ITEM Klnp, of Harney and Malheur, Al lowed $149.10 for Traveling Ex penses Bnl Marion Mem tiers Get Only 30 Cents. SALEM. Or., Feb. 1 6. (Special.) The per diem and mileage allowances of the members of the House for this session, as reported by the committee on salaries and mileage and adopted by the House today, aggregate $9;05.45. Hepresentatlves Merryman, Jones of Clackamas and Adams constitute the committee making the report. The Kreatest amount drawn by any one member will be by Representative King, of Harney and Malheur, who. In Rddltlon to his per diem of tl2(i, re ceives a mileage allowance of $149.10 for the 9!4 miles he travels between Ontario and Salem and return, or a total of 369.10. Representatives Xtodgers and Reynolds, of the Marion County delegation, receive the smallest mounts, each getting but $120 per diem and 30 cents mileage. When the report had been read. 'Wil son of Multnomah moved that the item of $15.90 for mileage, following his name, be amended to read $1.65. There was no second, and Speaker Davey suggested that the gentleman from Multnomah could adjust that matter witli the State Treasurer. "The mileage allowance of Repre sentative Simmons, of Marlon," re marked Settlemler, "is seven miles short." "I am perfectly satisfied." spoke up Simmons, "and will walk the additional seven miles." "The committee is also slightly in error In computing my mileage." re marked Carter of Benton, "but I will go along and keep Mr. Simmons com pany," When Speaker Davey's name had ben read and the announcement of SO cents, mileage allowance made, he said: "iThus again is the 'Salem Hog" made to look like 30 cents." The report as submitted was adopt ed without any changes and. strange to remark, there were no dissenting voices. It allows sums as follows: 1.. H. Adams, pr diem, $120; mileage. tl.VOu $135.90 '".

On the theory that It Is only necessary to at tach to a bill or a resolution a large .appropriation to insure its favorable con sideration at the hands of the Legisla ture, Representatives Purdy of Washing tlon and Simmons of Marion this morning invaded the burlesque as to legislation and Introduced in the House a joint resolution providing for the crea tion of a farmers' taxpayers commission. The resolution provides that the president r.t the Senate, the Speaker or the House and the Attorney-General shall appoint such a commission of seven members, consisting of Ave farmers, one grocery man and .a representative of the fed erated trades. Kach 'appointee is to receive an annual salary of $10.0no and all expenses of every iiituricUig,nr. The commission is authorized, -1 Mrs. Miller's New Residence, Earned In Leas Than One Year. Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned of a mild and simple preparation that cured herself and several friends of fe male weakness and piles. She was be sieged by so many women needing treat ment that she decided to furnish it to those who might call for It. She start ed with only a few dollars' capital, and the remedy, possessing true and wonder ful merit, producing many cures when doctors and other remedies failed, the demand grew so rapidly she was sev eral times compelled to seek larger quar ters. She now occupies one of the city's largest office buildings, which she owns, and almost one hundred clerks and sten ographers are required to assist in this great business. Million Women Use It. More than a million women have used Mrs. Miller's remedy, and no matter where you live, she can refer you to la dies in your own locality who can and will tell any sufferer that this marvelous remedy really cures women. Despite the fact that Mrs. Miller's business Is very extensive, she is always willing to give aid and advice to every suffering woman who writes to her. She is a generous, good woman and has decided to give away to women who have never used her medicine $10.0WM worth absolutely FRBH. Every, woman suffering with pains in Ihe head, hack and bowels, bearing-down feelings. nervousness. creeping sensa tions up the spine, melancholy, desire to cry, hot flashes, weariness, or piles from any cause, should sit right down and send her name and address to Mrs. Cora B. Miller Box 4047. Kokomo. lnd., and re ceive by mail (free of charge in plain wrapper) a oO-cent box of her marvelous medicine: also her valuable book, which every woman should have. Remember this offer will not last long, for thousands and thousands of women who are suffering will take advantage of this generous means of getting cured. So if you are ailing, do not suffer another day, but send your name and adress to Mrs. Miller for the book and medicine before the $10,000.00 worth is all gone; to appoint 1000 deputies, each of whom is to receive $3 per diem and all expenses. The commission is further authorized to appoint as special deputies 500 expert farmers who are to receive a per diem of $10 and expenses. The commisfilon is to have general charge and supervision of all of the agricultural lands, of the state and . if there are any funds left at the end of each year the same shall Je equally- dis tributed among the tillers of the soil. Advocate of such a commission did not wish to wait the statutory 90 days be fore the. resolution should become effec tive and attached to the resolution an emergency clause after making provision that the sum of $1,000,000. not otherwise appropriated, be made available for carry ing out the work of the commission. The resolution did not get far along the customary legislative route, not even being referred to the committee on resolu tions, of which Simmons is a member. After being read, the resolution went the usual route that might be taken by many other more pretentious measures without arousing any particular protest from a patient constituency. 'ortDERS IOG DAM REMOVED Centralia Farmers Win Suit Againut Lumber Company. CENTRAUA. Wash., Feb. 16. (Special.) Judgment has been rendered for the plaintiff in the case of Myron B. Durga et ux. against the Lincoln Creek Lumber Company. The Durgas live on Lincoln Creek a short distance above Its confluence with the Chehalis River. The lumber com pany has a mill at the mouth of the creek. In order to facilitate the floating of logs down the creek to the mill a dam had been built by the lumber- company near the mill. The Durgas alleged that on account of this dam the water was backed up onto their land, making drain age impo.siblej and seriously damaging crops every year. The case was tried in the Superior Court of Lewis County, at Chehalis, last December. Judge Mason Irwin, of Che halis County, heard tha case without a jury. He has just rendered his decision In the matter, ordering the dam removed and allowing the plaintiffs $150 damages. Killed by Falling Tree. KALAMA. Wash.. Feb. 16. (Special.) George Dray, foreman for the B. S. Howe logging camp, seven miles east of here, was Instantly killed at 3 o'clock this afternoon by a tree falling upon him. Dray was 28 years old and unmarried. He was- a son of A. C. Dray, a pioneer resident of this town. Neglected Colds In Children and Their Reaults. Colds are the special banes of child hood, and often lay the foundation for the more serious diseases of after life. One child catches cold and scares its mother into hysterics by having croup in the dead of the night. Another child catches cold and before it has fully recovered from it. takes an other eold, and perhaps before that Is over contracts a fresh one. This suc cession of colds, or even the neglect of a common cold, causes the InJlamma tion of the mucous membrane, which was at first acute, to become "chronic and the doctor will tell you that the child has chronic catarrh, from which it will never fully recover. Another child catches cold. Little at tention is paid to it. as the child has often had colds and always recovered from them, but In this instance a stubborn cough Is developed. The parents am tilled with forebodings. s are Still another child catches cold and could easily have been cured bv proper treatment, but being neglected, "develops the most fatal malady of childhood pneu monia. The doctor Is called and pro nounces it lung fever, and if the child is lucky enough to live it has developed weak lungs, making it susceptible to all lung diseases. livery one of these children could have been cured by the prompt use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. A few doses of it and the child's cold Is gone. It' counteracts any tendency of a eold to result in pneumonia, quickly dispelling all fear of that dangerous disease. It Is also a certain cure for croup and has never been known to fall. When given as soon as a croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. A medicine of such great worth and merit as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy should be kept in every house whers there are young children. Don't wait until the child is sick and then send to the drug store for it. but have it on hand xaady. far instant . us a when, needed. . NO GROG ON SUNDAY Saloons in Tacoma and Seat tle Closed Tight Today. FIRST TIME CITIES' HISTORY Cigar Dealers Will Shut Vp SliojJ and Police Chief May Close Theaters in Tacoma No Liquor in the Hotels. TACOMA. Wash.. Feb. 16.-(Special.) Tacoma will be closed tighter tomorrow than ver In the history of the city. The saloons will. It is believed, not attempt to open. Practically all of the cigar deal ers have announced their Intention of keeping their stores closed. Few, if any. merchants in other lines will risk a possi ble prosecution by attempting to do busi ness. The manager of a wholesale meat house, who asked if there would be any objec tion to the filling of his orders, was in formed today that no promises of im munity could be granted. The usual Sunday performances In thea ters are advertised, and Chiet Maloney, when asked if any of the theaters would be forced to close, said: "I don't know. If the Sunday closing law affects them I suppose they will be closed." The Donnelly Hotel' restaurant boxes will be torn Out and no liquors will be old at the tables or elsewhere tomorrow JAIL OFFENSE TO KEEP OPEN Mayor Moore Will Enforce Sunday Closing in Seattle. SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. IS. (Special.) Mayor Moore, acting through Chief of Police Wappenstein. tonight notified prop rietors that saloons must close at mid night and hereafter remain closed on Sunday. Violations of the order will be followed by imprisonment in the City Jail of offenders without bail. For the first time in Seattle's history Sunday saloon closing- Is to be enforced. The Ministerial Association, through a mass meeting when Mayor Moore was in augurated attempted to get his approval of Sunday closing, and he promised he would do so in time. Recently the Mayor and City Council clashed on the latter's grant ing licenses over his authority, and he announced then he would close the sa loons on Sunday. There are 277 saloons in the city. . . s TRAIN" EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT Salem Alderman Gets Warrant for Arrest of Railway Engineer. SALEM, Or., Feb. IS. fSpeoial.) Councilman F. G. Haas, of this city, todiy swore put a warrant of arrest l fiVt A fete ) i-M for the engineer of Southern Pacific train No. 1385 for running his train through the city limits at a higher rate of speed than is allowed by the city ordinance. Several days ago Sir. Haas notified J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Oregon 1 line at Portland, that the Southern Pacific was violating a city ord'nanee and requested that the law be complied with by the Southern Pa cific Company. No reply -was given to this request and last Thursday Mr. Haas telegraphed Mr. O'Brien, who ac knowledged the telegram, but did not compel his engineers to comply with the ordinance. - , The local train, which went through at 9 o'clock this morning, was run at the rate of 20 miles an hour. Section 22 of ordinance 203 limits the rate of speed to six miles an hour, and fixes the penalty for its violation at J100 for the first offense. The company re fused to give in the name of the engi neer, but the warrant has been served and the trial 'will probably occur in the Recorder's Court Monday. HAS TIME FOR BASEBALL JUDGE M CREDIE'S COUNT DU TIES ARE XOT REDUCED. Legislative Committee Leaves His District Untouched, While Revis ing All the Others in the State. OLYMPIA. "Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) In rearranging the Superior Court dis tricts today, the House and Senate joint Judiciary committee decided that if Judge Wr. W. McCredie had time to engage in baseball promotion it is not necessary to relieve his district In the proposed bill, so the committee's new bill leaves Judge McCredie as the only Superior Court in the state comprising four counties. This sub-committee consisted of Sena tors Graves and Hutson and Representa tives Reid. Beebe x and Godman. The committee agreed to provide for three new Judges to be appointed at once by the Governor, and for an additional Judge to be elected at the next general election. At present the 37 counties of the state are divided into 19 Judicial dis tricts, with 28 Judges. The bill gives Whatcom County an addi tional Judge, making two there: Klttitan and Yakima Counties, now combined with Franklin and Benton, are cut off and given one Judge. A new district, consist ing of Benton. Franklin and 'Adams, is created. Adams County is now combined with Lincoln, which latter county will be left as a. single district. Ferry Coun ty, now in with Okanogan, Douglas and Chelan, is attached to Stevens County. Douglas. Okanogan and Chelan are to remain together until January 1st. 1909. In 1908. a Judge Is to be elected for Douglas, and after he takes office Chelan and Okanogan "will form a separate dis trict. The bill also gives an additional Superior Judge immediately" to Spokane County, which now has three judges. Sno homish County's demand for an addi tional judge was turned down. As this bill gives Spokane one more judge than Pierce now has, the Tacoma legislators may oppose :t. In any event, the bill wili not get through without fights in both Houses. kiser rnoxo to. ficenio Photos Lobby. Inujerial Ho Lei. S FAGES JURY Man Held for Murder Laughs Heartily in Court. NOT WORRIED AT HIS FATE State Outlines Its Case Mother of Murdered Man Takes Stand De fense Makea Denial, but Refuses to Show Hand, WALLACK, Idaho. Feb. Today Steve Adams is facing the completed Jury which will decide -whether he is guilty or innocent of the murder of Fred Tyler, the timber settler. The State has about U witnesses to present evidence, while the defense is known to have at least 22. Whom some of the latter will be Is not known, the defense having demanded the privilege of summoning a number without disclosing their names to the State. Tha prosecution's witnesses will present main ly circumstantial evidence, backed by Adams' alleged confession of the murder. While the defense has refused to out line its case further than to make gener al denial, it is expected to resist the In troduction of his confession with all Its power on the ground that Sheriff Suther land used Improper means to obtain it and that if Adams made any confession to Detective .McParland It was made under duress and was untrue. Adams, the prisoner, sits in court with his wife by his side day after day, listen ing closely to the arguments, now and then conferring with his attorneys, but apparently not worried about his fate. Confinement In jail does not seem to have affected him, and he is in a mood to laugh heartily when anything "amusing occurs In Court. Even should the verdict go against him, it Is assumed the fight would be only be gun, as the defense Is already shaping Its grounds in which to appeal or demand a new trial. One of the notable exceptions already taken Is to Judge Woods' ruling that a member of the Western Federation of Miners could be excluded from the jury on challenge for cause. The defense con tended that it would be as reasonable to exclude a man because he was an Elk. The state outlined its theory of the murder of Fred Tyler at this morning's session of court. Attorney Knight, for the state, told how Tyler went into the new country near the St. Joseph River in the 9pring of 1904 and took up a tim ber claim; how etrife for the timber lands had arisen among the settlers, some of- whom had banded themselves together to gain certain ends; how at least one settler had been -warned to get out of the country. About August 10. the state alleges. Tyler went fishing, and. on his way home, stopped at the home of a neighbor named Phillips: after supper ha started to hi cabin and was never seen again until his body was found in' the timber by, surveyors, a bullet-hole in 1 BEN SELLING Announces advance showing of MEN'S TOPCOATS MEN'S SPRING SUITS MISSES' TAILOR-MADE COATS and DRESSES BREWER HATS The Best $3 Hat in the World BEN LEADING the back of his skull showing the cause of death. The state proposed to show that Adams was in that region until a few days after the homicide, and to introduce evidence of a confession secured from Adams on different occasions without the use of force. This confession states that on his way from Phillips' honee Tyler met Adams and two other armed men: that they took him to a cabin and kept him there over night, urging him to leave the country: that in the morning he was given no breakfast, but -was taken to the top of a hill and told to walk on ahead, and as he walked away Adams raised his Title and shot him dead. Mrs. Thomas, mother of the murdered man, waa called as the firet witness. She is expected to testify as to his taking up the claim and aa to the identification of his body. Killed While Walking on Track. SHATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 16. J. T. Da vie, a farmer residing at O'Brien, was truck and instantly killed wnile walk ing on the Northern Pacific Railroad tracks at noon today, a short distance from the O'Brien depot. MANY OPPOSE NEW COUNTY ABERDEEN IS Br XO MEANS UNITED OS THE SCHEME. Division or Chehalis Would Entail Big Expense I Argument Put Forth by Opposition. ABERDEEN", Wash., Feb. (Spe cial.) Aberdeen would be as likely a place to breed the Cuban revolutionary spirit as anywhere In the United States. Hardly had it recovered from a long fight , over the proposition to remove the county seat from Montesano .to Qray'a Harbor, in which it was defeat ed, than the people are again sttrred up over a plan to divide the county. This turmoil Is created largely by local politicians with seemingly no interest except to keep the people In a constant state of turmoil. An outsider wouid be led to believe that there Is no opposition to the scheme, from the fact that the Chehalis County legislative contingent is unani mous on the question, that little or nothing Is said against division by the newspapers, and that division was the only sentiment at the recent banquet given the Governor and members of the Legislature. . But the fact la that there Is a great deal of opposition, and it is best repre sented by such nfen as ex-Mayor West E. F. Jones, Banker Miller. A. L. Coats and many others, all very prominent In business circles. The taxpayers largely have been kept in ignorance of the matter, be cause of the absence of a campaign of education, but there Is a growing be lief that a division of the county at this time cannot be fraught with anything except very large expense to the property-owners. Division, according to F. K. Jones, a safe and conservative man, means an expensive new Courthouse and the transcribing of over UA books of county records at a cost which can not be calculated, but at. the least more than toO.000. .Those .who are shouting division, ac SELLINC CLOTHIER cording to IV.fr .Tone are fnllnwlnr blindly the lead, he says, of politicians who seek only their own gain. Among others, there is a desire to have Aber deen the county seat of a new county, if they cannot get it removed from Montesano. After the bill Is passed there will be a necessary majority of signers of voters favoring the proposi tion, and between the probable passage of the bill and the signing of names, it Is possible that a big- effort will be-' made to enlighten the people very ma terially as to -whether division or non dlvlsion is best for the interests of the entire people of the county and par ticularly of Gray's Harbor.
