greater part Of the steers sold at $3.50
to 1925. Cows and heifers, where offer
ings were good, sold up to last week,
other grades were 10 to Is cents lower
Veal calves were scarce at firm prices.
StOckerS and feeders were 10 to Is cents
higher owing to small supply The

Lieutenant Governor Dave Hanna Of
Hin City seems to be having trouble at
home. The Hill City Republican ac-
cuses him of getting free passes from
the taxation department of the railroad
companies for distribution among his
friends, intimating that Mr. Hanna's
services on the state board Of railroad
assessors are regarded by the railroad
companies in this way. The Repubi-
can says:
I'VE believe that ninety-nine out OF
every hundred Republicans in Graham
county are opposed to the Burton
Kelly faction in state politics control
ling the coming state convention. AS
equally a large percentage of Republi-
cans are opposed to the railroads die
tating the Republican politics Of kan
sas. 1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that Lieutenant Governor D. ].
Hanna has always been prominently
identified with the Burton-Kelly fol-
lowing and is today leaving no stone
unturned to help that faction maintain
their prestige in state politics. And in
this contest that faction has the sup
port of the railroads Of the state. Mr..
Hanna has been chief dispenser of
railroad patronage in the county, and
what justly arouses the suspicious of
the people is the fact that these passes
have been coming through the taxation
departments of the railroads"

Russian Reactonarles are Incting to
Open Outbreak.
St. Petersburg, March l3. - Some OF
the reactionary organizations are push
ing the agitation against the radical
elements to dangerous point. Today
League of the Russian People" held
service in the Alexanderevsky mon
astery, to celebrate the manifesto on
March as victory for the old regime.
Later, at the Horse Guard nenage, the
fighting society of the same organiza-
tion held public meeting and listened
to jnfammatory speeches by DR.. DOu-
brown and Professor Nikolsky, two ex-
tremist leaders, at which the orators
openly summoned their followers, the
Black Hundred, to kill the Jews and
hang Count Witte.
Prince Mestchersky, editor of the
Graznanin, who supported the Witte
section, charges the bureaucracy with
having sympathy with the court clique,
which is opposing the hands of the
cabinet, and with melting class hatred
and strikes, with the purpose Of max
ing the national assembly failure.
He quotes Professor Nicolsky as de-
claring that friends of the autocracy
should see that a number of revolu.
tionaries are elected. in order to fur
nish an excuse for dispensing the ma
tional assembly with bayonets.

LEASING GRAZING LAND.

Commissions Policy.

Reeder's Has Bill to Carry Out Land
Commissions Policy.
Washington, March 49, The time
is not yet ripe for the passage of bill
authorizing the leasing of vacant pub.
lie grazing lands, but sentiment in
favor of Federal control and regulation
of the public range is growing steadily,
and eventually such system will be
inaugurated. Representative Reeder,
OF Kansas, has advanced ideas on this
subject, and believs that the best way
to expand sentiment in favor of the
leasing system is to keep the topic be-
fore the public. With that end in view
he has drawn and introduced general
leasing bill which reads as follows
"That the president is hereby au-
thorized to set aside by proclamation
such portions of the public lands as in
his opinion should be created into graz
ing districts. The control and custody
of the lands thus withdrawn shall be
placed in the hands of the secretary OF
Agriculture, who is hereby authorized
to classify and appraise the grazing
value of such lands and to appoint such
officers as the care of each grazing1 dis
trlct may require.
"The secretary of Agriculture is also
authorized to charge and collect rea-
sonable fee for grazing permits and to
make and enforce such regulations as
may be appropriate to the conditions of
each gaprzing district. These regula
tions shall be framed and applied with
special reference to bringing about the
largest permanent occupation of the
country by actual settlers and home
"All public lands thus withdrawn
and controlled shall at all times be

Coos Has Plenty of Water.

Coquille-Coos county has been large
ly under water for the past ten days.
The water is the highest known this
winter. Logs have been coming out in
large numbers. There were about 40,
900 legs in the north fork of the Co.
guile and Is, 900 have been gotten out,
with about 5000 still in the smaller
tributaries. With the clearance of this
large number of logs it will make it a
busy season in the lumber camps of
this county. With the building of the
logging road up Cunningham creek logs
will be plentiful.

There has been land commissioner

where there are two. Wallowa is GEN.

There are at present many hundreds
of acres of timber and agricultural lands
near Wallowa to be taken up, but with
the extra expense of from IS to So add

SEA-lEvEl CANAL FEASIBLE.
Professor Burr Says It Can Be Dug
in Ten Years.

Washington. March 9.-Profeseor W
A. H. Burr. OF New York, q member OF
the board of consulting engineers. ap-
peared before the senate committee on
interoceanic canals to discuss the type
of canal to be constructed across the
1sthmus OF Panama. He eaid that
since the report wss prepared, his re-
Elections convince him more than ever
that sea-level canal was more feasible
than a lock canal.
The witness was examined at length
concerning the control of the Chagres
river, and declared that the solution
of the problem presented was entirely
feasible. He declared he could see no
reason why a sea- level canal should not
be constructed in ten years, as no
doubtful engineering feats were con-
in the majority plan.
The committee adjourned until 10 80
O'Clock tomorrow, when it is under
stood Professor Burr will attack the
of constructing canal of the
lock- type provided for in the minority
report.

CASH FOR JETTY.
Provision is Made in Amendment to
Sundry Civil Bill.

Provision is Made in Amendment to
Sundry Civil Bill.
Washington, March 9.-The senate
committee on commerce today voted
unanimously to report favorably SEN
ator Fulton g amendment to the sun
dry civil bill, approprating $4O0, 900
for continuing the work on the Colum.
bia river jetty, with view to it's pre-
servation until congress shall hereafter
make provision for its completion. On
advice of Senator Frye, chairman Of
the committee, Mr.. Fulton did not at.
tempt to amend his amendment, as
recommended by the secretary of war,
SO as to authorize contracts to COM
plete the jetty, to its full projected
length, because it was universally
agreed that any such change would
certainly defeat the entire amendment
and kill the 100000 appropriation
which now seems within grasp.
Rather than run this risk, Mr.. Fulton
AZ ked for favorbale report merely on
his amendment as originally drawn.
The commerce committee, before act
ing, gave hearing to Mr.. Fulton, who
at some length pointed out the neces-
sity for the adoption Of his amendment,
showing that, unless the money is pro
vided, more than a mile of uncom-
pleted jetty will be entirely lost, be-
cause of the certain destruction of the
tramways. Unless his amendment is
adopted, Mr.. Fulton declared the tram.
way would be utterly destroyed by
teredos during the coming season, and,
once the tramway is gone, the half
finished portion OF the jetty will be alb
lost, because it will be jmpos-
sible to build new trestles over unfin.
ished rock work. This loss, he said,
would cost the government fully $780,
600, and would set back work on the
jetty not less than two years. He
showed that good business principles
demand that the incomplete work be
protected, and this can only be done
by the immediate expenditure Of $400,-
900, as explained by the army engin-
eers.
The committee was thoroughly con-
vinced of the advisablty Of max ng
his appropriation, and assured Mr..
Fulton that it would individually and
collectively aid him in securing the
adopt. on of his amendment.
While the committee is not favorable
% making appropriations for new river
md harbor work at this session, it re.
'ards this project as an extreme emer-
,ency. To increase the chances CT get
ing this appropriation, the committee
authorized favorable report on an
riginal bill identical in terms with
Ir. Fulton's amendmnet, and, in case
ne plan fails, the other will be pressed.
Senator Piles. of Washington, VINO is
member of the commerce committee
nd extremely friendly to Columbia
iver Improvement, is an enthusiastic
Importer of Mr.. Fulton's amendment.
le, like other members of the commit. :
ee, believes the action of the commit
ee today makes it absolutely certain
nat the senate will attach the amend.
,ent to the sundry civil bill, but real f
:es that fight will come when the {
i'll goes back to the house. @
