On the complaint of a Buckley mill
company against the Northern Pacific
railroad, the public service commission
has held that a differential Of ten cents
thousand for logs shipped in less
than ten car load lots and in more than
that amount is sufficient, and that a
greater sum cannot be allowed as it
would make too great a difference in
the cost of lumber.
The sum of S28,479 has been col
lected by the state tax commission
from the Northern Express Company,
this sum representing five per cent
special privilege tax on the gross in
come of the company which for the
year ending March IL, 1912 amount
ed to S58o,572. Last year the gross
earnings of the company was 1863, 1874
and tax of $33,459 was collected.
The falling off this year is attributed to
the Milwaukee railroad.
The United States supreme court
has sent back for a rehearing the or
der of the old railroad commission di-
recting the physical valuation of
railroads in Eastern Washington, but
has held that the Washington law is
constitutional. The United States su-
preme court has never before passed
upon the question.
In the State of Washington during
the year 1911, total Of $31, 877.75
was expended to protect the forests of
the state from fires, according to fig
ures given out by the state fire warden.
There were twenty three counties in
which this money was spent, the lar
gest sum being in Lewis county where
it cost SIS, 537.28 for fighting fires and
protecting the forests while in Spokane
county the smallest amount was spent,
or 567.55. OF the cost of fire pro-
lection for the forests the state pays
two-thirds and the counties where the
money is spent the remainder. A to-
tai OF 10,625.90 was the amount
which the counties will have to pay
for fire protection last year. In Che
Ian county no money was spent.
The shortage of 81, 142 which the
state has been trying so long to collect
from former state highway commission
er Joseph M. Snow, has been paid to
the state by the company which wrote
the bond for Snow. When Snow re-
tired from Office soon after M. E. Hay
became governor, it was found that
81, JAP of the $4,000 paid by the
Milwaukee for the right of way through
Snoqualmie Pass was unaccounted Tor.
This money had been placed in Snow S
care in trust for the state by the old
highway board.
Gov. Hay has named Sunday May
IL, as the date for the observance OF
Mothers Day, and has issued formal
proclamation to that effect, recon-
mending that the occasion be fitting
ly observed. The custom has grown
up of setting aside one day in the year
to be devoted to the mothers and
those who are away from home on that
day either visit OF write letters to their
mothers.
A complaint filed with the public
service commission alleges that ex-
press companies on an investment of a
few thousands Of dollars declare mill
ions in dividends and that the express
rates are excessive in this state. The
commission has cited the Great North
ern, the Northern, the Wells Fargo,
the American and the Western to ap-
pear at the hearing which will open
May Is, when the commission will
inquire into the matter.

Eleven new Salmon CannerieS to be Put
in Operation Off Alaskan Coast

III Upefdti0n VII AldSkdn TOAST
w. T. Clark, the newly elected
president Of the Wenatchee Valley
Fruitgrowers' Association, will superin-
tend the sale Of this years crop. For
some time past, the organization sought
a sales manager, but could not get the
right man. Clark, who is one Of the
best known horticulture and irrigation
experts in the Northwest, has given a
great deal of study to the marketing
problem. Accordingly, the Associa-
ton agreed to try out his ideas, which
are all based on first hand experience.
Mr.. Clark will be assisted by G. w.
Coburn, who for some years past has
been secretary of the Wenatchee Com
mercial club. He resigned to take up
the new work. Fruitgrowers every
where will watch with much interest
the developments at Wenatchee this
year.
Eleven new salmon canneries will
be operated on the Alaskan Coast this
year. 1t was not so long ago that the
marketing Of this fish was big prob
lem, but to day it goes to all parts Of
the world. AS food substance, it is
growing in importance. The large
salmon fleets are fitting out on Puget
Sound now, to go north Immediately
for the summer season. A record pack
is expected. AS a wealth producer,
the fishing industry Of Alaska is one of
its most important, although many
people are still Of the opinion that min
ing is the only big industry there.
To make Seattle's forthcoming an
nual Potlatch help attract attention to
the entire Puget Sound country, it is
urged that a number of railroad and
steamboat excursions be arranged to
different points, at the conclusion OF
the festivities. This would not only
add variety to the entertainment. but
might be the means of interesting
many persons in the splendid land op-
portunities all along the coast line,
and throughout Western Washington.
This matter is now being considered
by the Progress & Prosperity Commit
tee of the New Seattle Chamber Of
Commerce.
The Tacoma Commercial Club and
Chamber of Commerce is now installed
in its handsome new building, which
was erected by the Weyerhaeuser Tim
Der Company. It is known as the Ia
coma Building and represents an in
vestment OF half a million dollars.
All departments Of the organization
are comfortably taken care of with am
pie room space. The entire top floor
is devoted to cafe and social purposes.
1t is one of the most complete struc-
lures to be found on the Pacific coast.
The United States Supreme Court
has decided that Alaska is duly organ
lied territory, and not a mere district,
wherefor the Interstate Commerce
Commission has jurisdiction over all
railroad matters in the North. The
Commission had not previously be-
lieved in its authority to this extent
and appealed to the Supreme Court in
the case of the Humbolt Steamship
Company VS.. the White Pass and Yu-
kon Railroad Co. This decision puts
an end to all rate Determinations and
wharf charges in Alaska, and settles
the much mooted question as to the
relation of Alaska to the states and
territories.

 Oklahoma ity.-ApproXlmately Al lives are known to have been sacrifice ed to the storm kings wrath when a tornado of unusual magnitude swept through northern Texas and the state of Oklahoma. Several others are re- ported dead, but this cannot be con firmed. The injured list will exceed 100. Fully 20 towns suffered. The propegty loss cannot be estimated
 The heavy wind was accompanied by a terrific downpour of rain and in many instances hail. The fall of rain amounted to from one to five inches. As a result all of the smaller streams in western Oklahoma were on rampage. The Rock Island bridge over the Cimarron river, 30 miles south of Enid, was washed out
 The two branches of Elk Creek, west of Hobart, have joined and the stream was more than mile wide.
 A farmers family of four, living west of Hobart, names unknown, are Said to have been killed.
 All of central Oklahoma seems de- moralized, and it will be several days before anything like an accurate es- innate of the property loss or list of the dead and injured can be secured.

 Although Little Rock was in the di- rect path of the storm, no trace of it was seen here. About o'clock in the afternoon, however. it struck at Keo, in Lonoke county, small sta tion on the Cotton Belt railroad, about 15 miles from Little Rock, Here buildings were blown down and trees uprooted.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to itch and burn, and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when I removed his shirt.
 We tried great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I used the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although We had tried several other things, and doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem- edies will do all that is claimed for them, and a great deal more" (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont, Jan. 28, 1911 Although Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept L.
