INDEPENDENT MOVE CROWS
Number Of Warehouses Owned BY
Farmers IL Increasing.

Farmers 10 lncfea3ln8.
Garfield, WASH, Aug. 19.-The
grain growers in this part of the Pa
louise cake exception to the clause In
the new wheat ticket which ahsolves
the railroads as we'll as the warehouses
from any loss by fire which may occur.
They say that the engines of the rail
road company are very liable to cause
fire by dropping sparks and they do
not see why the railroads should not
assume this risk.
The independent companies seem to
be getting the great bulk of the wheat
so far on all the roads eentering at
Garfield. 1t is said on good authority
that there will be before another har-
vest season rolls around a system of
warehouses will be erected throughout
the length and breadth Of the Palouse
country which will be owned and con-
trolled by the farmers of the Inland
Empire.

GUSHING OF SCHMITz
IS upheld BY COURT

San Francisco, Aug. 2O.-In an
opinion written by Chief Justice Beat
ty the supreme court of the state rec
ognizes DR.. Edward R. Taylor as
mayor de facto of San Francisco and
granted the petition of his secretary,
Harry q. McCannay, for a writ OF
mandamus to compel City Auditor
Sam Horton to recognize his claim for
salary.
"The opinion, which was concurred
in by all the Justices of the supreme
court, efectually disposes of the pre-
tensions Of Eugene F. Schmitz to the
office. Schmitz admitted this last
night and said that nothing remained
for him but to abide by the decision.
Mayor Taylor said he had expected
the supreme coucrt would sustain his
title to the Office and that he had no
other comment to make on the deci-
sion.
The opinion holds that a vacancy
existed in the Office of mayor when
Schmitz was convicted Of felony, and
that in appointing DR.. Charles Boxton
and subsequently DR.. Taylor to fill
that vacancy the board of supervisors
was acting clearly within the provi-
sions of the city charter and the polit-
ical code.
Final judgment on the conviction
OF Schmitz was not necessary to create
this vacancy. the opinion adds, and
the appeal he has taken in no way
interior esw it'll the validity of Taylor's
appointment as mayor.

HIS time To CONE BRYAN TO JAPANESE
his SENTIMENTS REGARDING MU.

Thinks immigration Should Not
Be Permitted to the Extent of
Raising Race Question, and
Cites Japan's Korean Trouble.
Race Prejudice Deprecated.

Oamha, Neb., Aug. l9.@Count Ok
uma's organ in Tokyo, Hochi Shin.
bun, which is seeking expressions OF
opinion concerning japan and the JAP
anese from public men in this coun-
try, has secured letter full of friend
ly feeling toward the mikado's country
from William j. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan
writes:
'The progress of Japan has been
watched with pride and satisfaction,
our interest being increased by the
fact that our example has had some
influence in inspiring your develop
ment. see no reason why the two
nations should not be mutually help
full and rejoice in each others growth
and prosperity. The infammatory ut
terances attributed to some Of your
politicians have excited some resent
ment here, but I am sure that the
sober Judgment of both countries dis
couDtenances any thought of war.
Neither government is likely to dc
anything of which the other can justly
complain.
immigration and Race Question
eff any of your citizens here suffer
injustice our courts are open to them
just as your courts are open to our cit.
liens residing there.
"In matters of immigration each
nation, Of course, has and should ex,
ercise the right to protect it's own in
terests, and I am sure that neither ma.
tion will impose restrictions except
when those restrictions are necessary.
Speaking as an American [ am conf
dent that such restrictions as may he
made by the United States concerning
immigration will be made with a view
of preserving amicable relations rather
than with thought of offending. It
would be a mistaken kindness for
either nation to permit immigration
to such an extent as to raise a race
question or to excite race animosities.
Your nation has had enough expert
ence in Korea and China to know what
race prejudice is in human nature.
animated by desire to do Justice
and sincerely anxious to be on good
terms with all the world our nation
will meet Japan in spirit of candor,
and I have no doubt that such differ
ences of opinion as may from time to
time arise will be settled to the salts
faction of both nations through their
diplomatic representatives.

HARTMAN SAYS HE HAS SOME
CORRESPONDENCE.
1t Will Be Made Public Some
Day and Will Explain Many
Things--Not In Politics, He
Says, and Declines to Criticize
Federal Administration.

San Francisco, Aug. 1T have
never been opposed to regulation and
publicity in railroad affairs. But
there should be protection to railroads
as we'll as regulation. My position
has been both misunderstood and mis-
represented.
''No I do not wish to comment on
the attitude of the federal adimnistra-
tion toward the so-called Hartman
railroad system. I am not in politics.
''My day will come some time.
Then things have done will be un-
derstood. There is certain CORES
pondehce which can explain many
things.
cit will be made public some day.
When? That I cannot say. The
time is not ripe to make it known. So
far as the Hartman system is con-
cerned, have no present "kick,'' as
one might say. 1t is business insti-
tuition that is very prosperous.
These interesting statements, with
their threat of correspondence dis
closures, we're made by Edward III.
Hartman, who arrived from New
York yesterday and left for ten days
hunting and fishing outing on the
lakes in Southern Oregon
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1907-08-24

These interesting statements, with
their threat of correspondence dis
closures, were made by Edward III.
Hartman, who arrived from New
York yesterday and left for ten days
hunting and fishing outing on the
lakes in Southern Oregon
my Day Will Come"
"My day will come sometime" was
said with the we'll known Hartman
aggressive spirit. But he could not be
drawn into an indulgence of names,
nor would he comment on the Bona
parte threat of both civil and Grimm
al actions against the Hartman sys-
tenn, and the man who has built it up
to $4,000 miles of track, with 1900
niles of steamer lines as an adjunct,
and has spent.$257, 600, 900 in improve
ments on the former since 1898.
Since the commencement of his bitter
fight with the Roosevelt administra-
tion Hartman has changed his atti-
tude toward the press; and, while too
monosyllabic and .shrewd to be volu-
BILE, he does not disdain the inter-
viewer, as formerly. In fact, the re-
verse is now the case, and it is gener-
ally understood in railroad circles that
ne, Hill of the Great Northern, Fin
lay of the Southern Railway, and half
a dozen other railway lights are glad
to use the avenue of the interview to
air their views before the public.
Ready for Fight
Harriman's friends say that, with
conscious pride and a pardonable
egotism, he thinks he can put up a
strong fight against the administra-
ton when the time is ripe: that he
has lost none of the old time spirit
which he showed against J. Pierpont
Morgan when the latter demanded to
know, twenty years ago, whom he
represented in the councils of the
Erie railroad, and he replied, "just
myself" and brought Morgan to
terms.
81 have never objected to abolish
ing rebates" continued Hartman,
cor to any degree of publicity con-
corning the transaction of the business
of railroads and other corporations.
There has never been any complaint
from the interstate commerce COM
mission or the bureau of corporations
or from the stockholders Of the COM
panies with chich I am connected con-
corning their inability to find out
what the management of he Union or
Southern Pacific is doing. We want
publicity. Our reports are full and
complete in the greatest degree, as as
any one can ascertain by examining
them, and the stockholders are per-
fectly satisfied. Nor have I ever op-
posed the regulation of rates under
proper safeguards.
Objects to Arbitrary Power
"What I did object to was the
coferring of arbitrary power upon sew
en- men to interfere at their pleasure
with the rights Of individuals and the
public generally. If certain interests
happen to be antagonistic and cne of
them wanted to check the other It
could get all the information neces-
sary by putting the machinery of the
interstate commission into operation
and place its opponents at danger
GUS disadvantage.
THAT danger is illustrated by what
has taken place since the new rate law
was passed If the recent investiga-
ton had been on business basis pure
~, and if all politics had been elmin-
ated it would have been done without
injury to any one or attracting so
much attention."
