The collapse of the oil boom in this
county we saw with much regret. 1t
WAS hoped in our mind that, if suffi
cient oil was discovered that the crude
oil might be used in an entirely diff
erent manner. than in simply refining
it. We refer to its use ON the public
tlIoroughfares. III Southern Califor-
mia the crude oil or refuse oil is used
to settle the dust in the roads. Here
similar conditions prevail. so far as
the great accumulation of dust is con-
cerned. The dust is almost insutfer-
able during the summer here and a
way must be solved to settle it, If we
would enjoy riding or driving on the
public roads Besides the annoyance
of those compelled to ride or drive in
it. it is serious menace to health
Had we obtained the oil it could have
been PLACED on the roads and the re-
suit would have been that they would
have packed thoroughly so that the
dlst would have not annoyed half so
much. The dust problem here is one
that the future must solve, as our
population increases and the roads
are used to greater extent.

Shaw Bill Passes House and Likely
to Pass Senate.
Washington, April 19.-The house
has passed the treasury department
bill removing the headquarters of the
Puget Sound district from Port Town
send TO Seattle, and extending the priv
ilege of Immediate customs transper-
tation to Spokane, Blaine, Sumas and
Nelson.
Representatives Cnshman and Jones
spoke vigorously in opposition to the
removal of the customs house, declar-
ing no one in the state of Washington
wanted it. Chairman Payne, of the
ways and means committee, and the
majority laeders of the house declared,
however, that it was department
measure pure and simple, and that it
was necessary from an administration
standpoint.
1t was admitted that no step had
been taken by Seattle interests to fur
ther the passage of the bill. The house
passed the bill by vote of 88 to AZ.
There is more than a possibility that
the measure will be passed by the SEN
ate. Representative Jones talked with
members oof the senoate interested in
the bill and afterward expressed the
fear that such would be the case. Sen
ator Aldrich and Senator Allison,
chairman and ranking Republican
member, respectively of the finance
committee and the most powerful lead
ers in the senate have listened to the
arguments of Secretary Shaw and AS
sistant Secretary Armstrong in the
matter and have promised to support it.
