DIES IN HIS CHAIR.

Kinney Matheson, a millman
from Sunnyside mill at Thunder
Mountain, expired in a chair in a
reading room of the Pacific hotel
shortly before 8 o'clock, on Fri
day evening. He had just been
assisted into the hotel from the
Pearl stage. He had been sick
for about two months before
leaving Roosevelt. His death is
is ascribed to dropsy and heart
trouble, the fatal result probab-
ly having been hastened by the
rigors of the trip from the gold
camp.
He was about so years old, had
been working at the Sunnyside
mill and when it closed down a
few days ago he, in company
with other miners from Roose-
velt, including Joe Fitzgerald,
/ G. A. Griffith and Herman Will
man, started for Boise to spend
the winter. He had been i'll for
many weeks but this did not de-
ter him from making the trip.
/ "Only twice on the way down
did 1 hear complaint from the
old mans lips, "said Mr.. Griffith,
who travelled most of the dis
tance in his company and who
slept with him at some of the
way stations. Once he woke
in the night and complained of
pain around his heart. I fixed
up a porous plaster for him
which seemed to give relief.
Then at Sweet he declared he
could stand our wagon no long
that he felt as though he
would be carried in on a stretch
er when he reached Boise if he
continued in the rough, jolting
conveyance.
At one time, near Klondike,
the sled on which he was riding
was overturned, throwing the
old man in snowdrift, with the
bedding piled on top of him. He
was buried completely out of
, sight in the snow, but even then
he did not complain"
While the rest of the party
reached Boise Thursday eve
, ming, Matheson changed to the
! stage at Sweet and laid over at
, Pearl, not reaching Boise until
7:30 Friday evening. He was
. unable to get off the stage un-
0 assisted and bystanders helped
! him into the hotel and to a seat
n in the corner of the reading
. room adjoining the Office.
Perhaps five minutes later w.
Frame noticed that the stranger
e had assumed a peculiar appear

man was dead, and Clark Motif

The intimatioa from Washington that the administration intends shortly to take vigorous measures "to insure re- spect for American interests not only in Venezuela, but in other South Amer lean republics" leads the Dallas News Dem.) to say pertinently: "The policy of the present administration. with It's ministers treading ol dangerous ground and It's steamy warriors at the top, has led almost every ono of the Spanish republics to boycott our trade and to regard US as interruptions enc mics. The prepOsterous interpretation of the Monroe doctrine and the mis- treatment of Colombia have cost us h possible and prospective profits prob ably ten times as much as we would have had to pay for a lawful deed to the right of way"

LITIGATION IS BEGUN OVER
 VAST DOMAIN
Ii Involves Nearly SO,OOO
 Acres of Grazing Land

El Paso. Aug. 22.-Owing to the pending sale of millions of acres Of state lands formerly leased out for grazing purposes. a suit filed yes terday in the district court is of special and timely interest.
 The action embodies an example of the immense tracts of land that have been leased to the cattlemen of the state, and which are now be- ing placed on the market fer the ex- elusive benefit of actual settlers.
 The legal proceedings referred to embraces over T9, 9,690 acres of leased territory, chiefly located in Taylor county, Texas.
 There are 112 district pieces of leased land involved in the litigation, and in many instances the parcels described by metes and bounds in clude from ten to twenty acres over and above a section.
 The suit has been transferred to Fl Paso county by special order Of court owing to the "condlions of facts" in Taylor county.
 The proceedings have been insti- tuted by J. H. Parromore. the re- ceiyer of the noted Dougherty Cattle company of Abilene, Texas.
 In his petition the plaintiff alleges that Mat Dougherty, the president of the above company, holds lease on the property which it is asked that he be compelled to transfer to the receiver.
 The ground of action is that it is claimed that the leases were really taken for fha avcIusfva baue eft of in a said company. and that the defend ant has no personal claim to same. The most of the leases were executed last February by the state land com missioner at Austin.
 John l.. Dyer appears as the peti. tioner's attorney.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-08-23

A great many people think that 1t is Impossible for congress to control the railroads without owning them-that is 10 say, the railroads are above all law ani can plunder shippers and the pub lie at will because the railroads are or l par with other corporations that manufacture and sell their products for all they can get fer them and no law can stop them. Now a railroad corporation Is quite different from an industrial corporation. as the state im- parts to the railroad corporation the highest privilege of her sovereignty the right of eminent domain. This right to acquire the property of the cit zen in spite of his objection by paying it's value has imparted to tue railroads | semipublic character. and nearly ev- cry state has hedged them about with Tecial laws for their protection and the protection of the public, and sev- eral states have appointed commissions 70 supervise them and fix the maxi rium rates which they may charge. The courts have decided that the states and the United States have the power to thus pass laws to control the rail roads.
 The railroads are q monopoly, they have no competitor for their local busi- neSs. the people living on the line of road are compelled to use 1t for the transportation of the products of their farms, their mines and of manufactur- cd products. Their imports must come over the same line, and 1t is onl. where two or Elore railroads reach an given point that there is any possibili ty of competition Under the railroad consultations that have taken place il the past few years this competition ha been eliminated ln nearly every case and the public are now at the merc3 of tle great Waf street capitalist anC speculators who control the railroads and we have tic authority of @ great railroad president that nine men hold absolute sway. To say that the people through their state and national gov ernInents cannot protect themselves from fhe rapacity Of these multimil- llonaires would be to acknowledge that popular government Is q failure The only question to settle is to whom shall the right be given to fix the max imum rates the great railroad eombina- lions shall charge and the honesty and ability the interstate commerce com mission has shown points to it as emil nently fitted for such task.
 President Roosevelt has given in to the element Of his party that train with the railroads by pOstponing the time to call congress together to con sider the railroad rate question. Be fore congress adjourned last spring. when the president found he could not get the Republican leaders of the sen ate to consider the rate fixing bill. he was strenuously talking of an extra session forthwith. but the railroad in- huence prevailed. and the calling of
