THE s1XTIETH CONGRESS.

The Sixtieth congress will be con- vcned today. A great deal of work of a most varied character, looking to a further control of corporations and for a further investment of authority in the federal government had been cut out for this session and it had been rather loudly asserted that much of it would be enacted. It was surmised that there would be some ineffective opposition by an element which it has lately come to be the fashion to call reactionary. but these reactionaries were to, be overborne by the onrush- ing and resistless tide of reform.
 Whatever the congressional program may have been, it has been changed by the events of the last six weeks. greatly multiplying the number of re- actionaries in and out of congress, so that at this time the thing uppermost in the minds of the republican lead CTS is not legislation affecting the trusts; not legislation shifting au- thority from the states to the central government. but legislation which will relieve present conditions and perma- nently prevent their recurrence.
 Speaker Cannon on Saturday night rather outlined the kind of legislation which would not be enacted and he is duly qualified to prepare such a neg ative program, for while he is not in a position to force the passage of laws, he is in a position effectually to block such legislation as he believes to be unwise.
 This the speaker believes is not a time for flights of fancy and experi- mental excursions into the realm of law making The most imminent busi- ness of the congress will be to ascer- tain the causes of the present situa- ton and then alleviate it, not by the application of temporary emollients and certainly not by the application of more inflammatory irritants.

MORE EFFECTIVE SANITATION


 The matter of an improvement of sanitary conditions in Phoenix will probably be presented to the city coun- cil tonight. A great deal of complaint has been made of the absence of ordi- nary sanitary precautions usually ex- ercised in towns of the size of Phoe- nix The alleged apathy of the au- thorities is said to have descended from the earliest times when the dis coVery was made that this was a nat ural health resort and when it was first enormously supposed that nature would take care of and cure all dis. eases, contagious and otherwise
 Nature has been very good to this community-very watchful over it. There has been no epidemic of any sort within recent years. though con- tagious diseases have been of frequent appearance.
 Ii is said that there are now four teen cases of diphtheria in town. not confined to any section of it. but pret- ty well distributed. The health off cer finds himself unable to assist ma tuTe in preventing the disease from becoming epidemic if it should mani- fest tendency in that direction. He can only cause a notice in the shape of a big yellow card to be posted on a house which he learns contains a diphtheria case. He has no money to pay for guards for the houses and so establish an effective quarantine. The yellow cards instead of confining the disease in its foci apprise morbidly curious friends of the afflicted of it's presence and invite visits which might otherwise not be made.
 The council we understand will be asked to provide means by which the health officer can thoroughly isolate all dangerous contagious diseases and will be asked otherwise to give force to such other sanitary regulations which have 50 far been kept on paper.

TO CELEBRATE
Umatl|a Town Raises $500 With
More to Come

PENDLETON, June S.-Pendleton is
making progress with her Fourth of
July fund and it is now certain that a
first class celebration will be held. A
total of over $1,000 has been raised and
the committees will continue soliciting
until at least $25O0 is secured
Aside from the cash subscriptions
which have been secured, number OF
valuable prizes have been offered and
a donation in printing and advertising
has been made by the Pendleton Trib-
une to the amount of $50. which is
highly appreciated by the business men
as the Tribune has never given any
large sum to any public enterprise be-
fore. However, it is understood that
this amount is to be paid wholly in
services and is not a cash subscription.
1t is thought that the entire $25OO can
be raised in a few days.
The Fourteenth cavalry band Of Walla
Walla has been secured for the celebra-
ton and other attractions are promised
by the committee on arrangements.
The people of the surrounding country
are cordially invited to spend the day
in Pendleton. A rousing celebration
should be held with fund of $25Oo.

SWIFT RUNAWAY ON ALDER
ScaVeDgeP Cart Gives A Ben Hur
Exhibition

With a swill wagon for a chariot, the
diver of a local scavanger cart gave
realistic imitation of Ben Hur winning
his famous race, on Alder street last
evening. The affair was pulled off at
o'clock sharp. The horses took their
cue from the breaking of a harness
strap and, with a lunge, tightened the
tugs in one of the speediest straight
aways the pOpulace ever witnessed on
the Alder street course.
The driver handled the ribbons with
consumate skill, but could not have
checked the speed of his eager steeds
had hundred gold pieces been his re-
ward. In fact. he came near colliding
with the vehicle of an innocent by
stander. and was saved from doing so
only by the timely interference of Of
ficer George Rolf who was guarding
the public peace near the corner of
FIRST and Alder. From that point on,

who finally brought the race to an end

FIGHTS POLL TAX LAW
A. /. NiCho| Of Yakima Pays Fine
But Appeals Case

NORTH YAKIMA, June SIN the
police court yesterday. the fight over
the poll tax ordinance was begun when
A. N. Nicol, until recently city engi-
neer, paid his tax and IS fine under
protest, and gave notice of appeal to
the superior court. Another resident,
arrested on the same charge, that OF
refusing, failing or neglecting to pay"
the tax, also will appeal, his case be-
ing continued in the court this morn
ing. Both men put up bail on being
arrested, and were Immediately re-
leased
While there is some doubt as to the
validity Of the poll tax, lawyers think
that the real point at issue is the va
lidity of an ordinance which makes
failure to pay a tax a mlsdemeanor
and punishable by fine or Imprisonment
It's constitutionality is much doubted.
If the ordinance is turned down on
that account, the tax goes with it.

Begins Suit Against OR. & n. for
Injuries Received In Wreck

Demanding $4,000 for personal in
r. & n. near Cayuse station, April
10, Lew wy Hin. Chinaman has
commenced suit in the circuit court
at Portland.
1t is charged that the railbed at
Cayuse, where the train plunged into
the Umatilla river, was defective and
unsafe: that the rails were worn and
and broken, and that the fianges on
the wheels of the cars and engine
were worn and unfit for USE These
charges are made tQ prove that the
negligence of the railroad company
vas the primary cause of the wreck.
Lew Wy Hin, a Chinaman, who was
on the train, alleges that he sustained
a broken back when the train went
into the river, disabling him for life.
He asks $4,000 damages for his in
juries
The company alleges that the acci-
dent was caused by the formation of
a spring under the roadbed by the
heavy downpour of rain and that it
was a trouble that could neither be
foreseen nor guarded against.
1t is said that a number of DAM
age suits against the o. r. & n. will
follow if Lew wy Hin is successful
in securing a verdict. Others who
were injured in the wreck at Cayuse
are known to have retained attor-
neys and the attorneys regard the
case now on trial as a test case

JUDGE HANFORD
SETS DATE
Hearing Of 0. B. 8 n. Against
Commission June II

Judge C. H. Hanford in the United
States court at Seattle yesterday fixed
June II as the date for the Washing
ton state railway commission to show
cause why it should not be restrained,
as asked by the 0. r. & n. from hear
ing complaints June 81 relating to the
interchange of traffic between the O..
r. & n. and other roads.
This is another step in the fight by
the railroad company against the pro-
mitigation or enforcement of any joint
wheat rate order similar to the one
made by the state commission at the
ColfaX hearing, August l, 1906. which
was temporarily enjoined by the fed
eral court later and recently withdrawn
by the commission.
The hearing set by Judge Hanford
for June II, is occasioned by the second
supplemental bill of complaint in the
case of the Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
ton company against the members of
the commission. Attorney General John
D. Atkinson, and the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific. This second bill
reiterates the prayers of the original
complaint, that the act creating the
state commission be declared unconsti-
tutional, and that the commission be
ders against the o. r. &. N. Zera Snow,
of Portland, solicitor, represented the
plaintiff company in presenting the
amended bill to the court.
Among other things, the bill recites
that the joint wheat rate order was
passed August. 1, 1906, requiring the
railroad company, upon demand OF any
shipper along it's line, to haul wheat in
carload lots to Wallula junction for de-
livery to the Great Northern. The
commission fixed a maximum rate of
$685. per ton for the entire haul over
all lines, but the division between the
companies was not fixed This order
was the result of the hearing by the
railway commission at Colfax last
summer.
On May 13, the commission. acting
under amendments to the commission
law passed at the last session. formal
ly revoked the joint wheat rate order
Of August I. 1906, but passed another
directing the companies to appear on
June 21 and answer certain complaints
touching joint traffic. This order. so
the O. r. & N. claims. paved the way
for another joint rate order and it is
to block such an order that the cor
poration now asks an injunction.
1t is expected that several promi-
nent ranchers Of the Walla Walla VAL
ley will he present on the date set for
the hearing.
