First American Governor. Revolt Agrainst Spain to Found Re publicWild Scheme of Aaron Burr Aid Given by. Spain to Washington. BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN. WASHINGTON. April 24 (Special Cor respondence.) Louisiana has been one of the states of the American Union 95 years on April 30. having been admitted on April 30. 1812. Birthdays of the states are not generally observed, California being a single exception, as September 9, 'Ad mission Day." is a legal holiday in that (date. It has been suggested by a famous public school educator that these an niversaries of the admission of the sev eral states be devoted to giving the chil dren's history classes a short review of the story of a state. Should this plan be generally adopted, the children would rarely hear a more thrilling and romantic tale than that to be told on the birthday of Louisiana. De Soto first, and after 100 years La Salle, discovered the great Mississippi River, which flows into the Gulf of Mex ico In what Is now the State of Louisiana. After La Salle came Bienville, father of Louisiana and founder of New Orleans, and the first permanent settlements were made. Scarcely had the stout-hearted French pioneers made a home for them selves when their country was made the basis of one of the greatest speculative schemes and financial frauds the world has ever known. John Law, a Scotch man with brains, persuaded i the French government, through Philip of Orleans, to found a bank and issue bonds based upon the exploitation of this great coun try of Louisiana on the banks of the Father of Waters, then called in France the River Colbert. This was the cele brated "Mississippi Bubble," the bursting of which shook Europe through and through and worked lasting injury to Continental European enterprise in the new world. Founding of New Orleans. While the "bubble" was at its brightest and its colors were dazzling the eyes of the whole world, tha city of New Orleans was founded in February, 1718. by Bien ville, newly-appointed Governor. It was named in honor of John Law's chief patron. Philip of Orleans. regent of France. The older settlements of Fort IjOtlis on the banks of the Mobile then dropped into secondary importance. It was found that some ships could 1 come up through the delta of the Mississippi, and Bienville protested against Law's company sending all the ships up the Mobile. When New Orleans was Ave years old a royal French engineer, M. Pauger. made a report to the King say ing the Mlsstsslpnl was opon to naviga tion from the gulf and recommending a system of jetties to deepen the channels. Just such a system of jetties was success fully put in by James B. Eads a century and a half later, under United States supervision. Revolution Against Spain. John l.aw was not to "be the last to dream of an empire in Louisiana. The weak and dissolute Louis XV made a secret treaty In 17fi2 and gave Louisiana, then comprising territory from which 14 states have been carved, to his kinsman Charles III of Spain. The colonists did not know that they had been deserted by their beloved mother country until two years later. There was bitter resentment, for these Ijouisianians were good French men and hot patriots, and their love of country had been greatly strengthened at that very time because of the Influx of exiled Aiadlans, who were driven from their northern homes by the cruelties of the English. So it came about that the INitrlots of Louisiana dreamed of an in dependent republic and thero was a revo lutlon. The Spanish were strong enough to put it down immediately and the Spanish Governor. "Bloody" O'Reilly caused the patriots to be executed. Galvez a Noble Patriot. When the patriots of the English colonies to the east rose in rebellion in 17IS, the French-Americans of New Orleans sympathized with them, and the Louisiana merchants sent supplies of arms and ammunition to Washington's army. Not all the Spanish Governors were of the type of "Bloody" O'H. illv for the gallant young Don Bernardo de calves, who became Governor of Loui slana at 21 years old and died in Mexico as viceroy whin he was 30, has left an Illustrious name. In 17S1, just when the American troops under Washington were winning the victory In the war for in dependence. Galvez defeated the British at Pensacola and the Floridas were re stored to Spain. Refugees from English colonies who souk for safety were cared for by Galvex and given permission to found a new colony. They built a town and named It In honor of the young Gov ernor Galvez Town, now the Galveston which Is the pride of Texas. It was Galvez who gave Louisiana the right to share In the glory of the American arms in the Revolutionary War by his cam paign against the English In Florida. Struggle to Rule -Mississippi. But Louisiana was not yet through with its destiny as a foundation for dreams of empire. Don. Estevan Miro came to be Governor of Louisiana In 17. The United States were quarrelling among themselves under the operation of the inadequate Articles of Confederation. Miro thought the country might go to pieces and that he might get some of It for Spain. So he made friends with the pioneers who were pushing Into Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. They depended or the Mis sissippi Kiver for commerce, and Miro dominated the river. Miro grew so popular in the western part of the United tSates that the whole Valley of the Cumberland River was named for him the Miro or Mero dis tiiot. The mastery of the Mississippi River became burning Issue when Washington was President. Citizen Genet appeared In Philadelphia and the "Span ish Intrigue" was born. Jacobin socie ties In Kentucky were of strong pro Spanish proclivities. The Eastern states cared little or nothing for the settlements west of the AUeghenies. while the pioneers looked on Miro as their friend. These dreams of a Mississippi Valley empire from mountain chain to mountain chain were not to be realised. But the plotting went on. even after Miro. Wil liam Blount. Ilrst Senator from Ten nessee, was expelled from the Senate on the charge of having treasonable corre spondence with Louisiana Spaniards. Napoleon arose and overshadowed Europe.

New Orleans then had about SOOO people and the whole vast territory had about 50,000, not counting the Indians. Next year the great territory was divided and the southern portion became the Ter ritory of Orleans.

(Spe cial.) J. A. Doak, one of Oregon's -well-known pioneers, died at his home near Bear Creek, five miles south or Bandon, April 21. De ceased was born In Pike County, Missouri, February 10, 1840, and w hen 5 years of age crossed the plains with his parents, who settled six miles below Salem. He came to Coos County In October, 1872, and settled on Fishtrap. He was married to Sarah Gibson at Franklin. Lane County, and mar ried again to Isabel Butts, of So noma County, California, on July 20, 1871. who is now living. He had two children by his first wife, one of whom Is still living., and seven by his second wife. The body was laid to rest, in the Prewett cemetery. ilrst Uovernor of Orleans. Eight years thereafter the people adopted a constitu tion and were admitted to the Union They elected Claiborne the first Governor of the State of Louisiana. Claiborne was only 2S years old when he first assumed the territorial government In 1803, and, on account of his youth, he may be pardoned for having' attempted to Americanise the French all at once. He established Court of Pleas, such as he had known in Virginia. The lawyers were greatly dis satisfied with the strange form of law, and especially opposed to the Introduction of the English language. A compromise was effected and James Brown and Moreau Llslet were appointed to draw up a civil code. This, as revised in 1825. under the title of the "Civil Code of Louisiana Is that admixture of the Roman civil law and the English common law of which Louisiana lawyers are so proud today. The French language Is still the speech in parts of New Orleans and some rural parishes, FYench customs are still followed and always will ob tain, but Louisiana is as thoroughly American as Massachusetts or Virginia. Battle of New Orleans. Within three years after It became a state the Battle of New Orleans was fought, in which Andrew Jackson gave the English veterans of the Napoleonic wars the most complete drubbing an American army has ever given a foreign foe. Jean Lafitte and his Bara tarlans. who had been called pirates but who refused to aid the English against Americans, fought bravely In that battle and put an end to charges against Louisiana's patriotism. New Orleans advanced rapidly after the invention of the steamboat and at one time, before railroads made the rivers of secondary importance, wad the rival of New York as the business metropolis of the Union. When the Civil War came Louisiana, with the other Southern States, seceded and joined the Confed eracy. To the lost cause she gave Judah I Benjamin, the bright particular star of Jefferson Davis' Cabinet, and to the Confederate army she gave P. G. T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, Leonidas Polk and Richard Taylor. Louisiana suffered more, perhaps, than any other Southern state during the period of reconstruction and it was not until 1S77 that home government was again established. Since that time Louis iana has devoted herself to commerce and the acts of peace. Her days or po litical adventure are over and she Is en Joying the prosperity which of right be longs to an American state. Tomorrow Lights That Failed. ST. PAUL, April 29. Judge Sanborn today filed the opinion of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, which he had written, affirming the judg ments of the United States District Court for the Western District of Mis souri against certain packing com panies for accepting concessions of 12 cents per 100 pounds from the portion of the established rate for the trans portation of provisions on through bills of lading from Kansas City to Chris- tlania and other points in foreign coun tries. Judge Hook and Judge Adams conrur in the opinion. The lower court imposed a penalty of 15,000 on each of the indicted firms and the fines have been affirmed. The defendants in the cases involved n the decision are the Armour Pack ing Company, Swift & Co., Morris & Co. and the Cudahy Packing Company. These cases are the first of tne so- called rebate cases brought by the United States against the packers, which were determined by the Appel late Court, and this will form the basis for future action until the Supreme Court renews the decision. The sub stance of the conclusions reached by the court is as follows: 1. That the giving, or receiving of a rebate or conceasiony whereby property in interstate or foreign commerce is transported at less than the rate legal ly filed, is a violation of the Elkins act and is a continuous crime, adjudicable in any court of the United States hav ing jurisdiction of the crimes through whose district the transportation is conducted. 2. The rates of transportation from places in the Union to ports of traa shipment and from ports of entry to places in the united States, of property in foreign commerce carried under through bills of lading, are required to be filed and published by the amend ed Interstate commerce act of 1897. If carried under an agreement on a through rate which Is the sum of the ocean rate and the rate from or to a place In the United Stilt es to or from the port of trans-shipment or of entry, the latter rates are required to be tiled and published. If carried under a joint through rate by virtue of a common controi, management or arrangement, of the inland and ocean carriers, the joint rate is required to be filed and published. Third The giving or receiving, of the rebate or concessions whereby property In Interstate or foreign commerce Is transported at lower than the established rate is the essence of the offense perti nently denounced by the Elkins act. The device by which concession on transporta tion is brought about is not an essential element of the crime, and it Is unneces sary to plead it In the indictment. The meaning of the clause, "by any device whatever" In the Elkins act is directly or indirectly. In any way whatever. Fourth A contract between a carrier and a shipper to transport the latter's goods In Interstate or foreign commerce at the then established rate for a definite time, is ineffective after a higher rate has been filed and published as required by law. The time during which a rate different from the agreed rate Is estab lished by filing and publishing is except ed from the term of suh contract by vir tue of the National acts to regulate com merce, which are a part thereof. Such a contract constitutes no defense to a charge of giving or receiving a debate or con cession from the filed and published rate- Fifth The only criminal intent requisite to a conviction of an offense created by statute which is not malum in se is the purpose to do the action In violation of the statute. No moral turpitude or wicked intent is essential to a conviction. WILL BEGIl" WORK SOON Actual Construction on Beaver Creek Road Expected Within a Year. OREGON" CITY, Or., April 29. (Special.) Actual construction of a railroad from Oregon City to Beaver Creek within a year is indicated by a number of in fluential men of this city who are backing the project initiated several months ago. It is the ultimate plan to extend the line Into the Molalla country and to Wilhoit Springs, through Clarkes, Highland and Milk Creek. Immense bodies of merchantable tim ber lie in these sections and. while some of it has already been secured by the Weyerhaeuser Interests and Collins & Co.. there are thousands of acres held by Bmall holders and farmers living along the line of the proposed route. County Judge Grant B. IMmlck, Judge Thomas F. Ryan, E. G. Caufleld, J. W. Sherwood, of Portland, and John Adams are heartily interested in the scheme for the construction of a line, with the prinfary idea of building up Oregon City by bringing it into close touch with the surrounding country. The whole section soutli and east is naturally tributary to Oregon City, but a large portion of the trade now goes to Silverton, Woodburn and other towns because they are nearer. The grade from Oregon City to Beaver Creek will average one and one-eighth tenths of a mile, with the exception of the canyon leading out of the city, where the raise will be 301 feet in 16,640. The survey will be completed this Summer. During the present week a meeting will be held with the people of Beaver Creek to put the proposition up to the farmers, whose co-operation and support it is hoped to enlist.

OLYMPIA, Wash., April 29. (Special.) Railroad commission work will hereafter be attended to on a district plan. That is one of the features of the plans the commission is working out to systematize its business. It happens that the three Commissioners come from each of the con gressional districts, so it has been decided that on all matters originating from Seat tle and the Northwest Chairman Harry Fairchild will give personal attention to the correspondence; Commissioner Jones will handle the complaints and corre spondence originating in Pierce County and the southwest, and John Lawrence will care for the east side counties. Of course this will not be a hard and and fast rule, for naturally all important matters tnat require tne attention of the whole commission will be taken up by the three members. On ordinary correspond ence from outside the state. Secretary Cal- dernead will sign tne correspondence in the name of the commission. Under this plan of dividing the work, it is expected prompt attention will be given to all com munications and the commissioner who takes up a complaint will continue In .personal charge until the matter is dis posed of. New office rules for the assignment of clerks and with regard to handling and filing correspondence are also being prepared. Sorely Afflicted, He Was Cured After Ordinary Methods Failed Even to Give Relief There are still people -who say tliat partial paralysis cannot be cured. If yon have partial paralysis or some other severe nervous disorder, do you think it is better to be treated by some one -who insists that you are incur able, or to take a treatment that grateful patients throughout the United States testify has cured them? A recent case where a cure was effect ed was thbt of Mr. Charles H. Gilden of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich. Mr. Gilden is a veteran of the civil war, and fought with the Eighth New York Heavy Artil lery. The story of his affliction told in his own words is as follows : "In 1893 I was attacked with terrible twitching sensations and numbness all over my body, which mV phyBician said was paralysis and which he attributed to a bullet wound received during the war. "I seemed to be getting paralyzed all over and finally could hardly walk. My eyes became weak and I had to get stronger glasses. I could not move the lid of one of my eyes and my face and mouth were drawn over to the right side to such an extent that I could not speak distinctly. I was also troubled with palpitation of the heart. "In the fall of 1898 after having been under the treatment of several doctors end having tried electricity without help, I bought six boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and got some relief. After taking six boxes more, I could stand a luird day's tramp and another six boxes cured me." This case, like numerous others, bears "witness to the wonderful curative prop erties of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in nervous disorders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure general end nervous debility because they make new blood. They strike at the root of ithese and other blood diseases, such as rheumatism, anaemia, indigestion and nervous troubles, such as neuralgia, ner vousness and spinal weakness. A valuable booklet, "Nervous Disor ders," will be sent free on request. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 60 cents per box, six boxes for $2.60, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. and she was brought to Seattle tonight for examination before Commissioner Kiefer. SEATTLE WANTS ' A AlILLION Will Ask This Sum From Congress for 1909 Exposition. SEATTLE, Wash., April 29.
