Rock Cars In the River.

An accident occurred on the jetty at

the head car, signaled the engineer.
but the latter was busy putting on a
fire. and did not see the signal Al
once
When he did he applied the brakes
so quickly that the drawhead was
Jerked from the first car, and this
probably saved the engine. The driv.
ers left the track. and tore up the ties
for several yards before the locomo-
tive could be stopped. but Il settled
down right side up.
The train. consisting OF IA cars.
went overheard ON the south side OF

trackwalker went with them. but es.
capped without serious injury, and the
cars can probably be rescued.

Phlllpplne Woods.

The value of the woods in the Phil
ippine Islands to many branches of
industry is Very great, for they pos
sess qualities unknown to our own.
A correspondent of the Modern Ma.
chinist says that one Of them is an ex-
ceedingly fine-grained tough wood,
very useful for tool handles, while an
other seems to be a cross between
wood and iron. for II is very heavy
and resistant so much 50 that the
natives use IL for spear heads. II
can be readily worked by tools. and
has a metallic ring. In some cases II
is wrought TO shape by emory wheels.
Another species Is a close grained.
tough wood. which seems to be a dye
wood for when immersed II stains
the water bright yellow for a long
distance around II. This wood is also
quite heavy and takes a fine finish.
American lumbermen call IL yellow
jack" till another wood is called
''Belang" by the natives. and white
wood by American lumberman, but
Is quite different from our own wood
Of that name. II can only be worked
by very sharp tools, but has a veined
surface when finished. and is capable
of taking a high polish. The business
Of preparing these woods for Ameri-
can markets is going forward with
dispatch. and II is said to be very
profitable.

The board OF ash commissioners

monthly report OF Master Fish Warden
Van Dusen. The board also discussed
the proposed fsh ladder at Oregon
city. and adopted the plans submitted
by Mr.. Van Duson. and that gentleman
is In Oregon City today. with view
of having the fsh ladder installed at

The ladder, as proposed. Is an elabor.

cipally to the long continuation OF the
freshet OF the river. which interfered
10 great extent with the fishing ap.
pliances. There were fully as many
salmon entered the river. though not
as many were caught owing 20 the
fact that Tor fully six weeks time the

Spokane. Sept 10-That Senator
Dubois, OF Idaho, will resist the claims
OF Senator Smoot, Of Utah. to a seat
in the United States senate. and that
such resistance will be followed by
n Democratic campaign to re-establish
the test oath in Idaho against mem
hers Of the Mormon church. Is the
unanimous belief OF Idaho Democrats
close to Senator Dubois. His attitude
is foreshadowed by an interview with
S. p. Donnelly. chairman OF the Dem
ocratic state committee OF Idaho, a
close personal friend OF Senator Du-
bols. The senator said:
Several years ago the Mormon
church issued a manifesto to the effect
that. in obedience to the laws OF the
United States. the church would hold
its polygamous doctrines in abeyance.
In accordance with that manifesto,
the state OF Idaho repealed the test
oath.
1T has become so plain that no one
can dispute the fact that the Norman
church has not lived up TO its mani.
festo. Polygamy Is still being prac'
ticed. and the promises Of the church
TO keep its hands out Of politics. which
was also promised in the manifesto.
is being openly violated. Witness the
Of the church in the last
state and senatorial elections In Ida
no. and the appointment Of a Mormon
bishop to one OF the most important OF
the federal positions in the state.
I'VE propose 20 inaugurate cam.
paign for the absolute separation OF
politics from religious influence and
The logical result OF
such a campaign will be the re-est9b-
lishment Of the test oath. II the Nor.
mons are honest In their declaration
that polygamy is no longer counte
nanced by the church. and that the
church's hands are on politics. they
cannot consistently object TO the test
oath.
IT their pretensions are insincere.
which everybody who knows anything
about them knows they are. they will
fight the matter out 10 the bitter end.
