Situation
in Mexico
Is Very Bad


Washington, Jan. 22,-Only by dis
tributing land to the starving poems
can President Francisco |. Madero
restore peace in Mexico, according to
private information received here to-
day by the senate committee on for
eign relations. 1t was also indicated
that conditions in the southern re-
public are entirely beyond Maderos
control.
Senator William Alden Smith, the
chairman Of q senate subcommittee
which investigated the Mexican situa-
ton returned here today from El
PasO, Texas, but aside from saying
he did not believe the committees
finding would be sent to the senate
at once, refused to discuss the in
vestigation.
The Information received by the
full committee today indicates that
all the abuses which led to the over
throw Of Porfirlo Diaz continue under
the Madero administration. It was
also learned that Madero and his adj
vlsors flatly refuse to surrender lands
or restore civil rights to the people,
fearing such concessions would hast
en- the administration downfall.

Takes Action Toward Re-

bledby Railroads in Seattle
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.1

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 22.-An effort
to break the water front monopoly and
regain control Of two and one-half
miles of Seattle water front, valued
at S1OO,OOO,0OO, was started here to-
day by Representative Paul Hauser,
of King county, and city attorney of
Renton.
Claiming this land, which is now
either owned outright or controlled
by private interests, belongs to the
state, Houser introduced before the
house joint resolution asking that
a committee Of five, two from the SEN
ate and three from the house, be
named to make an investigation and
take action.
Houser claims Railroad avenue, in
Seattle, for 21-2 miles, to which the
various railroads, dock companies and
others claim clear title from the state.

been sold He further contends that
all leases on property between the in
ner and outer harbor are Of the Seat
tie harbor,, and can be declared void
by the state where no improvements
have been made by the lesses in aid of
navigation. On large part of this
territory, controlled by private lesses,
no improvements have been made at
all. In other portions the improve
ments have been wholly of q private
nature, instead of Quasi-publlc in aid
Of navigation.
This immense territory Houser
wants the Seattle port commission to
own and to control, and to fix dock
age and harbor rates.
Houser bases his contention on the
fact that the supreme court has held
that where harbor commission has
once fixed the harbor lines, It REQUIRES
constitutional amendment to change
them.
In tracing down the history of the
Seattle harbor line, Houser found the
semple commission, in 1891, was the
first authorized to prescribe harbor
lines This commission included
Railroad avenue in the reserved area.

NIT to be sold. The semple commits
sion was subsequently succeeded by
what was known as the McGraw COM
mission, which changed the harbor
line, moved it up some 300 feet, and
left Railroad avenue TO be gobbled up
by private owners.

In an address before delegation of
business men from La Grande, en-
route to the Retail Dealers convention
at Albany who were guests of Salem
business men at banquet given at
the Marion Hotel last night, ]. L..
Stockton, president Of the retailers
association, expressed the wish that
the state convention next year be held
at La Grande.
Following the suggestion of Presi-

La Grande men who spoke declared
that the association would be given an
invitation to come to the eastern Ore

the state convention will be held at

Practically the entire organization Of

out to welcome the La Grande visitors.
Addresses Of welcome were given by
Mayor B. L. Sleeves, representing the
city, by H, o. White, representing the
Board Of Trade, and by ]. L. Stockton,
in behalf of the business men. These

Would Have
All Meats
Inspected
WESTERLUND WOULD COMPEL
FARMERS TO HAVE ALL AM.
MAILS INSPECTED BEFORE
SLAUGHTERING-BUT HE OVER.
LOOKS THE FOWLS.

Farmers and meat dealers all over
the state 1t is anticipated will get
busy as soon as they realize the i'm
port of the meat inspection bill in
troduced in the House by j. A. West
erlund, Of Jackson county, and en-
deayor to prevent its passage. Mr..
Westerlund expects much opposition
but declares that 1t is imperatively
necessary that the public be protected
from impure meat.
Farmers in every community ad-
Jacent to city, town or village have
from time immemorial made a prac-
tice Of slaughtering their surplus
beer, hogs, calves and sheep and of
either peddling the meat out to homes
or town-dwellers, or delivering It to
regular customers. The Westerlund
Dill would prevent this, unless the
butcher or farmer before slaughter
ing had the animal or animals to be
slaughtered first inspected by a coun-
ty meat inspector or his deputy.
Farmers and butchers can also fore
see whole lot of confusion, bother,
delay and complications by such in
spection, to say nothing of added ex-
pense. The bill provided that the
inspector or his deputy, who makes
the inspection, shall draw a fee of
20 cents per head for cattle, includ-
ing veal, and 10 cents per head for
hogs, sheep and goats, the fee to be
paid by the person having such in
spection made.
Already persons opposed to the
bill have pointed out that such in
spection would tend to increase the
cost Of living as in addition to the
cost of inspection the bill provides
that when the inspector Is required to
travel a distance of more than two
miles to inspect any animal for
he may charge 10 cents
per mile one way, for such distance
In excess of 2 miles, and shall re-
fuse to make such inspection until !
The person owning the animals pays
The mileage expense.
The motive behind the bill is that
some time ago Mr.. Westerlund pur-
chased a fine looking half hog car
Ass from a farmer peddler, and when
he first pork chops began to fry in
he skillet up popped a lot of worms
rom the meat.
"The bill will not affect those
who sell United States gov
'rnment inspected beef and other
meats, as most Of them do in the cities
md larger towns says the Medford
nan, but many Of the smaller towns
md the villages have no inspection
and can easily have dis
'ased meats worked off on them.
Butchers and farmers may Innocent
y slaughter animals that are dis
'ased. Expert inspection would thus
'rotect the public health"
The bill provides that the State
Board Of Health shall appoint each I
ounty inspector, and each inspector |
hall appoint his own deputies in var
BUS parts Of his county. The Board
hall also make all rules and regu-
atoms governing the inspections, and I

MILLION ACRES OF LAND TO

When the House late yesterday
passed the vetoed bill Of Thompson
relating to lands near Warner Lake,

and sent the following telegram to

and Anderson lakes into the hands Of
a corporation, and l would therefore
request that these lakes be eliminated
from your bill in order that title may
pass to actual settlers"

overrode the governors veto, despite
the protests that were made by Rep
resentative Hagood and others
against the steam roller tactics in
shutting off debate before Hagood
could be heard in opposition to pass
ing the bill. 1t was the first bad
feeling engendered in the House this
session. A number Of those who
voted against the bill announced that
they did so simply to register a pro-
test against shutting off debate on
any measure and steam roller tactics.
Tho bill two years ago passed. the
House without dissenting vote. It
provides for the drainage of about
100000 acres Of swamp and lake
lands in klamath and Lake counties.

the custodlans Of the Capital City, and
1t is up to us to make Salem the best
capital city in the United States. I
take special pleasure in welcoming
men from La Grande, for I myself was
once resident of Eastern Oregon, and
for several years surveyed the country
from the hurricane deck OF a cayuse.
Eastern Oregon is a place Of magnifi-
cent distances and men of magnifi-
cent ideas When was practicing
medicine in that country, thought
nothing Of driving so miles a day, and
once Travelled 15O miles in a day with
three teams.

something more than fill a mans craw

blood. 7 am told that the champion
long distance booster of the world

SURGERY ON THE SKULL.
The Operation of Trepannins Was
Common In Ancient Times.


While the medical professi-G Is
agreed that some rough form of sur
gerry must have existed from very an
cient times, 1t has always been a mat
ter of wonder that so complex and deli
cate an operation as trepannlng should
also be one of the Oldest
There is authentic record of this OPP
Grafton dating back to the time of Hip
pocrates, who wrote treatises on frac-
lures, dislocations and wounds of the
head, wherein he described the method
of procedure to be followed in the case
of fractured skull His idea was TO
cut away piece of bone so that the
pressure on the brain might be relieved
The annals of this era also show that
a file was used for this purpose, which
at time when modern anaesthetics
were unknown, must have been. to say
the least painful.
According to Holmes, the operation
Of removing pieces of bone was per-
formed long before historic times. The
effects on the skull are easily seen after
death and are visible as long as the
bones are preserved From inspection
of certain skulls OF the later stone age
in ancient Britain there has been de
rived the conclusion that some of these
had undergone the operation, which
must have been performed with stone

THE MAKING OF WORDS.
Curious Origin Of Some of Our Most
Common Expressions.

Common Expressions.
In the Romance of Words" a pub
llcation by an English author, much
space is devoted to "aphesis," which
means q gradual or unintentional loss
of an unaccented vowel at the begin
ming of n word. This kind of word
shrinkage is more common than one
might suppose.
Sometimes the middle syllable of
word will be slurred to the point of
extinction. From Mary Magdalene,
fearful and penitent, comes the word
sexton the old French word paralysie
becomes palsy; hydropisie becomes
dropsy. and the word procurator be-
comes proctor in English. Bethlehem
Hospital For Lunatics, established in
London, came to be telescoped into
bedlam, much as Cholmondeley came
to be Chumley and Majoribanks
Marshbanks. Peel is for appeal. mend
for amend, lone for alone, fender
whether before fireplace or outside a
ship, is for defender; fence for defense,
faint for attaint. H#a sfI .sl
The word peach, commonly regarded
as English thief slang. goes back to
the time of Shakespeare and is relat-
ed to impeach. though used to indicate
informing against an aceomplice. The
word cad is for Scotch caddie. once an
errand boy, now familiar In connection
with golf. Caddie Is from the French
word cadet. meaning Junior or young
er her.-Indianapolis News.
