March the company abolished thii
rate and put into effect a tariff which
adds to these shipments from Port
land the regular local rate. The ac-
tion Of the company met with opposi-
ton on the part Of the commercial
bodies affected by the ruling, and at
the Open River and Freight Conven-
ton, recently held at Albany, resolu-
tions were passed asking the COM
mission to take steps against the
road, and it is in pursuance of these
resolutions that the complaint is
made.
AS the rates are a matter which
comes under the jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
all that the State Railroad Commits
sion can do is to make a request upon
the company to return to the differ
ential rate, and, in the event of its
refusal it will then have to take the
matter up with the Interstate Com
merce Commission for its enforce
ment.

STIRS UP
The EAST
THE TRIBUNE LAYS THE BLAME
FOR DEFEAT ON THE VOTE ON
MORALS-THIS DOES NOT
MEAN THE TARIFF.

New York, April 2O.-The victory
of James S. Havens at Rochester
over the republicans was the subjec.
of editorial comment in all leading
newspapers here to-day.
The Times declared that the. re-
turns showed more than a revolt
against impure politics, adding:
THE people do not all agree with
the president when he says that the
Payne-Aldrich law is good tariff
They have been unable to agree with
his complacent view of the works Of
old leaders of the stalwart repubi-
can organization that is now falling
to pieces through the overthrow Of
Speaker Cannon and the announced
retirement of Senators Aldrich and
Hale"
The World says:
Rochester does not differ from
Boston or Kansas City in resenting
broken republican pledges"
The Tribune, the oldest repubr-
can paper in the city, attributes AL
dridge's defeat to a vote on moral
measures.

ence is abroad in the land"

Wanted in washington.

A hearing lis being held this after
noon before Governor Benson on the
application for the extradition of
Richard A. Wade, a Portland attor-
ney, who is wanted by the Washing
ton authorities on the charge Of
larceny.
According to the complaint in the
case Wade, together with a man by
the name of Charles e. George.
went to White Salmon on March IA,
and while there he became i'll or
rather feigned illness at a hotel.
George, it is alleged, called on
Frank Egan, real estate man who
knew Wade and advised him that
Wade was i'll and desired to see him.
At the same time he gave a letter
to Egan to hand to Wade and upon
accepting it, Wade opened it and
took from it a check on a New York
institution for the sum of 5000 and
prevailed upon Egan to have it en-
dorsed and cashed at bank. The
check turned out to be fraudulent
and Egan was compelled to pay it
and the action for larceny is now
preferred against Wade. A decision
had not been rendered by the COVER
nor in the matter at a late hour this
afternoon.

To Restrain Railroad Commission
Argument is being heard this az
ternoon by Judge Burnett In the
case of the Southern Pacific Railway
company against the Oregon Rail-
road Commission.
This suit was instituted by the
railroad company to restrain the
commission from enforcing an order
which has for its object the installa-
tlon of a switch from its line to the
town of Edenbower. The company
in its complaint contends that Eden
bower is connected with Roseburg
by a good highway and there is no
reason why It should not avail itself
of the transportation facilities af-
forded by the company at that town.
1t also further contends that the or
der is in violation of the Fourteenth
of the constitution OF
the United States in that it inter-
feres with the company's manage
ment of its own property.
The commission has commenced
a suit in the circuit court of Doug
las county for the purpose of penal
izing the company for its refusal to
comply with the order. The penalty
Under the law upon conviction is not
less than $50 nor more than $10,-
600.

has served notice on the Southern
Pacific Company that it has made an
investigation OF the class rates i'm
posed and charged by it and also it's
connections for the transportation of
less than carload lots of freight NOV
ing under classes 1, 2, 8 and from
eastern shipping points to points on
the company's line in the state of
Oregon, and that it has found them
excessive, unjust and unreasonable.
The rates referred to by the com
mission are those substituted by the
company in the place of the differen-
tial rate prevailing prior to March %,
1910. This differential rate consists
in the addition of 10 cents per hun

ANOTHER
Big STRIKE
IN ALASKA
NEW TOWN LAID OUT KNOWN AS
PORTLAND CITY AND 1000 LOTS
ALREADY STAIGED - GROUND
SAID no BE VERY RICH.

Stewart, B. c., April 20,--Portland
city. a new Alaska boom camp, has
sprung up at the mouth of the Sal
mon river, two miles from here, just
across the line into Alaska, and the
discoveries there are creating intense
excitement
Fully 1000 lots have been staked
already by squatters, and there prom
ises to be a lively war over claim
jumping.
Reports of rich surface showings
on Salmon river stared the town. The
first stalking was done by a delega-
tion from Ketchikan. The news
reached Stewart and 100 men stam-
peded to the townsite and staked out
their lots. Within a few hours the
length and breadth of Salmon river
flats was bristling with stakes.
A meeting was held in a few days
and the town was christened Port
land city, the squatters breaking
champagne over their stakes. There
was no attempt to make one bottle
do duty for more than single stake.
There is no official government sur
vey, but, in order to prevent confu-
sion, the settlers have organized a
vigilance committee, which will set
tie any claim jumping disputes.

Motor Boats and the Law.

Briefly summarized, the Federal
law as applied to motor boats re-
quires that they be provided with an
efficient whistle or siren, a bell, and
a fog horn; the same lights are re-
quired as on steam vessels, when
navigated between sunset and sun
rise, and they are required to obey
the rules of the road as set forth in
the pilot rules. If employed as prl-
vate pleasure boats only, there are
no other requirements of law apple
able to these boats.
In the past a good deal of misun'
Outstanding seems to have existed IN
regard to the providing of life pre-.
servers, the placing of names on
boats, the carrying of lanterns at all
times, etc. AS indicated, under the
present law it is not necessary to
carry life preservers unless passen'
gers are carried for hire; names need
not be displayed unless the boat IS
such as to require Recommendations;
and it is not necessary to carry lights
at any other time than while being
operated between sunset and sunrise.

A Hint b O Mons,

Do you know how extremely useful
the small f1ve-cent nlops are which
you get at the five and ten cent store!
The old-fashioned idea of using a
dishcloth to wash dishes isn't in 1t
with the modern one of using one CT
these small mops. In the first place
you Fan have your water scalding
hot-too hot to put your hands in
and the ease with which the hot,
soapy water will wash the dishes you
cannot imagine until you try it.
Then when they are placed in the
dish irainer they aim ost if not quite
dry themselves, and then, too, your
hands are kept out of the dish water,
which reddens and toughens them.
Then keep one for the bathroom.
See how easily you q wash out the
bathtub, bowl or seat with one, or
for slop-jars, etc.
Gel. one of the dry floor mops and
put a little kerosene on it from time
to time and it will keep your OIL
cloths bright and clean and not break
your back wiping with a cloth or reg-
ular mop.
For the woman who does her
house work and does not wish to look
as if she we're always scrubbing these
mops are invaluable.-Mrs. Kate L.

Cement For Leather Patches.

Take real pure unused india rub
Der as it is sent over from its native
place. 1t is sometimes called bottle
india rubber and al generally be
bought at high class artists shops
or stationers. None of the manu-
featured rubbers will answer. Cut
the rubber into the finest shavings
and cut the shavings into narrow
strips and cross again and again so
that hey may be easily acted upon
for solution. Then put it into a
clean bottle, filling the bottle no
more than one-tenth with the cut-up
rubber, and pour upon it till the bot
tie is about three-quarters full, ben
zine, which must have no trace of oil
in it's composition. Then agitate oc-
casionally and keep the bottle closely
corked until the rubber is dissolved.
1t ought, if the materials are good,
to be of a thick, sticky consistency.
Keep the bottle always closely
corked. Should it he seldom used
and get too thick, add a little ben
zine.--Mrs. J.. H. Bamford, in the

Future of Steam Locomotive.

The last decade has indeed wit.
messed a radical development in the
American locomotive. Some of the
most f~ar:reaching improvements in
design have occurred during the last
five years. Had any man seriously
p%rophesied five years ago that we
should have locomotives running Cd
our roads with sixteen wheels con
nected he would have been a target
for ridicule and, probably, his sanity
would have been a matter Of inyesti.
CATION. To-day it would be a bold
man who could venture a conjecture
as to where the increase is to stop.
That the Mallet type Of engine Is
to be the freight locomotive of tie fu.
ture seems reasonably certain. In
passenger service there are several
lines of development possible. That
some form of balanced engine will be
required for high speed seems prob
able. Whether the balanced engine
shall be a fo%ur-cylinder compound OF
a three or four cylinder simple en-
CINE using superheated steam, time
alone can show.
One thing is certain: In spite of the
predictions Of those who would have
US believe electricity to be the power
Of the future, the steam locomotive
must remain the principal factor in
long-distance land transportation fol-
many years to come. The introduce
ton of the large Mallet engine has
robbed the electrical advocates of one
Of their stock arguments, that we
have arrived at the limit of size and
capacity in the steam locomotive

Bad Handwriting.

Every nan who has his living tc
earn or any work in the world to dc
ought to be made to understand that
if he does not write legibly at least:
if not beautifully, it Is entirely his
W fault, and that if he is made to
suffer for it he has only himself to
blame. The pestilent theory that
bad writing is the sign of a great
mind ought to receive no c~ountenance
from men of common sense. 1t is
sometimes, no doubt, the result of eX.
IRENE pressure of business; but in
most cases it is the sign either OF
bad training or of a contemplate per-
versity in fashion or of a careless and
unstable disposition which will dis.
play itself sooner or later in things
much more important than hand
writing. In no case is it to be COM
mended; in only few cases is it to
be even excused.-London Times.

CEMENT TANKS FOR WINE.
French Dealers Use Immense Glass
Lined Watts For Storage.

>
Several years ago cement tanks be-
gan to take the place of wooden tanks
in a number of the larger wine stor-
age houses. One of the reasons for
this substitution appears to have been
the cheaper cost of material for &C.
ment tanks, as the price for timber
had been gradually rising, and even
at the higher prices was scarce and
difficult to secure.
Although constant improvement
waB being effected in the construction
and utilization of cement or concrete
tanks, the great objection to their
use still remained that in the storage
of wines the acids. in the liquid very
often decomposed the cement, while
the cement walls in turn absorbed
the freshness and bouquet Of the
wine. The wooden tanks were more
expensive, but their value was great
or, as they preserved the wine in a
proper condition.
The effort to place acidproof. lin
ings or coating on the walls Of cement
tanks seems to have proved of slight
value in the matter of ameliorating
the conditions of absorption. But the
idea Of coating the walls with squares
Of glass, tightly Joined with cement,
Is said to have solved the difficulty,
as, according to the Cement Age, a
tartar forms on the thin surface Of
cement and resists all acid attacks.
AS constructed in France, glass
lined cement tank! may be used for
all kinds of liquids except those con-
tanning a large percentage of acids,
the latter leading to the decomposi-
ton Of the cement joints and the
~loosening of tho glass plates. These
tanks are particularly useful as stor-
age r%eceptacles for wines, alcohols,
brandies, liqueurs, elders, oils, gaso-
lene, kerosene, turpentine, etc.
1t is said that tanks so constructed
are neither affected by humidity nor
by in%fltrations, that they resist fire
and inundation, and have a further
advantage in that they are not liable
to be struck by lightning as are tanks
of metallic material. Variations of
temperature effect a minimum loss by
evaporation, the degree being report.
ed at less than one per cent. AT
equivalent temperature wooden tanks
lose between six and seven per cent.
These tanks are made in all sizes,
ranging from SIS to 66,042 gallons
or more in capacity. The walls Of the
larger tank constructions are gener.
ally REINFORCED with iron armature.
An installation at Havre consists OF
eighty-three glass lined tanks, having
a capacity of 290,5S7 gallons.
Another plant is two stories and
comprises six watts or tanks with a ca.
,pacity of 26,417 gallons. Another in
s~tallation is three stories, the third
floor being used for the filtration OF
wine under natural pressure. The
plant at Chalons sur Marine has a ca.
pacity of 72,647 gallons. All of these
plants are used for the storage OF
wines.
