WASHINGTON MAY
HELP OPEN RIVERS
GOVERNOR MEAD WRITES
A STRONG MESSAGE.
Railroad Rate Regulation Needed In
Washington as Well as in Oregon
Lack of Rolling Stock Cripples
Washington Industries and Relief
VIII BE Demanded.

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 16.-The
Washington legislature now in session
listened to the biennial message of
Governor Mead last evening. 1t was
one of the strongest state papers ever
read before the legislature and its
recommendations will doubtless re-
suit in some valuable and much need
ed legislation.
The subject Of open rivers was
thoroughly discussed by Governor
Mead and his recommendations, IL
needed by the legislature, will result
in opening to navigation the Columbia
and Snake rivers to the limit of navi-
cation.
Governor Mead says that one of
the most vital questions which con-
fronts the manufacturers and shippers
of Washington is the failure of COM
mon carriers to perform the func-
tons for which they were created.
The governor attributes this failure
to lack of rolling stock. motive power
and transportation facilities, partlcu-
larly terminals, sidings and additional
tracks. The railroads declare car
manufacturers are unable to fill
their orders and high wages renders
it impossible to secure labor to con-
struct additional trackage.
The shippers, on the other hand
particularly those engaged in the
shipment of lumber and wheat, con-
tend that these conditions have exist
ed for 10 years and that the railroads
are at fault for having constantly
failed properly to anticipate the fu-
ture tonnage. The shipper also con-
tends that the companies never in
vest more capital in rolling stock
than is necessary to move the entire
tonnage in 12 months.
The governor says such policy
might be sound were the commerce OF
the state to move on a well distrib.
uted manner, but because in Wash.
ington such balance does not exist, ar
inevitable congestion occurs. The en-.
tire state is affected by these traffic
restrictions, he says, and some rene
| dy must be had which will afford
shippers protection to their transpor
tation facilities, To this end the gov,
ernor urges the enactment of a re
ciprocal demurrage law. He advo
Gates the separation of the office o
insurance commissioner from that o
the secretary of sctate and the elec
ton of the commissioner by vote o

western Canada is responsible. Last
years western wheat crop was in the
neighhorhood of S5,000,0O0 bushels,
while for the present year II will run
to over 90,0OO,0OO bushels.
The report states that one of the
most satisfactory features Of Canadi-
an trade is that of foreign business,
which is doubling itself each year.
Tue report winds up as follows:
"Canada's prosperity is largely due
to the rapid growth Df the western
country, the enrichment of western
farmers by the nigh prices for a
greater volume Of product, and the
rapid filling of the country by .mmi-
grafton. Its population has been in
creased during the last year by well
over 100000 immigrants from Great
Britain, the United States and the
continent of Europe. The major por-
tion of these have taken up land in
the west and are now helping to build
remarkable country Dealing with
umbering and mining. the report
states that the past year has been
the most remarkable In the history OF
the country and in its final statement
as to the financial condition of the
country says: "'rhe one bank fail

SHORTAGE OF MOTIVE POWER.
Trainloads of Coal on Tracks and No
Way to Move il.

A. b. Moss of Payette, presided at
meeting held this afternoon in the
Commercial club rooms at which time
the coal situation was discussed by a
number of prominent citizens. re-
ports the Boise Capital News. r. S.
Shaw, who visited the different coal
mines a short time ago, which supply
this section, stated that at Rock
Springs he found the railroad COM
pany took most of the coal for COM
mercial trade to the east. The SUI
perintendent informed him he was
not allowed to use Union Pacific cars
to ship to Boise, and the best he
could promise for this city would be
one car a week. Since that time Mr.
Shaw said he believes three cars have
been shipped here from those mines
After sizing up the situation thor
oughly he was of the opinion thai
trouble really was the lack of motive
power to move them.
At Green River he found over 6OC
loaded cars in the yard and he talked
the situation over with railroad mer
and others at that place and they wer,
all of the opinion that motive power
was the cause of the yard blockade
At Diamondville he found the mine
well supplied with cars, but there wa
shortage of men. At Cumberland
| there were several trains of coal oil
the tracks with no agent to move then
on. He spent one day at Kemmere
and found plenty of loaded cars ant
1 duringsthe time he was there not t,
exceed three trains left the mines.
The general opinion seemed to b.
that 1t was a shortage OF motive pow
er rather than shortage of car
which caused the coal famine. MI
Shaw stated he had only received q
cars of coal since July and had all hi
order been filled she should have ha,
at least rs.
Others spoke along the same line
and although 1t was admitted tina
during the summer the mine operat
ors complained of a shortage Of car
there seemed to be plenty on han,
during the winter
The advertised object of the inves
| tigation--to find out the names Of al
in Boise who had actually suffered TO
want of fuel, did not seem to brin
out any information on that line
People needed coal but the talk abou
suffering is largely buncombe.

Those who saw Allen Doone play in

FOUR OFFICIALS OUT.
New Regime Installed at Oregon's
Capital Building.


Four state officials passed out of
office yesterday, and there was a sin
cere feeling of regret that pervaded
the old capital building from stem to
stern, says the Salem Statesman. The
pleasant associations formed between
employer and employe. the inter-
change of friendship between the var
ious officers OF state, has grown into
a bond of harmony that is difficult to
break.
Secretary of State Dunbar stated
that while It was with regret that he
was to lay down the reins OF office,
yet he would be glad to lay aside the
burdens and responsibilities and take
a breathing spell. He will go to Cali
fornia within a short time. visiting
Monterey and other coast cities. Sec
retary Gatens yesterday paid a high
tribute to Mr.. Dunbar in the follow
ing words "Mr. Dunbar has proved
very efficient secretary. one of the
best the state has ever had" And Mr..
Dunbar has many friends who think
the same thing. He, is succeeded by
Frank w. Benson, ITho will take pos
session tomorrow morning.
State Treasurer Moore has not an
nounced his future plans, but will
probably spend considerable time
looking after vast land interests he
has in this state and others. George

GAMBLERS CLUBS
SALEM PAPER GIVES
SOME INSIDE FACTS.
Young Boys Fleeced by Respectable
Members of Society as "Pastime"-
impossible to Break Up Secret Dens
Because of Spoilers Always on
Guard.

The following description of the
gamblers club in Salem Is applicable
to clubs of the same kind in other por-
tions of Oregon. The Statesman says:
"Is gambling carried on In defiance
of the law in this city," is the ques-
ton asked on all sides by law-abiding
citizens.
There is no doubt of It. AT three
places last night, Statesman repre-
sentative saw games in operation. and

and solo. But they are n sly bunch.
these .stealthy gamblers. Like mice at
play In the dark, their movements
are guarded, and they have inhaled
the useful secrets of certain China
men who conduct gambling dens
about the city, to prevent surprise by
parties who do not understand the
password.
1t is n password is It? Yes, II
you wish to enter the inner circle of
the select, and cast your pearls among
the swine in the games of chance, you
must know the signs prescribed by the
gamblers club.
Then the gamblers have club In
Salem? Indeed they have and 1t Is
well organized, with many of the we'll

with It. They call II recreation" from
the weary routine OF their offices, to
have 'little social" game, but this
term "social' developed quite start

youth of scarcely ~ was stripped
OF over $50 by several members OF
society, and he was expected to take
the bantering of his friends without
criticism. and be good fellow"
Perhaps as startling phase Of this
gambling proposition as 1t exists here
is the tender age Of the members OF
the club. II is said that many of these
youngsters are initiated into the
games by the Cinnamon, and are
passed on to be full-fledged members
of the club. which apparently has no
name. or material existence, but like
the Ku Klux Klan. they exist by an
unwritten law. and carry on their
nightly prowlings by mutual consent
of those wishing to participate.
Each coterie of players have their
"spotter." a man who watches for the
appearance of an officer, or anyone
whom they have suspicion is laying"
for them. 1t Is a difficult proposition
to catch them, and only by becoming
a good fellow" and a member OF the
club, can a person expect to witness
the card carnivals, and the interchange
of losses and gains, that go into the
wee sma hours of the night.
