Flfty-frve Conversion. The series of religious meetings that have been going on at the Baptist church the past three weeks have re sulted in a great deal of good. There has been in the neighborhood of fifty conversions, which speaks well for the people of Lakeview and the good cbrist lans that have been at the back of the good work. Rev liailey, who came here from r os iii io conduct meetings ror a month, is entitled to a great deal of credit and the people of Lakeview who are interested in the moral up building of the community should ap preciate his work, which tbey do. Rev. Howard, pastor of the Iiaptist Church here, and Rev. Risley. who assisted in the meetings, are also en titled to credit for the hard work they have done, and the assistance of many others, members of the church, with out w hich such results could not have been obtained, is also appreciated. there were seventeen baptised last Sunday at the hot springs. Those who wi.re baptised were: Wm. Turner, Richard Kingsley, Hary Heryford, Franklin Cloud, Ebon Tatro, Bloomer McCrary, Geo. W. Wise, Mrs. O. W. Wise, Mrs. W. C. Laird, Mrs. J. C.

According to a 'VVashington dispatch Senator Fulton has been informed by the Forest Service that next season charge will be made for grazing stock wltnln all forest reserves. It 'Is pro posed to charge sheep in the Cascade reserve 8 cents a head and cattle 30 cents during tne summer montns, or 45 cents for the full year. In the Wenaha reserve, the sheep tax will be 6 cents a head and cattle at the same rates as in the Cascades. Mr. Fulton is decidedly opposed to the imposition of the tax, maintain ing that ranges should be free to all, and later he will submit to the depart ment a formal protest against this charge. He believes there is no au thority for imposing tnis tax, and will raise this issue at the proper time. There are other Western sen ators holding this view, and it is quite likely that this will become a live issue during the present session of Congress. t SENATE COMMITTEE WILL III VESTIGATE THE CANAL DIGGERS, The Oregonian Airs Who Are to The report cornea from Washington that the Senate committee on inter-ocean ic canals is a boot to investigate everything and evreybody connected with the Panama enterprise. Even president Rooiievelt it is hinted, will not be exempt fiomt his searching inquisition. All his missdeeds, as well as those of Mr. Taft, Mr. f honts. Engineer Stevens, and tber set, are to be laid bare. This interoceanic canal committee is admirably constituted to investi gate such men as Roosevelt and Taft. The character of its members guar antee in advance tthe absolute wisdom and impartiality of its findings. Consider the noble names npon that imperishable roll. Thomas C. Piatt, of New Vork, is one of them., who for so long years has faithfully drawn a Sen ator's salary while all his time and energy have gone into New York politics and to United States Express Company. Piatt is reported, as deeply scan dalized to think that Sbonts should draw a salary as a railroad president while he serves the Government on the Isthmus. Why this is any worse than Piatt 's own little steal has not been explained, but the reason is sure to come out under the scrutinizng gaze of New York's senior Senator. JobnF. Dryden, of New Jersey, the man who founded industrial insurance in America, i another member. He is also well fitted by long and intimate experience to investigate graft." Set a thief to catch a thief " is a motto which applies to the Panama Canal as well as to smaller matters. A man who knows how to make workingmen pay twice or thrice as much for life insur ance as it costs the rich understands perfectly how to detect Mr. Taft in his nefarious misdeeds. Mr. Dryden 's experience in promoting insurance npon the lives of new-born babies also qualifies him to look tenderly after the wel fare of the negro canal-diggers. Their welfare is one of the chief cares of this committee. Mr. Poultney Bigelow says the negroes on the Isthmus are abused and slandered by tha white officers. It seems, therefore, most providential that another of the committeemen is Arthur P. Gorman. His friendship for the black race is well known. He has just failed in an effort to disfranchise all the negroes In Maryland. Naturally, therefore, their sufferings in Panama touch his feel ings deeply. Mr. Gorman also has had long and intimate personal knowledge of graft. If it exists, or if there is any chance for it to exist, he will find it out;- Truly a lovely investigation committee, and its motives are quite as lovely as its personnel. The principal one is by hook or crook, by fact or falsehood by fair or foul endeavor, to bring to light something to make Mr. Taft una vailable as a Presidential caudidtae. The Senate cares nothing more about the canal than it does about other public interests. It cares not bow much public money is wasted or stolen, though it greatly prefers to say who shall do the stealing. But it does care who shall be the next president, and Taft is entirely too much like President Roosevelt to be agreeable to the conscript fathers. Moreover, divers of that charmed circle cherish Presidential ambi tions themselves. Hence a long pull, a strong pull and a poll altogether to besmirch and ruin Taft. But there are other motives. Corporation interests are bitterly hostile to the canal, and those interests, dominate the Senate. They cannot kill the canal enterprise outright, but they can bedevil the President, they can worry his employes till one after another resigns in disgust, they can send persona like Poultney Bigelow to disseminte false reports, and they can hamper and delay the work by "investigations" like the one now proposed. Well-informed persons have no fear of the outcome of this investigation," so far as Taft and Roosevelt is concerned. Mr. Sbonts has probably, through impatients of red tape, made a mistake or two, but, such as tbey were, they have been rectified. If the committee brings to light anything besides mali cious tittle-tattle and deliberate falsehood, tbey will surprise the public ex tremely and themselves most of alL They know very well that what is wrong on the Isthmus is the result of pernicious Senatorial meddling, and that the administration is exerting every power it possesses to push the work and care for the workers. Oregonian. Fulton Stirs Them Up. Rate Legislation held the attention of the Senate on January ICth. The debate was provoked by Mr. Ful ton, of Oregon, who made his first ap pearance, so to speak, before the Sen ate, and who, by the way, created an excellent impression. He offered an amendment to the Dolliver bill, giv ing the courts power to modify ord ers of the Interstate Commerce Com- misson ' when such orders are confis catory. Mr. Fulton proceeded to ex plain his proposition, and almost in a twinkling Messrs. Foraker, Bailey, Spooner and Nelson were at it ham mer and tongs. It seemed at one time that the whole question was to be op ened up and seriously debated. Mr. Fulton's speech was interrupted so fre quently and at such considerable length that he was compelled to occu py the floor for more than two hours. He brought on one of the finest skirmish fights of which the Senate has yet been the scene on the question of railroad reform. Mr. Fulton said that his provision is intended to prevent the enforce ment of unjust decrees, and urged that as the Dolliver bill stands in case such an order should be Issued, it would be impossible for the commis sion to change it until after great de lay, with consequent great expense.

Are Now Americans. That Lake county is attracting peo ple from other counties is evidenced by the number of persons who have taken out naturalization papers dur ing the past year. There have been thirteen such papers recorded in the clerk's office up to the first of the new year. While this number does not represent the new population by sev real, it is proof of the growth of the county's population. Three of these are final papers and the others are the first papers. Following are those who made application for naturaliza tion papers : Michael Barry, first, John Sheeban, first, August Zattlin, first, Edward II. Quigby, first, Pat Murphy, first, Michael Jones, first, Pat O'Connor, first, John C. Flynn, first, Mat. Jones, first, Leone Valen tine, first, L. O. Enquist, finals Wm. Stimpflg, final, Dick Quinlin., final Joke on Rev. Bailey. That President Roosevelt's popular ity is supreme throughout the coun try, is evidenced by the manner in which eveu the proverbial small boy stands up for the noble high chief, and will not permit of plagarlsm. Last Sunday evening during the ser mon at the Baptist church, Rev. Bail ey bad occasion to credit Davie Crock et with having said, "know you are right, and then go ahead." After the services were over a group of "young Americans' were dlsouss- ing and one little fellow was heard to say: "Well, I don't care, uavie Crocket might have said it, but Mr . Roosevelt said it first." The Eastern Star Lodge gave a ban quet after lodge lost evening. '
