TO HEAR ATTACK on
X. II. COMMISSION SOON

A hearing Of the case wherein the
Oregon Railroad e Navigation com
pany attempts to have the United
States court declare the act creating
the state railroad commission uncon-
stitutional and without effect will
come up October 29, if the court is
able to dispose Of the land fraud cases
by that date.
April 22, upon petition Of the
Portland Chamber Of Commerce, the
state railroad commission issued an
order establishing a schedule OF
freight rates to be charged for the
delivery of freight to points within
the limits Of the state. The Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company then
went TO the United States court for
an injunction which prevented the
order from being placed in effect. The
complaint filed by the railroad COM
pany alleges that in January, 1904, il
entered into an agreement with the
Union Pacific and the oregon Short
Line whereby rate was put into ef-
feet between eastern common points
and Pacific coast common points, and
that II costs no more for the shipper
to have his goods arrive at Portland
and then be returned to him than II
would to deliver them direct.
BY the order Of the commission
they allege that great reduction VIII
he made I'm their earnings, and that
the provisions of the act giving the
commission exemption from court re-
view Of their orders is Illegal, for the
reason that the judicial branch Of the
government is expressly prohibited
from exercising its Joint functions.

SOWING ALFALFA
AMONG APPLE TREES

A subscriber asks whether II will do
to seed an apple orchard to alfalfa.
do not favor sowing any kind of per-
manent grass crop in the orchard
simply for the reason that the roots
of the growing and bearing trees will
require all the strength there is In the
soil; and, besides, these trees will need
all the moisture in the soil. Alfalfa
would, no doubt be injurious to the
trees. because its roots will work down
deep into the soil. During the first
three years after an apple orchard has
been set out the ground between the
rows may be put i'm some cultivated
or hoed crop. But when the trees
begin bearing | believe in giving them

ON January 1st the Western Land

water through It's reconstructed ditch,

City. one Of the heaviest stockholders
In the concern, who is in Pendleton

Cleaver Of Echo, who is in charge Of
the company's interests at that place,
is also a visitor here.
According 10 Mr.. Mesner the work
now under way increases the capacity
Of the ditch to one half more than
formerly. or about 1900 miners

work Is now done, and only about a
mile Of ditch now remains to be en-
larged This is at the upper end, just
below the headgates.
The company is now engaged in
putting in headgates for the ditch.
These are Of reinforced concrete, with
steele gates and viii be capable, says
Mr Mesner, Of controlling $50 feet

CLANSMAN HAS
COME AND GONE
FAMOUS PLAY STAGED
UNDER DIFFICULTY
Good Melodrama Well Played-Some
inequalities In Supporting Gust
Scntimcnt Expressed in Play Greet
cd With Loud Applause-Not Room
ON Stage for Complete Production.

Pendleton playgoers last night saw
the much-heralded "Clansman." a
production curtailed by force of the
inadequacy of the stage at the New
Oregon, but staged by the best efforts
OF company playing under difficult
ties and acted to the highest ability
OF capable players. As in most COM
panies there were inequalities in the
support. but while the players might
have been more evenly balanced there
were some splendid bits of acting, dis
tinct. clear cut cameo-like against the
background of the grey and black
days of the southern reconstruction.
The stage settings showed eviden-
ces of more than one OF the CLANS
mans four seasons but their air Of
decayed gentility was In keeping with
the time. Only two OF the eight
horses appeared on the stage but
| that was because of It's size and far
more people We're surprised that
there We're two than were keenly dis
appointed in not seeing more.
Thomas DiXon's play dramatized
| from his novels, The Clansman" and
The Leopard's Spots" Is as frankly
anti-negro in its sentiment as the
novels We're sensational in theirs. The
days of the reconstruction were times
that tried mems souls and although
one may condemn the sectional pre-
judice and racial hatred which the
| play seeks to revive there runs
through it a stirring, thrilling trum-
pet call that found a response i'm tre-
mendous applause last night in the
stand of the Clansmen for the pro-
lection of the womanhood of the
south.
Right or wrong. the Ku Kluk Klan
existed and fought such battles as
those Of the play. Prejudiced or just,
the picture given was the picture as
the south saw it. It's friends de-
clare the "Clansman" an answer to
"Uncle Toms Cabin"-but who shall
say. 1t is sufficient that 1t Is a good
melodrama, well played.
As Slas Lynch. the negro lieuten-
ant-governor who aspired TO the
daughter of the northern abolitionist
who had given him his position,
Charles Wilson was convincing-pla
ed the part as he might have lived it.
Franklin Ritchie, the Clansman, was
reserved-and sure. Little Claire
Mersereaus, the child-victim of a ne
gro brute, was a capable little ac-
tress in a different role. Barry Max
well as Nelse. and Maude Durand, as
Eve. his wife. two old negro servants,
were delightful Miss Ruth Hart,
Miss Eugene Hayden and half a doz-
en- others. played. well, but Joseph
Sweeney as the brute Gus, on trial for
| his crime before the Clan in the
darkness of It's cave-did something
powerful and horrifying, but reserv-
ed and with the power of surety In
deed, the acting was notable i'm this
that the players sought no emotional
effects beyond their powers. nor
which they did not attain.

DESPONDENT GIRL
RESCUES HER RESCUERS

Berlin oct. GA remarkable scene
was witnessed at Trepptow, on the
hank of the Upper Spree.
At 6 p. m. a young girl of about is,
who had been walking up and down,
suddenly threw herself into the river.
A shopkeeper named Bauer, who hap
pened to be near, jumped in after her,
and. Notwithstanding her endeavors
to dsengage herself, succeeded In
bringing her to shore, where a num-
ber of hands were ready to receive
her.
BY this time Bauers own strength
had ben exhausted and he sank back
into the water The girl thereupon
dived in after him, and, proving her
self a good swimmer, brought him
bdck In safety. She then walked
away, refusing to give her name.

With the capacity of the new ditch
the company anticipates no trouble
in delivering three acre feet of wa
ter to each acre of land during the
season, and Mr.. Mesner is convinced
that such a supply is fully sufficient
to the needs Of high production upon
the lands under the ditch.
The company is a present engaged
entirely in construction work. None
of its lands are now on the market.

She was a pupil in the high school and
10 years old

at 10 o'clock her mother and sister
went over to the neighbours to inquire
about her and found she had not been
there. Upon their return home they
found some of the girls clothing
gone as well as her suit case.
1t Is possible there has been an
elopement, az indications point to
such.

Cicero and His Daughter.

History abOunds with examples OF
the love that has existed between faith
er and daughter which proved superior
to the changes of time and fortune,
defying even death itself. and enter
ing into the records of humanity i'm
perishable and immortal.
One of the most beautiful instances
was the love OF Cicero for Tullia. She
was woman of high attainments ana
exalted character, with qualities or
heart and mind that peculiarly fitted
her to be her fathers intimate COM
panion.
After her death he could find nelth-
er consolation for her loss nor distrac-
ton for his grief. Affairs OF state,
weighty matters Of political and per-
sonal interest, even the sympathy OF
Brutus and Caesar, could not dispel
the melancholy that settled down upon
his soul and forced him for time into
retirement. He wrote of her in these
touching words: "A daughter l had
in whose sweet conversation l could
drop all my cares and troubles. But
now everything is changed" 1T is
all over with me, Atticus. l feel it
