English Tonnage Exceeds by Far Al
Others Entering Those Ports.
Washington, Feb. 81 Consul Gen.
eral Field, at Valparaiso, in a report to
the State department, says that out o;
a totsl of II, 7,000,000 annual tonnage OF
vessels entering Chilean ports, those
flying the American flag represented
only 1875, 900 TONS Great Britain 8
flag covered 5000, 900 tons, and Ger
man ships aggregated 3,000,000 tons.
The trade of the United States fell back
from $ll 900, 900 in 1908 to $40 900,
900 in 1904, Notwithstanding Chile
greatly increased her purchases.
The Chilean government, the consul

LAW WILL NOT STAND.

Bill to Restrict Giving of Free Rides
by Railways Not Properly Drawn.
Salem - The anti. pass law initiated
by the Peoples Power league is minus
an enacting clause, and is therefore
void.
The constitution expressly provides
that all laws initiated by the people
shall contain the enacting clause, "Be
it enacted by the people Of the state
of Oregon The copy OF the bill filed
with the secretary of state has no such
clause.
The discovery was made when Secre-
tary Dunbar sent the bill to the state
printer, preparatory to having 100. 900
copies printed for distribution among
the voters of the state.
Attorney General Crawford says the
secretary of state cannot permit any one
to correct this defect, because each of
the 5000 or more petitioners signed
the bill in it's present form. He rules
that the secretary has no authority to
change it or to allow any one else to
amend it, but that he must submit it
a. it came to him from the petitioners.
The supreme court has held in the
case of the state VS.. Wright, 14th Ore
gon, page 375, that the deliberate omis-
sion of an enacting clause is fatal de-
feet.
The discovery of this error brought
to light the fact that there is no enact
ing clause or formal declaration of any
kind on any of the bills for amend
ments to the state constitution, for
which petitions are on file. This ap.
plies to the woman's suffrage amend
ment, as we'll as to the amendments
submitted by the Peoples Power league
It has not been determined whether
his omission makes the amendments
7oid or not.
The officials are looking up authori.
les. No authority has been found to
Illow the secretary of state to refuse to
ubmlt measure to vote of the peo-
lie, even though it may contain defects {
which make it void on its face, provid-
ID the bill or amendment comes to him
With the proper number OF signatures.

COMMERCE STILL INCREASES.
Large Advance IN Exports and Inn
ports for Fiscal Year.

ports for Fiscal Year.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The foreign
commerce of the United States during
the first seven months OF the fiscal year
1906 amounted to $1,752, ,421 $3.50, ac-
cording to bulletin issued by the de-
partment of Commerce and Labor.
This shows considerable increase in
both imports and exports, but more es-
pecially in exports over the correspond
ing months Of 1905.
In the seven months ending with
January, imports have increased $7O,-
900, 900, and exports have increased
$l55. 100000. Imports during the
seven months ended with January,
1906, were t699. 7f4, 500, and exports
were 81 ,056, ,656, 764. The increase in

1t is thought the letters result from
an order prohibiting the employment

the safety of the other miners was en-

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
MANY CLAIM WATER.
Numerous Filings on Oregon Streams
Recorded at Salem.

Numerous Filings on Oregon Streams
Recorded at Salem.
Salem-The numerous filings that
ave been made on the waters of rivers
and mountain streams for power pur-
poses in this state during the past year,
have awakened interest in the ques.
tion of the electrical possibilities Of
Oregon.
Many of the power projects have good
financial backing. The majority of the
recent filings, indeed, are said to eman-
ate from the same source.
The doctrine of beneficial use which
it is desired to apply to the waters in
all streams of Oregon is responsible for
much of the activity displayed of late.
As the law stands, any one can file on
water for power purposes, and by doing
a small amount of work each year can
prevent any one else from appropriate
ing or using the water. This rule ap-
plies to irrigation and a movement is
on foot to change the law 60 that no
man can appropriate more water for ir-
rigation purposes than he can put to
good use. State regulation of the flow
and distribution of all waters is fast be.
coming principle of law in all the arid
land states. To regulate abuses and
prevent their repitition, the leading
waterusers are preparing to urge numer-
GUS changes in the law, so that the
ownership of the waters in all streams
and lakes shall vest in the state, for
the use and benefit OF the people.
If this is done, it will be necessary
to make careful surveys and measure
the flow of all streams that the water
may be equitably distributed.

are looking forward to an unusually
good yield of wheat this year. 1t is re-

that the indications in that country

The grain is iii better shape now than
for several years at this season. The
ground has plenty of moisture, and
frost would not do any great amount of
damage should the temperature take
another drop.

CLEVELAND AND NEW YORK.

Chicago. Oct 1.-The Chicago
American league club became the
winner OF the pennant for 1906 when
both games of a. double header at ST.

called off on account of wet grounds.
while Philadelphia and New York

New York team can do is to win the
remaining three games, in which
event they will finish second, Just one
half a game behind the pennant win
ners.
Only one game separates Cleveland
and New York for second place.
Cleveland has four games more TO

Cut Her IOO-Candle Cake.

Surrounded by four generations
of her family and at least fifty de-
scendants, Mrs. Margaret Carpenter
celebrated Thursday night her Tooth
birthday at the home of her son-in-
law, Elias l.. Hull, 1902 Gates ave-
nue., Brooklyn. None appeared to
be more active or took more notice
of what was going on around her
than did the centenarian. When the
orchestra struck up a waltz Mrs.
Carpenter took the initiative and
gracefully spun around the room
with her 13-year-old great-grandson,
Herbert L. Hull, Jr., for a partner.
A feature of the feast was a huge
cake with 100 pink and white can
dies. The aged woman's hand was
steady as she cut the cake and gave
a piece Of II to each guest. She In
vited all to be present next year
when she would give as souvenirs
pieces of her own handiwork. -

Democracy and challenged his enc
miessto attack his record. ~ ~
Governor Beckham on taking the
floor regretted the necessity of con-
Quoting such a fierce fight as Is be-
ing waged within the ranks of the
Democratic party; bur ne said Sena-
tor McCreary and General Hays
have attacked the administration
and he must defend it.
He then took up the arguments
and criticisms of senator McCreary,
beginning with the latter's claims
based on his record of four years in
the executive chair, ending Septem-
Der /, 1879. Senator McCreary re-
duced the tax rate from 45 to 40
cents; but Governor Beckham said
he hurt the states credit and threw
the departments into such financial
confusion that his successor asked
the legislature to restore the five
cents. The rate is now so cents, but
the governor defends the rate on
the ground of Improvements ana ex-
tension in the states work and re-
sponsibilities since 1879.
Senator McCreary claims he in
troduced the agricultural depart
ment and the geological survey; but
Governor Beekham said the depart
ment of agriculture was useless I'M
til his administration took 1t in
hand, strengthened it and increased
its appropriation, while the abandon
ed geological survey was revived by
his administration.
He said he had been attacked be-
cause he signed the dog law but he
found that Senator McCreary during
his term had signed two of them.
He then entered into an elabo-
rate exposition of what his admins
tration has done for the state, and
took up the attacks of General Hays.
In regard to the building of the new
capitol, he said he had used the
same methods employed in the con
struction of all public buildings and
paid the same commissions. He
claimed that the architect advocated
by General Hays had defrauded the
state of Texas out of thousands of
dollars.
He closed with an eulogy for Pa
ducah and the ladies.
He left at noon today in a launch
for Smithland, where he speaks this
afternoon.

a Tall Tree Yarn.

Scott Cummins, the poet Of Win

puncher in the northwest many years
ago. His outfit came to Snake river

with a poets license, relates what
happened:
"The river was too dangerous for
swimming, but after following the
