BRING IN YOUR COUPONS.

We have decided to accept at face
value the coupons given away in a

We are all serious and you have the
best opportunity of your lives. We
have a new catalogue finished in
January before any word contest was
suggested AS our pianos were priced
to meet the hardest competition the
west could produce, our acceptance of
these coupons is bona fide allowance.
II we had got up this contest and had
had a chance to boost prices to take
care of preferred credits you might
have occasion for suspicion.

BRING H0MESEEKERS TO uMAT|LLA

Ninety Days.

PENDLETON, Or, April 10.-Five
thousand homeseekers in Umatilla
county within ninety days is what H.
c. Willis thinks he can accomplish
with the assistance and cooperation
of the Umatilla County Development
league. He has but recently returned
from his first trip out on the road and
feels that while he has done much for
the county in the way of advertising
it's resources and future possibilities,
there is yet much that can be done. He
met hundreds of people who were COM
ing west in search Of homes, where
they would be free from the oppressive
heat of summer and the killing cold OF
winter. They were also in search of
farms from which they could get sub
stantial returns for labor and time ex-
pended.

PaIouse damned With Logs

The Palouss river is damned with
sawlogs from the sawmill to the flour
mill dam, a distance Of fully mile and
a half, and yet not more than about
one-half of the timber for the Potlatch
Lumber company's mill has come down
over the dam, says the Palouse Re-
public.
The big drive comprises full 90
100000 feet of logs and will furnish
the speedy bandsaws at the big mill
with ripping material for many months
to come The rear half of the drive
can be easily brought down at any
time of the year by use of the flush

IN conference at Sloux City.
SIOUX CITY. Iowa, April 1O.-A
conference of the politicians of the
Eleventh district who are friendly to
George D. Perkins candidacy for gov
ernOr, is bling held in Sioux City. The
purpose is to arrange dates for county
conventions in counties which the Per-
kins men hope to secure. These are
Dickinson. Osceola. Lyon, Woodbury.
and Monona.
1t is thought possible an attempt
will be made to hold all of these con-
ventions in the next two weeks for the
sake of the moral effect on the other
counties Then the Perkins forces will
be free to invade other counties that are
counted for Cummins.
The Cummins men are alert, how
ever, and it is likely they will try to
hold early conventions in their coun-
ties The only convention called so far
is that in Dickinson for April q by
common consent. A. B. Funk, support
ing Cummins, is leading a spectacular

DECISION IS A COMPLICATION
Michigan Tax Case Is Held
Important.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April TO-
The railroad rate situation has beer
further complicated by the decision OF
the United States supreme court ir
the Michigan railroad tax cases. Sen
ator Knox and other legal experts
promptly declared that this opinion
proves the Hepburn bill to be uncon-
stitutional unless an amendment is
added giving the carriers the right OF
appeal to the courts.
A number of conservative republi-
cans gathered with Mr.. A1drich to dis
cuss this new phase of the bill They
requested Mr.. Knox to take up the full
decision rendered by Justice Brewer
and formulate his views as to how Far
the Hepburn bill is affected by this lat
est expression of the supreme court
Senators Dolliver, Nelson and others
refuse to admit that the pending rate
bill is in any wise affected by the tax
decision.
The words of Justice Brewer in the
decision by which it is hoped to prove
in advance the unconstitutionality of
the Hepburn bill are:
There might be a question whether
even if there was a clear delegation O.
legislative functions in other depart
ments of the government, it would be
void under the federal constitution. In
the nation no one of three great de-
partments can assume or be given the
functions of another, for the cOnstitu-
ton distinctly grants TO the president
congress and the judiciary separately
the executive, legislative and judicial
power of the nation. 1t may, there
fore, be conceded that an attempted
delegation by congress to the president
or any ministerial officer or board OF
power to fix rate of taxation or exercise
other. legislative functions would be
adjudged unconstitutional"

making a tour of the wheat sections OF
eastern Washington and estimates that
the damage resulting to grain from the

thinks that per cent would represent

Bodies Not Recovered.

HOOD RIVER, Or, April 1O.-News
has been received here of the drown
ing of two men at the dam of the
Mount Hood Lumber company at the
new town of Dee.
In order to have a full head Of water
the gate in the dam has been kept
closed during the night to float logs
down from the upper stream. The
warm weather of the past few days
has caused the SHOWS in the mountains
TO melt and a much larger quantity of
voter has been coming down the
stream than usual. 1t has been GUS
tomary to open the gate each morning
before the men who were working be-
low the dam went to work. Yesterday
morning it was delaped a little later
than usual. and NJ Kommer, a white
man. and D. Ono, Japanese, were
working on the new power plant below
the dam when the cracking Of tim
hers and roar of water apprised them
that an accident had happened. Turn
ing about. they saw the rushing tor
rent coming toward them and tried to
reach a place of safety, but before
they could do so were carried down
the stream.

RAILROAD MAN INTERVIEWS ROOSEVELT
BELIEVED THAT ALL DIEEIcIIi
TIES HAVE BEEN OVERCOME
FOR RATE BILL.

WASHINGTON, D. y. April 10
BY invitation of President Roosevelt
! c. S. Mellen, president of the New
York. New Haven & Hartford railway
and L. E. Byrnes, his assistant, have
been at the White House to talk over
the rate question
This invitation was extended on ac-
| count of the recent address which Mr.
Mellen made before the Get Together
club in New Haven, in which he critt-
cized the Hepburn bill and said it was
full of holes big enough TO march a
regiment through.
Mr. Mellen's chief complaint was that
he had advised the president as to the
dangers in the bill and presumed he
had his pledge that those dangers
should be averted by proper amend
ment. But the bill went through the
house without the amendments being
made, and was reported to the senate
in the form in which it had passed the
house. So Mr. Mellen felt that the
president had not kept faith with him.
MeIIen Feared Rival.
Specifically Mr.. Mellens contention
was that the bill as passed in the house
would permit an obscure rival of the
Fall River line of steamboats,, plying
between New York and Boston, to con-
vey to railway line, the rival Of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
company. owning the Fall River line,
full access to the latters valuable ter
minals in Boston. Generally, the bill
according to Mr.. Mellen's contentious,
would permit of any company operating
both by rail and water, no matter how
insignificant that company might be,
to profit by the gigantic undertakings
in the way of terminals Of stronger
companies.
The president, of course, insisted
that he had not broken faith with Mr.
Mellen, and there the matter rested.
During the luncheon and in the CONVEX
sation which preceded and followed la,
the president made his position plain
to Mr.. Mellen, and as a result the
good will formerly existing between the
two has been completely restored.
May Amend Again.
The president explained why it was
that the bill could not be amended
after it had been reported to the house.
and how it came about that the ext
gencies of the case demanded that it
be reported to the senate without
The ethics of the situation
were pointed out by the president, who
is understood to have expressed the
belief that If the bill was vulnerable
in the way pointed out by Mr.. Mel
len, it ought to be amended.
Some amendment satisfactory to the
Mellen contention, it is said, is to be
made while the bill is before the sem
ate, and this amendment the president
will accept AS a result of the con-
ference, Mr.. Mellen has acquitted the
president of showing him inattenti0n
or disrespect, or of failing to hive
mp to a promise.

Proposition 10 Add to Income Of
Reclamation Service
LET LIVE STOCK MEN HAVE LAND
ESTIMATED THAT $4,000 COULD
BE ADDED TO FUND EACH
YEAR.

The increasing demand upon the rec
lamation service to investigate new ir-
rigatiOn works in the west have made
the question of increasing reclamation
funds one of utmost Importance. The
bureau of forestry is withdrawing mil
lions of acres for forest reservations,
cutting off the principal source of in
come to the fund, as under the timber
and stone act most of the land was
passing rapidly from the government
at $3.50 per acre. No provision is
made that the sale Of stumpage which
the bureau of forestry is empowered to
make, shall return to the reclamation
fund, so that this valuable source of in
come is forever lost to the fund, is re-
port that comes from Washington.
Recently the livestock interests of
the west have been viewing with ia
vor some proposition of renting the
public lands which are useless for any,
thing save grazing, and the sentiment
is growing that new policy in regard
to these lands would be to the adj
vantage of the herdsmen and the gov
eminent also, and it is probable that
the question will soon receive the con-
SideratiOn of congress-
1t is suggested that the government
should now make a careful examina-
ton and classification of the remain
ing public lands, and take up the ques-
ton of putting such areas as are not
regarded as habitable in the way of
earning something. 1t is recognized
that this matter is one involving many
complications, owing to the widely diff
ferent conditions prevailing in each
state and territory. but it is not be-
lieved impossible to adjust these con-
ditions and enact legislation which will
harmonic all differences.

keep closer watch on their stock.
1t would put stop, in large meas
ure, to the inhumanity of the present
system, which every year costs the
lives of thousands of cattle which usu-
ally starve or freeze to death or die
Of thirst. The day Of the big herdsman
is nearly over, anyway. Settlements
encroach upon the range everywhere
and the wisdom of providing for a
better use of the range is too evident
to require comment. Some Of the
largest livestock men of the west are
in favor of this legislation. There is
no reason why the property of all OF
the people should be utilized free OF
charge by a few for their exclusive
benefit.
A charge of three cents per acre
could harm no livestock interest. Or
he contrary it would protect legitimate
interests by vesting the title OF use
for the time being in responsible
hands.
