RAILROAD RATES IN
 PRESIDENTS HANDS
HOUSE COMMERCE COMMITTEE VOTES TO GIVE POWER TO
 CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

Washington, Feb. 5.--Interstate commerce commission committee of the house voted today to place final authority in fixing railroad rates dur ing the period of government control in the hands of the president. An amendment 10 the administration rail- road bill offered by Chairman Sims and adopted by a vote of ten to eight. provides that the president may initi- ate rates and that upon complaint the interstate commerce commission shall hold hearings and submit it's find- ings to the president for such action as he may deem required in the pub lie interests" As amended by the sen ate committee and introduced in the senate the bin provides that the presi- dent may initiate rates subject to re- view and alteration by the interstate commerce commission upon com plaint either of shippers or the car riers. A similar amendment was lost in the house committee today on a tie vote nine to nine.
 While the senate committee was considering this section members who had conferred with the president said he did not desire final authority in rate fixing.
 The only other important change made in the measure today by the house committee was 10 eliminate the section referring to disability con- pensation for railroad employees.
 The committee expects to complete the bill tomirrow and Chairman Sims will introduce it in the house as soon thereafter as possible.
 Seperate consideration of the meas ure probably will open next week Senate leaders believe the bill can be passed within two or three weeks although sharp debate is expected.

 It was only, when M Doyen be- gan his testimony that Bolo slumped down in his seat and listened to the accusations hurled at him. He pre- sented strong contrast at first to his co-prisoner, Porchere, his former secretary, who with hand upraised had sworn he was innocent.
 In the latter half of the session. however, Porchere seemed cooler than Bolo. This was especially true when M. Doyen road a specimen letter from collection of photographic reproduce tions of cheques and other papers which had been sent here by the att torney general of New York. This letter was addressed to the Amsinck bank, reading:
 You will receive sums for my ac- count, the amount of which Paven- stedt knows

 In his testimony before the senate commission MT Harris said the esti- mate of a maximum of three million tons of American ship production this year made last week by J. w. Powell. vice president of the Bethlehem Ship building corporation, was pessimistic and that he believed the fabricated ship problem would be entirely sue cessful.
 Mir. Harris asked to be relieved of duty with the fleet corporation be- cause of lack of authority in carry ing on his work. Hae said Chairman Hurley allowed subordinates in the corporation to report over his head.
 Some of what he called the short comings of the board were excused by the witness on the ground that the organizations were evolved "over- night" and that it's lack of business me hods was partially due to the fact that it had no business standing such as private corporations have.
 The committee has about concluded it's investigation of the shipping board but it will meet again at the call of Chairman Fletcher to take up minor matters.

AMERICANS AGAIN NIP
 GERM AN SURPRISE ATTACK
Teutons Were Awaiting the Word to Go OVc- the Top for an Attack When the Americans Opened Heavy Fire on the Position With Telling Effect.

New York, Feb. 5.--From the North Sea to the Swiss frontier the military activity daily seems % be growing in intensity and 1t may be fair to as- sume that in the not distant future some of the big battles that have been forecast will break.
 The American, British and French armies have been taking hacks at tho German line either by fairly strong patrol attacks, or by bombardments, while in turn the Teutons have been giving considerable attention on yari- ous sectors to their enemies.
 From the American viewpoint an- other successful maneuver by the Americans on their sector of the front is the greatest interest. As on last Saturday the Americans again have nipped in the bud an impending sur prise attack on their trenches and taught the Germans 6 salutary lesson with their artillery
 In the German trenches the Teu- ,ons were awaiting the word to go over the top Tor an attack when the Americans opened a heavy fire on the positions.
 Heavy casualties are believed to have been inflicted on the Teutons and considerable damage was done by the 75's on the German trenches due to the accuracy of aim of Ameri- can gunners.
 The Germans have not yet been able to re-occupy the trenches and dug outs battered by the American fire Saturday evening and have been forced to build smother line of trenches at that particular point

 Bolo's face lost the half smirk, half sheer which 1t had worn all day at the sensational close of M. Doyen's testimony and for the first time since the opening of the trial he waived the opportunity to interrogate.
 M. Doyen occupied the stand for nearly two hours detailing slowly and methodically his examination Of Bolo's affairs. His testimony was often technical and many who had crowded into the building had left when the witness reached the climax
 During the early portion of the trial Bolo retained the attitude which he had assumed yesterday, his joviality bringing repeated laughs. He spared with the prosecutor and chief judge during his own examination. He was

Stage Lines

In 1871 an extensive stage line be-
gan to operate through this region.
This was the Northwestern Stage
company. 1t connected the Central
Pacific railroad at KeltOn, Utah, with
The Dalles, Pendleton, Walla Walla,
ColfaX, Dayton, Lewiston, Pomeroy,
and all points north and west" To
illustrate the extent Of its operations
it may be said that it used 800
horses, % stages, $50 employees, and
annually fed out 365 tons of grain
and 412 tons of hay Local stage
lines also operated in all directions,
connecting with each other all the
principal points of the county and
transporting passengers and freight
to Snake river landings, to be there
loaded on the boats.
In 1881 Henry Willard. president
of the Oregon Railroad & Naviga-
ton Co., by means of his famous
blind pool" obtained majority of
the stock of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company and became its
president. In 1888 he pushed the
construction of the road from Duluth
to Wallula, and there it was connect
ed by the o. r. & n. with Portland.
Not until the summer of 1883 was
the gigantic task of crossing the Cas-
cade mountains by way of the Yaki-
ma valley and the Stampede pass
fully accomplished. A year prior to
that time, however, trains assembled
and descended the Cascades by the
dizzy zig-zags of the Switchback,
drawn by three gladiators of steel
and steam, the mighty "decapods'
which ground their way resistlessly
up 30O-foot grades.
The other transcontinental road
upon which Whitman county is es-
pecially dependent is the Union Pa
cific system, through the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Co. This line
was the successor upon the river OF
the old Oregon Steam Navigation
line, having purchased that property
in 1879. Henry Willard was its ami
mating genius
The years of railroad construction
from Portland to Wallula, 1880.
1888, were never surpassed in actiy
ity and in results in the history OF
