PURSUED AND PURSUER
MEET IN DEPOT
A GRANTS PASS, Sept. 22. S. K.
' Morrison was arrested here shortly
' after noon Wednesday by Marshal
McQrew and a Pinkerton detective
en a charge of embezzlement in the
tast.
'Morrison is a traveling salesman
for a Portland drug house and ar
rived hero from the south, while the
detective also arrived from the north.
All information as to the crime with
l which Morrison is chnrgod rests with
the Pinkerton man and ho is not in
clined to give particulars, except
that the dotectives havo been on
.Morrison's trail for a couplo of
years.
The money was embezzled, it s
sajd, from his employers, a large
drug houso in nn eastern city.
Morrison protests his innocenoo
and claims ho lind n right to do whnt

Take the elevated to Agato. Somo sections nro utilized, but, most of it
is too rough for use, nnd you nro forced to drive alongside, lu some
plncos gravel has been dumped nnd'jcft in tho center for months, untouched.
A new bridgo has been built to io stdo of the cobblestone olovated, and
earth approaches left which will bo impassable after tho first heavy rain.
Cross Bear crook, as you have had to cros3 it for months, while the
work of rebuilding it leisurely proceeds. It will not bo finished in time for
tho npplo crop. It should havo bceu completed long ago. ,
Tako tho Gold Hill road tho samo old ruts, tho same old bumps Unit
lmvo been thero for many years.
Around Tolo, Colonel Ray has boon building roads nt his own oxponso
tired of waiting for tho county to act.
Tho Medford-Jacksonville highway has boon completed again at a cost
of $30,000. A very creditable piece of vond, but too narrow. It wns con
structed two years ago at a considerable cost, tho monoy largely wasted.
Tho Medford-Phoenix rood, which was in fair shape, ling boon rebuilt
a portion of tho way. It did not need it as badly ns other highways.
Tho road north of tho Burrell orchard to Jacksonville has been "im
proved" by dumping gravel along tho center, which has been loft undis
turbed since spring. Tho main road is impassable.
Tho upper Jacksonville road has been improved by having sand piled
over it, so that it is almost impassable. You must drive to one side.'
Tho Trail road, blasted out of rock, has been surfaced with pumico
dust, hauled miles for tho purpose and worthless for tho purpose.
One could go on for hours detailing tho road "improvements" nnd lack
of improvements, costing in tho neighborhood of $90,000, this year but

Couuty Commissioner Patterson moaus all right, but roads can't be
paved with good intentions. He simply doesn't know how. His methods nnd
system nro nntcauntcd and out of date.
Better change tho man and change the system. Introduco business
methods and up-to-dato system.
You can do this by nominating Gcorgo L. Dans as county commissioner.
ANOTHER WINDMILL ATTACKED
WM. M. COLVIG, attorney for tho Southern Pacific, nnti-Statement
candidate for senator, in a circular sent voters, states that Mr.
Von dcr Hcllcn, while a membor of tho legislature six years ago,
accepted a pass from the Southern Pacific. So did tho other members of
tho delegation. So did all the other legislators and state officials of that
time. It was a courtesy extended by the railroad company to all officials,
and entailed no obligation. And not only the legislators had passes, nnd
their clerks as well, but the chairmen of legislative committees had passes,
which they filled out to suit themselves for witnesses.
But tho animus of Mr. Colvig's circular is the assertion that Mr. Yon
der Hellen,' while a member of tho legislature six years ago, accepted a pass
from the Southern Pncific. So did the other membors of the delegation,
including Messrs. Carter, Vawtcr and Jnckson. So did all the other legis
lators and state officials of that time. It was n courtesy extended by. the
jailroad company to all officials, and entailed no obligation. And not only
the legislators had passes, aud their clerks as well, but tho chairmen of
legislative committees had passes, which they filled out to suit themselves
lor witnesses.
In those days, the days before the railroad commission bill became a
law, before the anti-pass bill was passed pnsses were placed at the di3-.
posal of tho chairmen of the political parties, and, when they wanted a
crowd to swell a meeting, passes were sent broadcast, nnd no one knows
it better than Mr. Colvig.
Thero is nothing in Mr. Von dor Hellen's record to show that he
betrayed his constituents for; tho railroad. Indeed, he was one of the few
legislators at that session that voted for an anti-pass bill.
The fact that railroad attorneys wero so conspicuous in tho recent
assembly, tho fact that W. D. Fenton of tho Southern Pncific,.R. W. Wilbur
of tho Portland, Railway, Light & Power company, Charles H. Carey of
tho Hill system, S. B. Huston and G. W. Staplctou nnd" other corporation
attorneys took a leading part in this anti-Statement assembly, which nom-
inaiea jay uowerman, a bouthorn
comment when Mr. Colvig, tho local
uuuauuceu ms canoiaacy axier stating that he would not bo a candidate
and writing tho following to tho press under date of August 15:
"I am one of those mentioned by the poet, when he says:
" 'There are men so deaf to loud Ambition's call
They'd shrink to hear tho obstreperous trump of Fame.' td ?
"I am not a candidate for any office. Respectfully, - , " I

HAWLEY AND THE
REPRESENTATIVE HAWLEY is
candidacy by a stale reprint
Koosevelt is reported to have given a partisan newspaper corre
spondent in the spring of 1908, in which Roosevelt complimented tho Ore
gon representatives for their support of his polices in congress.
The resurrection of this aged and musty reprint will not deceive the
voters of Oregon. What Mr. Hnwley did two years ago is not an issue in
this campaign. Mr. Hawley's record in tho last legislature, when ho bo
trayed every measure of the people, is the issue in this campaign.
President Roosevelt is opposing tho candidacy of every standpatter in
the republican primaries, and were his time not fully occupied in driving
such tigers as Tawney out of the jungles of Minnesota, ho might, have
engaged in a little snipe-shooting in Oregon."
This willful attempt to deceive and his oft-repeated references to tho
spoils he has secured from the "pork barrel" is the only tangible excu.se
he offers for his re-election.
What President Taft has to say of the "pork barrel" isAvorthy of some
attention in connection with the candidacy of Mr. Hawley. It was uttered
yesterday at Cincinntvrl nnd follews:
"But thero is another legislative abuse as dangerous, and that is tho
selfish combination of representatives of the majority to expend tho money
of the government for tho temporary benefit of a part of tho people with
little benefit to tho whole. It is thn ilntv f Mm n;nnt., n.i i :
lty to legislate for tho benefit of tho
.. uu ca,uiiuuuii ol less man mo wnoie people at tho expenso of tho
whole is a species of legislative abuse which comes near corruption' in its
effect. Perhaps it is more dangerous than corruption because those Sup
porting such a combination nro usually bold in its defense. Tho days of
tho 'pork barrel' should bo numbered. Tho country is aroused against cor
porate corruption and tho control of legislative agencies, but it is doubtful
whether constituencies nro yet able to perceive tho higher obligation of
the part of themselves and their representatives not to uso votes in com
bination to appropriate to a nnrt that which belongs to tho whole"
FOREST SERVICE TO
