Appropriations Are Not Cut Down in
the Senate Report.

The final reporting of the river and
harbor bill by the senate committee
removed all doubt as to the items re-
lating to Columbia river improve
ments. All items as inserted in the
house remained intact. The policy
thus indicated is to hasten to compile
ton projects already begun. If the
present managers of the river and har-
bors matters remain in charge in fu-
ture sessions Washington items will
also be unchanged, excepting for
minor increases. The good results
we're attained as a result of the dele
cations of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho working together for harmony
as in no previous session.

JACK KEYS HURT.

Word was received from Vienna
Saturday evening that Jack Keys
had be II mixed up in railroad
wreck, coming out decidedly second
best. He had been in town and
started for home about eight O'Clock
and started to cross the track near
the Melham Bros. lumber office
There is a deep cut there and his
team which was spirited one, was
travelling rapidly and he did not
notice the train until he was nearly
on the track. He tried to stop them
but it was to late and the engine
struck them, killing the team, dem
olishing the sleigh and bruising and
cutting Mr.. Keys badley. He was
taken to town and given medical at
tention, where it was found he had
no broken bones which seems almost
miracle. At last report he was
very weak from loss of blood but with
out complications it was thought he
would recover. Bryant News. Mr.
Keys was former resident of Math
ews township, and well known to old
timers.

residents barley escaped with their

The railroad grade east of Burbank
has been washed out and train service
will be delayed. The water stands

FEDERAL CONTROL OF STOCK
WATERING.

William L. Snyder, writing in tie
Outlook on the oyercapitalization Of
railways, maintains that the federal
government has full powers to deal
with this evil, without the passage of
a constitutional amendment or even
bill in congress modelled on the Min
nesota statue. He cites the recent ac-
tion of attorney general Young in en-
joining the issue of new Great North
ern stock without the consent of the
state railroad commission and traces
the history of the Great Northern lead
ing up to the action
His contention that the federal gov
ernment may itself enjoin and pre-
vent overcapitalization is based on the
control given by the constitution over
interstate commerce. The enormous
overcapitalization of irterst,t ,te roads
operates as direct tax on interstate
commerce and therefore, In spite OF
the fact that all of such railways are
chartered by individual states they are
brought within the purview and juris-
diction of the federal courts. In fact,
Mr.. Snyder argues that the federal
authority is the only one competent
to reach this evil, since a state may in
no way interfere with orimpose bur-
den on inter state commerce.
The argument has the merit of sim
plicity and directness. 1t can read.

are denouncing those Democrats who

be the undisputed right of every
Democrat to investigate and scrutin-
lie every prominent member of the
party and try and discover who will
be the most available candidate. That
ID not done in a spirit of opposition
to Mr.. Bryan personally, but in the
hope that one may be found who can
carry the necessary states to be elect
ed. 1t certainly will not add to Mr..
Bryan's laurels to be again defeated,
and as under his leadership the de-
batable states have been surrendered
to the Republicans, 1t is only political
wisdom to see IL any other candidate
can be selected on whom all factions
