My last letter left me at Slcamoqs, Junction, on the shore of Shuswap lake. In the heart of the big game country. Caribou, bear and deer are mot uncommon in the mountains near the lake. Craigellachie is not dis similar to a score of other little sta tions. ts only bid for fame lying in the fact that here the line from the e,ast and that from the west meet and here in the fall of 1885 was driven the last spike in the road that bound two oceans with twin bands of steel. Passing through Eagle Pass we drop down abruptly to the Columbia river which, after Shuswap, Squllax, Rcamous and Spatsum has a familiar ring to It, which is very comforting to an Oregonlan. The next stop of any Importance is at Revelstoke, a well built little town of about 3000 popu lation and here the Columbia widens into a chain of beautiful lakes called Arrow lakes. ' The observation car which Is at tached at Revelstoke proves wonder fully popular with the tourists and sightseers. Here, where the railroad pierces the lordly Selkirk range by following the path cut for it by the Illeclllewalt river, the scenery Is mag nificent. Back and forth the track winds and twists, now on one side of the river and now on the other. At one point it Tr0"" ) vv out of the gorge by a double loop, so that you see below you the three tracks up which the fuur laboring engine have brought the train. The train stops for a few moments at Albert canyon so the passengers may get off and look down the perpendicular sides of the narrow cha-m of the turbulent Illecillewaet river, foam-crested and bubble-strewn, 300 feet below. Shortly after passing Albert Canyon 6iTe of the most Imposing sights of the whole tr'p comes into view. It is the great Glacier of the Illecillewaet. It rises, vast and Imposing, with its 3awnlng crevasses and its vast ice field.' On .ill sides the mountain peaks, dominated by the stately snow crowned, glncler-swept Sir Donald, who uprears his lofty head nearly 11,000 feet a-ove the level of the sea. Not far from the foot of the glacier Is an excellent hotel, which Its pa tronized to its full capacity during the summer season. After passing through numerous snowshedr the train emerges upon the Bummit of the Set- kirks. The trlan descends by way of Rogers pass, which is guarded on either side by massive peaks, many of which are glacier-clad. The whole country Is one vast up heaval of mountains and the road creeps along the sides of the Colum m river wnicn flows between the Selkirks and the Rocky mountains. rm me spurs sweep down from the range of mountains on each side and the train constantly dashes In and out of tunnels, rock cuts and snowsheds. The train enters the canyon of the Kicking Horse and for miles pursues that wonderfully picturesque stream thpniiirh .1 , , . "' anea ana gloomy can yons. At Field many tourists paused for a few days to visit beautiful Em erald Lake and to see Toho valley SMTniinriaH on I i- i . ,,. uy PeaK3 mat are ...ur- man iz.uuo reet high. Shortly before arriving at Laggan you come to the great Divide where a mountain born stream comes dashing down th "vuijianiB a Iiari Of n-hnsA flow to the Hudson, while the rest flows to the Pacific. Laggan Is the station for the won netful Lake Louise and the lakos v...,uU, urn, victoria glacier. Lake -ou.te is one of nature's masterpieces. It Is fed by the waters of Victoria gia cier and is of the wonderful blue gren glacial color caused by the sus pension of mineral particles In the water. lianrif is one of the great resorts f-i tourists mid as time goes on will be even more so on account of its scenic attractions and also as It Is the central point of the reserve or park created by the Canadian government. It Is certainly a region of beauty with Its mineral springs, Its towering moun tains. Its shady groves along the Bow river and its splendid drives. Eighty miles to the eastward of Hannf lies Calgary, one of the most wide awake and progressive cities In the whole northwest, but of Calgary I will write In my next letter. FRED LOCKLEY. IIQTKI.

Judge Hanford, in the federal court, yester day granted a temporary restraining order to prevent the state railroad commission from enforcing Its order demanding Joint rates on wheat from O. R. & N. points to Puget Sound ter ritory. The commission was instruct ed to show cause on September I why the Injunction should not be con tinued. Though the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Joined with the O. R. N. in the suit against the state commission, they are not deeply con cerned in the Joint wheat rate. In fact, they would be benefited by the enforcement of the commission's or der, as they would be given an extra tonnage not available In any other manner. The Hill lines, however, are as greatly Interested in the principle of the thing as the other road. If the present fight is decided against the O. R. & N. the Hill roads may at any time be compelled to deliver freight to the Harrlman system on terms disadvantageous to them. By filing the case In the federal courts the railroads have made cer tain that the litigation will not be ended before the Harrlman extension to Puget Sound Is completed. Whether or not this Is a part of the program Is not known, but at any rate, the suit will have that effect DECISION ivi a : Furniture Here You dont see any old style, slow-selling Furniture In this store.

The body of Jerry Quick, who was drowned two months ago In the m'd die fork of the Clearwater near Stltes, Idaho, was found yesterday at place called Skunks point, about mile below the forks of the river. He was In the employ of a civil engineer Ing party. In sustaining the decision of Judge W. R. Ellis df the circuit court for Umatilla county, In the case of W. P. Beser, respondent, vs. Umatilla county, appellant. Chief Justice R. S. Bean, In an opinion rendered at Salem, held the act of the legislative assembly of 1905, "to tax all foreign sheep comlpg Into the state of Oregon for the pur pose of pasturage or being driven through the state." null and void be cause It Is strictly a revenue measure and the sum required to be paid by the owners of foreign sheep, a tax, Is not uniform or levied according to value. The plaintiff Is a resident of Wash ingtdn county and the owner of 100 head of sheep which were being driven Into Umatilla county for the purpose of pasturage In the spring of 1905. The slock Inspector threatened to take pos- session of the sheep and sell them as provided In the act unless the tax of 20 cents a head was paid. In order to avoid seizure and sale the plaintiff paid the tax under protest and there after brought th's action to recover the amount paid on th-j ground that the law endiv which it was exacted was uncrnstitutloiial because not In accord with section 1 of article ft which provides that the rate of as fessment and taxation shall be equal and uniform. The plaintiff had Judg ment In the court below and the de fendant appealed. In deciding the principal Issue of the case, which hinged upon the ques tion of whether the sum exacted oper ated as a tax or. license and whetner the power to regulute and control the pasturage of foreign sheep comes with in the police power of the state, the court holds there Is no doubt that the keeping of livestock within the state Is under police regulation. "The state may prohibit the running at large of such animals," says the opinion, "and compel the owners ro keep them with in their Inclosures, and It hus been held that It may prohibit their "graz ing or being herded within certain pre scribed territory. And. as an Incident to the power to control. It may be that the state can exact a charge of fee for the privilege of allowing stock to run at law- Hut we do not think the law I'.irlir i.i.sl.lenition is of that character. "Generally sneaking, n tnx Is a j barge or burden Imposed on persons o rproperty for tne support oi me -eriunenr or for some specific purpose Authorized by It. A license Is essen tially n grant of special privilege io one or more persons, not enjoyed by cltlzenr generally at least, not en- oyed by the class of citizens to which the license belongs. Wlihin these definitions a mere ax on slieep or non-resmeni u cannot be said to ne a license loiir-, the payment of such tax confers some right or privilege upon such owners which otherwise would net exist. Thy aw Is entitled an act to tux all foreign sheep coming Into the state of Oregon, etc.. nnri simply provides the amount of tax and the manner of Its collection. No special privileges nre granted to the rinn-resldent owner r.y reason or the piiyment of the tax, nop. Is the pay menr of such tax made a condition precedent to the right to bring sheep Into- the state. If indeed, such legisla tion would be valid. Nor does the failure to pay the bix render the pasturing ef sheep In the state legally any more htan the failure of a man to pay taxes upon his farm renders the occupation of rnrmlnir llleital. The law does not pretend to Impose any restraint upon the sheep Industry and no privilege Is granted by Its terms. The burden Imposed Is upon the property and not upon the business, and applies alike to the man who brings his sheep Into the state to pasture thfm on land of his own or that of the government, and the man who brings his sheep Into the state to pasture them on the land of the state. "We are. therefore, forced to the conclusion that It Is essentially a rev enue law and void because the tax Is not uniform and equal nor levied with reference to the value of the property. And such is the conclusion reached by other courts upon substantially the same character of legislation." Rugs, Rugs.

Peter Sampson, a well respected Indian on the Yaki ma reservation, aged about 30, was murdered last night three Unties this side of Fort Simcoe, near the home ot Little Tom. Peter was stabbed a dozen tlmeB In the body, and over the heart, and his head was beaten to a pulp. "There were signs of a fierce Strug tie," said Moses Sampson In talk'ng about the matter, "and blood was be spattered all over the ground In ra dius of 12 or IS feet. I am not sure but It may be that several Italians were In the fight and that all of them were drunk, although there was noth ing to Indicate this theory." Moses said that his brother had a wife and two little boys. He lived over In the Simcoe valley, and never before had any trouble. He would not say whether he had any suspi cions of the murderers, but his man ner, when asked the question Indicat ed that he hnd strong suspicions. The Sampsons are the only Indians on the reservation who raise hops. They were very successful hop grow ers. Reinforcing Culverts. The railroad bridges between Lew lston and Arrow Junction are all to be strengthened by additional piles being driven at all culverts along the route. The reason is that owing to the Increased number of heavy en gines that had to be put on this route on account of the additional trafflo the bridges over the culverts are too light. A pile driver and several loads of piles was set off Saturday at North Lapwal and a force of men will be put to work this week on the rein forcement. Lewlston Teller.
