Roosevel.'s Famous Denver Speech.


The reason President Roosevelts
Denver speech demanding rate-making
power for the Interstate Commerce
Commission was widely quoted and
commented upon was not because 1t
was "A new doctrine. for he demanded
the same thing in his message to Con-
gress on December 9Th last: but be-
cause OF the antagonistic attitude of
the United States Senate. The House
passed the Esch- Townsend bill along
the lines suggested by the President.
but the railroad influence in the Sem
ate was strong enough to hold up the
bill.
Instead OF passing 1t, the Senate de-
cided to further investigate the ques-
ton and is now taking evidence from
railways and shippers at Washington.
Chairman Elkips and other members
of the committee have plainly shown
that they are opposed to giving the
rate-making power to the Commission.
This means u hard fight on the part of
the President and his supporters to
overcome the objections OF the Senate.
Public sentiment is overwhelmlngly
with the President and will surely
force the Senate to act favorably upon
this question.

The Enterprise Closes the EighteeEt.
Year.

With this issue the Enterprise closes
its eighteenth year and review OF the
past will be OF some local historical val
ue. The paper was started June 2nd.
1887 by Harry v. Alexander. In the
first issue we find an article stating that
at the sale Of lots by the Rocky Ford
Town Co. April 18th Of that year that
100000 worth OF lots were sold in one
day.
That Mr. Alexander was a genuine
,omer is proven by the following head

Made Him Walk.

One day last week the passengers on
the morning train going to Spokane
were given little entertainment not
on the company's time tables. A
hobo who had been riding the blind
baggage up the hill had been put off
several times and the conductor and
crew were getting pretty near the end
of their patience when the train pulled
into Joel. Once more he was put off
only to get back on as soon as the train
started, swearing he would ride to
Spokane if he had to lick the whole
train crew. The conductor stopped
his train, instructing the brakeman to
go ahead and put the fellow off and see
that he stay putt. While this isn't
just according to official Instructions,
when the N. P officials find out how
very effectual the plan worked it will
probably get out new set of rules.
Well, the brakeman went after the
hobo, who by the way was much
bigger man, and while the passengers
and crew looked on, proceeded to en-
force orders. And from what one O.
the passengers who was on the train
said afterwards, that hobo will not be
able to see train for some time t
come, and will then probably first in
quire the name of the brakeman on The
train. He'll not tackle at least one o
the old passenger trains that is now do
ing business on this particular brancl
of the N. P. road.

Closed Them Up.

Shortly after Charley Munson was
appointed State Land Commissioner
he had an occasion to visit certain
small town on the reservation above
Lewiston. While Mr.. Munson is
pretty well known over the state there
happened to be only one man in this
particular town that was aquainted
with him, and as Charley arrived rather
late and left pretty early the following
morning with saddle horse
for short ride into the country to see
a pa ty his friend dihn't see him.
Other people did and the word was
quickly passed around that govern
ment revenue inspector was in town
looking after booze peddlers. It
happened that there were several places
in the town where soft drinks were
and are supplied to the thirsty public
and it wasn't minute till blank was
the driest town in the whole state Of
Idaho. When Munson rode into town
few hours later he was recognised by
his friend who said; By gosh, the
boys took you for a government spottel
and nobody has been able to get a
drink since you left town this morning.

Fine Oats.

If there is a place on earth that can
beat this particular section when it
comes to raising fine oats we would
like to know where it is, and to carry
off the honors we will first want to see
the oats. Tuesday A. V. Sjolander,
who owns farm two miles west of
town, brought in sample that are the
finest we have ever seen. Mr.. Sjolan-
der desires to send few to the Port
land exposition and we have informed
Mr.. Vessels. The oats left at The
News Office have been shown to local
grain men and all agree they never
saw better ones. 1t will be remem-
bered that oats raised on the o. A.
Johnson farm at the edge of Troy
took prize at St. Louis and it is a
good guess that. another blue ribbon
will come this way when the Sjolander
oats are heard from at Portland.

Letter From the North.
Dawson, Y. T., Canada.
Apr. ID, 1905.

Editor Troy News;-It may interest
some Of the readers of the News to hear
from the extreme north of British Alaska
and believing that to be fact will sit
down and toss off few lines. AS the
readers already know J. P. Sahlin and
Fred Portfors landed at White Horse
March 27, and we joined forces and
struck out for Dawson afoot, distance
of $50 miles over the trail. We bought
Yukon sled and loaded it down with
grub, blankets and clothes to the tune
of $50 pounds, but we soon found out
that we had more of load than we could
handle over the trail as the snow was
fast disappearing, and the ground was
laid bare in many places, principally
uphill. We started in the second day
to get rid of some Of our load, so we
scattered our things right and left along
the trail and kept that up until we had
covered 139 miles from White Horse.
Then the snow was gone entirely for a
long distance, so we had to give up
everything we had left. After that we
were entirely dependent on the road
houses for meals and beds and that is
rather expensive in this part Of the
world-$1.5O for a meal and $1.50 for
bunk to sleep in. We started on our
journey on the 3Oth Of March and got
to Dawson on the 18th Of April 1t
was a long and tiresome trip and I will
say right now that 1 will never make a
similar trip afoot again for love or money
as don't think I could stand it. I
endured more hardship during that
long mush, (walk) than ever expert
enced in my life before. We saw some
respectable dumps of pay dirt coming
down by Eldorado and Bonanza creeks
ready for sluicing as soon as there will
be enough water. Dawson is a very
good sized town about l IA miles
long, with seven avenues, but there
are many vacant business places and
houses owing to the fact that so many
people left here last season for Fair
banks at Tanana, Alaska and the re-
ports from the Tanana gold fields are
good and I think it will be big rusf
to that place when this season opens

We Know Him.

The following interesting item appear
ed in the Pullman Herald; Rev"
David Swackhammer, the negro who
has been passing as an evangelist, left
for greener fields Monday, his departure
being fastened by irate citizens who
told him that Pullman had no room for
him. His sending forth was brought
about by the statement Of a young
woman who lives near town that the
negro had insulted her and attempted
an assault while she was going along
the railroad track to her home a short
distance in the country, and Swack-
hammer, to save good tar and feathers,
did not wait for second invitation to
go. It will probably be some time be
fore this son Of Ham feels "call' tc
labor again in the Pullman vineyard.

or navigation, which will be about the
middle of May. We came here too
early to get work as it looks now it will
be two or three weeks yet before they
start in to sluicing. We have rented a
cabin and are patching so the expense
is not so high for us while we are wait
ing to get work. The wages for labor
here at the mines is "a per day and
board. We met an old Vollmerite and
friend OF ours the first evening we came
to Dawson, Oscar Fogelstrom, and we
had very good time together for two
days, after which he left for his claim
on Goldbottom. 20 miles up the Klon-
dyke. We have had very nice and
warm weather in the daytime but very
frosty at nights, and the snow is disap-
pearing fast on the sunny side OF the
hills but on the northern slopes the
white sheet is laying intact. Well this
is early in the season in this country.
I shall now close. You may hear from
me again

School Trustees Meet.

The school trustees held a meeting
during the week and re-employed all the
old teachers for another term, with the
exception of Miss Alta Cole, whose
health may not permit of her accepting
work next year. The board is well
satisfied with Miss Cole as teacher
and have decided to hold her position
for her if she wants it. 1t was the
opinion that another teacher would
have to be employed but no definite
action was taken. 1t is probable that
more room will have to be added.
