MAGNETIC SURVEY OF EARTH.
Dr. L. A. Bauer Telle Beientists What
Yaeht Carnegie Hae AooomplisherL
Dr. L. A. Bauer of the Carnegie In
atltute at Washington, under whose
direction a general magnetic survey o f
the earth has been begun, spoke of the
project the other day during the con­
vention at Boston of the American As­
sociation For the Advancement o f Sci­
ence. The Carnegie, a vaaael of 000
tons from which all Iron haa been e x ­
cluded and having no metals to affect
the compass and other magnetic In­
struments, la now on her first trip
and is expected to reach N ew York
early In 1010.
“The work accomplished ao far haa
been moat gratifying," said Dr. Bguer.
“The principal result of value during
the cruise to England was to reveal
a system atic error In the navigator’s
compass charts amounting on the aver­
age to about one degree. The general
effect o f these’ errors would be to
throw the track of an Atlantic liner,
when her course must be shaped whol­
ly by the compass and log, alw ays to
the northward from ten to tw enty
miles from the track ahe alms to fol­
low.
“A peculiarity o f the errors discov­
ered Is that they turn the bead o f the
vessel alw ays toward the Newfound­
land coast, whether she cotnes from
the east or the west. Errors of Impor­
tance have also been found In the ex­
isting charts o f the dip o f ths mag­
netic needle and of the strength of
the earth's magnetic force."

stories related of the Iow an the ma­

them on himself.
Senator Dolliver w as born In that
part of Virginia that afterw ard be­

speech near hla old home In one cam ­
paign and, growing reminiscent, said,
w ith tears in that famous silver voice
of hla:
"How well I remember thia placet
Thia la where I was born. Over there

gathered many n bushel of chestnuts.
Why. 1 suppose when I was a boy I
gathered fully fifty bushels of chest­
nuts here.”
“Yes,’* shouted a bull chested man
In the rear, “and you have been ped­
dling them out ever since!”
One of his favorite stories w as thia;
“During my lust campaign I had ar­
ranged to speak at a large outdoor
meeting in a certain town in Iowa. It
appears that, hearing of my proposed
speech, one of the prisoners In the
county Jail was for some reason or
other extremely desirous of being In
the uudlence that I was to address.
This man wrote a note to the sheriff,
expressing admiration of my oratorical

bill plaoes In your pocket each year
and In w hat other way you have been
benefited by your term In the senate
of the United S tates than to raoelve
your dictatorial lastructlona a s to
whom they should oaet their vote for.
How many cltiaene of Oregon whe
their bread by the sw eat of
their brow" honor you w ith their ao-
qualntanoa? What effort have you
ev er made to aoqualat yourself with
the d esires, hopes or requlrecseafie of
“ea rn
tba people who m ake Oregon great,
nam ely, the produce re?
During the four y e a n sin ce you
w ere elected Portland and tha state
of Oregon have suffered Immense
lose In com m ercial ways on aooount of
your n eglect of official duties. With­
in tha Met few m onths you stood by
and w ithout protest permitted tha re*
clam atlon acts to h e ao amended that
this state lost over 96,009,000 which
was due It, and should have been in­
vested In Irrigation projects in Ore­
gon. This loss Is only a sm all par
oent o f the aotual dam age we have in­
curred by reaeon of yottr dereliction
In duty. By reason ef yeur careless­
n ess In this particular our desert
lands will eonttnus to he Inhabited by
tb s eoyetos, , Jackrabbits and other
creatures of the desert, when by the
exercise ef any veaaeabhle diligence
on your part these deserts would have
been reclaimed and happy fam ilies
would be Inhabiting these lands, pro­
ducing large crops which would have
supplied the needs ox other portions
of ths state. Evan whan tha Board
of Army Engineers w as here last
month to exam ine the Um atilla pro­
ject with a view of correcting some
of your errors and om issions, you did
not have sufficient Interest In th s w el­
fare and developm ent of this sta ts to
acoomp&ny the party or to urge upon
the members ths m erits of our only
eligible reclamation p roject
You
have devoted your tim e to tennis,
golf and other pastim es, while our
merchante have been dented their rea­
sonable portion of contracts for gov
ernment supplies. Yet you presume
to dictate to the people of Oregon as
to whether or not they shall support
me.
Man of Many Parties.
In this Interview you say: "All ad
mire the courage of the man who goes
down to defeat fighting for the princi­
ples In which hs believes, but spurn
with contem pt ths man who changes
political creeds for the sake of vic­
tory," and “Chameleons and trucklers
change their oolors, but men of con­
viction fight for their principles to
ths death.” Concerning sem e of these
statem ents, there Is no better author­
ity In the state than yourself, for
within tha memory of young men you
have been a Democrat, a Republican,
a Populist, a non-partisan and all tha
tim e a demagogue.
It is m anifestly apparent to all that
you are no more a republican today
than you were In 1896, when you un­
dertook by treaohery to use the office
of secretary of the Republican Btate
Central Committee to aestet la elect­
ing Mr. Bryan president e f the United
States. It Is also m anifestly true
that you are In league, and for some
tim e have been working in complete
harmony, politically and otherw ise,
with your Democratic colleague, Sen­
ator Chamberlain, and his protege
end legatee, the Democratic nominee
(or governor of this state. While you
prate about reform and the good of
the people, you expect to use the of­
fice of governor ef this state. If It
can be plaoed In th s hands of Mr.
W est, for ths purpose of returning
you to ths senate of ths United States
and to perpetrate e further outrage
upon the people of the country, and
of course the other partner in ux»s
polltloal compact expects at ths end
of his term to be rewarded by re-elec­
tion. You desire to convey to ths peo­
ple of this state the false Impression
that I have sought t> return to the
old system*, of electing United States
Senators, and by the old system I
refer to that method made damnable
by your own practices, which are well
known to our d tixens; which practice«
were Instigated and contributed to by
yourself, and your associates, and yet
you know, and the reoord of thia state
will prove ooncluelvely, that I have
never at any tim e favored or under­
ta k e n oueh a oourse. You know that I
voted for you In 1907, because the
people of the district I represented
gave you their votes, and that I did
this notw ithstanding the fact that I
held you In the utm ost contempt, both
ee a m en and <s a public official. I
told you when you asked me whether
I would support you, that I expected
to d e eo solely upon the ground that
a y oonstttuents had expressed a de­
sire to have you represent them, and
when I oast th s votg for you 1 wanted
you d istinctly to understand It was
the vote of the people of OUllam,
W heeler and Sherman oountles, and
not a y personal choice. In 1904, when
I wae first a candidate for the office
of State Senator, I promised the peo­
ple of my district to st I would vote
for that man for United States Sena­
tor whom I believed they would wish
me to. T his w«s before the direct
primary law was adopted or even
drawn. Statem ent No. 1 was at that
tim e unheard of, and your own un­
savory reputation was so apparent
and notorious that I did not exp ect
that I would be com pelled to vote for
you; nevertheless, when by the ubo
of money and artifice you did oarry
th s district I represented, I cast the
vote Intrusted to me for you. in 1908
I wae again a candidate for the office
of senator, and I again promised the
people of those oountles that I would
cast their vote for United States Sen­
ator for the man chosen by them. Mr.
Oaks carried each of the three coun­
ties I represent, and in fulfillm ent of
that promise. In 1909, I voted for Mr.
H. M. Oaks.
I wish to call your attention to the
further fact that In the recent pri­
mary I did not only receive more
votes than you did when you were a
candidate tor United States Senator,
but that the plurality given to me was
nearly four tim es as large as your«.
As soon as you were nominated In
1909 you cried for party harmony and
th s support of the united party. I not
only gave you my vote in 1907, but
bowed to the will of the people as to
your election and successfully sup­
ported the man for president of the
senate whom you desired; you claim ­
ed that unless your candidate for
president of tbe senate was elected,
the w ill of the people would be
thwarted and you would be defeated.
Since your election 1 have asked you
for nothing and do not ever expect to
aak or receive at your hand any favor
or courtesy, official or otherwise. Even
the oourteay of a letter thanking ma
for the assistance rendered in bring­
ing about your election was not forth­
coming.
I entered the contest under the pri­
mary law In good faith. I publicly an­
nounced that I would support the suc-
oeeaful oandtdate and expected my
friend« and supporters to do likew ise.
In the primary oampalgn you used all
of your Influence, official and per­
sonal, to defeat me. After a fair,
«pea eootost in which no Improper
m ethods were resorted to by any can-
didata, to my knowledge, I was suo-
eeeaful, and I submit that any man
who hsts any elem ent of falrnee« In
his makeup, or any desire to do that
which la right, will. If he has been
defeated In an open polltloal contest,
support «he successful candidate. A
man who has no regard for the obliga­
tions b e ow es his party, who la not
acquainted with the rudiments of fair
play and transgresses all the elem ents
known aa menllneea by bolting a tick­
et solely for selfish reasons, is a trai­
tor to the Interests of the people, an
enemy of the direct primary law and
Is devoid of any characteristics of
real leadership
The difference be­
tw een the venality ef yourself and
the conduct of the honorable gentle­
men who opposed me In the primary
eteetton. 1e meet marked
This con­
test between m yself and the other op­
ponents was devoid of sorimony, per
tonalities or other unpleasant fea­
tures, and these gentlem en are to­
day loysUly supporting ths entire
ticket.
I believe you ere not sincere In
your alleged devotion to the primary
law. If you are I a«k you to an­
nounce publicly whether or not you
will by every means within yeur
power oppose the amendment, change
or repeal gfib the primary law and
other laws that have been heretofore
or at any tim e hereafter may be writ­
ten on the statute books by the people.
Yours truly,
JAY BOWERMAN.
