MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, JULY 23. 1011.
TEDDY
"BIG
ROASTS
n
Declares That Territory Has Been
Strangled by Capitalists Who
Wished to 'Dovciop,' by Making
Immense Fortunes.
NEW YOHK, July 22. Denuncin
lioh of "Hig Husiness" for retarding
Ihu development of Alaska is tlio bur
den of nn nrtiolo just published liere
by former President Hoosevelt in tlio
current number of. the. Outlook.
Koosovelt declares tho territory hns
been Klrnngled "by grout oapitnlists
wish (o Movelop Alaska by makim;
enormous fortunes outside of nnd in
de.finneo of tlio law," nnd by members
of congress, who "under tbe influ
ence or afraid of tbe hostility of cor
porations, decline to permit the pass
age of legislation enabling tbe peoplo
to work honestly and develop tbe coal
fields wtih a fair profit to theuiM-lves
while doing .justice to others."
ColoifeT Ilooscveli .continues: "Con
troller Uay. offers the only ebauee
or at any rate tbe best chance, of a
free outlet from the Beliting rivet
coal field?; lt- was the imperative
duty of the government to keep this
outlet frep ami not tj disjypSe of it (o
individuals.
"'Unfoftunnteiy, the intqrior depart
ment, in October, eliminated from the
government reserves not only 320
acres, the elimination of which had
been mistaken by the department of
agriculture, but 12,800 acres. Wheth
er there was or was not impropriety
in the way in which this elimination
was brought, whether there was im-
propriety in tho insetant filing of the
claims of Richard S. Ityau, docs not
go to tho root of the matter, which
is that no such elimination should
have been made.
"The public interest demanded that
ibis land should be kept under pub
lic control to prevent monopoly or
else its acquisition by private persons
should have been permitted only un
der such conditions as the public need
required. Such action would not
have hindered development, but would
have favored it. for it would have en
abled an honest coloration to do its
part in developing the country.'.
LET OREGON TRY
System fiRisT
Until Merits of Popular Government
Are Demonstrated, Prof. Schttr
man of Cornell, Says Other States
Should Go Slow.
PORTLAND. Ore, July 22. Until
tho merits of tho "Oregon system"
of primary elections, have been es
timated, It Is unailvlsalilc for other
common-wealths to adopt Immediat
ely such a plan of government.
This is tho opinion of Jacob G.
Schurman, president of Cornell Unl
verslty, who is In Portland on his
way to Alaska.
"When theso innovations have
proved themselves safe ,niul practt
cnl." said Professor Schurman,."then
it will be time for their general ado-
lion in all tho states. Personally I
am opposed to the adoption of the
direct primary in New York for tho
present, although both parties are
committed by their state platforms
to the drafting of such u system."
President Schurman says tlio pros
pect of republican success in the na
tional olectlon next year throughout
the east is much better than it was
six months ago. The insurgent move
ment has virtually, collapsed, ho says.
leaving tho nomination of Taft as
sured. If he receives -tho nomination,
Schurman is convinced that President
Taft will bo re-elected?

LONO BEACH, Cnl., July 22.
John Slater, Spiritualist, served no
tice on -politicians-today that on next
TiiosHay he would give to the public
the names of the candidates in the
next presidential election nnd at the
same time would name the winner.
Pn trick Welch of Simkano, prin-
r cipal owner of the Rogue Hiver Canal
company, ot Medford, and his asso
ciates have been awarded the con
tract for the construction of ;"1 miles
Of the Canadian Northern railroad
between Port Arthur and Sudbury,
Out., for $12,000,000.
This is the second large contract
obtained by the same persons from
the same company within a month,
and constitutes a. new record in the
annals of railroad contracting. The
time set for the completion is Octo
ber. 1913.
The contract awarded will be con
ducted under Ihe firm name of Folrj
Bros. & tho Northern Construction
company, those thus associated being
Pat Welch and J. W. Stewart, of
Snoknne, Foley brothers of St. Paul,
Minn.; A. It. Mann and A. C. Mac
kenzie, of Toronto.
SAl.KM, Oiv July 22. Governor
West intends to ohano the old adage
that "it takes a thief to catch a
UuVn and will act on the belief that
it "takes a convict to catch a con
vict." , '
He said today. that tlio next time
one of his "honor men" makes a
break from the work that has be
assigned to him outside of the peni
tentiary ho will select two or three
convicts on whom ho believes he Can
implicitly rely and will send tlirm
forth to capture the fugitive.
He will go even farther than that
and supply the coiiviets with guns.
That the convicts so delegated
would make their attempts to catch
the fugitive onlv as a matter of duty
is. another part of the governor's
theory.
So far as in known, hero thu idea
is one new to prison history nnd when
used will probably be the first in
stance of the kind in the annuls of
convict hunting.

ifornia' die to everv three women, ac

nearly fifty pianos of tho very latest-
up-tn-duto styles arc more than en
couraged at tho response they have
received within tho past week from
their announcements of a mid-sum
mer clearnneo sale, and It proves con
clusively that thu peoplo uro allvo
to their own Interest by tho number
of sales that have already been made.
Peoplo from Grants Pass, Ashland,
Rutto Falls and other outside points
having read theso auuouueouvonta
have been interested enough to visit
tho storo with the result that four
sales avo been made to out of town
parties. One sale worthy of special
mention Inn Chlckerlng & Suits annul
which now adorns tho neat homo of
ono ot (.1 rants Pass most prominent
attorneys, Mr. R. 0. Smith. This Is
tho third piano that Mr. Smith bus
purchased from this prominent Music
Mouse, which In Itself Is proof posi
tive that tho Fliers Music House are
able and wllllnjr to do bettor by an
old an new customer than any otlior
house can do.
It Is a fact that the Filers Music
House ha made It easier for thous
ands aud thousands of peoplo to own
pianos, good dependable ones, too,
than any other concern could do, and
are still doing so, and when the Fliers
Music House announce a sacrifice In
prices It menus Just what they say
aud In this mid-summer clearance
sale discriminating buyers are suv
Iuk from LTi to 40 per cent on their
purchases. Filers Music House have
sold more pianos thnn all otlior
hotiRcs on tho Pacific Coast combin
ed, In tho sumo time, rail rOad statis
tics compiled last year show that Fil
ers Music House had shipped over 72
pur cent of all pianos shipped to tlio
const.
Do uot bo mislead by any nmall
dealers who mako tho assertion that
they can furnish you any of tho regu
lar lines of pianos that aro sold by the
Filers Music House. Filers aro tho
direct representatives of over forty
factories, and aro tho oxcluslvn nip
rcHonlatlvos for those forty makers
and tho small dealer who million such
it claim Ih very likely being supplied
tho two or lhroo lllion thnt ho. car
ries by tho Filers' Music House and Is
no doubt pn.flug tribute to tho Films
Music House on every plnnb lio sells.
When Films Mmilo llouiio uniintiuco
any special sale I hero Is always u
reason for It as hi the case of this
great clearance snlo now going on
ho'ro, .Sfctiford has been mado bond
quarters for all Southern Oregon mid
Northern California, and tho allot

for onl fall trade have been mado,
