WASHINGTON WILL Be
GREAT DA|RY|NG STATE

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 2.-"Washing-
ton has bright future and gives
every promise of becoming an i'm
portant dairy and butter State" said
B. H. Rawl, chief of the dairy divis-
ion of the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, whine in Spokane today
on the way to San Francisco. He
added:
1.-The rich western grasses, the fine
alfalfa grown in the southern part of
the State and other excellent forage
crops, and the equable climate and
mid winters all contribute great nat
ural advantages for the production of
dairy animals.
'The principal need of the dairy
men in Washington and, in fact,
throughout the western country, is
more education and higher grade
cows. They are already lettering the
class of their stock and the State
agricultural colleges are instructing
the dairymen and the butter-makers in
getting the best results.
"Dairymen are taught how to feed
and take care of their COWS and the
butter-makers are instructed in the
sanitary handling of the milk and
methods to be used in getting the best
butter from the milk furnished to
them by dairymen and milk farmers.
II believe there will soon be great
growth in the butter industry in the
State of Washington, because the op-
portunities are practically unlimited
and the people are taking hold OF the
business in the right way. They
realize the Importance of having high
grade stock, also the value of educa-
ton afforded by the agricultural and
dairy schools, and with this in view
they will succeed.
Il am more than surprised at what
/ have seen of the growth of the State
during the last ten years, and am
told that the development has been
rapid and the progress substantial in
all parts of the commonwealth. This
is gratifying"

MORE SUGAR FRAUDS
TO BE LOOKED INTO

Washington, Dec. 31.-"When the
grand jury, now investigating the
sampling of sugar at New Orleans,
finishes its work, it will be found that
the frauds against the government
there have been going on for at least
fifteen years."
This statement was made by an
official of the customs service, who
said that all the suspected frauds
would be found in the sampling of
sugar and in the palariscopic test
which determines the saccharine con-
tents upon which the importer pays
duty.
An investigation of alleged "draw-
back" frauds at San Francisco is also
imminent. A preliminary investiga-
ton has furnished evidence which
leads treasury officials to believe the
frauds there will eclipse those at New
York, which the American Sugar Re-
filming Company recently offered to set
tie for 100000.
Evidence collected by the customs
service is said to show that the gov
eminent has for years been paying
drawbacks" on Philippine sugar
which came into the United States
duty free, was used in the preserva'
ton Of California fruit and later re-
ported as sugar imported from Java
on which duty had been paid.

EVERETT BUSINESS MEN
OUT FOR STATE CAPITAL

Everett, Dec. 31.-Any division of
sentiment that existed regarding the
launching of campaign to secure the
removal of the state capital to Everett
has been dissipated by a resolution
passed by the Everett Business Mems
Association, which declares in definite
terms that the City of Smokestacks
wants the prize If it can be obtained.
The resolution passed by the asso-
citation reads:
Whereas, the conditions are such
that the> removal to Everett of the
capital Of the state of Washington
seems feasible and possible, and be-
lieving that such removal would be for
the best interests OF Everett and vi
cinity;
BE it resolved by the Everett Bust
ness Mems Association that it's undi-
vided support be accorded the propo-
sition and pledged to the Snohomish
county delegation in the coming ses-
sion of the legislature in all just and
right endeavOr, having for it's object
the presentation of this matter to the
decision of the people of the state.
Resolved, that a committee be ap-
pointed to confer with the mayor, city
officials. civic bodies and others with
the object of ascertaining the POSSIBLE
ity of getting capitol site donated"
Senator j. A. Falconer and Repre-.
sentative-elect H. w. Holmes spoke
concerning the project, pointing out
that four years ago action was under.
taken to remove the capital to Ia
coma, but Gov. A. E. Mead vetoed the
act. 1t was stated that as the bulk of
the states population is on the west
side of the mountains the east side
cannot expect the removal of the CAPT.
tai to any of the cities in that part Of
the state.
The proposed plan of action is to
gain the cooperation of all legislators
who may be favorably impressed with
the plan to give Everett the capital.

FOR INTERNATIONAL
RAILWAY BOARD
AGREEMENT REACHED AS TO
LEGISLATION TO BE
RECOMMENDED.
Commission Desired Which Will Have
Supervising Authority Over Rates
Between Points in Canada and the
United States-DetaiIs Not Given
Out.

Washington, Dec. 31.-As a result
of conferences between Judge Martin
A. Knapp, chairman Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and hon. J..
P. Mabie, chief of the Railway Com
mission of Canada, an agreement has
been reached to recommend to the re-
spective governments the creation of
an international railroad commission
which shall have supervisory author
ity over rates between the two coun-
tries.
Mr.. Mabie reached Washington
from Ottawa, in accordance with a
previous arrangement with Chairman
Knapp.
He came to discuss the details OF
an agreement they had reached last
August, and today the two officials
were in conference. Their report has
not been completed, but soon will be,
and will be filed with the State De-
partment and with the foreign officers
of Canada.
Details Not Given Out
No details are available beyond the
fact that it recommends the establish
ment of an international commission
upon which shall be conferred certain
regulatory powers. Whether the COM
mission is to be created by treaty
or by joint legislation cannot now be
answered.
For some time it has been realized
that the increasing railway traffic be-
tween the United States and Canada
was likely to render future control
over rates difficult, unless some in
ternational action were taken. The
acquisition by American railroads of
Canadian terminals, and by Canadian
railroads of American terminals and
lines presents increasing difficulties.
Cannot Compel Joint Rates.
Under existing circumstances it is
not possible to compel either railways
or express companies to establish
joint through routes and rates to and
from points in the two countries. In
other words, neither an American nor
la Canadian carrier may be required
to furnish shipper through bill Of
lading from any point in one country
to any point in the other.
The reasonableness of the interna-
tional rates, which ordinarily are a
combination of the local rates to each
country, can be determined only by a
circuitous proceeding instituted be-
fore the commissions of both coun-
tries. No power at present exists that
can require carriers engaged in inter-
national transportation to establish
reasonable through joint rates and to
apportion them among the participat-
ing carriers in the event they cannot
reach an agreement among them
selves.
Out of this situation grew the idea
of the creation of an international
commission which should have super
visorg control over the railways and
other common carriers doing an inter-
national transportation business

THE FRESH AIR SCHOOLS
American Cities Are Adopting Plan
for tuberculosis Children Which
Has Worked We'll in Germany.

Fresh air schools, started and still
conducted to care for tuberculcus
children, promise to have an impor-
tant influence upon the entire pub
lic school system. They are still
new in America, having been in use
in Providence two years, in Boston
something more than a year and for
shorter periods in Chicago, Pitts
burg, Rochester and Hartford. They
have been fully tried out in Ger
many, where they have been varied
into open air summer schools and
forest schools. In no place where
they have been tried have they been
abandoned. In most places they are
being extended. Thus far the
schools have included only the ply
sically weak and the mentally back
ward. With plenty of fresh air and
sanitary surroundings, these weak
and defective children have been
able to accomplish more than nor
NAL children in the ordinary schools.
In some cases progress has been ex-
ceptiona1ly rapid. While the minds
develop as they never developed be-
fore, the bodies grow strong and
children are givensa chance in life---

LAPLANT WON'T FACE
FEDERAL COURT TRIAL
JUDGE WILLARD SUSTAINS MOTION OF
DEFENSE THAT STATE HAS JURlS.
DICTION IN CASE.

+ An indictment was returned yes
terday morning against Ovilla La
Plant charging him with the MUIR
der of George Martin at the gov
ernment townsite of Dupree. which
was originally part of the Chey-
enne River Indian Reservation.
A demurrer was filed to this in
dictment by the defendants attor-
neys, Fuller & Morrison, for the
purpose of testing whether or not
the federal court has jurisdiction
to try and determine offenses COM
mitted on that portion of the Chey-
enne River and Standing Rock In
dian Reservations in South Dako-
ia which was opened for settlement
in 1908.
The demurrer was argued at the
afternoon session of the court, and
Judge Willard decided that when
the president issued the proclama-
ton opening that portion of the
reservation for settlement under
the homestead and townsite laws,
as authorized by the act of con-
gress passed in 1908, that portion
of the reservation included within
said act and opened for settlement
thereby ceased to be within the
limit of the Indian Reservations
and that the jurisdiction is in the
state court to punish offenses COM
mitted in that territory, and the
demurrer to the indictment was
sustained on that ground.
1t was announced by the United
States attorney that the govern
n1ent would likely have the ques-
ton reviewed by the United States
supreme court. and Judge Willard
admitted the defendant to bail in
the sum of $40, 900, which was Civ
en- and LaPlant was released pend
ing the appeal to the supreme court.

OPEN AIR LIBRARY FOR HoeoEs.

William Wheeler Fippen, justice
of the peace Of Penryn, CAL, has es-
tablished a library for hoboes in a
grove of trees near his place. 1t is
believed that his hobo library is the
only one of its kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied.
In addition to having shelves sds-
pended from the limbs of the trees
and cases standing against the large
trunks Of the oaks and pines, Ftp
pen has placed a long table in the
grove, supplied with two benches
and several armchairs for the read
ers. Fippen has few hoboes to deal
with in his court, because they all
know him and respect him.
