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. He. too, dreamed of an Amerl-
Wllliam C. C. Claiborne, a young Vir
ginian, was sent by President Jefferson
to be the first Governor of Louisiana
Territory. 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. Claiborne was also

The Late J. A. Doak.
BANDON, Or., April 29. (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.

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.

MEMBEHS DIVIDE UP WORK
Railway Commissions Have a Xew
Scheme to Facilitate Business.
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.

Company, lie decided adversely to Green.

damages on "account of injuries sus
tained by Green in a railway accident at
Brush. Colo., in September. 1906." The suit
was Instituted In a Federal Court In
Pennsylvania, but that court refused to

Chicago. Burlington & Quincy Railway
Company. That decision was affirmed by

Appeal to Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON. April 29. The Supreme
Court of the United States today dis
missed for want of jurisdiction the case
of Charles W. Johnson vs. Nels O. Hult
berg, the Swedish evangelist of the Cov
enant of America, and others, thus leav
ing in force the decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois, which was against
Johnson. The case involved a contro
versy over a rich mine near Nome,
Alaska, which was located by Johnson
while acting as a missionary in the in
terests of the Covenant. He afterward
laid claim to the mine as his own private
property and worked It for himself, tak
ing out about 1600,000 in gold. The Su
preme Court decided that Hultberg, as
the representative of the Covenant, was
entitled to the major portion of this
amount on the ground that the mine had
been located for the organization.

SEATTLE, Wash., April 29. (Special.)
Uncle Sam did not fit up the Postoffice
at McMurray as Maggie Laioke, the Post
mistress, thought it ought to be furnished
so she borrowed money from the postal
funds and equipped her office to fit her
own ideas of fitness. When the Post-
office Inspectors discovered that Maggie
Laioke was $650 short in her accounts and
discovered that she had invested in offiec
furnishings, they took an inventory of her
purchases and could not make their total
fit with the amount that was missing
from the cash drawer. This news was
broken to the .Postmistress, but she con
tended the entire shortage had gone into
Postoffice furnishings. Then the postal
authorities ordered her arrest anyway.

nervous, you have bad dreams; startle in your sleep, and awake out of a
dream very much frightened; stinging pain in the breast; no appetite.

improve of its own accord, but Instead you may grow gradually worse,
and eventually end in nervous debility or neurasthenia. If you have ever
