Washington, March RI. There
is no change in the tempe of the
house 50 far as | can see = This
was the statement made by Speak
er Cannon at the White House yes
terday regarding statehood legisla-
ton.
Statehood legislation was discus
ed by the president with sevelal of
bis callers, besides Speaker Cannon
Representative Hamilton Of Michi-
gan, chairman of the house com;
mittee on territories. declared the
house would not accept the senate
amendments Former Delegate
Rodey of New Mexico who has
been advocating joint statehood for
Arizona and New Mexico, express
great disappoiment at the action of
the senate Senator Beveridge,
chairman Of the senate committee
on trritories, talked to the prsident
about the statehood legislation but
made no comment on it.
1t is learned that vigorous efforts
will be made to induce the house to
coucur in the senate amendments.
The movement will be supported

Washington, March IL. The
statehood question will not be TAX
en- up by thehouse u~til the return
of the members of the river and
harbors committee who are are
making atrip Of inspe ction throuhg
the sonth. They viii not return
until, March I9. Before they left
an agreement was reached that no
thing should be done with state
hood until their return.
House leaders who represent the
administration view of the statehood
problem are positive that the honse
will not concur in the amendment
Of the senate eliminating Arizona
and New Mexico from the bill.
The positive assertion is made
by The stalwarts" that the 'insur-
gents" have not gained single
vote since the bill left the house
and consequently will be unable to
carry a motion to concur i'll the sen
ate amendments to the measure.
When the bill comes over from
the senate the program contem-
plates a motion TO disagree and ask
or a conference. This motion will
be made BY Mr.. Hamilton. It is
thought that Mr.. Babcock will inter
pose a motion to concur in the SEN
ate amendments. The vote will
dome on this motion first and the
result of the vote will reveal the
strength Of the respective sides.
Those opposing statehood for Ari-
iona and New Mexico iu house
have maintained all along that if
opportunity was given for direct
vote on the specific question and
not as was the case on the necessity
of defeating a rule direct from the
speaker room that they had plenty
of votes to defeat joint statehood.

STRIKES AND FIREARMS.

Already the sailors strike inaugurated
at San Francisco has developed two
shooting affrays. One in Portland last
week in connection with the crew of
the Johan Poulsen, and another in San
Francisco Sunday night. The former was
the work of union men, the latter done by
non-union men and neither case has
made a single friend for the respective
contestants. When the day comes that
men, making quasi-public stand for
their rights, or alleged rights, shall
know enough to cut firearms out of
their programs, and put their pleas upon
the basis of technical and ethical argu-
ment leaving the common sense public
to strike an even balance between them,
they shall accomplish more and do it
in less time. The people are getting tired
of thug tactics in the settlement of
simple questions of right and wrong,
and the unions must "cut it out" or see
their propaganda discredited for reasons
they cannot defend.

AST0RIA'S AWAKENING.

Everyone with the good of Astoria at
heart, is anxious to see her accomplish
the things that she has on hand for her
up-building. At present. the particular
thing is the securing of the new hotel.
That done, we will have place to prop
erly entertain the people who come here
~ invest; as well as those who are
.aerely transient guests, yet whose good
word for the city abroad is of vital value
in an advertising sense. 1t is just such
things as a notable hotel that give i'm
petus to the work of development in a
place like Astoria; and now, in the midst
of her awakening, she needs every con-
cievable agency that shall contribute to
the desired reaction. A hotel that shall
rank with the best in the state will do
more to publish her name throughout
the country than anything else, just
now, from the simple fact that it is the
greatest of all her needs. What better
reason could she have for straining every
nerve and making her readiest sacri-
fees, than this one pregnant fact?

PEOPLE AND LOGS.
Electric Line From Gray's Harbor Direct
to South Bend.

In connection with the formation OF n
company for the construction OF an
electric logging and passenger railway
from South Bend. to Grays Harbor.
Charles f. Miller of South Bend was in
Tacoma today and gives out the posi-.
tive statement that within a short time
active work will be commenced on the
construction of the road-2l miles in
length and tapping one of the richest
timber districts of the entire state. Ar
rangements for sufficient amount of
money to handle the proposition. he as
serts, is already assured by eastern
capitalists and as soon as preliminaries
have been completed work will be com
menced.
Those most prominently connected
with the enterprise are, according to
Mr.. Miller, j. W. Kleeb. of the Kleeb
Lumber Company; W. H. Boner, mana
ger of the South Bend Mills & Timber
COMPANY; s. P. Andrews, president OF
the First National Bank OF Hoquiam:
George H. Emerson and John f.
SOule, Of the Northwestern Lumber
Company of Hoquiam; A. T. Albertson,
cashier of the National Bank OF Com
merce of Tacoma and Mr.. Miller him
self.
According to the statement given out
by Mr.. Miller the road will connect
South Bend, Aberdeen and Hoquiam and
incidentally take in Raymond, Frances,
and Chehalis. Branch lines will be run
to the Nasel and Nema country where
one of the richest bodies of timber in
the entire state is located. The Weyer-
hauser syndicate owns large tract in
tina section which has not been handled
for lack Of transportation facilities.
While franchises have not as yet been
secured it is asserted by Mr.. Miller that
no trouble will be encountered along
that line and that the million and a
quarter Of dollars necessary for the con-
struction of the road can be readily
secured.
The foregoing is taken from the Ia
coma News While neither Mr.. Boner
nor Mr.. Kleeb know anything definite
concerning the proposed line, it is to be
hoped that Mr., Miller's plans will be
realized.

lagous to the great occasion. The men

for pride and thankfulness in its achieve

the nation owes an incalculable debt of
gratitude.
