SECRET SERVICE IS
IXIIE1I SEARCHLIGHT.
Representative Tawney Will Ask for
Complete ln estimation of the Se
cret Service of the Government mill
fur the IiihIuIIiiIIoii of n New Sys
tem Inefficiency In Charged.
Washington, Feb. 8. Represen
tative Tawney has decided to demand
that congress Investigate the secret
service branch of trade to determine
why the government has put In vogue
without the due authorization of law
a secret spy system that Is In essence
a replica of the system employed by
Fiuiche during the reign of Napoleon.
Mr. Tawney several days ago took
occasion to denounce the system. He
declared that congress was not going
to permit It to obtain In the govern
ment as It was Inimical to every idea
of a republican form of government,
was accomplished against the direct
provisions of the laws and the con
stitution and would be provocative of
fastening upon the government If per
mitted to obtain now, the Inculcation
of Ideas and methods that congress
had already frowned upon many
times.
It Is the Intention of Representa
tive Tawney to take up the Investiga
tion In the committee on appropria
tions when that committee takes up
consideration of the sundry civil bill.

Expense of the secret service men be
Investigated most thoroughly and that
the men themselves be called upon to
testify as to their employment. He
finds that the law Is explicit upon the
subject and that this branch of the
service can be used only for the pur
pose of the treasury department.
It Is charged that every time there
Is a scandal in government circles
Wllkle's men are ready to take the
matter In charge. In the postoffice
scnadals Mr. Wllkle's plan to take
charge of that Investigation was turn
ed down.
It Is asserted that despite their
guard upon President McKlnley they
were unable to stop his assassination.
When President Roosevelt took office
he wanted to dispense with their serv
ices as guard, but he was persuaded
to use them despite the fact that
their use Is contrary to law.
It Is asserted that Instead of using
this branch of the service for pur
poses other than those of the treasury
department, the work done by the
secret service should be done by pri
vate detectives, and to this end Mr.
Tawney will move.

ANTI-SCALI'IXG LAW VALID.
Justice llalley Writes Opinion of Su-
1 preinc Court.
The Salem Statesman gives the fol
lowing notice of the decision of the
supreme court on the antl-scnlplng
law of Oregon:
State of Oregon, respondent, vs. C.
K. Thompson, appellant; appeal from
Multnomah county, A. L. Frazer,
Judge; affirmed. Opinion by Justice
Hailey.
This Is an appeal from a judgment
of conviction for violating the antl
scalping act, and appellant attacked
tho constitutionality of the act.
The opinion declares that the effect
of the act Is to prohibit ticket brok
erage, as it confines the right to deal
In transportation to the railroads or
their agents, and further declares that
It is clearly within the police power
of a state to enact such a law as the
one In question, and has so been held
by the highest courts of many of the
states. The act is thereforo declared
valid. '

"If sheep and wool continue to ad
vance uunng the next two years a
iney nave in the last year, . Oregon
soecpineu wm oecome millionaires,'
said William Rea, Jr., of St. Paul
aiiim., wnose rirm ai.,, daily buys
thousands of Oregon sheep and ships
them to Montana ranges. He arrived
In the city en route to Heppner, w here
he will buy several large flocks of
mixed yearlings or lambs, says the
uregon uany journal.
"I would estimate that Oregon will
market about 250,000 head of sheep
this year," continued Mr. Rea at the
Portlund hotel. "That Is about the
same as for 1905. but you must take
into consideration the fact that thous
ands of sheep were shipped out of the
state last fall, w hich was a little un
usual. It they were still In the state
this year's product would more than
equal last year's unusually high to
tal. "Mixed yearlings, or lambs, as we
call them, are bringing about $2.75 a
head this year In Oregon, as compared
with about $2.12 --2 for 1905, and It
costs us 60 cents a head to ship them
to Montana. Wool is being held at
20 cents a pound, and I guess the
sheepmen will get their price. Last
year the average sale price In Oregon
was from 16 to 18 cents. One or two
clips went off at 20 and 22 cents, but
they were exceptions.
"With sheep nt $2.75 a head and
wool held at 20 cents a pound, ami
Oregon ranges covered with about
250,000 head for market use, you can
readily see whnt is becoming of your
sheepmen. They are making money
hand over fist, and have been doing
It for two years. On the other hand,
the cattle men are having a hard time
of It. Stock on hoof Is low and keeps
sliding down the scale a few cents at
a time. Where it is going to stop I
do not know.
"Montana Is fast becoming the
greatest sheep state In the country.
And with Its growth In that direction
the cattlo raising business Is on the
wane. At one time Montana staked
Its wealth and reputation on placer
mines and cattle. Today It Is sheep,
and gold quartz and copper mines.
The state Is growing enormously rich
every year. Oregon Is fnst approach
ing Montana's sheep standard, and
ought to equal It. In proportion to
their relative sizes. In the near fu
ture." Wrecked Car Known Here.
The Pullman car "Galatea." which
was wrecked at Bridal Veil Tuesday
morning, was the first car to run Into
Pendleton on the Spokane train after
the Pullman service was Installed on
the Pendleton-Spokane run. The car
continued to run into this city regu
larly for over 11 months and was
transferred to the main line and Spokane-Portland
runs but a short time
ago. Pieces of wood from the rem

among railroad men In this city to
