According to the laws relating
to the collection of personal pro-
perty taxes passed by the legls-
lature during 1905 the sherlffs of

the sheriff on the 18th of the same
month. These are returnable

Heretofore the county board

Der 1st. Hereafter all warrants
must be in by June first. After
that time citations are issued for

BAILEY DISCUSSES RATE BILL,
Texas Senator Attracts Large Crowd

Texas Senator Attracts Large Crowd
- Of Visitors.
Washington, April II In anticipa-
ton :7of Mr.. Baileys promised speech
On the rate bill the senate galleries
were filled as soon as they were
6paaed and in addition a large NUM-
bei of disappointed men and women
remained in the corridors in the hope
that later they might find an oppor-
tunity to secure a seat inside There
also was a large attendance of SEN
atprs and it was evident from the be-
ginning of the days session that the
Texas senator would. be accorded fat
tering attention both from his col
leagues and the public
Mr., Bailey began his speech by dis
eussing his proposition looking to the
withdrawal Of the power of the in
ferior courts to suspend the orders of
the interstate commerce commission.
Il" he said, congress, can destroy
proceedings in equity it can destroy
proceedings at law" This, he said,
had been conceded by his opponents,
as had also been the point that the in
ferior courts derived their power from
acts of congress and not from the Con
stitution direct. These concessions
left as the only point the distinction
between the judicial power of the
United States and the jurisdiction Of
the federal courts, for which Mr. Knox
and Mr.. Spooner contend.
He then entered upon definition of
the two terms and after quoting many
authorities declared that they show
there is practically no difference in
meaning between them: 1T is diff
cult" he said; TO believe that intel
lects like those of the senator's from
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania can con-
tend for such an absnrdity as they de
contend for in holding that when con-
gress confers any power on a court 1t
confers all power on them.''

HiLL-HARRiMAN FIGHT.
Construction Gangs Expected to CLASH
Any Moment.

Construction Gangs Expected to cIast,
=, Any Moment.
Portland, Ore, April 11.-According
to the Oregonian hostilities are prob
ably likely to begin at any moment
between construction gangs employed
by the Columbia Valley and Portland
and Seattle railroads, the two rival
roads being built down the north bank
of the Columbia river by the Hartman
and Hill interests.
The first overt act of hostility be-
gan when the Hartman graders be-
gan shoveling off four feet from the
top of the Portland and Seattle grade
little distance below La Camas,
Wash, in order to get down to the
Columbia valley grade. The property
at this point is claimed by the Harri-
man road and they declare that the
Hill road has never secured title to tn
right of way and that it is a tres
passer. The proposed lines cross and
reeross each other many times in the
900 miles they lie beside each other.
At points there is room for only one
track and in other places it will be
necessary for the rival companies to
operate through common tunnels.
