Good Service.

The Great Northern railroad has
kindly consented to stop it's empty
passenger cars returning from the

the students who wish to return to

has paid out nearly $1,000 for shovel
ing snow this winter, and all to very
poor advantage The banks of snow

Nature Study.

The class in Nature Study under the
direction of DR.. Young, has completed
their work on the cat, fish, frog and
related types, and will now take up
the study of unicellular forms derived
from "hay infusions" The excessive
snowfall is a material hindrance to the
collection of material for this work.
The General Biology class does not
feel this hindrance however as they
are to busy preparing for next weeks
test, and they have an idea too that
the English coulee is not especially
rich in corals and jelly fishes, their
present subjects for study.

ROselle Knott.

Nearly every actor or actress, with
few exceptions, has some time or other
been burdened with a play that has
failed to satisfy the demands of the
theatre-going public, but we rejoice
to say that upon every occasion that
Roselle Knott has been seen here,
that both she and her plays have al
ways received the most favorable COM
ment from press and public alike. And
from what the critics say in other
cities, which Miss Knott and her tai
ented players have visited this season
with her new Offering, "Alice-Sit-by-
the-Ffre," the latest Barrie comedy,
will prove no exception to this rule.
The public have always wanted to see
this talented actress in part of her
own creation assuming that it would
be artistic to say the least. Miss
Knots supporting company will be
all that can be desired, among them
the recognized New York favorites,
Mr.. Eric Blind, Mr.. Robinson New
bold, Mr.. Carlyle Moore, Miss Grace
Gibbons, etc. The production is a
most elaborate one, and the theatre
management is only requested to fur
nish a stage.
Miss Knott will appear here We'd
nesday at the Metropolitan and the
production will be given in it's entirety.

HENEY NOT INVITED.
But Has His Opinion of Certain Port
land Officials.

San Francisco, March 26.-The at
tention of Francis J. Heney was called
today to a dispatch from Portland,
which stated that a fund was being
raised there TO finance an investigation
into civic conditions and that Mr..
Heney and w. J. Burns were to be re-
quested to conduct the inquiry.
The prosecutor said that his time for
the present would be taken up with the
San Francisco investigation. He added
that he had received no official offer
from Portland, and therefore could not
either accept or decline at this time.
He added:
Il am not very familiar with civic
conditions in Portland. | have my
opinion of certain officials there, how
ever"
When asked what sort of graft might
flourish in Portland, he said:
"You know Halsey makes visits
there"
Halsey was general agent of the Pa
cific States Telephone 4 Telegraph COM
pany, and was recently indicted for
bribing the San Francisco supervisors.

SCHMITZ TO PROVE INNOCENCE
Says He Will Then Give no Quar,er
in Libel Suits.

San Francisco, March 28.-In a
statement today to the Associated Press,
Mayor Schmitz denies the truth of
charges published in the local papers
to the effect that the prosecution has
abundant evidence that Schmitz profit
ed to the extent of not less than $662,-
600 from participation in the booding
operations now being investigated by
the grand jury.
"These charges" said the mayor,
care malicicusly false, and as soon as
| am afforded the legal opportunity, |
shall prove them to be So After de-
claring that he is anxious for speedy
trial, he says:
at is VIGOROUSLY unfair that l
should be brought to trial before any
judge in this city and county" all of
whom he alleges to be biased, and de-
cares it is outrageous that he should
be kept "for months under this foul
cloud with the prospect that the trial
will be delayed for another foui
MONTHS
The mayor says this is no time for
libel suits, but, when he has been tried
and judged by jury, he will give no
quarter.

WORST is OVER
IN CALIFORNIA
Much Suffering viii Yet Result and
Loss Will Be Heavy.
All Past Records for High Water and
General Destruction Have Been
Broken-Crops Ruined and Thous-
ands Of Acres Of Farm Land In
undated-Stock Loss is Big.

Sacramento, March 26.-With pIac-
der water, the worst food in the his
tory of this rich agricultural district,
not excepting even those OF 1852 and
1904, is now matter of record. On
the Sacramento side Of the river,
Grand, Sutter and Sherman islands are
| the only ones not inundated, and on
the Yolo side, Merritt stands as the
single rock which has withstood the
ravages of the waters.
Even tie Pearson district, where the
hardest fight ever made by the river
ranchers to save their lands has been
going on for week, is not submerged,
and while at Randall island the front
levee was still standing at last reports
the struggle has been given up.
While from all points comes the
word that 'the worst is over," a vivid
picture can be drawn of the awful de-
struction which has ruined crops and
put land worth millions of dollars tenn
porarily out OF commission.
The steamer Fruto has been sent ON
a second mission of relief and she is
momentarily expected to return with
cargo Of the stock rescued from the
Pearson district. The Pearson district
is one of the chief dairying parts Of the
county, and although the residents are
making desperate fight to protect
their homes and cattle until help ar
rives, it is probable that many hun
dreds will be lost.
The water was reported to be four
feet deep, and rising rapidly. The
break is widening and it is feared that
there may be destruction Of human life
before the food subsidies.

Burning Gas Terrifies Farmers.

sapulpa, I. T., March 29.-The gas
well two miles east of here that caught
fire Saturday is still burning fiercely
After IA days of work the well was
capped. But the great volume of gas
found another way out through the
crevces and for half mile it spread
open the earth. At one place hole
three feet wide and 20 feet long was
tom. Then the gas caught fire and
has been burning ever since. At one
place sheet of flame 20 feet long and
Is feet high is blazing. Tons of rock
and shale were thrown from the cracks

INQUIRY IN OAKLAND.
Telephone Companies Pursued Same
Tactics in That City.

San Francisco, March 27 The grand
jury investigation took a leap today
across the bay and landed in Oakland.
1t was shown during the examination
of witnesses that the Home Telephone
company and the Pacific States Tele-
phone company had been engaged in a
battle over a franchise similar to the
warfare here which resulted in whole
sale bribery. 1t developed that Halsey
was in Oakland and that Detwille1 was
there also. These are the men accused
of bribing the San Francisco officials.
Aside from this revelation, the in
quiry failed to reveal anything of a
sensational nature. At the end of the
session District Attorney Langdon said
the day had been spent in 'filling in. "
Testimony was given which serves to
supply some of the missing links in the
general recital of bribery.
The grand jury will socn begin to re-
veal the part played by Mayor Schmitz
in the Doodle transactions. The mayor,
ii is estimated, received close to $780,
900 as the result OF his operations.

Soldiers Had Shotguns, Too,

Washington, March 2s.-The cross
examination OF Thomas Taylor, former,
ly of Company F, Twenty-ffth infantry,
was resumed today when the senate
committee on military affairs again
took up its investigation of the "shoot-
ing up" OF Brownsville, Tex. When
asked concerning the issue of extra am
munition to soldiers when they desired
to 90 hunting, Taylor said he had nev-
er secured any, because he always took
'one of three shotguns belonging to his
company, This is the first admission
since the investigation was begun that
the company had shotguns in its pos
session. Joseph l.. Wilson, company
b, gave testimony concerning events of
the night of August 13, when the
shooting occurred, similar to that given
by Taylor.

NO ADVANCE IN LUMBER RATES
Northern Roads Deny Present Inten-
ton, but Are Investigating.

st Paul, Mimi, March 29.-An
official statement was made by traffic
men Of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroads today that it is not
contemplated to make any immediate
change in lumber rates from Puget
sound to st. Paul and Missouri river
cities, as the lumbermen have advised
the Interstate Commerce commission in
Washington. A joint statement was
made by the lines as follows:
owe have not considered an increase
in Pacific Coast Missouri River lumber
rates, except as they may have been in
volved in discussions covering the gen.
eral rates and cost Of service. No i'm
mediate changes ale contemplated"
While the statement gives generally
the situation, it is asserted the lines are
closely investigating conditions govern
ing the transportation of lumber, which
have changed considerably since the in
dustry on the coast started.

TRY MEDIATION.
Knapp and NeiI Will Attempt to Ad-
Just Railroad Dispute.

Chicago, March 29.-Government in
tervention will be tried in an effort tt
avert the great railroad strike which
threatens to paralyze the business Of
the West. In response to the appeal
of the RAILROAD managers, Chairman
Knapp, of the Interstate Commere com,
mission, and Commissioner of Labor
Neill will arrive in Chicago Saturday
morning and offer mediation in the
controversy. Failing to adjust the
matter in a conciliatory manner, they
will endeavor to bring about arbitra-
tion under the provisions of the Erd-
mann law.
The labor chiefs will await the al :
rival of the government officials befor }
ordering a strike. If the good ffic IS
of Mr.. Knapp and Mr.. Neill result in
bringing greater concessions tc the en-
ployes than have yet been offered, the
strike may be averted. The employees.
however, say they will not accept arbi-
tration and today again declared their
position that nothing short of greater
concessions from the railroads will pre-
vent them from walking out.
President Roosevelt has been follow
ing closely the developments in the sit
uation here and Messrs. Knapp and
Neill will undertake the delicate work
imposed on them by law with full con-
sciousness that the president is ex-
tremely solicitous that all differences
be settled by arbitration.
The general managers said that no
attempt would be made to operate
trains if the employees struck.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
COAL ROADS BROUGHT TIME
Indiana and Illinois Lines Adopt Gov
ernment "Suggestions

Washington, March 29.-Prompt ac-
ion by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission has av,rted what might have
developed into serious clash between
the coal shippers and the railroads of
Indiana and Illinois. On March Is the
Indiana Railroad commission, the Unit
ed Mineworkers and representative coal
operators Of Indiana and Illinois COM
planned to the commission that the
carriers had given notice of an advance
of cents ton on coal from Indiana
and Illinois points to Chicago. Such
an advance, they pointed out, would
seriously affect both miners and opera
tors. The question Of filing a formal
complaint against the railroads was
considered by the delegation. An inti-
nation also was made that proceedings
would be instituted against the carriers
for violation of the antitrust law.
Since that time the commission has
been in communication with all the
presidents interested, and in the words
of Chairman Knapp, certain sugges-
tions" were made to the railroads. 1t
was announced by the commission TO-
day that replies to the communication
had been received from the interested
lines and that the determination to
make the proposed advance in the coal
rates had been reconsidered and aband-
