Interstate Commerce Law.

In the annual report of the inter-
state commerce commission of the
year 1908, attention is called to the
fact that, between July /, 1908, and
the close of that year, sixteen suits
have been begun to set aside orders
of the commission, one commenced
before that date, and that few orders
of much consequence had been per-
mitted to go without protest; that the
questions presented by these various
suits were fundamental, as the con-
stitutionality of the act itself was in
issue and the right of congress to
delegate to any tribunal authority to
establish an interstate rate was de-
Eied, but that perhaps the most SER
ious practical question raised con-
cerned the extent of the right of the
courts to review the orders of the
commission; ana it was also pointed
out that if the contention of the car
riers in this latter respect alone was
sustained but little progress had been
made in the Hepburn act toward the
effective regulation of interstate
transportation charges. In twelve of
the cases referred to, it was stated,
preliminary injunctions were prayed
for, being granted in six and refused
in six.
1t has from the first been well
understood, says the commission,
that the success of the present act
as regulation measure depended
largely upon the facility with which
temporary injunctions could be OBJ
tanned. If a railroad company, by
mere allegation in its bill of COM
plant, supported by ex parte affi-
javits, can overturn the result of
days of patient investigation, no very
satisfactory result can be expected.
The railroads lose by these proceed
ings, since, If they fail, 1t can only

SPEND MILLION ON
POWER PLANT
PRESIDENT EARLES OF HAN.
FORD IRRIGATION co. AN
NOUNCES INTENTION TO M
PROVE PRIEST RAPID PROJECT

Seattle, Jan. THE Hanford r.
rigation company within the next IS
months will spend $1,000,000 in de-
veloping its hydro-electric power
plant at Priest Rapids, on the Column
bia river, and so extend and amplify
its distributing system of canals and
laterals as to reclaim 100000 acres
of arid lands situated in Benton coun-
ty, in eastern Washington. President
Michael Earles, of the Hartford COM
pany, today announced that work
would be begun within week on the
new concrete dam al Priest Rapids
and in installing the new power ma
chinery.
"The work on the new dam will be
pushed as rapidly as possible during
the low water in the Columbia river
this winter" said Mr. Earles. I'VE
are now assembling a working outfit
at Priest Rapids. consisting of steam
shovels, steam drills for work in the
solid rock and locomotives ana cars
to handle the material.
When the present plans are work
ed out and the new construction fin
ished, the electric power plant at
Priest Rapids, where we have been
generating 1.500 electric horsepower
will have a capacity of $4,000 horse
power"
Greatest i'm Size i'm State.
1t is admitted that no electric pow
er plant in the west that is a part
of an irrigation project is compar-
able in size to what the Hanford
plant will be when the extensions now
planned are completed. Major III. M.
Chittenden, u. S. A, when he was
in charge of the local United States
army engineers Office, made a survey
of the Priest Rapids project and drew
up a report. which was published at
the time, showing that the Columbia
river at Priest Rapids would ulti-
mately furnish 100000 electric
horsepower More than a year ago
the present plant was completed and
water turned onto the lands owned
by the Hanford company.
The amount of rich but now arid
lands to be reclaimed by the Hanford
company will place that project
ahead of any private or government
work now under way in this state.

| iects in this state which is approach

Washington. Jan. President
Taft's special message dealing with
amendments 10 the interstate COM
merce laws looking 20 more effective
federal supervision of railroads and
conveying his recommendations for
the passage of federal Incorporation
act was transmitted to congress to-
day and was read in the house, the
senate not being in session. The
message follows closely the forecasts
made from time to time and in sug-
gested legislation as to railroads en-
bodies all of the suggestions the
president has made in his speeches.
President Taft suggests no change
in the Sherman antitrust law at this
time. The interest feature of his
message deals solely with the sub
ject of federal characters.
The president thinks that oppor-
tunity should be given industrial
combinations to bring their business
once more into ''son-in-law fullness"
by taking on federal character I'M
der certain prescribed conditions be-
fore it become necessary to proceed
against every corporation about
which there is breath of suspicion.
Wholesale investigation and possibly
prosecution, the president points out,
would result in serious disturbances
and produce a halt in our present
prosperity that will cause suffering
the innocent many for the faults of
the guilty few"
That portion of the message deal
ing with changes of interstate COM
merce laws the president recommends
the establishment of United States
court of commerce of five judges to
hear and determine appeals from the
interstate commerce commission, the
only appeal from this court lying in
the United States supreme court. "
The commission is to be relieved of
prosecuting cases in the courts, this
duty being placed with the depart
ment of Justice In brief the mes
sage is as follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: / withheld from my
annual message a discussion of need
ed legislation under the authority
which congress has to regulate com
merce between the states and with
foreign countries and said that
would bring this subject matter to
your attention later in the session.
Accordingly, | beg to submit to you
certain recommendation as to the
amendments to the interstate COM
merce law and certain considerations
arising out of the operations of the
antitrust law, suggesting the wisdom
OF federal incorporation of industrial
companies.

POVERTY HOLLOW FIGHT
Love of Young Ed Moran Strikes
Stony Place.

Quinton Heights and Poverty Hol-
low clashed in death combat last night
with bricllbats and one lone bullet for
missiles when Ed Moran and father,
Chas. Moran. carried the battle for
Quinton Heights over into the vicinity
of young, Moran'S sweetheart, Ada
Pixley, and were routed by the Her
cules family, assisted by one Clyde
Jordan.
The story as related in the cool of
the morning today is that Ed Moran,
feeling drawn toward the home of his
lady in Poverty square for some six
months, summoned courage enough to
make the trip last week when he was
set upon by a great gang of giants
who, naturally, overcame him and
showed him the way to go home. Last
night. wishing to make another at
tempt, yet undesirous of rousing out
the militia for so seemingly trivial a
thing as love, Ed persuaded his father
to go with him.
They drove out in a buggy and were
seen coming. When they had reached
dark and lonely district, a fusillade
of bricks and bits of stone struck the
rig and the boy was yanked from the
seat. The gang seemed not to know
! the father and passed him by to sit
on the son, where they were leisurely
punching his face, according to the
father. He alighted and jerked some
of them away and got the boy back
into the rig and completed the jour
ney. The homeward drive was much
| more beset with perils, for out of a
dark street in the shadow of tall black
trees sprang the sons of Hercules in
all their might and with no choice of
victim. But in that fight the record
seems to show that the father and son
escaped serious wound from brick or
board, fought bravely through and
strung a row of the younger Hercules
on the field, when their father charged
from his doorway to fire a pistol shot
at the disappearing foe.
The love sick youth so unfortunate
as to have to go alone to Poverty Hol-
| low to see his lady love had better
take the love cure at home or call out
the militia. This is the second affair
of the kind and is being put in shape
| to stop the nuisance. Militia is not be-
ing called out to quench the defensive
ardor of the Poverty Hollow gang but
| the marshals of the court of Topeka
have been sent out to make five ar
! rests.
Warrants charging disturbance of
peace were sworn out this morning by
Chas. Moran. father of the young
swain, for the Hercules family. to-
wit: John Hercules. William Hercules.
Mix Hercules and ]. a Hercules. and
| for Clyde Jordan. They will all be
| brought in during the day and their
! hearing set if they can furnish bond,
or if not, they will be placed in Jail.

stair case is the wonder of the world

a gentleman had shown me over the

ments of destruction.
