sought to occupy the time in exploration

The vicinity Of Etah is notable as the
stamping ground of DR.. Kane aud Dr.

There were no unexplored spots in the

Of game near. Before we landed we
watched the Eskimos harpoon a white
whale. The little aux kept us busy for
a day, while hares. tumbling like snow
balls over dark rocks gave another day
of gun recreation.
Far beyond, along the inland ice, were

A diligcnt exploration Of the town dis
closed the fact that we had reached not
only the northernmost town but the most
prosperous settlement of the Greenland
shore. The best hunters had gathered
here for the winter bear hunt
Their game catch had been very lucky.
Immense catches Of meat were strewn
along the shore. More than a hundred
dogs voiced the hunt force, with which
Eskimo prosperity Is measured, and
twelve long haired wild men came out to
meet us as friends
The wealth in food and furs Of this

Olympia, May 14.-Among the Of
ficials and legislators here II is gen.
orally belieyed that the governor will
call a special session of the leglsla-
ture to inquire into the general sit
uation regarding the affairs of the
state offices.
The first gun for the special ses-
sion will be fired when the legisla-
tive investigation committee files its
report with the governor upon his re-
turn to Olympia tomorrow.
The refusal of State Commissioner
Schively to resign. coupled with the
announced determined to defy the
legislative committee, will be the
principal reason for the special ses-
sion.
Upon the heels of the disclosure
brought TO light by the committee,
representative w. NJ. Beach. Of Mason
county, is today preparing written
charges, which he will mail to the
committee against all officers, and de-
partments incurring a deficiency In
the last biennial period. He states
that he will make the charges on the
general ground that the creation of
a deficiency under the law is a Grim
inal offense.
1t is claimed that 80 state officers
are liable in civil and criminal action
If the attorney general enforces the
statute against them. Deficiencies
aggregating over hundred and fifty
thousand dollars are apparent

BEVERIDGE KNOCKS
THE TOBACCO TRUST

Washington, May 14.-Branding the
tobacco trust as the "most compact
effective, private monopoly existing"
Senator Beveridge OF Indiana, today
told the senate that the government
had lost $1S4,099,557 which could
have been collected in revenues dur
ing the last eight years, instead Of
having gone into the Golfers of the
octopus. He made the assertion when
he introduced an amendment to the
tariff bill providing for increased rates
of duty on tobacco. He declared that
his amendment would bring at least
$21,461,954 more revenue yearly than
the present revenue.
Beverfdge assured the cigar makers
that the amendment would not af-
feet them, as 1t is increasing the tax
only on cigars selling for ten cents,
or three for quarter, or over. The
amendment provides an increase of
the present rate on smoking, chewing
and fine cut from six to nine cents
pound. He said the trust controls
over so per cent OF this business. The
rate on snuff is increased to 12 cents
per pound. Cigarettes retailing for
five cents a package of ten will be
taxed dollar and q half a thousand,
and those retailing for ten cents will
be taxed three dollars.

Seattle, May 14.-One Of the most
daring crimes committed in this vi
cinity for years occurred this morn
ing when bandits landed at Brem-
erton in a launch, and forced their
way into the postoffice there and
blew open the safe and stole thou
sands of dollars worth of stamps and
several hundred dollars in money and
escaped.
1t is supposed that the robbery &C.
CURED between 3 ana 4 this morning.
The interior of the room where the
safe was located was wrecked. The
door of the safe was blown across the
room. The bandits left no clews.
K scene of confusion greeted
the clerks when they went to work.
II is estimated that between five and
six thousand dollars in stamps and
between two hundred fifty and three
hundred dollars in cash were stolen.
The BURGERS entered the postoffice
through the rear door. Mail sacks
We're strewn about the room. 1t is
apparent that they were piled against
the safe to deaden the report of the
explosion.

BEGIN FIGHT FOR
LOWER WOOL RATE
WOOL GROWERS BEFORE
RAILROAD COMMISSION
Interesting Facts Brought Out In the
Hearing-Cheapcr TO Ship From
Portland to Boston Than From
Eastern Oregon TO Portland i'm Small
Lots-Both Manufacturers and
Growers are Protesting to Commits
sion.

Umatilla county growers of wool
are greatly interested in the hear
ing on freight rates which was begun
yesterday before the state railroad
commission at Salem. State Senator
Tom Kay of the Salem Woolen mills
and two representatives of the state
wool growers association are max
ing the fight for the sheepmen and
the manufacturers of woolen goods.
1t is cheaper to ship wool and wool
products from Portland, Ore, to Bos-
ton, Mass, in carload lots than it is
to ship the same materials from east
ern Oregon points to Salem or Port
land in less than carload lots, which
Is the only rate quoted over the lines
of the o. r. & N. and Southern Pa
ers and the merchants who have to
pay the difference of rates in coast
upon the goods they purchase, both
the manufacturers and the growers
of wool protest to the railroad COM
mission
Those who are present at the hear
ing are General Agent w. T.. Conan,
Travelling Freight Agent Malboeuf
and Counsel Letter and Spencer for
the o. r. & n. and Southern Pacific,
and T. b, Kay, manager of the Salem
Woolen Mills and two representatives
of the Woolgrowers' association.
The carload rate on wool from
Portland to the east, based upon the
western classification, is first class,
or 81 per 100 pounds. while the rates
in Oregon upon the same class of pro-
ducts are one and one-half first class
rates, or $3.50 per 100 pounds. Two
years ago the Hartman lines, upon
the request of the manufacturers.
gave a straight 81 rate upon secured
wool in sacks from Pendleton to Sa-
lem and other valley points, but this
rate expired January /, 1909, and the
manufacturers want this rate restor-
ed They also request that a rate
schedule be put into effect within
Oregon on the carload basis, which
would have a tendency to increase
shipments Of eastern Oregon wool to
western Oregon mills, and also give
the manufacturers and merchants the
benefit of the saving in cost in freight
rates upon such classification.
Mr.. Kay stated that there is 2l,-
100000 pounds of wool raised in Ore
gon annually, 100000 of which Is
produced in eastern Oregon and the
balance in the Willamette valley. A
comparatively small percentage of
this is consumed in the valley, and
the bulk is shipped to eastern manu-
factories Most of this latter, being
heavy in grease, is secured before
shipment and is shipped in carload |
lots. The lighter grade of the east
ern oregon produce is shipped in the
grease. Valley manufacturers, in or
der to get their product into the east
ern markets, have to pay the local |
less-than-carload rates to Portland
and get the benefit OF the carload
rates to the east.

Thinks Commissioner Can't be Held.

Portland, May 1T do not think
j. II. Schively will ever be held under
the law on the charge of embezzling
the insurance funds of Washington"
said Judge James w. Robinson of the
Washington supreme court, in Port
land today. 81 have always held that
Schively either as deputy insurance
commissioner under Secretary of State
Nichols, or as insurance commission
er, by the new law is in the wrong, yet
am satisfied from a view of the case
from the legal standpoint that there
is no statute in the Washington code
by which he could be blamed. In the
first place the insurance laws OF
Washington are loosely constructed.
SchRely is accused of holding up the
insurance companies for amounts
from fifty to two hundred dollars As
a matter of fact there Is nothing in
Washington insurance law preventing
him from doing so, and there is al
ways the plea of unlookedfor expens-
es. Furthermore the office without
additional recompense would be of
little value" He said the Washington
scandals were the outgrowth of the
political situation as the result in the
publication of state politics.

AUGUST HEINZE is
AGAIN UNDER INDICTMENT

New York, May 14.-Aug. Heinze
was today re-indlcted by the federal
grand jury on charges of misappro-
priatlon of funds of the Mercantile
National bank with intent to defraud.
He pleaded not guilty and was re-
leased under his original bond of
$4,000. The indictment enumerates
a list of claims amounting to s2,-
100000, half of which it is claimed
will be a total loss.
The indictment is similar to the
one on which banker Charles Morse
was convicted. Former United States
Judge Wallace and John c. Tomlinson
represented Heinze. They reserved
the right to change his plea within IA
week.
