EXPERIMENTAL FARM STATIONS
JONES' BILL CALLS FOR MONEY
FOR UNITED STATES
RANCHES.

The interest taken by Congressman
Jones in the establishment of expert
mental farm stations in eastern Wash
ington has at length borne fruit, a bill
being introduced in congress providing
for an appropriation of $4,000 fol-
carrying on the work.
Congressman Jones has had a num-
Der of conferences regarding the es-
Establishment of the experimental sta
lions with the secretary of agriculture
and it is as a result of these confer
ences that the secretary has had intro
duced the bill providing for the estab-
lishment of the stations.
A bill has also been introduced pro-
viding for the reclamation of 10000
acres of swamp lands along the Col
vile river in Stevens county. When
reclaimed it is said that this land will
be worth SIS per acre.

NEW DEMOCRACY.
Mcclellan and Friends Framing Plan
to Reorganize New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Mayor Nc
Clellan has had a long conference with
D. Cady Herrick and former Controller
Edward M. Grout. The three men are
iZe the democratic party in the state
and arrange a new combination of lead
ers to control the next convention.
A movement has been on foot for
moth to reorganize the party through
out the state in way that will leave
David B. Hill, Charles F. Murphy and
Senator p M McCarren far in the
background in the convention ana
campaign this year. The mayor, Mr..
Grout, Judge Herrick. Martin w. Lit
Teton and many other democrats are
very much interested in the plan; i'll
fact the four men named are supposed
to be in full charge of it. They deny
that they have a candidate for the
nomination for governor, but if they
succeed with their plans Judge Herrick
can have the nomination if he will take
it, and if he declines, Mr.. Grout NAV
take it.
The Daily News, the organ of Chas.
w. Murphy, the Tammany hall boss,
announces in an editorial printed in
display type across the first page of
the paper that it will no longer sup
port Mayor Mcclellan. The editorial
which gives an account of an alleged
conversation between the editor of the
paper and the mayor over the city adj
vertising, appears under this head:
uses city money to muzzle news
papers. Mayor Mcclellan makes an
astounding revelation of himself to the
editor of the New York Daily News.
This newspaper breaks with him, and
with all democratic factions and groups
and appeals straight to the public"

adam Pacific Short line is to be sub
jected to a big transportation test by
the government. In consequence of the
new alliance with Japan, in which both
nations pledge themselves to support
each other in case Of an attack, even
though it be single handed. the Brit
1sh government has decided to discover
in just how little time it could send a
considerable body Of men from the
shores of Great Britain to Queen Char
lotte island, which lies to the north of
Vancouver. Up to the present, the
plan has been closely guarded in the
admiralty.
The scheme is to call upon the Ca
madam Pacific railway to transport
10000 marines and sailors with boats
and all equipment from England to
Vancouver, and then by coasting YES
sells to Queen Charlotte island. This
will involve the chartering of extra
vessels and running twenty trains, each
loaded with 500 men and camp equip
ment across the continent. The ex-
pertinent will take place in about two
months.

CHINESE ART IN STONE.
Its Best Examples and Some of Its
Greatest Defects.

Its Hest Examples and Some of Its
Greatest Defects.
The spirit of purely Chinese art in
stone is shown in work such as the
great monolith figures Of animals and
warriors which flank the approach to
the tombs of the Ming dynasty and in
the perfectly plain structures designed
for the tombs of the present dynasty.
These are composed Of enormous
blocks of stone brought with infinite
labor from distant quarries over roads
and bridges which are hardly capable
Of sustaining ordinary cart traffic and
have always to be specially prepared
to prevent the great weights causing
their collapse.
The same admiration for the employ
ment of huge blocks of stone is seen
in the case Of the bridges over the riv-
erS along the coast of South Fukien,
where the stone slabs used in tie con-
structfon occasionally measure sixty
feet in length and are estimated to
weigh nearly 120 tons, and the bridges
themselves have a length Of 1000 to
1000 yards.
In almost all cases where the build
ings are not of solid construction the
weight Of the blocks employed has
placed strain upon the supports which
the architects skill was not competent
to provide against, and with the lapse
Of time the melancholy spectacle is
seen of slabs fallen from their places
and Of noble and costly structures
approaching ruin. In some cases the
interdependence of the arches leads to
the same result. One notable instance
Of this occurred during Colonel Cor
don's campaign against the Taipings.
when to allow of the passage Of his

make gap in bridge of over twenty
arches, and arch after arch collapsed

ANOTHER TRUST.

The latest development in trust af-
fairs is the organization Of drug
trust. a New Jersey corporation, the
purpose of which is the operation of
chain of drug stores from the Atlantic
to the Pacific The trade in the east
takes rather serious view Of the
new combine, and sees in 1T pos
sible disruption of trade. 1t is
doubtful if the thing will work out SO
seriously, although if it succeeds as its
promoters nope, competition will be
crushed out in many cases. 1t is well
to remember, however, that in the tea
and coffee trade there have been large
firms with chains of stores in operation
for years, yet every corner grocery has
it's tea and coffee for sale and does
more or less business.
The thing is to be viewed then not
so much as serious menace to trade,
as an interesting illustration of the
evident purpose Of trust organizers to
combine every possible line Of trade.
To run over the list of trusts, one
ready been taken in by the octopus,
but apparently there is still room for
new combination and consolidation.
1t is to be noted that the combina-
tons that approach nearer to oppres-
sion and operate against the interests
of the people as a whole, are those in
which there is opportunity for total
or partial monopoly in the raw mate
rial The Standard Oil company,
mother of them all, comes within this
category.
When it comes to combining things
that are of wide general use, and the
supply of which cannot be controlled at
the fountain head, there is less oppor-
tunity for success.
The trust is an unpopular thing with
the American people, yet in actual OPP

THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

Your Uncle Joe Cannon, since his
notable victory in the mouse, looks
upon himself as almost as consequent
tiaI a man as Senator Aldrich. But
the speaker is not unaware of the fact
that he reigns but for two years, while
Aldrich is in for life or during bad be-
havior. The house of representatives
is frequently turned over while the
senate, being a continuing body, is in
democrats have captured the house
bodily eight times, but nave held the
senate but twice. The republican par
ty has had the senate and house TWEEN
tytwo years, the democrats the sem
ate and house but four years. Congress
has been divided and the republicans
nave held the house eleven times,
while the democrats have captured i.
eight times.
Speaker Cannon is not ignorant of
the fact that the house elections are
more often a reflex of the changing
of sentiment in the country on fiscal
and political questions tnan any other
elections we hold 1t behooves the
members of the house to keep their ear

sentiments of the people are. The

often unfair and inequitable, but it
being the only recourse of indignant
people they use the weapon in hand
rather than not use any.
1t was evidently the belief of the
fathers of the republic that they would
do this ana they erected the senate
with its continuing membership and
indirect election as a barrier against
too free democracy. But the makers of
the constitution contemplated senate
of wise men VINO would act as a brake
upon the energy of the house in a
purely disinterested manner. They
imagined them as clearly removed from
personal or petty motives as judges
of the supreme court. They never fore
saw senate made up of the agents of
corporations dealing out legislation at
the behest not of the people, but of
bloodless creations of the law. Had
they done so they would have made
their government more democratic
They would have put the brake upon
insidious alliances of senators with
private proprietors rather than upon

NEW ENGINES FOR HARTMAN
LOCOMOTIVES OF THE LATEST
TYPE WILL BE PLACED
IN COMMISSION.

Within the next two weeks % new
freight and passenger engines are ex-
pected to arrive from the east for use
on the Hartman system in this state
These locomotives, which are of the
latest type, represent an expenditure OF
$500 900. Twenty of the engines were
built for heavy freight hauling. Ten
are to be used on the o. r. & NJ lines
in Oregon and 10 will do service On the
Southern Pacific division. The re-
manning three are of the heavy passen-
ger type, and will be put into commits
sion on the mountain division of the
o. r. & N. on their arrival.
All the engines are of the Pacific
consolidated type, and range in weight
from $4,000 to 100000 pounds, with
tenders, or a net weight of 10000
pounds on the drivers. They cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 each. AS the decision
to change all the o. r. & N. engines
into oil-burners had not been made
when the order for these engines was
placed, they are all coal-burners, and
are uniform in type and size with those
at present in use on the Hartman
lines in this state.
Two steam wreckers, the principal
features of which are powerful cranes,
to be used in clearing the track of en-
gines and cars after wreck, are also
expected to arrive next week. They
were built by the Industrial Train
company, of Detroit
