many others freely expressed con victions that of regarding no time like the present for work, may yet decide that an extra session of congress in the spring for legislating on the rail way rate question will be advisable. The general impression has been that extra session would not be called before the early autumn, but no one realizes more keenly than the president how insistent the country has become in it's demand that something should be done, and quickly, in the matter If the extra session is postponed until fall the result will be more killing of time, and possible postponement of action for another year.

Agricultural interests absorbed the senate Thursday and for once the farmer was the man of the hour For almost an entire afternoon the senate was engaged in discussion of the policy of distributing ordinary farm and garden seeds from the Agricul- tural department through members of congress. Mir. Lodge and those with him in the debate on the subject stated that the seeds sent out were the common varieties to be bought of dealers every where and urged that only rare varieties should be supplied free to the people. He criticized the appro- priation of s24O, 900 for supplying seeds which were of the cheapest and commonest varieties. He character ized the whole scheme as a humbug and added, year after year We are appropriating the peoples money for the purpose of making gifts to our constituents. It is pleasant thing to do, we all like to do it but we should not forget that we are making the country pay for it"

Councilman Ruiz, of Apache county, has introduced bill for the repeal of the Ranger Law, and Mir. Patterson of Apache has introduced a similar bill in the house. There has been no time since the passage of the Ranger Law when it has been of any practical benefit to the northern counties of Arizona. The sheriffs of these counties have at all times been able to enforce the law without the aid of the rangers. In other counties the sheriffs have been grateful for the aid given by the special police force" Whether the rangers have been of enough benefit to offset the expense of maintaining the organization has not been shown. The governor recommended the con tinuance of the rangers and the cat tlemen are especially anxious to see the law stand. While the majority of the taxpayers desire the repeal of the law, regarding it as an useless ex- pense for the benefits of ihe few, it is now up to the legislature to decide whether the law shall stand, regard less of the cost of maintaining the ranger force, or whether it shall be repealed in the interest of the major portion of the taxpayers.

It is probably surprise to most people to learn that more than half of the countries below Mason and Dixon's line prohibit the sale of li- quor. For instance, almost sixty per cent. of Texas, nearly eighty per cent. of Georgia, ninety per cent. of Missi- ssippi and all of Tennessee except eight cities have voted out the saloon while even in Kentucky forty-seven countries are under prohibition rule. The student oi affairs can find food for thought in these facts.

The senate has passed the amended bill admitting New Mexico to state hood, and yet some of the people re- gret that the joint statehood bill did not pass The reason given therefor being that with joint statehood the American population of the two terri tories would control public affairs, while with single statehood New Mex ico will have to await an influx of i'm migration from other states to offset the present number of her Spanish speaking population.

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is best accomplished by the free use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This Remedy liquedes the tough mucous and causes it's expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expector- ation, and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows This remedy will cure a severe cold in less time than any other treatment, and it leaves the system in a natural and healthy condition. It counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia. For sale by all druggists.

MAY ABANDON PLAN.
Government Likely to Drop Palouse
irrigation Project.

government Likely TO drop PaiouSe
irrigation Project.
Spokane, WASH, May Sit is re-
ported here from what is thought to be
authentic sources that the government
has decided to abandon the Washing
ton irrigation project in the Palouse
valley for various reasons. In the first
place, there is conflict between the gov
ernment reclamation bureau and the o.
r. & N. over the removal of the tracks
of the road from the bed of the Wash
tucna coulee to a point higher up on
the north bank of what would be the
artificial lake, provided the plans of
the engineers were to be carried out.
The o. R. & N. built the track through
the coulee some years ago to afford
transportation facilities to the farmers
of the district, and last year rehabili-
tated the line and cut it in operation
after an interval of three or four years.
idleness. AS long as this track is
maintained it will be impossible for.
the government to construct its pro-
jected reservoir. A conference has
been held between the government en-
gineers and those of the railroad COM
pany, and it has been estimated that it
would cost more than 100000 to
change the track from the bed of the
coulee to a point along the bank.
This sum, added to the cost of the irri-
cation project, as already planned,
would place such burden upon the
land tributary to the district as to
make the work impracticable at this
time.
While this is the story currently re-
ported, there is said to be another and
more vital condition prevailing. It's
said to have been recently discovered
by the government engineers that the
soil forming the bed and walls of the
coulee is of such nature that it would
be practically impossible to make the
lake hold water. The soil is sandy
loan, through which water percolates
az through a sieve in great many
places, and to build reservoir that
would hold under the immense press
ure natural for such large body Of
water would necessitate the artificial
treatment of the walls and bottom OF
the basin, which is at least Is miles in
length, at cost that could not be con-
sidered by the Reclamation bureau fol
many years to come.

THE CURVED BALL

It La the Atmosphere Which Causes
Its Eccentric Shoots.
Almost any ten-year-old youngster
can curve a ball, even though he does
not know why he can do so except
that the leather must be held in a GER
tain way. Possibly a half dozen OF
the major league twirlers know some
thing about the science of the curve,
but comparatively few understand why
they can produce their Blenders" The
Scientific American gives the follow
ing as the scientific explanation of the
matter:
"The pitcher in the field tells us that
the ball curves because he gives it
twist, but scientifically this viii not
do. Why will the twist make the
curve? If ball were thrown in a GER
tain direction and If the force of gravi-
tation were. not at work the ball would
continue on in straight line forever.
Some force of resistance is then at
work when a ball is made to deviate in
curve from its straight course. If a
feather is dropped in a vacuum in an
exhausted receiver of an air pump it
will drop like shot, but If it is drop
ped out in the air it will 60 down ir-
regularly and slowly, shifting from

1T Is the atmosphere which causes
the ball to curve. Bearing in mind

Troops Are Asked for to Restore
Peace in Chicago.
MAYOR and union OPPOSE MOVE
l eamsters Have Lobby at Capital and
Governor Will Hear Their
Side of Story.

Chicago, May 4. - Rioting in the
streets today was SO prolonged and of
so fierce character that many of the
leading business men have concluded
that there will be neither peace in the
city nor safety for outside interests
until the state militia has been called
out to restore order. A committee of
members of the Employers association
left for Sprinfgeld today to confer with
Governor Deneen and to request him
to give orders to the state troops. The
labor unions have an extensive lobby
at the state capital, and it is likely
that they will also be heard before any
action is taken by the governor.
Chief of Police O'Neil says he is conf
dent that he has control of the situa-
ton, and can keep peace in the city
with the mayors support, who has
done all in his power to adjust the
state of affairs.
Mayor Dunno was emphatic in his
declaration tonight that he will not
acquiesce in any call for outside assist
ance in preserving order, and intimated
that he will strongly oppose any move
to secure armed intervention.
"We have by no means reached the
limit of reserve" the mayor declared
tonight. 81 am empowered to call on
every able bodied citizen over the age
of Is years. Of course, could not call
on the striker or the strike-breake1
or their sympathizers, but would
have to draw upon the citizens of good
character from the general public"
Despite the order of Mayor Dunno an
the prohibition of the city council
many of the wagons of the concerns
against which strikes were declared
were handled today by men armed
with rifles and shotguns.

RISKS LIFE TO SAVE GOOSE.
Man Lowered Down an Old Mine
Shaft 100 Feet Deep.

Man Lowered Down an Old Mine
Shaft 100 Feet Deep.
From Oxford, Warren county, N. j.,
comes the story of Lewis Albert, an
engineer at the mines, says the New
York Herald, who, for the sake of a
goose's life, risked his own for fully
forty minutes on Friday in a daring
and sensational manner.
The goose got over the fence of its
coop, tapped its wings, flew over the
opening of the shaft, whlcn is 700 feet
deep, fell into the black hole and dis
appeared.
On the following day persons pass
ing the shaft heard sepulchral cries
proceeding from some subterraneous
source. Kemple heard sounds and
learned of the goose's plight.
The old hoisting apparatus was ex-
amfned and found to be useless and
the problem arose as to how the bird
was to be rescued. One man lowered
a hook and line, to which was at
tached a worm, but the goose would
not bite.
Then Albert took a long rope and,
selecting a group Of miners, he bade
them lower him into the mine
Albert got down about 200 feet and
a minute later there was fierce honk-
ing, followed by signal to pull up
quickly. Albert soon appeared with
the struggling bird in his arms.

FIGHTING ON STREETS.
Death and Broken Bones Outcome of
Chicago Strike.

Chicago, May 3.-The death of one
man and the injury of scores of others
were the immediate result of today's
fighting between the striking teamsters
and their sympathizers on the one side
and the police and the nonunion men
on the other. There were riots in all
parts of the city Men were dubbed
and stoned almost to death within a
square of police headquarters and five
miles away men were shot down in the
streets. At hundred places between
these two extremes there were assaults
and fights in the streets. Blood was
shed on State street, in the heart OF the
fashionable shopping district, and furi-
GUS riots took place almost in the door
ways of the leading hotels. Nonunion
men were pelted with stones, bricks
and every conceivable sort of missiles.
They were dragged from their wagons,
beaten, dubbed and stamped upon.
The mobs that followed the wagons on
which they rode were ugly in the ex-
treme.

TwlNE TRUST DECLARES WAR.
Attempts to Take Away Trade of lhe
Coast Manufacturers.

San Francisco, May 6.-The Call to-
morrow will say:
A great fight is on for the market for
binding twine on the Pacific coast. On
one side are arrayed the Portland Cord
age company and the Tubbs Cordage
company, of this city, home manufac-
turers of cordage and twine. On the
other side are the International Har-
vester company and its leading agen-
cies on the Pacific coast, the trouble all
coming from an attempt, as reported,
on the part of the International Har-
vester company to take away the trade
completely from the Tubbs Cordage
company and the Portland Cordage
company.
Deprived of the agencies of the In
ternational Harvester company to mar
ket their goods, the program of the
coast manufacturers is to market on
their own account, through retailers,
through agents of their own employ
and in any other feasible way.

French See France, United States and

Paris, May 4.-The Temps in lead
ing article today discusses Ambassador
McCormick's remarks to President
Loubet yesterday on the presentation
of the formers credentials as being
timely reassurances of the strong rela-
tions uniting the two countries. The
paper says:
"The ambassador referred to the
Franco-American alliance as being
stronger than if inscribed in treaties,
and then by an initiative which is
worthy of emphasis he expressed salts
faction with the Anglo French rap
prochement. 1t is not habitual for
third powers to be mentioned in cere-
monies of this kind, and this makes
the ambassadors allusion to Anglo
French friendship more significant.
The Temps adds that the friendship
thus indicated between France and the
United States and France and Great
Britain, is susceptible of developing
into triple understanding for the ben
eft of the participants and the peace
of the world.
The Journal des Debats also devotes
leading article to Minister McCor-
mack's speech.

The harbor, it appears, Is not whit
less battling in its natural confgura-
ton than is that of Port Arthur Vlad-
ivostok is situated on the gulf of Peter
the Great, an arm of the Japan Sea.
The town Is built on the slopes Of
high ridge forming a tapering penin-
sula into an irregular landlocked bay.
There are two narrow entrances to the
harbor, both danked by highlands
which bristle with batteries and forh-
fications. The entrances are further
guarded by forts erected on an island
at their mouths and innumerable islets
Just outside on which are many de-
fensive works of various kinds. Sur
mounting the crest of the headlands,
which stretch for miles to the east
ward and are known as the Golden
Horn, are continuous chains of earth
works and other defenses. The lofty
hills on the northwest protect the port
from the land side, and in the deep
water of the Golden Horn, which is at
least four miles in length and mile in
width, the largest ships may ride safe
ly at anchor, free from the menace of
attack and beyond the reach of the
weather.
Like Port Arthur, Vladivostok con-
sists of three portions. That nearest
the water is the military town, extend
ing along the harbor and given up al
most exclusively to storehouses, mill
tary quarters and officers residences.
On the extreme north of the harbor
are the official buildings and the pri-
yate dwellings of the government en-
ployes and private citizens. Beyond
and higher still is the arsenal, strong
ly fortified. The population is about
$4,000. excluding the military.
1t is not likely that the town could
be entered by an invading force from
landward without repetition of the
hard fighting that took place at Port
Arthur. The natural disposition of the
hills at the rear of Vladivostok has
made it possible to interpose many
powerful schemes of defense against
the advance Of an enemy, and the Rus
sian engineers have been puzzlins
their brains for forty years to make
approach from the rear practically i'm

Plan for DalIeS. Cello Waterway
Approved.
START. WORK ON UPPER LOCK
Approval of Title to Right of Way by
Attorney General Now OnY
Preliminary Necessary.

Washington, May Reconstruction
of The Dalles-C Cello canal will probab-
ly commence in June. General Mac
kenzie, chief of army engineers, today
approved Major Langftt's plan for
starting work on the upper end. He
also submitted to the attorney general
the title to the right of way which the
state of Oregon has presented to the
government. The abstract of title hav-
ing been previously examined and ap-
proved, it is presumed the title will be
found satisfactory and accepted. The
law authorizing construction Of the
canal stipulates that no work shall be
done until title to the right OF way and
a release from damage has been convey
ed to the United States free of cost.
If the attorney general acts promptly
and accepts title, instructions will be
sent to Major Langfitt to advertise for
bids for the work which he outlines in
his project. In general terms Major
Langfitt g plan conforms to the general
plan laid down by the board which
drew up the canal project. He, how
ever, found it necessary to make an i'm
portant change. The original plan To-

Until bids are received it is mo-

according to the military wiseacres, es-
pecially those who have had the ad-
vantage of actual< observation, Vlad-
ivostok Is strong where Port Arthur
was strong and strong also where that
fortress was weak.
First and of great strategic import
ance is the fact that Vladivostok can
not be invested by hostile force,
either by land or sea, during the long
and pitiless Siberian winter. It is as
safe from all external molestation dur
ing its protracted hibernation as is the
shrew in it's burrow. This natural de-
fense confers impregnability on the
port for several months in every year.
