The Interstate COmerce Com mission having declined the re- quest of various railroad mana gers to extend the time for com plying with the provisions of the "hOurs of service" law, which went into effect on Wednesday March 4th, 1t has been necessary for the railroad companies to em- ploy a large number ofadditional telegraph operators to abide by the requirements of the new law, which prohibits an operator handling train orders working more than 9 hours in any 24 hour period at offices which are open day and night At any office open only during the day time an operator may be kept on duty for thirteen hours, but at offices only open during the night nine hours IS the limit. In all cases eight consecutive hours of rest must be given during each twenty four hour period.
 In order to live up to these pro- visions if will be necessary for the Santa Fe Company to put on between twenty and twenty five additional operators between Albuquerque and Seligman, the offices open night and day under the old rules being handled by two men, W Orking twelve hours each. All offices now kept open day and night will be gwen three operators, working nine hours each, no meal hours being allow ed. At the greater portion ot the former "One-man" stations, an additional operator has been pro- vided, doing away with the old "call bell' system, by which the operator was summoned when ever needed out side of his regu- lar hours.
 By the provisions of the new law trainmen and englnemen must not be kept on duty for more than sixteen hours at one time, and then are required to be given ten hours rest before start ing on a new trip. Under the present conditions 1t is not thought that any increase in the

supervision and control of the Council who have power to pun 1sh mismanagement, neglect or other fault. This should be the case here and should be so voted by any person having the good of the community at heart. Under the present law, we must needs await the action of the grand jury to correct any mismanage- ment, error or other fault. No action to be taken by the Coun- cil however, without full notice and hearing to be given.
 Some person having their own objects in view has circulated the report that the Marshal's and Clerks offices has been abolished as an elective office by the new law. We will state that this is emphatically incorrect. The pres ent ordinances of the town pre- vail in th1s matter of the election of these different officials. Any person having interest enough to read the new charter can quickly discover the futiIity of the argu- ment that these officials are no more elected.
 Remember. a vote for the New Charter means better local gov ernmenr; 1t will provide better system of handling the finances of the town; it will invest the Council with that dignity which should go with the highest cleo tive gift in the possession of the electors of the town; 1t will make the matter of liability of the town in suits for damages, etc., exactly within the provinces of the law as stated Tn last week S issue; it will mean that the Coun- cil will supervise the matter of local government and correct any mismanagement; it means that the town will be taking a step in the right direction and keeping well to the front with the other towns and cities of the territory.

WinslOW Notes.
From the Mail. In Regard to the New
 Charter.

charter to be voted upon the 10th of this month. We regret that space will not permit this being done as the new act IS of a very bulky character, and contains pages enough to engulf several editions of this paper.
 We have already called atten- tion to the good points of the Act and in this issue wish to com- ment on a few in particular.
 We occasionally hear argument regarding the matter of public ownership of different public utili- ties operating in this town. This or any other incorporated com ,nunity has exactly as much power as the statutes and Ord1- nances perscribe. Under this old law and all ordinances operative here the question of public own ersh1p IS evidenced by q vast silence. The new charter IS plain and explicit on this particular point and gives a community availing itself of the advantages therein noted, the power to own and control any enterprise opera ting within it's limits.
 A vote for the new charter means a vote for public owner ship and control at no distant date.
 Under the old law Par 6S4 of the Revised Statutes It says, "that the treasurer shall keep his books and accounts in such man. ner as the Council may provide. " This Act is at the bottom of the slip shOd methods that may often prevail in this office in some places operating under the old law. Under the new Act the du- ties of the treasurer regarding the matter of his books and ac- counts is asfollOws: "Topresent to the Council at each regular meeting thereof, a full and detailed statement of the amounts of money belonging to the City or Town, received by him and also the amounts by him disbursed during the preceding month and the state of each particular fund, which statement shall be verified by his oath" This clause of the new law is in itself suflcent req son why this act should be promptly adopted. As far as the finances of the Town are con- cerned, it affords protection that may not be obtained in any other way.
 Under the new law all officers of the town must do their duty, or else incur the penalty of suspen- sion or removal. This phase of matters is not provided for in the

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

l. K. Luce, a prominent farmer six
and half miles west of Palouse, has
a lemon grown on a tree in his yard
which weighs one and quarter
pounds. The tree was grown by Mr..
Luce from a seed and bears several
lemons each year.
For the second time within three
months, the five small children of A.
Jones, until recently engaged in farm
ing near Palouse City, are left penni-
less and helpless, to depend upon the
charity of the people or to live at the
expense of the county.
Following upon the heels of the cut
ting scrape recently at Cornell, the
county officials have ordered all sa-
looms and all business houses closed
at midnight Saturday night and to re-
main closed during Sunday.
All business ceased at Ellensburg
during the funeral services for the
victims of the powder house explosion
recently. What remained of the shat
tered bodies, with the exception of the
body of George Meade, the company's
store manager, were buried in the
cemetery at Clealum. The cause of
the explosion is still unknown. Officials
of the company believe that the ex-
plosion was the result of rolling cans
of powder over grains of the explosive
which had fallen on the floor

ADMINISTRATION
NAVY BUREAU HELD FCR The
CRITICISM OF BOATS.
If Ships Are Being Constructed on
Wrong Lines, President Roosevelt
Will Call HaIt-Commander Keys
Report on the North Dakota Calls
Forth Prompt Action by President.

Prospects are that row in the navy
department is due that will make the
Reuterdahl-Capp upheaval
of this spring appear tame. The dis
turbance is expected this week when
the president and a distinguished
gathering of naval officers will meet at
the navy war college at Newport Criti-
cism of the new battleship North Da-
kota will be the subject and the presi-
dent is determined to get to the bot
tom of the facts.
If the ships are being constructed
on wrong lines he intends to call
halt on further plans along these
lines, and the clash of bureaus that
will ensue in that event will be aug
mented by the crashing of the big
stick on ancient custom Great pre-
cautions are being taken to keep the
public in ignorance of the discussion.
The first topic TO be taken up, and
the real cause for the calling of the
conference is the report of Com
mander Key to the president, in which
he made sweeping criticism of the
North Dakota, sister ship of the Della
ware. These criticisms have been kept
a profound secret, even from naval
officers. 1t is accepted that one of the
chief criticisms made relates TO arma-
ments. The manner in which the 10
12-inch guns We're mounted was a mat
ter Of discussion at the time the plans
were drawn. The bureau Of ordnance
at the time declined to permit any
interference with its plans
IL would surprise few if the presi-
dent, IN view of all the circumstances,
abolished the present naval board on
construction and substituted for il a
board of design with wholly different
membership.
IN the opinion of naval officers sta
toned here there rs every prospect
for the greatest row In years IN the
department IN may mean the deposi-
ton of several of the older officers
who have run affairs al their own
sweet viii for many years. AS these
officers have friends in high places the
