TIME IS ALMOST HERE.
Opening of the Eagles Monarch Faii
 Tomorrow Evening.

Everything that man can do has been done to pave the way for the grand opening of the Eagles mon arch fair tomorrow night. The committee of arrangements, from the chairman down, has labored night and day for the past few months to have everything in ship shape when the bell rings for the rise of the cur tain. The big parade which will pre- cede the regular festivities, will ere. ate the first interest in the eyes of the public, for 1t will be monster affair, if the members do what they say they will Every Eagle will be right on to his job for the next few weeks and in order that the fair may start we'll, the birds are all going to be in evidence tomorrow night. The nest inside will be a thing of beauty High priest M. F. Greaney, has consulted the stars and has dis covered a new method of making brilliant the interior of any building. It will be one mass of electricity and shooting stars will be in evidence. Booths there will be, all tastefully decorated, but no bunting will be in sight. Electric festoons will take the place of the old time decorations.
 As the time is drawing near, when the bird of fortune, will alight on the heads of twenty-one people and bestow financial blessings, 1t Is well to remind you that this bird can alight on the heads of those only. who possess the magic key. In other words, the souvenirs. Perhaps you have stocked yourself up well, but if you have not the last chance has ar rived. The Nilsson Aerial Ballet girls are here ready for their work. They will astonish all. who have never witnessed their act. It is wonderful thing and you will say so yourself, when you have feasted your eyes on it. The piano is still forging ahead, but the ladies are close on it's heels. It will be great race and fortunate indeed will be the lucky winner.

ALMOST GOT sa,ooo.
Played Dice on Oilcloth-Got Sons
 Advice In Time.

Hartford. Oct. l6-Lyman Cogs- well, an elderly man who lives with his son. Henry j.. Cogswell, at 70 Ann street, came near being the yic- tim of bunco game Wednesday af- ternoon. MT Cogswell was down town when a smart looking man came up to him and called him by name. The stranger asked him if he knew the Grays of Suffield. saying that he was member of that family. Mir Cogs- well knew the family well. but did not recognize the man who claimed Gray blcod.
 After considerable talk the stranger asked Mir Cogswell to visit house on High street where he said they could make little money. This was done and in room, which con- tained little but few chairs and a table, they found a man about GO years old. He invited them to play a game of under or over seven, which was done by means of large oilcloth containing numbered squares, and some dice.
 hO yUuub mdu dHu MT OOSSWei each put his fingers on square and the dice .rolled in their favor They were informed that they had won $2.O00, but that in order to get the cash they would have to show as much. MT Cogswell displayed his handbook, which was good for con siderably more and he was told by the men that if he went to the bank and drew the money the $2,000 would be his.
 [ He started down town in company with Cray" but when he reached Main street he thought he would like to consult his son, who is with H. F. Levy. the, jeweler. His son saw through the game at once and start ed to look for the clever stranger, but he had departed.
 The detective bureau was notified and Detective Sergeants Hart, Sam toro and Weltner were detailed on the case. The house on High street was visited and there it was learned that the men had taken the room that morning and said they would pay $1 day for 1t as long as they retained 1t. They had escaped when the detectives arrived and have not been found.

For Municipal Ownership.

Municipal ownership of the electric
light and water plants was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion at the meet
ing of the city council Tuesday night,
although many other important sub
jects were considered by the city
fathers in a lengthy session which
continued until midnight when ad-
journment was taken subject to the
call of the mayor, says the Kennewick
Reporter.
Three councllmen and two private
citizens, Jas. Crowell. ]. A. Rose, w.
A. Hawes, o. L. Hanson and George
F. Richardson were appointed as a
committee to secure estimates on the
cost Of the present light and water
plants the figures to be presented to
the council at its next meeting. This
action was taken In response to a pc
titlon of the citizens declaring that
municipal ownership of these public
utilities was a necessity and calling
upon the council to thoroughly inves-
tigate the possibilities with a view TO
submitting the proposition to the
voters.

To ADVANCE RATES
RAILROADS MAY
MAKE GENERAL INCREASE.
Eastern Railroad Presidents Will
Combine to Put Widespread Rate
Advances Into Effect-Determined
Resistance From Commercial
Bodies.

An organized attempt by eastern
sale advance Of freight rates has
aroused widespread alarm and pro-
test. says the Oregon Daily Journal.
While no open action has been taken
in the Pacific northwest in opposition
TO the movement. Oregon commercial
bodies and shippers have not been
inactive. and a determined resistance
to the raise is being organized.
The eastern railroad presidents re-
Gently came into the open and have
declared that they will carry the pro-
posed increase into effect, and that
the interstate commerce commission
will be powerless to prevent it. The
movement has reached stage where
an, outburst of popular indignation IS
spreading over the country. CONNER
cial interests are forming combina-
tions to exert the united influence OF
the country's business men against
the advance Of rates.
A telegram received in Portland
from Chicago advises local lumber
manufacturing interests that the lum-
Der shippers of the middle west and
northwest are up in arms, and that
united action will be taken. The rail-
road presidents have been asked to
withdraw the advanced rates until Oc-
tober. A large meeting Of shippers
representing the entire western coun-
try, will be held at Chicago May 15
It is admitted that the interstate
commerce commission and state rail-
way commissions have no powers that
can be used effectively under present
laws to prevent the railroads from
carrying the proposed increase into
effect. II was to prevent Just such
action by the railroad companies that
the Fulton amendment was offered in
the present congress.
This amendment to the. interstate
commerce law was originated by the
lumber manufacturers and their at
torneys. They proposed that no rail-
road should be allowed to increase an
established rate until after the In
crease had first been submitted to the

Pendleton, May Ito the Editor:
In the morning Tribune of the 10th,
| notice an editorial on the recall, In
which the writer depicts the evils
that would befall the community II
such a law were enacted. But he
Deglects to state the benefits the peo-
pie would derive under the system.
He says: "If the recall proposition
had been in vogue during the first
few years of our national history,
there would have been a vote taken
upon the proposition for the retire.
ment of every president, from Wash
ington to Madison, including the two
named, while Jackson would be in his
glory fighting a recall vote every
year during the entire eight years Of
his incumbency OF the presidency"
Perhaps had the recall been In vo-
que during the past ten years in Ore
gon the people might have been enab-
led TO protect some of their school
land, instead of having 1t squandered
as II was. 1 also venture the asser-
ton that the people of New York
would like chance to try the recall
on their senators If they could.
This editorial reminds me of the
report of a commission appointed by
the German government on the occa-
sion of the application of some Eli
glish capitalists, who applied to that
government fora charter to build the
first railroad in that country. The
German government appointed a
commission OF the wise men of the
nation to go to England, where there
was a railroad In operation, and study
the conditions and report whether 1t
was, in their wisdom, advisable to
grant such a charter.
After making the investigation,
they recommended that the charter
be denied, giving among other rea-
sons that trains passing over iron
rails. drawn by a machine propelled
by steam at a rapid rate Of speed,
and making a great noise, caused peo-
pie along the line of the railway to
stop their work to gaze at the rapidly
moving cars. and they found that 1t
caused dizziness, which was a very
prevalent cause OF insanity. Yet no
one knows the name of any of that
commission today, but the smallest
child of school age in the land can
tell you who invented the locomotive,
There were wise men. good men,
preachers, doctors, lawyers and large
merchant princes who protested
against the movement to resist taxa
ton without representation, more
than 100 years ago. Some of their
reasons were that It would disturb
business, and cause trouble, that they
could not resist the divine right OF
kings, but none can remember the
name of a single one of these worth
les today; while every patriotic citl-
zen REMINDERS that there was a Bos-
ton Tea party, and Washington, JEFF
ferson. Patrick Henry, and Benjamin
Franklin are household words and
will be as long as our beloved coun-
try exists
In 1860 there were wise men. good
men, and Napoleons Of finance, min
listers of the gospel, statesmen, and
others who. said it was wrong to in
terfere with human slavery that II
would disturb business, hurt condi-

tions, and put the country In an up
roar. None of these men are remem-
bered today, while the names Of Abb
raham Lincoln, Charles Sumner,
Wendall Phillips and Henry Ward
Beecher will be remembered In every
civilized land on the face of the globe,
by every human being who loves lib
erty.
The initiative and referendum,
Statement No. 1, and the recall will
be remembered In this beloved state
OF ours after the epltaph on the tomb
stone of the man who wrote the ar
tlcle In the Tribune has long since
been obliterated by the gentle rains
from Heaven.
The recall may not be perfect, but
that It will be put into effect In Ore
gon Is as certain as that the sun will
rise tomorrow morning.
Perhaps the gentleman is unaware
that the recall is one of the cherished
safeguards of the people of England,
Australia, New Zealand, and Switz-
anu I'll ohNShhPA W hNPAFO NhS
people of this right would cause a
bloody revolution.
But the writer can rest assured
that the officers who are elected by
the people in those counties who
have the recall are servants Of the
people and that they must constantly
be on the alert to do the peoples will
and to pass such laws as the people
desire in order to "hold their Jobs"
Again., If the gentleman will read
the proposed recall measure, he will
find that the officer can be recalled
but once during his term of office,
unless the petitioners shall pay all ex-
penses Of the previous election. But
the gentleman need have no such
fear for there will be no occasion for
the recall II the officer does his duty,
and II he does not he should be re-
called. OCCASIONAL.

WANT CHEAPER CARS.
Carsten's Packing Company Seeks Re-
lief From Railroad Charges.

lief From Railroad Charges.
A Salem dispatch says
The Carstens Packing company of
Tacoma has communicated with the
railroad commission to solicit the aid
Of the commission of this state in Sc
curing more favorable rates fr live
stock between California and Wash
ington.
Within the states Of oregon and
Washington the railroads will furnish
single-decked cars for livestock with
cut extra charge if double-decked cars
are not available when the order is
received. This advantage is also grant
ed between California and Oregon,
probably because of the oregon-Cali-
fornia system of the Southern Pacific,
for 1t is not a general rule in inter-
state commerce.
The rule does not exist as between
very much in favor OF Oregon pack
ers, because much livestock is brought
to both Washington and oregon from
California. An extra charge is i'm
posed If 1t is necessary to substitute
two single-deck cars for one double
deck car.
The Washington packers want the
Oregon railroad commission to assist
the Washington commission in bring
ing the matter before the interstate
commerce commission so that the rule
Of substituting single-decked cars for
double-deckers without extra charge
may prevail in all interstate carrying.

the railroads could not carry the
