SUCCESSFUL LANDING.
James Little Make, a Record
of 14O Per Cent.

The success James Little has
achieved in early lambing is said by
sheepmen to be phenomenal. Last
year. in spite of unfavorable wealth
er, he was very successful, but this
year he has made record hard to
beat. His percentage of lambs is
l40, or approximately one and a half
lambs per eve. Many of his ewes
have twins by their side and two
have successfully raised triplets.
Mr. Little's success may be at
tributed to three things: Abundance
Of good feed, warm shelter and hard
work. He arranges to lamb in Feb
ruary and early March. On the south
side of a thick belt of timber on the
river he has built his sheds and no
matter how severe a storm may
come or how cold the weather may
be, his ewes are kept warm and dry.
During the lambing season attend
ants are present night and day to
care for the animals. As result of
these efforts, Mr.. Little has as fine
a lot of lambs as can be found any
where They will be fattened and
shipped to Eastern markets in time
to be eaten with early peas and po-
tatOeS.

A largely attended caucus was
held in the Index Office Moday night

The caucus was very harmonious

business man and the election of the
entire ticket will mean that the
affairs of the town will be conducted

company have not yet been perfect
ed, it is their intention to begin

RIVER ON A TEAR.
Melting Snow and Rains Cause ar
Eight-Foot Rise.

Monday night the river rose very
suddenly and Tuesday morning the
banks were full. The cause of ii
was chinook wind that swept over
the mountains, melting the snow,
and copious rains. Logs that had
been left on the banks along the
stream last summer dropped into
McNish's hopper and a few new ones
were Unexpectedly started on a
rough voyage
At the McNish headgate some
damage was done. but every avail
able man was put to work and the
trouble stopped.
The rise was unexpected, and has
caused McNish & Allen to get busy.
A crew of Is men under the leader
ship of Ed Stanley was started from

LUMBER ASSOCIATION
Petitions Congress, by Resolution,
Asking for Relief.

!
The following resolutions passed
by the Pacific Coast Lumber Manu-
facturers' association at recent
meeting at Tacoma, speaks for itself:
Whereas, the interstate commerce
law now in effect does not contain
any provision whereby a hearing is
required before change in any in
terstate freight rate may become ef-
fective, and
Whereas, experience has fully
demonstrated the urgent necessity for
an amendment to remedy this serious
evil,
Wherefore, be it resolved by the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association that at the coming ses-
sion of congress an amendment shall
be offered and strenuously urged,
providing substantially that when
any railroad company seeks to ad-
vance or lower any interstate rate,
or change the classification of any
commodity or promulgate any rules
or regulations that affect rates,
weights and tariffs, it must, if OBJ
jections be made thereto, receive the
approval of the interstate commerce
commission before such rates or
changes in the classification shall be-
come effective.
''Be it further resolved, that a
copy of these resolutions be sent to
every senator and representative in
congress, and that every mill owner,
manufacturer and shipper in the
United States be asked to cooperate
whenever possible, in the passage of
this amendment to the interstate
commerce law"
The omission of this clause has
in the case of the lumber manufac-
turers of the Pacific coast, already
worked very serious injury to one
of the largest industries, which will
be set forth in the attached state
ment, and if one industry can be Sc
riously crippled because of no legal
means being provided for an investi-
cation as to the reasonableness of
rate before it goes into effect, it can
readily be understood that other in
dustries may suffer. We ask you,
therefore, to kindly give our state
ment your careful attention, and
upon approval use your good office in
passing an amendment to the inter-
state commerce act which will give
the shippers adequate protection in
the matter of filing rates.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
sincerely yours,
VICTOR H. BECKMAN, Sec.

immense timber area, and the senti-
