Washington, Jan. 11. (Special.) Attempts arc being made In congress to divert nttentlon from the necessity for tlie repeal of the desert land law and other land laws through the in troduction of numerous bills amend ing and modifying those acts. Instead of striking them from the statute hooks as was recommended by tho senate puhllc lands committee of the last congress. One 'of ;hcso measures which has been heinlded as a cure for nil the fraud and land nb sorption under the desert land act Is a bill recently Introduced by Senator Hnmbtough of North Dakota amend ing this act. This HanMinnigh bill limits a des ert land entry to ICO acres Instead of 320 acres ns at present. It also re peals tho assignment clause .to the desert act. which clause was added to the act In the early nineties. Would Accomplish Nothing. While appearing to bo Important concessions to the advocates of land law repeal, these proposed changes In reality amount to practically nothing, and when studied In their probable effect show the real attitude of tho Interests which are bending every ef fort to prevent or modify legislative action that would cut on" opportuni ties for the acquirement of govern ment land In large tracts and without settlement or residence. The cutting down of the acreage from 3211 to l'j) acres simply menus that speculators desiring to secure land under this act would have to employ double the number of entry men or dummies. There has never been any difficulty expeiienced in se curing unlimited numbers of dum mies to file on timber claims or on homestead claims under the commu tation clause, each of which Is limit ed to ICO acres, and enormous un broken tracts, In many cases as great as under the desert land act with Its 320 acre limit, have under each of these laws passed Into speculative or corporate ownership with no sign of permanent residence. It must bo pre sumed that this proposed reduced desert land acreage would operate likewise. The repeal of the "assignment clause" can also be regarded with complatewy by the land grabbers. The enactment of this elause, as stated, was comparatively recent, nud the desert land law had before tnls flourished for years like a green bay tree, building up dozens and scores of great feudal estates In the West, without settlement and without any homes, just as It will continue to do even with Its assignment clause ie moved anil Its acreage reduced by one-half. Incurable Defect in Desert Law. The vital dereet of the desert land act and one which cannot be remedied except by lepeal, lies In the fact that no residence and no hoincmaking is required on the land. Tho land "an be given n little water and made io produce a crop of the wild srxss growing thereon, without plowing i.r cultivation or other improvement, and this Is held to be compliance wlh DISCRIMINATING LADIES.

Here Is a Pendlotou woman who Indorses this claim; Mrs. George Hays, living at No. 223 Ulleth street, corner of West Bluff street, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers from backache and other kidney troubles, with utmost confidence that they will do everything that has been claimed for thein by those who have used them as well as. by tho makers. Tho trouble for which I used them was principally backache, with which I had been bothered off and on for a long time. It hurt me badly when I stoopod to do any housework that caiibcd a stralu on the back. I read an advertisement about Doan's Kid ney Pills and decided to try tbeni, feeling that they could do no barm, oven if they did no good.

If Senator Hansbrough will Intro duce an amendment to tho desert land law, cutting it down to 160 acres and providing for an actual five years' residence before title passes from the government to tho settler, then ho National Irrigation association and the other friends of the national Irrl gallon movement will accord It their hearty support. Such an amendment would spell "repeal." RAILWAY VALUATIONS. Interstate Commerce Commission Makes Report to Congress. In the advance sheets of Its renort. the Interstate Commerce Commission says of railway valuations: Tho commission calls attention to the Importance of a trustworthy val- nation of railway property In tho United States, as tho Judicial rules for tho determination of reasonablo rates for freight and passenger tral- fie lay stress upon tho fair value of the roads whose rates aro the rub- Joct of complaint. Closely connected with the question of reasonable rail- way rates Is the question of reason- able railway taxation. In view of considerations stated In the report, the commission roconi- mends that tho congress take this matter under advisement. Of tho va - rlou3 methods of valuing railway property, tho one which seems to meet most nearly the necessities of the situation calls for a complete and detailed Inventory ot both physical and nonphyslcal values. Tho other methods which come In- to competition with the Inventory method are, first, the acceptanco ot the book Items of cost of road and equipment and such other Items as appear on tho assets sldo of tho bal- ance sheetB as standing for tho yaluo of railway property; or, second, the acceptance of the market price of railway obligations 'as a measuro of that value. Tho salient features of the several methods are discussed 'n, the report. CHILD KILLED BY LIVE WIRE. School Boy at Lewlston Meets In. stant and Awful Death. Lewlston, Jan. 11. Bcnnle Hlggs, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George I). Klggs, met InBtant death jesterday during tho noon hour by coming In contact with a live electric light wire near the corner of Eighth street and Sixth avenue on Normal hill. Tho lad was on his way to school and but a few moments before had received his mother's parting caress. At the Intersection of tho Btrects there are two electric light poles and the wire between theso had parted. 1 The live wire extended from tho oplc to the ground on the Eighth street side and occupied a position across a pathway on a vacant lot at ' the corner of the Frank -Morris resl demo. The boy evidently reached and picked up the wiin with the In tention of removing It from the path when he received the shock that caused h!s death.
