AT NEXT CONGRESS.
Department of Agriculture Behind
the Movement, and Is Work.
ing Up Sentiment.

Observation-Disclosures of the
agricultural department insist that
no subject is closer to the heart of
the farmer than that of good roads.
In the opinion of the department
scarcely any one thing is more con-
ducive to the prosperity of the farm
er, nor adds to the value of land,
as do first-class roads. The best evil
dence that the farmer has taken this
subject up is shown by the number
of good roads bills introduced in the
house during the extra session of
congress recently adjourned.
More than a dozen bills were in
troduced, each having for its purpose
the betterment of the highways of
the country. Representative Scott
OF Kansas, who is chairman of the
agricultural committee, is a strong
believer in good roads, and says that
his committee will next winter take
up the subject and give it careful
consideration. 1t is not improbable
that the committee will hold hear
ings to obtain facts and data that
cannot but have good effect on the
house.
Working Up Sentiment.
The agricultural department, which
is the one executive department rep
resenting the interests of the farmer,
has for several years been working
up public sentiment in favor of
charging and extending the high
ways between states. The depart
ment has been ably assisted in this
by the numerous automobile clubs of
the country.
During the recetu extra session
of congress thousands upon thou
sands of petitions from every section
of the country were received by mem
bers urging legislation in favor of
good roads. Many of the petitions
pointed out that in certain states,
where first-class roadbeds Prevailed,
business was good and the popula-
ton in the country districts pros
porous and thriving.
$1OO,OOO,OOO For Good Roads.
The advocates of good roads in
and out of congress say that it would
be economy for Uncle Sam to spend
500, 100000 or more with the states
in the improvement of national hign-
ways, in that it would develop the
business of the country and add to
the prosperity of the nation.

STEEL FIRE-PROOF CARS
On Through Passenger Trains Via The
North Western Line.

Orders have been ordered by the
Chicago & North Western Railway
Company for 125 steel, fre-proof
coaches, reclining chair cars, parlor
cars, dining cars and baggage cars,
and this equipment is now under
construction for early delivery.
All of these cars are fully equipped
with non-collapsible, heavily REIN
f creed steel frames, with the most
modern safety vestibules, Westing-
house high speed air-brake equip
ment, and the latest improved draft
gear.
The floors are laid with a sanitary
composition that adds strength to
the car and deadens the noise of the
train. Even the frames of the seats
are built of steel, and no combust-
ible material enters into any part of
the construction.
The new dining car will have fea
lures which are of direct interest to
the public. Each car is arranged to
seat Sc people, which is six more
than the usual standard, and special
improvements have been effected in
the arrangement of the kitchen and
pantry which will insure a greater
capacity and more prompt service
and at the same time remove all
odors from the kitchen.
The day coaches and reclining
chair cars are to be five feet longer
than the largest cars heretofore
used and will, in consequence, haye
greater seating capacity. The par.
lor cars will be of the most ample
dimensions, and the interior fittings
and finish will be of the usual lux
urious North Western standard.

Cambridge Independent Press:
We should like to let the tariff
rest, but nothing is settled until it is
settled right in this world, in view
of all that is said and done by the
great newspapers Of this state, there
should be no one in Minnesota ignor-
ant of the present tariff situation.
We, as republicans, in the election
of last year, elected representatives
and senators as we'll as president
with the express understanding that
there should be substantial reduc-
ton in the tariff. There can be no
one blind enough to believe that this
party pledge has been carried out.
With the exception of a few sena-
tors and representatives from the
central western states, Cannon and

may parole the defendant and per-
NIT him to go at large on such
conditions and under such restric-
lions as he shall see fit to impose. ;
At any time thereafter, in term
time or in the vacation of court,
the sjudge may revoke the parole
without any notice whatever, and
order the sheriff to take the defend
and execute the punishment against
him.
''In this circuit, the punishment
usually assessed is large fine. On
a plea of guilty, the court fixes the
punishment. and usually makes it as
severe as the law permits $1,000
and twelve months in the county
Jail.
Exercising the discretion reposed
in it, the court then paroles the de-
PENDANT on condition that he pay
all costs, a specified portion of the
fine USUALLY regulated by the ability
of the defendant to pay, and that
he surrender his government Ii
cense' and never again engage in a
business involving the sale of intox-
icating liquors, either as proprietor
or as clerk or agent.
IF, while the defendant is under
parole, the judge has good reason to
believe that he has violated its con-
ditions, he (the judge Immediately
revokes it. The consequences are
so severe that the Judge is very
seldom called upon to act.
The result of this policy is that
in the five counties of this district
there are no dives and but very
few drug stores that have govern
ment license, and they are reput-
able places against which complaint
is never made"

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-06-19

New York, June 19.-That Elsie
Siegel, aged 20, and grand daughter
OF the late General Franz Siegel the
famous warrior, whose body was found
late yesterday jammed into trunk
in Chinese lodging house, is the VIC
tim of the Chinese, for the love of
whom she sacrificed her caste, home
and friends, is the opinion of the po-
lice.
The belief is founded on hundreds
of letters found in the room of Leon
Ling, where the body was secreted.
The police think the Chinaman COM
mitted the crime to free himself from
the girl.
One Of the letters was written by the
girl under date of June 9Th and read:
You seem to be growing cold toward
me. Just think of the sacrifice I made
for you-family, friends. everything.
for Gods sake don't forsake me now."
Apparently the body has been in
the trunk over week. Deep marks
on the throat indicate that she was
strangled TO death. Ling is missing.
1t is thought that the girl met the
Chinaman, who speaks English flu
entity, while engaged in slum work.
