DEPEW DENIES THAT HE WILL RESIGN
Camp of Designing Politicians of
New York.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Politicians
were interested in the announcement
that Chauncey NJ. Depew desired to
give public notice of the fact that he
had no intention of resigning from the
United States senate or dying On the
contrary, his spokesman declared that
his health had greatly improved, that
he was practically over his attack of
nervous prostratiOn, brought on by
overwork in the senate, and that he in
tended to complete the year by a trip
to Europe. When he returns he hopes
to resume his work in Washington, as
well as his social duties.
This news brought a chill to the
hearts of several politicians who have
seen in the junior senator's misfor-
tunes a possible entrance for them
selves.

INTERNATIONAL Law SAVES DOGS
Russian Consul's PoodIes Taken by
Dog Catcher and Come Near
Meeting Death.

CHICAGO, July 13. international
law and diplomacy interceded today
and saved aristocratic French poodles
from an untimely death at the dog
pound.
The dogs belonged to Baron Schlip
Pembeck, Russian consul. They were
playing in the vicinity of his residence
early yesterday when an overzealOus
dog catcher hove in sight and lasoed
them. The dogs were carried off to the
dog pound and incarcerated with other
strays.
When the son of the public keeper
for the consul appeared, the pound
master refused to release the dogs, and
a visit to the city hall was necessary
to obtain a pardon for the animals.
Abraham Merrinbaum gave the con-
surs messenger card, as follows:
international law compels us to rec
ognize this request without question.
Surrender these dogs at once"

addressed to w. w. Sparks, prosecut-
ing attorney of Clarke county, Attorney

HARD WORK DONE FOR FARMER
About $11,ooo,ooo Is Spent by the Ae
ricultural. Department to Show
Him How.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Secretary
Wilson computes that it would require
an investment of $55O,OOO, 900 at 3 per
cent to produce revenue enough to run
the department of agriculture for one
year. This shows what is being done
for the farmer. The income to the de-
partment, including forest reserves and
public printing. is a little more than
$11,000,0O0 a year.
When the new meat inspection law.
the work of eXterminating the cattle
fever tick and the gypsy and brown
tailed moth. and the investigation of
dry land farming have been put in
operation the department will have a
payroll of over 5000 persons. About
half of these are scientists trained
along special lines. The average salary
is lass than $500 a year.
Over 100000 pieces of literature
are circulated each year. and this
amount will be greatly increased as
new lines of investigation are begun.
One of the new lines provided for
this year is grain inspection. and this
promises to be one of the largest fields
of scientific labor

piled to the rates in a lesser degree
probably, than to Puget Sound local
rates.
The railroad commission is willing
to recognize the question of water COM
petition in the new rates. The noun
tain haul is also recognized as more
expensive than the carrying trade in
level stretches. Just what allowance
will be made on that score is unde-
cided, but in a general way the COM
mission demands the new distance
tariffs level all rates in the state, ex-
cept those where water competition is
a factor in rate making.
No Change From East.
1t is not very probable there will be
any concessions made by the northern
lines in the haul from eastern termin-
ais to Spokane and other interior
points. The matter is one over which
the state commission has no jurisdic-
ton.
The joint rate on coarse grain and
hay, sought by Bellingham, will be put
into effect by the Great Northern and
o. r. & N. without further controversy.
The o. r. & n. and Northern Pacific
will also issue a new schedule Of rates
affecting the Walla Walla distributing
trade. But it will be some time before
general revision of other rates Oc-
ours.

CHICAGO, July THE board of di-
rectors of the Chicago Commercial as
ISOLATION today received report of a
special committee on the subject of a
deep waterway from the great lakes to
the gulf
The report shows the project to be
entirely feasible. The cost Of the work
from Lockport to the Mississippi is
estimated at $27,OOO,OOO, not including
the 100000 to be spent by Chicago
between here and Lockport.
The committee recommends that the
federal government take over the work
in consideration of handing over the
present drainage canal, which has cost
$50, 900, 900.
1t is strongly urged in the report that
the government be asked to accept this
offer and it is pointed out that when the
facts of the case are known throughout
the widdle west there will be a popular
cutlery for such waterway.
Steps will be taken at once by the
Commercial association to lay the
matter before congress and other cities
and states which will be benefited by
the waterway will be asked to lend
the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota, North and South
South American republics, which pur-
chase $4O,OOO,OOO per annum from this
country The Mexican and Central
American trade will also be increased.

TOO BIG FOR COMMISSION
Railroads Must Work Out New
Distance Tariff
WILL SUBMIT SHEETS TO THE BOARD
THE MEMBERS STEER CLEAR OF
POSSIBILITY OF OFFENDING
COMMERCIAL MEN.
WILL SUBMIT SHEETS TO The BOARD

The railroads themselves will work
out the new distance tariffs the state
railroad commission has demanded. II
will probably take several weeks to
work off all the rough edges and get
the new schedule of rates into shape
for use, but the commission is in no
hurry and will allow the traffic officials
to take all the necessary time.
The further into the distance tariff
problem the commission has gone, the
more serious and complex the problem
has been found. The commission wants
to fix new distance tariffs affecting all
that rail traffic not Influenced by wa
ter competition. There may have to be
exceptions to such a ruling, but the
commission has not yet discovered
them.
A general leveling of the tariffs on
the distance basis would wipe out all
the exceptions granted by the roads in
favor Of jObbing centers. Insofar as
Spokane is concerned, the railroad
commission has shown no concern over
such a result There is a disposition to
make that city suffer, and if the COM
mission could work out the problem
itself with only a blow at Spokane to
explain away, the order would be

Conditions Are Difficult,

Railroad conditions in this state are
remarkable. 1t is questionable whether
there is another state that combines so
many problems the traffic men and the
commission have to meet. 1t is not of
immediate consequence, but with the
ultimate opening of the upper Column
bia and Snake rivers the roads will
meet water competition at many new
points in the state
There are long stretches of COMPARE
lively level haul, where construction
and operating costs are reduced to a
minimum. But maximum mountain
grades of % per cent on both the Hill
lines shut off east and west side ship
pers.
Courts have upheld the roads in the
contention that they are to consider the
cost of construction and operation in
fixing tariffs. The obvious excessive
cost of mountain construction and tun-
mel DullulnS, Win noaVy operating
charges across the heavy grades, makes
a tariff applicable to sections in east
ern Washington entirely out of the
question if applied to a mountain di-
vision.
In the Puget Sound country water
competition is met at important points.
While it does not actually exist to a
serious extent, water competition must
be considered between Puget Sound
and Gray's Harbor, Willapa harbor or
Columbia river points. Excessive rail
rates would promptly result in boat
lines being established and the princi-
pie of water competition must be ap-

Danger in Revision.

AS the commission has gone into the
distance tariff problem it has assumed
serious consequences. The radical re-
vision of the tariffs proposed at first
would upset the commercial conditions
of the entire state and would bring
down upon the commission the severe
criticism of all jobbing interests. An
absolute leveling of tariffs would wipe
out trade territory and the jobbers
would be long time adjusting them
selves to the new conditions.
All this would be certain to raise a
storm and the commission saw the
blow coming up. Efforts were made to
readjust the schedules, but each re-
of political retribution, and the COM
mission took refuge behind the fact
after all, knew more about rates than
the commissioners. So the commission
ii1S pdosoCO up lil6 ploDlSlll " TIE lTdl-
fic men and will sit in review of their
findings. Whatever of good there is
in the result, the commission will pro-
claim as an original discovery.
While the railroad men will not go
into details regarding recent confer
ences, it is an open secret that the
attitude of the commission has been
that the loss of a few hundred thou
sand dollars a year in revenue to the
roads has not worried the commission.
SO long as thisSwas the only conse-
quence considered, tariff making was a
pleasure, but when the effect upon job
bling centers came into view the COM

Does Not Voice American Opinion.
There is not much likelihood that
Americans will indorse President
Roosevelt's startling views regarding
the Japanese For this reason his
amazing message to congress will GER
tainly prove a boomerang and hurt
him more than the citizens 1t is
aimed at.
The President in this incident re-
minds MS of the celebrated juryman
who disagreed with his eleven col
leagues and complained he had never
seen eleven such obstinate mules In
his life; there was no way of bring
ing them round to his way of think
ing. President Roosevelt is In the
same class. He has absorbed all the
wisdom there is, and every one who
does not agree with his views Is an
obstinate ignoramus.
IL is the importance OF the issue
at stake that makes his outbreak par
ticularly regrettable. Japan would
make huge mistake were It to imag'
inc that the President in his last
message voices American public opin
ion. In this particular case he speak
solely for himself
American public opinion, on the

A Public Utility Experiment.

A fuDliC tbihy nABNihhc"t'
One of the most remarkable in
uances of extravaganza in the ad-
nnlstration Of government-owned
utilities in this state was in connec-
lion with the recent purchase of mo-
= lor omnibuses for use as adjuncts to
4 me tram service. One of the railway
4 commissioners returned from a trip
10 England impressed with the idea
4 that II would be an excellent plan to
\ bring out several of the vehicles, and
put them in service in Sydney. He
convinced his colleagues OF the mer-
. rs Of the scheme- as he saw them,
. but the tram officials protested
against the proposed purchase and
asserted that motor omnibuses could
not be used to advantage here, re-
urdless of how satisfactory they had
been shown to be in England. In
the face of their opposition. however,
the commissioners imported four
chassis, the bodies being built in local
shops. Two of the vehicles were
used from December 4. 1905 to April
7, 1906. and were then withdrawn.
The other two were in service from
April 23, 1906, to May 29th of the
same year, when they, too, were re-
tired.
The cost of the omnibuses was
H5,5SS and the total expense OF
helr operation during the brief per-
ds indicated was $964S, making a
grand total expenditure on their ae-
count OF s35,236. The total revenue
vas exactly e557, or $267S. The
vehicles are now in storage, ana
there Is no thought of using them
again. The net result of the expert
ment was total loss L-ls.the taXpay-
