MILITARY REORGANIZATION.
Bill Passed by House "Will Be Signed
by Governor.
.OLYMPIA, March 13. Senate bill 174,
ty Crow of Spokane, providing for a re
organization of the National Guard of
he state in accordance with the Ideas
of Adjutant-General Drain, has been
passed by the House. Rawson of King,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, which had charge of the meas
ure, and which was divided In Its recom
mendations, attempted to secure the
adoption of a number of Important
amendments. All of them failed. One
of the most important offered by him pro
vided that the present number of com
panies should not be decreased by the
Governor. Another amendment was to
6a;e the brigade organization, which was
abolished by the terms of the bill. The
bill has already passed the Senate, and
will undobtedly be signed by the Gov
ernor. 92C.000 APPROPRIATED.
By Senate for Pan-American Expo
sition. bLYMPLV, March 13. The Senate to
day passed the House bill which appro
priates $25,000 for a state exhibit at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. The
bill provides for the appointment of a
commission of 11 by the Governor, two
of whom shall be Senators and three
Representatives, to serve without com
pensation other than their actual ex
penses. They are authorized to appoint
an executive commissioner, at a salary
of $150 per month.
XS THE HOUSE.
Bills Provlilnp for Sale of State Oys
ter Lands Defeated.
OLYMPIA. March 13. The oyster fight
raged bitterly In the House this morn
ing again. Testerday the House decided
to take froti the table House bill 459
and House hi" 114C0 by the committees on
fisheries, and the sifting committee last
night gave them first place on the cal
endar of today. This morning the bills
were indefinitely postponed, and their
friends will make no further effort to
have them reconsidered at this session.
The bills provided for the sale of state
oyster lands for $10 an acre, and created
an oyster laid commission, composed of
the State Fish Commissioner and State
Land Commissioner, to dispose of them.
"When the billB were taken up this morn
ing they created the usual stir in the
House. Falknor of Thurston charged
that they shsuld be labeled a gigantic
graft. They provided, he said, for the
absolute destruction of the oyster re
serves of the state. Even if the state
were disposed to sell them, it should at
least get the best possible price for them,
and not a flat rate of $10 per acre.
Merrltt said he believed that Falknor
was wrong in his statement that there
was a steal behind the bills. Such a thing
could not be accomplished without the
aid of the State Land Commissioner and
the State Fish Commissioner.
Don't .you know," yelled Gunderson,
"that the Land Commissioner is opposed
to these bills?'
"No, I don't." yelled Merrltt.
"Well, he is," retorted Gunderson.
Bishop spoke in support of the bllte
Baying that the people of Mason and
Thurston Counties -were violent In their
opposition to the measures because they
desired to continue their present monop
oly of the oyster, business in the state,
and further to deplete the oyster beds
without compensating the state for so
doing.
Falknor repeated his declaration that
to. pass the bill would be a robbery.
Lewis of King favored the passage of
the bills in an amended form. He was
satisfied that if properly amended they
would be very meritorious measures and
worthy to become laws.
Burch ofrKing took a similar position.
The motion to indefinitely postpone car
ried. The House this morning passed House
bill SG.t by Easterday. providing that
county. money shall be deposited with
banks which will pay the county the high
est rate of Interest, the banks in which
such money is deposited to give the coun
ties a bond signed by a surety company
of financial standing. When the bill was
first placed on final passage, it was lost
oy one vote. A reconsideration was se
cured, and the measure then received the
constitutional majority.
The House continues to pass public road
bills which stand no chance of getting
through the Senate. This morning House
bill 453, by Johnson, appropriating $2500
for the repair of the public wagon road
from San Poll Creek, on the Columbia
River, to Republic, a distance of 61 miles,
was passed. It is claimed for the bill
that it connects with the north and south
half of the Colvllle reservation, and will
enable miners and merchants to trans
act an enormous business at a small cost.
The measure provides that the County
Commissioners of Ferry County shall
have charge kf the work.
An important bill passed at the after
noon session "was Senate bill 69. by War
burton, to regulate the practice of bar
berlng in Incorporated cities and towns,
and providing for licensing barbers and
the appointment of a commission of three
by the Governor.
Other Important measures passed were

Two Oregon students have won places on tho Stanford Intercollegiate debating team of three members, who will contest with the Uni
versity of California William Carr Morrow, of Portland, and' William A. Morris, of Salem. This honor Is considered one of the hlghist
which any student can attain In his college career. Both are members ot the senior clasa. Carr Morrow Is well known In Portland, hav
ing served as a Corporal In Company H, of the Second Oregon Volunteers. He Is a popular man In his class, a member of the Chi Pal
fraternity, founded by Oregonlans, and has ihe honor of being the first fraternity man to represent Stanford aince 1696.

nent student, and holds the office of vlce-preaident of the student body.
The two Oregon debaters won their places In competition with six other men, both speaking on the negative of the question, "Relved,
That the extinction of the Boer Republic Is for the permanent Interest of civilization." which will also be debated In the lntercolleglato

IN THE SENATE.
Bill Succeeded for Regulation of
Contracts of Life Insurance.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. March 13. The Sen
ate began Its business this morning with
a calendar which showed that President
McBride .and his sifting committee had
been slaughtering bills last night. There
was a noticeable absence of bills on the
calendar that carried appropriations with
them, road bills being conspicuously miss.
Ing. The only appropriation bill placed
on the calendar was the Pan-American
exposition bill, which was given 13th
place.
The first bill to pass this morning was
Senate bill S5. by Warburton, an act reg
ulating contracts of life Insurance. There
are two important provisions in this bill.
The first one provides that after the pay
ment of three full annual payments, the
Insured shall have the benefit of five
sixths of the reserve to be used as a
paid-up or extended insurance. This is
to be done automatically, without the
surrender on the part of the Insured of
the policy. The other Important provis
ion is section 5 of the act, which provides
that In case of deferred dividends, the
company shall at the end of each year set
aside and apportion to the policy the divi
dends for that year, and upon request of
the policy-holder shall state to him the
amount of his dividends and accumula
tions. This Is the feature that the large
insurance companies of New York have
particular objection to, because most of
their policies are for 20 years, and under
their contract they are not required at any
time to give the Insured any Information
as to what his dividends may be.
The Senate passed a House bill by Mer
rill of Whatcom, providing that railway
companies shall weigh lumber and shin
gles at the point of shipment, and that
this weight Is to be accepted as final.
Preston created a laugh by remarking:
"In honor of the fact that this Senate
has at last passed a railroad bill, I move
that the rules be suspended, and the bill
be sent back to the House." It was so
ordered.
The Senate passed the following other
bills:
House bill 112, by Slme Relating to the
clearing out of rivers and streams.
House bill 369, by Sims cn act to reg
ulate the practice of dentistry, and re
quiring license and registration of den
tists. House bill 15, by Buck Providing for
establishment of private fish hatcheries.
House bill 103, by Judiciary committee
Allowing $10 per week for laborers' ex
emption from garnishment.
House bill 103, by Falknor Providing for
exemption of personal property from tax
ation to the amount of $300, in pursuance
of constitutional amendment adopted by
voters at last election.
House bill 24S, by insurance committee
To regulate marine Insurance.
House bill 33S. by Falrchild Providing
that no person shall vote who cannot
read and write the English language.
House bill 341. by Earles Extending the
right of eminent domain to water-power
companies.

the classification of counties.
House bill 447, by Allen Authorizing
conveyance of certain tide lands.
House bill 457, by Allen Relating to
wharves.
ELK CREEK RESERVE.
Water "Supply of Baker City Will Be
Protected.
WASHINGTON, March 13. If Forest Su
perintendent Ormsby, of Salem, makes a
favorable report on the application of the
Mayor and Council of Baker City for cre
ation of a small forest reserve embracing
21 sections, near the headwaters of Elk
Cree from which the city gets Its water
supply, the Commissioner of the General
Land Office will order the withdrawal nf
these lands from further entry, and will
recommend the establishment of the re
serve. From Information now on flic, and
upon the recommendation of Representa
tive Moody, the Commissioner has or
dered an Immediate investigation, and
thlnks favorable action may in a short
time be had. Whether or not the reserve
can be established will depend almost
entirely upon whether or not the land In
question Is more valuable for Its timber
or for agriculture. The department Is in
clined to establish small reserves of this
character, where they will afford protec
tion to a city's water supply.
BRASS THIEF ARRESTED.
Part of Property Still in His Pos
session Belongs to O. R, &. N.
THE DALLES, Or.t March 13. Isaac
Moore was arrested here last night by
Marshal Driver while in the act of selling
a quantity of brass castings, said to have
been stolen from the O. R. & N. Co.
Moore, who had been an employe of the
company until the last 10 days, was sus-
pected of the theft and watched. The
result was his apprehension while he still
had in his possession part of the stolen
property, which In all amounts to 1617
pounds of brass. He will be arraigned
In the Recorder'3 Court tomorrow. About
20 years ago Moore was tried and ac
quitted here for killing his brother-in-law,
Thurston Boynton, on the latter's ranch
near Sherars bridge.
A contract for lighting the city was
let today to E. Kurtz and associates.
Fulfillment is to be effected within 90 days
from the date of acceptance. This con
tract will relieve The Dalles from five
years of darkness due to controversies of
the City Council and the local electric
light company.
M'HARGUE AGAIN.
Denies Jurisdiction of State Board
In His Case.
SALEM, Or., March 13. U. S. McHar
gue, the Washington County schoolmas
ter who was some time ago found guilty
by the State Board of Education of un
professional conduct, today applied to the
board to have the' matter expunged from,
the records of the board. McHargue's
offense was that of kissing his girl pu
pils. At the time the board found him guilty
his certificate had expired, and he was
teaching by authority of a permit, henco
the board could not cancel his certificate
and had no power to Impose any other
punishment. He now claims that since
his certificate had expired the board had
no Jurisdiction to find him guilty.
If McHargue's claim is sustained, it
would seem that almost any teacher
charged with unprofessional conduct may
save himself by delaying his trial until
his certificate has expired, thus secur
ing a dismissal of the charge.
MOVED A FENCE.
And for the Act Two Farmers Were
Fined.
SALEM, Or., March 13. W. E. Kellogg,
Grant Kellogg and Mason Kellogg, three
farmers residing south of Salem, recent
ly undertook arbitrarily to fix the bound
ary line between their farm and that of
J. F. Duncan. They moved the fence to
suit themselves, and today were found
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined $15
each and costs, amounting nearly to $50.
They paid the $45 fine, and as they have
property, the costs can also be collected.
Elmer E. Harrltt, a well-known farmer
residing north of Salem, in Polk County,
Is dangerously 111 with pneumonia, and Is
not expected to recover.
It is reported that W. H. Savage, of
this city, has been elected superintend
ent of the agricultural exhibit In Or
egon's display at Buffalo. He has been
superintendent of the state fair pavilion
for many years, and is in every way a
competent man.
Members of Sifting Committee.
OLYMPIA, March 13. The Columbia
River section was given ample recogni
tion on the appointment of the sifting I
committees In both houses. In the Sen
ate Mr. Megler, of Wahkiakum, was ap
pointed. He is a veteran member of the
Senate. In the House, Representative
Starr, of Wahkiakum, and Representa
tive Nesbitt, of Klickitat, were appointed.
Messrs. Starr and Nesbltt are new mem
bers, but they have made their influence
sufficiently felt to get places on the most
important committee, which absolutely
controls all legislation during the closing
days of the session.
President's Visit.
WASHINGTON, March 13. Senators
Foster and Turner and Representatives
Jones and Cushman, of Washington, left
with the President today the resolution of
the Legislature of Washington inviting
the "President to visit that state on his
Western tour. The President said that
he had made up his Itinerary, but would
further consider the places In Washing
ton that he would visit. It Is hoped by
the Washington people that the President
will make stops at the principal cities
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and North Yakima.
RIO GRANDES MAY UNITE
PRESIDENT ISSUES A STATEMENT
OF THEIR RELATIONS.
Will Take Months to Conclude Ne
gotiations That Have Been En
tered Upon No Great Change.
SALT LAKE, March 13. The Tribune
tomorrow will print the following state
ment, made by General W. J. Palmer,
president of the Rio Grande Western
Railway, before leaving for the East to
day: "As Is well known, the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Rio Grande Western
were originally, In 1SS1, one In interest.
This was broken several years later by
the action of the management of the
Denver & Rio Grande Company. Recent
negotiations have had for thels sole ob-
ject the bringing of these two lines to
gether again. These negotiations have
been solely between the Rio Grande West
ern and the Denver & Rio Grande. The
Union Pacific, or the so-called Harrl
man syndicate, has had nothing to' do
with them, and, so far as I know, has no
Interest In the results, unless they expect
there may be a greater stability of rates
as a consequence of the creation of larger
systems.
"Following the negotiations between the
Rio Grande Western and the Denver &
Rio Grande, George Gould, or the Mis
souri Pacific, Is understood to have ac
quired a large Interest In the shares of
the Denver & Rio Grande.
"The result of the negotiations be
tween the Rio Grande Western and Den
ver & Rio Grande Is not likely to be de
termined for two or three months. Should
they be successfully terminated. I see
nothing In the logic of the situation to
change the status at Salt Lake or Og
den or to Injuriously affect the Interests
of anybody In Utah. The Denver & Rio
Grande Is already enjoying nearly 80 per
cent of the freight traffic and perhaps
90 per cent of the passenger business go
ing from and to the Rio Grande Western,
so it Is also evident that the present
relations at Grand Junction could not be
very seriously affected were the Rio
Grande Western and Denver & Rio
Grande to become one line."
BURLINGTON AND UNION PACIFIC.
Closer Relations Said to Be Insured
hy Recent Purchases.
NEW YORK, March 13. The Mall and
Express today prints the following:
"It was learned today from an authori
tative source that the large blocks of
Chicago. Burlington & Qulncy stock which
haire been bought in the open market
during the last three or four weeks, caus
ing a Jump of 10 points In the price, were
taken for the Union Pacific, and within
a very short time this will be followed
by the election of -several Unlora Pacific
men to the board of directors of the Bur
lington Company.
"The closer relations which will follow
between the Union Pacific and Burling
ton are only less Important than the pur
chase of tho Southern Pacific by the
Union Pacific The Burlington was the
company which was most to be feared by
the Union Pacific in transcontinental ter
ritory, the Burlington reaching well out
Into Wyoming and Colorado, and threaten
ing to build an Independent line of Its
own to the Pacific Coast. Such a road
would necessarily parallel the Union Pa
cific to a great degree, and there is rea
son to believe that the Burlington people
were lending aid to some of the recently
incorporated companies notably that pro
moted by Senator W. A. Clark, from Salt
Lake City to Los Angeles.
"The Union Pacific win not have a con
trolling Interest In the Burlington, as the
purchases of Burlington stock bo far ag-
WHY SO MANY FAIL.
The Ileason So Many Catarrh Rem
edies Are Unsuccessful.
There are few troubles, for which there
are so many remedies and so-called
cures as for catarrh, and It may be
added there are few diseases so difficult
to really and permanently cure.
Inhalers, sprays, powders and douches
are all applied locally and give temporary
relief, often for only a few hours, and It
Is doubtful If anything like a real cure of
catarrh was ever accomplished by the use
of local applications.
Catarrh Is a constitutional disease it is
in the blood like rheumatism and to cure
it requires an Internal medicine to act
upon the blood, to drive out the catarrhal
poison from the system entirely and any
one can readily see that a 6alve or pow
der or Inhaler which simply clears off
the mucous membrane of the nose and
throat can have no effect on the real
cause of catarrhal disease.
The remarkable success of the new
catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
Is because It drives out of the system
through the natural channels, the catar
rhal poison, the germs of grip, bronchitis
and consumption and causes the hawking,
spitting and ga'gging because the exces
sive secretion is no longer supplied when
the blood Is made healthy from the reg
ular use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
The remedy Is in form of large 20 grain
lozenges, pleasant and. palatable, com
posed only of wholesome antiseptics and
so safe to use that little children use them
with perfect safety and benefit If the
little one Is suffering from colds, croup
or cough from any cause.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have been on
the market scarcely one year, yet they
have met with such popularity and suc
cess that druggists everywhere In United
States and Canada now have them in
stock and report a constantly increasing
demand for them.
Don't Hua
the Stove.
If you do, you will take
cold the next time you are
out in a storm. Then
what would you do ? Dose yourself with a p
lot of home remedies and dilly-dally along ft
until your cougn
were threatened with pneumonia or consump- p
tion ? That s one way, to be sure.
Here's another way: Take Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral at bedtime and be all right the next
morning.
For sixty years it has been the standard
family medicine for breaking up colds and
stopping all kinds of coughs.
"I always keep AVer's Cherry Pectoral on hand. It is a most wonderful remedy for the children." When
they take cold, cough at nighty or have the croup it always gives them immediate relief. I haven't been without
it in the house for over nine years." Mrs. Sophia Krietzr, Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. a6, 1S99.

REACHING FOR SEVEX DEVILS.
Cars Run Over Railroad Bettveen
"Weiser and Council.
BAKER CITY, March 13. Word Is re
ceived here that the first cars have been
run on the railroad line reaching for the
Seven Devils district from Idaho. The
terminus of this road now is Council,
which Is within 35 miles of the Seven
Devils. Ore shipped out of the district
will go In that direction, as the 35-mile
haul, although rough. Is much better
than coming In this direction. If this
railroad is permitted to be the sole line
entering the Seven Devils. Eastern Ore
gon will lose the benefit of all this trade,
as the Idaho terminus Is beyond the
reach of Baker or other Eastern Oregon
towns. If the Northwest railroad should
be completed down the Snake, Hunting
ton would become the distributing point
for the territory tapped, and if the Pow
der River line shall be completed. Baker
City will fall heir to the same advantages.
With the death ot Colonel Hart, who Is
promoting the line from Welser to the
Seven Devils, it is believed that nothing
further would be done towards complet
ing that road. If the road to Council Is
pushed much farther towards the Seven
Devils, a formidable competitor to the
proposed Oregon line will be established.

Bnrllngrton Yields Its Claim.
CHICAGO. March 13. After months of
protest, the Burlington officials have de
cided to bow to the Government's refusal
to pay the company's arbitrary rate on
business over the bridge at Qulncy, 111.
The Controller of the Currency refused
to pay the rate last July, and the rail
road's claim against the Government on
this account up to today, when the claims
were abolished, are roughly approximated
at $150,000.
Canadian Pnclflc May Build.
VICTORIA, B. a, March 13. Railway
matters occupied a place of prominence
this morning about the legislative build
ings. Interest was excited early In tho
forenoon by a rumor, believed to be au
thentic, that the Canadian Pacific Rail
road had made an offer to the executive
to construct the Coast-Kootenal road
without any subsidy. It Is felt that this
would make matters serious for rival
roads If the big railway would agree to
carry this out within a specified time.
