' Open letter No. 2 to Hon. E. W. Ful
ton, United States Senator for Oregon.
Sir: I address Jon a second time be
cause events and' subjects demanding
your attention' never stop. The grange
in our sister state of Washington has
taken up the question of the cost of
publie roads and by resolution asks
that the state and nation give aid to
public roads as they do to rivers and
harbors. '-
The Oregonian of June 10, justly, I
think, points out the difference be
tween county and state roads, and "riy
ers which bear the harvest of states
and nation to seaports where the car
riers of the world receive them, bring
ing in exchange things to the farms
which staud to eommeree, as springs to
rivers, and that in present conditions
national or state aid "to , open or im
prove roads cannot be satisfactory to
- aii." -
I am very glad the state grange of
Washington has taken the subject up
and doubly glad tho, Oregonian has giv
en its action serious treatment, though
no suggestion as to where the outside
farming class should look for financial
aid while recognising " the good roads
movement is -spreading rapidly x and,
quite naturally, the greatest change is
noticeable near tne cities.'
The paper predicts that the automo
bile will in time become a factor in the
devclopment ol the good roads idea,
but the only satisfactory system of
improving the roads will be one that
distributes the cost so that those reap-
ing the . greatest benefit will bear a
proportionate share thereof. This can
not well b carrred out with govern
ment or state control of the work.
This brings me to the question . ot
the meaning the government bed ; in
providing 5 per centum the public
lands within the bound .of Oregon
when admitted int the JJnioa,
"which shall be sold ay congress after
admiMtion of said at rite into the un
ion." This funu is earef-dly give
"the state for the purpoe of making
publie roads keu internal improvements
as the" legislature shall dirct."
, The first of five gifts, publie land',
was the sixteenth sere for the people.'
schools and this road fund in net cash
is of nearly equal value and just , a
sacredly Le'ongs to. the people of the
statu to which it was given as the
school land, as the purpose of the gift
is as plainly stated in the law. I most
nioccjeiy hope the state of Oregon will
take the subject op as that of Wash
ington has done..- .Von say to me, sen

plied agreement that the, public lands
shall be open for settlement and ac
quisition by private parties in order
that the state may become populous. It
is a serious hindrance and handicap to
Oregon to have one-fourth of her area
withdrawn from entry ; and rendered
ineapabla of being made . to contrib
ute in any -way to the advancement
and development of the state., ;
I " agree with! yon fully and believe
this condition ha been brought by
congress, most of the members of
.which were unaware of the conditions
existing between th nation and the
state, as I have found many good eiti
aens of Oregon "are. I shall employ
this open letter method, hoping it will
have some influence-in r producing" a
change in method of preserving in for
est production all lands now in forest
that arc not much more valuable .for
products of human necessity than tim
ber. - . ;. -; -.i -.- .. ,.
'There is ao crop natur produces on
the sail of the United States that has
eost so ntuch nnrequisite labor to re
move from tne land as its natural for
est and brush cover. For 230 rears- it
j has been the ehicf obstacle to devxlop
f meat and is going to be in Oregon for
j many years to come, as a large propor
tion of -the best land in Oregon bow
I left for homes is encumbered with'trees

lion or our country The agitation the
almost unconsidered adoption this ; 're
serve policy has eailsed (and if you and
I are correct as toy-the basis of it, it
has only began), though it has been the
source of great evil, has not been with
out some good. From this forward tim
ber wealth in private -ownership ' will
be better eared for, and I hope the agi
tation "will not 'chc until the present
policy gives way to one that will make
the forest lanas maintain family life
forest farmers, it you please. Men who
will manage the forest land to sustain
their families. This country's - liber
Ties are and will be in much less dan
ger, from forest farmers than from coal
barons, whicta statement leads me to
say that at no time was President
Roosevelt so completely the king of
men in my estimation as when he
stippped between the coal miners of the
anthracite district of Pennsylv&fiia and
thir oppressors. ' The brave stand h
took for fair play between man " and
man then was thn first and greatest
step toward his present position . of
peacemaker between nations. My ad
miration for that act. arose perhaps
from the fact that I was bred 'a coal
miner in England, but first felt the
added force a comprehension of the
meaning ot freedom gives to life in
Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, help
ing my father, who had given seven
years of tne bent of his life o pldcn
myself and live other of his children
on American soil, earn the'means to
reach Pittsburg, which we did in Octo
ber, 1346.
I have given these few words of per
sonal allusion to give point to the
statement that though I will submit
to this law of congress creating these
reserves while it is the law, I am so
sure tbat its execution is so ineonsist
ent with the free government which is
our boast, and the publie faith pledged
to and exacted from the people of Ore
gon by tb act of congress of Febru
ary 14, 1859. tht I will never vote for
any representative candidate who will
not publicly, declare himself as you
do, as opposed to the withdrawal of
such' public lands from private attain
ment. I cast my first tote for the first
governor of Oregon, June 3, 1845. Un
der the government provisional to the
extention of the United States govern
ment over. os. which did not occur un
til we had taken, as a result of tbat
election, the British subjects then ' in
Oregon and the property of the "Hud
son Bay Company, under the pro
teetion of the first American made,
which existed from My 3? 18 13, till
March 3, 1849. The first Cayuso war
had' been fought and won in 1817-8 by
the people without a representative of
the Uniteif States governmnt of any
kind 'or degree being west of the
Kooky mountains, until the arrival of
General Joseph Lane at Oregon City,
and. the issue, of his proclamation as
governor by appointment of President
Polk on the date mentioned.
Oregon was thus won and given over
gladly and (not without just pride) by
American homebuilding occupiers. It
was held to the Union in 1860 to I860
by the same agency tbat won it. It is
therefore a sacred duty of its native
sons to scrutinize innovations nnmcn

CASE APPEALED
JUDGE GALLOWAY SUSTAINS tS
, MUSBEa " AGAINST WBTT , OF
' MAIfDAMUS COMPLAINT.
Inclined to tha Opinion That It Was
Not tha Intention, of tha Legislature
' to Repeal the. Act nf 1901, Which
Frorides For Iasnanco of CerUflcatei
- (From Sunday's Daily.)
After hearing the arguments of the
counsel, Attorney General . Crawford,
for the state, and John A. Carson, for
tha plaintiff, Judge Galloway, of the
equity department of the eireuit court,
yesterday ' afternoon sustained; the de
fendant's demurrer to the complaint in
the 'ease -of Superintendent Calbreath,
of the insane asylum, against Secreta
ry of State Dunbar. This is the writ
of mandamus ease, brought for the pur
pose ; of compelling the secretary of
state to obey the provisions of the Kay
act, and issue warrants in payment of
the salaries of the officials and em
ployes of the insane asylum and other
state institutions located at or near
this city. Immediately upon the pass
ing of judgment -torney Carson, for
the plaintiff, filed notice of appeal, and
the case will bo taken to the supreme
court as soon as the briefs can be pre
pared. :
As has been stated previously, the
purpose of the aetion, on the part of
Superintendent Calbreath, is to deter
mine the effect of the Kay aet in re
gard to the' manner in which the offi
cials and employes of the different
state institutions named should be paid
for ! their services, upon its merits
alone. The contention' of the plaintiff
is that the act of 1901, which provides
f or, the iesuaaee of certificates to tho
employes of these institutions, has been
repealed by the Kay act, and that the
secretary of state has Bo authority to
disregard the latter, which provides for
the issuance of warrants for the full
amount of the payroll upon demand of
the -superintendent. The contention of
the : counsel for the state is ' that the
Kay act: does not- repeal the "aet of
1D01, on the ground that the latter was
drawn exprestJy to provide for emer
gencies. such as at present exist,
wherein no funds are available with
which to redeem the warrants.
V In sustaining the demurrer inter
posed by Attorney General Crawford
Judge Galloway stated that he was ot
tho opinion that, while the ate operat
ed as an express repeal ot tho act of
1901, he did not think that was the in
tention of the legislature when the
Kay aet was adopted, but, rather that
the last-named act was passed merely
as a means of facilitating and lighten
ing tho work in the office of the secre
tary of state. Ite also stated that it
waa a very important rase, and that he
should have to take much more time
in which to consider -t, but, since it
was to be carried to the supreme court
in any event, it really made no differ
ence which way he deeded. , It was eon
ceded th?tt the legislature is supposed
to have knowledge of all laws in effect
upon' air "subject" upon whieh it at
tempts to legislate, but, regarding the
intent 'of the last legislature rather
than the aet, he conld not see his way
Hear to overrule the demurrer, and he,
therefore, sustained it. Immediately
upon his decision Attorney Carson gave
notice of appeal and biter filed the nec
cry bond.
Counsel upon both sides of the con
troversy cite practically the same au-.
thorities and concede all of the facts
of the ease, and the writ will be car
ried to the supreme court as soon as
possible. Mr. Carson says that it will
require : several days-in which to pre
pare the brief in the ease, but that ho
hoped to be able to present it to the
appellate court within the next two
weeks. ; During the argument of the
eas yesterday afternoon no allusion
was made to the normal schools, state
universitv or soldiers' home, which are
inelnded'in the Kay act, but it was
confined solely to the facts set forth
in the petition as regards the insane
asylum.

Togo'i Victory AcMeved on Centen&i:f
of Great Victory Won by
' by Nelson. -
Japan's latest and greatest victory,
the greatest battle between fleets of
steel, marks the centennial of Trafal
gar, the. greatest battle between fleetr
of wood. '.- . s
Trafalgar,' in which Nelson gave np
his life, was fought oa the afternoon
of October 21, 1805. On that occasion
the British fleet of twenty seven liae-of-battle
ships fought the combined
fleets of France and Spain, consisting
of thirty-three ships of the line, com
pletely defeating the allied fleet -and
capturing eighteen ships, only four of
which, however, ever reached a British'
port. -,"t'- -'-..r -t
In numbers the alliel fleets were su
perior to the fleet under Nelson, but
they lost to the British because they
were unprepared. ' ' ; -A r
- The methods of naval warfare have
changed totally since the time of Tra
falgar. At Trafalgar ships were board
ed by men' wih rntlasa and pistol, and
for nearly two hours Nelson's ship was
within thirty feet of the French ship
Bedoutable, each of the three-deckers
pouring ' broadside after broadside at
the other. Fighting ' bow . is at long
range, and it will in the future be con
ducted at' even greater range. The
greatest damage inflicted, on - modern
ships Is that doe to fire, in spite of the
fact that they are now, simply machines
of st eeL There are comparatively few
hits made in modern naval action, but
one lucky hit will put a modern ship
out of action. I n this respect the
modern battleship is a more delicate
piece of mechanism than was the old
oaken ship, such as JSelson fought at
Trafalgar. ,
The battle of Trafalgar lasted from
noon until just before sunset, 5 o'clock,
or a little more than five hours, and at
the end of that afternoon 'a hot work
the combined French and Spanish fleets,
exeept eleven ships which had escaped
to Cadiz, were cither captured or de
stroyed. Eighteen ships had at the end
of the day struck their colors to the
British, one of them, the Achillea, was
ablaze, and at 5:42 o'clock blew up.
At the beginning of the fight the Brit
ish fleet had twenty-seven ships, against
which were placed thirty-three ship's of
the enemy, eighteen French and fifteen
Spanish. The Josses on both sides wero
extremely heavy, for the fighting was
forced and usually at very close range.
' It was at this battle that Nelson gave
his famous signal to the fleet:
,l England expects every man will do
his duty." -
It was Nelson's last message to-the
fleet before going into action. As' us
ual, before the engagement, the admiral
held a council of his fleet captains, at
which so much of a plan of battle as
could be made in advance was decid
ed upon. ,
Early in the morning he had sig
naled to the fleet: "Form order of sail
ing inytwd columns," and to "Prepare ;
for battle." , His general idea, which l
was well understood by every flag ofll- j
cer and captain in ms neet, was to
throw upon .the rear twelve ships of
the enemy -a superior number, fifteen,
under the command of Admiral Colling
wood. while Nelson himself, with the
remaining 'twelve ships of the line,
would - act as seemed best to prevent
Colllnswood; fron being disturbed. -All
this had been understood by the offi
cers in the fleet, but after Nelson had
returned on deck he asked .Blackwood
whether he did not think another sig
nal was needed. The" captain replied
that he thought every one understood
what was expected of him. Nelson,
however, said he woold ' amuse the
fleet with a signal," for the ships were
wearing and were not yet close enough
to fight. -
Suppose, " he suggested, after re
fleeting a moment, "suppose we signal
'Nelson confides that every man will
do his dntyT' " ;
An officer standing by suggested;
"Would it not read better 'Knglend,
confides!' " ,
The " little admiral agreed, thinking
the change an improvement. The sig
nal officer then-explained that t!ie word
"confides "-would have to be spellwl,!
anil suggested instead tne wori ex-(,
pects, " as that was in the code.
the world-famous signal .was hoisted to
the masthead,'and, as it wi translated
on the nearer ships, the message was
received with cheers.5' It happened, J
however, that there were British ships J
in the fleet that day that knew noth- j
ing of it until the return to England.!
The Untish led the attack, tne fleet
advancing in two columns perpendic
ular to the enemy's line, Collingswood
assailing the 'rear, as proposed, and
Nelson piercing the hostile order a lit
tle forward -of the center, so tbat the
brunt of the fight fell upon the twenty
three rear shins of the allies, the ten
j wh:eh formed the van being for a long
) time untoucned, and themselves re
maining inactive. " .....
Although the action began about
noon, "it . was - two hours later before
the rer ships in Nclau's fleet came
fairly under fire, owing to the light
character of th breeze blowing. Once
the opposing fleet were well under fire,
! the action became little more" than a
each ship was ' fonnght at its best,
and with little knowledge on the part
of the captain of what the others were!
doing. Under these eirenmstances it is
almost impossible to. find any aecoUat
of the battle which describes it as a
whole.; Colli ngwood led his column in
the Boyal Sovereign, which, having
been newly sheathed with copper, was
more speedly ; than; Nelson's fast bat
tleship Victory
The Swinish and French ships ahead
of the Victory "closed like a forest,"
and Captain Ilardy, who was directing
the steering of Nelson's ship, told the
admiral that he could not pass through
the line without running into one of the
three ships. " ' ' , '
?"I cannot help at, replied Nelson..
"Go oa board which yon please; take
your choice." ' ; i ; - j
By 1 o 'clock the "bows of the Victory j
reached the wake of the Boeantaur, thai
Victory passing within thirty feet of 4
tha French ship. . The guns from each)
ship belched oat broadsides of death-j
dealing fixe, put tne snot or the victory
range I from end to end of the Bu
cantanr. . Twenty guns were dismount
ed, and the loas by the single broadside
was estimated by the French at 400
The Victory tften turned her at
tention to the Redoubtable, whosa guns
as well as thos of the Neptune ia tKe
French colt-ran, or there were three
Neptnnes present.-had been busy npoa
the British flagship. Passing to the

The state tax commission, comptsed
of IVed Mnlkey of ForUand, E. B.
Seabrook of Marshfieid, "and W. J.
Lachner of Balrer City, held its first
meeting here yesterday afternoon and
effected organization by the election of
Mr. Mulkey as chairman, and C. M.
Aeheson, an employs of the Title,
Guarantee and Trust Company of Tort
laad, secretary.
After election, which was all pre
arranged before tho commission left
Portland yesterday ' morning, and it
oaly took a few minutes to decide aft
er, reaching this city. The balance of
the meeting, which was held in a com
mittee room off "the senafff" 'chamber,
waa. passed in' discussing plans for fu
ture work. It was thought the com
mission would be prepared to settle
down to active wodt about July L The
secretary was instructed to investigate
and adopt a systematic plan of action
as early as possible. - -,
The' secretaryship,- which is the most
important and lucrative off iee""bn the
board, which t means a salary "of about
(200 per month, was sought for by sev
eral applicants, among whom wero
Frank , Davey of this city and Frank
Middreton of Portland. The result was
quite-a surprise to all concerned, as it
was thought the - commission would
hold its meetings and perform its work
at the capitol, but the erection of Mr.
Aeheson indicates, as was ' stated by
the members rif the board, that the
greater part if not all of its work will
V done in Portland. : This was In ac
cordance with the provision of the
aet, which reads that the work shall
be done in the Capital City, but the
commission may hold meetings at other
parts of the state a such times as it
saw fit.
The aet carries an appropriation of
$7000, $3000 of whieh goes as compensation-
for the ' three members of the
board, and the balance is applicable to
the payment of the salary ml the secre
tary and other expenses. The board is
required to comptete its labors and
submit its report in the form of a bill
on or before July 1, 1906.
