SENATOR FULTON OPPOSED
SWEEPING TARIFF REVISION
Says Radical Readjustment Would Be In
advisable Because of Increased
Expenditure of Government.
Says It Would Be Good Thing for Oregon if Coal Could Be Placed
on Free List, but That Such Action Would Necessitate Adding
Lumber, Wheat and Other Products to the Untaxed
Schedule-Material Revision Is Unlikely.
Senator Fulton eaye
That free coat would bo
good thing, but tht free col
a would mun free lumboc and
froo wheat.
That eongroM will not revise
tho tariff aftor tha presidential
election;
a That our oxptntea aro now
woll up into figuroa, and we
need tha money which tho
a tariff will net uss
a That there ia a movomant on
-a foot to anaet a aarvica ponaion

viding government aid in tha

which will increase our national

Senator Fulton, 1 a letter to a
friend IrT this city, 'expresses some In
teresting opinion with reference to the
nolitical situation. The senator seems
to think there will be some readjust
ment of the tariff schedule now In ef
fect, but he U opposed to anything like
a general attempt to reduce existing
rates. He explains that the govern
ment needs the money, as our national
expenditures will be vastly increased
because of unusual expenditures.
With reference to the suggestion that
coal be placed on the free list, Senator
Fulton believes such action would not
be advisable. He says other Interest
j would demand other articles on the fm
list, such as Canadian products ell
(kinds, and that the free coal rrdM
j would therefore be a bad one to -
tablhsh.

' received yesterday by a prominent Aa-
torlan. he enlalna the bill recently
Introduced to prevent the fala label
ing of canned salmon. The letter will
prove of especial Interest, and Is here
with appended In full:
"Washington, Feb. SI I have just
received your letter of the 15th Inst
The salmon labeling bill I have intro
duced does not propose to require the
month when the flan ' was taken or
packed to be printed on the label. In
deed, it does not require any label
whatever to be placed on the package.
It simply prohibits any false state
ment being made either as to the char
acter of the fish packed, or the season
of the year when packed, or the place
where the fish was taken. Consequent
ly it would be perfectly proper to print
on the label "spring packed' or tall
packed,' or no Indication whatever of
the season or place where the fish was
packed need be printed on the label.
"1 note what you have to say about
1 hoin? nlaced on the free list. It is
true that free coal woul be a great
advantage to Oregon, but you. must
bear in mind that we can not expect
to get free coal without consenting to
the 'admission of a number of other
things duty free; for instance, lumber

Simla, Bntishei Damaged by Flamet

Uh ahlp Simla, now loading lumber
at Irt Ulakety, caught lire early yea
terdAT morning and waa damaged
more than t:.W- The lire etarted In
the salt looker, where 15000 worth of
new canvaa waa deatroyeil. It then
Kread forward of the foremast to the
stem and completely gutted the vensel
for a distance of 40 feet.
Had it not been for the Valiant work
of the Seattle nreboat, Snoqualmle.
which waa sent for, the vessel would
have been a total loan.
The Simla was anchored near several
other sailing vessels, and there were
no tugs to tow them out of danger
Had the fire reached the upper part ol
the ship and In line with the wind It
Is probable that other vessels would
have been destroyed also. When the
Snoqualmle arrived the blaae wna be
ing fought with one u-ln h hose from
the vessel and but little headway waa
being gained on the lire. Three big
streams from the flreboat soon put out
the blase.
The Simla waa loading lumber for
Sydney, Australia. She waa cum lr

Is 2374.
