were the genuine thing, procured for the

PETTIOREW TALKS.
Will Not Stand in th Way of Tariff
Legislation.
New York, March 12. Senator Pet-
tlgrew, of South Dakota, said today
in an interview-:
'The first rilver republican senators
Mantle, Jones of Nevada, (,'annon, Tel-
ler and myself will not do anything
to hinder the adoption of a protective
tariff law. There are a number of dem
ocrats who will be Just as considerate
If there Is an attempt to organize the
senate we may be in session all sum
mer, and If there is a serious effort
to seat the three new- senators that
have been appointed, a great breach
will be opened and the tariff and ev-
erythlng else may be lost sight of.
There Is also talk of passing other leg
islation than the tariff and appropria
tions. It Is my opinion that It is un
derstood that the senate will not be
recojnlxed; that the new senators by
appointment will not be seated, and
that there will be no general legisla
tion. In that event the way Is clear'
for the early passage of a tariff law.
ANOTHER BIG RAFT.
San Francisco, March 1. Captain H.
B. Robertson, who gained fame by
building an Immense log raft, has left
for Portland to arrange for the con
struction of another raft this summer.
J. F. Kennedy, a local lumberman. Is
assouated with Captain Robertson.
The two gentlemen are negotiating for
a large lot of logs to be delivered at
Stella, Washington,, where the raft
is to be constructed. The company U
known as the Robertson Raft Co.. ard
has been organized by local people.
As lumber Is so cheap now It hardly
pays to bring It by vessels and the
attempt will be made to bring the lo;s
to this city In a raft.
