PETITIONS are being circulated in
the Palouse country asking our rep
resentatives and senators to work
for the passage of a maximum
freight rate bill reducing the rate on
grain to s.. SO, it now being $4.25.
These petitions ought not to be
necessary, although to strengthen
the case the name of every voter to
whom they are presented should be
attached. 1t shouldn't require pc
tition to tell the legislature that
Whitman county and the entire
grain producing region is unit in
its need and its demand for relieving
legislation along this line. Exist
ing conditions speak more eloquent
ly than words. The legislature of
1897 reduced the maximum freight
rate on grain fifty cents per ton,
Notwithstanding the fact that many
OF the roads at that time were in a
seriously embarrassed condition.
And while the reduction was of nat
ural relief to our people, it was not
d source of loss to the railroads, for
their profits the past year have been
double what they were the year be-
fore the reduction was made, and
they are now prospecting and pay
ing large dividends. If a further
reduction of the exorbitant freight
rate will add some measure of pros
perity to the producer of wheat, and
cause the capital and labor invested
for its production to return larger
increase, the railroads will find their
reward in increased tonnage, with
consequent increase of profits. So
long as it is impossible to make a
reasonable profit, or any profit at
all, by growing wheat, the rail-
roads can not expect much growth
of tonnage, and even ifthe transpor-
tation company should not pay quite
so handsome dividend, still pay
ing one adequate to its investment,
and the farmer should be enabled to
pay a little larger dividend, so
bringing things nearer an equality,
wouldn't it be better for all? The
necessity for reduction of the rate
on grain is apparent, and the legis-
lature should reduce it without wait
ing for railroad commission to
take action. A commission, should
one be provided for, will have mani
fold duties, and while it would un-
doubtedly reduce the rates, the leg
islature should provide for imme-
diate relief through the enactment
into law of Rosenhaupt's maximum
rate bill.

Purchased Good Stock.

The North Pacific Rural Spirit,
of Portland, in its issue Of January
10Th, contained the following COM
munication concerning the stock
recently purchased by Metsker &
Klemgard, of near this city:
-. l.. Metsker, of that enterpris-
ing firm of Metsker & Klemgard, of
Pullman, Wash, was over short
time ago and took home with him
the roam son of Conqueror, Oregon
Champion, the handsome bull we
showed in the yearling class last
fall and last year as calf. He
was first prize yearlihg at the big
Provincial show at New Westmin-
ster, and last year at the Washing.
ton state fair, where calves and
yearlings had to compete together,
there being no calf class, he was
placed ahead of our herd bull Coli
son.
"He is very thick, massive fell
low, standing square on the short
est of legs. He is masculine, vet
neat, and with his grand style for
ward makes fine Appearance in
the show ring. He has plenty of
quality, and with the blood that is
back of him he cannot help being a
great sire. He is out of Mazurka
Napier 18th, one of our best breed
ing cows. For the past three
years we have had from two to
three of her produce Gall sired by
Conqueror) in the show herd each
year, and the fall of '9S her year
ling hsifer Gay Mazurka 18th won
the female championship, all ages
and breeds competing. Mr.. Nets.
ker also tool along a two year-old
Mazurka heifer, a Governor Clough
yearling heifer and heifer
calf, also by Governor Clough.
They were all good heifers that Mr..
Minor has been refusing to price,
and in the calf he got a plum, one
that we had promised could 60 with
us to the fairs next fall if she would
continue to act real nice, all of
which she promised to do.
Mr.. Metsker denies the charge
that he hypnotized Mr.. Minor in
order to make this deal. but we are
not so sure about it and will make
it point to be at home when he
visits the ranch in the future and
see that there is no foul play. How
ever much we regret to part with
this stock, we wish the best of sue
cess, and only hope they will turn
out as did the boar pig Hoosier
Chief; that We shipped them last
summer, and that won the cham
pionship wherever shown last fall.".

PRINCE OF MONACO
Has Made Sood Terms for Himssai

 Ten years have elapsed since Prince Albert ascended the throne of the Grimaldi amid a pageant which re-. called the middle ages, says the Gen. tleman's Magazine.

So far the most important event Of his reign has been the renewal of M. Blanc's original concession, which would have expired in 1913, for a fc1 -her period of fifty y 7ars from that date. This new privilege will have cost from first to last million sterling in hard cash paid to the prince; all annuity rising every ten years, till it will reach i100.000 in the last decade; new opera house, to cost G8e 900, and, as a recognition of the artistic tastes cs the prince, sum of E1,O00 for each of ten special representations at the theater He also receives, as may be seen from the balance sheet of the company for last year, an additional grant of e20,o00 for his law courts police and army of seventy-five men and is also a large shareholder in tho concern. Besides all this, the Casino pays for public works and roads, light ing, the water supply, the official wash house, the state baths and the loss on the postoffice, while, true to the religious character of Monaco, 1t gives grants to the bishop, the clergy and the conVents. In short, the contem- porarE history or Monaco is simply that of the Casino and the descendant of the Grimaldi is that very modern product-t'ie aristroeratic fRancier4

LYNCH LAW.
1t Is Prescribed for Five California ms
Accused of Petty Thievery-
AMOb's Vengeance.

Biebe, Cal, June 3. = Incomplete
the lynching of five men at Lookout,

The lynched were: Calvin Hall, So
years of age; his three half-breed
sons, Frank, James and Martin, aged
respectively &c, 10 and 16, and B. d.
Yantis, aged 81. AS reported here,
the men lynched had been suspected
of petty stealing for some time. Last
Saturday they were arrested for
stealing barb wire, pieces of harness
and some hay folks. A search war;
rant was issued and the harness and
forks found in the houses of Hall and
YantiS, who were taken into custody
and brought to Lookout, where they
were being held awaiting exam;na-
ton and trial. Sunday and for sew
eral days following other searches
were instituted and halters, dishes
and table linen which had been taken
from clotheslines were found hidden
on the premises of the suspected par
ties. The charge against the elder
Hall was petty larceny for stealing
the forks, hence he was allowed to
go about on his own recognizance.
The charges against the others was
burglary, and their examination had
been set for June 3. They were held
in custody, as they were unable to
furnish bail in the sum of $500. Pend

ing guarded in the Lookout hotel by
Constable Carpenter, assisted by B.
