will Resist Order Of Washington
Railroad Commission.

News comes from Portland that the
Oregon Railroad x Navigation company
will resist the Joint wheat rate between
Nortbern Pacific and d. Il. e N. compel
tive points in the interior to Portland
and the Sound This rate. lately an
nOunced by the Washington railroad
commission, orders the 0. X. & N. com
pany to carry wheat to the Sound al
the same rate that is charged to Port
land.
The step taken to oppose the Joint
tariff will be petition to the United
States court of the western district OF
Washington for an Injunction This re
quest will be based on the alleged uncon.
stitutiOnality Of the action of the Wash
ingtOn railroad commission. The papers
are being prepared under the direction
Of w. w. Cotton, chief Of the Hartman
advisers in the northwest, and the case
will come before Federal Judge HanfOrd
at Seattle.
Tuesday the railroads began their
fight in the United States court in Seat
tie to prevent the state railroad commits
sion from enforcing the Joint rate order.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany, Northern Pacific and Washington
& Columbia River and Great Northern
Joined in the suit filed against the com
mission. Judge HanfOrd ordered the
commission to show cause, on September
s, why an injunction should not be is.
sued
Though the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern join with the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation company, neither of the
Hill lines is particularly interested in
the joint wheat rate fight. In fact, both
lines would benefit by an enforcement OF
the commissions mandate that the Ore
gOn Railroad & Navigation company
shall deliver wheat to the Northern Pa.
cifc and Great Northern for the Puget
Sound haul. They would be given extra
tonnage not available in any other man
ner. But the Hill lines are as deeply con-
cerned in the joint rate principle as the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company.
If the present fight should be decided
against the Oregon Railroad 4 Naviga-
tion company, the Hill lines may at any
time be compelled to deliver freight to
the Hartman system on terms dsad-
vantageOus to them.
Chairman Fl. A. Fairchid OF the state
railroad commission proposes to take
up the question OF reciprocal demurrage
soon after the commission returns from
the east.

promises to be the biggest stage set
ting which has ever been placed on any
stage in COlfax. 1t is so elaborate that
it takes a force of mechanics sent from
Chicago to get the stage Of the Ridge

stage has to be rebuilt altogether in
order to give room for the broad stair

The scene is all done in white and gold,

brighten it up to point OF brilliancy,
which gives it very rich appearance
Nearly thirty stage hands are required

After being closed for period of four

open for the season of 1906 Z on Sep
tember 8, with one of the greatest of
down east comedies, Uncle Josh Per
kins." The seasons bookings at the
RidEeway consist Of some Of the best at Y
fractions that will come TO the north
west the coming season, and while COlfax
will not get ae many Of the strong at
fractions AZ Spokane, Colfax will get az
many or more than the town can sup
port, which has everything to do with
the bringing Of theatrical attractions to
any towE. The theater management
state that they have better list OF
shows this season than any previous
one, and it is but fair to suppose that
If these do well, we will not only get

The Old Time Duccsneer.

Mr.. Masefeld's book, On the Span.
ish MAN," presents the old time buc.
cancer In less abh0rrent light than
that In which most people have regard
cd him. He even had religious beliefs.
No buccaneer was allowed to hunt or
to cure meat upon a Sunday. No crew
put to sen on q cruise without first
going to church to ask a blessing on
their enterprise No crew got drink
on the return to port after successful
trip until thanks had been declared for
the dew of heaven they had gathered.
After cruise the men were expected
to fling all their loot into pile, from
which the chiefs made their selection
and division. Each buccaneer was ex-
pected to hold up his right hand and to
swear that he had not concealed any
portion of the spoil. If after making
oath man We're found to have secret
ed anything he was bundled overheard
or marooned when the ship next made
the land. Each buccaneer had mate
or comrade, with whom he shared all
things and to whom his property de-
vOlved in the event of death. In many
cases the partnership lasted during life.
A love for his partner was usually the
only tender sentiment buccaneer al.
lowed himself.

"Legging'' a Canal Boat.

Throughout England there are mum.
Der of tunnels cut for canals where
boats have to be pushed through by
q laborious process called ''legging."
This is about the only work on the
canal women do not do, and they used
to do even this. One may see the
process in operation near London at
the Mazda Hill tunnel, which Is some
PIP yards in length. Sometimes when
the roof is low one man can "leg" an
empty boatsby lying down on his back
on top Of the cabin and pushing the
roof with his feet. With broad boat
"legging" is performed by two men,
one on each side Of the boat, who lie
down on the fore end and push against
the tunnel sides with their feet. If the
tunnel Is too wide boards projecting
over the boats side, termed wings
are brought into use for them to lie on,
At tunnels where traffic is good pro-
fessi0nal "leggers'' are in attendance.

Clever Mother Wood Duck.

How does the mother wood duck get
her brood of twelve to eighteen duck
lings from her hollow tree to the
creek? Hunters, fishermen and nature
students have tried to answer this
question, and many are the guesses
at the riddle. Mr.. William Brewster
watched an American golden eye that
aad nest in the hollow tree overhang
Ing the water until he heard her, after
she had made an inspection of the sur
roundings, utter 'quack'' that brought
her brood pellmell out Of the tree and
tumbling down into the water. A mag
azine writer says he has seen the
young ducks climb out of the hollow
down the tree and walk to the water,
which was near by, Others believe
that the mother carries them in her
bill, taking them by their wings; 9th.
ers that she carries them on her back.

Origin Of ttthe Levant.,,

Nowadays "the Levant'' means solely
the eastern Mediterranean region. But
It really signifies the east in a general
sense--the region Of the rising sun, in
fact-being derived from the French
'lever," to rise. By t'the high Levant''
Baco1. meant the far east. In the
eighteenth century Chambers Encyclo-
pedia explained that "Levant" applied
to any country to the eastward of one,
and In this sense Evelyn wrote Of
more Levantine parts than Italy"
''Levant," indeed, was interchangeable
with orient" just as "ponent" was
with "occldent." So we find Milton
writing of "Levant" and "Popent'
minds.-LOndOn Chronicle.
