' institutes. The gumcnt that has been advanced in Withycombe's behalf is that he belongs to no faction and can get the united support of the party if nominated, and that if elected, he will be in a position to perform the duties of the office without regard to the likes and dislikes of any fac tion. There has been talk for some time to the effect that ex-Governor Geer will try for the nomination, but since the recent developements in the land fraud cases it is said he will go before the people as a can didate for the United States senator ship to succeed MitchelL Secre tary of State Dunbar has also been mentioned as a probable candidate, as has C. A. Johns of Baker City, I. L. Patterson of Salem, E. L. Smith of Hood River, M. A. Moody of The Dalles, Henry E. Ankeny of Eugene, and W. J. Furnish of Pendleton. Henry I loch, who was arrested sometime ago in Portland and re turned to Minneapolis, Minn., on the charge of embezzling $ 1,000, and who was alleged to have a wife in Portland and another in Minne apolis, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The Minne apolis wife has forgiven Hoch and there will be no prosecution for bigamy unless the Portland woman brings the action. We can print your auction bills on short notice and at right prices. .
