PRESENT CONGRESS MAY NOT
MAKE APPROPRIATION FOR
CELLO CANAL.
bors Committee Writes to Con-
gresham Williamson.

1t now looks as though the chance
for an appropriation by congress for
the proposed Dalles-C Cello canal at the
present session is decidedly dubious,
and unless the combined efforts of the
representatives from Washington. Ore
gon and Idaho are put to work In
earnest there is quite likelihood that
no appropriation will be made. Chair
man Burton of the rivers and harbors
committee has written to Representa-
tive Williamson of Oregon as follows:
Il am strongly disposed to think we
shall have to omit any appropriation
for The Dalles- Cello canal. The total
cost of the plan would be $500, OOO
and it is useless to begin with a partial
appropriation.
Again there are numerous other
of the Columbia which will require
large appropriations. Would it not be
we'll to try for the time the portage
railway that can be completed at COM
paratively small expense and would
indicate whether traffic from below
the falls would develop in sufficient
amount to make it desirable to canalize
the river for y miles at and near The
Dalles?"
!. In reply to this letter Representa-
tive Williamson called the chairman's
attention to the fact that the people of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
not asking for the full appropriation at
the present time only enough to COM
mence the work, not over $500, 600 In
explanation Mr. Williamson stated:
80 long as the Columbia river is
landlocked at Cello falls, government
expenditure at the mouth of the river
must be very largely charged to Ore
CONS account. Until the locks were
constructed at the Cascades, expendi
ture at the mouth of the Columbia
/ could be charged almost wholly to that
portion of Oregon lying west of the
Cascade mountains The construction
of locks at the Cascades however, in
creased the area chargeable with the
expenditure by a material portion in
both Oregon and Washington. Not until
the final opening of Columbia river

zens of Oregon to utilize some of the
advantages of river transportation on
the Columbia that they have again
brought into use the we'll known make
shift at Cello falls-a portage rail-
way. They expect to make use of this
partial remedy until such time as
true remedy may be applied
| Representatives Jones of Washing
ton and French of Idaho are working

endeavor to convince Chairman Burton
of the necessity of The Dalles- Cello
canal, and should the Appropriation fail
states may endeavor to have an amend
ment attached to the bill when it
reaches the senate.

State Dairy and Food Commissioned
E. A. Mcdonald has completed his BIZ
ennial report. Included in it are some
general statistics that will be found
of general interest Among other
things Commissioner Mcdonald says:
The number of creameries in the
state for the year from November 1,
1902, to November 1, 1903, is 412, and
the amount of butter manufactured is
6,970,173 pounds, and the number of
creameries for the year from Novem-
Der 1, 1903 to November 1, 1904, is 421.
and the amount of butter manufactured
is 7,566,,569 pounds. This shows an
increase of 596,596 pounds Two hun
dren and seventy eight creameries
the balance of 143 from the reports of
27S. The amount of butter manufact-
ured east of the mountains during the
fiscal year as shown by this report was
2,052,710 pounds, and the amount of
butter manufactured west of the noun
tains during this fiscal year is 5,514,-
059. You will notice from these figures
that the counties west Of the noun
tains show a greater pro rata. gain
than the counties east Of the noun
tains. Snohomish county shows the
largest pro rata of increase.
There were forty-seven cheese fac
tories in the state during the year
from November 1, 1902, to November
1, 1903, and the amount of cheese man.
ufactured is S53,551 pounds The
number of cheese factories in the state
during the year from November /,
1908, to November /, 1904, is thirty
seven. and the amount of cheese man.
ufactured is 526.201 pounds. This
shows a decrease of 327,350 pounds.
Eleven cheese factories went out of
business, ten did not operate their
plants, seventeen factories reported the
average value of each plant at $1,000,
which would make the total valuation
of all reporting $4,000. On this basis
the total value of all cheese factories
is $4,000.
There was shipped to the three
principal cities of this state 4,491,37G
pounds of eastern butter and 711,O5O
pounds of California and Oregon but
ter and 1,408,520 pounds of eastern
cheese and 614,e02 pounds of California
and Oregon cheese In comparing this
report and my fourth biennialreport.
it indicates that the amount of
eastern butter and cheese shipped
from other states is not de-
creasing. This shows that the pro-
duction of butter in this state is not
gaining an increased consumption
This should give encouragement to the
| dairymen as the outlook for the dairy
industry is very promising.
"One hundred ninety-three creame-
ries reported on the value of their
| plants, which amounts to $2O5.67O.
| This would make an average value of
| each plant of about $1,000 I do not es-
| innate that the value of plants not re-
| ported would average over $500 a
| piece, which would make the total
! valuation at about $35O,000.
1.-The average wages paid butter
| makers is $67.8S per month, and the
| average wages paid assistants is $426 go
| per month. l have no data to estimate
the amount paid butter makers for the
year. However, the total amount re-
| ported is $4,S29,836.

OF candidates from the universities,
the militia and the Royal Military col
lege has been most marked.
This is not due to any lack of young
men of intellectual and physical fit
ness, but solely to the cost of life in a
cavalry regiment
The army council points out that the
evil has far-reaching effect. because,
in order to obtain officers and keep
regiments up to their establishment,
it has been found necessary to relax
the regulations as regards educational
tests, with the result that the standard
of education and intelligence has been
lowered.
Many Vacancies m the Line.
There are no fewer than thirty three
vacancies for officers in the cavalry of
the line, and there is a probability that
this number will be INCREASED at the
end of the year. to fifty.
No candidates are forthcoming at
present to fill these vacancies. 1t is
hoped however, that under the
changed conditions young men with
the necessary qualifications will come
forward.
The evil Of extravaganza has been
the subject of many warnings. These
have all, however, been more or less
of a general nature, whereas the new
order of the army council is an en-
phatic instruction.
In May, 1902, the report of the COM
mittee on army education referred to
the matter, and three months later
tenancing the regimental coaches,
that are now definitely prohibited, and
packs of hounds.
Horses at Public Expense.
In December of the same year fur
officers expenses by an order directing
that all mounted officers should be
provided with horses at the public ex-
pense.
Then came the committee on officers
expenses, which issued it's report in
April 1903. This committee found
that commanding officers deliberately
encouraged lavish entertainment in
such a manner that officers We're COM
PEELED to live beyond their income or

The report was followed by two sue
cessive army orders by Lord Roberts

A GEYsER HIT HIM.
Health Commissioner Lyon Made a
 Discovery on Main Street

Hartford, Oct Commissioners Bernhard Lyon of the health depart ment has always lived in this city, and if anyone had told him before yes terday noon time that there was a geyser on Main street he would have laughed at the idea. But after what occurred to him yesterday at 1:30 he Is willing to believe almost anything about water spouts.
 While crossing Main street in front of Samuel's shoe store and waiting to let a largs touring car pass, he stood directly in front of a manbole that. unknown to him. had gathered In q lot of water from Wednesday nights rain. The water had remained there and when the touring car passed over it. 1t caused the water 10 spout out with a pressure that would do credit to a ire engine.
 The muddy water struck Commis- sioner Lyon in no one spot. but con- pletely drenched him. The pressure was so great that the water banged up against the windows of the shoe store and some found It's way into the open door of the store. The automo- bile party not knowing the havoc they had caused continued on their course. The commissioner took hls drenching with as much good nature as anyOhe could possess under the circumstances.

CURED OF CANCER
.Fixs PsrssAsazSsi6 Ais aaxs,u .Rssn'
 Saved From Death.

New York. Oct. 13-That five per sons have been cured of cancer at the Flower hospital by the use of radiun coatings on celIulold rods inserted in to the diseased parts was the sub stance of paper read last night by Dr William H. Dieffenbach. United States delegate to the Internationa Medical congress- at The Hague, be- fore the Homeopathic Medical society of the county of New York.
 Tn only one of six cases which he treated Dr Dieffenbach said, his effort met with defeat. In that case the dis ease was far advanced. Dr Dieffen- bach described his method of treat ment in detail. 1t consists in dipping celluloid or hard rubber rods into so- lutions of salts of radlum. These rods are then inserted into incisions made in tumors. The effect of the radoi ac- tivity. he said, was to destroy diseased tissue. There are some hopeless cases where the growths have spread over large areas.
 Professor Hugo Lleber of this city has been experimenting in injecting radium into the tissues without the use of rods or sheets of celluloid. He said that three cases of tumor and can cer had been treated with remarkable snccess. This marked distinct ad- yance in medical knowledge Though st present the subject was vague they hoped soon to have more light.

BULLETS DO NOT STOP FOE.

The report just published by three Russian army doctors ln Manchurla. llr n0ga von MGnteuffel Dr Khollne and Dr Zeldoyltch. on the character of the wounds inflicted by the Japanese rifle bullets confirms existing evidence that modern gun making tends to in- crease the death roll of battle but 10 reduce the list of wounded to a minimum, while the amount of suffer- ing endured from gInshot wounds Is growing incredibly small During the SOrth African war the Mauser bullet was shown to have dealt gently with Its victims while performing it's deadly work, but the humanitarian perfection attained by the Japanese rifles Is so much greater than that of the AIauser as to sound almost like a. dream.
 The sober medical report from the hospital wards reminds one of the old Arabian story of the skiIfuI exc cutloner whose victims head remain ed attached to the trunk even after the Damascus blade had whfstled through the neck. but fell of as soon as the condemned man bowed in sup pllcatiOn before the Cadi. Owing 10 the extraordinary velocity of the la. panese missile, says Dr Khollne. there Is no portion Of the human structure that can defect 1t from it's course. A book three and a half inches thick and bound in wood would fail to do so. Wounds caused by lt perforate the body fin clean straight line drawn with mathematical accuracy. the exit Of the bullet being marked by no greater orifice than the entry. not the tinlest bruise being apparent. and the two opening marks being sO small that in many cases the surgeon fails to discover them without the help of ;he victim.

RACE SUICIDE
The Cure Lies in Women Voting Says Dr. Mary
 Willard

Detroit, Mich. Oct 13.-Race suicide has been one of the principal topics of discussion at the district conference of the Women's Christian Temperance union which will close tonight at Wy andotte. suburb of Detroit Dr Mary A. Willard of Detroit, addressing the conference, said that the most extreme type of race suicide was the investing or ignorant foreigners with the right to vote while the intelligent women of the country were denied this privilege. Continuing. Dr Willard said:
 T will not attempt to deny that few children are born into American homes, for It is lementable fact, too patent to be contradicted. There are two req sons for this. One of them Is that life is becoming too strenuous for the mod ern woman and she has not vitality enough to make her prolific in child bearing. and the other is that men sac rifice upon the shrines of Bacehus and Eros until they are powerless to lay upon the altar of welded love the tri- bute that would bless their homes.
 Give women the ballot and they will remove some of the temptations from the path of men, making it easier for them to live pure, strong, health ful lives, rendering them fit to continue the propagation of the race. And they will themselves become invigorated and ready to again resume the burdens un- der which they have fainted. A new impetus will have come into women's lives, because they can then do away with the brothel that claims their daughters and the saloon that ruins their sons.''

HEARTFELT SORROW.

St Petersburg, Oct. 13-The Russian press to-day expresses genuine and heartfelt sorrow at the death yesterday of Prince Sergius Troubetskoy (the foremost liberal in Russia and former president of the Zemstvo congress) whose ability and sincerity were ad- mired and appreciated even among his strongest opponents. His death removes restraining influence over the Moscow students and may cause the closing of the university. The council of professors in the princes absence yesterday was unable to pre- vent a big meeting of students in the university building which was largely attended by outsiders.
 Prince Troubetskoy's funeral will occur in Moscow.
