A Coming Event.

What is purported to be Hood
Rivers musical treat of the year will
be given in Heilbronner Hall on May
lst. Owing to the failure of the Dun
bar Company to appear and no other
company being sent to replace them,
it was felt that a good concert was
needed this season. The Baraca boys
have taken it upon themselves to nave
the Cartwright Company of Chicago
stop here for an open date while
enroute to Spokane. While this is the
first tour for this company of the
Pacific states, it will suffice to state
that they travel under their own special
managers and not for lyceums and COM
mand top-notch prices. The stop here
is made to fill in an open date and for
advertising purposes (they have heard
Of Hood River) and the prices will be
as usual.

"POISON OAK" TINE IS HERE.
A Simple Reward Has Been Found, How
ever, Which Stops the Itch.

Poison oak can now be cured quite
easily.
A simple liquid wash, composed
mostly of oil of wintergreen, combined
with other healing ingredients, has
been used with a good deal of success.
This remedy, D. D. d. Prescription,
became known first because of the
cures it accomplished in eczema and
other diseases of the same general
nature.
When used for Poison Oak" it dries
up the watery postules, drives away
the red, flaming spots, and returns the
skin to its normal condition.
The itch stops instantly.
We vouch for the great eczema rem
edy, d. D. D. Prescription, and would
certainly not recommend it for poison
oak" if we did not know what it would
do. A trial bottle only 25c.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Appalachian Forest Reserve Bill Lacks
Only Taft's Signature.

Washington, Feb. 16.-After many
years of delay, the bill for the creation
of national forest reserves in the White
mountains and the Southern Appala-
chians passed the senate late yester-
day, the vote standing 81 to Q.
The negative vote was cast by Sena-
tors Bristow, Burton, Clark (Wyo.),
Cullom, Gronna and McCumber, Re-
publicans, and Senators Davis. Payn-
ter and Shively, Democrats.
The bill passed the house of repre-
sentatives last session and as it was
accepted by the senate without change.
it lacks only the signature of the presi-
dent to elevate it into statute.
While it is understood the purpose of
the bill is the acquisition of lands in
the Write mountains of New England
and of the Appalachians in the south
ern states, for the creation of forest
reserves. it contains no specific men
ton of such purpose. The authority
for this proce eding is found in the
general powers conferred by the bill.

SWAP SHARP WORDS.
Lively Row in Committee ON Terri
tories Over Alaska.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Representa-
tive Lloyd of Missouri and Repre-
sentative Southwick of New York ex-
changed sharp words and Delegate
Wickersham from Alaska and John N.
Steele, attorney for the Guggenheim-
Morgan Alaska interests questioned
each others veracity, when the house
committee on territories reopened the
hearing on the bill to exempt the
Copper River & Northwestern railway
from the payment of the Alaska rail-
road license tax. The control of the
railroad by Guggenheim and Morgan
interests had been admitted by Mr..
Steele. He insisted, however, that the
road was designed to be a common
carrier and not simply an outlet for
the Guggenheim- Morgan bonanza
mines.
ST think this committee ought to
vote to postpone the bill.'' said Repre-
sentative Lloyd. 'It is difficult to
show the house that the Morgan or
Guggenheim interests need any re-
lief''
"It is a disgrace for any member
of congress to urge such an argu-
ment," interjected Representative
Southwick
"The gentleman from New York
has never shown any interest in the
session of the committee except on
the statehood measures and this bill,
retorted Representative Lloyd.
The committee asked Delegate
Wickersham if he wanted TO cross
examine Mr.. Steele and the other law
yers who have appeared in support OF
the railroads.

Military Movement
Which She Is About to Direct
Against China.
STRAINED RELATIONS.
Persistent Violation. of Treaty
Of 1881 Is Alleged.
Extent of the Demonstration
Cannot Be FOretOld.

London, Feb. 16.-The relations of
Russia and China are strained to the
breaking point. Russia today notified
the governments of Great Britain,
France and Germany of her intention
to make military demonstration
along the Russo-Chinese frontier
owing TO China's persistent violation
or the st. Petersburg treaty Of 1881.
Russlan troops will be sent forth
with to the district of Iii.
The extent of the demonstration.
II is added in the diplomatic note,
Will depend entirely on the attitude
assumed by China.
The vital questions involved arc
1ree trade in Mongolia the extra ter
rltorfal rights of Russians in China
and the establishment of a Russian
consulate at Keobdo, Mongolia.
There have been rumors recently of
an intention by Russia to bring pres
sure TO bear on China because of al
legged violations of the Russo Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute.
however, has been denied both by the
Cnlnese foreign board and the Rus
sian legation at Peking
1t has been admitted that there
were d1Herences in the interpretations
OF the International agreement as
made nj, at ST. Petersburg and at Peking.
The treaty adopted in 1881 expires
this month and it has been reported
that China was unwilling to renew it,
at least not until certain moderations
mad been made. The exchanges have
already been closely guarded by both
powers, and what stage the negotia-
tions have reached was not indicated
until the st. Petersburg Gazette an
nounced that an important confer
ence had been held at the war minis
try to consider ''China's persistent
f1outing of treaty stipulations."
The province of Iii, to which Rus
sian troops will be sent, lies in the
northern part of the Chinese empire.
BY provision of the Russo Chinese
treaty of 1881, the western portion of
Hi is incorporated with Russia in or
der to serve as a place of establish
ment for the inhabitants of Russia
who having adopted Russian depend
encies had to abandon the lands which
they possessed there.
The frontier between the possess
sions of Russia and the Chinese Prov
ince of Hi is defined in the treaty.

HOGS ARE SMALLER.
Average Market Weight Has Declined
in Recent Years.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Statistfcs to
the department of agriculture indicate
that hogs are getting thinner every
year and that the razor back yet may
be the porcine mode.
The figures show that hogs market
ed between 80 and 40 years ago aver
aged one-fourth heavier than those
marketed in recent years. In the de-
cade 1S7O-79, the average weight of
hogs killed during the winter months
in western packing centers was about
PTS pounds: in the decade 1880-S9
about 257 pounds in the decade 1890
80 about 239 pounds and in the past
decade 19O0-O9 about 219 pounds.
No theories are advanced by the de-
partment of agriculture as to the
cause of this decrease in the weight
of porkers.
