NOT ENOUGH CARS.
Portland Lumbsrmen Unable to Fiji
Their Orders,

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 29.-The mer-
chants and lumbermen have been com
planning for a long time of inability to
get freight cars, and the lumber orders
given two months ago have not been
filled on that account. The state board
OF commerce to-day passed resolutions

THE MORMON CHURCH.
Favorable Report OF the Senate Bii
Concerning Property Ownership.

WAsHiSGroS, Sept. 26.-Represent-
ative Caswell to-day reported favorably
from the committee on Judiciary the
senate bill to amend the laws with refer
ence to bigamy and restricting tho own
ership OF churches In real estate above
fixed value. The bill has particular
reference to the church of the Latter
Day Saints, whose charter was forfeited
In 1887. The proceeds of the sale of the
real estate are to be turned over to the
school funds, but no provision is made
for the disposition of the personal prop
erty OF the corporation, which amounts
to nearly 100000, and is awaiting the
action of the supreme court. The com
mittee.deems IL wise to let this money
take the same course as that from the
sale of real estate, and place it in the
school fund.

The Indian Commissions.

1t is expected that the president will,
tomorrow or next day, make the ap.
pointnents to the various Indian com
missions provided for under the act
passed by the present congress. Ii is
more than likely that no person will be
appointed from the states where the
Indians located are TO be negotiated
with, although the delegations from all
these states have made recommenda-
tions. The president has indicated to
these members that he does not think it
good policy TO select men who
may even have an indirect interest
in the result. The commissions
to be appointed are: One for Puyallup,
wash, and Warm Springs, Or, one for
.olVllle, WASH, and one for the Crow
reservation. Montana, and one to decide
what shall be done with the Northern
Cheyennes i'll Montana, and q commits
sion is also to be appointed to make ar
rnngements for the removal of tho
turtle Mountain Chippewas in North

that some Minnesota men will be So

the house to-day in adopting the con-
ierrees' report on the land grant forfeiture
bill settles question which mas long
been in dispute, and which many con-
crosses have tried to adjust The bill is
particularly important to Oregon and
Washington, as 1t forfeits and opens to
settlement three million acres OF land on
the west end of the Northern Pacific
railroad. Both the Oregon and Wash.
ington delegations have worked very
earnestly for the passage of this bill, and
to-day they feel quite good over the re-
suit. The opponents of the bill have
claimed that the forfeiting of the lands
where roads have not been and
arc not now completed means that
the government will not forfeit
lands along the completed roads. 1t
mas been the claim of the extremists
that the Northern Pacific lands should
bc forfeited as tar back as Bismarck,
Notwithstanding the fact that every
court that has yet made q decision has
held that unless road hns been un-
completed, after tho time named In the
granting act that the company still
holds title to the lands. There was

people that the present act would con.
firm the title of the Northern Pacific to
mineral lands, but all tho Montana dele.

FROM far and near come words of
commentator for the enterprise and
public spirit shown by the citizens of
this town in the recent ditlicu over
the completion OF the exposition build
ing. The following, headed Spokane
Way" is from the Chicago Times of the
24th inst, and shows what is thought of
the matter in that city: "There is spunk
in Spokane. Its mettIe is of such sort
that when the millennium of the dis
covery of America will be celebrated it
Is quite likely to be selected AS the
worlds fair city. 1t has now u little ex
position of Its own, which was in danger
because at the last hour of preparation
its managers were confronted by a vexa-
tious strike on the thinnest of pretexts.
Two hundred union carpenters were
making finish of the roof. Material
fell short, and in the hurry of the mo-
ment 1t became necessary to purchase 1t
from a boycotted mill. Every hammer
was suspended. Complete failure stared
Spokane in the face. Did the citizens of
that enterprising town in the new state
OF Washington give way to despair2
Not they. Bankers and board-of-
fhucIs, euo ihuyoE anu tio COuHVii
preachers and school masters, lawyers
and doctors mounted the roof and went
instantly to work. In these days of
mill product no great skill is necessary
to be a commonplace carpenter, and
these amateurs made up In zeal what
they lacked in Judgment And SO the
work of preparation for Spokane's great
exposition goes cheerily on. That city
has earned the right to be known as the
Chicago of the Pacific states.'
