THE TARIFF BILL.

Washington, March l8.-As rule, in
the tariff measure prepared by the republi-
can members of the house committee on
ways and means, the duties are increased,
though many are lowered, and slight addi-
tions made to the free list. There is scarce
iy any one of the industries Of the Pacific
coast which is not the recipient of increased
duty. Wool, fruits and nuts all come in for
increase.
On first-class wool the duty will be eleven
cents per pound, unwashed; twenty-five
cents per pound, washed; and thirty.three
cents ON secured wool. This shows triAing
increase, about one cent pound unwashed,
and a proportionate increase on the other
grades.
The second class is extended so as to in.
clude camel's hair, now ON the free list. On
this the duty named is twelve cents per
pound.
The third class schedule will be woods
valued at twelve cents or less per pound,
three and half cents; valued over twelve
cents per pound, the duty is eight cents.
This is the unwashed rate. On washed
wool of this class the duty will be seven
cents per pound. On secured wool the duty
viii be ten and a half cents. Manufactured
WOODEN goods show an increase also.
The lumber schedule is one of the few
which shows some reduction. Hewed tim
ber is reduced from twenty to temper cent,
squared timber from one cent to half a cent

A most cowardly attempt at murder oc-
CURED last Sunday night at Ellensburgh.
when an unknown Frenchman fatally
stabbed young man named Frank Fisher,
of Albany, N. Y. Fisher wandered into
the st. Paul saloon on one of the most
prominent thoroughfares in the citv. He
knew the barkeeper, j S. Griggs, who at
one time lived in Baker City, and was con-
versing with him when the door was hur-
riedly opeIed and a young fellow, slightly
intoxicated, rolled in. He leaned over the
bar and asked for a drink, but GrIggs
thought be had enough, and refused to give
it to him. The young fellow took offense
at this and insisted, when Grggs threatened
to put him out of the room. The man then
became abusive and invited the barkeeper
outside, but the latter only laughed and re-
sumed his conversation with Fisher who
had been an amused spectator. The Ian
guage and actions OF the stranger, who
uncertain pronunciation gave evidence of
his being Frenchman, became so abusive
that the barkeeper was compelled to put
him cut. He returned to the door, however,
and invited the latter to come out at the
same time abusing Fisher. The latter finally
said he would 90 out and started for the
door. The Frenchman backed out first and
took position in front of the building. As
Fisher stepped out OF the door, the French
man drew a long knife, and springlng upon
him, plunged it into his victims left breast
within two inches of the heart. The knife
penetrated the flesh for distance of three
inches. 1t was stiletto with a very fine
point. Fisher fell to the ground and the
Frenchman tried to escape but was caught
and lodged in Jail. 1t is thought that
Fisher will die. He is 26 years of age and
of good family The Frenchman whose his
tory is unknown is about the same age

An Aged Man Passes Away.


William B. Nation. a former resident Of
this city, died at 10 o'clock on the morning
of Saturday last at the residence of his SON.
In-law, S. f. Blythe, at Hood Riyer, aged
% years. He will be remembered by many
throughout the state as the old gentleman
who used to have a. little stand at the Me-
chanics' fair, where he sold chessmen and
other articles which he had manufactured,
he being an ivory turner by trade. For
the past two years the old mans health has
been failing, and, of late, his mind has been
weakening; but he kept up and around till
Christmas eve, then he went TO bed and
never got up again. MIR. Nation was born
in the county of Kent, England, in 1898.
He was married in 1922 and came to this
country in 1880. After living some years
at Staten Island he became sick and imag
inIng he had the consumption went home to
die. He, however, recovered his health,
and came back to this country. He came
to Oregon in 1871, and his wife died here
in 1875 and was buried at Lone Fir ceme-
terry. Mr.. Nation was the father of twelve
children, the only one of which now on this
coast is Mrs. Blythe. One of his sons is in
England. son and daughter in New
York, one son in New Jersey, one in Da-
kota. and John Nation, formerly well
known machinIst of this city, is now sup.
posed to be in South America. The re-
mains were brought down from Hood River
and laid to rest beside those of
his wife in Lone Fir cemetery.

Death by suicide.


Last Friday morning Mrs. J. G. Meal
lister, of Prairie creek, committed suicide by
taking poison. About Q o'clock in the
morning her family noticed that she ap-
peared i'll, and inquired the cause. She re-
piled, Il have taken something ought not
have taken," and as she grew worse ad-
mitted that it was about half thimble full
OF strychnine. Her parents at once admin
istered what remedies they had at hand and
sent for DIR. Gaily; but it was too late. and
the unhappy young woman died soon after
the doctor arrived.
Last year Ida Coverdale was married to
]. C. McAlister, and only four months ago
McAlister suddenly left his home under
circumstances not fattering to mis- charac.
ter. 1t is to the unfortunate actions of her
husband that Mrs. McAllster's death may
be attributed. The affair cast gloom over
this entire community, where she was well
known and universally esteemed. The re-
mains OF the deceased were buried Saturday
in the Prairie creek cemetery.

As thefe lands are among the frft which

greatest cafe and convenience OF the fet-
tiers in transporting the produce OF their
land to market. To which may be added,
that as patents have now actually patted

no fight money is to be paid for thefe |

a hundred, demandable fome years hence
only, it is highly prefumable that they will
always be held upon more de6rable foot
ing than where both thefe are laid on with |
a very heavy hand. And it may not be
amifs further to obferve, that if the fcheme
for establishing new government on the
Ohio, in the manner talked OF, fhould ever
be affected, thefe mutt be among the most
lands in it, not only on account OF

Lights.
As the work of our engine has been so
verv imperfect, and as we desire to get such
machinery as will enable US to furnish in the
near future entirely satisfactory and re-
liable lights, we have concluded to shut the
incandescent lights down for the present
after tonight. We have adopted this
course with regret. but prefer not
to attempt to give lights unless we can
furnish such as are entirely satisfactory;
and we trust that consumers will be willing
to resort to the old system for few weeks
In order to get, at the end of that time,
what they desire and have right to ex-
pext from us. We hope to effect the pro.
posed improvement within very few weeks,
