B. Heyburn, who is a business visitor in Lewiston, Ida' ho, and was asked by a reporter of the Daily Teller of that place what measures Important to Idaho would be advocated by him during the next session of congress. "The land court bill is important to every state where large ' sections of the public domain are located and was Introduced last winter and is now before the committee. I shall rein troduce this bill at the coming ses sion and while it will take some time to secure its passage. I shall labor until It becomes a law. "By the provisions of this proposed act a federal land court will be estab lished before which all questions be tween entrymen and the government will be determined. At the present time there is to close a relationship between the executive department and the department of justice in the han dling of the government lands -and their distribution and because of this condition many of the controversies have been determined by clerks in the department offices who may have had no particular knowledge of the law or of the legal rights of the par tics concerned.

"To Illustrate Just what Is Intended, the cities of the state of Idaho are now paying for Eastern freight the rate from the shipping point to Se attle back to Idaho. The new bill will place all cities upon an equal footing." Senator Heyburn was asked how a proposition would be received by congress to condemn the Clearwater river as a navigable stream for the purpose of Improving the river for logging and mill operations. . "Navigable rivers cannot be con demned," replied Mr. Heyburn, "and from the Information I have been able to secure the citizens of the upper river country are adverse to having the river closed to navigation. "It has been the policy of congress never to close a river that has been designated as a navigable stream, but It often seeks to Improve streams so that they may be navigated. If the people of the upper river believe the Clearwater acts as a governor of freight rates, It would be unjust to them to close the river for any par tlcular section of the state or for In' dividual Interests. "I believe, however, that If the peo ple here wanted to Install a dam with locks that would permit steam ers or other craft to pass or If the people at any point desired to con struct a bridge with a draw which would not Interfere with navigation, there would be no serious objections to such Improvements." RESUME LAND FRAUD OASES. Over 30 Case Now Awaiting Trial In Federal Court at Portland. United States Attorney William C. Bristol returned from San Francisco and Los Angeles this morning, after holding conferences with Secretary Garfield and Francis J. Heney In re gard to the Oregon land fraud situa tion, and, It Is expected that a re sumption of the famous Oregon land fraud cases will commence some time In the next two months, says the Oregon Dally Journal. Whether Mr. Heney will come to Portland to participate In the prose cution of the land fraud artists can not be determined at this time, be cause of the great amount of work confronting the noted prosecutor in the graft trials, In San Francisco. Mr. Bristol's trip south Is believed to have resulted favorably for the prosecution, and It Is probable that larger appropriations and additional LAND OUR help will be allotted to the local fed- eral attorney's office. More than 30 land fraud cases are on the docket awaiting trial besides a large num ber of other criminal cases, Including those In which the defendants have reen lying In the county Jail for more than a year without having an oppor tunity of going Into court for trial. , HEROISM OF GENERAL STARK, WJlllnm E. Curtis Writes of tlie Old Uoro of Bennington. William E. Curtis, traveling cor respondent for the Chicago Record' Herald, has spent the past summer lh the mountains of New Hampshire and writes entertainingly of the life and deeds ojf General John Stark, the hero of the revolutionary battle of Bennington, who Is buried at Man Chester, N. H. Mr. Curtis says: A sarcastic yankee once declared that Vermont's greatest battle was fought in the state of New York by Massachusetts militia under the com mand of a New Hampshire man who was guilty of mutiny and treason by disobeying orders when he attacked the enemy and was under censure from congress at the time. This statement- Is somewhat exaggerated, but, nevertheless, comes pretty near to the truth. Stark's family were Scotch Presby terians. His father was born In Glascow and came to this country In 1720, when he settled near the falls of the Amoskeag on the Merrimack river, just above where the town of Manchester now stands. There he lived until his death In 1759, when he was burled in the old churchyard In Manchester. He had four sons and they were all engaged with him In cultivating the farm and running a sawmill one of the first if not ac tually the first, manufactory of any kind upon that river. When John Stark heard the news from Lexington and Concord on the 19th day of April, 1776, he was busy In his sawmill; He gave Instructions to his men to finish the logs that were waiting the saw, went to his house half a mile distant, changed his clothes, bade his wife good-bye, mounted a horse and started for the scene of hostilities. Along the route he was Joined by other patriots, and by the time they reached Medford they went into camp, were organized as the First New Hampshire regiment, and John Stark was elected colonel. At Bunker Hill he deliberately walked 40 yards In advance of his earthworks, drove a stake Into the ground, and told his men to hold their fire until the enemy reached that point. The order was obeyed. Plneules are for the Kidneys and Bladder. They bring quick relief to backache, rheumatism, lumbago, tired worn out feeling.

All the news all the time in the STANDARD OIL'S DISCI Mm AMERICAN' OIL CHEAPER IX EUROPE THAN ,AT HOME. Monopoly 11ns Discriminated Stmnic lessly Agniiist American Coiimuiii- ers, as Shown by the HfMrt of Commissioner of Corporations Smith Below Is Given a Small Part of Ills Testimony Prices Not a Result of Supply and Demand. Washington. Aug. fl. In his re port to President Roosevelt on the petroleum Industry and practices of me Ma nam-a Oil company. Commis sioner of Corporations Herbert, Knox sinun says in part: In the business of selling petrole um products In .foreign countries the price of the Standard Oil comnnnv has apparently been to sacrifice th interests of the American consnmer ror the purpose of securing the Stan- aard s foreign business, which Is n very important one. In 1904 over 65 per cent of the Ulumlnatng oil produc ts! In this country was exported, of which the Standard exported about 7 per cent. The relative movement of oil Drlces as distingushed from their absolute level has shown for the last eight years a startling disparity between the Lulled States and foreign mar kets, particularly from 1902 to 1905. The American price steadily advanc ed from 1897 to 1903. The New York export price advanced much less up to 1903, declining In 1904. and the Hamburg (Germany) price shows practically the same movement as the New York export price, while the London price shows a steady decline from 1901 to 1904 and a very Im portant drop during 1906. The course of American and foreign prices In the last five years covered by this report has shown a greatly Increased -divergence. In general the American prices going up and the for eign prices showing a marked decline. Still more remarkable Is the com parison of the absolute level of prices (as distingushed from their move ment) of the United States and for eign markets. Monthly Prices Compared. It should be noted In comparing ab solute prices of American with for eign markets that a difference of about 1 cent a gallon must be allow ed for on account of the difference In the quality of oil sold In the two markets, water-white oil being the basis of the American prices and standard white the basis of foreign prices. Water-white oil Is worth about 1 cent more than standard white. One cent a gallon should be deducted from the difference between Amerl can prices and foreign prices. The following summary statement shows the averages of the monthly prices for the periods specified after deducting costs and duties: Average United States price (June, 1903, to August, 1906). 10. 3 Average German price (June, 1903, to- August, 1906) 7.3 Exceys of United States price (less 1 cent) ;.'....... 2.0 Average United States price (Jan uary, 1903, to August, 1905)... 10. 5 Average English price (January, 1903, to August, 1905) 7.3 Excess of United States price less 1 cent) 2.2 Average United States price (Oc tober, 1903, to August, 1905).. JO. 4 Average Danish price (October, 1903, to August, 1906) 7.2 Excess of United States price less 1 cent) 2.2 Average United States price (Sep tember, 1905) 9.0 Average Belgian price (Septem ber, 1905) 6.0 Excess of United States price (less 1 cent) . ; 1.1 Average United States price Sep tember, .1905) 9.0 Aveage price In the Netherlands (September, 1906) . . ., 7.0 Excess' of United States price (less 1 cent) 1.0 Similarly for the leading oriental markets: Average net price In Unted States (January, 1903, to May, 1906) 8.4 Average net price in orient (Jan uary, 1903, to May, 1905).... 4.8 Excess of United States price (less 1 cent) 2.3 Not a Case of Demand and Supply. During 1904 and 1906, a period whn the Standard claims that an oversupply existed, that company ac tually took largo quantities of oil In Russia to supply Its trade In Europe and the orient. During 1904 It ship ped from Russia over 1,500,000 bar rels of Ulumlnatng ol for distribution In European and Asiatic countries. It has secured large crude production In Roumanla and has established re fineries there and In other countries for refining foreign 'crudes. It Is perfectly evident that the Standard has not always been con cerned with malntalnng the export trade In American Illuminating oil, but has been solely Interested in main taining Its own domination In the markets of the world, frequently at the expense of the United States. Having a monopoly at home, It has charged such prices as It could there by extort, and the American consum er has had to pay these prices. Meet ing competition abroad, It has given the foreign consumer enormously lower prices, and It has used the profits made at home to maintain Its position abroad, so that the American consumer has been severely discrim inated against for the purpose of maintaining, not the dominance of American export trade, but the dom inance of a particular combination which has used Its power frequently and conspicuously to the disadvan HE COULDN'T BREAK. INTO JAIL, Ho Even Acknowledged Voting the Republican Ticket. For the first time in his Judicial career Probate Judge Worstell of Wallace, was beseeched yesterday af' ternoon by "Red" Watson, a well known-miner, to inflict a 10-day Jail sentence, says the. Tribune of that place. Weston pleaded with the court to send htm up, saying he had been on a bat for about three months, and really wanted to sober up. "It's the only way I can get all the booze out of me." he Hid. . . ! vj':ll When the Judge recovered from his amazement he explained to the min ing man that he could not commit him to Jail unless he had disobeyed some law, and so far as he knew there was no law against filling up and keeping full for any period of time that might be desired. The unfortu nate miner then offered to go out and break a window, start a fight, or do anything that would entitle him to the privilege of the county bastllo. Still the Judge refused, and warned Weston against wilful violation of the law. "But, Judge," he said, "you don't know how It It; I work on the 2200 foot level of the Frisco mine, where It's always wet and cold. I come to the top and I want a drink; one makec me fell like another, and af' ter I've had that I don't care what happens; well. It's been like that for three months now. I've paid out 843 In fines In two months. Being barred from doing mischief In order to get sentenced, Weston tried to convince the court that he was a bad man and deserved to be locked up. "What crime have you committed?" he was asked. "Every one on the calendar," he promptly replied, "and I have voted the republican ticket." Even this did not convince Judge Worstell, and Weston went away grumbling about having paid taxes for 20 years and not being able to go to Jail when he felt like it. Notice.

Five Children Suffered With Fearful Skin Troubles-One Little Girl's Eyesight Was Endangered A Grateful Woman Writes of FIVE PERFECT CURES BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "Cutlcura Remedies saved my two children. My little girl's face was so covered with sores that she could not see and I thought at one time that her eyesight was gone for good. After two doctors had failed to do her any good a friend asked me to try the Cutl cura Remedies. I did so anil in two or three days we could see a great change and in four weeks she was well and her face was smooth and had cured nicely. She had been sore for three months so that she could not rest night or day. My little boy was sore all over. His head was a solid scab. First we tried a doctor who did him no good, but the first time I bathed my son's head with Cuticura Soap and put Cuticura Oint ment on It he rated better at night and the next morning his head was much- better. In five weeks he was well. I cannot say enough for the Cuticura Remedies for if I had not used them my baby would havq died. My little sister, Nora 8 , had a terribly sore face. I told my mother of the Cuticura Remedies. She .used them and the child's face soon got well after the best doctors had failed. Pearl B used Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills for sores on her body and face, and little Pinkey 8 had a sore head. Her mother used Cuticura Soap and Ointment on it and she was soon well. Mrs. Mary Hicks, Sutherland. Dinwiddle Co., Vs., Apr. IS, 1907." ECZEMA ON FACE Cured by the Cuticura Remedies " I had eczema la very bad form .all over my face for the past four months. Physicians in several towns prescribed for it without giving me any results, but four weeks ago I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of one cake of Cuticura Soap, one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and to-day I am perfectly well.
