EASTERN Washington rejoices at
the signal victory of our friends in
the legislature, and the crushing
defeat met by the railroad lobby.
The commission bill as passed is as
strong and virile as its friends
would have it, and proves that the
legislature and not the lobby is the
law-making body in this state.
Gov. Mead has at all times de-

such as this, and should be given
due credit for his efforts to this end.

RAILROAD WORLD.

stuyvesant Fish, President of the ILL
nois Central, has this to say OF his late
trip through the South as far as New
Orleans:
Judging from what we saw, that Sec
ton Is now entering upon the era OF its
greatest prosperity. Our lines expect the
business to increase greatly within the
next six months. The crops have been
unusually large throughout the entire
South, and this, accompanied by the won
derful cotton crop, will give all the
southern roads all that they can do for
several months to come.
1T look upon New Orleans as one of
the great grain exporting ports OF the
country in the future, and believe that
the increase IN this class of business
during the coming year will be phenom-
email. Whit the unexcelled shipping facil-
tiles which that city now has and the
additions which are now being made
and will be during the next two years.
It will be difficult for any of the other
ports to compete with 1t for this grain
business.
New Orleans is nearer to the great
grain-producing sections, and the railroad
facilities are such that grain can be
taken there for export much cheaper and
more quickly than to the Atlantic sea-
board. 1t is In order to handle this In
crease in the grain business, which we
anticipate, that we are making improve
ments in the elevators there, and ex-
pect to do more as the demands Of bus
mess increase
Naturally. we expect the building OF
the Panama Canal to have much to do
with increasing our business there. New
Orleans is already beginning to benefit
by the building of the canal, and as the
work progresses she should get more and
more os This business. The business men
are interested In securing an Oriental
steamship line from New Orleans to Ja-
pan. The project should succeed, for
can see no reason why such line as
that should not have all the business
which it will be able to handle"

Although 1t had been whispered in city
that legal proceedings would be insti-

to return to the city alleged excess sal
airy, the Griffin petition filed Saturday
caused a general surprise.
The suit, which was in the form of an
injunction, filed In the city court by
George Griffin, seeks an order requiring
Mayor Drennen to pay back to the city
the sum of $1555.10, which the petitioner
claims has been paid the respondent in
excess. The petition sets forth the con-
situations fixing the salary of Mayors of
cities in the State with a population of
49, 900 at a maximum of $500 per an
num- while Mayor Drennen has been re-
ceiving $4,000 per annum until 1906, hence
the alleged excess.

homes shall fringe the mountain side and
when great enterprises shall grow and
flourish along the valley. But to do this
each one must feel that this inheritance
has been put here by God, not to enrich
individuals alone, but for the building
of better humanity.
We have had much to contend with in
the past, owing to the newness of our
municipality and the struggle for start
in life. 1t was necessary once to put the
jail where 1t now is, but people have
