TO RESTRAIN COMMISSION
WASHINGTON CAPITOL BOARD THE
OBJECT OP A SUIT.
Brought by Attorney-General to
Settle Question as to Time Act
Becomes Operative.
OL.TMPIA, "Wash., March 29. Attorney
General Stratton, on behalf of the state,
"today began an action In the Superior
Court of Thurston County against the
State Capitol Commission to restrain
the commission from proceeding .further
under the Kuth act, as the act in qffes"
tion carries no emergency clause. The
contention of the Attorney-General is that
the bill does not go in effect until SO
days after Its approval by the Governor.
The Superior Court denied the writ, and
the action -was at once appealed to the
Supreme Court and argued. An early de
cision is expected. Should the writ be
granted by the Supreme Court, ft would
greatly handicap the efforts of the com
mission to secure an early completion of
the Capitol building;
The contention of the Governor and the
Capitol Commission Trill undoubtedly be
that the bill providing for the purchase
of the Courthouse by reason of Its carry
ing an appropriation, became operative as
soon as approved by the Governor. There
Is a clause in the state constitution which
provides that appropriations become avail
able as soon as approved by the Gov
ernor; and that no emergency clause is
necessary in the appropriation bill.
While admitting this provision of the
constitution, it will be contended, on the
other hand, that, inasmuch as the bill
provided oher things aside from the ap
propriation, and was not a simple ap
propriatlon bill, it cannot become a ln.vf
until 90 days have expired. There was
considerable discussion of this matter at
the time the Kuth bill passed, but Gov
ernor Rogers and the commission took
the view that the bill became operative at
once.
Governor Rogers, who is the originator
of the Courthouse proposition, is desirous
of seeing the completion of the new wing
to the building pushed to a speedy con
clusion, and it is feared that a wait of
90 days might delay completion until after
the next Legislature meets. It has beetl
the desire of the friends of the Capitol
to have It completed in time for occu
pancy by the next Legislature.
PliANS FOR CAPITOL.
Capitol Commission Ordered asd
"Will Probably adopt Them.
OLTMPIA, March 29. Architect W. A.
Ritchie, of Spokane, who, it seems to be
understood, will be the architect for the
new st-ate capltol, at the request of the
Capitol- Commission, -has submitted pre
liminary plans of the proposed building
to Governor Rogers. It Js probable that
the plans as outlined by Mr. Ritchie will
be adopted at the meeting of the com
mission Tuesday.
The addition to "be made to the Thurs
ton County Courthouse will be of the same
-height and general outline as the pres
ent building, and built o& the -same or
similar material, but will cover much
more territory. The ground space of the
courthouse is 73x132 feet, while the ad
dition will be S0x200 feet, and win, there
fore, project north and south oVer the
present building 34 feet at either end. The
dissimilarity in length will not Interfere
with the beauty of the structure, as the
architect has provided means whereby the
harmony of the structure win be pre
served. The width of the addition will
be seven feet greater than the original
structure, and when completed the outer
walls of the addition will be located ex
actly 25 feet from Sixth, Franklin and
Seventh street
-On ihd first floor of the Ttillding will
be the offices of the administration otOr-
Irrla jttvn tVroTr "will Vinira nn 'nhimilnrirA
TOOm.
ie second floor will be given over to the
jpreme' Court. ths legislative halls and
ie state library. The house of represen
tatives wilF be located in the south end
of the building, and the Senate in the
north end. Each hall will extend from
the second floor to the roof, and will
be lighted by a round skylight 20 feet in
diameter. Both House and Senate will
be built on lines similar to the National
House and Senate. The dimensions of the
House will be 42x61 feet, this not to in
clude the space allowed for a gallery.
The Senate will be 36x51 feet. The gallery
of this chamber will be built on similar
lines to the House' gallery. Each gallery
will seat 300 people, and will be provided
-with raised seats, so that visitors may
view the proceedings on the floor. Be
tween the two chambers will be a ro
tunda 50 feet square, extending from the
second floor to the roof, the rotunda to be
surmounted by a. dome and large skylight.
The two wings of the building will be
connected by the main- corridor, 23 feet
wide, and there will be an air and light
court 25 feet wide, separating the struc
tures except at the connection referred
to. A grand staircase will connect the
ba?ement with the top floor, arid an ele
vator will be put In at a point about
where the stairs now lead from the land
ing below the first floor to the basement.
An eleva'tor will be" provided for the use
of the legislative halls. The basement
will be given over to the heating and
light plant and probably space allpwed the
Adjutant-General for an arsenal.
This is but an outline of what the new
, building will be, as Mr. Ritchie has not
pfbeeded far enough with his plans to
give the many details Involved. When the
capltol Is completed on the plans as now
laid out it will be a magnificent structure,
net a little of Its beauty being due to the
pretty green spot fronting it, Sylvester
Park, now owned by the City of Olympla,
but which will be deeded to the state.
Mr. Ritchie says that there will be no
-difficulty in finishing the building In time
for the session of 193 provided the work
of construction Is begun In 60 days. The
transfer of the property to the state
cannot be made legally before May 15",
but, with that out of the way, the work
should progress rapidly.
ordinary encampment Is not a vacation
by any means, for every member of the
militia finds plenty of hard work and drill
in store for him. But forced marches,
making and breaking camp, and the prep
aration of meals in regular campaign
"stlye, would all give the mlHtia boys as
much as the majority of them could stand
in the shape of hard work.
From the standpoint of military train
ing, the field campaign would not be as
valuable to the privates in the ranks as
to the officers, for the success or defeat
of their commands would depend upon
the skill they employed in plannlg their
movements. The officers would be com
pelled to resort to all sorts of strategy
in order to gain a point, and the prac
tice thus acquired would give them an un
derstanding .of military tactics which
could not be learned in any other way.
The greatest drawback in a campaign
of this kind would be that farmers along
the line of maTch. would probably load
their guns with cartridges not very blank
and defend their chicken roosts in a man
ner that could not be mistaken for a
sham. The campaign might develop some
embryo war correspondents and furnish
material of that kind to make Oregon fa
mous In some future wr between na
tions. As Oregon roads get dry and dusty in
the Summer, the encampment will proba
bly be held early or late, so as to avoid
the most "heated season. If it should be
held early, the preparations will soon be
gin, and the various companies should
build up their membership and drill them
selves in the company worky so as to
make as g6od a showing as possible in
the Brigade review at the encampment.
Inspection of Salem MHItfca.
Colonel Toran, of the Fourth Regiment,
O. N. G., tonight conducted the quarterly
inspection of Company F, of this city.
The company numbers 54" members, and
great Interest is manifested In the drills
in military tactics. New members are
being enlisted, and It Is hoped to make
the company one of the beat in the regi
ment when the annual encampment shall
be held.
LUMBER PRICE ADVANCED.
Action Taken Tb-jt Directors of Manu
facturers' Asslclatlon.
TACOMA, Wash.. March 30. A meeting
of the board of directors of the Paclfia
Coast Uumber Manufacturers' Associa
tion, together with representatives of tho
Oregon Lumbennen's Association and
Southwestern Washington lumbermen's
Association, was held here yesterday. The
most important action taken was the de
cision to advance the price of lumber
for Eastern shipment $l-per thousand,
Qwfng- to the high price of logs prevailing
at present. The rules governing the grad
ing of lumber for the rail trade were
adopted and those for cargoes were de
ferred Until .the next meeting. The sub
ject df making an exhibit at the Pan
American Exposition was brought up, but
it was decided t leave the entire matter
with a committee composed of President
Bell, C. F. White and Charles E. Hill,
who will confer with the commission and
take whatever action is deemed advisable.

SOLDIERS TO DEFEND CAPITOL.
Suggestion for 3illitary Tactics of
O. N. G. Encampment.
SALEM. March 29. The suggestion that
the annual encampment of the - Oregon
National Guard be conducted this Sum
mer as an active campaign has met al
most universal approval in military cir
cles, and as the time draws near when
the encampment will be held, Interest in
the subject increases. While tho week of
drill in camp, which has heretofore been
the rule, has been of great value in train
ing the troops in the battalion and bri
gade maneuvers, it Is believed that a still
greater practical knowledge of military
movements can be obtained by marches
on the highways In a campaign resem
bling as nearly as possible one of actual
warfare. It was at first suggested that
the Fourth Regiment march north to meet
the Third Regiment marching from Port
land toward the south, and the two bodies
engage In a sham battle. To. put more
reality into the maneuvers, it is now pro
posed that the Fourth Regiment be
charged with the duty of defending the
State Capltol, while the Third Regiment
undertakes its capture. The upper Valley
companies would find it necessary to in
tercept the Portland companies, while the
latter would try to steal a march or force
their way to the capital.
An encampment conducted on this plan
would be anything but an outing. The

Care of Milk and Rotation of Crops
Also Discussed at Myrtle Creek
Farmers' Institute?.
MYRTLE CREEK, Or., March 29. A suc
cessful farmers' Institute closed here last
night. The meeting was conducted by
Oregon Agricultural College professors.
The attendance was larger than expected,
and a much1 more than ordinary Interest
was manifested In the discussions. The
address of welcome was delivered by A.
F. Cornutt. Professor F. L. Kent re
sponded on behalf of the Oregon Agricul
tural College and briefly reviewed the
history and objects of the farmers' insti
tute movement. He stated that the at
tendance and Interest shown at the In
stitutes this season had been greater than
ever beiore in the history of the move
ment In Oregon. The institute then re
solved itself Into a working body. Dr.
James Withycombe was the first speak
er. He chose as his subject "Silos and
Silage" His -remarks, In part, were as
follows:
Silos and Silage.
"The silo Is art adjunct to successful
dairying. Silage Is good for stock cattle,
but it is particularly a feed for dairy
cows. The silo has made rapid progress
during the past 20 years. Formerly the
silo was built of masonry, and was very
expensive. Now It is cheaply constructed
of wood. The favorite form Is the cir
cular stave silo, which Is constructed at
a cost of about $1 per ton capacity. This
makes a cheap form of receptacle for the
storing of green fodder, as it will easily
last 10 years. Any one Contemplating the
construction of a silo should see one that
is in successful operation. There are
points in construction, particularly about
the arrangement of doors, which should
be seen to be thoroughly understood.
Formerly It was considered necessary to
fill the silo without any interruptions in
the process, but now It is considered bet
ter to fill about three times, allowing an
interval of one or two days between the
fillings. When the silo is full it should
be covered with some straw cut up fine.
About half a bushel of oats should be
scattered over the surface. The heat and
moisture will cause the grain to make a
vigorous growth", and mako a practically
air-tight cover."
Co-operative Dairyings
Professor Kent, in discussing "Co-operative
Dairying," called attention to the
fact that creamery companies In Fort
land and Albany Were now shipping cream
long distances to their factories. "This
arrangement," he said, "should be highly
acceptable to dairymen in localities where
there are nol a sufficient number of cows
to make the establishment of ft creamery
a paying enterprise. By a little co-operation
on the part of three. or four near
neighbors, owning four or five cows each,
a hand separator could be secured and
the milk of these three or four bands of
cows passed through the one machine and
the cream shipped to one of these collect
ing points. If a man owns 10 or more
cows, it will pay him to have a separator
for his own use. The use of the cream
separator Is essential for the most satis

ery to produce a first-class article of but
er therefrom. The difference in the qual
ity of separator cream and gravity
cream Is so great that many factories pay
2 cents per pound more for the butter ttt
contained in the former. This idea of
shipping cream long distances :1s ntw to
Oregon dairymen, but It has been found
a successful practice in some sections of
the Middle West dairy regions."
n. !'Tn: -frlthvctiinbe. in 3ls6us8hig
"Rotation of Crops." reiterated nie state
ment at a former institute that the summer-fallow
system is not adapted to Or
egon conditions. His remarks in paft
were as follows:
"The soil Is not the inert mass we m
prone to regard It. but full of living or
ganisms, the activities of which makes
it a veritable workshop. The farm has
been styled a mine, but it is really a
factory the workshop of God. where his
handmaid Nature weaves Into endless
forms' the wonderful fabric of plant life.
A mine when worked out has lost its
wealth for all time. Even the lapse of
centuries falls to restore the precious
metal, but a Worked-out farm can be re
newed again and again, and made to con
tribute to the wealth and happiness of
man for all time. The successful farmer
must be a student of Nature, bringing
within the scope of his observation all
of the sciences related to agriculture.
Prominent among these will be problems
of soil management for the conservation
of fertility. The fertility of the land Is
the farmers' capital and the available
plant food, if intelligently handled, Is
equivalent to cash in hand. Plant food
exists in the soil in two forms available
and nonavallable. Frequently a wrong
system of farming Is responsible for ex
hausting the available plant food In the
soil. Especially Is this the case with land
which has been continuously cropped
with the cerals. The available forms of
plant food are principally mineral ele
ments, which are locked up as a reserve
fund In the soil. Among the most import
ant of these are phosphoric acid and
potash, the latter being locked in the
particles of feldspar and mica contained
in the soil. A rational system of crop
rotation with humus forming plants wlH
give to the farmer the means for trans
forming the Inert mineral matter Into
appropriate forms of plant food. The
acid products of humus act as a solvent.
liberating the potash and phosphoric acid
and converting them into soluble forms
which are available for elaboration into
plant growth. Thus the office of humus
is an indispensable factor In the Conser
vation of the fertility of the farm.
"Of the "0 chemical elements In Na
ture, only 13 are of general interest to
the farmer. The principal ones are nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid: Tho
one which concerns the farmer moat is
nitrogen, the source of which Is humus,,
or the products of micro-organisms coin
cident with the growing of leguminous
plants. Our present system of summer
and winter-fallowing land is causing Im
mense losses of this most expensive form
of plant food. Thousands of tons of ni
trogen are annually leaking from our eoll
and going own our rivers to the ocean.
This can be largely overcome by better
methods of husbandry, substituting cul
tivated crops for the bare summer-fallow
and winter-cover crops for the winter
fallow." Care of Milk.
Professor F. L. Kent In discussing
"Care of Milk," said in part:
"The fundamental principles which
should be observed in producing .pure
milk are almost entirely overlooked on
a large proportion of the dairy farms.
This Is usually due to Ignorance of their
importance, rather than to Intentional
neglect. In most cases bad conditions are
promptly improved when their dangers
are known. When one understands
something of the sciences affecting
dairying, the changes In milk cease to be
mysterious, and the work connected with
the dairy, instead of being unprofitable
and monotonous, as some conslder.it. be
comes profitable, Interesting, and Instruc
tive. "The value of milk when It Is delivered
to the factory depends largely on the caro
it has received previous to delivery. Some
factories have two classes Into which the
milk is divided, that which is off-flavored,
being considered second-class, and paid
for at a lower price per hundred than Is
paid for the flrst-class milk. Every dairy
man knows that the handling of milk the
first few hours after it Is drawn from
the cow has a great Influence on its qual
ity and on the quality of the products
made from, it. The care of milk seems
like a simple matter, but it IS along this
line that there Is the most room for Im
provement in American dairy practice.
It is considered a. dishonest practice to
deliver skimmed or watered milk to a
butter or cheese factory, but a greater
Injury Is done the factory by a patron
who delivers badly tainted or diseased
milk, for his milk may seriously injure
the entire product for that day, thereby
lessening the returns for every patron.
Butter and cheesemakers should abso
lutely refuse to accept milk thatTs tainted
or unfit for use; they should do this for
the sake of their own reputations, and
In justice to patrons who deliver good
milk. Briefly speaking, the greater the
degree of cleanliness observed In fhe
handling of milk the more satisfactory
will be the results."
H. Trower, through whose efforts the
meeting was secured, filled the position
of chairman with credit to himself and
the entire satisfaction of ail concerned.
No small share of credit is due S. W.
Bayless for his efforts In arranging for
songs, recitations, etc., for the Institute.

Salem Statesman.
Irt view of the assertion by ex-Governor
Pennoyer that his failure to appear at the
passenger depot In Salem May 5, 1S91, in
time to meet the train which brought
President- Harrison, was due to "the
treachery of -a member of the committee,"
It may be interesting to know who com
posed the committee Of arrangements, so
that the ex-Governor and his friends may
name if they will the member of the committee-
who was to blame. That commit
tee consisted of E. M.Waite, Captain D.
C. Sherman. F. E. Hodgkin, Frank Davey
find E. Hofer.
It appears from the records Of that time
there was the utmost hftrmony Jn oil the
arangements except for a misunderstand
ing which arose as to whether Governor
Pennoyer or Mayor D'Arcy should have
the honor of speaking first at the recep
tion In the State House. The latter in
sisted upon his rights In the matter, and
Mr. Pennoyer had to giVe way.

.sary of the day when tho, provisional gov
ernment had Its origin,
The last Legislature appropriated $300
for the erection of this monument. At a
recent meeting the Oregon Historical So
ciety asked Governor Geer to take charge
of the arrangements for the occasion.
After consulting with Secretary George
H. Himes, of the Historical Society, the
Governor believes that Jt will be possible
to obtain the names of about 43 of the 52
persons who voted on May 2, 1S13, in fa
vor of the provisional government. These
names must be obtained chiefly from?.
X. Matthlew, the only survivor of the
102 settlers who took part in the Cham
poeg meeting. It is proposed to carve
these names on the monument, together
with a brief statement of the facts which
the stone commemorates. A contract has
been made with Otto Schumann, of Port
land, to furnish the monument and sot
It In place. The stone will be of Oregon
granite from the vicinity of Forest Grove.
Tho main shaft will be 16 inches square
at the bottom, and will rest on two base
blocks. The monument will stand about
eight feet from the ground.
It is the Intention to have ns elaborate
a programme as time will permit. The
monument is to be erected within 100 feet
of the boat landing at Champoeg. As
the place is easily accessible by boat from
all parts of the Valley, there will prob
ably be a large attendance of pioneers
and native sons. Arrangements can prob
ably be made so that the place may be
reached by rail also.
Addresses upon historical subjects will
constitute the greater part of the pro
gramme. The arrangements In detail for
the occasion will be made by the Gov
ernor and the officers of the Oregon His
torical Society, and will be announced In
the near future.

Health for Housewives I
Akron, Ind., April 15. 1900.
I am taking the third bottle of Wine of Cardul and It has done me lob ef good. At
tlmei 1 could not stand on my feet, my limbs and feet were so badly swollen and black.
I had, to sit on a chair -and put my feet on' another and set the dish pan in my lap to wash
dishes. My husband got me a bottle of Wine of Cardul and -it did me much good. I do
not have to sit down to work now. It helped me in many other ways also. 1 can
truthfully recommene iu MRS. L E. PERRY.
A housewife needs rugged health and great physical endurance to meet
the. demands made upon her. But there arl women in nearly, every home
whose monthly periods make them virtual invalids. And we want to td! them
today thy need not be invalids. Mrs. Perry was frec4 from all this suffering.
A healthy vife is a blessing to the home in which she b founo'. She sings
about her house Work and can do four times as much as her sick sisters.
.gives mothers and daughters robust health. This pure Wine regulates menstru
ation, allowing that health-preserving natural function to throw the impurities
from the system. Falling of the womb is a terrible strain on the nerves. Wine of Cardui eases the
tension, by restoring the organ to a strong and healthy condition. Leucorrhoea, an inflammation of the
lining of the womb, Is a terrible ailment Every woman knows the shooting pains, the dull aches in the
head and back, which mean disorder in the delicate and sensitive female organs. Thousands of women
after suffering them have taken Wine of Cardui and secured permanent relief. What valid excuse for putting
off this simple treatment another day I Time complicates the trouble Wine of -Cardui will cure it NOW.
Ask for Wine of Cardui.
