Catholic Diocese of Xlsqunlly to Chanse Itss Hcmlquartcrs,. SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Right Rev. Edward J. O'Dca, Roman Catholic bishop of Nisnually. today an nounced the removal of the see of his diocese from Vancouver. Wash., where It has been since the diocese was first formed, and Its permanent location In Se attle. The change has been contemplated for more than a year, as the rapid growth of the church and the increase in number ot churches has demanded a more central location for the bishop. The announcement was made this morn ing from the pulpit of the Church of Our Lady of Good Help, which the bishop has decided to use as his pro-cathedral. In an Interview this afternoon, the bish op gave his reasons for the change and discussed his plans. He has felt for some time the necessity of being located, at some point from which all parts of his diocese could be more readily reached than from Vancouver. He also believes that the see of the bishop should properly be In the largest city of his diocese and among the largest body of his people. The bishop has already purchased a handsome residence on Terry nvenue. which Is being refitted and refurnished for his use. "We have acquired a block of land on Ninth avenue," said the bishop, "on which it Is Intended to build a cathedral that will be a credit to the church, the city and the state A building such as wd have In mind will cost about $250,000. Wc have not yet the means to begin construction, but expect to have soon. If necessary, we can borrow it. Until the cathedral Is built, the Church ot Our Lady of Good Help will be tho official church of the bishop. After the transfer from Vancou ver to Seattle is completed. I will prob ably make application to Rome to have the name of the diocese changed from Nlsaually to the diocese of Seattle." BILL TO AID LOGGERS (Continued from First Page.) the time this act takes effect: third, the first applicant In point of time. After the 30-day limit. If two applications be filed simultaneously, the court shall decide which of the parties is best entitled to the right. From decisions In any of these matters appeals may bo taken to the Circuit Court. 'The' Senate has adopted another amend ment exempting tho Clackamas and Tual atin Rivers and their tributaries from the operation of thla act. These exceptions were made for the reason that extensive water power rights have' been acquired on these streams. Principle of Eminent Domain. V The essential principle Involved in the plan of this bill Is exactly the same as that which permits a railroad corpora tion to condemn a right of way for a railroad. The railroad company may pur chase its right of way It it can make sat isfactory terms. If some farmer refuses to make terms, a suit may bo brought and the damages ascertained, and upon the CAMERON THE KILTIES, WHO MADE ALL LIKE TIII11TV CEXTS. payment thereof the company may con struct Its road. The' law confers thi3 power upon a railroad company, but ex ercises the right . to place a maximum limit upon passenger and freight rates. In Oregon the fixing of freight rates has been lett entirely to tne win or tne ran road companies. What Lumbermen Need. What the logging companies want par ticularly Is the right ot eminent domain As long as a stream is obstructed or Is too shallow, and they cannot improve it without the consent of every riparian owner, very little can be done. One man can perhaps stand In the way of the lm prcvement of a whole stream. Scores of timber owners may be prevented from having access to the. lumber market be cause there exists no right of condemna tion. Thus far the need ot such a power has been but little felt, for the reason that It Is only in the last two or three years that logging Has been pushed back Into the mountains, where the streams are small. The bill under consideration does not propose to take away any man's property, except to make a highway which shall be open to the use of all per sons who may wish to use It. In giving to the person who Improves a stream th right to collect toll, the law does exactly what was done when persons and corpor ations were. In a number of instances In this state, permitted to build toll roads and collect toils as a compensation for their Investment. "Similar Lain In Other States. As the principle of, eminent domain Is not new In other lines of Industrial enter prise and development, neither Is It new as applied to the Improvement of logging streams, such old and well-known lum bering states as Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota have for many years had upon their statute books laws allowing corpor ation: to. condemn riparian rights, to con trol streams and to collect tolls from oth era who float logs thereon. Neither Wis consln nor Minnesota places a maximum limit upon the rate of toll, but In both states the charges are fixed by the cor porations themselves. Tho law of the Stile of Wisconsin relative to the lm provement of streams by corporations provides that every such corporation which shall so Improve a stream and so keep In repair and operate its works co as to render driving logs to the mouth thereof, reasonably practicable and cer tain, may charge and collect reasonable and uniform toll upon all logs, etc, to be fixed by the board ot directors. Such cor porations also have the right to take pos session of all logs put Into the stream for the purpose of making a drive, without hindering the main drive; and shall also, at the request of the owner of any logs, take charge and drive the same down and out of such stream and charge and col lect therefor reasonable charges and ex penses for such services. Such corpora tions also have a Jlen for such tolls, costs and. expenses. Such corporations have a right to condemn any land adjacent to said stream which may be overflowed or injured by the flooding of .the stream for floating logs. Condemnation proceedings shall be commenced by filing a petition In the proper court, commissioners to appraise the damage are appointed, who make the report to the court. If any of the parties nre aggrieved or injured, they have the right of appeal. Any corporation formed under this act, which shall have taken prior possession of any stream for the purposes herein mentioned, shall have the exclusive power to improve such stream or portion thereof: they are not allowed j to obstruct, to materially obstruct or lm pedo navigation or erect any dam or ob struction below the head of steamboat navigation. All such "corporations have the right to collect toll or boom charges. Such corporation shall have power to ac quire tho title to lands and easements therein. In. upon and contiguous to such streams and sloughs within the limits of Its proposed line of piers and booms, cith er by purchase, lease or license, or the ex ercise of the right ot eminent domain. In the manner prescribed in chapter S7 of the revised statutes, entitled "Of Rail roads." Minnesota. Tho laws of the State of Minnesota. In regard to Improvements of streams for logging purpones, provide that any corpo ration organized for this purpose has a general right, the same as railroad corpo rations, to condemn private property. Every such corporation which rtiall Im prove and Keep in repair am 9 and operate its works so as to render driving logs thereon rcaaanably practic able and certain, may charge and collect reasonable and uniform tolls, upon all logs, lumber nnd timber driven siuicca floated on the same, ana may nninn of all Iocs put Into sucn stream or upon rollwajv. in cases where the owners ot sucn logs may not uOlclcnt men, team and tools proper- tn drive their own Iocs. Such corpora tion shall, 'at the request of the owner of any logn and timber put into such streams, take charge of the wrae. and drive the same so far as their Improvements may extend, and charge and collect tncreior reasonable charges and expenses for such service: such corpoatlon has a right to Hen upon all the logs ror eucn cose anu expenses. Michigan. in ulrhlmn the tolls are fixed by the Board of Control of St. Mary's Ship Canal. Companies formed for the purpose of Im proving streams for logging purposes have the right or eminent. uuuui condcrhn rights of way the same as m panlmlarc permitted to do for the building of plank roads. The Board of Control has power to fix the tolls to be paid until the improvements are fully completed: when the Improvements are completed and accepted by the board, the rates of toll shall bo fixed by the Board of Control and may be graduated wltn reiercnce iu me. distance run upon the portion of saw stream Improved, and may be changed from time to time by sam Doaru; ara. shall not nt anr time be lncrcawd so that h fr.li sVi.-ilt nmount to more than L per cent a year upon the actual cost of Im provements, and tne Doara snau, m as practicable, fix the rates of toll so as not to exceed tne sum oi i'- 10CO feet on streams where 10.0iO.0Q0 or 1cps are run In any one year: 20 cents per 1000 feet on any stream where 30.000,000 or less are run In any one year; nor more than 13 cents per 1000 feet on any stream where 30,000,000 to 50.000,003 of feet are run In any one year: nor more than 10 cents per 1(00 feet on any stream where from 50.000.000 to KO.OOO.OOO feet are run In any one year: nor more than 5 cents per 1000 - , . ,v r.v iuv feet on any stream wncre irom w to 200COO.OO0 fe-et are .run In any one year. The' rates ot toll stated above arc charged In a comparatively level country where the coet of clearing a stream of obstructions is correspondingly light. WnshlnKton. Tn th State of Washington, a law per mitting the condemnation of rights of way on logging streams has existed for a num ber of years. Tne ngm eo ux me ric of tolls Is left to the corporations them- thi law Drescribing a maximum limit of $1 per 1000 feet for Hoaimg lao logo, and 60 cents per iwu teee tor Duom- ing them. This is a higher maximum nt than Is nrooosea in ejregon anu wc bill now pending in the Oregon benaie leaves the fixing of rates to tne i,oumy Courts subject to appeal to the' Circuit Court. Some Defect In Bill. tm- hill, which in Its general purpose appeals to every one as a measure which will advance the industrial Interests of the state, has met a very violent opposition, Mv nhieetlons to the bill have been re moved bv the amcnuments menuuneu iu ihh Bvnonsis irlven above. That a law providing for the Improvement of streams should be passed the most severe critics nf the. nresent bill are reaay to aamu. but they think the bill should be further amended. One chance, that Is suggested to tne mlml nf every nerson Is that the rules and regulations to be adopted by the company should be suDject to ene ap nrnvnt n f the County Court- No harm nralii result from such a requirement, and the provision would serve as a sateguara against unreasonable rules. Tho Villi nnnlles to all streams upon which the floating of logs niay be facili tated by Improvements. The word "facili tated" is very Indefinite, and would per mit control of a stream from which only n. fw sn.ics need be removed In order to "facilitate" floating logs, though It might be possible to float tho logs without the- improvement. If tne mil appuea oniy io streams upon which substantial Improve ments are necessary In order to make them available for floating logs, there would be less probability of streams being controlled when they are already In fairly good logging condition. As the bill now stands, it does not pre scribe how much of a stream the person or corporation must Improve. Different sections of a. stream might be Improved by different men. and each try to exact the full amount of toll. The bill should pro vide that only one toll shall be charged on a stream, and that If there are two Improvement companies operating on one stream, the toll shall bo apportioned De- tween them. The bill elves the Improvement company a franchise for 50 years. In the course of half a century many changes will take place, and the use of streams may be worth more for water-power than for Iocelnir Durooses. In a quarter of a ccn tury many streams will have passed their usefulness for logging purposes, tor tne reason that the logs will be gone. A re duction of the term of the franchise from 50 years to 25 years could not do the lm provement company Injustice, and might In the future be advantageous to tne manufacturing industries of Oregon. The subject of the rate of tolls Is much mooted. As stated above, the maximum rate In Washington is $1 for floating and 60 cents for booming, while the maximum toll proposed by this bill Is only 75 cents for both floating and booming. The com panies, as a rule, would find It most profit able to fix the rate at such a figure as would encourage business.' Improvements in mountain streams wear out and deter!. orate very rapidly, so that if a company were to get a profit on Its investment it would need to make a rate that would not be prohibitive Leaving the rate of toll to the County Courts, with a right of appeal to the Cir cuit Court, would seem to guard against excessive charges. The bill is designed to make It possible to bring to market logs for which there is now no means of transportation. The man who now has no market will probably not complain at any ordinary rate charged for placing his logs within reach of a mill. Nevertheless, the rates of toll are minor considerations. The lumbering comna nles are working for the passage of a bill which will enable them to improve stream even though a few owners of land along the stream may not be willing to make tarms. A bill with the same purpose, though not as well drawn as this, was passed by the last Legislature. It was declared Invalid because of a defective title. In addressing the Senate upon the merits of the bill two years ago. Senator Mulkey said that one reason why the lumbering industry has developed more rapidly In Washington than In Oregon is that Ore gon has been behind In legislation intend ed to encourage the logging .of Oregon timber. The Legislature now has before It the question whether this kind of legislation Is advisable, and whether this bill is in proper form. Even the friends of the bill admit that some changes should be made. It Is one ot the most Important measures that has been before this Legislature, and has been very thoroughly discussed by till who are Interested in Its provisions. GLAD TO GET l.TO JAIL.

(SpeclaU-Fran-clsco Costyas. a Spaniard, lies In the city Jail in Albany, charged with wilfully and maliciously throwing a heavy rock through the large plate-glass window of J. W.

Costyas, who is a well proportioned, strongly built man, was walking quietly up First street, when alongside the bank building he deliberately turned and with great force threw a rock about the size of a goose egg through the window and then leisurely continued his walk up the street. The police were Immediately no titled and a number of people followed the Spaniard. Costyas endeavored to cross the steel bridge, but was forced to turn back at the. tollgate. as he had no funds. He was captured at the depot by Chief of Police McClaln and taken to tho City Jail. The captured man was destitute of funda and had nothing but a Jackknlfe and a piece of soap on his person. All efforte to get Information from Costyas were fruitless, as he talked nothing but Span ish, until an Interpreter wao found. The prisoner then aald he came from San Diego, Cal.. to Portland, and had been un able to get work. Everywhere he had been turned down aa a tramp until In a fit of anger he cast the stone through the window.

Bose Pale Girls How many pale girls there are x Girls who have the will, but not the power to bring out their vitality. .Doctors call it anaemia, which means poor blood. They are thin, delicate and nervous. Their digestion is usually poor, the appetite not all that it should be and they do not even get all the nourishment that is in the food that they do eat They linger between strength and weakness with no cer tainty as to what change a day will bring forth. Scott's Emulsion is for all such girls. The hypophos phites combined with the cod liver oil will tone up the sys tem, give the blood new life, improve the appetite and help digestion. Above all it gives nourishment Girls are more liable, to anaemia than boys; this is because the blood of women contains fewer red corpuscles, more water and less albumen and salts thanthe blood of men. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the very thing to dis count these differences. It helps all pale, thin girls when nothing else will. Well send you a sample free upon request.
