RECEIVER IS APPOINTED.
Stockholders of Rupert Steamship Co..
Asked Court for Receiver to Wind
Up Business.

Suit was instituted in the superior
court last week by Phil. S. Locke, s.
X. Bowes and DR.. Paul Smits, as
stockholders of the Rupert Steamship
Company to have a receiver appoint
ed, for the purpose of winding up it's
affairs, and on Saturday the court
appointed w. r. Macfarlane, fixing
his bond at 100000.
The company was formed with
capital stock of $4,000, divided into
IS shares. The steamer A. G. Lind
say was bought at Cleveland, Ohio.
and brought around the Horn. III
fortune followed the vessel on her
long trip, and when she arrived her
was in debt over $4,000. The slump
had occurred in the lumber market
and charters were scarce and freights
low, and it was found that to put the
ship in repair, including change to
oil burning, would cost $4,000, and
the stockholders decided to have a
received placed in charge, to close
up the business of the company.

IN ITALIAN GULCH.
Beauty Spot of Aberdeen Isolated
Among Verdure Clad Hills in
Highland Home.

Italian gulch, the name given to
part of Highland Home addition for
the reason that it is inhabited by a
colony of sons of sunny Italy and
their families, is a beauty spot in Alb
erdeen. There are a dozen houses,
several of them architecturally at
tractive, which nestle in a valley un-
derneath evergreen clad hills. The
inhabitants employ themselves in
growing vegetables, raising poultry
and living generally the simple life,
for rarely, if ever, is heard any sto-
ries of conflicts or disagreements in
that locality. The Italian colony is
peaceful and law-abiding and live a
life of contentment and comfort far
from the maddening crowd. On a
bright day walk as far as Italian
gulch is worth the while.

Will AID PRESIDENT
MINORITY In Congress WILL
ASSIST ROOSEVELT.
Democratic Leader Gives His Party'S
Views on Executive Message.
DemOCtatS Solid For EMPLOYERS
Liability, Regulating Child Labor,
free Paper and Other Measures.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Rep-
resentative John Sharp Williams, of
Missippi, the democratic leader in the
house of representatives, has issued
to the press a written statement de-
fining the attitude of the Democratic
party in the house toward legislation
urged by President Roosevelt in his
messages to congress at the present
session. The statement describes
what republican legislation the DEM
Ocrats will support, what they will
oppose, and what concessions they
demand on the part of the majority
as the price of refraining from an
organized filibuster throughout the
remainder of the session. Mr.. Will
liams says:
Insofar as the things urged by
the president are good things, l would
like the country to know that all he
has to do is to deliver twenty or
twenty-five republican house votes in
favor of them. These conjoined with
the solid democratic votes will put
them through"
Mr.. Williams notes the following
measures as the ones which will
command virtually the solid demo-
cratic vote within constitutional
limits.":
nj 1nfo hi Of
paign contributions.
Prohibition of child labor in the
District of Columbia and the terri
tories.
An employers liability law, drawn
to conform to the recent decisions of
the supreme court.
Federal liability to government
employees.
A law to prohibit the issuance of
injunctions without notice to the
party enjoined.
Removal of the tariff on wood
pulp and printing paper.
Imposition of federal charge for
every water power right granted on
a naviagble stream.
Those principles and measures
urged by the president with which
Mr.. Williams, as minority leader,
takes issue are enumerated as fol-
lows:
The penalizing Of the boycott.
The right of the attorney general
to nominate receivers when common
carriers are thrown into the hands of
receiver.
Modification Of the Sherman anti
trust law so as to permit within linn
itations the maintenance of trusts
and the making of trade agreements
between combinations of capital.

PERNICI0US POLICY
QUEER Land TITLES GIVEN SET.
Tiers BYTIMBER COMPANY.
WeYerhaeuSer Timber Co. in Selma
the LOgged-Otf Lands, Makes so
Many Reservations as to DiSCOur.
age the Settlement OF Those
Lands.

The suit of Polish settler in the
Wishkah valley over his land title,
which was decided in the superior
court last week, has called attention
to the reservations made by the Wey-
erhaeuser Timber Company, when
selling logged-of lands. Reserva-
tiOns that will tend to block the de-
velopment of Western Washington if
continued.
1t transpired in the course of this
trial that the Weyerhaeuser COM
pany has adopted form of deed that
actually gives the purchaser but lit
tie title beyond the right to pay
taxes on the land. After reserving
all the railroad rights of way, the
company reserves "the right to pass
over said lands in any manner GUS
tOmary in logging" This could be
construed to mean that logging roads
could be run anywhere on the prem
ises; over settlers clearing,
through his barn or dooryard. When
it is considered that the bottom lands
is but small percentage of the whole
it will be seen what uncertainty con-
fronts the settler.
Next the company reserves all oils,
minerals, etc, that may be discovered
on the land, and the right to develop
mines, etc. This "etc" may cover
almost anything, and the owner of
a most unpleasant predicament if af-
ter he had his land cleared and in
cultivation oil or mineral, or "etc.,"
should be discovered upon it. The
company would own the discovery
and the right to develop that might
result in actual confiscation of all
the labor of years, as we'll as the orig
inal purchase money.
The crying need of this country is
the development of it's lands after the
timber is removed, and the climate,
soil and all conditions are exceeding
ly favorable to agriculture and horti-
culture, is especially adapted tC
dairying, but with this company
owning each alternate section OF
of land, seeking to sell it's logged-off
lands and at the same time retain
such extensive interests is calculated
to hold the country back more years
than are readily calculable.
The state has it in it's power tC
remedy this evil, if the present laws
do not cover it. Every right reserv-
ed in the land is the property of the
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and
should be taxed as such. AS is now
the custom, when this company sells
land, it is Immediately assessed tC
the purchaser, just as if he received
real title, and the company, with its
extensive interests, goes free. 1t is
subject that might be~ taken ur
with advantage to the state by the
tax commission. An equitable tax
assessed against those rights, and de-
Quoted from the land assessment OF
the settler would cause this company
to sit up and take notice, if it did not
cause a change in its system of sell
ing lands.

CAPT. STREAMS EXPERIENCES.
Bright Young Commander of Schoon-
er Watson With Wife, Has
Braved Many Dangers.

Captain Thomas Stream of the
schooner w. G. Watson, recently ac-
quilted by jury in the superior
court in Montesano of the charge of
assault with intent to kill Albert
Hellig, sailor on that vessel, has
experiences although he is not much
over 25 years of age. His wife,
slender little woman, has been with
her husband through each of his APP
parent hair-breadth escapes and was
present with him also during his
trial, which meant, if it had gone the
other way, a term of imprisonment.
Captain Stream is the son of Cap
tain A. L. Stream, a well known and
popular commander on the Pacific
coast from whom the son undoubted-
ly inherits his prediction for the
sea. Captain Tom Stream when only
ii years old began his seafaring life
as cook on vessel sailing from Seat
tie to Alaska. Later he was in the
government transport service and
pacities, up to his 21st year, when he
passed a splendid examination and
received his masters papers. His
first command was the tug Cudahy,
then he went to the tug Daring, and
after the Daring became master of
the schooner Abbie.
On the last day of December, 1901,
he was married in San Francisco and
started with his bride for Seattle as
passengers on the steamer Walla
Walla. The Walla Walla foundered
the first night out and Captain and
Mrs. Stream were thirty hours in an
open boat before being rescued. They
lost all their clothing and wedding
presents.
In 1905 Captain Stream became
part owner and commander of the
schooner Emma Claudina, which was
abandoned off the Washington coast,
through no fault of the crew. Mrs.
Stream was transferred in yawl in
rough sea to the schooner Mary
Winkleman, which fortunately hove
in sight. Although sensational sto-
ries were published of Mrs. Streams
being lashed to mast and cast
adrift, she did not even get her feet
wet in the change from one schooner
to the other. For six days she did
not again see her husband and was
on the verge of despair lest he should
have been drowned. Captain and
Mrs. Stream lost all of their personal
effects on the Claudina.
Mrs. Stream is musician of con-
siderable ability and the Watson is
probably the only coastwise sailing
vessel with a piano in the cabin. But
the instrument, according to Mrs.
Stream, helps to va"y the monotony
of an ocean voyage q. a sailing ship.
Mrs. Stream accompanies her hus-
band to San Francisco on the present
trip of the Watson.

iff.
Mr. Williams frankly states that
ne does not know whether a majority
of the minority favors the creation of
permanent waterways commission
Referring to the presidents dec
laration that child tabor ought to be
prohibited throughout the nation and
his recommendation that at least a
model child labor bill should be
passed for the District of Columbia"
Mr.. Williams says:
Child labor ought to be prohibited
throughout the nation, but the
states are the sole authorities having
constitutional power to prohibit"
Commencing the president for his
recommendation for the immediate
enactment of an employers liability
law Mr.. Williams says
There is no excuse for the delay
on the part of the republican men,
bers of the house judiciary committee
to report an employers liability law.
Their delay at least arouses, if it does
not justify, a suspicion that they are
having a lot of useless hearings SIM
ply for the purpose of using that bill
as buffer to prevent serious con-
sideration of other bills before the
committee"
After quoting the presidents dec
laration that nothing should be
done to legalize a black list or boy
colt that would be illegal at common
law" Mr.. Williams says:
''It is sad commentary upon this
utterance of his that, while the fed
eral courts have held that boycott
is combination in restraint of trade,
and therefore Illegal, they have vir-
tually upheld the employer in his as
sertion of a right to blacklist. Be-
cause one federal court went so far
as to say that because the employer
ing any notice at all, therefore he
had a right to discharge because the
discharged man was a member of a
labor union. 1t is poor rule that
does not work both ways. Another
decision of a federal court-the de-
cision of Judge Gould-has gone SO
far as to say that labor mans news
paper should not publish the name
of a firm under the heading we don't
patroniZe.' A man has a right to
| patrOniZe or not to patrOnize any
body, according to his own free will,
and he therefore has the right to
publish those whom he does not pat
ronize.'
The presidents recommendation of
law to place wood pulp on the free
list, with a corresponding reduction
upon paper made from wood pulp,
when they come from any country
that does not put an export duty on
them" meets with Mr. Williams ap-
proval, except that it does not go
quite far enough. Not only wood
pulp ought to be placed on the free
list, he says, "but print paper ought
to be placed there also. The pub
fishers will not be very much bene-
fitted by the placing of wood pulp
upon the free list if there be only
slight reduction of the duty upon
the print paper"
| Mr.. Williams says:
"The presidents preparation for
tariff revision by consideration at the
hands of commission composed of
members of the house and senate and
sO-called experts is both cumber-
some and useless. The very best pos
sible tariff commission is commits
sion consisting of the representatives
of the people selected by the people
in the interest of the people,

9 o'clock Friday evening the fire bell
alarmed our citizens. The fire started
in the telephone central office and had
gained considerable headway when the
water was turned on by the hose COM
pany. Mrs. Lorenson was attending
to her duties as central when her little
son, Glenn, 5 years old, upset a kero-
sene lamp. the oil catching fire as it ran
on the floor. Ralph knight who was
going by heard Mrs Lorenson scream
and he ran in and promptly threw the
lamp into the street, while Frank kitt-
redge. who also arrived promptly on
the scene. tried his best to extinguish
due the fact that the conflagration was
not larger. The damage done to the
telephone office is $780, fully insured.
but the Hudson telephone company did
not fare so we'll, for their damage will
amount to fully $500, as the switchboard
was ruined and considerable other dam
age done The home telephone service
is also out OF commission and will be
until the new switch board arrives and
is put in place in the new office, which

WOMAN CLAIMS
TO BE A NIECE OF
SENATOR ALLISON

Yankton, S. D.. Aug. 1o-A relative
of the late Senator Allison has been
discovered in this city, according to the
local press the lady being a Mrs. j. e.
Anderson, whose husband is in the
teamster business and in quite poor
circumstances. Mrs. Anderson is the
daughter of Mrs. Robert Fuller who
resided here for years and often claimed
relationship to Senator Allison through
her mother. who was q sister OF the
senator, Mrs. Fuller therefore. with two
other sisters, being nieces. All three
nieces are still alive. Mrs. Anderson
says her mother, who married a sec
ond time and was Mrs. Allen by her
first marriage, is now residing in Sc
attic and that she has the family rec
ords to prove her relationship to the
dead senator. AS further proof Mrs.
Anderson says her mother named son
William Allison Fuller after the dead
senator. Mrs. Anderson says she gave
little thought to the news of Senator
Allisons death as she supposed he had
brothers and sisters, although she knew
mis- wife was dead.

MAYOR DO0L|TTLE
ATTACHES RECORDS
OF CITY ENGINEER
Spirited Fight Between Council
and Mayor Over Appoint
ment of New officer.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Aug. 10.-Failing
10 secure the confirmation of his ap-
pointment of a successor to L. e. Hen
bricks, city engineer, Mayor Doolittle,
through City Attorney Grigsby has
seized the books and papers in the Of
flee of the engineer and has thrown
the affairs pertaining to that office in
to a deadlock until the cause shall be
tried out in the courts.
The action of the mayor follows one
of the most spirited contests between
council and city executive that has ever
taken place in Sioux Falls and there
is no prospects of compromise at
the present time.
The cause of the contention is gen.
orally regarded as growing out of an
effort on the part of the mayor to pay
off some political obligations formed
at the time OF his election in the spring.
He has proposed several candidates for
the position of city engineer. but the
council has invariably turned them
down by a decisive vote. Recent ap-
pointments We're S. b. Howe. of this
place, and the city engineer Of Mitch
ell, but the council gave them but short
shrift. AT the last meeting of the coun-
ell, Mayor Doolittle refused to sub
init the bill OF the city engineer for
services and the council took up the
bill and approved 1t over the protest of
the executive who now retaliates by
selling the official records Of the en-
gineer and likewise refuses to order q
warrant drawn for the salary of the
engineer. The difficulty will now be
1hreShed out in the courts.

COMMISSION MAKING
PHYSICAL VALUATION

Deadwood s. D., Aug. 11.--When the
state railroad commission next listens
to complaints of Irregularities or in
equalities in the rates charged Black
Hills shippers. it will have before it
complete data concerning the valuation
of the roads and their improvements
instead of having to rely upon the word
of the railroad attorneys as in the
past. Members of the commission. to-
gether with Carl c. Wit. civil engineer,
and his assistant and e. f. Schwartz,
clerk of the board. are now on a tour
Of the Black Hills lines of the railroads.
The commission is making physical
valuation of the roads over which it
travels, a work for which the last leg
islature appropriated $4,000, every cent
of which will be expended before the
year and a half which the commission
figures 1t will take to complete the
work. This observation trip has been
preceded by months of hard work on
the part Of numerous clerks and inves-
tigators who secured data from other
sources.
