HARTMAN TRAFFIC MANAGER IS HERE

Mr.. Stubbs is delighted with the
class of people now coming to the
west on the homeseeker rates Near
ly all the homeseekers now coming
are Of substantial class from the
middle west and are coming to make
homes ON the Pacific coast. They are
people Of small means and will invest
in small homes and take up hand as
they find opportunities. ana Mr.
Stubbs feels that the northwest states
will be immeasurably benefited by
these people.
The Hartman system is doing
everything in its power to set the truth
about the west plainly and directly
before the actual homeseekes. 1t
circulates tons of literature, sends out
thousands of private letters and di-
rects hundreds of inquiring settlers
to sections of the country having the
lines of industry they seek.
O. r. & n. officials are handling
the heavy homeseeker travel in a
graceful manner. This morning the
westbound train consisted of 70
coaches, all the chair cars being well
filled with homeseekers. Forty-five
transferred from the main line TO the
Spokane branch here.

Portland, March 9.-Superintend-
ent Cook, of the State Portage road,
appeared before the portage railway
commission yesterday with reference
to construction Of a proposed con-
nection on the line between the Big
Eddy and The Dalles. His statement
favored the Improvement. Concern
ing 1t he said
"Tbe Portage road should by all
means be extended TO The Dalles to
handle freight with dispatch and cut
down cost Of handling to a minimum.
Boats on the lower river would give
us preference in taking care of all
our wheat shipments and moving our
up freight. The boats on the upper
river could establish a regular sched-
ule and could meet competition with
some success.
II am endeavoring to interest the
ranchers to get them to assist in get
ting a county road into Cello so that
they can haul their wheat to this
point, but find some who will not be
willing to allow road through their
places. We can give them little bet
ter rate than they get at present"
With reference TO the request that
special train be operated over the
line mornings and evenings for the
benefit of persons desiring to spend
the day at The Dalles, Superintendent
Cook said the passenger traffic 10 be
worked up for such trains would not
pay the cost of operation. He was of
the opinion that it could be done
profitably, or at least without loss
when more men are employed at
camps of the Portland & Seattle Rail-
road company, and by Cello canal
constructors.
The report Of financiers showed the
receipts for February were $44S.4S
and the disbursements STATE, a loss
of about s125. This is a smaller de-
ficiency than usual. -

NO INTEREST ON PUBLIC FUNDS.
Secretary Taft Forestalls Transferring
Money.

New York, March 9.-Mr. S. V.
White, representing the Prison Ship
Martyrs association of this city, has
been anxious to have transferred to
the Nassau National bank of Brook
lyn, $4,000 which is held to the cred
it of the secretary of war in the sub
treasury of this city, being a part of
the total of $150,00O and the fraction
appropriated by the state of New
York for the erection of a monument
to the memory of those who died in
prison ships in New York harbor
during the war of the revolution. The
object of the move was to derive an
income by the transfer of the fund to
a national bank, which is a depository
of public moneys.
Secretary Taft, however, decided
that this transfer could not take place
under the law. The latter requires
that public moneys shall remain in
the keeping of the government treas
ury. An attempt to make such a
transfer as is desired by the Prison
Ship Martyrs Monument association
would lead to an action against the
disbursing officer and the bank re-
ceiving such funds on the ground of
embezzlement.

Last Debate on the statehood Bill.

washington, March s.--Last night
afforded the last opportunity for de-
bate on the statehood bill. The entire
session was occupied by three SEN
ators. Beveridge, McCumber and
Patterson.
Beveridge contended that while
Arizona and New Mexico were unpre-
pared for separate statehood, 1t is
unjust TO keep them out OF the
Union as one state. He took TINS
ground against the Foraker amend
ment, which allows each terri
tory to vote separately on the ques-
tion of jointure.
Senator Patterson held that Arizo-
ma and New Mexico should be admit
ted az separate states.
McCumber introduced a substitute
bill creating one state of the indian
Territory and another of Oklahoma
and eliminating New Mexico and Ari-
zona. He argued against the consoli-
dation into fewer states, contendlng
that more western states are necessary
to give trans-M Mississippi interests
strong representation in congress. he
declared the time has come when the
east must find protection from the
west. and referred to the influence OF
immigration in eastern cities, declar'
ing that at the last election Chicago
has elected socialists.
The senate will begin voting on the
amendments offered to the bill at
p. m. today The final vote will be
taken before adjournment for the
daN.

SALOON MEN GOT "CoLD FEET"
Failed to Appear to Prosecute Mama
ger of the Keylor Grand Theater. at
Walla Walla.

Walla Walla, March 9.-What is
said to be the most severe case of
cold feet ever witnessed in Walla
Walla attacked the Walla Walla sa-
loon men who caused the arrest of
Manager Catron of the Kcylor Grand
theater for keeping his theater open
on Sunday, but who failed to appear
yesterday afternoon to prosecute Man
ager Catron on their complaint.
The case against Manager Catron
for conducting a theatrical perform
arce on Sunday evening was set for
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
complaint against him having been
filed by two saloon men. The COM
plalrants failed to appear and the
case was dismissed without costs and
Sunday performances at the Keylor
Grand will continue as in the past.
1t is said the saloonmen who COM
planned against the theater decided
that they had carried their prosecu-
tions of business men far enough and
that If they did not stop they would
cause strong prohibition sentiment
in the community.

of yards and docks, under which
branch of the department also the
central power plants at each yard
will be operated.
The specifications prepared for the
machinery for the power plant at the
Brooklyn navy yard include six 440-
horse power water tube boilers and
appurtenances, smokestack and flues,
two feed water sets, three condenser
units, water and steam piping, and all
necessary equipment. The estimate
of the civil engineer who has been
engaged on this work places the cost
of the project at $1S9,O00. 1t is pos
sible that the lowest bid will be even
lower than that amount. The bids
will be opened in the navy depart
ment in Washington, on March 81.

1t is probable that a meeting will
be arranged soon between the county
commissioners and those of Walla
Walla for the purpose of discussing
a proposed macadamized road from
Freewater 10 walla Walla. Yester-
day afternoon County Judge Bean
was called by phone upon the sub
ject and was informed that a petition
will be sent in FROM the north end
of this county asking that the court

ties in the work While il is not

said the road in question is the "low-
er road" which leads direct from
Freewater to Walls Walla.
