Washington, May 6. = President

on railroad rate legislation in a tele-

of the Pennsylvania state grange. The
telegram follows:
Washington, May 6.
"W. F. Hill and Members Legislative
Committee, Pennsylvania State
Grange, Harrisburg, Pa:
Telegram received. 1 am happy to
tell you that not only am I standing
on my original position as regards rate
legislation, but it seems likely that con-
gress will take this position too. The
Hepburn rate bill meets my views, as
/ have from the beginning stated The
Allison amendment is only declaratory
of what the Hepburn bill must mean
supposing it to be constitutional, and
no genuine friend of the bill can object
to it without stultifying himself.
'In addition l should be glad to gel
certain amendments such as those
commonly known as the Long and
Overplan amendments, but they are
not vital and even without them the
Hepburn bill with the Allison amend
ment contains practically exactly what
1 have both originally and always since
asked for, and if enacted into law II
will represent the longest step ever yet
taken in the direction Of solving the
railway rate problem.

WOUNDED BY A BOTB
HIS ATDE-DE-CAMP, SENTRY AND
THE ASSASSIN ARE
KILLED.

GOveFnor General of Moscow ON Way to
Palace When the Deadly MKssive is
HuSled at His Carriage-By Chang
Ing His Route He Ran Into the Very
Peril He Was Seeking to AvOid7-
Thrown From His Carriage and
Under the Horses Heels.
Moscow, May ga bomb was thrown
at the carriage of Vice Admiral Dou-
bassoff, governor general of Moscow,
as he was being driven to the palace
to-day. He was wounded in the foot
and his aide -de-camp and a sentry
were killed. The man who threw the
bomb was also killed. He wore an Of
ficers unioform. Access to the palace
is baller.
Governor General Doubassoff was re-
turning i'm an open carriage from the
Uspensk cathedral, and the outrage
took place outside the carriage en-
trance to his palace. Several bystand-
ers were injured.
According to the route decided upon
in advance the governor general should
have returned to the palace by the side
entrance; but during the drive he
changed his route and thereby ran into
the peril he was seeking to avoid.
Vice Admiral Doubassoff's life was
saved by the poor aim Of his would-be
assassin. The bomb exploded on the
pavement several PAGES to the rear OF
his carriage, hurting the mutilated
corpse Of the terrorist several yards
backward and tearing off one arm and
the face of an aide, who was descend
ing from the carriage. Governor Dou-
bassoff was thrown from his carriage
and under the horses heels. His back
was burned and his leg bruised, but
he was able to walk unassiste into the
palace.
The coachman's skull was fractured
and he was taken to a hospital.
1t rs thought the assassin was the
student in whose rooms bomb ex-
ploded Saturday. killing three ac-
complies, but who at the time was
watching the palace from a room in
the hotel opposite.

Make Grain Bags of Flax Fiber.

Apropos of the high priced wheat
sacks this season, and of the agitation
relative to state jute mill, there is a
belief at the Oregon experiment station
that the situation might be materially
aided by encouraging faxseed produc-
ton. The fibre from the fax straw
would furnish material for grain bags
and hop cloth, the seed would go for oil
and certain of the by-products could be
used in the manufacture of paper.
DR.. Withycomte is of the opinion that
such plan would go long way in aid
of the solution Of the present situation
and at the same time establish useful
and very profitable industry. He said:
"There is no doubt that the Willamette
valley will produce as fine flax fibre as
can be grown in the world. Out of this
possibility there ought to be means
of aiding the solution of the grain sack
and hop cloth question. The fibre from
the flax straw, if grown course enough,
would be a good substitute for jute as
raw material for grain sacks.
1.-THE jute production is in the hands of
trust, and we shall probably continue
to be at the mercy of the corporation.
The production of flax as substitute
would be in the hands of the farmers.
By introducing varieties of flax that
will yield heavily, course straw in large
quantities, it is possible to obtain a
yield of 500 to 1000 pounds of flax per
acre. The seed has its own value in the
oil mills and here is by-product of
value to the paper mills. The by-prod-
uct from the seed, largely increased as
it would be, would be of inestimable
value to the dairy interests of the state. "
"Out of this combination of products
an industry might be inaugurated that
would be quite profitable to those who
engage in it. ALBANY Journal.

Coal Enough to Last a Century.

There is 400. square miles of coal
land in Coos County, principally about
Marshfeld, according to the Coos Bay
folio of the United States Geological
survey From Marshfield the coal area
extends north miles, east 6 miles,
south % miles and west 9 miles to the
Pacific Ocean.
There are four veins, the first three
and one-half feet thick, the second
seven feet, the third 10 feet, and the
fourth from A to feet.
Coos county, has 5000, 100000 tons
OF coal. taking an average of only two
feet THE. -ess. While Pennsylvania
mines 70, O0J, d6Jlons Of anthracite per
year this Marshfield body of:.coal, even
if mined at that rate would last over
10 years. Should Coos county exhaust
her coal in hunered years Curry
county has enough coal area to quad
ripple that of Coos, so southern Oregon
cannot mine her coal in 500 years, even
if the Pennsylvania fields shut down
and the entire country draw its supply
from southern Oregon.
w. S. Chandler, vice president and
general manager of the Coos Bay,
Roseburg & Eastern Railroad &..,Nav-
igation Company, now..the Southern
Pacific, is the best authority on coal in
this section for he is not only engaged
IN mining and shipping coal, but he has
gathered fund of scientific knowledge
from his association with the govern
ment gelogists and surveyors who COM
piled the Coos county folio.
Mr.. Chandler gave the coal area at
400 square miles, divided into three
separate basins, the Newport, Beaver
Slough and the Coquille basins, the
largest of these is the Beaver Slough
basin and the smallest the Newport
basin.
