Tnge Three
Will Fire
Big Blast
at Monroe
SPECIAL TttAIX TO UC ST FROM
ALBANY TODAY WAS THE Alt
KANOEMKNT LAST NIGHT. AL.
BANY HERALD TELLS OF IT.
"Wednesday afternoon baa been defi
nitely fixed as the time for exploding
the "big shot" of 20 tons of powder at
Monroe. The miners who were sent
Into the cut by Flagg & Standlfer,
railroad contractors In charge of the
work, will be out of the way at 2
o'clock. A. Wllholm will touch off
the big noise by pressing the electric
button. The excursion train to carry
Blghtseelng parties to the scene will
leave Albany at 8:30 Wednesday
morning.
Thnt the affair will move off with
precision this time Is assured by rea
son of tho work being In charge of
practical miners from Eastern Oregon
yo were imported last week when
the contractors found that their un
skilled laborers were unable to drill
the 120 holes through the rock In the
"big cut. It had boen Intended to ex
plode the 00,000 pounds of powder on
Saturday last when ninny of the stu
dents of the state schools'ln the south
ern part of the valley could nttend.
Tho workers at the cut wore delayed
because of tho ground "raveling" and
It was found necessary to secure men
who know how to bundle' drills under
those conditions.
The ground wns found to be strntl
flod. There would be a layer of bard
rock encountered, then one of Bofter
stono and then another of decomposed
material resembling gravel. The lat
ter would drop Into the holes on top
of the drills and soon pack so tightly
that the unskilled men could not han
dle the tools. When the miners were
brought In they brought drillers
spoons with them. These were used
to clean the holes and by flooding
the openings with water It was found
I . .
that the drills would operate quite
easily. When It is considered that
the holes are from 13 to 33 feet deep
It Ib apparent that the work should
have boen in the hamla of skilled men
from the beginning.
It Is believed that the explosion of
such an Immense charge of powder
will bo worth witnessing, and large
delegations of citizens will be pres
ent from Eugene, Albany and Corval
lis. The special train which Is to be run
will afford Its passengers an oppor
tunity to view a portion of the upper
valley with which many have no ac
quaintance at all, and which will booh
be supplied with lnterurban electric
trains by the Portland, Eugene and
Eastern system, which Is at work on
Its 340 miles of electric trackage In
the Willamette valley.
A. Wllholm, who has been asked to
fire the big shot, Is a pioneer mer
chant of 40 years residence at Mon
roe. He was one of the first to rec
ognize the value of that section of the
state of Oregon, and he stuck with It.
Today his store Is a "sight'' In Itself,
It covers nearly one block of ground
and carries everything that the farmer
or the housewife may call for. With
years Mr. Wllhelm has grown wealthy
and It Is understood that he Is now
planning to retire from business.
BEGINS CAMPAIGN
FOR RAISING FINDS
I At a meeting of the bonrd of direc
tors of the Y. M. C. A., held yesterday,
J plans were devised for rnlBlng the
amount of money necessary for the
financial end of tho Institution for the
'coming year, which will require the
expenditure of about $3500. The work
cf raising tho amount wns started
with the result tha. $!)00 hns already
I been subscribed, mm the outlook for
I raising the entlro amount Is very good.
The board adjourned to meet ngnln
nt the association rooms tomorrow
noon, at which time It Is expected that
a large number of business and pro
fessional men will attend, and furth
er plans will be discussed as to the
best methlds of putting the Institution
on a sound financial basis. Six con
tributions of $100 each have already
been received, and others equally as
large or larger are expected for the
meeting tomorrow.
The Governor
May Take a Hand
in the Affair
For several weeks Governor West
has been quietly carrying on an Inves
tigation of the assault of R. Vance
Hutching, the Klamath Falls news
paper reporter, who was attacked In
the street by Policeman Hull, while
I Mayor Nichols, Chief of Police Smith,
Patrolman Greenwood and Street Com
missioner Ralph Vaughn looked on,
without Interfering, according" to
stories published in the Klamath
Falls Northwestern. If the evidence
.obtained warrants It Is believed the
' governor will go as far as he Is able,
through his office, to have the Klam-
ath Falls officials punished.
) According to stories from Klamath
Falls, Hutchlns, the reporter, had writ
, ten an account In his paper of an In
terview with Policeman Hall, In which
I the latter was quoted as saying that
I Chief Smith had failed to raid a gam
ibllng den after Hall had obtained evl
Idence against the place, On the basis
of the story an ednrlal also appeared
in the Northwestern attacking the
chief.
The story goes that the city 'officials
lay In wait for the reporter after the
story had appeared, and that Hutch
Ins received a severe beating at the
hands cf Hall, who denied having
spoken as quoted. Upon the reporter's
appealing to the mayor for protection,
the Klamnth Falls executive Is said
to have remarked, "It is good enough
for you."

CONDITIONS IN COLORADO
TODAY AFTER NINETEEN
YEARS OF WOMEN VOTING
It was In tho year ISM that woman
suffrage was granted In Colorado. For
19 years the suffragists have used this
state as a sample of good government,
brought about by the woiunns' vote.
The antl-suffraglsts ask the men of
Oregon to read the words of a Colora
do woman ono who has been and Is
now politically prominent. She tolls
the conditions of polities In her state
today.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cass Goddard, of
Colorado, a former ardent Buffraglst,
has held the following offices, nnmely:
Delegate to city and state conventions,
deputy sheriff, watcher at tho polls
and member of the Republican Btate
committee from El Paso county. She
has been represented on various
boards of the city and state organ
izations. For example, vice-president
for Colorado of the mother's con
gress, second vice-president of tho Y.
W. C. A. of Colorado Springs, first
vice-president of the boys' club, trus
tee of the city federation of women's
clubs, president of the Humane socie
ty only woman member of the Autl-
Tuborculosls Committee of Colorado
Springs nnd president of (bo Colonial
Panics of Colorado. We wish to quote
from a letter written by Mrs. Goddard
to a member of the board of nnti-suf-fingo
nsslclntlon of Portland. She says
In part;
"I am In a peculiar position, for,
while I disapprove most empli.itlcnlly
of equal suffrage, and while I have yet
to see ono good result from It, while
the women of Colorado have the re
sponsibility, I must do my pnrt to
ward trying to make matters better.
But I frankly say I do not see bow this
can bo accomplished. It certainly has
not yielded any such results up to this
date. Wre have no cleaner politics,
no purer politicians, no less graft, no
better laws for women nnd children
than Massachusetts hns, In spite of the
often-repeated assertlins of the suffra
gists, not one of the laws wo have Is
the result If the votes of women. As
far as this goes the Influence of wo
men outside the suffrage is better than
with the exercise of It. I have found
the professional suffragist or politician
hard, aggressive, loud In voice nnd
manner, and ready to antagonize any
one to carry her point. It Is not with
her an "appeal to reason," but an np
peal to sentiment, to pnsBlon and to
fnncled wrong done to women. There
Is very little now to say on the sub
ject excepting that my observation has
only Intensified my feeling on the sub
ject. Tho better class of women do
not want to vote. It Is bard for me to
Induce them to come to the polls, when
any stirring question comes up, nnd
en ordinary matters they neither feel
nor even pretend feel any Interest.''
Judging from the conditions ns thoy
now stand In Colorado, do wo honest
ly feel thnt tho women's vote will bet
ter our state of Oregon?
Oregon State Association opposed
to tho extension of suffrage to wo
men. MRS. FRANCIS JAMES BAILEY,
