TIME TO BUY.

Very often the lady of the house realizes that for years she has been without some article of furniture, or kitchen utensil that might be had for a few cents. All this in a spirit of economy, yet the purchase of the article now will afford pleasure to the housewife every day in the year.
 That's what we call poor economy. We carry a full line of pots, kettles and pans, and furniture of every des. cristion, just what you have been want ing so long, and the price is low. You need the thing now-Now is the time to buy. JOHN FEUSI,
 Front St. Douglas.

Considerable worry has been caused by the continued absence of Harry Slater, John Gordon, Bert Webster and Mccormick, who left Douglas nearly five weeks ago, on a hunting trip, expecting to return in two weeks. They went to Oliver inlet on Admiralty Island. in a small fishing boat. For days the Taku has been too rough to cross iu a small boat, but the members of the party are experienced boatmen and too we'll acquainted with the tricks of the Taku to take any chances. Not withstanding all this, their friends are becoming anxious about them and un- less they show up very soon a search party will go out after them.

A pipe line when exposed on the sur face, whether for conveying water, air, oil or other substances, should be pro- vided with slip joints in a country where there is a wide range of tempera, ture. Neglect to provide these neces- sary devices may result in the break age of the line. Air lines are more sub ject to expansion than lines carrying liquids. Pipe lines laid on steep hill sides should be carefully anchored with iron rods, ropes or chains.

THE EAGLES SOCIAL.

On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 5, from 3 to 6, the Douglas Aerie No. IT, Frater- nal Order of Eagles, and large num- Der of invited guests, celebrated the anniversary of the institution of the order. The main floor of the Douglas Palm Garden, which was generously donated for the event by Martin Olson, was provided with four long tables, heaped with good things to eat and drink. Around these tables sat the company; and while the eating and drinking was going on the Eagle Or chestra discoursed sweet music, and talented performers occupied the stage.
 Mir. Elmer E. Smith, District Deputy Grand President, told the gathered assembly of the inception, growth and purpose of the Order, and explained the meaning of it's motto: "Liberty, Truth, Justice and Equality"
 Judge M. J. O'Connor, on behalf of the guests, thanked the lodge for the opportunity given to enjoy with them the entertainment, and spoke of the good work being done by the Eagles in this city.
 Worthy President Mcdonald arose with the re mark that the gentlemen who preceded him had talked until they were tired, but said that he in- tended to talk until they were all tired. He then told funny stories one after the other in such a happy manner that every body laughed until they were tired; he kept his word.
 Then followed the Eagle Song" by Mir. F. c. Stedman; everybody joining in the chorus, "The Eagles are all right" Prof. LaFranz, light and heavyweight balancing; Weston and Beasley, in the act, "O'Donovan Dunn, M. P."; the Everett Sisters; the "Chapmaus"; trombone solo, by Mr. Fred Wasterlain; and the moving pictures "A Trip to Fairyland," and then everybody was surprised to learn that it was 6 o'clock. In the enjoy ment of the numbers the time had passed all toorapidly.
 The members of the order who work ed so hard to make the entertainment a success are to be congratulated; it was a success in the full measure of the term.
 Tbe Eagle lodge in Douglas has come up through great tribulations, it has had to bear the burden of criticisms, often harsh and unjust, always unkind. Its members, however, have never faltered, and often when the self-right eous ones have been hurling their ar rows of scorn and hatred, the Eagles were feeding the orphans and the fatherless, that their proud defamers had passed by unheeding. And they have done this, too, with no flourish of trumpets that their good deeds might be known; but with modest mien, ,and "let not their right hand know what their left hand doeth."
 So much for so much. Honor to whom honor is due.

sion power to fix rates substantially in the following terms:
 Whenever any rate, fare or charge fixed by any common carrier, for any service, shall be unreasonable or un- justly discriminatory or otherwise in violation of any provision of the act approved February 4. 1887. entitled An act to regulate commerce. or any act amendatory thereof. the Interstate Commerce Commission shall have pow CT, after investigating the facts and hearing the parties affected, to make an order modifying such rate, fare or charge so far as may be necessary in order to remove the unreasonableness. unjust discrimination or other illegal ity thereof, and such order shall take effect at the expiration of such time as the Commission shall prescribe, not less than - days after publication thereof

COMMENT OF ELKINS
DISCUSSES THE PRESIDENTS RAIL-
 ROAD PROGRAM.
Chairman of the Senate Committee Says 1t is Not MT. ROosevelt's
 Idea to Have Arbitrary LegfsIatfOn.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Senator Elkins chairman of the Committee on Inter- state Commerce, after reading the Presidents message today. made the following statement regarding railroad rate legislation:
 "As I understand it, the President does not desire to vest in the Commis- sion arbitrary and uncontrolled power to fix rates. He has repeatedly stated that the action of the Commission in fixing a rate should be subject to re- view by the courts and that the rail road companies should be furnished legal protection against any injustice That being the case, law giving tc the Commission power to fix rates should not be drawn in such manner as to give the Commission purely leg islative discretion in fixing rates.
 Tt should give to the Commission power to change an exporting rate only if the existing rate be unreasonable or otherwise in violation of the interstate commerce acts, and it should give to the Commission power to change a rate that Is unreasonable or otherwise un- lawful only to the extent that such change may be necessary, in order to remove the unreasonableness or other irregularity of the rate. In other words. 1t should only give to the Com- mission power to reduce a rate to the maximum that would be reasonable and lawful if originally imposed by the railroad company. A statute can be drawn to effect this result.
 If those who advocate vesting in the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to fix rates are in good faith seeking to carry out the policy of the President, they should be willing to accept statute giving to the Commis-

Department of Justices Statement
 About Indian Case.
 Washington, Dec. 5.-The following statement was given out at the depart ment of Justice today:
 Last summer the members of the law firm of Mansfield. eMcMurray and Cornish. Governor Johnson and ex- Governor Mosely. of the Chickasaw Tribe of Indians. were indicted for con- spiracy to embezzle funds of the tribe. No accusation or prior investigation led up to this indictment. but matters submitted to the grand jury concerning payments of large sums to the attor- neys and warrant issued to Governor Iohnson seemed to indicate the sup posed conspiracy.
 The whole matter could have been explained by presenting the books and accounts and checks of the firm. but NKas not explained in any way to the grand jury. The request of these at tnrneys to the president to have the matter examined was deemed reason able, especially as it was mere mat ter of accounting.
 K "A first examination was made by Assistant Attorney General Russell who was fully convinced of the inno- cence of all accused. It was then ex- amined into by the attorney general

 Letter of President.
 The Presidents letter follows: November 28, 1905. My Dear Colonel Harvey:-I wish il
 were in my power to be at the dinner held to celebrate the seventieth birth. day of Mark Twain. It Is difficult tc
 write of him by his real name instead of that name which has become g household word wherever the English language Is spoken. He is one of the citizens who all Americans should de. light to, honor, for he has rendered 6 great and peculiar service to Americs and his writings. though such as nc one but an American could write, yet emphatically come within that smal | list which are written for no particular country but for all countries and whicf are not merely written for the time but have an abiding and permanent value. May he live long and year b, year may be add to the sum of suct admirable work that he has done. | Sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt. | When Mark Twain arose to speak | he could not proceed for several min l utes on account of the cheers that | were given in greeting. He said: Speech of Twain.
 The 7Oth birthday. It IS the time
 Of life when you arrive at a new and awful dignity; when you may throw aside the decent reserves which have oppressed you for a generation and | stand unaffected and unabashed, on your n-terraced summit and look down and teach-unrebuked.
 You can tell the world how you got there. It is what they all do. You
 shall never get tired of telling by what
 delicate arts and deep moralities you climbed up to that great place. You | will explain the process and dwell on | the particulars with senile rapture
 I have been anxious to explain my own
 system this long time and now at last I have the right.
 T have achieved my seventy years in
 the usual way-by sticking strictly to
