BOBS UP AGAIN.

Sheldon moved to reconsider the re-
consideration of House Bill 223, twice
defeated, the last time only a few min
utes before. He was asked to wait a
few minutes and give the bill rest.
FIRST CONFERENCE REPORT.
Chairman Rice, of the House confer
ence committee, presented the commit
tee report on House Bill 161. The COM
mittee had agreed on all the Senate
amendments except one item, that of
j. Fl. Kamio, of Kipahulu, for land
taken for road purposes, which was
jumped from $50 to $125. This brings
the total of the appropriations under
the bill to $16,753.62.
This is the only one of the appro-
priation bills so far agreed on and the
least important of three which have
passed both branches of the Legislature.
The report was adopted.
LABORERS' WAGE BILL VETOED.
Another veto was presented in a
message from the Governor, the bill
fixing the pay of all laborers in the
public employ at $1.25 a day for
minimum going the same route for the
same reasons as did a similar bill put
ting the minimum pay at s150 a day.
The message criticized the bill for fix
ing the wages of employees of public

LICENSE REFUND BILL.

House Bill 217, to repay $4S,55S.75,
wrongfully collected for licenses to ear
ry on business, after the going into
force of the Organic Act, was read
through in its entirety. As most of the
sums which go to make up the grand
total averaged $50, the reading was
long and wearisome. This idea of re-
paying all these small amounts has
been up and approved in it's initial
stages by every Legislature since an
nexation, being finally killed as the
idea dawned on the members how much
nicer it would be to spend this amount
of money on something else rather than
to pay for dead horse that has al
ready been skinned and its hoofs sent
to the glue factory.
Rawlins said, after the reading, that
this was a question of Importance. He
wondered if the long list contained
the names of any persons who had paid
an overdue license fee and were not
entitled to recover He understood that
there were several such. He, for one,
did not care to vote on the bill in
its present shape and asked that the
ayes and noes be deferred.
Rice thought the request fair. He
also reminded the House that thirty
four doctors had got back their $40
license fees paid under the same con
ditions as the merchants named in the
bill and if the repayment of one was
fair the repayment of the others was
equally so. His committee had not gone
into the legal aspects of the case, how
ever.
The calling of the vote was put over
until today.

Railroad Viewpoint.

CHICAGO, Wednesday, March 20
An article that will appear in the
Railway Age for Friday, will set
forth from the railroad standpoint
the effect of the popular agitation
against great transportation COM
panies. The article will say in part:
1.-The outlook for railway build
ing in the United States is not as
promising as it was a year ago. There
is as large mileage projected as
there was in March, 1906, but the
conditions are not as favorble. The
country is as prosperous as it was
twelve months ago, and the demand
for the construction of extensions in
to new territory and for increased
railway facilities is as great, but the
campaign which has been so merci-
lessly waged against the railways
has caused many of the great sys-
TENS to adopt policies of retrench-
ment and the result is that much

more important work has been plan
ned for the present year. has been
indefinitely postponed.
There is no market for railway
securities, except at prohibitive
rates of interest and necessarily all
the loans that are made are of q
temporary nature and are to provide
for urgent capital needs.
"A year ago, over $4,000 miles of
new railroads were under contract,
nearly one-half of which was COM
pleted before the close of the year
a larger mileage than has been built
in any other single year since 1888.
There is almost as large mile
age under contract today and while
there will be great activity during
1907 in pushing to completion new
lines on which the work of cOnstruc-
ton already Is we'll advanced, and
financial arrangements for which
have been made, the launching Of
new projects, for which the capital
must be provided, in many instances
will be delayed until conditions i'm

that there is some show for its insist

DO WE APPRECIATE?

paper is a clipping from The Wester-
ner, Seattle publication, which pays
a glowing tribute to one of the most
energetic and most useful citizen
Wenatchee has ever had-W. T..

Too often is it true that we fail to
appreciate those with whom we are
closely associated Too often is it
true that the words of appreciation
that we do feel, are left unsaid I'M
til the object of our respect passes
from among the scene of his activi-
ties and even passes from this life
itself If there is a man who de-
serves the thanks of his fellow men.
why should it not be done while he
is still among the living.
'Tis a feet, however, which should
be appreciated by the people of this
section, that within our own midst
are a few men whose lives and
achievements are most remarkable.
DO we appreciate the fact that we are
living in a community which boasts
or having some of the ablest men
in the state.
Assuredly w. T. Clark is ono of
these.

BIG VERDICT FOR
LOCAL LUMBER
COMPANY
East Grand Forks Concern
Won Law Suit Against
Logging Company.

The jury in the district court at
Saltwater has rendered a verdict for
$76.600 in favor OF the Grand Forks
Lumber company of this city against
the Mcclure Logging company OF Still
water for damages from a breach of
contract This amount is in addition
to $685. 400 held back by the Grand
Forks company in making payments
to the Logging company. 1t appears
that the logging company some time
ago agreed to cut for the Grand Forks
Lumber company large amount of
logs on the Red Lake reservation, and
later failed to deliver the amount
agreed upon, selling a part of the logs
instead to the C. A. Smith Lumber
company. In making payments for
logs delivered the lumber company
held back $3S,400 as partial recon-
pense for the damages sustained in
not getting the logs as agreed upon
and then brought suit for 100000
additional. The defendants when
they found the company meant bust
ness, offered to compromise with
payment of $4,000 more or total
of $4,000. The offer was refused
by the company and the verdict of
the jury amounts to Sill 900, includ-
ing the $3S,400 retained by the COM
pany.

inch pipe was sunk and the result was
surprising. The water from even

cision to leave the outer casing for

The Motor Mail

The day of the motor mail car ap-
pears to have arrived in Australia.
At the present time there are between
$500 and 1000 motor cars in private
use in the commonwealth, garages
having been established in most of
the cities and large townships, THE
Boston Transcript" says. The cars
most in favor among Australian mo-
florists appear to be strong and speedy
vehicles, costing about $1,000. The
federal postmaster general. while Wis
iting Europe in connection with the
international postal congress, became
acquitted with the manner in which
Great Britain, France, Italy and other
countries were making an increased
use OF motor traction. He visited the
principal works in London, Glasgow,
Paris and elsewhere. and returned to
Australia strongly impressed with the
possibility OF motor conveyances in
the commonwealth, one of his first
acts being to ascertain how far the
motor car could be used as a means
OF clearing pillar letter boxes in the
large centers OF population.
He stated that in all the expert
ments made by federal and state de-
partments the primary mistake has
consisted in regarding speed, rather
than utility. as the great recommend
alton. He has limited that the federal
postal administration will have to
make an extensive use OF the motor
car for postal purposes, in spite of
the opposition displayed by the vari-
GUS railway departments. The idea
is that cars running at about fifteen
miles an hour. carrying mails, pas
sengers and freight, might be employ
ed in the rural districts, the profits
assisting in defraying the cost and
thus preparing the way for the intro
duction OF the penny postage system,
not only throughout the common
wealth, but also with Great Britain.
Ii practical effect were given to the
idea, an immense number OF motor
cars would be required, there being
several thousand railway stations, not
to mention sea and riverside ports,
between which they could travel. At
present. however, there are few, If
any. motor cars other than those used
for private purposes in the common
wealth. AS rule. the roads are
favorable for motor traction, and
when they are not they could be
speedily put in order by the local au-
thorities.
Traction cars would be found USE
full on pastoral stations. where sup
plies are frequently conveyed by bull
lock teams, travelling at a snail's pace
and occupying several days in the
journey. II few leading manufac-
turers would bestir themselves in the
work of introducing motor cars for
other than pleasure purposes, they
would have an enormous field open to
them. 1t is not improbable that
American firms will be speedily in
the field. several agents being already
engaged in investigating the prospects
OF the approaching trade.
