Depth of Snow Such as to Delay
Work on Columbia for Time.
Astoria, Or.-None of the logging
camps on the north side of the Lower
Columbia river have resumed opera
tions since the closedown for the
Christmas holidays, and the indica-
tions are that it will be several weeks
before any of them will be able to
start. There is from eight to ten
inches of snow in that section ana
that would prevent much being done
in the logging line.
The first camp to start up is expect
ed to be the Portland Lumber COM

Nav Officers GriIled.

Washington, D. C.-Representative
Howard, of Georgia, urging before the
house naval affairs subcommittee, the
reinstatement of Lieutenant Colonel
C. M. Perkins, of the Marine corps,
declared that Perkins discharge for
alleged "mental ipcompetency" was a
"Dreyfus" conspiracy, Matched at the
Army and Navy club in Washington.
Mr.. Howard attacked both the Ma
rine corps and the navy.
"Only 80 per cent of the officers of
the navy" he said, "are in actual
service. The remainder sit about

NEW PLOT is FEARED.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey SHIP
Ammunition to Mexico.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey Ship
Ammunition to Mexico.
New Orleans Evidence Indicating
a more widespread revolutionary plot
against Mexico than heretofore has
been attribted to the opponents of the
Madero administration has come to
light in the shipment of eight carloads
Of ammunition and explosives from
points in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey within the last so days.
The fact that these shipments were
detoured at points north Of New Or
leans is said to have been established,
leading to the superstition that the
real destination was one of the Gulf
ports between this city and Mobile,
from which in the past many filibus-
tering expeditions have cleared.
& In addition to these eight carloads,
agents of the Mexican government
assert, one of the firm in New Orleans
has shipped $50 rifles week for the
past five weeks to points in Texas,
near the Mexican border.

Hitchcock Plan Boosted.

Washington, D. c. = A feature of
the annual report of Joseph S. Stew
art, second assistant postmaster gene
raj, is a Recommendation that the gov
eminent pay only for what it receives
in the transportation of the mails.
An elaborate discussion Of the pro-
posed plan of Postmaster General
Hitchcock to pay the railroads for
actual service performed is presented.
This plan, it is said, "would elimi-
nate all distinction between payment
for weight and payment for space, and
would be based on the space occupied
by the mails in transit and the haul OF
the same.
The plan you'd enable the govern
ment to transport the mails at a rate
Of 6 per cent above actual cost to the
roads.

Senate Curbs NewIands.

Washington, D. C.-The senate has
refused permission to Senator New
lands, of Nevada, to have his resolu-
ton for legislative programme made
unfinished business. Mr.. Newlands,
in his argument for the resolution,
said it was intended to facilitate the
work of congress, and mentioned fail
ure to enact legislation for the i'm
provement of waterways or for physi-
cal valuation of railroads as instances
wherein congress does not respond to
the will of the people. He charged
that the appointment of the National
waterways commission was made to
postpone action, declaring it was a
sandbagging process and that rail
road influence was behind it.

BATTLE DANGER REDUCED.
Navy Arranges to Strip Ships Q
Wood When in Action.

Navy Arranges to Strip Ships Of
Wood When in Action.
Washington, D. C.-Every year the
battle practice in the American navy
more closely approximates the condi.
lions of actual warfare.
In the spring practice of the Allan
tic feet this year the idea of rid
ding ship as far as possible Of COM
bustible material and woodwork that
might cause splinters in action is to
be carried out. The plans contem-
plate the removal of all wooden boats,
the hunks and the wooden furniture.
Not even the mess tables will be left
and the bluejackets will have to eat
their meals sduatting, tailor-fashion,
on deck.
More damage and loss of life have
resulted on shipboard in time of war
from suffocating fires and flying splin-
tiers than from shot and shell wounds,
therefore it has been decided to de-
termine just how much woodwork can
be dispensed with when a craft clears
for action.
The spring practice Of the fleet in
the West Indian waters with Guam
tanomo as the base, will occupy ten
days more than two months, begin
ming January 10. After that is COM
pleted the big ships will come north to
the Southern drill grounds off the
CheSapeake capes. for the regular bat
tie practice.

LAND EXCHANGE PROVIDED.
Hawiey Bill Would Permit States to
sa Make Lieu Selections.

fn make Lieu oeteCuOHS.
Washington, D. C.-Realizing that
western states can derive no practical
benefit from school sftions scattered
through forest reserves, Representa-
tive Hawley introduced a bill which
permits the exchange of these lands
for compact bodies of equal area, SO
situated as to be of value.
His bill provides that where any
state owns lands within a national
forest or where its rights of indemnity
selection in respect to school sections
within such boundaries has not been
fully exercised, the state, subject to
the approval of the secretary of agri-
culture, may change such lands for,
or make indemnity selections of, other
national forest lands of like quantity
and value, to be selected in reasonably
compact bodies, which lands shall
thereafter be excluded from national
forests for the benefit of the state.

ISSUES ARE MANY.
Washington Win Have Important
s. State Campaign.

Washington VIII Have important
State Campaign.
Olympia The putting into effect Of
the new industrial insurance law; the
death Of Chairman Fairchild, Of the
public service commission; the resig-
nation of J. c. Lawrence, who sue
ceeded him; the resignation Of w. r.
Bell as attorney general and the mann
ing Of w. v. Tanner by Governor Hay
to succeed him; the appointment by
Governor Hay of Assistant Attorney
General Lee as q member Of the In
dustrial Insurance commission and
his transfer later to the Public Serv-
ice commission; the announcement Of
III. B. Dewey, state superintendent Of
public instruction, that he will be a
candidate for congress in the Second
district, and the getting under way of
plans for the construction of the new
IS, 900, 900 capitol, are among the
things that will make the year 1911
notable in political circles.
In addition to this, the fact that the
state paid off 81, 200, 900 worth of out
standing bonds against the general
fund and put it on cash basis for the
first time; that the state tax levies
have been cut to as low point as at
any time in its history, and that
1914, 900 was turned back in unex-
pended balances from the various de-
partments, as against $50. 0O0,, the
previous record, are new points in
connection with the states financial
history.
All of these matters will have more
or less bearing in the coming cam
paign, for in 1912, while the United
States is busy electing a president,
Washington will elect governor, q
secretary of state, an auditor, treas
urer, land Commissioners, an insur-
ance commissioner, superintendent
of public instruction, an attorney gen
eral and three judges of the Supreme
court.
Along with the Federal and state
elections will be held the local. county
and precinct elections and in some in
stances municipal elections as well.
AS result the Washington voter is
not going to have q short ballot when
he goes to the polls, ..and the women,
who will vote for the first time since
statehood on all questions, will be con-
fronted by ballot bearing from Is to
40 names, including Federal, state,
county and precinct candidates.
Likewise there are two constitu-
tional amendments, the initiative and
referendum and the removal of the
restriction limiting county officials to
two terms.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Poin-
dexter came out in favor Of the nomi-
nation of ]. C. Lawrence, ex-Railroad
commissioner, as the Republican can
didate for governor Of Washington,
and expressed the opinion that Law
renee not only will be nominated, but
elected.
Poindexter comes to Lawrence's sup
port, he says, because Lawrence is
progressive and has demonstrated,
while railroad commissioner, that he
is not subservient to the power of the
railroads or other great interests.

FEDERAL QUARANTINE NOW.

California Wants. Aid in Fighting
Threatening Fruit Fly.
Washington, D. c. - The sum Of
$50, 900 to repulse the invasion of the
Mediterranean fruit fly is asked in q
bill introduced by Representatives
Hayes and Kahn, of California.
California, they say, had held an
extra session Of it's legislature and
passed legislation along this line.
The invasion is threatened from the
Hawaiian islands, the fly's habitat.
and fruit brought from there. carries

This work will include increase of Nv
dro-electric power at the foot ~

dam to cost between $4,000, 900 and
$4,000. 900, according to the estimate.
of the engineers. and will take from
four to six years to complete it a.
though the intention of the Genera,
Electric company is to make it off
cient in sections, SO that when tbo
last section is finished all NAV bo
Joined into one immense unit, takinc
up the entire available power at tb.t
point on the rapids.
It is reported that partial arrange.
ments have been made with the Fed.
eral government, through the War de-.
partment, to permit the construction
of the dam, with the stipulation that
it shall be built. so that when the gov.
ernment- considers itself sjustifed in

its locks to the dam at Priest rapids
with less expense than it could build
the locks separately from .sother con.

1t is the intention of the Pacific
Power & Light company, acting under
the influence Of its New York connec-
tions, to commence work onYthe dam
site as soon as the corporations chief
engineers complete their plans and
detail estimates.
Another item which will have ma

White Bluffs country is the building
of the Pacific Power & Light COM
pany's high line ditch, which will wa
ter 10000 acres bordering White
Bluffs on the west. The engineers
are now finishing surveys and the
grading will be commenced within 30
days. The canal will be ready to de-

on more extensive scale than has
ever been seen in the valley. Many
stock and hog farms are being opened
and much money is being invested in

DEATH CLAIMS
ADMIRAL EVANS
Indigestion Suddenly Lays Low
Famous Fighter.
Feeling Fine in Morning, Has Hearty
Lunch at Noon, and Dies at
4:45 O'clock p. NJ.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans" Fighting Bob" to
an admiring nation-died suddenly to-
day at his home in this city. Acute
Indigestion ended the career Of one OF
the most popular officers of the navy.
He was i'll less than three hours.
Admiral Evans arose today appar-
emily in better health and spirits than
he had enjoyed in some time. Fol
years sufferer from old wounds sus.
tanned in the Civil war and from re-
current attacks of rheumatic govt, the
aged fighter seemed to have shaken off
the burden Of his advancing days. He
displayed high spirits at breakfast,
and ate hearty luncheon at noon.
When in his library at o'clock in
the afternoon the admiral was strick-
en-. His family sent instantly for DR..
S. S. Adams, who on arrival found him
in great pain. After treatment, Ad-
miral Evans fell into restless sleep,
and it was thought the danger had
passed. Shortly after 4 o'clock, how
ever, he awakened and, raising him
self, with difficulty, announced that he
was choking.
81 cannot get my breath" he said,
and sank back. At 4:45 o'clock he
died, conscious to the end.
At his bedside were his wife, his
daughter, Mrs. Fl. I. Sewall, and his
daughter-in -law, Mrs. F. T. Evans,
wife of the admiral's only son, a lieu
tenant commander in the navy and
now on duty on the torpedo boat des-
troyer Monahan at Boston. The only
other member of his immediate fam
lily who was not present was his
daughter, Mrs. Marsh, wife of Cap
tain Charles c. Marsh, commanding
the armored cruiser North Carolina.
The news spread with great rapid.
ity and caused profound shock in
official circles. President Taft was
one of the first to express his grief
and coincidence.
admiral Evans was one Of the
most successful squadron commanders
we have had in the navy for long
time" said the president. He was
q rigid disciplinarian of quick decision
and admirably advised in the intri-
cacies Of machinery on cruisers and
battleships and skilled in drilling
