Meat Is High in France.

France is stirred by the appalling
advance in the price of meat and the
demand for legislation which will put
an end to it is growing insistent.
More than 100 deputies and senators
attended meeting called recently by
syndicates interested in the meat trade.
Resolutions were passed condemning
the new customs regulations, demand
ing a return to the law of 1892, and
urging the encouragement of importa-
ton from the colonies free of duty.
The customs commission of the
chamber has now decided to listen to
a delegation from the butchers syndi-
Gates, and questions are also promised
IN the senate Immediately. During the
last decade the price of meat has been
nearly doubled. Last year $40, 900 900
more than in 1902 was paid for the
same number of cattle at the Willette
market alone. In 1903 the duty of
foreign cattle was introduced Besides
breeders are exporting more and more
to Germany and Switzerland. It is
stated that the lower classes at pres
ent do not know how to make ends
meet. What, with higher rents and
dearer food, the workmen are really
TAR worse off than they were before
they went in for strikes and won
steady rises in their wages.
1t is not impossible that the French
government will be before long faced
with the same problem as is that of
the United States; that of revising the
tariff downdard, particularly on the
necessities of life. 1t is urged that
for the great mass Of the people the
high tariff has proven a burden and
most unbearable.

Voluntary Testimony Unprecedented
Says Move Saved Panic-Colonel AS

New York.-Theodore Roosevelt
talked boldly before the house of rep
resentatives committee of inquiry into
the United States Steel corporation
here, and voluntarily told how his
action in consenting to the absorption
OF the Tennessee Coal & Iron company
by the steel corporation in 1902 averted
a disastrous panic.
The former president IS action in sub
hitting to a congressional review Of
his own administration was almost IN
precedented in the history of the
United States, and was thoroughly
Rooseveltian. He arrived unheralded
at the city hall, vigorously shook hands
with members of the committee, de-
clared himself delighted to see every
body, and got down to business.
First he placed upon himself respon-
sibility for approving the absorption to
avert financial distress in Wall street
and condemned any man who would be
so weak as not to act as he did in that
crisis. Not to have done so, he said,
would have been criminal.

Appears at Crisis of Probe.

Probably nothing in the vigorous life
history of Theodore Roosevelt was more
dramatic than his public appearance
at the crisis of the investigation of the
transaction which has been recorded
in hundreds of pages of congressional
inquiry.
The chapter he contributed not only
dealt with his part in the events of
that threatening time, but he gave the
committee some interesting opinions
that doomed up in their import even
more than his recital of facts in the
Tennessee Coal 8 Iron transaction.

GREATEST SHOOTING
ON RECORD,

City Clerk A. E. Bickford and
Charles johnson of automobile
fame, spent Wednesday afternoon
in the vicinity Of Forbes hunting
for deer. They claim to have kill
ed a fine, buck and both claim
to have hit in the same place.
Bickford says he shot first and
the bullet struck the animal on
the left side where the heart is
supposed to be. Johnson's shot
Immediately followed that Of
Bickford and the former claims
that his bullet entered the same
hole made by the bullet from the
latter's gun. There is no disputing
this story as Daniel Perry of Iron
junction was present and saw
both bullets enter the side of the
deer. The animal will be mount
ed and placed in the Office of the
publicity committee in the city
hall where it can be examined as
to the authenticity of the shots
made by the above named parties.
This is the first real live deer
story handed in thus far this sea-
son with exception Of the one told
by Al. Telford. We will not at
tempt to tell this latter story but
for full particulars see Mr.. TEL
ford at Harry Gillham's. The
story is we'll worth the price Of
admission.

the happy faculty of giving fine
Interpretation and expression to

flaw, and the Polmatier Sisters
are ever assured a warm place in
the hearts of Baker City people.

Mr.. w. D. Mathews, who has

AS heretofore announced in The
Enterprise, the Canadian North
ern depot will not be erected this
winter, but it is anticipated that
work on the structure will begin
in the early spring. There is a
movement on foot to have a union
depot erected here, but the out
look for such is not very encour-
aging at the present time. The
Canadian Northern officials, ac-
cording to authentic reports, do
not favor the proposition, neither
do the officials of the Duluth,
Missabe 4 Northern, although the
Duluth & Iron Range officials are
said to favor such depot.

We have not heard from Jim
Hill o fthe Great Northern on the
subject so cannot state as to
whether he would be in favor of
the project. It is not at all likely
that a union depot will be erected
in Virginia for some time to come,
as it is apparent that the four
roads now running into Virginia
are at logger-heads and none of
the officials Of these roads favor
the project. Virginia stands
ready to aid the roads in the pro-
posed union depot project and it
is hoped that such will be accom-
plished in the not far distant fu-
ture.
