It was a great day also for the lobbyists and legislative aid visitors. Of these the delegations from Chehalis County, work ing for and against county division, were the more numerous and few indeed were the legislators who escaped bein? button-holed to listen to long arguments on both sides of this question. The fire Insurance men who are fighting the increased tax on Insurance companies, the brewery representatives who are con cerned in the provisions of the proposed local option bill, sportsmen who wish no change made in the game laws that allow running down deer with dogs, officers of the direct primary league who want the league bill to go through without amend ment, representatives of labor organiza tions and many others were busy as bees.

Storms prevailing along the coast delayed lumber vessels, thereby reducing the tonnage available at this port, else shipments would have exceeded 35,000, 000" feet. For the first time In many months, the Slade Mills did not hold the lead in lumber shipments by water. First place for January goes to the Hoquiam Lumber & Shingle Company. Ordina rily the Slade Mills send away In ex cess of 5.000,000 feet per month, but in January, on account of delay to ton nage, occasioned by the severe weath er, exports totalled but 2,824,628 feet.

Some of the tugboat men about the dock declare they saw but two boys on the wharf that day, and this has created the belief that perhaps young Olden may have run away. His father, who is in the employ of the Gray's Har bor Gas Company, lias notified the po lice, and diligent search is being made. Olden was a member of the high school. Condon Funeral This Afternon.

Failure of Railroads to Deliver Grain Has Meant Heavy Financial Loss Mills Run Half Time. SEATTLE, Feb. 12. (Special.) Failure on the part of the Great Northern and the Northern- Pacific to deliver more than 25 per cent of the wheat crop of Eastern Washington counties has caused a loss In exports of flour of $750,000 to the mills of Seattle and Tacoma. The finan cial loss to the mills of Puget Sound Is heavy and most of them are running on half-time or not at all. Conditions ex isting at present are without parallel in the flour milling history of the Coast. No hope appears and flour has advanced 25 cents over a week ago, while the miller's advance is added to by the Job bers. Moreover, b?estem could be sold today at from "3 to 74 cents per bushel, while two weeks age the average price was 67?68 cents. F. H. Luce, ex-Lleutenant-Governor of the State of Washington, said today that not 25 per cent of the wheat crop of Lincoln County had been moved as yet. The farmers have sold a great por. tion and it is being held In the ware houses by the buyers, who have to pay heavy interest charges to the banks on their loans. In Seattle the flour export business has dropped to practically nothing. There is a big demand in the Orient for Ameri can flour, but necessarily orders must be turned down.

KISER FOR SOUVENIR PHOTOS. Northwest Scenery Lobby Imperial. E Jury Panel in Adams' Case Exhausted Second Day. SAYS SHERIFF IS BIASED Defense Requests That Special Com mission Be Appointed to Summon Venire Argue Matter at Night Session of the Court. WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 12. At the close of the second day of the trial of Steve Adams for the murder of Fred Tyler, 34 talesmen had been examined, exhausting the panel and the court had ordered the summoning of a new venire. Eleven jurors remained in the jury box and the defense still retains the right to four peremptory challenges and the state one. When the court ordered a new venire Attorney E. F. Richardson, counsel for the defense, made an affidavit that the Sheriff is biased, and asked that a special commission be appointed to summon the venire. In his affidavit It is alleged that Angus Sutherland, whoso term as Sheriff expired last mouth, was made Sheriff in 1SD9 dur ing the labor troubles by the Mine Owners' Association, and that as Sher iff he cannot serve two consecutive terms. The present Sheriff, William Bailey, was nominated with the un derstanding that Sutherland should still be In complete control under the direction of the corporation hostile to the Western Federation of Miners. Sutherland Is alleged to have re ferred to all members of the Western Federation of Miners as "outlaws, thugs and dynamiters," and it is his purpose to run "every dynamiter out of the country." A night session is being held to argue this matter. When court opened Attorney Knight placed President Hendrickson, of the Mul lan, Idaho, Miners' Union, upon the stand to furnish proof that the Miners' Fede ration had raised large sums of money to defend the prisoner. Hendrickeon said the different Miners' Unions had raised the money, both by per capita and by subscription, to send to the headquarters of the Western Federa tion of Miners, at Denver, and, that he had an idea for what the money was to be used.

WHAT HE GAVE TO SCIENCE Some Fossil Discoveries Made by the Late Dr. Condon. UNTVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Feb. 12. (Special.) Dr. Thomas Con don, who died yesterday, was born in Ireland in 1822 and came to America with his parents in 1883, receiving his early education in New York. He grad uated from a Methodist college at Ca zenovia, Madison County, N. Y., in 1852. In the same year he married Miss Cornelia Holt and both started for San Francisco with a band of missionaries, by way of Cape Horn. The trip was made with considerable hardships, and during the voyage a smouldering Are burned in the cargo of the vessel for three days. Professor and Mrs. Condon arrived in Western Oregon in the Fall of 1852, and in 1862 removed to The Dalles, where they opened a mission and car ried on religious work among the pio neers of that section. At this time Dr. Condon began to devote special attention to the fossils of the region. He discovered a branch of acacia preserved in the rocks, and shortly after identified a bone fossil, exhumed from a well between Walla Walla and Colville, as a portion of the humerus of a horse. The American Museum of Natural History lias a sculptured restoration of this horse, called Protohippus Venticolus, which Is only four hands high and has three toes on each foot. When the. John Day Valley was safo for travelers. Dr. Condon wandered over it, collecting many fossils from the rich field. Later he held the chair of geology and natural history at Pa cific University, and in 1876 he was chosen for the same position by the regents of the University of Oregon. The board of regents urged him to be come the first president of the State University, but he refused, deferring to Professor Johnson, who accepted. For nearly 30 years the eminent ge ologist continued with the university, until falling health compelled him to retire from active duties In 1904. At the time of his retirement he was granted the title of "professor emeri tus" by the regents. .The "Oregon horse," supposed to be 2,250,000 years old, and the Domesto phoca Oregonensis, a fossil seal, form the peculiar contributions of the great scientist to geological science, the lat ter fossil having attracted attention all over the w.orld as affording a neces sary connecting link in the evolution of the seal family. Dr. Condon incorporated the geolog ical history of the Pacific Coast, as he had seen it in the rocks and fossils in a book, "The Two Islands," the re sult of 50 years' labor and study. The fossils collected by the professor are in the geological department of the university and were donated to the in stitution last year.
