THE COMMERCIAL CUJB. At the annual meeting of the Commercial club. Monday night, u was wisely decided to continue al.ir; business rather than spread-eagie or even sacial lines. The Commercial c.-b is for business, for work, fjr development of Enterprise and "Wal-; i-. nomrv nor for social line- ment, not a school of poUtics and oratory. The club has beai successful alon; ; its present Unes in accomplishing whatever it has undertaken. And it i has beei free of factians and jea'.-1 ou'ies. no doubt because it hasbeeij a purely business affair. j The club is democratic m i'-s j XDembe-ship. for every citizen of the ! town is a member by virtue of tis citlzenahip. and as such is entitle! j to attend and participate in the gen eral club meetings, if any shouid be ; . -v.- ro held. Above &u ne nas uie nf,. , attend the annual organization meet-; ing and help select the officers who choose the executive or governing rotrmlttee that doe3 the work. From j that time until the next annual meet-; irg the executive committee is the: club as far as action i3 concerned. The executive committee, to put it ; tersely, is the Commercial club ; stripped down t3 fighting weight, , This is the same working principle ; as that of a private corporation, that j has been said to be the most effici-j ent method of conducting business. . private or public, that the wit of j man has devised. 1 This long explanation of the plan j of the Commercial club is givej es-! pecially for the bene Tit of the many j newcomers in our city, who have : wandered at the absence of "hooray j meetings" that usailly accompany j the workings of such bodies. j There Is more work cut out for the ; club this coming year than ever be-j fore in its history, and whosoever , President MiUer may designate as hisi executive committee, should have the loyal Eupport of every citizen, for ; they will be devoting their time, and I doing the very best they know how, ! for the general welfare, for your and j my interests as well as their own. ; Let every knocker be conspicuous by j his absence. If any man has any i idea for the betterment of the town, j let him go to the officers or members, of the committee; and if any Tn n ! Has a groucn let nun oo usewise. ; ron Buealer With hustling, unselfish officers, j 7.

Governor Mapoon, oi the provisional govern ment of Cuba, in his annual report to the secretary of war, brings his at tention to the wreck of the tTnited States battleship Maine in Havana harbor and recommends that the government take immediate steps to accomplish its removal without fur ther delay. He savs: ""It wi.l be necessary In a short time to begin dredging in order to provide proper anchorage for the large amount of shipping now enter ing the harbor, unless the wreck is removed. "Even more important than this obstruction to navigation is the fact tnat this wreck, although it contains the bodies of 63 American seamen, or what is left of them, is apparent ly abandoned and forgotten by the government and people of the Cnited States. Thousands of Americans and and other nationalities annually en ter the harbor of Havana and prob ably not one omits to express regret and censure lor the deplorable spec tacle. "It has become a nationtJ reproach and an international scandal. The neglect to remove the wreck is at tributed by many, especially the large Spanish contingent in Cuba, to the fear that its removal will dis close the fallacy of the popular be lief that the Maine was destroyed by a torpedo or mine Instead of an in terior explosion." Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, a chairman of the public lands com mittee, is author of a bill, recently introduced, which is intended to re peal the timber and stone act, and forever put an end to the sale or dis posal of public timberlands. The bill is drawn in line with the conserva tion policy of the President, and makes a blanket transfer to the For est Service of all jurisdiction over the entire timbered public domain, reserved and unreserved. The Nelson bill is of such import ance and proposes such a radical change in existing law, that it stands no chance of passage this session. The proceeds from sales of public timber shall be divided, one-fourth to go to the state territory, to be ex pended under the direction of the Legislature for roads and schools in the counties where the timber sold was located at the time of sale. In those states affected by National rec lamation act the remaining 75 par cent of the money shall go into the reclamation fnnd, but in other states it goes into the general treasury fund. Secretary Garfield has received many complaints from Western Sen ators and Congressmen about the manner in which land office special agentB have harassed entrymen who have been endeavoring honestly to acquire title to public lands. One of the most vigorous p'otestants has been Senator Borah, of Idaho, who has cited specific instances in which special agents have not only failed to carry out instructions with refer ence to assisting honest setlers, but have gone to the extreme of under taking to dispossess Bettlers, without authority of the Interior Departmen'. He also cited instances where specirl agents, continuing along the linos ia vogue under Secretary Hitch 'oc' , had done their utmost to dis-ret" t honest settlers who were making ev ery endeavor to comply with the law. Secretary Garfield has spacifically stated that special agents are not to place obstacles In the path of henest entrymen, but must render them all proper asistance. An early decision has been prom ised in the case now before the su preme court involving the question : of whether the more stringent laws ' of Oregon regulating the use of r vuiu-iuu". uumiuaic the leasers laws of Washington, cov ering the same pursuit. The case is that of a Washington fisherman, who, while violating no law of his own state on fishing In the Columbia with a purse-net was made to answer in Oregon courts which hold it an offense. The bill - providing an appropria tion of J 5 0.0 00 for the establish ment of two fish hatcheries on Puget Sound, was brought before the Ben ate by Senator Piles and passed. The bill has already passed the house. The secretary of the interior has nrged congress to pass a bill In the interest of reservation Indians who : have taken allotments which have turned out worthless. He urges the passage of a bill permitting Indians to relinquish unsuitable lands and select in lien lands of equal area from the unappropriated portion of the reservation. He insists that the Indians are entitled to the best lands of the reservation, prior to the open- ErUKDENB'JRG CN TRIAL Art-wW of SrCinc ClrreUnd Article Nut Urine, br Ex-rrrskk-ni. N.w Tnrk Jan 15.

WO lirtcrn to California Soon After . Inaugural Ceremonies. ! Olympla, Jan. 27. Governor-elect : Cosgrove arrived here today in his '. private car from California. I He was accompanied by his wife j and R. Fitzgerald, who is private j secretary to Paul Shoup, but in this i instance acted for the Southern Pa-1 ciflc in making a speedy trip to ! Olympia and return. Howard Cos-! grcve met his father in Portland and accompanied him to Olympia. The governor looks and says he ! feels much better, but owins to his physical condition there will be no elaborate inaugural ceremony. j Chief Justice Rudkin will admlnis ter the oath. It is customary for the incoming ' governor to formally take over the ' office at a joint meeting of the house and senate. The outgoing governor reads his message to the joint assem bly and the newly elected governor is then sworn in and the legislators listen to his message. Governor CoEgrove's stay in Olym pia will be brief, and after he is sworn in he will turn the office over to Lieutenant-Governor M. E. Hay and return to California. While Lieutenant-Governor Hay is acting governor, Senator A. S. Ruth, of Thurston county, will preside over the senate. The train which carried the gov ernor north is the first to pass over the brnak in the railroad line near Orland, Cal., w hich had closed this line for several days. A. B. McIUiilfy Head.
