Bryan Tuesday demand ed t bat President Roosevelt prove bis charge tbat Haskell was oonnected with the Standard Oil company an d that tbe Standard Oil Was baok of the present Bryan campaign. Tbe demand was made in a telegram addressed to tbe chief executive and came as a result of Roosevelt's state ment tbat Taft'a defeat would only bring a lasting satisfaction to lot one set of men who, as shown in the cor respondence published by Hearst, were Foraker, tbe opponent of Taft within bis own paity, and who are now be hind Governor Haskell and bis asso ciates, tbe opponents of Taft and tbe opposite party. Bryan's telegram is worded court eously, bnt can bardly be ignored by tbe president, or considered other thau as a oballeuge. He says: "In a statement given oat by yon, yon endorse the charges against Gov ernor Haskell, to tbe effect. tbat he was onoe employed by tbe Standard Oil company in oonneotiou with an attempt to bribe Attorney General Mo uett of Ohio to dismiss a suit pending against tbat company. "In endorsing this charge jou attack tbe democratic paity. saying tbat Has kell stands bigb in tbe couuoils of Bryau. "This ia a charge so eeiioug tbat I cannot allow it to pass nnnotiood. "Mr. Haskell demands an investiga tion now and agrees with yon tbat if be is guilty be is unfit to be oonnected wih .the demooratio party. "I tbink yon will agree vitn me ..bat if be is innocent be deserves to be exonerated from so damning an aoonsation. "Yon add tbat the pnblioatiou of this correspondence has not merely justified in striking fashion tbe action of the preseut administration, but tbat it also oasts a curious sidelight ou tbe attacks upon the administration in tbe Denver convention and in Mr. Bryan's campaign, as tbe selection of Mr. Has kell as chairman of tbe resolutions committee at Denver and also as treas urer of the national committee bad my approval and endorsement. "For this reason I feel it my duty to demand an immediate investigation of the charge which is endorsed by the ptesidnutof tbe United Statos, as one in your bigb position as well as your souse of justioe would prevent yonr sanctioning any snob charge if not proven. "I respectfully request you to fur nish wbut proof you possess or if you have none, request tbat you indioate tbe method in wbioh tbe trnth may be ascertained." Roosevelt's Answer. In ausweriug Bryan, President Roosevelt grills the leader of tbe dem ooratio party for standing on a plat form which be assumes to be drawn by Haskell, who is now treasurer of the demooratio National committee; alloges that Haskell was omnooted with Standard Oil interests; voted against tbe obild labor bill and reit eiates tbe fact that be was defendant in suits brougb by tbe government in Oklahoma to prevent the Creek In- wa Paints, Oils, Glass House, Sign and Carriage Painting E.

Tbe president takes advantage of this opportunity and compares Taft to Bryan, saying: "I put Taft'a deeds again your words. I ask tbat Taft be judged by all bis deeds for be wished none of them forgotten. I ask you be judged botb by the words you wish remem bered and by tbe words seemingly, you and yonr party now desire to have forgotten." A New York dispatch says it baa beoome known at headquarters tbat several committeemen are preparing to use every influence to bring abont tbe removal of Governor Haskell as treasurer of tbe national democratic committee.

Tbe opening of tbe new extension of tbe O. R. & N., railroad into (be Wallowa oountry was elaborately cel ebrated Sunday. A special excursion train from LaUrande carrying several hundred people arrived at tbe town of Wallowa at 1 o'clock and was tbe first passenger tiain to enter tbe country for wbioh Chief Joseph made such a determined .fight in tbe late seventies. People from every section of Wallowa county were present and enjoyed tbe hospitality of tbe citizens of tbe oity of Wallowa, tbe present terminus of tbe road. There were also present representatives of the various Portland and Spokane newspapers. Tbe com mercial associations of Portland were also represented by prominent business men. To reach tbis wonderful country tbe road just opened traverses a canyon, which for scenic beauty and grandeur is bardly surpassed by tbe far-famed Colorado. Ihe line bas been built from Elgin down tbe Grand Ronde river to its junction with the Wallowa. Hogging olose to the lapping rapids of the turbulent stream as it pours its limpid waters from tbe smiling valley beyood, tbe roadbed is oftentimes hewn ont of solid rock, crosses and reorosses tbe river to prevent tunnel ing. It was tbe overcoming of this barrier of nature that long deterred Harriman from annexing tbe wealth of tbe Wallowa valley Wallowa City, tbe present terminus of tbe road, is not to enjoy tbat pres tige long. A track laving crew is con tinuing on up the valley at tbe rate of a mile a day and will be in Enterprise with a special train service inaugurat ed after Ootober 1, and Joseph, tbe final terminns of tbe road, will be reaobed before snow flies.
