Will lie I-iiuui(lel.
Olymplu, Wash., Jan. 16. The
Washington legislature now in session
listened to the biennial message of
Governor Mead last evening. It was
one of the strongest state papers ever
rend before the legislature and Its
recommendations will doubtless re
sult In some valuable und much need
ed legislation.
The subject of open rivers was
thoroughly discussed by Governor
Mead and his recommendations, If
heeded by the legislature, will result
In opening to navigation the Columbia
and Snake rivers to the limit of navi
gation. .
Governor Mend says that one of
the most vital questions which con
fronts the manufacturers and shippers
of Washington Is the failure of com
mon carriers to perform the func
tions for which they were created.
The governor attributes this failure
to lack of rolling stock, motive power
and transportation facilities, particu
larly terminals, sidings and additional
tracks. The railroads declare car
manufacturers are unable to fill
their orders and high wages renders
it impossible to secure labor to con
struct additional trackage.
The shippers, on the other hand,
particularly those engaged In the
shipment of lumber nnd wheat, con.
tend that these conditions have exist
ed for 10 years and that the railroads
are at fault for having constantly
failed properly to anticipate the fu
ture tonnage. The shipper also con
tends that the companies never In
vest more capital In rolling stock
than Is necessary to move the entire
tonnage In 12 months.
The governor says such a policy
might be sound were the commerce of
the state to move on a well distrib
uted manner, but because in Wash- y
uigiun sucn naiance noes not exist, an
inevitable congestion occurs. The en
tire state Is affected by these traffic
restrictions, he says, and some reme
dy must be had which will afford
hlppers protection to their transpor
tation facilities. To this end the gov
ernor urges the enactment of a re
ciprocal demurrage law. He advo
cates the separation of the office of
Insurance commissioner from that of
the secretary of sclate and the elec-
lon of the commissioner by vote of
the people.
SHORTAGE OF MOTIVE POWER.
Tmlnlnnds of Coal nil Track and No
Way to Move It.
A. B. Moss of Payette, presided nt
a meeting held this afternoon In the
Commercial club rooms at which time
the coal situation was discussed by a
number of prominent citizens, i
ports the Boise Capital News. R. S.
Shaw, who visited the different conl
mines a short time ago, which supply
this section, stated that at Rock
springs ne round tne railroad com
pany took most of the coal for com
mercial trade to the east. The su
perlntendent Informed him he was
not allowed to use Union Pacific cars
to ship to Boise, and the best he
could promise for this city would be
one car a week. Since that time Mr.
Shaw said he believes three cars have
been shipped here from those mines.
After sizing up the situation thor
oughly he was of the opinion that
there were plenty of cars and the
trouble really was the lack of motive
power to move them.
At Green River he found over 600
loaded cars In the yard and he talked
the situation over with railroad men
and others at that place and they were
all of the opinion that motive power
was the cause of the yard blockade.
At Dlamondvllle he found the mines
well supplied with cars, but there was
a shortage of men. At Cumberland
there were several trains of coal on
the tracks with no agent to move them
on. He spent one day at Kemmerer
and found plenty of loaded cars and
durlnghe time he was there not to
exceed three trains left the mlnos.
The general opinion seemed to be
that it was a shortage of motive pow
er rather than a shortage of cars
which caused the coal famine. Mr.
Shaw stated he had only received 20
cars of coal since July and had all his
order been filled she should have had
at least 75.
Others spoke along the samo lines
and although it wns admitted that
during the summer the mine operat
ors complained of a shortage of cars
there seemed to ho plenty on hand
during the winter.
The advertised object of the Inves
tigation to find out the names of all
In Boise who had actually suffered for
want of fuel, did not seem to bring
out any Information on that line.
People needed coal but tho talk nbout
suffering Is largely buncombe.
CANADIAN PROSPERITY.
Output nf Products nnd Foreign
Trade Increasing.
Ottawa, Jan. 15. The farmers of
Canuda have had a splendid year nc
cordlnt to figures quoted In a govern
ment pamphlet tvi:d to lay. The
country's mines have produced metals
and cnul ns never before and the out
put of the products of the forest nnd
of tho sen Is greater than during any
previous year.
The production nf wheat and other
grains has been the heaviest In the
history of the country. The wheat
crop shows an Increase of about ?0
per cent, for the larger part of which
PEN
RIVERS
western Canada is responsible. Last
year's western wheat crop was In the
neighborhood of 85,0011,000 bushels,
while for the present year It .will run
to over 90,000,000 bushels.
The report states that one of the
most satisfactory features of Canadi
an trade is that of foreign business,
which Is doubling Itself each year.
Tile report winds up as follows:
"Canada's prosperity is largely due
to the rapid growth of the western
country, the enrichment of western
farmers by the high prices for a
greater volume of product, nnd the
rapid filling of the country by Immi
gration. Its population has been In
creased during the last year by well
over 100,000 Immigrants from Great
Britain, the United States and the
continent of Europe. The major por
tion of there have tuken up land In
the west nnd are now heiplng to build
a remarkable country. Dealing with
umbering and mining, the report
states that the past year has been
the most remarkable In the history of
the country and in Its final statement
as to tne financial condition of the
country' says: "Tim one bank fall
lire, that of the Bank of Ontario, was
the result of bad management and
not of severtl condition". The scarc
ity of labor has had some effect on
the work of railway extension, but
all new works are being pushed for
ward with the grentest possible spcid.
"KERRY COW" WAS GOOD.
Allen Doone and Edna Kclley Appre
ciated aLst; Night
Those who saw Allen Doone play In
"Kerry Gow" at the Frazer theater
last night witnessed something decid
edly different from the usual run of
plays that have been here during the
last month. "Kerry Gow," a sterling
Irish drama and when played by Al
len Doone and Edna Kelley It Is good
to see. Doone Is the Irish black
smith, with the brogue, the ready wit
and the good voice needed for the
part. Edna Kelley would be hard to
excel for the part she plays.
"Ker-y Gow" Is n play that was
presented here by Josepn Murphey.
In Allen Doone that gentleman has a
worthy successor If not a superior for
the particular role In which he ap
pears. Owing to the extreme cold weather
but n small attendance greeted the
play last night. However, those
there were appreciative and many
encores were extended the Irish
lover.
FOUR OFFICIALS OUT.
New Regime. Installed at Oregon's
Capital Building.
Four stnte officials passed out of
office vesterdny, and there was a sin
cere feeling of regret that pervaded
the old capital building from stem to
stern, says the Salem Statesman. The
pleasant Associations formed between
emnlnver nnd emnlove. tho inter
change of friendship between the var
ious officers of state, has grown into
n bond of harmony that is difficult to
break.
Secretary of State Dunbar stated
that while It was with regret that he
was to lay down the reins of office,
yet he would be glnd to lay nslde the
burdens nnd responsibilities nnd take
a breathing spell. He will go to Cali
fornia within a short time, visiting
Monterey and other coast cities. Sec
retary Gatens yesterdny paid a high
tribute to Mr. Dunbar In the follow
ing words: "Mr. Dunbar hiiB proved
a very efficient secretary, one of the
best the state has ever had!" And Mr,
Dunbar has many friends who think
the same thing. He, is succeeded by
Frank W. Benson. 4ho will tnke pos
session tomorrow morning.
Slate Treasurer Moore has not an
nounced his future plans, but will
probably spend considerable time
looking after vast land Interests he
has In this state nnd others. George
A. Steele assumes his mantle.
Judge Thomas G. Hnlley leaves
soon for enstern Oregon, nnd as stated
elsewhere, forms a partnership in the
law business with Governor Chamber
lain. State Printer J. R. Whitney who
set his lost "stick" on Saturday, will
turn over his "30" to Willis Dunlwny.

'impossible to Hrenk Up Secret Pens
Iloeiuise of SKtters Always on
Guard.
The following description of the
gamblers' club In Salem Is applicable
to clubs of the same kind In nther por
tions of Oregon. The statesman snys:
'Is gnmbllng cnrrled on In defiance
of the law In this city?" Is the ques-
Hon asked on all sides by law-abiding
citizens.
There Is no doubt of It. At three
plnces Inst night, n Statesman repre
sentative saw games In operation, and
money change hands In stud poker
and solo. Rut they nre a sly buncn.
these stealthy gamblers. Like mice at
play In the dark, tneir movements
are guarded, and they hnve Inhaled
the useful secrets of certain China
men who conduct gambling dens
about the city, to prevent surprise by
parties who do not understand the
pass-word.
It Is a pass-word Is It? Yes, if
you wish to enter the Inner circle of
the select, and cast your pearls among;
the swine In the games of chance, you
must know the signs prescribed by the
gamblers' club.
Then the gamblers have a club In
Salem? Indeed they have.' and It is
well organized, with many of the well-
to-do and prominent men connected
with It. They call It "recreation" from
the weary routine of their offices, to
have a "little social" game, but this
term "social" developed quite a start
ling fact last night in one place where
a youth of scarcely 19 wns stripped
of over $60 by several members or
society, and he was expected to tnke
the hnnterlng of his friends without
criticism, nnd be a "good fellow."
Perhaps n's startling n phnse of this
gnmbllng proposition as It exists here
Is the tender age of the members of
the club. It Is snld that many of these
youngsters are" Initiated Into the
games by the Chlnnmen, nnd nre
passed on to be full-fledged members
of the club, which apparently has no
name, or materlnl existence, but like
the Ku Klux Klan. they exist by nn
unwritten law, and enrry on their
nightly prowlliiKS by mutunl consent
of those wishing to participate.
Each coterie of players hnve their
"spotter," a man who watches for the
nppenrnnce of nn officer, or nnyone
whom they hnve suspicion Is "laying"
for them. It Is a difficult proposition
to catch them, nnd only by becoming
a "good fellow" and a member of the
club, can a person expect to witness
the card carnivals, and the Interchange
of losses nnd gains, that go Into the
wee sma' hours of the night
Food don't dlgect? Because the
stomach lacks some one of the essen
tial dlgestants or the digestive Juices
are not properly balanced. Then,
too, It Is this undigested food that
