PRESIDENT HAS THE POWER. Hanna Says an Extra Session Is Not Ifeceasary. CHICAGO, July 18. "I see nothing In the present situation in China to war rant a special session of Congress. The question Is one which affects the moral and patriotic sentiment of the public, and one which should not be dragged Into politics.

Several minor matters were referred to President Gompers, with power to act Tonight the members of the council addressed an eight-hour mass meeting at the Lyceum Theater. Bosslsm and Bosses. The Dalles Chronicle. The American system of politics has developed, or rather evolved, a class of creatures known as "bosses," and these wield a. most despotic sway those who attach themselves to either party for the personal and pecuniar ad vantages to be derived. TTtese cringing, subservient beings, upon whom the boss depends for success of his schemes, are time-servers in every regard, and would constitute the servile population in all countries. They would never have stood In the ranks at Runnymede to demand of King John and. If necessary, die for Magna Charta liberties; they would not have opposed the star chamber of Charles I, pr signed the Declaration of Inde pendence with the Revolutionary patriots. The work of bossism begins at the pri mary, for this Is the only pure democ racy that exists in our representative form of government and reformation should begin litre, in Oregon, as well as elsewhere. The Legislature next Winter should pass a primary election law, one that would Insure the choice of the in dividual voter controlling tho nominees of the county, district and state conven tions. This would free the people, in a measure, from the control of party bosses. CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN. Paclao & Idaho Northern Railroad to Be Pushed to CoanciL. WEISER, Idaho, July 10. P. P. Shelby, general manager of the Pacific & Idaho Northern Railway, returned today from an extended visit to Eastern cities, and he is enthused over the prospects for the West He states that the construction of the Pacific & Idaho Northern will be re sumed this Fall, and pushed through from Cambridge to Council before snow files. There has been no construction this Summer, because of the excessive cost of steel, but, now that this commodity Is lowering In value, the company will ac quire sufficient material to push the work the 25 miles indicated, at least; when It may be they will suspend operations un til a further reduction is effected, a thing believed to be on the cards at this time. The Pacific & Idaho Northern has been sold half a dozen times by as many pa pers, and yet such a thing Is not known by the owners and promoters of the en terprise, Mr. Shelby stating that It was absolutely without foundation. This road was promoted for the purpose of further ing the mining Interests of the Seven Devils section. In which Lewis A. Hall, the president of the road, has large inter ests. It was built from this city to Cam bridge last year, while the grading was done to Council, 35 miles further, and considerable on to Helena, 40 miles furth er still. Between Council and Helena, which is the town and postofflce for the celebrated Peacock mines, there was much discouragement- to the railroad builder, but the worst places have al ready been overcome, soveral tunnels having been driven, and way up, thou sands of feet above . the wagon road at Bear, 20 miles away, the grade of the road may be seen. This line from Coun cil to Helena was a gigantic undertaking, but it has been so fully done as to enable tracklaylng to begin almost at a mo ment's notice and continue without cessa tion, as the grading yet to be done is of a superficial nature. Until the road is" completed, the mines of that great sec tion will not advance as they ought, as there Is at present only the most primitive irtethod of transportation, and while tho wagon roads are of the very best char acter, the mountains are steep, the Win ters long, and the expense of getting ore out Is from 513 0 to $20 per ton. which Is a charge only the highest-grade ores can stand. There Is now an Immense tonnage of ore lying on the dumps waiting for cheap and rapid transportation, so that the road has a big business from the moment Its track is laid to the mines. There is. as well, a great timber belt to be taken care of by a railway, and this will Insure other large business even be fore the mines are reached, as the forests are below the altitude of the ore deposits. There seems no possibility but that the line will be pushed on soon, and contin ued, before this time next year. Into the heart of the Seven Devils. "This fact will have a reviving effect upon all the indus tries of this section, and especially mln lng. Asked regarding the feeling in the East toward the West especially Idaho, "Utah and Oregon, Colonel Shelby said that It was very favorable, and that there will be no trouble In securing capital for legit imate propositions of any nature, but that they have gone beyond the time when they will "bite" at any bait offered. Even legitimate propositions offered these people have a tendency to make the feel ing even more friendly, so that It should . be the aim of the whole people here to protect Investors at a distance. There Is a .great deal of money awaiting good In vestment and those people are disposed to put It into the West where they think are great possibilities, and, Indeed, West ern people generally are asked If they know a good place to put money and be safe. FIRES IN WHEATFIELDS. Already 1000 Acrea Ilave Been Burned In Washington. Walla Walla Statesman. Sparks from a traction engine on tho farm of John Sprcltzer in Spring Valley started a fire In his wheatfield which was not extinguished until over 000 acres had been destroyed. Wheat In one place had been threshed, and the outfit was being moved to another field. . when crossing a flat stretch of ground sparks from the engine dropped Into the straw, and al most before the men had time to attempt to check It, It had gained great headway and spread with remarkable rapidity. Mr. Spreltxer lost about 200 acres, Willis En gels the same amount and Dan McCosh um a large amount Mr. Spreltzers grain was Insured, but it is understood the balanco burned up was not Much of the grain on Mr. McCoshum's place had been cut and stacked, and all this was destroyed. His Spring wheat however, was saved. David Cox also lost about ISO acres of grain, and It Is reported that H. H. Hungate suffered to some extent from the fire. Straw Is unusually heavy and thick this year, and, being quite dry. It Is a difficult matter to extinguish a fire when once started. Up to date, there have been as many as 15 fires In different wheatflclds, causing an aggregate loss of 1000 acres of grain. Idaho' Good Outloolc. Lewlston Tribune. It is gratifying to know that above the clamor and noise of the -whole contention growing out of unprofitable party poli tics, tho skies of Idaho are bright and the signs of the heavens hopeful. The country Is prosperous In spite of the poli ticians, and the people are growing more tolerant in their differences of opinion, broader In their views, stronger In their purposes, and firmer In their patriotism. Considering the wonderful changes that have taken place In recent years. It need not be long before primaries, conven tions and elections will come to be car ried on along logical and wholesome lines, over measures rather than men, over principles rather than prejudices, over good government for all rather than spoils and honors for the few. For this needed and 'salutary change It ought to be the duty of every free soul to hope and to contend. Shorn of Their Locks. , Blackfoot News. Indian Agent Caldwell, or the Fort Hall Agency, recently made an order that all the Indian police. should be shorn of their locks. The majority proceeded to resign. Secretly they were of the opinion that the 'agent could not secure a sufficient number of desirable men for the force who would consent to cut their hair. However, the agent was fixed for Just such an emergency. Applications for the vacant places far exfeeeded the positions at his disposal. Under these distressing circumstances there developed a wild de sire on the part of those who had, a few moments previously, laid down the In dian policeman's burden, to again assume it The majority succeeded In securing their old places, though a few were not so fortunate.

An unpleasant differ ence among the members of the Society of Daughters of the American Revolu tion, now in Paris, Is made public to day through a letter from the Countess Spottlswood-Mackln, published In he ex position edition of the New York Times. In this letter the Countess withdraws the reception which she says was offered by her during the last annual convention of the society at Washington, to be given in Paris during the exposition. The I Countess said she renewed the invitatlor at the meeting of the New York Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revo" lutlon. Recently she asked Mrs. Daniel Manning if a date had been fixed for the reception, and was told the Invitation had never been accepted. Countess Spottls-wood-Mackln therefore prints the letter to Justify herself before the members, of the society.

The trial of Caleb Powers In the Goebel assassina tion case was resumed today. John A. Black, of Barbourvllle, a banker of that place and a Republican of prominence, was the first witness called. Witness said Powers had told him in January he was organizing an armed mob to go to Frankfort Witness dis couraged the project, but Powers In sisted that the mob should be formed, saying It would Intimidate the Legisla ture. Black, continuing, said: "I saw Mr. Powers later and again remonstrated against the formation of the mob which was going to Frankfort Pow ers told me it was being formed with the approval of Governor Taylor, Charles FInley and other Republican leaders at Frankfort Charles FInley also came to me and endeavored to get me to co operate with them. I protested bitterly. Powers became very angry with me on account of the position I took. I tried to persuade them to send good citizens, people of Influence, If any crowd was to be sent" A check from Charles FInley to the L. &N. Railroad for 51C00 for transporta tion of the men to Frankfort was pro duced by Mr. Black In response to a question from the prosecution. On cross-examination.

Powers said that when the men arrived at Frankfort they would, give the Legislators 30 minutes In which to settle the contests "and If they did not settle them In that time they would kill every d d one of them." Culton con tinued: "The mountain men arrived in Frank fort, January 25. They numbered from 1000 to 1200 men. Those who carried guns had them stacked In the office of the Commissioner of Agriculture, and each man was given a tag corresponding with the number on his gun. Captain Bullock, afterward connected with the Williams burg militia company, had charge of this party. After holding the meeting In the Statehouse yard, the bigger part of the crowd was sent home." Culton further said that Henry Youtsey came to him and told him he had found a way in which Goebel could be killed and no one find out who did It Youtsey said It could be done from the Secretary of State" s office, and he showed him some steel bullets. Witness told Youtsey such a thing should not be done. Ex-Governor Bradley was told what he had heard, that Goebel was to be killed, and said it must not be done. Witness says he saw Youtsey again, and the latter said the Idea had been abandoned. Culton said Powers distributed the money among the various Captains who were to bring the mountaineers to Frankfort Witness did not know who furnished. It Witness further said Governor Taylor furnished the money to bring the Jackson County crowd. He heard W. "R. Johnson, of Jackson County, talking about killing Goebel with nitroglycerin. FROM A CONSUL'S WIFE. Mr. Rasrsdale "Writes From Tien Tsln. SANTA ROSA, Cal., July IS. Letters have been received here from Mrs. J. W. Ragsdale. wife of tho United States Con sul at Tien Tsln, and from Mrs. Lucy Drummond. The letters are under date of June 14, and tell of critical condi tions existing there at that time. An other letter from Mrs. Drummond at Shanghai tells of her safe arrival there with her husband and children, and de scribes the hurried escape on June 16 from Tien Tsln on the last armored train that succeeded In leaving there. Neither of the letters contains any intimation as to the whereabouts of Consul Ragsdale and family, although it Is supposed they also left Tien TBln with the other Amer icans. Mrs. Ragsdale in her letter says: "All the mission churches In Tien Tsln (the Chinese City), two blocks from here, have been burned. They had been closed ever Blnce the trouble began, and were turned over to the Chinese officials. Tho Chinese official seal had been placed on the doors to show that they were under Chinese protection. It points to a bad state of things, and proves how power less they are to protect anything. "More than a week ago a guard went from here to meet and aid some Belgian refugees to reach" Tien Tsln. At several villages they were given tea and things to eat The Boxers burned every one of the villages and killed every man, woman and child they found, because they aided foreigners. "All Chinese from the highest to the lowest think Boxor a spirit that cannot be killed. That is the reason It Is so hard for the Chinese officials to put them "down. The soldiers will not fight them." COMING TO PORTLAND. Offices of Pacific States Telephone Company "Will Be Located Here. FVN FRANCISCO, July 18.

" ER Dr. Copeland's Earnest Advice to AH Chronic Invalids Is to Take Advantage of Favora ble Climatic Conditions for the Med ical Attention They Require Of the hundreds of cases of asthma, lung troubles, rheumatism and catarrhal diseases treated and cured at the Cope land Institute during the past seven years, under the inexpensive system now so popular with the community, statistics prove that the average time occupied In a cure, with patients beginning during the Summer months. Is from one-third to one-half less than with those beginning a course during the rigors of Winter, The aim of the Copeland physicians Is not only to cure the diseases that make so much of the gloom and sorrow of life; nor Is It their sole aim to bring relief to suffering at the lowest possible cost to the sufferer. Beyond this humane and most useful consummation. It has been Dr. Copeland's great ambition to cure dis ease In a far briefer period, of time than that usually considered necessary. There are maladies that It requires time to master. Asthma requires time. Seated lung troubles require time. Crippling rheumatism requires time. The rot and poison of catarrh requires time. According to Dr. Copeland'3 Idea, the Intelligence and the humanity exercised In delivering an Invalid from the agony and dejection of disease by a course of direct masterly and telling treatment, when climatic conditions may bo depended upon to aid nature and science. Is much shorter than when science unaided must brim? about the cure. Dr. Copeland feels that when human beings are to be lifted from the pit there should be expedition. His earnest advice to all who contemplate treatment at the Copeland Institute Is to begin now, while Summer lingers with her balms, and all the pleasant climatic influences strength en the efforts of science to make re covery not only certain, but expeditious!

Under tho Copeland treatment, however, the catarrh was radically cured and my health and strength restored. WARM COMMENDATION OF THE COPCLAND TREATMENT Mr. D. N. Bar-well, 300 Holladay avenue, Portland, a well-known postal railway clerk, Portland-Corvallis route: I had been in a very uncomfortable and more or less ailing condition from catarrh of the head and throat since childhood. The distressing and offensive feature of my disease. In spite of Almost Incessant Doctoring? And doping with remedies, was in tho stopped-up and stuffed-up condition of my nose and head, causing a constant drip of mucus from behind tho palate, and In tho Intolerable abemlnation of an everlast ing hawking and spitting to clear the throat, and clogging of the nostrils with scabs. Some years ago the poisons of the dis ease began to tell on my stomach. My stomach began to turn against food so that I could hardly eat at all without nausea and sickness afterward. I ran down In weight until I weighed only 135 pounds; my normal weight is 160, and be came Irritable and nervous. , My wife had been a sufferer from ca tarrh for years, and a little time ago read the testimonial of a lady whose symptoms seemed Just like hers. She called upon this lady, found the facta to be Just as stated, and immediately placed herself under treatment She Im proved so well that I became convinced the treatment would be Just the thing for me, and took It up. Now I feel as I have not felt In 10 years, well and active, and free from the symptoms that made life a burden to me for a lifetime. I have always had grave objections to making a public statement but I do not believe It Is possible to Commend the Copeland Treatment Too highly, and for the sake of those who are suffering and discouraged with aim less doctoring I feel It ray duty to make this statement Dr. Copeland's Book Fret io AIL and Washington H.
