ton for reclamation purposes under
the Carey act. Nothing tangible has
ever been done by the state toward
the reclamation Of these lands, and
the secretary of the interior has new
er approved the selection.
Surveys Of the Priest Rapids pro-
ject were made, which indicates that
a total Of 10000 acres might be
reclaimed. partly by gravity and
partly by pumping, but as the devel-
opment Of the project already ap-
proved will leave no funds available
for many years for undertaking new
projects in Washington, further stud :.
les and surveys Of secondary pro-
jects have been discontinued. Most
of the lands withdrawn in connection
Herewith have since been restored
to settlement and entry.

the report closes with a copy of the
irrigation law passed by the legis-
lature at its last session.-Seattle

That Humane Society.

About every ten days Deputy
Sheriff Grant hobs up and says I'VE
need live humane society,"" Now
that is correct, but what is Mr.. Grant
going to do about it? Blame seems
to be attached to those people who
have been trying to get the society
on it's feet.
Many causes have been assigned
as to why the society is not in opera
ton today, but so far as I have seen
no one has named the real reason.
Here it is: Way last fall the humane
society was duly organized, officers
elected, constitution and bylaws
framed, and application made to the
secretary Of state for proper papers
in the matter of incorporation, but
in spite of the fact that our secre-
tary has many times urgently re-
quested action upon the part of the
secretary of state, yet that official
has neglected to forward the neces-
sary papers, and therefore we are
powerless to act.
If any person or persons know of,
or can suggest any way by which our
public officials can be compelled to
act, let them speak up. We are here,
ready to act just as soon as we can
do so legally-yes, we are anxious to
act in several cases. We know of
horses on the streets every day which
are poorly fed, overdriven, unmerci-
fully whipped and in other why's
abused, and that, too, by business
men.
We also know men who are SELL
ing tobacco and cigarettes to boys in
violation Of the state laws. If we
were legally empowered to prosecute
these cases, rest assured we would
lose no time in making an example
of some of these offenders, which we
think would have wholesome effect
upon others. We are glad that Mr..
Grant wants society, and trust that
he will lose no time in signing the
constitution, and that he will assist
us in our difficulty with the secre-
tary of state, and some day we trust
that some of the offenders may be
brought to justice.
Yours truly,
H. L. MATTERSON.

Reaches Home with OK Team.


Ezra Meeker, the well-known pio-
neer whose home IL q few miles out
of Seattle. has performed service
for the country. and especially for
the western country. that will go
down the annals of time a. part of
the history of the Pacific northwest.
Years ago. when this section was a
wilderness, Meeker left his old home
in Indiana and. with other emf
grants. travelled across the continent
by ox-teams. traversing Oregon to
the mouth Of the Columbia, then
heading for Puget Sound. where he
settled and prospered. Years passed
and Ezra Meeker saw the old trail
growing dim. The railroad had long
before superseded the ox-team and
no more emigrants were traversing
the old Oregon trail. To preserve
the trail to posterity Meeker deter
mined to retrace it in the same way
as he came, and a. he went along
he would plant monuments to mark
the trail for all time. Months ago
the old man. for Meeker IL now 76
years old. set out with his ox-team
and covered wagon from Seattle
and word has recently reached this
region that he had accomplished his
purpose. landing ut his old home
in Indiana.-The Ranch.

More Evidence.

Under the caption "The Lumber
Problem" the Kansas City Times in
dependent, says editorially:
Minneapolis has been obliged to close
down building operations because of a
lack of shingke. This IS due to a shortage
of cars resulting from the blockade of
transcontinental railroads and also to
the lumber trust which controls the traf-
fic and the prices of lumber. The condi-
lions call attention to two phases of the
building situation which deserve serious
attention.
1t has been suggested recently that
congress shall lease the reserves for the
cutting of such trees as have grown to
maturity and are threatened with decay.
In this way not only would the waste Of
lumber be prevented, but competition
would be established with the lumber
trust, which is pernicious and obstacle
to economical building.
Another remedy is that now being con-
sidered by the Pennsylvania legislature
which concerns the future of forestry. 1t
is proposed to preserve the state lands
intact and make them nurseries for COM
ing forests. Not only are the Alleghanics
almost entirely denuded of trees, but the
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin have
been laid low, while the great northwest,
in the grip Of the trust, is fast being
stripped of trees 1t has been argued be-
fore the Pennsylvania. legislature that,
while iron ore can be turned into steel in
a few hours, not all the wealth of the
world can make a tree grow faster than
nature has from the beginning intended.
The fault has been our great profigacy
in the beginning. Where q few years ago
lumber was sawed and sold green at from
81 to So a thousand feet it is now being
cured and planed and brings from $50 to
$50 a thousand. There are probably
enough trees to last couple of genera
tons, but what will posterity do If we
not only refuse to preserve the small area
of forests remaining, but like the foolish
farmer who raised a single crop of wheat
and then let the field lie faIlow for years,
refuse to make provision for future
growth of forests?

The Stand Patters.

Sharp Williams, the Democratic house

strict party vote. If there was ever q
sensible proposition made, it would

TCopy of petition.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 80.
To the President and the Congress of the
United States:
Believing heartily in the mission of Sec
rotary Root to establish closer relations
between the peoples of America and be-
ing also of the opinion that tariff laws
should be changed as conditions change,
we indorse the attitude in behalf of tariff
revision taken by the late national for
eign trade convention at Washington.
We indorse the principle there approved
of the creation of maximum and min
imum tariff schedules to be applied with
out the Intervention of treaties, but 9TH
erwise following the general precedent Of
the reciprocity clause in the Mckinley
tariff in favor Of such countries as will
make concessions to us.
We further favor the establishment, as
urged by the convention, of a tariff COM
mission that shall impartially investigate
and report from time to time to congress
when schedules appear to be in need of
modification, whether in cases where du-
ties once needed for the protection of
American industries have become or may
become obsolete or unnecessary or, on
the other hand, where new industries
may require new protection or new ex-
penses further revenue.
In all cases of tariff revision, however,
the test should be not "Is such a duty
demanded?" but els such a duty needed?'
We respectfully urge upon the presi-
along these lines, and should the limita-
tion of time make this impossible in the
present session of congress we respect
fully petition the president to use the
powers placed in his hands for the con-
sideration of this subject without further
delay.

Refused a Senate Seat.

Ex-United States Senator Benson of
Kansas is peculiar man. He actually
refused an election to the United States
senate. True it was only forty day
fragment of a term, but it was an cleo
ton nevertheless 1t will be remem-
bered that when Senator Burton re-
signed Governor Hoch appointed Ben
son to serve till the meeting of the
legislature, which would elect for both
Burton's unfinished term and for a
term of six years. Benson was a can
didate for both the short and long
terms When Charlie Curtis walked
away with the long term it SO disgust
ed Benson that he refused the short
term. Sic transit gloria mundi.

A great many members are weary
of the stringency of the house rules.
Among these is Judge Dorsey w.
Shackleford of Missouri, now coming
Cochran of Missouri would have called
"an old and experienced member" The
general complaint is that the present
rules give the speaker entirely too
much power This is claimed by most
Democrats and by a few Republicans.
Before Colonel William 2. Hepburn
was made chairman of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce he
would deliver a philippe in each con-
greSS against the rules, but since he
was made chairman of that committee
he has omitted that speech. Whether
the craftsmanship caused him to quit
or whether he came to realize the fu-
tility of it, | know not. First and last
Judge Shackleford has made several
speeches on the subject himself-eX-
cellent speeches, too, full of fire and
vigor. The judge evidently learned to
spell out of Webster's old blue backed
Speller and took to heart the story of
how an old man tried to scare a boy
out of his favOrite apple tree by throw
ing tufts of grass at him. Finding it
had no effect he began to throw rocks,
whereupon the boy came down. So
the judge. finding that his speeches did
not change the situation and with hope
still springing in his breast, intro
duced a resolution which will do the
work if he can get it passed. His reso-
luton is in words and figures as fol-
lows:
Resolved That rule 10 Of the rules of
the house of representatives be amended
by striking out the following: Unless
otherwise specially ordered by the house
the speaker shall appoint at the com
menCement of each congress the follow
ing standing cOmmittees-viz," and insert
in lieu thereof the following:
There shall be selected at the begin
ming of each congress a standing COM
mittee, to be called committee on organ
izatiOn and order of business The
speaker shall not be a member thereof.
Said committee shall consist of twelve
members, who shall be selected in the fol-
lowing manner: Immediately after the
election and qualification of the speaker
the roll shall be called and each member
of the house, when his name is reached,
may cast twelve votes, all of which may
be for one person or distributed among
several, as he may choose. The twelve
persons receiving the highest number OF
votes shall be declared elected members
of said committee. Said members SO Sc
lected shall organize by the selection OF
one of their number as chairman To
said committee shall be referred all pro-
posed action touching the rules, joint
rules and order of business. Said COM
mittee as soon as selected and organized
shall proceed to the appointment of the
following standing committees-viz."
