Ariz., on May Z. When the bank

will extend to Lakeview.
Lytle says the inhabitants of that
part of the state seem to be very
prosperous. He went down in re-
sponse to information that many
sheep had been infected with scab-
bies, and while he found some dis
eased sheep, there was not nearly the
number he had been lead to expect.
He will order special inspection,
however, to ascertain just how many
diseased sheep there are and to make
possible the stamping out of the dis
ease.
The state sheep inspector thinks
that part of oregon is fitted by ma
ture to be sheepman's paradise, the
warm climate making winter feeding
unnecessary. About the only expense
the growers of wool are put to is the
paying of fees for summer range and
the employing of herders, the latter
being secured mostly from Ireland
and are paid very low wages.

Olympia, April Yesterday after
noon in a driving rain storm, all that
was mortal of the late s. G. Cosgrove.
governor of Washington, was laid to
rest at Masonic cemetery, near this
city, following funeral exercises which
were attended by hundreds of promi-
nent citizens representative of all parts
of the Northwest.
From early morning, when the re-
mains were taken to the capitol to lie
in state, until the last volley over the
grave at the cemetery, the throngs of
sorrowing friends overtaxed the accom-
modations that had been provided. Not
one-quarter of those who assembled
could gain entrance to the house cham
Der, where the services took place, and
it required nearly all the express wa
CONS in the city to transport the floral
tributes to the cemetery.
The funeral sermon, an eloquent ad-
dress, was delivered by Rev. C. E.
Todd, of the First M. E. church, of
Olympia.
Brief services were held at the
grave, with military honors, taps and

HARTMAN GIVES VIEWS.
Favors Government Supervision and
Protection of Railroads.


Chicago, April EDWARD H. Har-
riman arrived here tonight. While his
car was waiting to be hitched to
train for New York, he discussed the
tariff, saying:
eff the government had revised the
tariff or given the country good cur
rency law. or both, we would not have
had the Lands decision, and we would
not have had all this wasteful prosecu-
tion of corporations, nor all of this
hostile legislation against railroads
and the country would be going along
swimmingly.
81 have been quoted as criticising
the government and our ex-president
for having prosecuted me and the in
terests which 1 represent. l have
never spoken bitterly regarding either
and | have no criticism to make. The
prosecutions were all right, for there
is nothing about the railroads which |
represent that desire to conceal.
81 have been in favor of government
supervision and regulation, but not
just because it has come. l am on
record in Washington as being in favor
of this, and l told Mr.. Roosevelt so
early in his campaign. But, mind
you, | told him was in favor of regu-
lation if combined with protection; but

out protection, and that is bad for the
railroads and bad for the people, for
after all it is the people who have to
pay for the mistakes of the govern
ment."

ment Covering Northwest.
May Mean Truce Among All Systems
of Northwest = Hill May Make
Concessions to Harriman-End of
Fight for Territory in Sight-Sav-
ing in Construction.

Chicago, April 3.-There will be no
contest between the st. Paul road and
the Hartman lines over territory to
be occupied by either interest in the
Pacific Northwest. This was decided
during the brief visit of Edward H..
Hartman in Chicago Wednesday.
While in his private car, which stood
in the Park Row station of the Illinois
Central road, Mr.. Hartman was visit
ed by President A. ]. Earring, of the
st. Paul road, and arrangements were
completed for the joint use of certain
tracks by the st. Paul and the Harri-
man lines.
Although none of the officials inte-
rested in the deal would say anything
concerning it, it is understood that the
tentative agreement will obviate the
necessity of Mr.. Harriman's building a
line between Seattle and Tacoma, as
he contemplated doing as part of his
line from Portland to Seattle. The
two men had only few moments con-
yersation, but it was sufficient to
clinch an agreement regarding which
they had talked several times before.
In this connection also it is stated
that the conference between Mr.. Harri-
man and Louis W. Hill in San Fran
cisco is likely to result in better I'M
derstanding between the Hill and Har-
riman lines in the Pacific Northwest.
1t is stated that all three interests
realize the benefit which would come
should there be truce among them
with respect to territorial aggression
in the Northwest. AS the price of
peace, however, Mr.. Hartman is said
to insist upon the opening to his lines
OF the Portland gateway, and it is
thought by many that concessions will
be made in this direction by the Hill
people.
