The Commission and Railway Men
Failed to Reach Agreement
PLAN TO COMPROMISE DISCUSSED
FIGHT BEMADE ON DISTRIBUTING
RATES ASKED FOR BY
WALLA WALLA.

| SEATTLE, June 15.-Following a
conference held Wednesday between
commission and representatives of the
three railroads directly interested in
the several questions at issue, 1T was
| announced that the COlfax hearing
set for June 20, and the Walla Walla
hearing, set for June 26, will be held
and that the program outlined for both
hearings, will be carried out without
modification.
hearing it was stated that if the rail-
roads grant the demands of the ship
tributing rates out of Walla Walla on
the same basis as distributing rates
out of Spokane, the hearing will be
abandoned. but it is not expected that
any such concessions will be made.
The conference was called at the in
stance of the traffic managers of the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
o. r. & n. Co, with a view to elm
mating if possible the formal trial of
the different complaints made by
shippers of Eastern Washington and
grain dealers of the Sound. This con-
ference continued up to a late hour
last night, but at its adjournment the
railway representatives and the men,
bers of the commission We're so far
apart on the principal questions at is
sue that the Colfax and Walla Walla
hearings are no longer in doubt. The
joint wheat rate question, which is the
most important of the five issues
called for trial, found such a diver
sity of opinion that it did not even
reach the point of formal discussion.
1t is contended by the o. R. & N.
Company that joint rate on wheat
will mean the shipment of the entire
eastern output OF wheat, 1nClud1nS o..
r. & n. points, to Puget sound, there
by cutting out the traffic to Portland,
and it IS estimated that the diverg-
ence of opinion that it did not even
reach the point of formal discussion.
1t is contended by the o. r. & n.
Company that a joint rate on wheat
will mean the shipment of the entire
eastern output of wheat, including the
O. r. & n. points to Puget sound
thereby cutting out the traffic to Port
land. and it is estimated that the di-
vergence of this wheat traffic will
mean a loss of $4,000 annually to the
Hartman road.
The distributing rate. which is the
next matter of Importance to be taken
up at the hearings, was discussed and
continued without decision until to-
day. A practical settlement of the
Pasco depot matter was reached in
favor of the demand made on the rail-
roads for more adequate service.

WORST ECZEMA
DOCTORS EVER SAW
Spread Rapidly Over Body Limbs
and Arms Had to Be Bandaged
and Scalp Looked Dreadful -
Suffered Untold Misery for Three
Years Better in Two Months
MARVELLOUS CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"My son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when he was four months
old began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. We had all the doctors
around us and some from larger places,
but no one helped him a pa. icle.
The eczema was something terrible,
and the doctors said it was the worst
case they ever saw. At times his whole
body and face were covered, all but his
feet. I had to bandage his limbs and
arms; his scalp was just dreadful. I
used many kinds of patent medicines
before trying the Cuticura Remedies,-
all to no avail.
"A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last l consented, when my boy
was THREE years and four months
old, having had eczema all that time,
and suffering untold misery. began to
use all three of the Cuticura Remedies;
the Cuticura Soap helped as well as
the Ointment. He was better in two
months; in six months he was well:
but I gave him the Cuticura .Resolvent
one year, - using twelve bottles, I
think, - and always used the Cuticura
Soap for bathing, and do now a good
deal. He was four years old before
he was well, and his skin became per-
fectly fair when cured. l give you per-

Changing Of River Channel By Flood
Causes Trouble
SEVERAL COMP ANIES are TIED |
WILL BE COMPELLED TO BUILD
NEW INTAKES AND IN SOME
INSTANCES DAMS.

The channel of the Walla Walla
river was changed to such an extent
by the flood two weeks ago that sew
eral irrigation companies and farmers
depending on the river as source of
supply will be compelled to build new
intakes and in some instances replace
dams that succumbed to the flood be-
fore they will be able to get water
sufficient to irrigate their lands.
In several places the river now
flows from a quarter to a half mile
from it's original channel and the loss
and Inconvenience to farmers depend
ing on the stream for water is con-
siderable. Several farms will have to
be reditched, the old bitches being
washed out by the flood waters flowing
down them.

What Irrigationists Say.

w. T. Shaw, president of the Hud-
son Bay Land & Irrigation company,
states that a loss of not less than $500
will be sustained by them, and the Lit
tie Walla Walla River company esti-
mates a considerable loss. Many places
are almost ruined for irrigation, which
will be a great loss to individuals The
entire loss cannot be estimated until
the work Of repairing is commenced.
NJ NJ. Williams, manager of the
Lowden canal was in Walla Walla to-
day and stated that the intake Of the
big ditch will have to be extended
quite a distance in order to reach the
river which changed its course in that
vicinity During the flood Mr.. Williams
had a force of men at work strengthen
ing the intake and laterals and by
dint of hard work succeeded in keep
ing the damage down to a minimum.
Mr. Williams is now flooding two big
tracts of land to free them from al
kali. One tract SO acres in extent is
under a foot of water and another
tract of SO acres will be flooded in a
few days Regarding the hay crop, Mr.
Williams said that most of the first
cutting of alfalfa on the bottom lands
was ruined by the flood and subse-
quent rains. The indications, however,
are that the second and third cuttings
will be heavy.

The PRESIDENT message Is an inter.
estipg document, ana de:erves perusal
by every citizen. 1t il interesting to
note, as showing the changes that
time brings, that the president advo-
Gates two things which were among
the things asked for by the populists
and democrats years ago, the tax on
inheritance and tue income tax. The
president even doubts whether the
supre me court was wise in deciding
against the income tax. Bryan OK.
pressed the same opinion and was
called an anarchist for it. All the
great republican leaders opposed an
income tax when Bryan advocated it,
now we have q republican president
favoring it. The president says moth.
ing in favor of tariff revision or good
roads, two very important things. He
seems to favor letting the bankers
make the banking lave. His attitude
on the question Of Japarese IN the San
Francisco schools appear to have
stirred up the California people. Ra
cial troubles are about as bad to fix ar
as religious. Many Of the president
Tecomm endatiOns are such as the
people generally will endorse.

TIE question of car shortage simply
is that railroad is run primarily as
a producer of revenue, and secondly
as an accommodation. Where the two
purposes can be served, the railroad
is always glad to do it, but tho first
is the most important. Therefore the
cars are distributed where they will
yield the largest revenue. If it is
SAID that there are not enough cars.
then 1t Is question of building them.
But railroad isn't going to buy what
1t does not have to. The government
would get cars, because the govern.
ment is not run for profit. but to serve
the people. Which is, to our think
ing. another good argument for gov
eminent ownership.

REV. D, 81, MASON DEAD.

Mason, one Of tbs early Sunday
School missionaries in central Mime
sofa, died at the insane hospital at
Fergus Falls on November a. Old
settlers will remember Mr.. Mason
very we'll. During the '70s and '80s
he established many Sunday Schools
up through this country and it was
the hard work and exposure he I'M
derwent in the performance of his
duties that undermined and broke
down his health and affected his
mind. He was probably more closely
identified with the early Sunday
School work in this part of the state
than was any other one man.

A TALK ON COFFEE

The Boston Transcript has the fol-
owing of local interest,"
Porto Rico desires that the United
States should do something for the
revival of it's coffee industry and sug-
gestS that the something should be a
duty on all other coffees we import
Such a duty would give the coffee
growers of the island a great advant-
age, as their product would come in
free. but it would impose some burden
on our consumers.
The United States imports about
100000 pounds of coffee annually, OF
which Brazil furnishes seventy-five per
cent Other South American countries
supply in the neighborhoud of eleven
per cent. From South and Central am.
erica we obtain practically ninety per
cent of all the coffee in use The
Brazilian coffee has an average impor-
tation value of a fraction more than
eight cents a pound. Last year the
monthly exportion of coffee from Porto
Rico TO the United States was not far
| from $4,000 pounds. Its import value
was between thirteen and fourteen
cents pound. AS an economic prop
csition, Porto Rico coffee is not a sue
cess in our market, and to impose a
tax which should put it on par with
the Brazilian product would be to call
for $4,000, 600 or more of revenue for
which we have no requirements Last
year something was said about a pro-
posed duty on coffee, but nothing came
