IMMIGRATION INTO
STATE INCREASES
AS SHOWN BY THE FIGURES
And the Greatest Number Consisted of
Farmers and Farm LabOrers-
The List CLASSIFIED.

There was a moderate increase in
immigration into the state of Wash

farmers and farm laborers, rather
than in men destined for city occu-
ence for rural as against urban life

The whole number of aliens admit

last fiscal year who declared their
destination as the state of Washing
ton was 94S2, of whom only 1864 were
women and children. The number ad-
mtted in the fiscal year 1906 was
S174, of whom 563 We're classed as
having no ccupation-that is, as
women and children.
The number of farmers from foreign
countries declaring Washington as

Homemade Remedy for Rheumatisn,
To relieve the worst forms of rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol.
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid extract dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
compound syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in q bottle.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from any good pharmacy.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority. forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
rheumatism. Relief is felt from the
first few doses.
1t is said that n person who would
take this prescription regularly, a dose
or two daily. or even few times
week, would never have serious kid
ney or urinary disorders or rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve II. Good
rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve. are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it you want it badly.

The school bond issue in the sum
of $150,OO0 carried Saturday, and
when the votes were counted it was
found that there were 10 to spare.
AS may be ina ined there was great
rejoicing among those whose deep
interest in school affairs had prompt
ed them to devote the day to earnest
effort in behalf of the issue. Among
these were school teachers and many
ladies Of the city, and not few of
the districts heaviest taxpayers.
A total of 913 votes were cast. Of
these 654 were in favor of the bonds.

money in its treasury the board will
be unhampered in selecting site

STILL PARLEY|NG
ON CONSTRUCTION
STEWART M0DIF|ES the FIGURES
Regarding the Damage to the North
ern Pacific If North Coast Ran Over
Its Right Of Way.

Alexander Stewart, assistant chief
recalled to the witness stand by the
Northern Pacific Friday morning in
stated that in his direct testimony he
had said that the total damage to the
Northern Pacific if the North Coast
were granted their proposed right of
way would be Sill 900, and he wished
to modify this figure, reducing it to
sos, 900. He said that since he was
first on the stand he had examined
profiles prepared by the Northern Pa
cific and found that he overestimated
the amount of filling and riprapping
required. Mr.. Stewart stated that the
North Coast could build an overland
grade crossing 1900 feet north OF the
proposed location at Parker siding for
sos, 900, which would be $4,000
cheaper than the one proposed.
The North Coast witnesses have ties
tilted that the roadbed Of the proposed
line from Granger on the west side
OF the river and crossing the North
ern Pacific siding would cost approx
imately 100000. The Northern Pacific
has shown in it's testimony that from
surveys made by it's engineers of this
cost of constructing the road would
be about s23s.O00
l.. VI. Rice, engineer for the North
crn Pacific, was placed on the stand
during the afternoon, and testified,
as to the amount of material required
for filling, etc, for an overhead
crossing a. Parker siding, and at a
point 1900 feet north of the siding.
He testified to the necessary materi-
al that would be required in building
an embankment If the Northern Pa
cific desired to double track through
the gap from the siding IL the North
Coast builds a line on the proposed
location. He stated that the addition
al cost for raising the Northern Pa
cific grade above the proposed o..
grade 10 admit a span under the cross
ing for the North Coast at Union
Gap would be $4,000; for an under
crossing at the gap the cost would be
s35 900. He stated that the line on the
east side of the river is four tenths
miles shorter than the proposed line
of the North Coast on the west side
which would make a saving in track
material OF $1,000 He said the value
of distance saved in building a limo
on the east side of the river would be
about $4,000.
He stated that an overhead grade
crossing at Parker siding would cost
$4,000, but an overhead crossing
1900 feet north OF Parker would cost
only $4,000. which Would make a diff
ference OF $4,000
When court adjourns this evening
these cases will be postponed until
Thursday. April 4. This is on account
of Judge Rigg being compelled to pre-
side at Ellensburg on the card. and
the criminal cases being set for Feb
ruary 10. The Judge endeavored ia

UNCLE SAM'S IMMIGRATION.
Associated Press to The Evening Times

Washington, D. c.. March 2s.-The
problem; OF securing desirable immi-
grants for the south and west, where
laborers and settlers are badly need
ed, is one of the questions that is
vexing Uncle Sam; how to stop the
flood of emigration to the Canadian
northwest is another question quite
as urgent. The alluring literature
spread broadcast by the land boomers
of western Canada is having its effect
and hundreds of eastern and middle
west farmers are leaving or prepar-
ing to leave for the land of promise.
1t is likely that the flood of emigrants
will greatly increase next spring, ow-
ing to the extension of four lines of
railroad in the Canadian prairie coun-
try between the )akes and the Rock
les. Five thousand miles of railway
is now under construction and near
ing completion in that territory, four
great transcontinental lines being
represented. During the next year
hundreds of new towns will probably
spring up and the Canadian immigra-
tion agents will continue their work
of securing settlers from the United
States and England with renewed
zeal. 1t is likely that many thousands
will accept the invitation. Meanwhile,
the south is clamoring for laborers,
the undeveloped: portions Of the west
for settlers, and Uncle Sam is scratch
ing his head vainly for a solution of
the problem thus presented.

AGAINST PEONAGE,
Crusade Begun by U. s. Government
Being Pursued with Vig0r.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.

Charleston, S. c., March 2s.-The
government is considerably interested
in habeas corpus case which came
before Judge Brawyel of the supreme
court today, as the result will have
an important bearing on the crusade
undertaken by the federal authorities
against peonage practices in the south
and elsewhere. The primary purpose
of the habeas corpus proceeding is to
test the constitutionality of the state
law which makes it a misdemeanor
for laborer to leave his employer
without just cause where he has been
working on shares and where he has
received advances. Many OF the
southern states have such laws. The
original intent of the statute was to
protect the farmer against negro labor
but in practice the law has been made
an effective agent by unscrupulous
contractors in the peonage cases.
The case now before the court is
that of Ernest Drayton, who escaped
from what the government charges
was a peonage camp. He was cap
tured and imprisoned because he was
deeply in debt to his employer and re-
fused to return to work when appre-
hended. The government will at
tempt to prove that the law is in
violation of the thirteenth amendment
to the constitution,

THAW'S NERVE
BEGINNING

His Friends Fear a Collapse Un-
der the Strain Unless the Case
Ends Soon
FIRST SESSION OF
COMMISSION TODAY
May Take a Week to Examine
All Witnesses---Thaw Will
Be Iractable

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
New York, March 2S.-This after
noon will see the first session of the
commission which is to determine
whether Harry K. Thaw, is sane or in
sane. Daniel O'Reilly, of counsel for
IhaW, said yesterday that Thaw will
surely take the witness stand before
the commission and answer all of its
questions, and further that he will
submit to a physical examination by
any experts sent to him for that pur-
pose.
It is said about the criminal courts
building last night that it may re-
quire a week or more for the COM
mission to hear all of the witnesses
who will be cited to appear.
AS 1t Is, Thaw is becoming nervous
and excitable under the strain. His
friends and relatives fear that he will
break down unless the case ends soon.
His wife, too. is giving way. When
she and Mrs. VIM. Thaw went to
Thaw's cell yesterday, after he had
been told of McClure's appointment in
place of Judge O'Brien, it is said she
collapsed.
The Lunacy commission went into
open session at 2:O6 p. m. Thaw an
peared before the commission immedi-
ately, taking a seat inside the clerks
rail. The session is being held in
Justice Ffzgerald's court. Thaw's
counsel suggested that If personal
examination of the defendant is
deemed necessary, it should be held
in private.
The commission announced that
Thaw's physical and mental examina-
tion would be private.

Decision Reverses Judge Hallan

IN RE $6O,OOO,OOO
ISSUE OF NEW STOCK


Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Paul, March 2S.-The state su-
preme court today filed an opinion
revising the order of Judge Hallam in
the Ramsey county district court, in
the case of the State VS.. the Great
Northern. Judge Hallam held that the
Great Northern railroad had not the
right to issue $60,000,000 additional
stock without first submitting to a
hearing before the state railroad and
warehouse commission, to determine
the necessity and purpose Of the issue.
He issued temporary restraining
order, prohibiting that issue.
The supreme court reversed that Or
der, holding that the railroad had the
right to make that issue.
The court holds that the legislature
having created railway corporations
for public purposes has the right to
regulate increases in their capital
stock and determine for what pur-
poses it may be issued and on what
terms and limitations. The legislature
may delegate to the commission the
duty of finding the facts in each par
ticular case. Any legislation allowing
the commission to decide for what pur-
pose the stock should be issued is un-
constitutional.
