Congressmen to Keep
After Postal Increases.
BETTER SERVICE THEIR AIM
North.west Men Not Alarmed
by the Bristow Report
ACTIONS IN NOWISE IMPROPER
Extra Allowances for Clerk Hire and
the Like Are Wholly in Interests
of the Public and Their
Constituents.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, March 12. The Bristow report,
which, by- Inference, assails the Integ
rity of members of Congress, and holds
them before the country In the light of
"grafters," failed to create a stir among
Congressmen from the Pacific North
west. The Oregon representatives,
whose names do not appear, have little
to say about the document.
"I don't see how Bristow overlooked
me" Bald Representative Williamson.
T plead guilty to having secured a
number of Increased allowances for
clerk hire, and feel slighted to think
my work has been overlooked. Never
theless, I shall keep right on after more
Increases when the service warrants it.
Mr. Hermann, while glad his name
was not brought Into the report, admits
having recommended numerous in
creased allowances, and says there Is no
impropr!etyin such action which Is
common practice among members.
"The only complaint I have to make
about the Bristow report," said Repre
sentative Jones, "Is that It did not tell
the whole truth. It cited but one in
stance in which I secured an Increased
allowance for clerk hire, when there are
dozens of such cases on record. I con
consider the report a testimonial to the
ability of Congressmen to accomplish
results rather than a reflection upon
them.'"
"I would not mind the Bristow report
if it were laid before the people In the
proper light," commented Representa
tive Cushman. "There is nothing wrong
in securing Increased allowances for
postal service, and I expect to keep at
it as long aB offices in my state require
more money to handle the mails."
ReDresentatives Humphrey was at
first very Jubilant because, his name
was omitted from Brlstow's list, but he
has changed his mind. "I am afraid
my constituents after reading that re
port, will wonder why ! have riot been
able to get Increases for their post
offlces," said he.
Representative French,' of Idaho,, who
also escaped mention, said:
"I see no reason why any member
should be embarrassed by reason of be
ing mentioned in the Bristow report
for halvng secured Increased allowances
for his district, provided those increases
were Justified, and from what I, can
learn In almost every case cited the
member is certainly beyond Just criti
cism." TO LOOK INTO BRISTOW REPORT

Committee Holds Secret Session.
WASHINGTON, March 12. The special
committee appointed by Speaker Cannon
today to Investigate the connection of
members of the House with the Postofflce
Department touching clerk hire and build
ing leases, was In session for two hours
today and adjourned to meet Monday at
10 o'clock. The work to be done was dis
cussed and also the procedure to be fol
lowed. While no Investigation of the Postofflce
Department is to be made, the acts and
conduct of the officials of that department
who transacted the business of members
of Congress, the propriety of which has
been questioned, undoubtedly will be scru
tinized closely. The Investigation also will
disclose the author or authors of "the In
dictment" reports. The session of the
committee held today was secret.

up to December 31. 1903. there had been
issued and outstanding United States Steel
Corporation 26-year 5 per cent sinking
fund gold bonds dated April 1, 1903, for the

In the way of general comment. Chair
man E. H. Gray and President W. E.
Cory say:
"During the yer general trade condi
tions materially changed and the business
of the subsidiary companies. In common
with the business of all others, suffered by
reason of the falling off In orders. " So
soon as it became evident to the direc
tors that there was likely to be a large
diminution In the net profits to be real
ized by way of dividends from subsidiary
companies. It was deemed wise and pru
dent to reduce the dividends on the com
mon stock of this corporation, and later
for the same reason to suspend payment
of dividends on this stock. In the determi
nation of these questions the directors
gave careful consideration to. all the facts
and circumstances bearing upon the sub
ject, and due regard to the relative rights
and claims of all who are Interested In
the continuous and permanent success of
the corporation, and the advancement of
its business.
"On December 31, 1903, the tonnage of
unfilled orders onMhe books was 3,215,123
tons of all kinds of manufactured prod
ucts. In comparison with a tonnage of
5,347.253 at the corresponding date in the
previous year."

War of Mississippi on Picture
Venders Explained.
M'LAURIN INFORMS SENATE
People Do Not Object to Sale of
the Roosevelt-Booker Washington
Photographs, but Other Wares
of Peddlers Are Improper.
WASHINGTON, March 12. There was
an echo of the Indlanola, Miss., postof
flce case In the Senate today, when Mc
Laurln rose to a question of personal
privilege to explain a newspaper report
to the effect that the authorities of that
place arrest peddlers of pictures of Presi
dent Roosevelt and Booker T. Washing
ton, who may chance to go there. Mc
Laurln said arrests of picture venders
had been made both at Indlanola and a
neighboring town, but that the arrests
were due to- the fact that their wares were
of an Improper and lewd character, and
not because they were selling pictures of
the President and Mr. Washington.
The Senate considered but did not dis
pose of the fortifications bill. A number
of bills were passed. One of them has for
Its purpose the prevention of the desecra
tion of the American flag by Its use for
advertising purposes.
McLaurln, in explaining the Indlanola
Incident, said ordinarily a story "of this
character may not be worth attention, but
under the circumstances he felt he should
refer to it for the purpose of refuting It,
as it is entirely without foundation. Mc
Laurln said the paragraph had grown out
of a statement made in a newspaper letter
written by A. J. Paxton, an attorney of
Leland, Miss., who told of the arrest at
that point of three men who he said were
engaged In selling pictures of the Presi
dent and Mr. Washington seated at the
table' together, and also pictures of ob
scene character. These pictures, he said,
appealed strongly to race prejudice.
Similar arrests, also, McLaurln said, had
been made at Indlanola, and it was found
upon the hearing of the case that a CInr
cinnatl concern engaged In publishing the
pictures In question had many agents out
in the interest of these works.
The men -were tried and some of them
sent out of the country, and McLaurln ex
pressed surprise that any community
should have permitted (hem to be tried.
He said the penalty Imposed by the law
was entirely too small, and expressed the
opinion that the death penalty would not
be too severe. He added the arrests were
not because the men were selling photo
graphs of the President or of Mr. Washing
ton, but because they were selling lewd
pictures.
The following bills were passed: Provid
ing for the establishment of a light and
fog signal station at the entrance of Bel
lingham Bay, Wash.; authorizing the Sec-,
retary of War to accept from the citizens
of Missoula, Mont., lands for the enlarge
ment of the military reservation at that
point; authorizing the erection of a Fed
eral building at Sheridan, Wyo., at n. cost
of $160,000; granting an American registry
to the British ship Pre n ess; authorizing
the preparation of a railroad map of the
United States by the Geological Survey;
to prevent the desecration of the Ameri
can flag; for the regulation of consular
Invoice fees: authorizing the Improvement
of the mouth of Snake River, near Nome,
Alaska, as a harbor.
The b'lll making appropriations for forti
fications was then taken up.
All the committee amendments except one,
for the purchase of a submarine torpedo
boat for experimental purposes, and that
relating to the purchase of sites for 'de
fense In the Hawllan Islands, were accept
ed. The further consideration of these
amendmentejwas postponed untilMbifday.
The Senate heibwent into executive sfh
slon, and shortly afterward adjourned

ALL CREDIT DUE ANKENY
HIS PERSEVERANCE WON HAY
FOR FORT WALLA WALLA..
New Buildings Will Be Erected In a
Short Time, and Post Become an
important One.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, March 12. Senator Ankeny won
quite a victory In persuading Secretary
Taft to make Fort "Walla "Walla a per
manent Army post. Had it not been for
the persistent efforts of the Junior Sen
ator from "Washington, there Is not, the
slightest probability that this post would
have been retained, but on thS other
hand, the order Issued by Secretary Root
shortly before, he left the Cabinet, would
have been carried out, and Fort "Walla
"Walla would, have been abandoned.
One of the first things which Senator
Ankeny did when he came to "Washing
ton this "Winter was to request the "War
Department to disregard the recommen
dation of General Funston, that Fort
"Walla "Walla be abandoned. Secretary
Root referred the matter to the General
Staff, and that body, after going into the
details, reported to General Young that
the post was of little military Import
ance and ought to be discontinued. Gen
eral Young indorsed the recommendation
of the staff, referred the matter back
to" Secretary Root, and on his showing
the Secretary issued the order in ac
cordance with the recommendation of
the Commander of the Department of
the Columbia.
"When Senator Ankeny returned to
"Washington after the holiday recess, he
learned that adverse, action had- been
taken on his recommendation. All ef
forts to Induce Secretary Root to re
verse' his decision were unavailing. But
when Secretary Taft assumed charge of
the "War Department, and General Chaf
fee succeeded General Young as Chief
of Staff, Senator Ankeny again took up
the Fort "Walla "Walla matter, and had
the case reopened. He succeeded In con
vincing General Chaffee that Fort "Walla
"Walla, so admirably located from a mili
tary standpoint, should be kept up. Gen
. eral Chaffee la turn recommended to the
Secretary of "War that the order Issued
early In the "Winter be revoked, and that
Fort "Walla "Walla become a permanent
post. After further conference with
General Chaffee and Senator Ankeny,
Secretary Taft went even further than
the Senator had hoped for, and not only
ordered the retention of Fort Walla
"Walla as a permanent post, but gave
directions that It should be transformed
from a cavalry post into a battalion in
"fantry post, with quarters sufficient to
'accommodate four full companies;
In order that Fort "Walla Walla may be
maintained as an active military post, it
will be necessary to refetilM, the tfwrtcrs1

Pe-ru-na Not Only Cures the
It Leaves the System
Mrs. J. T. La Barre, 451 S. Saline St, Syracuse, N. T., writes:
"Last Winter I was completely prostrated from neglecting a cold.
Was unable to. eat or sleep. Eheumatism, followed "by la grippe, left
me nearly helpless. The doctor prescribed for. me, bnt I did not seem
to gain strength, so he advised me to go away and try a change of
climate. I could afford neither the time nor the money, and so de
cided to try Peruna for a change, as I had heard it spoken of very
highly.' I am pleased to say that a complete change for the better set
in almost as soon as I began using it. Gradually my pains lessened,
my strength increased and within three weeks I was fully restored.'.'

ty." It will be sent free to any ad

" If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Peru
present buildings at Fort Walla "Walla
are uninhabitable. They are to be re
moved and new buildings, modern bar
racks and modern quarters suitable for
a battalion of Infantry are to be built.
The work of rehabilitating Fort "Walla
"Walla will be done under the Quarter
master's Department of the Army, the
necessary funds being taken from the
lump appropriation thatjs made for the
improvement of Army posts. As soon as
the current work Is out of the way, the
Quartermaster's Department, by direction
of Secretary Taft, will take up the im
provement of Fort "Walla "Walla, and will
prepare plans for such new buildings as
are to be erected. All of the present
buildings are in such poor condition that
they cannot be repaired at a reasonable
cost, so they will be demolished, and be
replaced by the new buildings. Until Fort
"Walla "Walla has been rebuilt, It Is prob
able the garrison will consist of the small
detachments of cavalry. Not until ample
quarters are provided will the Infantry
take possession.
Too much credit cannot be given to Sen
ator Ankeny for having secured the order
for the upbuilding of Fort "Walla "Walla.
Had it not been for his efforts the "War
Department would have- accepted the deci
sion of Secretary Root as final and the
post would have been altogether aban
doned. Once It had been abandoned, it
would have been practically Impossible
to secure Its reconstruction. It will here
after take rank as one of the Important
military posts in the Northwest, and while
not of such size as Vancouver Barracks
or Fort "Wright, it will occupy an import
ant place on the military map, and will
be a permanent garrison for troops as
signed to the Department of the Colum
bia. Prosperity in the Malay States.
Outlook.
And what has British, rule achieved for
the Malay States? It has given the native
security of life and property; it has -abolished
slavery and the exaction of unpaid
labor; It has established permanent land
titles; it has provided free education and
free hospital treatment and medicine for
all; it has exterminated piracy; It has put
an end to the recurrent scourges of small
pox and cholera; It has constructed over
1000 miles of metaled road; It has built out
of current revenue 300 miles of railway
which carried nearly 4,000,000 passengers
in 1902, and earned in ten years a net
revenue of over $7,000,000; it has, perhaps
unwisely, left the native practically un
taxed; it has afforded ample opportunity
to the Malay of entering the government
service and of acquiring wealth by the
exercise of ordinary industry; it has raised
the revenue of the states from $100,000 in
1875, to $20,500,000 in lS02r It has In the same
time increased the foreign trade of the-
states from $1,500,000 -to $117,000,000; it has
kapt the peace and maintained the law.
This Is a record ot which any nation
might be proud.

"Without raisin c- the rtlsRiisslon as to

much is certain and admitted hv nil. It
will produce chronic catarrh if not

There is no remedy in the world that

grippe better than the remedy, Peru

vates; soothes while it stimulates, heals
as it expurgates.

tnrrhnl Diseases Unhealthy
Mucous Hembraaes.
It reaches the source of all diseases
of the mucous membranes by its ac
tion on the vasa-motor system.
Every person who has had la grippe
during the last year should take a
course of Peruna. No one need expect
perfect recovery unless they do so. The
grip has produced catarrhal inflamma
tion of the whole mucous membrane,
and good health is impossible until
these are restored to a normal condi
tion. This Peruna will do. A great many
remedies have been suggested for this
condition from time to time, but Pe

duty to you and to others who may be
afflicted like myself, to speak for Pe

grippe eight or nine years ago, a
gathering in my head and neuralgia. I
suffered almost all the time. My nose,
ears and eyes were badly affected for
the last two years. I think from your
description of pelvic catarrh that I
must have had that also. Nothing ever
relieved me like Peruna. It keeps me
from taking cold. "With the exception
of some deafness I feel perfectly

PERMANENCE OF CURE.
The Chief Merit.
Many so-called pile remedies will afford
the user slight temporary' relief, and the
majority of sufferers do not expect mora
than this. "Women especially, after hav
ing tried every preparation recommended
for the cure of piles, have come to the
conclusion that there Is no cure except
by an operatlbn. This is rightfully viewed
with dread, because of the shock to the
delicate nervous system of women, and
many of those ' afflicted have resigned
themselves to the situation with never a
thought that there Is any help In sight for
them.
"We- invite the attention of all such to the
experience ot the lady whose address la
given below.
"I feel it my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure, for after suffering ten
years with a most distressing form ot
Piles, I am entirely cured, thanks to this
remedy. Any one doubting this fan

street, Cleveland, O.""
Ten months later she writes: 'H. am glad
to say that I am still perfectly free from
plies, and have not had the slightest
trouble since I first used your remedy. I
am well known in Cleveland and have
advertised Pyramid Pile Cure, extensively
here. I take pleasure in doing so as it
saved me from an operation." which I al
ways dreaded, and you are assured the
remedy can have no firmer advocate

Testimony like this should convince the,
most skpetical that Pyramid Pile Cure
not only cures, but cures to stay cured.

applied in the privacy of the home, di
rectly to the parts affected, and does its
work quickly and painlessly.
