Senate.
May 4.-The Senate got to work on
amendments to the Rate bill under the
agreement reached last Monday. The
most notable feature of the day was the
adoption of Mr. Lodges amendment de-
claring pipe lines to be common carriers
and. as such. placing them under the
jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Mr.. Lodges victory was as sweeping
as it was surprising.
Seventy-five Senators were in their
seats and voted, and not q vote was cast
against the amendment The PROPOSE
ton is aimed directly at one of the chief
factors in the Standard OIL Company's
alleged monopoly of the oil industry of
the country, and under its operations
any and all oil producers can force the
Standards pipe lines to transport their
product at tolls or rates prescribed by
the Commission.
The Railroad-rate bill was then taken
up for the consideration of amendments
under the rule regulating speeches to
Is minutes.
Three speeches bearing directly upon
the Naval appropriation bill were deiiv
cred in the House That by Mr.. Burton.
Chairman of the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors. was one of the most schol-
arly addresses delivered in the House in
many years, and at its conclusion Mr..
Burton was given wonderful ovation.
The OhiOan, who always holds his
hearers to the end. spoke against the
needless enlargement of the Navy, con-
tending that the American Nation could
well afford to serve notice upon the
other Nations that 1t stood for Inter
national arbitration and the peace of
the world.
He did not quite hold with the Presi-
dent that larger Navy was necessary.
1t was Mr.. Burton's opinion that the
chief glory of Theodore Roosevelt, when
the history of his time comes to be writ
ten. would not lie in his attack on San
Juan Hill. nor in his triumphant cleo
ton in 1904. but would rest in the ef-
forts he put forward to bring peace be-
tween Japan and Russia.
There were many speeches for and
against the Naval bill. Mr.. Shackelford
gave another section of his speech
against the Speaker. the Rules of the
House and all existing conditions.

May 3.-The close of general debate

was marked by a frank and free dis

YAKIMA's FRUIT BOOM.
Over 100000 Trees BEING Planted in
That County This Season.

A dispatch from North Yakima
printed in yesterdays Ledger quoted
horticultural Inspector Brown of
Yakima county as declaring that 750,-
600 fruit trees are being planted in
the Yakima valley this spring, says
the Tacoma Ledger. His estimate is
based on the fact that local nurseries
have sold 100000 trees, while 10 car
loads of trees and shrubs have come
into the valley from nurseries out
side the state.
Mr. Browns statement will seem
incredible to persons who are not fa-
miliar with the fruit growing interest
of the great irrigated districts along
the Yakima river. Nevertheless, it is
doubtless as close an approximation
to the fact as can be made at this
early date.
Mr. Browns figues show that this
years ree-planting will be three
times that of 1905. An interesting
fact in his statement is that several
thousand of the new trees are Eng
lish walnuts. The Yakima growers
are evidently earnest in their effort
to develop this very valuable product
on Washington soils.
