ATTACK POLL TAX LAW.
COnstltutiOnality of the Washington
Law is Questioned.

The validity of the annual poll tax
of So for road purposes imposed by
state law upon residents of the coun-
try districts was attacked Saturday at
Seattle by a demurrer served upon
Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh by
John w. Roberts, as attorney for w.
$. Danner. says Walla Walla dis
patch.
The case is a test case and was in
stituted by the county commissioners
for the purpose Of establishing the
status of the law. This action was
taken in recognition of the fact that
doubts of the constitutionality of the
statute were general, rendering work
of the collectors unduly difficult and
bringing the cost of the collections
nearly up to the value of the returns.
The statute is attacked upon the
ground that it is class legislation, as
1t imposes the tax only upon men be-
tween the ages of 81 and so. A case
from jefferson county decided by the
supreme court is claimed as authority
for believing that the law can be sue
cessfully attacked.
In this instance 1t was an ordinance
and not an act Of the Legislature. that
was overthrown, and an additional eX-
ception was made of firemen, but the
defendant in the present suit claims
that the principle in the two cases Is
the same.

MAY CANoNIzE COLUMBUS.
Possible That 1t May BE Accomplished
Next Year.

Rome, Nov. 2O.-The matter of the
canonization Of Christopher Columbus
which has been under consideration
in the congregation of rites for some
time, will be given new impetus by
the express order OF Plus X. Next
May the fourth centennial Of the
death of Columbus will be celebrated
under Spanish initiative, and 1t is
considered desirable at the Vatican
that his canonization shall be coinci-
dent with the anniversary.
Thousands of bishops from all over
the world have petitioned the vatican
to have the canonization of Columbus
considered by the congregation of
rites. A work published under Plus
TX, designed to prove that Columbus
was the father of an illegitimate son,
caused a temporary stay Of the cause
of canonization, but It was resumed
under the late pope Plus X, soon
after his election, received q memorial
from many Italian bishops, headed by
the Archbishop of Turin asking for q
new consideration of the case. and the
pope has now given orders that def
mite decision must soon be reached

ENG|NEERSAREGL
FIGHT WITH BURL1NGroNAs
WON AFTER 20 YEARS.
At Time of 20" Strike in 1885 the o.
II. s N. Was Supplied With al Ex-
cellent Force of Engineers Who
Came West-Since That Time Many
of These Men Have Died and Moved
on-Many Still Remain In the EN-
ploy of the o. II. & N.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers has won one of the nlost
lengthy, persistent stubborn fights
ever conducted by that organ zatlon,
in securing an agreement with the
Burlington road to sign schedules with
the engineers hereafter.
At the time of the Burlington, or
"a" strike as 1t was called, traffic
was demoralized on every road con-
the Burlington, and hundre Is Of en-
gineers and firemen came west ltav
ing that system in the hands of raw,
inexperienced and incompetent men,
with the result that it was five years
in organizing its forces and getting
traffic on a paying basis aftef the
strike.
Engines were left standing on the
road, at sidetracks, stations, anG in
round houses when the order came to
strike in 1885, and the engineers be-
ing thoroughly organized the company
could scarcely move a wheel, so COM
plete was the tie-up.
The engineers had exhausted every
possible peaceable method and when
the company finally threw down the
gauntlet to them they declaced the
strike and made it the bitterest in the
history of railroading.
The o. r. & n. got an excellent sup
ply of capable and efficient engineers
from the 20" at the time of the strike
among them being the following OF
| the La Grande division: ]. H. Hooker,
T. F. Patty and 1. A. MaYfield, all now
| deceased; F. r. Swaney, who ran q
/ helper at Kamela until 1900, when he
/ resigned and is now coduncting a cigar
store in La Grande; j. II. Aikine, who
/ lost an arm at La Grande four year:
/ ago and is now o. r. & n. night fore
man at that place; John Van Fleet
who lost an eye and is now running q
mine engine in the Sumpter district
George Hansen. who is now on the
Kamela helper; Henry Henson, Johr
Gardner and Louis Givan, now on the
passenger run between La Grande anC
/ Huntington; besides several Others
who worked for few years and ther
moved on to other roads.
All these old employees of the 20
are we'll known in Pendleton and ar,
among the finest enginemen in tn
west. They remained loyal to tn
brotherhood and left their position
instantly when the strike order wa
given and have watched the lon
, fight with deep interest This victor
is at last enjoyed with keen delight b
them. They were all young men whe
on the 20" many of them havin
joined the brotherhood while workin
on that road just prior 10 the strike.

FISH PIRACY IN SIBERIA.
Terrible Ravages of Chinese Pirates
on North Coast

Fish piracy is the latest phase of
trouble experienced by fishermen off
the coast OF Siberia, according to re-
ports received in Seattle by the steam
er Corwin, which arrived here from
Nome Saturday, says the Seattle Star.
Indians living on the Siberian coast
who exist by means of fishing and
hunting tell of terrible experiences at
the hands of Chinese coolies who raw
age the coast, feed the Indians whis-
key and then steal the fish. The fish
are then taken to Japan or China and
sold.
In order to stop this, three Indians
travelled all the way from Siberia to
Cape Nome, where they told their
story to miners, who have arrived on
the Corwin.
The Indians, or Esquimos, say that
the method of the pirates is to ship a
sloop equipped with several small
boats. These boats cruise along the
coast in search of Esquimos who fish
for salmon. once found the Indians
are spotted until they have secured a
good catch.
They are then approached by the
pirates, who give them booze" When
the natives become hopelessly drunk
the pirates rob them of their fish, take
it back to the vicinity of the schooner.
where they are picked up, after which
they cruise about in other localities.
When all the boats return with their
plunder the schooner makes sail. II
she has sufficient load she returns
to China or Japan. If not she cruises
along the coast for so or 100 miles,
where the same tactics are employed
Finally several Esqufmos, after
failing to secure help from the ST.
berian side, decided to put across the
water Forty days across the wind
swept waters of Bering sea Indian:
sailed and padded their canoe. After
much hardship and suffering they
reached a point north of Nome.
| The natives also state that the los:
of their fish is not the worst phase ot
the trouble. Fierce quarrels ant
fights result when the savages become
intoxicated, and several have been Gu
and slashed in a terrible manner anC
often barely escape with their lives.

ALFALFA In TEXAS.
Agricultural Writer Booms the Lone
... Star State.

A writer in the Agricultural Eplto-
mist, speaking of alfalfa growing In
eastern Texas, says:
Every agriculturist Is aware of the
important fact that grasses and for
age plants constitute the foundation
of agricultural prosperity and pro-
gress This is but the reinstatement
of fact we'll known in every civilized
country for centuries. The value of
grasses and forage plants becomes of
vital importance as population In
creases and open ranges decrease.
The leading forage plant of the
southwest, alfalfa, Is the one OF the
greatest value as hay crop from
which from four to six cuttings dur
ing the summer can be had and which
affords excellent pasturage during the
fall and winter. This plant has great
additional value as a soil renovator
and enricher. 1t is rich in nitrogen,
has a fair percentage of phosphoric
acid and a good percentage of potash.
the three elements of complete fer
| tilizer.
| East Texas is ideal for the growth
of this crop. The California colony,
located at Lufkin, Angelina county.
Texas, planted an area of alfalfa
year ago in May. The land, three or
four years in sod, was plowed, har-
rowed and prepared under the Cali
fornia cultural system. In 81 days
from planting of the seed the alfalfa
had attained a growth of 81 inches
high in blossom, ready for cutting.
In view of the fact that east Texas
is one of the very best dairy sections
, in the United States, by reason of the
, numerous grasses and forage plants
that can be so profltably grown Is 6
, very important fact to every farmer
! and dairyman who desires home II
