AWAIT OUTCOME OF SEVERAL SUITS
IMPORTANT POINTS INVOLVED IN
ACTIONS COMING BEFORE IN
TERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION.

Except where there is pressing ne
cessity for action the railroads will
name no new tariffs in this state I'M
til litigation pending in the state and
federal courts and before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has de-
fined the right Of the roads to fix new
rates. says the Seattle Times. Most Of
the imported points affecting rates are
involved in the litigation pending be-
fore state or federal courts.
The O. r. & N. is suing to prevent
the enforcement of the joint rate on
wheat ordered by the commission after
the Colfax hearing. Until the question
is settled no action can be taken by the
roads that would affect the hauling Of
grain from o. r. & N. territory.
At the Walla Walla hearing the rail-
road commission arbitrarily ordered
on wheat. There was no hearing on
this question, but Harry Fairchild,
who lives at Bellingham, threw in the
Bellingham terminal rate as a sort of
background to the other things the
commission did or attempted to do.
When the Walla Walla distributing
rates appeared there was tackled on,
like a codicil, the last thought of the
commission that railroad rates within
the state should not be raised above
the present charges. The commission
compromised with the railroads on the
rates that should be given Walla WAL
la for it's distributing trade. Then it
occurred to the commissioners that the
roads might harmonic the Spokane
rates, which were acknowledged to be
bit of patchwork and badly in need
of revision. In the revising the COM
missioners were fearful lest the roads
should raise some charges and they
knew such action would have bad
effect politically, so the commission
built wall around the present rates
and insisted that the roads should re-
gard them as a maximum charge and
not change them without the commits
siOns authority. The railroads went
into court over the question.
Are Coming to Time.
Spokane is fighting before the inter-
state commerce commission for termi-
nal rates and the mill interests are
threatening to bring at any time &C
lions before the interstate commerce
commission and the courts to compel
the roads to furnish cars, pay damages
for not furnishing cars and incident
ally to forfeit their charter because
they have not acted satisfactorily to-
ward the car shortage.
Being surrounded entirely by law
suits, the railroad traffic men find that
it is almost impossible to do anything
but reduce a few isolated rates, and
no one seems to have interest enough
in those scattered tariffs that have es-
capped attention the roads are merely
drifting. This reacts uponi the ship
pers who are continually asking for a
revision of features Of the tariffs to
move big shipments or to enable them
to exploit new trade. It is not ex-
pected, though, that the roads will take
any new action on rates until the pend
ng fights are settled.

TO Be A BIG UNDERTAKING
Commissioner for Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition Says Outlook Is Bright
For Huge Affair.

Godfrey Chealander, special COM
missioner for the Alaska YukOn-Pa-
citic exposition, who is touring the
state in the interest of the eXpOsi-
ton, looking up material to be used in
the press bureau with which to ad-
vertise for the next three years the
state of Washington. arrived in the
city yesterday morning and is register
ed at the Dacres.
position, Mr.. Chealander said:
1T is the most momentuOus under
taking for the state of Washington as
whole that has taken place in the
history of the state. The 1909 fair will
bring an influx of visitors by the
thousands from all over the United
States, Canada and the world. Thou
sands will remain to build homes, when
the realization is brought home to
them that we are exploiting the
greatest state in the union.
Asked as to how the attitude in gen.
eral is towards the fair Mr.. Chea-
lander said:
Il have during the last three weeks,
visited almost every section of the
state and 1 find the sentiment over
whelmingly favorable towards the great
undertaking. People own up to the
fact that it is more than a local I'M
dertaking and will benefit the whole
state"
Many Permanent Buildings.
Speaking of the appropriation that
will be asked from the legislature. Mr..
Chealander states that while the sum
asked for would be $1,OO0,OOO, six hund-
red thousand of this would be spent for
permanent buildings for the state uni
versity, leaving s4OO 900 for exposition
purposes to be expended by a COM
mission for the purpose.
Seattle will raise $500, 200, $500 of
which was subscribed in one day. and
the difference between the two sums
which will be raised before June list.
Portland raised $4,000 and Oregon
100000. for the Lewis and Clark fair.
In view of that fact it is reasonabley
expected that the state of Washington
will be prompt in passing the appro-
priation asked for, especially as the
many different states who have signi-
fled their intention to participate are
waiting to see the action of this state.
And so also is congress. We have every
reason to believe that if the appropria-
ton is passed promptly by the next
legislature congress will take imme- |
diate action at this session even
though it is short session.
Mr.. Chelander will visit North va
l1ma, Ellensburg and other points
after which he will Immediately leave
or the east in the interest of the ex-
position.

HOUSE
FAILED
TO CONCUR
Normal School Combine Did
It's Work Well In Lower
House

IL was generally understood that
the Vawter bill creating board of
regents for the normal schools con-
tanned a clause that the board should
look over the situation, select two
schools that should be eliminated
from the normal scheme, report TO
the next legislature, and put 1t up to
that body to do the decapitating act.
When the bill reached the governor
there was no such clause in the
measure. A look over the situation
shows that the house failed to con-
cur in the senate amendment which
placed in this saving clause and the
next legislature will find itself in ex-
actly the same position as this, un-
less something is done by initiative
and referendum in the meantime.

In the Carus nelghborhood only a
few miles from Oregon City.
The cause of the suicides act has
been a puzzle to the neighbors and
to the coroner. who was called to the
spot Sunday, and who held an In
quest there. The body was not
brought 20 this city but left In charge
OF the family, and will be buried In
the cemetery at Carus.
Peringor was In Oregon City last
week to pay his taxes and seemed TO
be in his ordinary mood. but Il Is
thought that while In town he pur-
chased the bottle OF carbolic acid
with which no ended his life. Moth
ing unusual was seen in his habits
after he reached home. yet II IA

tempted the man TO take his lte.

SAYS KIDNEYS
WEAR OUT
FIRST
How TO Find Ont If the Kid
neyS Are Affected

A we'll known authority states that
there are more cases of kidney
trouble here now than ever before
while recent reports show that more
people succumb each year to some
form of kidney disease than any
other cause.
When. there is sickness, examine
the urine. Rheumatism Is only a
symptoms of kidney trouble. IL is
nothing more or less than excessive
uric acid in the blood, which the
sluggish, inactive kidneys have fall
ed to sift out, leaving IL to decom-
pose and settle about the joints and
muscles, causing intense suffering;
frequently resulting In deformlty;
often reaching the heart when death
, ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urlnation and
other symptoms of weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble;
many cases of stomach disease, head
ache. pain in the heart. inactive liv-
er, etc, are but symptoms; the cause
OF which can be traced to feeble.
clogged kidneys.
The physicians for the insurance
companies always carefully examine
and report on the condition OF the
urine. 1t is a certain sign of sick
ness or health of the human body.
A test OF the urine should be made
by every man and woman at least
once each year. A simple test is to
void a small quantity OF urine In a
bottle or glass and let It stand over
night; next morning, II there is a
reddish brick-dust sediment, or white
fleecy substance present. either con-
suit some reputable physician. or take
good vegetable treatment. The
following prescription is recon-
mended highly in these cases, and II
desirable the sufferer can mix II at
home. Any good prescription phar-
macy has the ingredients, which are
harmless and inexpensive: Com
pound Kargon. one ounce; Fluid
Extract Dandellon, one-half ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces. Shake well and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Where any of the symp-
toms enumerated above are present.
good results are sure to follow imme-
diately the use of this simple pre-
scription.

The Elberta Peach.

The reason why the liberia peach Is

the same reason why Baldwin and
Ben Davis apples. Concord grapes and
Bartlett pears are more generally
planted than most all others The
tree Is vigorous and hardy. thrives on
about every variety OF soil: fruit buds
are a little more hardy than the aver

and, whether the fruit be thnned or
not It is always Of large size. 1t is Of
bright yellow. with red on the sunny
side, which makes it always attractive
In appearance. 1t has thick, tough
skin and is a long keeper, and, as the

squash seed just to one side Of where
melons are to be planted and do not
plant the latter until squashes are well
up.
The idea ia planting squashes is OBJ
vious. The chief pest of the melon
raiser is the little striped bug better
known as the cucumber bug. AS the
squash plant is more hardy than the
young melon plant l use 1t as a trap
for the bugs as they seem TO like it
fully as we'll as the melon. On 1t they
seem to thrive and breed. BY the time
the melons are up the bugs have per
formed their work and disappeared.
My rule Is to plant corn first and
then make the major part of the garden
including the melon planting, says 2
Michigan farmer I'm American Agricul-
turist. / sometimes use the hotbed for
starting my melon plants, planting seed
in inverted sods cut in squares about
by inches. and when plants are
grown to the proper size, say two or
three rough leaves each, | lift then
carefully. / lacing the sod on trays
and set them. sod and all, i'm the per-
manent hill. l want at least eight good
plants 10 each hill, as some are sure to
die. As they grow the weaker ones are
taken out until but three or four are
left, which is an abundance. After
plants are well on their way the
squashes are removed.
The Montreal muskmelon satisfies
First, ii is model of beauty, being
almost spherical in form; second, its
deep, dense netting gives protection in

to six inches. thus making two even

good; fifth. II is productive to a fault
