I Railroad Rate Hill Brings Many of the Corporation Rascals From Vil li, r Cover Foraker Always Ready v, to Defend the Semite Against the Charges of Corporation Control I '.Ik I us Believed to Re Dishonest In Ills Advocacy of Rate Regulation. Government Commission Would Pro- .-4ect Uie Northwest Coast. Following Is the text of the govern ment report recommending wireless telegraph stations for the northwest coast: ' (5) A system of wireless stations should be established, including sta tions at Cape Flattery light. Point Wil son or Point Partridge, Seattle and at the Puget Sound navy yard, and also down the Pacific coast at least to. Gray's Harbor. The commission is adviBed that the navy department has now in course oi building a wireless station at Cape Flattery and that it has already grant ed appropriations for Point Wilson and Seattle. If this be done by the navy department It -will fulfill the re quirements of this recommendation. It is believed by the commission, based upon the assurances of import ant steamship interests on this const, that as soon as the government es tablishes wireless outfits at Cape Flat tery, wireless apparatus will also be Installed on a large number of steam ers on this coast, so that Intelligence can be transmitted from them to. the light house at Cape Flattery and also to this proposed new lifw saving tug at Neah bay. The question of communication was one which played a very serious part In the Valencia disaster. Had there been a wireless apparatus' at Cape Fluttery at that time It Is almost cer tain that rescue tugs could have been at the scene of the wreck by Tuesday evening, at least 12 hours before the rescue fleet actually got there, and If the Valencia had also been equipped with wireless apparatus the rescue tugs could probably have been at the scene of the wreck early Tuesday morning. A letter from Washington, D. C, discussing the attitude of leading sen ators on the railroad rate bill, says: Fiobubly Senator Elklns of West Virginia Is the worst scared member of the senate, on account of the repu tation he has earned. For years Steve Elklns has been listed among the "corporation senators," and hns been regarded as a particular friend of the railroads, possibly because of his large personal holdings in railroad stock. When the rnte fight began, Elklns stood with Aldikh and against the president.' But West Virginia, which suffers more from railroad abuses than any other state In the union, was quick to show its teeth, and after un successful attempts to convince the people of West Virginia that his po sition was right, Elklns finally aban doned the cause he started in to sup port, and has fallen In line with the president. It would have been political suicide for Elklns to have stood pat, for his state Is so overwhelmingly In favor of effective rate legislation that It would have kept him out of office without a moment's hesitation had he not changed his position. Even now It Is extremely doubtful whether Elklns can save himself, for public Is suspl clous of men who repent In the elev enth hour, and West Virginia Is skep tlcal about Elklns' change of front. There Is a general suspicion that he has changed only long enough to se cure another election, for he comes up for re-election next winter. How ever, for the time being Elklns pro fesses to be a staunch supporter of the president In the rate fight, and he can't be Interviewed too often on this topic. If repeated declarations In fa vnr of the rate bill which the presi dent supports will save him, Elklns will be re-elected. But he Is worried over his own prospects. Senator Foraker of Ohio is another man who always Jumps up to enter a denial whenever some senator Intl mates that the railroads control some of the members of the senate. Mr. Foraker enters a disclaimer on his own behalf, and is always particular to say that he believes no member of the senate Is prompted by any but the highest motives in advocating this or that sort of rate legislation. Because he has taken the most rad ical view of any member of the senate on the rate question, a view as far from the president's Ideas as that ad vanced by any man. Senator Foraker has been classed with Senator Aldrlch and Senator Elklns and he seems to be unable to live down his reputation. up which a team wtl Ibe able to as cend at a trot. It will be lighted by electricity from the Hood River Electric Light & Power company by a private wire from town and will be the finest residence about Hood River. ; The end of the summer will see the new $60,000 plant of tho Hood River irrigation district In operation. The company now has 75 mon at work on the ditch and It Is expected that more will be put on later. This will give the apple growing- district better irrigation facilities than It has here tofore had from the old plant, mado necessary by the setting out of many new orchards. ' It Is expected that the Mount Hood rallrond will market some of the ap ple product this year, thuB savlnu growers the long haul by wagon, by-ks wnicn Hie truit is irequently Injured. The proposition of the company 'to electrify it is meetnig with a good deal of enthusiasm by residents of the valley. LOOKED INTO HIS OWN LUNGS. Nervy Font of Wnlln Walla, Man In Surgical Operation. Holding a mirror In his hand while the operating physicians cut open his chest and doctored his lungs was the nervy feat performed by A. E. Pike at the Walla Walla hospital this morning, says tho Lewlston Tribune. Mr. Pike is father of Albert Brighton, a member of the Lee Wlllnrd theatri cal company now appearing at the Binnard in this city. Mr. Brighton received word of the successful operation on his father by long distance 'phone this afternoon. His father has been confined to his bed for over a month, his lungs hav ing become filled with flour dust. For weeks Brighton's father has not taken n full breath, and heart action has been stimulated by injections of morphia. When an operation became necessary the doctors decided it would be unsafe to administer nnaesthetlcs, so the operation had to be performed with the patient In full possession of his faculties. Brighton's father went through the ordeal with a mirror In his hand watching the knife-work of the doc tors. After the operation the patient remonstrated with the physicians be cause they would not permit him to smoke a cigar for the first time since his lungs have been free from the flour dust. j Remnant Sale Every short length in Wash Goods twelve yards and under must go at just One-Half Price.

What Is believed to be the highest steel railway bridge in the world will bo built this spring by the Canon City. Florence. Royal Gorge & Inter urban Railway company, over the Ar kansas rlcer, at a cost of something like $100,000. The bridge will span the famed Royal Uorge at a point di rectlv above the hanging bridge of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad and will be more than 2500 feet above the bed of the Arkansas river. The span will be of the suspension pat tern, of soli. sttel, and will have length of 500 feet. Its cost Is estimat ed at $100,000. The announcement that a bridge is to be built over this piece of moun tain scenery will cause considerable interest in the, eastern states, and It Is believed that many tourists will visit it when completed. Street cars are to run across the span, and It Is purposed to erect a hotel to cost $200,000 near one of Its approaches. States at present is over the Kentucky river In Jessamine county, being 350 river In ejssamlne country, being 350 feet above the low water mark. Boimlit $115,000 Ranch. Spokane parties Saturday closed a deal whereby they acquired the H. R. Wells ranch of 7500 acres at Brown's siding, five miles this side of Prosser, lying partly in Benton and partly In Yakima county. The purchasers paid $65,000 for the land. Yakima Republic. FOR APRIL Found Counterfeiting Outfit. While blasting out stumps on tho right of ways on the west side of the Horn recently, the workmen found a completer counterfeiters' outfit, in eluding tools, a dark lantern, moulds, a lathe and an electro plating outfit. It had evidently been burled a num ber of years as the box which contain ed it had entirely rotted away and all the tools were nearly eaten up with rust. Old residents, say that about 10 years ago a counterfeiter was caputured In this vicinity and "sent up" for a number of years. In all probability this was his equipment. Wahsougal News. SANITARIUM ON IHILLTOP. Boise Capitalists Plan n Health Resort and Car Line. A park of 1000 acres on top of the mountains north of Boise, where there ore springs of pure water gush Ing forth the whole year, a large sail Itarlum for the accommodation of seekers after better health, and winding electric road running from Boise to this place of beauty and rest, forms the basis of a scheme evolved by E. C. Cook and which Is lnoked upon favorably by prominent busi ness men of the city, says the Boise Statesman. It is believed by Mr.. Cook that to erect a sanitarium on top of the mountains mentioned, which would be about seven or eltrht miles from Boise, and build a car line to It, would be one of the most practical Invest ments that could be made in or around Boise, and that. It would be a paying proposition from the begin-n!n-. His idea Is to secure from the gov ernment 500 to 1000 acres of land there and convert It into a park. There Is enough water there, he states, for that purpose. Then to build the sanitarium. The water Is pure, the air Is fresh in the mountains: There Is not a day, he says, during the hottest weather of the summer when the air Is not cool and refreshing.
