Baggage Service on
The Valley Motor

used to advantage by any travelling
men who carry trunks.
Another advantage, from the rail-
road standpoint, is that it will re-
lieve the through trains of much way
baggage. At present many parties
making trips in the valley go on the
motor and leave their baggage to fol-
low on a regular steam train. This
increases the proportion Of baggage
to the passengers OF the through SER
vice and causes vexatious and unnec-
essary delays handling large
amount of local baggage.
While declaring that they were
only making tests and that the bag
gage car was quite load for the
motor, Mr.. Hansen admitted that it
could haul it by increasing the run
ming time slightly.

Phone Compromise
Helps Business

New York, Dec. 22.-Immediate
restoration of confidence in big busl-
ness circles as result of the govern
ment's agreement with the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
was predicted here Saturday by
Theodore Vail, president of the cor
poration, in an interview with the
United Press.
"It gives assurance" said Vail,
"to legitimate business desires and
means an end to underground rum
ors of business depression and posi-
BILE panic.
II have no idea yet of how our
company will dispose of its $30,000,-
900 worth of Western Union stock.
The details are yet to be arranged.
If we had any plan at this time for
it's disposal it would practically
amount to a confession that we had
framed up something on the govern
ment
THE matter of making contracts
with 10000 independent companies
for the use OF our interstate and
long distance lines will entail! a 81

us with giving the preference to our

this by instructing our own EN-
ployes to give the preference to In
dependent subscribers wherever the
question arises"

M. ]. Luark, the pioneer stage

lev. was in Grants Pass last week,
taking a look at the country through
which he carried mail in 1858, or
55 years ago Mr.. Luark was only
a young man in those days, and has
interesting tales to tell of the pioneer
times, as we'll as of his experiences
since. His route was between Oak
land, Ore, and Yreka, CAL, and he
drove a two-horse wagon from oak
land to Grants Pass and from there
continued on with pack horses, the
wagon road ending at that point
The Grants Pass of that time, how
ever. was located somewhat farther
ND the river than it is at the present
time.
Since leaving southern Oregon II
1859 Mr.. Luark has been in Callfor
MIA, and for many years has been
well-known citizen of Chehalis coun
ty. Washington, his home being a
Montesano. Since his experience II

PUBLIC BUILDINGS
BILL BELIEVED VALID
Senator Sutherland Not Alarmed Over
Question Raised by Repre-
sentative Mann.

Senator Sutherland OF Utah, chairman
OF the Senate Committe on Public Build
ings and Grounds in the last Congress,
is not disturbed over a question raised
by Representative Mann OF Illinois, mi
the validity of the public buildings bill
passed in the closing hours OF the last
Congress.
Senator Sutherland was chairman Of
the conference committee OF ths two
Houses. which finally agreed on the
bill carrying appropriations agGregating
nearly 900. Now comes Represent
ative Mann, who is a parliamentary as
well as n legislative sharp. and points
out that only four Of the items in the
public buildings bill are valid legislation
He bases his conclusion on the fact that
the Congressional Record shows that
when the conference report was finally
agreed to that only those four items
were read in a formal way and agreed
TO. and that as to the rest Of the confer
ence report what became OF II the
CongressionR Tscord is silent
The apparent error to which Represent
ative Mann referred results from the
haste and inconvenience OF passing legis-
lation in the closing hours of Congress.
The conference report on the bill had
been practically agreed to except as to
the four items These were held open
and in dispute until the very last hours
Of the session. and then were rewritten
in compromise form and submitted TO
both Houses and agreed to. Mr.. Mann
insists that the Congressional Record
shows only an agreement on the four
items. and that by an oversight the rest
of the omnibus bill was not formally
agreed to-

throughout Ohio, who have been assem-
bled for the relief of Dayton. are un-
able to enter the city.

anxiety has arisen for his safety.
Appeals TO towns west Of Dayton to
furnish supplies for smaller places swept
by the floods were sent out yesterday
by the Red Cross at the suggestion OF
Agent T. J. Edmonds, now at Dayton. 1t
is impossible for the organization prop
perly to care for the sufferers in the va
rious hamlets near Dayton, which have
been visited by floods.
Dispatches received yesterday show
that Dayton has been cut in two by
the flood. and it Is impossible for the
halves of the town to get into communi-
cation. Agent Edmonds has asked that
supplies be sent from the North.
