In the last Congress he bitterly assailed

WAsHINGToY, Dec. l2.-Mutiny has
broken out in the House Democratic camp.
A large percentage of older members are
sorely disappointed over their committee
assignments, and the more they think of
It the more angry they become. They
blame Leader Williams for this state of
Affairs
The Democratic Representatives thought
that when Speaker Cannon gave the Missis-
srpian 80 much latitude Williams would
have power that he could use to the ad-
vantage Of the Democratic party. Williams
willingly assumed the responsibility, but
over since the committees were announced
be has heard kick after kick,
Complaint is made that he did too much
for Representatives from the Far South.
But what makes some of the Democrats
hotter still is that new man from Misss-
slppi has landed on the Rivers and Harbors
Committee in the person Of Benjamin Grubb
Humphreys of Greenwood. ..
Leader Williams asserts that he did not
recommend Humphreys for this important
committee, and Humphreys feels so elated
that he has actually let ii be known far and
vide that he got on the committee over the
head of Leader Williams. Some of the
disappointed ones, however. while admitting
that Speaker Cannon made the appointment
against the advice of Williams, are un-
charitable enough to intimate that Williams
was perfectly willing to acquiesce.
There is so much "pork" to be distributed
through the Rivers and Harbors Committee

Tennessee has tried his utmost to land on

Before punging into the pecan enter
prise they sought the advice of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture experts and were
assured that this nut would grow to per-
fection in the swamp lands they own down
in Claude's district. They are now plant
ing out 100 acres with the young trees, and
in ten years confidently expect to have an
income of fully $4,000 year net from the
venture.
Pecans sell readily at from 81 to 50 a blishel
for the finer varieties, according to the
supply, and the Alessrs. kitchin have dis
covered that this nut is in constant de-
Inand and is never a gut on the market.
1T is most nutritious, the crop never fails
and the nut is never attacked by worms or
insects. Their farm is on a riv er which
overflows annually like the Nile and greatly
enriches the land. Fertilizers are, there
fore, not needed and the labor cost of
gathering the nuts is a mere bagatele in
comparison with other crops.

mated by the Speaker TO attend the funeral
of the late Representative Burk of Phila-

Representative Olmsted and submitted

should offer the resolution of regret. Upon
the list was the name of Representative
Gaines.

of the House; "is he the fellow who talks

1t was explained that the name upon
the list was that Of Representative Gaines
of Tennessee. who is occasionally heard to
mako a few remarks in the House and has
some reputation for loquacily.

THE STUART WILL SUSTAINED.
Decision Upon Suit Of Much importance t.
Some Of Our People.


Judge Miller. of Vancouver, has
rendered his decision in the famous
Stuart will case in favor of the de.
wiser and against the contestants, on
every point. The case was tried in
January and the Judge has had the
matter under consideration till this
time. The announcement was re-
ceived in this city yesterday by Judge
T. N. Allen, one of the attorneys for
the defense.

best known business personalities in
this city. She was specially remark
able for her sound conservative bust.

her will demonstrated that positive
trait of character by doing something
out OF the common, making some OF
her friends who had treated her we'll
in life, her benefciaries to the exclu-
sionof relatives who had, probably
from want of opportunity, been unable
to ingratiate themselves into her alec
tions. Her estate aggregated about
100000 and the will was probsted
and distributed in accordance with
her,expressed wishes.
Then . brother and other relatives
came by attorney from the East and
made an effort to break the will, al
leging insanity on part of the deceased
and undue influence over her in her
last days, when the will was made.
The case has been watched with much
and it is safe to say that it
will meet with very general approval.

Spread Of Forest Fires.
Under the terms Of the new forest
fire law now in effect, State Fire War
den S. A. Calvert has appointed the
special patrolmen named by the cor
poratlons having large timber inter-
ests. These patrolmen are Deputy
Fire Wardens and serve without pay.
They are the regular timber cruisers
of the big companies. They are en-
powered to make arrests without war
rant OF any person violating the pro-
visions of the new forest fire act, and
will be instructed by their employers
to rigidly enforce the law with the
view OF affording the highest possible
protection to the timber interests. The
corporations are giving undivided sup
port to the new law which of course
was fsthered by them in the Legislature.
The Weyerhauser company has printed
several thousand cloth posters of the
law and placed them in the hands Of
their representatives. for posting.
The Puget Sound Lumbermen's as.
ISOLATION has had printed a thousand
tag board posters and the State has
printed five thousand on the same ma
terial and distributed them to the tim
Der counties of the State. In Thurs
ton county these have already been re-
ceived and turned over to the road
supervisors and are now being tackled
up where they will do the most good.

Why Do People Go BlindP

Forty years ago there were in the civ
ilized nations of the world about 100
blind persons to where there is one to-
day. Aside from accident, the almost
universal cause of blindness is congen-
ital deformity of the eye. If the eye is
misshapen in any manner, the lenses do
not make perfect image of what it looks
at on the retina or sensitive lining at the
back of the eye. This retina retains its
sensitiveness or ability to receive and i'm
part this image to the brain because of
its constant use. Therefore, if the i'm
age is not made, the retina is not used,
and dies through lack OF exerc Use, Just the
same as any other part of the body and the
person becomes blind. Some have brain
and nerve strength sufficient to compel
the crystalline or accommodative lens to
conform to the misshapen eye for years,
and until they have wrecked the nervous
system TO such an extent that they no
longer have strength to do the work,
they have fairly good vision and do not
realize their eyes are wrong; but with
this loss of strength goes the ability to
COIllDtt ttC lhuSC tbCh SohiOo tiiO lOSo
of sensitiveness, which means blindness
Others have all kinds of diseases of the
eve, brought about through overworking
or straining the delicate muscles OF the
eye to compel vision.
This can only be remedied through
what is called artificial refraction, a
thorough knowledge of which enables
the refractionist of to-day to make per-
feet image on the retina in spite of the
deformity, thus enabling natural and
continuous use of the retina, giving it
the proper exercise, in absence OF which
the eve goes blind. This is done with
glasses.
Forty years ago, children and young
persons were not allowed to wear these
glasses, hence the cause of SO much
blindness then and so little now.
There may be two or three qualities of
refraction required in a spectacle lens to
make the image perfectly, and if any
one of these is left out, the glasses are
little better than none. This is the rea-
son why so many glasses are not salts

give you perfect satisfaction, it will cost
you nothing to have your eyes examined
