"Resolved, That the interstate com merce commission should " be given power to fix railroad rates in disputed cases, these rates to be In force until reversed by a higher court." The speakers supporting the affirma tive were Cheater K.

The Chinese do not forget this treatment. - "This class of proscription has been going on for years until President Roosevelt finally called a halt to it. It Is ray opinion that the Chinese people wlll.be many years recovering from these indignities besped upon them by Americans. While I was ia China last summer the whole country waa over flowing with a bitter feeling against the United States. Unless some action is taken by coagvess to ameliorate the present conditions I look for . strained relations to continue to exist between China and the United States. "History shows that we sought trade from 1 them, fostered treaty with their government and induced them to come here. While it is no doubt right and proper to curtail labor immigration, the treatment, to all classes by our country men is most deplorable. There la one thing the Chinese do not understand i and .that-to' why the people of this country have subscribed millions of dol lars to Christianise them. They fall to perceive for what reason, if the Amerl- ' cans regard them as such a despicable race,' so much energy is being wasted to Ot them for associating with Americans in the next world."

In one stretch of less than a mile the com pany will be compelled to make no less man lour crossings. The only person still holding out and keeping, the railroad from completing Its right of way in this section is juage Burkett, who has a tract ' along ths river. 1 acres of which the company wants. Leas than two acres of it Is under-oultlvalion and although Burkett has been offered '1 11.000 for It he re fuses to sell.

Upright, the right-of-way man for the Great Northern, was here todsy and said that the people rt While Sal mon seem to have gone land crasy. They are sitting up nights for fear the site for the depot will be selected while they are asleep. The wildest kind of stories are afloat as to where the new station will be located. One day It is at Underwood, the next at Blngen and then it Is at White Salmon. The specu lation in land at White Salmon has even reached Portland and one man who came up from- there a day or two- ago to get a piece of land, he had thought about buying some time ago found that It had changed hands twice and that $3,000 had been made on it In the last two days. , Work on the road below thla point has been commenced vigorously- and the heavy blasting can be heard for miles up. and down the river. The company Is experiencing some difficulty in keep ing men. as there is so much work In the logging camps this winter that they drift away from the railroad. Antici pates the many accidents that must oc cur during the construction of ths road a hospital has been equipped at Collins and W. A. Chamberllss, one or the com pany's physicians and surgeon, -placed In charge of it . to the handsomest of the vice-president's sons. He wants to be a miner, go to Mexico, and lead an adventuresome life. This thing of bowing and ecraplng to callers and listening to their troubles ia not his way to fams and fortune. It is a calamity, this defection, when there are not a half doxen eligible young men in this whole blessed city.

DELIVERED THE GOODS 1 (Continued from Page OnQ . . .. plainly by The Journal and the people awoke to the realisation of the peed for immediate action. Open town advocates fought the pro posals with every device possible, but the council, notwithstanding there were msny objectionable acts and omissions charged against It, at least yielded to the demands and passed the ordinance which abolished private boxee in saloons and restaurants.- This measure was en acted June 2, 1104, and signed by for mer Mayor Williams. Tsst cases were begun in the courts, an dthe cause want to the highest tri bunal, which sustained the ordinance aa absolutely harmonloue with the organic law of the atate and the statutory and ordinance enactments with which If had to square. Mayor Willlame did not or der Chief of Police Hunt to enforce it Some Obey, Ordinance. , "I will leave it to the next administra tion." said he. , arAirm wars finally given to saloon and restaurant men to comply with the ordinance. The better clase o them obeyed; indeed, even before there had been any test case these men obeyed th. law. and tore out the objectionable boxes, thus giving notice that they were desirous of respecting in raiuiunw the people. ...

The campaign ended and the newly aiata pnunctlmen -took their seats.

But, on Sep tember , 105, without warning even . -n,a nf tha councilmen themselves. .,ii..iua was Introduced that, if adopted, would repeal the measure that had been wrested from the previous council and which had etood the test of the courts. OonnelUnea Obey Orders. The councilman took orders, from the men who had been responsible for their candidacy and voted for the repeal. It waa accomplished by the passage of another ordinance which, by chang ing one word in section 1 of ths original, nullified practically the entire ordinance and reestablished the previous oonox loua boxee under warrant of law. Mayor Lane vetoed the measure. The council, althougn oy ma veto wmnwi out Into the open, . again took ordere from ths open town leaders and paased the ordinance over the mayor'e veto This is not v-good ordinance that we are adopting to replace the old one,' M the councilmen. "We admit that it ia bad, but we will adopt thla one now and later enact a better one. we do thla to alva the saloons relief." The lone Democrat, Councilman Vaugiin, fought the repeal measure. He charged the otner memDers wnn incon sistency In adopting a remedial measure that they confessed needed remedying. He called the sincerity of the Repub lican members In question. He asked them what uss it was to pass an ordl nance which was branded by its au thors as objectionable. Original Ordlaaaee mepealed. But there was nothing that the Re publican councilmen would listen to ex cept tbe COTTfmanas oi umir puuu masters, and 9i original ordinance was renaaled. 1 - L Many of the proprietors of the better class or places aavisea n sucn action and desired to respect the wishes of the people and the decisions of the courts. They were overruled, however, and the noen town forces won. - Then CounenrnefT"BeTrneTT'snd Wills later introduced an ordinance that was to remedy the situation, and Council man Vaughn Introduced one. The naasurea went to the ilquor ltcen committee and were debated. Vaughn's ordinance waa reported favorably to the council, which promptly killed It The Bennett-Wtlle ordinance was then Lreported favorably, but, on the motion Of. Councilman jonn Annana, seconaea bv Councilman Beldlng, this, too, waa killed - . There were other box ordinances be fore 'the council at that time.- All of these ware laid on the table.. Even Councilman Gray, who had one of his own before the council, helped to kill the entire lot of remedial measures. Oontrao.
