IN OHIJISII to discredit Senators Bourne and Chamber
lain, because they are popular choice senators, the Ore
Ionian and other reactionary organs are engaged in a cam
paign of misrepresentation and abuse. They would shift
the blame of President Taft's neglect of Oregon in the dis
tribution of the reclamation fund from the shoulders of the
president, a standpat senate and house, to the Oregon sena
tors. ' '
Kaels in the case, known since March, are as follews:
The senate passed a bill setting aside $.'50,000,000 for rec
lamation, 51 per cent of the funds derived from sale of pub
lic lands to be expended in the state where the stiles were
made. 'The house, without protest from either Represen
tatives Kllis or Uawley, cut down the sum to $20,000,000,
and eliminated the clause refiuirhiK the land sale proceeds
to be spent in the state making the sales. In J he closing
days of the session, the house bill went to the senate finance
committee, and Chairman Lodge reported back to the sen
ate that with the exception of cutting the fund to $20,000,
000 and placing the projects niidei; army supervision, the
bill was unchanged, and upon the statement the bill was
passed.
Representatives Uawley and Ellis should have notified
the Oregon senators of ihe change made, and the Oregon
senators should not have taken Lodge's word for it, but in
the rush of the closing hours of 'congress many measures
are railroaded through. Even if objection had been made,
it is doubtful if it would have prevented the passage of the
bill.
President Taft followed, the recommendations of the
tinny board in his distribution over the. protest from Ore
gon and the state was sadly neglected. Surely neither
Bourne or Chamberlain can be blamed for the amendment
of the bill in the hotse, for the army board's report or tor
the president's action.
' Indications are that President Taft and the administra
tion are lending themselves to an intrigue to discredit prog
ressives in Oregon its they have endeavored to do in the
east.
SHERIFF CLOSE OH

Held Up and RoIjIjcU Valuables
Are Secured Thouiiht Capture ot
Robbers Will Come Soon.
OUDKX, L'talt. Jan. J. Follow-!
in' a clearly marked train nluii,' tlio
hliorch of Great Sail Lake leading
northward from the tracks of the
Southern Pacific Iinilwnj, Sheiitl
Wilson and a picked poM! today are
closing in on the two bandits who
held tip the westbound Overland lim
ited at Iteehe and robbed the passen

is expected. The robbers wete heav

she! iff has taken with linn men who
cnn "hhoot btrafclil," and it was in
timated before he left that "no
chuiiccs would bo taken'' when tho
outlaws were overtaken.
The sheriff 'lost little time in ot
tin' away when news, of the robbery
was wired to him shortly after mid-
(
rear end oi the train," and, threaten
ing to shoot any one who followed,
lied down the north road.
An account of the robbery was
telegraphed to Ogden irom Iices-n.

THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS.
THERE is no good reason why the proposed charter
amendment should not be passed. Although it em
bodies a repetition of the entire charter, there are;i'eW
changes from Hie old instrument. The object in including
the entire charter was for general convenience. The char
ter has been amended so frequently that it requires a great
deal of research and labor to ascertain its present contents,
and it was adjudged the part of wisdom, to print the old
charter, with the proposed changes as one charter amend
ment. The charter was' revised by a committee composed of
YV S. Crowell, author of the present charter'; C. U Reames,
V. I. Vawter, O. C. Hoggs, h. CI. Porter, AY. N. Campbell
and II. O. Harnett. These gentlemen held frequent meet
ings and section bv section, went over the entire charter
with. City Attorney Neff. Their judgment is to be relied
upon.
All of the changes made are most commendable. Regis
tration is provided for city elections. The poHce court is
divorced from the mayor's office. The council's power to
grant franchises is reduced from' T)0 to 10 years. The right
to permit the sale of water by persons or corporations is
taken awav from the council, which is also forced to pro
vide a sinking fund for bonds. The management of the
water svstem is vested in a commission to be created for
that purpose. A bond issueof $150,000 is authorized U)
replace the wooden main on lfast Alain with cast iron
pipe, so that the street may be paved, and to pay for the
trunk sewer on North Riverside.
If there is anything objectionable in the proposed
changes, a close perusal does pot disclose it.

dogs in this district must either be
muzzled or imprisoned , for' two
months by order of the city council
on account of the. presence of rab
ies among the animals in this vicin
ity. Four known cases of rbnies
litivo been found among dogs. The,
animals were killed; alo n number
of others, on 'suspicion. Luther
Johnson, a ranchman, who was bit
ten by a supposedly mud dog two
weeks ago, is in Portland, taking
Pasteur treatment as a' precaution;
ary measure. Every precaution to
stamp out tho disease is being iiuulo.
Exaggerated .stories concerning tho
prevalence of tho rabies has done
much to injure the market for Wal
