they will have the views of Senators

members of the minority side OF the

it viii be prepared. is not known II
viii. however. be emphatic In declaring
tor stringent rate legislation and will he
ready for Introduction shortly after the

This in a way may complicate matters
very much on the rate question. II Is
understood. however. that the argument
aker Yesterday afternoon was an intima-
tiOn of how severe and emphatic the
provisions OF the bill the Democratic
party VIII submit would probably be.
Foraker's Argument
Senator Foraker in the argument
took the stand that he believed the so
called discrimination and rebates
against shippers could be more ex-
peditiously handled by the courts than
by any power granted TO a certain com
mission. lie said he favored the con
tinuance of the present Elkins law.
Senator CIub1rson took exception to
this and ashed why the Imprisonment
portion of the Elktns Iaw pertaining
TO corporations had been omitted from
the category of penalties Senator
Foraker replied that he could not quite
understand how a corporation could

could see whore such a course might
be pursued in dealing with individuals
but when IL came To corporations alone
he failed To comprehend the meaning
of the remarks OF the Senator from

the method OF the opening OF the lands.
Probably thinking that the order In
which the applications were received,
would give an advantage to the early
bid. as was the case under the method
by which the upper Paiolo lands were
opened some time ago, in which the
first applicant got the land he applied
for without delay. At least this morn
ing Ave applicants were in front OF
the door OF the land office before the
time of business. II was stated that
one OF them had been on the spot since
Saturday night and that others had
been there for shorter time.
The following applications for lots
were received this morning:
William C. Bergin. lot 20. area 1.67
acres. upset price 5000.
Thomas II. Dunkin. lot 10. area 1.53
acres, upset price $500.
Sam Clinton Hendesty. lot 1, area
LAT acres, upset price $50.
Clinton william Crandell, lot l5
area 1.49 acres. upset price 5000.
L. X. Bath. lot IS, area 1.4s acres
upset price 5000.
The applicants had to file ten per
cent of the upset price Of the lots they
applied for. The lots numbering from
Is to 20 inclusive are on the stream
and between the old and the new road
As they have water and are compare
lively free from rocks, and the rest Of
the lots which run from the new road
up the side OF the mountain, are very
rocky, It is expected that most OF the
applicants will go after these five lott
and some spirited bidding be the re
suit.

Hilo, Aug. 1O.-The Kinau arrived
from Honolulu about o'clock yester-
day afternoon after a rather rough.
trip. At Maalaea Bay two Of the
steamers boats had great difficulty In
landing owing to the strong wind which
was blowing at the time. One boat con.
tanning passengers was blown far out
OF her course and It looked for awhile
as though she would not be able to
land.
The Kinau was delayed two or three
hours at Maalaea and did not stop at
Laupahoehoe because of the rough
weather. She took large crowd away
from Honolulu, in many instances there
being three persons In one room.

How the Oregon Legislature can

They have no passes to give out to
head off legislation.
They have escaped almost entirely.
Business men who are readers of
the Atlantic Monthly will be particu-
larly interested In the opening article
of the July number. 1t has to do with
the relations of the express companies
to the railroads and to the public. Its
aim is to set forth the reasons for the
widespread demand for greater pub
licity in the transactions of these COM
panies. The article is written by
Frank Haigh Dixon, an expert on
transportation problems.
The next legislature should see to
it that the pay for the privilege of do.

But will the people be foolish
enough to leave so just and important

corrupted legislature.
The initiative and referendum Is
the only weapon by which these tax
gathering machines can be reached.

A stand for the speakers and Of

tion, opened the exercises with "a
thrilling prayer for the betterment of
womankind, after which representa-
tives of the Redmen, Miss Susan B.
Anthony, Mrs. Duniway, Mrs. Dye

to the occasion. Mrs. George H. Pet
