the constitutional right Of the legisla-

power such commission with the au-
thority to establish maximum rates
for transportation Of passengers and
freight, and with power to correct
abuses and prevent discrimination in

1.-TWO courses are open to secure rate
regulation under this decision--one is
through legislative enactment. the
other is by an amendment to the state
constitution cutting out the limitation
and empowering a commission to regu-

states, to regulate all corporations.
From my study of this question
favor the regulation through a COM

OLYMPIA, Feb, 17.-"No matter
what the final outcome of the decision
of Judge Hanford that the railroad
commission cannot fix rates, the great
work Of the commission will remain
for practical use" declared Railroad
Commissioner John Lawrence, Sat-
urday evening. THE data gathered by

many thousands of dollars the state
has spent in securing this data and in
these hearings will not be lost in
any event.
"And even under the decision the
commission is not prevented from con-
tinuing its work to determine the cost
and value of railroad property, the
line of proper investigation"
In answer to an inquiry as to the
effect of Judge Hanford's decision on
the so-called joint wheat rate case,
Governor Mead gave out the following
interview:

legislature, and cannot by it be dele

Against Parents Wishes.

Earl Bushnell and Della Hxon,

surreptitiously but none the less Sc
curely married in La Grande last
night, local minister performing the
ceremony.
But it was a consummation that
was reached only after the sur
mounting of obstacles and protests.
The girls father objected to the
match. As a means of thwarting the
union Rev. Hixon left Elgin yesterday
evening with his daughter and other
members Of the family, intending to
take her to California. But yesterday
was also Miss Della's 18th birthday,
and Mr., Bushnell was also a passen-

other members of the Hixon family,
but was secreted in the baggage car
When they reached La Grande a
license was easily secured, as the
young lady was then of age and there
were no other impedments to the
transaction, and they were married.
In the meantime the proposed trip to
California has been postponed.

this time to note that the president

A Portland dispatch reviews the
experiences of the "Coxey Army" Of
1894 in Oregon in the following
manner:
A few people will remember the
celebrated Coxey army of 1894. This
immense band Of irresponsibles,
gathered from every part of the
United States at the instlgatlon Of
one Jabez Coxey 1--WE have forgot
ten where he lived), in the middle Of
August, started for Washington to
induce President Cleveland to give
them work at living wages.
In Oregon 1904 was bad year.
First came the June freshet in the
Columbia which washed out the O..
r. & N. tracks for hundreds of
miles; then came the great Pullman
strike inaugurated by Debs which
eliminated with 100000 men losing
their jobs and being canned. Finally
came the Coxeyltes.
Instead of marching these men,
1000 strong, captured a freight train
near Portland and compelled the an
gineer to go eastward. The rail-
road company was quick to grasp the
situation and Immediately placed the
train under orders and the outfit
started for Washington
Arriving at The Dalles there was
a bunch of farmers looking for har-
vest hands, but the "army" didn't
want to work for a dollar day. and
after levying tribute on the citizens
the train once more started for
Washington.
1t didn't get there, though. By
the time Arlington was reached a
train containing 900 regulars from
Walla Walla was occupying the main
line just east of town, while another
train carrying United States Marshal
Harry Grady had hurried up behind
the freight, thus boxing up the
COxeys.
When the station was reached. tor.
pedoes brought the train to a stand.

They soon came to realize how.

The army was taken to Portland
between the two trains, and ther,
disbanded.
