RELIEF FROM FLOODS.
Congress May Act in Lake Wash.
ingtOn Portage Matter.

ingtOn Portage Matter.
Seattle, Nov. IA special dispatch
to the Post Intelligencer from Wash
ington states that joint resolution has
been introduced in congress providing
Tor an immediate examination and es-
innate of cost of providing protection
from floods in the valleys of the White,
Black, Duwamish and Sammamish
rivers.
This resolution was introduced at
the request of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, which has taken an ener-
getic part in the movement to minim-
ize the danger to valley farms from
flood water. Requests have also been
made by the Chamber of Commerce to
the war department to open the portage
and government canal which lead from
Lakes Washington and Union respec-
lively, 90 as to give a greater flow of
water from Lake Washington into the
bay.
1t has been generally agreed that
authority has not been given the war
department to change the plans for the
SONt| IiltIll CdIldl DclNttIl IahC w aSIi-
ington and the Sound. If relief to the
farmers can only be accorded through
the lowering OF Lake Washington and
the free flow of water from that lake
into the Sound, it is believed congress
will first have to grant authority for
changes ion the present portage and
canal.
Appropriations for further work
would be sufficient.

Mr. Norton says the native soft woods
are out OF the question for use in bridge

poles, and that the native hard woods
are undesira BILE On account of the
ravages OF insects in the Philippines,
all railway ties must be creosoted.

HELD TO BE EROUS.
Care Must Be Exercised in Con
tracts by Telephone.

OLYMPIA, Nov. IL TO what extent
a conversation over the telephone binds
a party to a verbal contract is the ques-
ton at issue in King county suit in
which the supreme court has lust hand
ed down an opinion which reversed the
Judgment of Seattle jury awarding
damages on the strength OF contract
made by telephone.
When j. W. Young went to the klon-
dixie in the rush of 1898 he left instruc-
lions with a friend to have trunk
stored with the Seattle Transfer Com
pany. This friend, Mr.. Ramsey, ac-
cordingly called up the transfer compa-
ny by telephone and asked them to cali
for the trunk. A second request was
made before the trunk was taken away.
Mr.. Ramsey did not recognize the
voice answering him at the telephone
and had no means of proving that Sc
attic Transfer agent got the trunk, save
that some one whom he did not see
called Tor the trunk.
liz the summer of 1901, Mr.. Young
wrote down from Alaska to his friend,
Mr.. Ramsey, to have the trunk for
warded to him. The Seattle Transfer
Company was unable to find the prop
ertv in its warehouse and denied ever
having received it. The suit followed
and on the strength of the telephone
conversation as aobve jury gave Mr..
Young $240 damages.
The supreme court holds, citing sew
eral authorities, Communications when
material to the issues, through the me.
dunn of the telephone may be shown
in the same manner and with like
eff ect as conversation between indivd
uals face to face. but the identity
sought to be charged with the liability
must be established by some testimony
either direct or circumstantial To
hold parties responsible for answers
made by unidentified persons in re-
Spouse to calls at the telephone from
their Offices or places Of business con-
corning their affairs, opens the door for
fraud and imposition and establishes a
dangerous precedent which is not sane
toned by any rule of law or principle
of ethics OF which we are aware.' The
case is accordingly ordered dismissed.

LACEY WILL OPPOSE.
Chairman of Public Lands Commit
tee Likes Present Laws.

Washington, Nov. l3.-The prospect
increases that the controversy over
changes in the public lard laws will &C.
cupy large part of the time OF the reg
ular congressional session. The impor-
tant announcement has been made that
Representative Lacey, of Iowa, chair
man of the house committee on public
lands, will oppose any changes what
ever in the present laws. He is an in
huental factor to be reckoned with,
but there is a tremendous weight OF
opinion in favor of their wholesale re-
peal and revision.
Secretary OF the Interior Hitchcock
has been hammering away on this sub
ject for several years and he will ham
mer harder than ever this year. He is
go unpopular in congress, however, tina,
his wishes in this matter are of little
significance, but he will be able to show
that some of the present scandals in
the land department are due 10 no lack
of vigilant administra. ion but to grave
faults in the laws themselves.
Opposed to Change.
MOI OLlE IL representative Lacey OPP
posed to making any changes in the
timber and stone, desert land anC
homestead Communication laws, but he
will oppose any addition to the lier
! land law. 1t is this law which Score
tary Hitchcock decalres is responsible
for so much rascality and fraud. Mr.
Lacey said:
"The more stringent you make the
land laws the greater the incentive tC
violate them. II the existing laws are
properly enforced they are all right,
To repeal the lieu land law would be
unfair to persons who still hold land il
forest reserves. As long as that law
stands the interior department will be
extremely careful how it creates new
reserves"

SELL THE TIMBER
HANSBROUGH INTRODUCES LAND
BILL IN SENATE.
In Effect 1t Repeats Present Tim
Der and Stone Act.-Right to Re-
Move Timber to Be Sold for
What 1t Is WOrth..Lacey Will
Oppose Change in Present Laws

Washington, Nov. 10. Senator Hans
broough has introduced bill which by
implication repeats the timber and
stone act, under which land is now
acquired at $3.50 an acre regardless of
its real value. The MEASURE is intend.
ed to cure defects in existing laws, to
stop speculation in public timber lands
and put an end to the frauds which
have recently grown into natiohl
question. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on public lands, of which the
author is chairman.
The secretary OF the interior is au-
thorized, under the new bill to make
examinations and estimates relative to
the quantity and value of timber and
stone on the public lands and to sell
the right to dispose of the same in
quantities as may seem advisable to
the highest bidders. This plan is now
pursued in the sale of timber on Indian
lands in Minnesota. The title to land
remains in the United States govern
ment and the secretary OF the interior
may fix the limit of time in which the
purchaser OF the right shall sci, or re-
move the timber or stone. The right
to cut the timber and make it mer-
charitable is made inalienabie.
Effect of Measure.
If Senator Hansbrough' measure be-
comes law all the timber land on the
public domain will be withdrawn from
entry and the government will enter
upon the policy of disposing of its
timber at its market value. One pro
vision in the bill prohibits entry Of
these lands under the homestead or old
land laws. 1t is argued by Senator
Hansbrough that in leaving the fee to
the land department demonstration will
take place and the sale of timber will
be source of large revenue.
The second section OF the bill amends
the lieu land section so as to provide
when settler whose entry falls within
forest reserve selects another piece of
land in lieu of the original entry it
must be more valuable for agricultural
purposes than for timber or stone.
Under the existing law many of the
entrymen who find themselves within
forest reserve cut and dispose OF the
timber on the land and later 60 outside
OF the reserve and file homestead on
other timber land. ~
The third section of the bill amends
the act of March II, 1901, and requires
all proofs of committed homestead en-
tries and of desert land entries to be
made before registers and receivers in
local land offices. This proposed amendss
ment to existing law is recommended
by the commissioner of the general land
office, who in his last report says
"The privileges gained by the act
have been greatly abused. particularly
by United States commissioner who
have often been PARTIES to VII lesa!e
frauds in connection with proofs made
before them"

WAY DOWN IN MAINE.

Way down in Maine,
Where skies are blue as skies can be,
Where sunshine falls like golden rain
On green hills sloping towards the sea,
There hides little, sunny nook,
Thick starred with springs first viOlets,
Far from the city's crowded streets,
The narrow life that jars and frets.
And safe within this sheltered spot,
There stands a house, moss-grown and
gray,
With little gardens round about,
Where wand'ri breezes stop and play.
o little house among the hills,
l, lone exile, often dream
stand once more within your walls,
roam once more by field and stream.
Again my bare, brown feet have found
The shortest way across the hill
To where ripe nuts fall earliest,
And berries redden by the mill.
All me! to know, just as of old,
Where spring first spills her violets,
To find, far more from the world OF men,
Some little nook where one forgets!
O dreary walls of brick and stone!
o weary life that numbs the brain!
Home sick, my heart calls out for you,
Dear Hills of Maine!
