Olympia Committees Hold
Long Sessions to Listen to
Various Complaints.
BILLS GIVEN DEATH BLOWS
Vire Insurance Men, Brewery Repre
sentatives, Sportsmen and Labor
Leaders All Kept Busy Dur
ing Yesterday's Holiday.
OL.YMPIA, Wash., Feb. 12. (Special)
Althouph no session of the Legislature
was held today, many of the committees
held lone and important meetings. For
instance, the House Judiciary committee
held a session lasting about four hours,
during which It recommended 14 bills
for passage and noted seven others for
slaughter by indefinite postponement. 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.
Megler's Committee Divided.
Megler's House committee on Congres
sional apportionment split on the methods
of dividing the state Into Congressional
districts. Chairman aiegler. Henderson,
Fancher, Blackmore, Lambert. Dickson
and Cameron voted to recommend a bill
which will place Pacific Wahkiakum,
Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania and all of the
east side counties lit one district, the
other, west side counties, in a second
district, and for the election of the
third Congressman-at-large. Such a
scheme would put Seattle and Tacoma in
the same Congressional district and would
start many things. Strowbridge, Glen
Byeriy, Halteman. Connell and Gregg
voted to pass Gregg-s bill, which places
the east side counties in one district
and makes two west side districts, with
Seattle and the .northwest in one and
Tacoma and the southwest in the other.
Weir, of King County, did not vote. The
reports will come into the House tomor
row, which will likely adopt the Gregg
measure.
Tomorrow night W. W. Cotton, of the
O. R. & N., B. S. Grosscup of the North
ern Pacific, and L. C. Oilman, of the
Great Northern, will be here, according
to telegrams received, and will address
the joint railroad committee on pending
railroad legislation, particularly the reci
procal demurrage bill.

fended the attorney. The matter came up
on a request for $10,000 additional appro
priation to complete the suit.

from Pierce County for $640 for rent of a
room in the court house occupied by the
State Horticulturist. The committee in

The Senate judiciary committee decided
to recommend Indefinite postponement of
a bill passed by the House allowing
cities and towns to validate debts in
curred in excess of the constitutional
limit. This committee will send to the
general file without recommendation a
bill introduced by Piper punishing the
use of a play or optra without consent

out the tax commission plan to make
railroads and public service corporations
pay all state taxes and to exempt such
corporations from local taxation.

IAXVARY LIMBER SHIPMENTS
Kecord Goes This Time to Hoquiam
Lumber & Shingle Company.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 12. (Spe
cial.) Cargo shipments of lumber from
Gray's Harbor for January aggregat
ed Si. 241, 125 feet, while shipments of
lath aggregated 14,289,900 pieces, and
of shingles 4.4T2.000 pieces. Reduced
to lumber measurement, lath and shin
gle shipments aggregated 2,828,850 feet,
or a grand total of lumber, lath and
shingle shipments of 34.069,975. The
month came up to the average. 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.
Y1NG HAMMERS
The Hoquiam plant sent away 3,959,734
feet. Of the 60 vessels loading at this
port In January, only two went foreign.
ABERDEEN' LAD DISAPPEARS
Raymond Olden Has Not Been Seen
Since He Crossed Bay to Hoquiam.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Feb. 12. fSpe
clal.) Raymond Olden has disappeared
and fear is entertained that lie may
have drowned. Saturday afternoon,
with William Llghtfoot and Eddio
Doyle, young Olden went to Hoquiam
In a rowboat. The boys landed t the
dock of the Northwestern Lumber Com
pany, where Olden is said by his com
panions to have remained while the
others went up town. When they re
turned Olden had disappeared. 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.

EXPORT TRADE CUT SHORT
PTJGET SOUND CANNOT GET
WHEAT FOR MILLING.
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.

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.

men from having a trial.
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.

In the House this- morning there were
statements as matters of personal priv
ilege by Ballantyne and SeawelL The

Opposes Dam In Snake River.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 12. A tele
gram was received today from Senator
W. B. Heyburn by President John O.
Bender of the Commercial Club, in which
he gives the assurance that the applica
tion of the Benton Water Company for
authority to dam the Snake River at Five
Mile Rapids had been held up. A few
days ago Senator Heyburn wired the club
to learn the public sentiment here on the
matter, and was informed by the club
that the consensus of opinion here is that
the dam would endanger the free naviga
tion of the river. Senator Heyburn wired
as follows: "Have tied up bill for the
erection of dam on Snake River. In my
judgment river should be kept free from
every obstruction, and action of your club
was wise."
Proper Deed, but no Grantee.
ALBANY, Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.) A
deed, properly acknowledged and correct
ly drawn, but in which no grantee what
ever is named, has been received for
record by County Recorder Froman.
Froman does not know to whom to apply
for a correction of this all-important
defect, as no letter accompanied the deed
nor was there any return address on the
envelope. Nor did any recording fee
accompany it. The envelope in which the
deed was sent was postmarked Harris
burg, Or., and that is the only clew
to show where It came from. The deed
was acknowledged before the Clerk of the
Supreme Court of the State of Wash
ington. Advantage to TJp-River Men.
SOUTH BEND, Wash., Feb. 12. (Spe
cial.) The fishermen of the Lower Co
lumbia, in Pacific County, are very much
opposed to the proposed Sunday-closing
law for fishermen. They claim that such
closing will be of no benefit to the fish,
inasmuch as fish passing up the river on
Sundays will be caught by the upper
river fishermen on Mondays, or soon
after, and that the lower-river men will
be the losers. It is probable that some
strong remonstrances will be sent to the
committees of tiie two states by the Chi
nook and Ilwaco fishermen.
Flood Leaves RoaA Impassable.
ALBANY, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) As
