ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. "22. "It is rather strange that
the demand for tariff revision should
come from Massachusetts. Some other
New England States are favorable to re
vision on certain articles, notably Con
necticut. Rhode Island and Vermont. The
first two are similarly situated to Massa
chusetts, having large manufacturing in
terests, and naturally desire a reduction
of the duty on raw materials that go Into
their products. Maine and New Hamp
shire, being side by side, are naturally
similarly interested in tariff conditions.
The late Nelson Dlngley, who was chair
man of the ways and means committee
wnen the Dlngley law was framed, was
very careful to see that everything In
Maine was highly protected, and there Is
Is scarcely a product of that state that
is not well taken care of. In fact, he
carried this plan so far that it caused
sarcastic comment from the late Thomas
B. Reed, who was then Speaker of the
House. Possibly thi3 accounts for the
fact that every member of the Maine del
egation In the House Is emphatic In his
opinion that there should be no extra ses
sion and no tariff legislation; also that
Senator Hale Is one of the most deter
mined men against any "tinkering with
the tariff." Maine docs not want any of
her presont industries to suffer, and in a
bill that was under the supervision of
men who were not from that state it
might be found that inequalities existed
on Maine products.
Where the "Standpatters" Are.
In looking over the country to see where
the demand for tariff revision arises., and
where "stand-patters" predominate. It Is
easy to observe that the protected Inter
ests are looking after their own. In the
Middle West, especially In Wisconsin and
Minnesota, there is a very strong feeling
for tariff revision. Members of the pres
ent House do not care so much about this,
but in representing their constituents they
Icul obliged to urge that something bo
iUwie. -The manufacturing states natural--ly
do not want the tariff revised, save on
those articles that they want to get as
raw material. New York, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania. New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, West
Virginia and the Pacific Coast seem to be
absolutely united against revision, while
Iowa Is divided. The division in Iowa is
on the Cummins and anti-Cummins line.
Men who do not train in the Cummins
camp are opposed to any changes In the
tariff. In the mountain country very
strong opposition to tariff revision Is
found, because the people of those states
are aware that there will be a reduction
on nldes, and the cattlemen are opposed
to anything of that kind.
Free Hides Means Free Shoes.
From a member of the Massachusetts
delegation who would no doubt be con
sulted and have a great deal to do In
making up any tariff bill. It Is learned
that the articles which it Is thought
should receive attention In the revision
of the tariff are iron, steel, glass, wood
pulp, hides and manufactured leather, and
a reclassification of the cotton schedules.
This reclassification Is proposed for the
purpose of affording the New England
mills better opportunities for spinning and
manufacturing cotton. It was naturally
supposed that, while Massachusetts was
anxious for free hides, she would still In
sist upon protection on leather and manu
factures bf leather, but the manufacturers
of shoes 'in Massachusetts have been in
formed that, in case hides are put on the
free list manufactured leather must also
go on the free list. Governor Douglas,
who was elected on the Democratic ticket,
and who is one of the largest shoe manu
facturers in the country, has already con
sented to that proposition,-and the Mas
sachusetts men say that other manufac
turers are willing to have their products
put on the free list, if the duty is taken
off .leather and hides.
Commission May investigate
The idea now seems to be that a com
mission, or, rather, members of the two
committees of Senate and House which
will handle tariff legislation when the
matter is considered, shall be authorized
to make an investigation of the subject.
It Is doubtful whether the stand-patters
will consent to this. Their Idea Is to have
the country understand that there is no
Intention of revising the tariff, and that
there is no necessity for an Investigation
of the subject. There may be some lively
tariff talk when this proposition Is
brought before Congress, and that It will
be is quite likely, as it is understood to
be the view of the President that no harm
can come from an investigation of the
subject, so that the next Congress can de
termine whether any changes are necessary.
JEWELS STOLEN PROM HOTEL
New York Woman is Robbed of Thou
sands in Pasadena.
PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 22. Diamonds
and other Jewelry to the total value of
JS5.000, belonging to Mrs. William
JSdey, wife of n prominent member of
the New York Board of Trade, have
been stolen from a room in the Hotel
Maryland In this city. James Doyle, the
bellboy of the hotel, has been arrested
on. suspicion of having taken the Jew
elry and Is undergoing a thorough In
vestigation at the hands or the police.
Mrs. Edey left the hotel Saturday for
a horseback ride, leaving her Jewels
looked in her trunk. Instead of plac
ing them in the hotel safe as was her
usual custom. Her room was entered:
Oregon Lawmakers Go Back to Salem
Today. '
The two houses of the Oregon Legisla
ture will take up their burdens today
where they left off last Friday. This
morning's train from Portland to Salem"
will be heavily freighted with lawmakers
and lobbyists.
As yet the solons have been unable to
make up their minds whether to adjourn
on February 10 or to continue the ses
sion the full 40 days to February 17.
Speaker Mills' resolution for adjournment
February 10 is still with the House com
mittee on resolutions, to which it was
referred early last week. While all the
members believe that the sooner the ses
sion ends the better, nearly all expect It
to continue 40 days.
The most important matters to be con
sidered this week are local option, forest
fires, county division and game protec
tion. The contest between Columbia
River fisheries will not reach the climax
probably until next week, when the Joint
committee, appointed to confer with a
similar committee of the Washington
Legislature, will have made its recom
mendations. The only bill of Importance thus far
passed by both houses is that for ceding
lake lands in Klamath and Lake Coun
ties to the National Government. This
bill hap been approved by the Governor.
Important bills have been Introduced as
follows:
To put state officers on flat salaries.
To call a constitutional convention.
To protect the salmon industry of the
Columbia River.
To establish a bureau of mines.
To protect game.
To appropriate money for Indian War
volunteers of 1S53-6.

versity. 4

WONDERFUL SOAP LAKE.
Legislature Considers Sale of Its
Borders.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 21. The Intro
duction of a bill to repeal an act now on
the statutes reserving from sale a quar
ter section of land five miles northwest
of Ephrata. in Douglas County, has
caused the relating of wonderful stories
of the medicinal properties of Soap Lake,
a small body of water upon which the
reserved state land borders.
This lake is about two miles long. A
recitation of what can be accomplished
for the afflicted of body by the use of
the waters reads like a patent medicine
advertisement.
For instance: It will cure scrofula,
rheumatism, stomach troubles', kidney
diseases, corns and bunions, stop falling
hair, cure mange and take grease-spots
out of clothes.
In fact, there seems to be no limit to
what the waters of this lake will accom
plish "If directions are followed."
The state lands bordering on the -lake
were reserved in 1901 by the Legislature
at the solicitation of residents of the
county who were acquainted with the
wonderful properties of the lake. Since
that time the fame of the waters has
spread, and there is a demand for the
purchase of an available site on thn lake
for the purpose of erecting a sanitarium.
Those who are familiar with the history
of the body of water relate stories of per
sons who have come from far off states
despondent over their condition, and who,
after a few weeks spent In camping on
the sage brush flats that surround the
lake, and In drinking the water and In
bathing in the lake, have gone away
cured.
The lake Is an uninviting spot. It Is said,
so far as enlc surroundings are con
cerned. A widow has a homestead on
one portion of the shore, and has a well
within a few feet of the lake shore that
furnishes pure, clear water. The wntcr
In the lake has a very soapy, saline taste,
not unlike that of epsom salts. When
the surface of the water Is stirred by a
breeze and the waves churn up foam and
froth, which piles up on the lee phore.
Mimetlmes two feet high. The wind
scatters this foam among the sage brush
for long distances. One of the principal
stilts In the water is said to be found in
no other waters, so far as known, with
one exception, and that Is In one of the
famous health resort of Europe. The
lake has no outlet.
In addition to Its medicinal properties,
the water is remarkably cleansing. An
engine driver. It Is said, could Jump into
the lake with his worst overalls on and
come out looking as though he had a new
suit. As heretofore stated, there is a move
ment pn foot to establish a sanitarium
where -Dersons who cannot "rough it" can
have the benefit of the waters. There
are some obstacles in the way. however,
one of which Is- the present Impossibility
of getting any of the lands bordering the
lake, and another lice In the peculiar to
pography of the country. The land slopes
back from the lake for over two miles.
There would therefore be some difficulty
In disposing of the sewerage of a large
sanitarium without Infecting the lake
with impurities.
