Portland, May 30.-At a meeting in
Portland Saturday afternoon between
c. NJ. Levy assistant to the presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and b. A. Worthington, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Har,
riman lines in the Pacific northwest,
in the latter's office in the Worcester
building, an agreement was conclud-
ed by which IT'S miles of road will be
built at once and operated jointly,
tapping the entire Clearwater basin,
and bringing the traffic of that coun-
try into Portland.
Both roads are ready for instant ac-
ton and construction work will be un.
der way within 10 days. The o. R. &
n. company will build from Riparia
to Lewiston, and the Northern Paci-
fic will continue the line to Grange
vile.
The companies will spend approx
mately $4,500,O00 on the projects.
The Hartman people have every prep
aration made and contractors are al
ready in Portland to close contracts
with Chief Engineer Bosky for the
grading, ties and all construction
work
At the chief engineers office the
greatest activity prevails. Nothing is
given out from the Hartman side for
publication, deep secrecy having been
enjoined on all officials here in re-
spect to plans and intentions.
1t is known that the Hartman peo-
pie will begin actual construction work
first.

wATERsPoUT ON THE SALMON.
Stage Road Destroyed for Distance of
Five Miles.


The Whitebird section, on the Sal
mon river southwest of Grangeville,
was visited yesterday by waterspout
and the road leading down the Rob-
erts gulch to the town is destroyed for
a distance of five miles and it is be-
lieved travel by wagon canont be re-
sumed for three weeks. The storm
struck on the Roberts and Long
gulches and swept to the canyon below
covering a strip about five miles wide.
Fortunately only fences and the
road lay in the path of the storm, but
a path of destruction marks its course.
The stages en- route to Whitebird
and Grangeville were both caught in
the waterspout and the drivers were
compelled to abandon their wagons
and escape with the horses and mail
sacks. The mail was brought to
Grangeville today by Dan Bell on pack
horses and he tells of the great vio-
lence of the storm. The mountain Is
cut with deep seams and the road is
entirely obliterated in places and in
its stead are gullies 10 feet wide and
80 feet deep. The road will necessari-
ly have to be entirely reconstructed.
The storm is considered equal to
the one that visited the country eight
years ago, but was not general. Only
small space was covered at White
bird after which the storm raised and
passing in the Cottonwood section
struck again near Harpster. but Its
fury had been spent and little damage
was sustained.-Lewiston Trobune.

CALDWELL REFORMS.
Civic and Moral Crusade Is Being
Carried On.

Our new city officials are very busy
putting into effect and carrying out
the wish of the majority of our peo-
pie as expressed at our last city cleo
tion, and much progress is being
made, says the Caldwell News. The
slogan of Mayor Madden is "a clean
city both morally and sanitarily," and
he is putting his intentions into effect.
We already notice many improve
ments being made. one of the first
moves being the ordering of all slot
machines in town closed. These
orders were given the marshal last
week and he at once put it into
effect, another step in the right di-
rection was taken last Wednesday,
when the denizens of the red light dis
trict were asked to migrate to more
congenial climes, and June 1, or
before, was the day set for breaking
up house. Three complied at once and
the balance expect to by that date.
Marshal Maxey has served over
200 notices during the past 10 days
to all business houses in the city to
clean up their front and back yards
and alleys as we'll as to all residents.
This will give the town a much neater
appearance and will make it much
more sanitary.
Many people all over the country
are watching with interest the career
of our reform officials, and will COM
pare it with other towns that have
been run wide open, and we want to
inform them of the vast Improvement
in our city already, with more to fol-
low. We congratulate our present
city administration on the carrying
out of the desires of those electing
them, and for the fearless manner in
which they perform their duty. Let
the good work go on.

PRIZE POEM ON THE TRAIL, ;,
John Malcolm Graham Wins 500
Prize From Fair Committee.

Portland, May 30.-John Malcolm.
Graham is the winner of the 500
prize offered by I. n. Fleischner, vice
president and chairman of the com
mittee of publicity of the Lewis and
Clark fair, for the best poem on 1.-The
Trail A decision was reached by
the judges last night and announced
by Mr.. Fleischner.
The identity of John Malcolm Gra-
ham, the successful author, is un-
known to the judges who made the
decision or to the committee of pub
licity who will award the prize. 1t is
believed that the name was assumed
i'm order to conceal the identity of the
author.
In submitting the poem the author
addressed a brief note to Mr.. Fleisch-
ner, with the directions that any COM
munications would reach him through
the general delivery of the local post
office. The city directory does not in
clude the name of John Malcolm Gra-
ham.
The judges who made the decision
were Hugh Hume, n. j. Levison and
Frank Rigler They examined 800 or
400 poems submitted by the authors
in all parts of the United States.
The poem follows:
The Trail.
The call comes strong and insistent
Out of the west-oh, harkl
Follow through hail or sun the trail
Blazed by Lewis and Clark"
On with the blanket and saddle,
Ride like the devil possessed,
Swift on the way by night and day;
Hit the trail to the west!
Sting of the wind IN our faces,
Crunching of hoofs on sand,
Whate'er betide, pause not, but ride
Straight to the promised land.
! Whiteness of sails on the ocean,
Cleaning of gold in the hills,
Glory of grain on the harvest vain,
Upcurling smoke from the mills.
Off with the saddle and blanket,
Kindle our hearthfire's spark,
| Here's all hail to the westward trail
Blazed by Lewis and Clark!

NO TARIFF REVISION

Washington. June 12.-Speaker Can
non and Representatives Dalzell,
Hayne and Tawney. all leaders In the
House., saw the President today and
urged him to postpone the extra ses-
sion OF Congress until November 18th.
They gave as a reason the fall cleo
tons in various states, to which the
Congressman wish to devote their at
tention.
As matter OF fact, the House lead
ers are strongly opposed to an early
extra session, which would AFFORD time
for the agitation Of tariff revision, in
spired by the Presidents recent order
regarding Panama canal supplies.
They think the longer the extra ses-
sion is postponed the less talk there
will be OF tariff revision, after the
public has recovered from its panic
regarding Panama.
'One thing Is certain" said one OF
these statesmen, after visiting the
White House. that is, that the Presi-
dent will not talk tariff revision in his
message to Congress in the extra ses-
sion. He will call that extra session
solely for the purpose of pushing
through railroad rate legislation, and
he does not intend to be diverted by
tariff talk. He realizes that Congress
could not take up both subjects and
dispose of them In the brief extra ses-
sion. The President is not nearly as
strong In favor of tariff revision as
some people think. That Panama Or
der was not issued for the purpose OF
bringing the revision issue sharply to
the front, but was issued simply be-
cause Congress made no provision to
the contrary. The President has now
made It clear that he never intended
to rush abroad and load up with for
eign purchases for the canal.
"As to tariff revision, he objects to
the use Of that term. and prefers the
word modification which means
changes to meet the present conditions
In view OF the Presidents determine
ton to keep railroad rate legislation
in the foreground, 1t is safe to say
there will be no attempt at tariff tink'
ering during the next session"

In England customs duties origlnat-
ed as insurance premiums paid to the
crown by foreign traders. In those
days the alien merchant was not pro-
tected by the law of the land. He
bought this personal security at a
price from the king, and was thus ey-
empt from violence while hawking
his wares through the realm. Gus
toms duties today resemble less an

Speed Of japanese
SHIPS COUNTED
Against The Russians


st. Petersburg, June 1O.-The En-
peror has received long telegram from
Rear Admiral Enquist dated at Mani.
la June 5th. describing that portion Of
the battle of the Sea OF Japan on May
9th which took place between Tsu is
land and Kotsu island Admiral En-
Quist says.
There was clear sky. with fresh
south wind and a very foggy horizon.
A japanese squadron appeared at las
p. m. to the north and engaged us In
tactical conflict, not permitting us to
pass them in the direction Of Vladi-
vostok. Every time our squadron turn
ed toward the north the superior speed
Of the Japanese enabled them to out
strip us. while at the same time they
concentrated their fire on our leading
battleships. The japanese squadron
consisted Of nine battleships and cruis-
ers. and the Japanese battleship Chin
yet unanswered separately, trying to
take our ships between two fires.
These tactics continued through
out the battle and greatly hampered
our transports. ." ..
Fifty minutes AFTER the opening Of
the battle our battleship Oslabya was
sunk and the battleship Borodino was
disabled. Soon afterward the battle
ship Kniaz SouvarofY was on FIRE. los
ing her masts and tunnels and be-
coming disabled.
Our squadron turned to protect the
Kniaz Souvaron. but the Borodino
resumed her place in the column.
which was now headed by the battle
ship Alexander Ill.
"The Japanese tactics compelled our
squadron to move In a circle around
the transports and torpedo boats, while
, the Japanese moved in an exterior cir
Gle. Owing to the inferior speed OF
cur vessels. 1t was difficult to escape
this position. but before sunset our
squadron resumed its voyage to the
northward.
AT this time one Of our torpedo
boats near the Kniaz Souvaroff hoist
ed a signal that the command had
been transferred to Rear-Admiral Ne
bogatoff. The Alexander III then left
the column severely damaged.
"The Borodino, which was then at
the head Of the column. received the
enemy's concentrated fire, and at sun
set, after firing her last shot, sank.
"Perceiving the number Of japanese
torpedo boats engaged in the action,
