LUMBERMEN PROTEST.
Object to the Repeal of the Timber
and Stone ACt.s

In the Duluth Herald of the 9th inst,
is published the following special from
Washington:
Representative Bede has received a
number of protests from lumbermen and
Others in his district protesting against
the passage of the bill repeating the
timber and stone act, which is now be.
fore the house and senate committees on
public lands.
Representative Volstead of Minnesota.
who Is member of the house commit
tee, is in favor of tie bill, explaining
that the law has opened up way to the
fraudulent acquisition of valuable public
land.
He believes that after the law is re-
pealed new law can BIZ enacted provid-
ing for the disposal of timber and OF
land on which the timber is located.
Volstead believes also that with the pas
sage of new law, large bodies of land
now withdrawn for forest reserves will
be restored to entry.as the secretary took
the withdrawal method of proven ting
further frauds IN gaining control of
timber lands.
1t is probable the senate committee on
public lands will report bill to the SEN
ate for the repeal of the timber and
stone act which will contain a provision
authorizing the sale of timber on public
land. under the direction of the secretary
of agriculture instead of the secretary
of the interior, as at present. This
change is urged on the theory that titles
to timber lands will remain with the
government, the timber only to be dis.
posed of, as is now done with timber in
forest reserve. Operation of the law
under the proposed bill, will be under
the direction of the forest service. The
bill will carry a provision placing the
money derived from the sale of timber ir
the reclamation fund, with the exception
of 20 to Is per cent, which will go to the
counties in which the timber is located
for the maintenance of schools anc
roads.

Here is an English story: A fac.

then there was conspicuous relapse.
His employer rebuked him for not
sticking to his solemn agreement. But
the man, in good faith and with per-
feet gravity, explained, Il only took
the pledge in small village-quite a

A smoker can do without dining and
winning, they say, but he cannot do
without smoking. A Swedish captain
during the seven years war, deprived
of his beloved tobacco, filled his pipe
with straw. avowing that provided
only he could see the smoke rising
from his pipe beneath his nose he was
satisfied.

Commission Has an Agreement
With Hartman Official.
WHEAT RATE QUESTION HELD UP
Not Likely That Farmers Will Re.
ceive Reduction in Rates to
Sound This Year.

]. C. Lawrence, one of the members
Of the state railroad commission, who
ferring with shippers relative to the
request that the railroad be com
PEELED to give Walla Walla jobbers an
equal distributive rate with those ac-
corded Spokane, Portland, and Seattle
merchants, left last night for Port
land. H. A. Fairchild, chairman of
the board, remained over today and
completed some investigations as 10
rates that could not be covered
yesterday When Mr.. Fairchild re-
turns to Olympia a formal complaint
will be filed against the Hartman and
Hill roads in the competitive rate case
and an effort be made to bring the sub
ject to an issue at once.
1t seems to be the general belief
among those who are in a position to
ascertain the facts that the railroad
commission has made an agreement
with the railroads that the question of
lower freight rates from Eastern
Washington is not to be considered un-
til after the fall crop has been handled
this year. 1t is asserted that the ap
plication of the east side growers was
turned down because the commission
had an understanding with the Harri-
man road.
Will Grant Further Time.
In speaking of the subject, MI Fair
child said:
Unless definite answer is received
from the railways interested in the
joint wheat rate question within the
next two weeks formal hearing will
be called by the state railway COM
mission Oh the petition Of the Puget
sound millers and the growers of east
ern Washington.
1.-THE commission has strong reasons
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-02-10

to believe that the railways will agree
on the joint rate without the necessi-
ty Of a formal hearing When the
question was first presented to the
commission in the form of petition
from the millers of the Sound, and
later from the growers of Eastern
Washington, the commission, following
the policy adopted at the organization
of the board, first took the question up
with the railways in an effort to secure
an adjustment without going to trial.
We have been assured by the traffic
officials Of the railways that the mat
ter is being given careful considera-
ton. The question is one that involves
about 100000 annually to the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and
should not be taken up in too great a
hurry.
1.-THE commission agreed to give the
railroads time for careful considera-
ton before taking final action. If the
roads should ask for further time to
consider, the commission would be in
clined to grant such permission, but
if no word is received from the rail-
ways during the next two weeks a CT
tation will be issued for a hearing
More Petitions Filed.
More petitions have been received at
Olympia by the state railroad commits
sion asking for reduction in wheat
rates from $40 per ton to $40 per
ton. When the first petitions were re-
ceived the commission replied in an
open letter, stating that it would re-
quire petitioners to prepare proof that
the requested rates were reasonable.
within the supreme court decision
which fixed such rate as a reasonable
return upon the money invested in the
railroads, etc.
The petitions came from growers in
Walla Walla, Adams and Lincoln
counties, 269 names being appended to
the petitions.

SAFER, NOT FASTER.

Motor-car tests continue to turn
upon the question of speed. At Or
mond beach a car was driven over a
two-mile course-with flying start
in SIS AS seconds. Another made the
distance in second more. These
were freak results on a carefully pre-
pared course. They would be impos-
sible upon ordinary roads with curves
and grades. The game of speed is a
dangerous one, and as yet it contrib
utes as little as the ix-day endurance
races did to the value of the bicycle.
The problem before the builders of
automobiles is not the one of speed.
but of safety. To strengthen the ma
chine so that it will give a desirable
speed over ordinary roads without
too great susceptibility to accident is
to do more for automobiling than to
make a cigar shaped monstrosity in
which goggled individual, with only
his nose visible to the world. shall do
a mile in half a minute. But speed
tests bring more people to look at the
machines than safety tests, and there
fore they will continue to be a feature
of exhibitions patronized by manu-
facturers
The problem of speed. if speed Is
what is wanted, has been solved in
Germany. where trains have been
driven at 12o miles an hour bv electric

ROOSEELT FOR THE SENATE.

What to do with our ex-presidents Is
a question often discussed. We put
man at the mead Of the government
for four years, or sometimes eight
years. He gets prominence, influence,
experience, and then retires. Tradi-
ton and prejudice bar him from
| third consecutive term. THE dignity
that doth hedge about" president has
generally interfered with mis- going
into any active commercial or profess
sional pursuit when his term Of office
expires. He is simply on the shelf.
This isn't so bad when the presi-
dent is an old man. He may deserve
the rest and the country may suffer
nothing by the cessation of his activ-
tiles. But there are exceptions. The
odore Roosevelt is one of them. He is
a good deal of an exception. He will
be Just little more than 81 years old
when his present term of office ex-
pires. That he will not be a candidate
for reelection he has settled, finally.
That he will be content to vegetate is
unthinkable. 1t is intimated that he
may spend a little time in travel. He
would have a big time if he did. He is
the most widely known and the most
popular man in the world. Not even
the clever, somewhat democratic and
| kindly disposed gentleman who rules
over the British empire is more SO.
If Theodore Roosevelt should spend a
couple of years in travel and return
at the age of SO, ne would be just in
| his prime. There must be something
for him to do.
He has been talked Of for the presi-
dency of Harvard Some nave even
been foolish enough to suggest the
presidency of the Chicago university.
William E. Curtis says that he wants
to go to the senate. That sounds more
probable. While Mr.. Roosevelt would
undoubtedly add much to the pres
tige of the office as president of either
Harvard or Chicago university, he
could hardly be expected to be content
in position affording such limited
We would not have it inferred that
We regard a seat in the senate as iden-
teal with a life of energy, but it would
i afford a field of action much wider
and with greater possibilities than a
| university presidency. Besides, what
a splendid thing it would be to have
man like Mr.. Roosevelt in the sem
ate! How he would shake things up:
| If the people of New York could ever
| be induced to do themselves the credit,
| the honor, of getting rid of either Or
| both the senators who now misrep-
resent that state and send to the upper
| house of congress Theodore Roosevelt,
the benefit resulting would not fall
alone upon New York but upon the
whole country. The influence of such
a man in the senate upon senate meth
DDS would be felt in every state in the
union. Teddy for the senate is the
right thing. After he has spent four
years shaking up the dry bones there,
the people can put him in the White
| House for another eight years if they
| wish.

power. Steam engines have pulled
trains in this country at ninety miles
an hour; but when people travel they
try to make sure they are not on that
kind of a train.
PROFESSIONALLY the motor car has
come to stay, but speed tests and vio-
lent deaths in over-driven cars do
nothing to bring it into more general
use. They serve rather to retard its
adoption by the conservative portion
of the community, which, having many
things to live for, prefers a long life
to a quick passage.

The excessive and indiscriminatt
use of medicines, in these days, can.
not be too strongly condemned. The
food you eat, if properly digested. is
all the tonic you need.
Only common sense is needed. The
food must be digested and the bowels
must not be allowed to clog. Pre-.
serve your health by preventing these
conditions.
Constipation surely leads to indi.
gestion, biliousness, etc., and these
conditions when neglected affect the
condition Of the blood, debilitate the
system, rendering it susceptible to
more serious ailments, and less able
to resist such attacks.
If your stomach has been abused by
over-eating, weakened by drugs OF
sickness, you won't have to stop eat
ing or diet yourself All you need Is
something that will aid the stomach
in it's functions and relieve it from
being constantly irritated by un-
digested food. The purest and sim
plest remedy for this purpose are the
California Prune Waters, natural
dissolvent made from the pure, fresh
fruit, general laxative and sweetener
of the stomach-no other medicine is
necessary.
When you are Bilious, it is sign
that your Liver is out of order, and
the poisonous bile, instead of being
excreted from the body through the
intestines, is taken up in the blood
AS a result of biliousness, the entire
system suffers. There are gripping
pains in the Abdomen, Headaches
