to ask for the passage Of a bill through

BILE. Mr.. Byrnes saw the. speaker, and
prevailed upon him to- give the bill right
of way. 1t went through the house dur
ing the height Of the democratic filibus
ter, "a debate occurring and a roll CALL
There was practically no opposition. The
debate was from the democratic side, and
was entirely devoted to the Butler-Wa-
goner election contest and the Philip
pines. The bin was hurried over to the
senate, introduced, referred to the mill
tary committee. reported out and put upon
the senate calendar. Senator Nelson took
charge Of it. and got it through the senate
late Tuesday afternoon. while the demo-
Gratis were filibustering to prevent con-
s1derat1on OF the Aldrich currency Dill. Mr..
Byrnes took the bill after passage. hur-
ried up it's engrossment, and personally
took it to the president Immediately after
dinner Tuesday evening 1t was signed at
once, and is now law. The thing was
most unusual. and no man save one with
as many friends in public life as Mr..
Byrnes could have accomplished 1t. The
remarkable fact about the matter was
that the bill could be got through both
houses just as the session was about to
adjourn, and notwithstanding a demo-
cratic fllibuster in each.
Mr.. Byrnes left Washington for New
York yesterday and will start for Mime

CANADA BACKS 1T
PREMIER LAURIER MAKES STATE
MENT TO PARLIAMENT.
New Transcontinental Line Will
Stretch from Moncton, N. B., to
Port Simpson, on the Pacific.
Undertaken to Make Canada
Commercially independent.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 1.-Sir Wilfried
Laurier announced in parliament the
details of the contract between the
Grand Pacific and the government for
the building of q national transconti-
mental railway. The road will stretch
from Moncton, n. B., to Port Simpson.
on the Pacific ocean, distance Of 300
miles.
The government will build with pub
lie money the line from Moncton to
Winnipeg and lease the line to the
company for fifty years. For seven
years the lease will be free, the compa-
ny paying the operating expenses. The
next three years the company will pay
over all net earnings. For the remain
der of the life of the lease the company
will pay the government per cent on
the gross receipts. The government
will supervise the building of the line,
but the company's engineers will do
the work
From Winnipeg to the Pacific the
company agrees to build the line with
in seven years. The government will
guarantee 70 per cent of the cost of
construction up to $780, 90 per mile on
the prairie and $50, 900 per mile on the
mountain section. The government
will hold first mortgage on the line
between Winnipeg and the Pacifi: as
security for it's guarantee and the
Grand Trunk railway will guarantee
the bonds of the Grand Trunk Pacific
for its proportion of the cost of the Sec
ton. The company will have running
privileges over the Intercolonial. All
companies will have running privileges
between Moncton and Winnipeg, SUBJ
iect to the company's. Unrouted traffic
in tbe winter must go to st. John and
Halifax at Portland rates.
The company must deposit in sixty
days IS 900 900 as security for the full
fillment of the contract. The money
will be released for the building of the
final section.
Sir Wilrfied Laurier spoke at length
in explanation of the project. He said
the road would build through the mar
atime province that Canadian port
might be opened on the seaboard to
render Canada Independent should the
United States at any time stop the
bonding privilege.
1.-The best way" said the premier.
"to remain friendly with the United
States is to remain independent COM
mercially."

TO EXTEND RATES.
Northern Lines Preparing to Handle
Fail Settlers.

Seattle, Aug. 3.--Homeseeker rates
on the transcontinental lines to the
North Pacific coast, which are due to
expire within thirty days, will be con-
tlnued into the late fall, and it is not
improbable that the settler rates which
were abandoned June Is, with the in
umaton that they would not again be
restored this year, will soon be again ia
iull force and effect.
Both the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific are preparing to handle a
large tide of immigration to the North
west this fall. Agents have been sent
out in the Eastern, Middle Western
ana Southern states, with an abund-
ahce of advertising matter, to continue
me work dropped in the early summer.
Most OF the matter which will be dis
trlDuted relates to Washington and
north Dakota, and these two states, 1T
Is expected, will receive substantial ad-
uitions to their populations before the
end of the year.

T. s. LIPPY ROBBED.
One of the Most Daring Holdups
Recorded in Seattle.

Seattle, Aug. Thomas S. Lippy,
the Klondike capitalist, was waylaid
by burglars in his home, 1919 James
street, on Lis return from church at 10
o'clock last night, and was beaten over
the head with a gun, was bound with
drapings torn from the doorway of his
dining room and was robbed of two
gold watches and $14 in money. He
was then led up the stairway and tied
to landing post by the two robbers
While this scene was in progress of
enactment, Ora Sleeper, servant in
the houes, who had entered twenty
minutes earlier. sat bound, gagged and
tied in a chair on the first landing of
the stair way, where, unable to speak a
word, she witnessed what was happening
to the master of che house below, and
fearing every moment a shot would
ring out which would add murder to
the crime.
The affair was undoubtedly the most
daring which has ever been committed
in Seattle. While it progressed people
were passing up and down James street
in front of the Lippy hosue, and the
tread of their steps could be plainly
heard within.
After the robbers had depal ted, Miss
Sleeper united herself and assisted Mr..
Lippy in freeing his arms from the post
to which they buoth had been bound.
With blood flowing from three wounds
in his head Mr.. Lippy ran down the
stairway into tie dining room, where
he secured gun and hurried to the
front door. By that time, however,
the robbers had disappeared. The po-
lice were at once notified, but up to
this time no results have been obtained.

ALASKA HATCHERIES.
Recommendation to Be Made for Gov
eminent to Maintain Them.

Seattle, Aug. 1.-Anotoer season
will winners many changes in the treas
ury department regulations governing
the Alaska salmon industry. These
changes will be of such nature as will
almost entirely relieve cannerymen in
the North of the burden they have been
carrying, and which has forced many
of them out of business.
A week ago, on his return from Alas
ka, where he went as head of the fish
commission appointed by congress to
look into the conditions of this indus
try, DR.. David Strar Jordan sounded
the keynote in statement that hatch
cries are needed in the North, and that
the government should build and
maintain them.
After the departure of DR.. Jordan
for California the commission was Join
ed on the Southeastern coast of Alaska
by Col. II. M. Kutchin, special treas.
ury agent in charge of Alaska fisheries.
He went north az far as Kuyuk on the
revenue cutter Perry and is accompany
ing the commission on it's tour of in
spection among the canneries.
The investigation of the commission
so far, according to advices received
here from members of the party, are
that the government must maintain
hatcheries. Col. Kutchin has long
been of this opinion, and year ago 80
advised the department. The commits
sion, therefore, has decided to recon-
mend to the government that three
hatcheries be established along the
Alaskan coast, each of sufficient capa-
city to supply all the canneries within
its district with ten fry for every fish
taken out of the waters for canning or
sailing purposes. For these fry the
canneries will pay to the government
price based on the actual cost of the
operation of the hatcheries. This the
cannerymen have expressed willing
ness to do if they are relieved of the
burden of maintaining separate Gamer
les. as at present.

IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Great Reservoir in Mountains Near
WaIla Walla.

Walla Walla, Aug. Government
engineers, who have spent considerable
time along the south fork of the Walla
Walla river the past three months,
have guardediy admitted that a stupen-
dous scheme is being considered for
storing waters of the stream to be used
for irrigation purpose. The scheme,
as it is now under consideration, is for
the construction of huge dam across
the canyon at the Reddin place, back
ing the waters into the mountains for
a distance of five miles, and pipe it
from the level across the high range
OF hills to the valley below.
1t is estimated by the engineers that
a section of country embracing the
Wallula sand belt. thirty miles long by
nearly as many wide, could be watered
at slight cost, the largest item of ex-
pcnse being the construction of the
dam. If the proposed plans are car
ried out, as it is practically admitted
they will be in time, the dam necessary
to keep the waters in control will form
one of the largest pieces of masonry
work in the West. 1t is estimated that
1t wonld have an entire length of . 800
feet by 1876 feet in height and 40 feet
wide at the base, tapering to a mini
mum thickness of "a feet at the top.
A final survey of the land under the
proposed reservoir is expected to be
made within the next two months.
The engineers report, together with
the estimated cost of the dam, will
then be forwarded to the government
bureau for final consideration.

VIII begin at Huntington, Or, and 90
north along the old route of the North
west railroad, which was begun several
yearsa go, but work was suspended DUR
ing the financial stringency and never
again resumed. The new company has
bought the right OF way, including
thirty miles of grade, from the old
Northwest road. 1t is said the bulk of
this grade is in comparatively from the
Northwest. 1t is said the bulk of this
grade is in comparatively good condi-
ton and can be placed in condition
for the rails at slight expense. The
Northwest road owned the right of way
for sixty miles down the river from
Huntington, which includes Box can
yon, the key to the railroad situation
along that route. NJ. o. Reed, presi-
dent of the new road, returned last
week from New York, where he COM
pleted the purchase of this right of
way, which has been under negotiation
for several months, and also succeeded
in interesting capitalists to the extent
that 100000 worth of the bonds of the
road will be taken in New York. A
representative of these capitalists will
meet Mr.. Reed and party of engineers
at Huntington next week, and take a
trip over the proposed line of road.

RAD CALIFORNIA WEED.
Fruit Inspector w. HI. Brown Warns
Washington Farmers.

Seattle, July 3l.-Fruit Inspector
W. Ii. Brown has made the DISCOVERY
of plant introduced in large quanti-
ties from California which may cause
much future trouble to the farmers I'M
less some measures are taken to check
it's growth. He considers it as great a
pest as the Canadian or Russian thistle
and is drawing the attention OF the
county attorney and county commits
sioners to its appearance, that it's
spread may be checked.
This weed is called the wild morning
glory, and is vine resembling the
common domestic flower. Its roots
strike down into the ground to a great
depht, and for this reason it is almost
an impossibiltiy to get rid of it once i.
has acquired foothold. 1t may be
burned low, or Otherwise desroyed, but
new growth will assert itself in a
weeks time, and consequently it is one
of the strongest enemies the farmer
has to meet and fight.
The weed will not only attack veg
tables, but once the seeds are sown in
stTdWDeTry pacu It GTo"e Gu iuAuIi-
antly as to greatly interfere with the
small fruits.
Immense quantaities of the weed ar
rive from California as the protective
covering on the mouths of sacks of po-
tatoes, onions and other vegetables.
The vines are at present covered with
capsules containing the ripe seeds, and
these are mischief bearers if once they
are allowed a resting place in the soil.
