"I shall again introduce the land
court bill and the bill providing an
amendment to the present long and
short haul clause," said United
States Senator Y. 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.
"The amendment to the' long and
short haul clause will provide for an
equitable freight rate to all points of
the railroad systems and eliminate
the possibility of discrimination. By

there is a vast difference

SHORT RAUL LAW
its terms In no case shall atranspor
taton compay charge more for a short
haul than for a long haul where the
chort haul is within the territory of
the long haul.
"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.

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

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.

I will not be responsible for any debts

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.

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. Nettie Helgeson, Ridge
