COMMANDER
BOOTH TUCKER
VISITS THE COAST
Is Interested in a Bill Before
Congress for the Coloniza
tion of Arid Land
Commander F. Booth Tuckor, head of
fao Salvation Army in tho United
States, arrived in tho city this morn
3ns, and Is at the Willamette He la
on a tour of the continent, having left
9ils headquarters In Now York City
3arcli 4th, accompanied by a party of
a dozen prominent workers of the
.Anny. Commandor Tucker Is a pleas
ant man, democratic and polite in
manners, reminding one of a polished
Southern gentleman, with a rich mel
low accent, almost musical In tone. A
short talk with blm would convince
any ono that he has a wide experience
with all classes of humanity, bb ho as
xoadlly grasps questions of political as
1hosc of a religious nature. When Tho
Journal reporter called at tho hotel
4hls morning the commander was busi
ly ongagod dictating correspondence
Ho his stenographer, who travels with
ttho party. "I carry headquarters with
ane," explained tho commander, in n
lialt apologetic way, as ho reforred to
tho many books, papers and letters
that wcro piled up on tho desks and
tables, but ho Immediately desisted
Iran lib labors and chatted pleasantly
'with his visitor concerning his trip.
""I am killing two birds with ono
ratono, said tho religious ahd philan
thropic loader, "and I am mooting
"with much encouragement. Slnco
Heaving Now York I havo visited 21
cities In tho Kast and South, and wo
Imvo had largo meetings at every
point, Whllo 1 desire to see tho work
of tho Army In tho West, yot I am
'.largely Interested nt tho present time
in tho bill which 1 havo before con
Ijross, Tho mcasttro was introduced
by Senator Hoar, nnd provides for tho
tfdrmntlon of a colonization bureau,
tinder tho direction of a commission
or of colonization, In connection with
'the Interior department. Tho bureau
will collect valuablo information for
sottlorm and furnish thorn with this
Xroo of charge. At tho present time
Intondlng settlers are compelled to
(take tho word of railroad companies,
real ostato in on or others who have
Trivnto lnterosts at stake, nnd often
vtlino aro misled, and causod to spend
scanty funds in traveling over the
country looking for a location, This
would bo unnecessary under the Bye
torn proposed by tho bill, as tho com
missioner nnd his assistants would
xathcr reliable data. Tho bill proposes
to advanco to bona fide settlors' from
3G0i) to $1000 In cash and materials
for the purpose of enabling worthy but
poor families to make homos for them
selves upon tho land. Thousands of
men with families aro In tho congest
cd, cltlos, eking out a miserable oxlst
onco, when, if they had a team and
wagon, a cow or two, nnd a little shack
to llvo In, they would bocomo well-to--do
nnd valuablo citizens. Our expe
rience In tho colonization business on
tibloa mo to sponlc authoritatively on
tho subject, nnd I know that this class
of peaplo aro only too glad to got
awny from tho poverty and dogreda
tlon of tho crowded cltlos. with Ihoir
oys aud girls. The government, un
der our bill will Issue gold bonds to
run 50 years to the amount of $50,000,
000, at tho rato of $5,000,000 a year,
and will assist families to establish
homes, wh.ich shall not exceed
40 acres of irrigated land, or 80 acres
of non-irrigated land. Tho settlors
will pay for tho places In small an
nual installments covering a period
of 16 years. Tho late Senator Hanna
was to havo Introduced our bill, but
his untimely death prevented It. The
measure Is copied after tho Now Zea
land law, which has been In operation
olght years and has resulted In much
good. Over $18,000,000 havo been
loaned to tho people In that little Isl
and with only a population of 700,000,
and tho government could not loan tho
balance of the $25,000,000, ns private
parties would furnish money on oven
hotter terms, nftor tho government
entered tho market nnd forced tho
money loaners to deal with tho people.
"I have just received n lottor from
K. W. Scrlpps, manager of the Scrlpps
News Agency, asking for detailed in
formation regarding our plan and
promising his assistance In tho work
through his nowspapor syndicate.
Othor prominent men, including Sen
ntor Penrose, of Pennsylvania, have
Interested themselves nlong these
lines and aro doing great good for
tho measure. Tho Salvation Army
has three colonies of their own In
tho United States in Ohio, Colorado
and California and tho success that
has attended our efforts In this di
rection has been unprecedented. Two
of the colonies aro on arid land and
were only 30 stations and less than
300 officers In the world; " ?
With tho commander are Col. Geo.
French, of Now York, and Col. M.
Holland, of Colorado; Lieutenant-Colonel
Thbmas Scott, LleutenanUJoIoncl
Annlo Osborne, Captain Dorothy Gra
ham, Moteo Booth-Tucker; the com
mander's daughter; Ensign E3ther

as "Turkey Point Billy," a noted prize
fighter, who has engaged In over 100
battles In the sawdust arena.

party, will give his lecture, "Love and
Sorrow," at the opera, house tonight.

in Doing Great Good for

Tho people of tho Inland Empire
havo begun to realize what has been
dono for them In the mattor of im
provement of transportation facilities
during tho past four or Ave years. At
a banquet given in Portland Saturday
night by citizens to tho retiring presi

Mohler, the statements wero mado
that during his administration of that
property which was emerging from
bankruptcy when he took hold of It,
ho has laid 462 miles of 80 and 90
pound steel rails on tho main line,
eliminated curvos substituted steel
for wooden bridges, built new tunnels
laid concrete culverts, ballasted tho
lino with gravel, equipped tho road
with modern locomotives, gonoral roll

coaches. Tho line Btands today tho
equal of any of tho trunk lines and
is a credit to tho company, Mr. Moli,

carefully observed transportation
matters In tho state for a period of
15 or 20 years say that no isuch re

Germ Infected Air.
Malaria. Is not confined exclusively to the swamps
and marshy regions of the country, hut wherever there is
bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous
vapors nd gases from sewers, and the musty nir of damp
cellars are laden with the genus of this miserable disease
which arc breathed into the lungs nnd taken up by the
' Wood and transmitted to every part of the lody. Then
yon begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspecting the
cause. No energy or appetite, dull henduches. sleepy and
tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer
tion, are some of the deplorable effects of this enfeebling
malady. As tlie disease progresses nnd the blood becomes
more deeply poisoned, boils nnd nliscesses and dark or
ycglow spots appear upon the skin. When the poison Is
i-fr tn ferment and the microbes and irenns to multiply in
the blood, Liver nnd Kidney troubles and other serious complications often
Arise. As Malurio, begins nnd develops in the blood, the treatment to be
