Mr.. Tourist Tells Spouse She Can

Washington Monument was the scene
Of a family row yesterday morning. It
started at the door OF the huge struc-
ture, and lasted until the participants
reached the very top.
Mrs. Tourist wanted to take the ele

all started. But it was evident that he
had been the ruler of the family for

replied her husband. He finally per-
suaded her to walk a little farther,
after telling her that she could see the
State of Kansas from one Of the
windows.
You can see our house from here if
you look very hard" he said.
After this he had little trouble in
making his wife go to the top of the
manument. But she could not see any
signs of her native State, and finally
told him that she would not go down
until he got a pair of field glasses, if
he had to go to town and buy them.
There was another fuss. and it ended
with Mr.. Tourist going down in the
elevator, leaving his wife looking out

CHANGE QUARANTINE RULES
To Prevent Spread of Contagious
Diseases Among Cattle.

The regulations established by the De
partment of Agriculture to prevent the
spread of contagious diseases among cat
tie are to be amended so as to conform
to a recent decision of the Supreme Court,
which held invalid certain orders issued
under the quarantine law of 1893, because
they interfered with the domestic COM
merce Of the States.
The present regulations are based on
the law of 1905, upon which the court did
not pass. but in one particular they are
subject to the same objection. This is
the provision for preventing the shipment
of cattle from one part of a State only,
which the court held was an infringement
Of the powers of a State 10 control its
own commerce.
Secretary Wilson will, therefore, shortly
issue an order changing the quarantine
regulations so that where only a portion
of a state is infected the State authori-
ties will be held responsible for prevent
ing the movement of live stock between
the ouarantined and the nonquarantined
part of the State.

city. Although final action has not beea
taken, Engineer Commissioner Biddle
yesterday made the following Endorsement
on the papers: "A traction engine as
usually constructed, drawing a number Of
cars, would, as a rule, be a source of
great danger, and do not think should
be permitted under any circumstances.
but before definitely deciding against the
application, this Office would like TO know
the style of traction engine proposed to
be Ssed, the motive power, character of

weight Of the engine. and weight of the
cars which it would draw, loaded and IN

Hay situation Serious.

There has been another rise in the
price of hay. Alfalfa sold today for
$l2 in the bale or SO in the stack.
This is almost war time prices, but
those who have not laid I'm in a win
ter supply yet will have to pay more
before spring. The $50 mark may be
reached before the first of the year
and It may be that by spring there
will be such a scarcity that even the
high price will be passed.
There is now n heavy demand for
hay in this city and other places along
the valley. 1t is said by hay raisers
that the demand has doubled in the
last year in the Yakima valley alone
With n big demand from the Sound
there will in all probability be some
skirmishng before long for the avail
able product of the valley.
There was a light crop this year and
the flood came ON top of ii and ruined
hundreds of tons. How much has
been damaged by the water cannot yet
be estimated, but If reports are cor
rect the amount will I've greater than
anybody anticipates. The loss is most
ly I'm the districts where the hay was
in the lowlands and became soaked
with water.
With no grass this fall on account
of the long drouth and the stockmen
compelled to feed earlier than usual,
with the possibility of keeping it up
till spring, the hay supply began to
dwindle before many people began to
realize the actual conditions in the
Yakima valley.
1t is predicted that before the mid
die of the winter there will not be
enough hay left in the valley to last
till spring. 1t is said the stock on
hand at present is not half enough to
supply the market emands.-Yakima

VIII Tie Up for the Winter.

When asked this morning concern
ing the reports that the Open River
Associations steamer Relief. which
has been running on the upper river
carrying freight to the portage, would
stop today, Agent Eastwood, of the
Spencer line, said that II would be inn
possible for a few days as there Is yet
quite lot of freight to be handled
On the trip up Friday evening the
Spencer carried 65 tons of miscellane-
Gus freight to the portage and there
are yet 45 tons to be brought up. No
more freight will. however, be re-
ceived for up-river points as before
many weeks the river will be in no
condition for the boats to run. The
report that there is already floating
ice in the river is unfounded
Practically the entire grain crop has
been brought down, which reduces the
business on the upper river so that It
Is not necessary to run boats at that
end. There are now $1,000 sacks
waiting at the portage to be brought
down, and the amount would have
been a good deal larger IL the flood
OF last week had not done so much
