ALLEN SOLE AGENT FOR BAKER'S BARRINGTON HALL STEEL CUT COFFEE. PHONES-711 AND 3871 BRANCH PHONE 71S 13 WEISE IS GETTING GOOD RESULTS GERMAN EXPERT IN DAIRY PRODUCTS LOOKING OVER PROPOSITION FOR ESTAB LISHING MILK CONDENSER. GETTING RESULTS. One of the best expert cheese and butter makers, a scientist who thor fmghly understands pasteurizing and sterilizing of milk so that it there after cannot possibly convey the dreaded germ of tuberculosis, Mr. H. Weise, lately of Berlin, Germany, but for the past nine months of the state of Colorado, arrived in the city yesterday morning accompanied by bis wife for the purpose of looking over a number of diary propositions about which he has recently been in correspondence with the Chamber of Commerce. The officials of the Chamber wel comed Mr. and Mrs Weise assisted by Dr. C. W. Barr, chairman of the special diary committee; Mayor Wise and A. Scherneckau, who has been conducting the feerman correspon dence for the Chamber. Mr. Weise will if the conditions warrant, establish a milk condenser in Astoria. He has conceived the idea that probably this can be done by the aid of skimming stations throughout the lower river country. At least these stations would enable the establishment of a high-class cheese factory for making Swiss, Limberger and other valuable cheese. Mr. Weise also has in mind the establishing of a school for the mak ing f these cheeses and for other nigh-class diary purposes. As there is no such school and he is a grad uate of the best diary and cheese , making schools of both Germany and Denmark, it is beleved that such an establishment will pay here and pay .well and that students can be drawn from as far away as Seattle and Eu reka.'". ur. xarr win ai ictsi acc mai mi .

"As the milk of this section of the country makes the best cheese that can be produced", said Mr. Weise, "I am especially anxious to locate here. I believe that the business of sterlizing milk of itself would be a profitable on. tFive or six hundred gallons of milk a day would do to start the manufacturing of cheese, but of course a much larger quantity would be preferable. A first-class cheese and butter sterilizing plant would not cost more than five thou sand dollars. I am ready to make investments here if I find the con ditions will warrant I am used to this sort of climate and am anxious to locate here, or else I would not have come here for the purpose of making a personal examination. I be lieve that the great future of this section of the country after the tim ber is removed is in dairying and I would like, if I can profitably do so, to become allied with the dairying interests here permanently. Before I leave, if I do leave, I shall spend a week or ten days in looking into local conditions, which, so far as I have seen them, please me greatly. I understand your soil, your tide lands and all the conditions concern ing them. I have several proposi tions whereby you can bring the thriftiest and best classes of Germans here who will settle up your lands, dike the tide lands and clear off the stumps. This cannot be successfully done any other way. The land will have to be sold to these settlers on easy terms, for they will only have a small amount of money each to begin with, but you may rest assured that they will pay for every foot of land they buy, and that, too, within a few years. And after, they pay for it they will become permanent citizens and the very best. "Before I leave I would like to meet any of your farmers or land owners who have tide lands or stump lands of considerable areas who would sell the same on easy terms. I don't mean by that that the land must be the cheapest in price, but that the buver must have a lon term in which to make payments." NEW CURE FOR KIDNEYS.

WILL REQUIRE 3 YEARS TIME It Is Pointed Out That It It Not Clear Whether the Bill la Intended to Apply to Express Companies, Electric Railroads, Etc. WASHINGTON, Mar." Ji.-Yhe Senate committee on interstate com merce yesterday - received a letter from Chairman Knapp of the Inter state Commerce Commission, giving the commission's estimate of the La Follette bill for an official valuation of railroad property. In r the main Mr. Knapp quotes from suggestions made by Heney Adams, statistician for the commission in regard to a similar bill referred to him a year ago and from the last annual report of the commission, and adds: "As to the time likely to be requir ed for performing the work of valua tion and its probable expense, we are of the opinion that the estimate of Mr. Adams in his letter of 1906 is too conservative and we understand that he is now of the same opinion. The selection of first class engineers and other assistants and the organi zation of a sufficient and reliable force will require careful inquiry and consideration. A reasonable time should be allowed for this prelimin ary but most important part of the work. "While we are -unable an alto gether confident judgment, we think it not unlikely that three years would be necessary to complete proposed valuation and that the total expense would perhaps not be Jess than $3,- 000,000. At the same time we have no reason to believe that these limits would be materially exceeded." Upon the bill itself aside from the general question involved, Mr. Knapp says it is not clear whether the meas ure is intended to provide for the val uation of electric urban railways, which he thinks should be excluded execpt as they are integral parts of or subsidiary to the steam railways It is pointed out also that it is not clear whether the bill it intended to apply to express companies, sleep-ins-cars, companies, pipe lines, boat lines, transfers and common carriers of similar classes. It is suggested that the bill should include provision for the valuation of cars of packing companies. and other private con cerns, whose equipment is used in in terstate transportation. He says the bill could contain some general in structions relative to the report to be made, and calling for analysis of the :lemcnts that constitute the valua ion of railway property. Such an alysis is essential before any judicial ise can be made of the figures re ported. Another matter of criticism by the commission, is the fact that the bill makes no provision for the right of aeents of the commission to enter upon the property "of corporations. It is stated that the most important point in an inventory valuation is the extent to which the property has de- 35.00 '::, urcclated and for tills and other pur poses Chairman Knapp says that if there is to be legislation of this char acter .the agents of the commission must have free access, to the property of the railroad companies as well as access to the records. ! ; FIND WORK FOR MEN. CHICACOfMnr. 31. The Record Herald says: - ' In the next 60 days the railroads of the United States will have to find between 250,000 and 300,000 men to mend their tracks and roadbeds and another large army to go Into their shops and repair the cars and the locomotives. The , railroads centering in Chicago alone will, be twecn tomorrow and June 1 require more than 100,000 , laborers. Work will be started tomorrow on road which m the best favored by cli matic conditions and will be Increas ed rapidly until June 1, when re newal and repair work will be in full swing on every road In the Coun try. The average number of men needed by each of the large Chicago systems is 5,000 and the wages of fered are to be about the same as last year, when labor was scarcer and more men were needed. For day laborers the wages range be tween $1.25 and $1.60 a day, the aver age being about $1.40. The highest figures is paid for what is called steel gangs, who are employed in laying steel rails. This year the railroads expect to be able to procure a much greater proportion of American labor than usual, owing to the fact that times have not been so good and many men are out of employment. It is also expected that there will not be so many Italians available this year because since the business depression came, the Italians returned to their native land in shiploads. NELSON AND ATTEL. Fifteen Rounds Fight With Eddie Smith as Referee. SAN FRANCISCO, Mar, 31. Ed die Smith, the Oakland referee, will efficiate in the ring at the Coliseum tonight when Battling Nelson and Abe Attel clash in their 15 round con test. Smith takes the place of Ed die Greney, who announced yester day that he would be unable to under take the task because of illness in his family. In each fighter's camp it was a case of just a tap of work yester day. Nelson hovered around the 133 mark, while Attcll was so far below the weight that he did not have any thing: to bother him on that score. The betting last night in the vari ous poolrooms was brisk at eyen money. The volume ol money it is said wagered exceeds any fight since that between Burns and Squires and bids fair to equal that. Attell's con fidence is strong enough to make him put down a good sized bet on the outcome and Nelson is taking a chance on the result. .The fact that the betting is even and that the crowds at the training camps on Sunday were so large fore casts a crowded house at the Coli seum rink this evening when the fighters climb through the ropes. Conservative judges estimate that the house will run $10,000 and pos sibly exceed that sum. Attell gave out an official sttacment last night in the rink. He said that he would enter the ring at 122 1-2 pounds. i Baby Carriages and Go-Carts.

Cooper, whose theory that the unman stomach Is the cause of most ill health and who created a furore in Chicago, St. Louis and oth er Western cities, li meeting with the same remarkable success wth his medicine throughout the East. Coop er has convinced an immense num ber of people that his theory is sound and his medicine will do what he claims. Perhaps the most Interesting fea ture of the discussion this young man Is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusiastic converts to his beliefs. Among statements of this chaf acter, the following, by Mr. August Wittmer, 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi cago, is characteristic of the wide spread faith in Cooper, wheh has grown up in a comparatively short time. Mr. Wittmer says: "I wouldn't take $1,000 and be in the condition I twas three weeks ago. I was practically an Invalid for four teen years and think I had about all of the diseases known. My atom- THE STORY OUT. f London, Mar. 31. All the London papers are now in possession of the latest phase of the Hill incident, but for the most part they refrain" from comment. The Daily News, how ever, in an editorial says that the Emperor's whisper carries further than the thunders of other men. "It all goes to show," says the paper, " that the Emporor ought neither to write to hiV friends nor talk freely at the dinner table, for he Is a man of impulsive temperament and sin gularly unfitted for a role where discretion is the supreme virtue." The Daily Express says: "The new diplomacy of the dinner table and ballroom is a palpable anachron ism to have it recognized that a man is unfitted to be ambassador unless he is wealthy and consumed with a desire to spend on lavish entertain ments is to put back the hands of the clock of history President Roose velt will not be the man we take him for if he docs not bring dowp the big stick on this particular cabal."
