Must File All Tariffs.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 18.-As
a consequence of the recent announces
ment made by the Interstate Conn
merce commission that on and after
Jan. 1. the tariffs of exports and inn
ports must be filed as well as those
relating to domestic shipments repre-
sentatives of the newly organized for
eign trade association of America app
peared before the commissions today
and spoke in favor of the PRONUNCIATION
Of the tariffs as proposed. Repre-
sentatives of others interested in the
matter also appeared before the COM
mission and gave their views, some Of
which were in opposition to the new
plan.
1t is the contention Of the shippers
and importers that the railroads would
benefit a great deal by filing their
schedules and thereby assuring uni
form rates to all. Those favoring the
proposed rule assert that there un-
doubtedly has been discrimination in
favor of certain localities on exports
and imports. They declare that II
these unfavorabie conditions were re-
moved a.great growth in trade would
result.

The close proximity of the holidays

records at the court house show that
little in the way Of transfers have been
made in the past week. Outside Of a
small sale of $845 there was absolute

very little in city real estate, the rec
ords showing that city property of tHe
value Of but SOFAS changed hands du-
ring the week.
The only noteworthy deal was the
transfer Of the narrow gauge railway
of 12,442 miles to the Mill Creek rail-
road company, for $S7.5O0. The deed
calls for all that certain line narrow
gauge railroad and telegraph described
as beginning at the intersection of the

The ShowaIters claimed a contract
OF sale from Sorenson, who claimed
title by virtue Of sherifrs deed. the
land having been sold under execu-
ton Of q mortgage issued by the for
mer owners, Moses and Catherine
Ldree. The Showalters asked to have
their title quieted.
In replying to an answer Of the de-
PENDANTS, HUMPHREYS alleged the inval-

that it had been executed by Catherine
Loree alone, when the property was
owned by herself and husband.
After the taking Of testimony the
lower court directed q verdict for
Humphries.
The supreme court finds that the
land was the community property Of
the Lorees. and that therefore the mort
gage signed by the wife alone was in
valid and the title could not be quiet
ed as to the Showalters.
The court further held that Hum

he said. there you will find women and
mere girls-they in themselves not
immodest nor conscious of evil, but
wearing the badge of degradation fol-
a certain class we cannot discuss here
1t is only a reflection of these condi-
tons which, when they grow strong
enough, dominate the world, or that
part of it in which they exist-domin-
ate it until they meet destruction. The
shop girl dresses as the lady Of the

"Such dress dulls the modesty, les
sens true womanliness, initiates pro-
pensity to sensuality. It is introdu-
cling, one by one, modes which are
blowing out the light of decency. Con-
sidering these things, it is not an IL

the .. R. n. At WORK
COMPLETING AND ADJusTlNo
RIGHTS oF-WAY FROM "a.
PARiA TO LEWIsToN.
An indication That the Company Will
Construct Linz Up the
Snake River. Il

The Lewiston Tribune says that the
o. R. & N. now has q representative in
the field completing and adjusting
right-of-ways acquired by that COM
pany five years ago. This step In con-
nection with the statement now made
that the lewiston Riparia line will be
built is an indication that the construc-
ton work is soon to be taken up. The
representative now in the field is Mr..
C. w. Wanzer Of Portland. and he was
busily engaged yesterday in his work.
The O. r. & N. owns right-of-way
from Riparia to Grangeville, this be-
ing acquired in 1898. The right of
way follows the north bank of the
Snake river to the mouth of the Clear
water, and thence up the north bank
Of that stream to q point opposite the
town of Spalding when it crosses to
the south bank. From Spalding it
extends along the south bank to the
mouth of Big Canyon, when it enters
the canyon and runs through the
prairie country to Mohler and Cotton
wood with Grangeville as the terminus.
Mr.. Wanzer started his present work
at Riparia, and will continue along the
right of way to Grangeville. He is Sc
curing signatures to an acknowledge
ment that the right-of-way over the
lands involved have been purchased by
the company, and that occupants upon
notice shall surrender or abandon the
same. This step is taken to protect
the company against any lapse OF
rights that might occur through fail
ure to occupy the lands embraced in
the right for a period of five
years. In this connection it is ex-
planned that the five-year limit in some
instances will soon expire and the COM
pany is taking the present step as a
precaution against a controversy aris-
ing that might delay construction ope-
rations. However, the company can
instantly acquire possession before the
expiration of the five-year limit by
fencing or otherwise occupying the
lands in question, thus insuring per-
petuation Of their. rights.

ti0htness OF Money ana tho La
Dor Troubles the Cause.
CHICAGO. Dec. 22.-The withdrawal
Of large orders for rolling stock by
many railroad companies now gives
rise to the assumption that the corpor-
atoms are looking forward to con-
tinuance of unsettled conditions in the
money market. In the case of small
roads, actual inability to secure the
necessary loans is said to have caused
orders for cars to be countermanded.
The fact that capitalists and high
railway officials are viewing with con-
Germ the aggressive attitude of labor
for the past year is another theory ad-
vanced as a reason for this STEP.
The Illinois Central presents a case
in which the lack Of money theory is
tenable. This railway is continually
adding to it's equipment. The building
Of from 800 to 900 new cars was con-
templated this fall. Estimates were
already under way. Before the con-
tracts were let the road decided that
it could wait a while before ordering
new cars. Old cars were repaired.
The labor question has been cited
as cause Of the roads change OF
front. If this corporation should OBJ
tain new cars more labor would be re-
quired to operate them. This would
add to the fighting strength of labor
during the winter season. Factories
in the central states are in many cases
reducing their forces Of mechanics.
To fill orders for new cars the car
building companies would need more
men. An opportunity would be thus
afforded to the mechanics to secure
steady employment for the winter
months.

MAKE A LAST APPEAL.
Chief Joseph to Again Journey te

Peo-peo- talikt, one of the NeZ-Perce
under chiefs, was in the city yesterday
from Spalding, making arrangements
to start today for Washington in COM
pany with Chief Joseph and Andrew
Whitman, says the Sundays Lewiston
Tribune. He states the party will go
before the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs and again ask that Chief Joseph
and his followers be restored to the
lands of the Wallowa valley. A let
ter received from the commissioner
states that the Indians will be given
a hearing, but that the government
will bear no part of the expense in
cured in the trip.
Chief Joseph will join the party at
Spokane and will make his last plea
for the restoration of the lands that
have caused the many trips to Wash
ington. 1t is understood that several
other matters relative to the tribe will
be presented by Chief Joseph, but ii
is not expected that the chief will
have much influence with the depart
ment The lands of the WallawO val
ley that are asked to again be given to
the Indians, are in the most valuable
section of eastern Oregon and have
been brought to a high state of cult

gated the conditions Of the aged chief
and have decided that his present
quarters are more favorably adapted
