ERESTS SEEK SPEAKERSHIP N SELLING To the Kililnr: 1 mn u cnmliilntc for speaker of lite house of representative! of tho Ore gon lefpslnlive nwinblv. Tho Ore (ronian newspnjwr litis n ennilidato in tho person of Hen Selling of Port land. Through the infhirnco nud de mand of the editor of the OreRonian, Mr. Felling procured the nomination lv n hare majority of the Multnomah delegation. 1 had .apposed that the speaker ship was of statewide concern, hut here it seems to he considered as a prerogative of Portland, or worse, of a small hand of Portland interests. That this is true is evidenced by tho . fact that 1 have not been able to have published in the Portland papers my side of the controversy. They have refused to print my articles in my own hchnlf, the substance of which I inclose you for your perusal. Tlic Portland Hog It appears, therefore, that Port land, or more accurately, the few who assume to speak for her, are not sut fcficd to have procured at the lust session the presiding officers of both houses nud the ehainunnsbips of the ways and mentis committee of both houses the commit Ices which control the expenditures of the money of the people of the whole state not satis fied to have three-fifths of the rep resentation in congress of the stnte of Oregon, hut are utill determined to dominate the legislature through it officers and principal committees. The fruit of this control is seen in the record of expenditures of the last legislature the mot extravagant in the history of tho state. I think the rest of the state is en tilled to participate in its own lcgis lattiro on equal terms with the riic-tro-xilis. Thu force behind Mr. Sell in? do not intend tb.pcrmit this if they can help it, or permit any participa tion except in subordination to their dictation. Appcnls to Country I am writiag this to the press out side of Portland, in the belief that there can elill be found outside of Portluud a Tret' and fair press the closest to the plain people who, whether on one sido or the other of any statewide public question, are willing to give cvrside a fuir hear ing. I ask this with the more nssur auce, since the 'Oregonian not only has closed its columns to me, hut makes ,the false claim that Mr. Sell ing has already more than enough votes to elect him. it is not true that he has a majority of the house pledg ed to him, nor havo I such majority. There are members unpledged who will doubtless consider the situation nnd utc as their conscience dictates. 1 am trying to have them vote tin deintiuidingly, uninfluenced 1jv false, rcpicscututioiitf. right Not Ovrr 1 am not ankintr your support, al though 1 would; he grateful for it, hut onl that yo(u shall inform your mem bers and your subscribers, through yoar columns, of my elaims, by print ing Ibis letter or tho purport of it. And ou eau 1)0 assured that with a taitliful and loyal suppoit behind me. Ibis fight will not be over until it is over in tho house. This is my fifth hiUTO-ix- tenn in the limine, and I submit that tho ex perienced so gained is -oiiio evidence of my (ntiililieations for tho office. Ytuiih sinccrul- ALM5K KATOX. Poitland, December 8. ATTACKINCr THE SPORTSMEN nrKE PORTLAND OREClONlAtf. its Usual, takes ex- JL .-option to tle resolutions parsed by tile Stnte lA'ague of Sportsmen's clubs that the funds derived front the sale of fish and game licenses be expended solely for fish and same protect ion and proposition, favoring the placing of the money in the general fund, to be used for general state expense, presumably also placing the game law enforce ment in the hands of deputy sheriffs, which, of course, Jimkes game protection a faive. If the game fund was raised by general taxation no objection could be made to this procedure, but as the money js raised by a special tr.x imposed upon anglers and sportsmen for a specific purpose, it should be used for that purpose, and that purpose only. AVhen the aine and fish commission spend the entire amount received iroin license Sale the Orcgoiuan and other critics crv, "rocklesstcxtravagauce." When there is a sur plus in the fund they point to it as proof of their claim that more money is collected than needed and that it should go to the general ftlnd. All the money secured from license sale should be spent for protection and propogation. if there is more than needed the license should be reduced, but there is not as yet any surplus. Only a beginning has been made in prop ogation work. For instance, the "Rogue river, which furn ishes the finest angling in the country, has no trout hatch ery and no state hatchery of any kind, and trout propoga tion is by temporary arrangement with the United States bureau of fisheries station, which is maintained primarily for commercial fish and whose appropriation does not cover trout work. In tact, eastern and cent nil Oregon as well as southern Oregon tire shy on hatcheries. It is the hope of every sportsman to make Oregon a sportsman's mecca, like Maine, and by developing this resource, secure the annual expenditure of millions by lourists. This can only be done by effective game and fish protection.and propogation, a beginning for. which has only been made. To continue the good work already started is the hope of every .sportsman, and any effort to introduce politics in the commission or to cripple the work under wav bv diver sion of funds or onrtailment uf power will be vigorously opposed by the hunters and anglers ot Oregon. EDISON PLANT SUFFERS $7,000,000 LOSS BY FLAMES NEW YEAR'S ISSUE BOURNES 1 AT WAhHINtlTOK, Dec. 10. -A u-o-liltioil was offered in lm senate to day lo CAleud the life of I he postal I'oHimiswioii, of which ionuer Heiiatnr JoiinlllHji JJounle I tilnlijnliyi; iilitH Apiili ill t fljl Im1 tixjMMi lo be paid J rom the MiipN!lrd hahinee of Urn ptrti'lil tiJVJ'tUljyii IN" accordance with its animal custom, the Mail Tribune will publish on January first its illustrated annual, de picting the progress and development of the valley during the past year. A large patronage is expected, as this year, more than any other, it is necessary to tell who, what and where we arc and what we are doing for the world's progress. The coming year is the year of the world's fair, and unless all signs fail, at least f)0,000 tourists will traverse the valley this summer in autos, besides those that come by rail, and to attract this vast crowd of visitors it is necessary to ettcctively present our scenic attractions as well as the more substantial features. Despite the calamity howlers, the year has been one oi. marked, progress m tnc valley, wiucli is in hotter con dition than almost jinv portion of the northwest. Jackson county has led Oregon in road construction. Diversified farming and stock raising have advanced by leaps and bounds, and no longer is fruit raising the sole industry. The development of natural resources litis been under taken by a cement plant, by the promotion of a lumber manufacturing plant and the hrst systematic effort to secure irrigation. We who live here believe the Rogue River valley the finest place on earth, and the New Year's edition will tell the world why we think so. So the co-operation of the pub lic is requested to make the New Year's issije the most creditable. SEATTLE OFFICE ORNRHW iT N The Northwestern fruit exchange will open an office at Seuttle.
