ATTACK Commission
0. R. & n. BRINGS SUIT FOR
INJUNCTION.
Constitutionality Of the Washing-
ton State Railway Commission
Law Alleged in Suit to Enjoin
the Enforcement of the Joint
Wheat Rate Order.

Seattle, Aug. 22.-The constitution
ality of the Washington state railway
commission is under fire in q suit
brought yesterday in the United States
district court for an Injunction to re-
strain the commission from ENFORCING
its recent ruling in regard to the joint
wheat rate. It is claimed that only
the state legislature has power to fix
maximum tariffs.
The suit is brought by the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company.
The Northern Pacific, the Great North.
ern and the Washington & Columbia
River railways are named as defend.
ants in the action along with the mem
bers of the state railway commission
and the attorney general of Washing
ton.
The matter will come up for its first
hearing September 8. In the mean
time the commission is prevented by
temporary restraining order from en-
forcing its joint wheat tariff order.
In addition to the alleged incompe-
tency to interfere with the rates, the
commission and its recent order estab-
fishing joint wheat tariff are at
tackled on the grounds that the joint
wheat rate will interfere with inter-
state commerce.; that it is practically
class legislation; that the order is in
termediate, and that it will work ir-
reparable damage to the Oregon Rail.

TROOPS in REVIEW
fine MILITARY SPECTACLE AT
AMERICAN LAKE.
Pageant Witnessedby Ten Thou
sand People, and Was One of
the Finest Spectacular Affairs
Ever Offered the People of
this Section of the Country.

Camp Tacoma, Aug. 2O.-Before
some 200 or 10, 900 spectators Briga-
der General Frederick Funston yes
terday reviewed the troops of his COM
mand in Camp Tacoma. The soldiers,
consisting of cavalry. artillery and in
fantry, regulars and militia, to the
number Of about 6, 600, passed in re-
view order before the general and his
staff at noon on the ground to the
south of the Country club.
The review provided one of the fin
es. spectacular affairs ever witnessed
bv the people of this section of the
country. The troops participating in
the review were in khaki uniforms and
light marching order. They were re-
viewed in brigade formation, the COL
ors of each regiment being carried
after the first battalion and before the
second. As each organization passed
the general and his staff the officers
saluted and the colors were dipped,
the salutes being returned by the gen.
eral and his staff.
The review field is about two miles
souare and the troops marched around
this square, which was surrounded by
crowds of spectators. 1t took just one
hour for the five brigades to march
past and for the artillery and cavalry
bripades to ride past at the trot and
gallop.
Many Handsome Horses.
The infantry regiments marched in
company formation, with the compa-
ny officers commanding at the head Of
their respective companies, and the
regimental officers commanding and
the officers of the regimental stats at
the head of their organizations. A
noticeable feature of the review was
the large number of fine horses ridden
by the officers of the different regi-
ments, both regulars and militia.
When each of the infantry regi-
ments had passed the review stand the
men broke into the double, followed
by their bands, and moved rapidly
out of sight.
The weather was fine and the dust
not so unpleasant as might have been
expected. The wind was blowing from
the north, and this drove the dust
raised by the troops away from the re-
view stand, and 80 prevented it from
obscuring the spectators view of the
soldiers.
The review closes the first week of
the encampment and incidentally
marks the conclusion of the stay in
camp of all the state troops with the
exception of the Oregon national
guard, which organization will re-
main in camp until Wednesday, par
ticipating in the work Of the next two
days.
Yesterdays review was successful in
every way. The troops appeared to be
in fine condition and presented an i'm
posing military spectacle as they
marched past the commanding officer.
There we're no accidents to mar the
occasion, and the civilian crowd was
as orderly as the soldiers themselves.

Dresses of Spiders Web.

The worm is proverbially the last Of
created things to turn against the
tyranny Of those who seek to coerce it,
and the silkworm is evidently no ex-
ception to the rule, for 1t has for ages
been patiently laboring to crafty hui
man vanity. Not so the spider, how
ever, whose beautiful silk has not yet
been similarly applied simply because
that willy beast refuses to work to Or
der. But determined onslaught upon
his pride and prejudices has been made
in Madagascar, where regular factory
has been started to make silk dresses
from spider web.
The old difficulty has still to be faced.
however, and time alone will show
whether man or the spider Is to be the
victor. The spiders, which spin lux
uriously in their native groves, sulk or
fight Or devour their young or other
wise amuse themselves when brought
to the factory; but they will not work
except just occasionally when the mood
happens to strike them. Then they
sometimes spin for days ut time and
die Of overwork. Their habits and
customs are being carefully studied,
and II only they will do what Is re-
uuired Of them they will be made al
comfortable as circumstances will per-
NIT.
Altogether it il the prettiest little
parlor perhaps the spider may yet be
induced to walk in and favor the pro-
prietor with those silk dresses for
which the world is waiting.-ChamberS

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Increase of Nearly Three Million Days
During Past Year.

Olympia, Aug. 22.-School children
in the state of Washington put in an
aggregate Of 22,7O7,sO5 days attend
ance during the school year ended
June 80 last, as compared with an ag-
greagte of but 19, 918, 1898 for the pre-
vious year.
This is one of the features of the
compilation being made at the Office
of the state superintendent from the
annual report of the several county
superintendent. A gratifying feature
of the reports is showing that, while
thesgain in actual attendance has been
ATS, 3O7 days, the increase in allowed
attendance, which is the basis for ap-
portioning the state school funds has
bee but 1,571,881.
Under the provisions of the state
barefoot boy" school bill the stronger
districts have been compelled to help
out the weaker ones. Thus country
districts. where the actual attendance
in year would run, say, to but 200
days, under the law must each be al
lowed q minimum Of 1000 days at
tendance, when the state funds are ap-
portioned. Thus the previous year,
with an actual attendance Of less than
20, 600, 900, school funds were appor-
toned on basis of allowed attend
ance of 22,2448,59. The last year,
ending June 50, 1905. allowed attend
ance aggregates but 23, 1917, 740, which
shows a considerable decrease in the
p roportion of allowance, considering
the growth of school population. It
means that the smaller districts are
having greater actual attendance.
