Paris, Dec. 26. The entire press

reactionary newspapers as the La
Llbre Parole and L'Actlon Francalse
consider the attack yesterday on
President Fallieres by an unemploy
ed waiter named Mattis, a fantastic
act without any political Importance.
The president considers the attack
as that of a maniac.
The Mattis Incident wag discussed
In today's meeting of the cabinet and
It was decided "by energetic action

FORM BIG COMPANY '
. FOR CASCARA SALE
Plan Is to Eegulata the Supply
and Demand or the
' . Product. , . .
- ,s . The Pacific Cascara company, com
posed of the largest holders of and
principal dealers in Cascara bark in
the Northwest, has been organized in
Portland with a capital stock of
$250,000.
The ohject of the company, as
stated In the articles of Incorpora
tion is to' buy and sell Cascara bark,
herbs, roots, etc. It Is the purpose
to establish a market value for the
bark to be regulated by the supply
and demand. For some time past
the bark market has been In a de
moralized condition, which, It Is said,
Is not justified 'by the quantity of
bark known to be In existence, and
the regular requirements of the
trade. The only source of supply
f Cascara bark in the world now Is
Oregon and 'Washington.
The officers of the company are:
President, Daniel J. Fry, of Salem;
vice president, VV. .1. WaBSon, of Cen
.tralla; treasurer, Herman Metzger, of
Portland: secretary and manager,
'.William Pollak, of Albany. The dl-
rectors, besides the officers named,
are Adam Wllhelm. of Monroe; I. P.
. Callison, of Centralla; and A. F. Pet
erson, of Toledo. . .
HEARST'S HIRED MEN
; WERE BROUGHT IN
COURT BY JOHN D.
New York, Dec. 26. The case of
: S. S. Carvalho and other officers of
the company that publishes William
' R. Hearst's nowsnauers In thlB city.
' who were arrested last week on the
hiirtrna nf criminal libel brought bV
John U. Rockofeller, Jr., was called"
in court for a nrellmlnary hearing to-
"dnv. It. Is exnectod the case will
come to trial early in January. The
comnlnlnt is based on an article
which aimeared recently In Mr,
Hearst's paper under a Chicago date
line. The headline read "John D.
Rockofeller, Jr., Originated Peonage
dn Stockade, It is Said." The dis
patch told of conditions said to exist
In a t ickndo at Argo, 111. The bring
ing of the charges is regarded as a
couv.'r-nttnck by the Rockefellers,
again wboin and the Standard Oil
iuterests the Hearst papers hnve long
wnged a bittur warfare.
W. B. Sherman, the well-known
timber man of Grants Pass, Or., is
much Interested and is well informed
in regard to the effect of the removal
of the tariff from all foreign timber,
this subject now being before con
gress, says an exchange. In speaking
of the matter he said that In bis opin
ion the onlr timber that would have
any immediate effect on our Inter
estts would be that from the domain
of Canada.
"Were the tariff taken from the
Canadian lumber," said Mr. Sherman,
"no doubt the lumber yards of the
Central and prairie state, where a
large proportion of the output of the
coast has heretofore been marketed,
would be rapidly flooded with the
Canadian product. If so, the Paclfle
coast would have the Pacific coast
only for her market.
- "This, no doubt, would close down
many not only small, but large mills,
and would materially depreciate the
value of our hundreds of billions feet
of standing timber.
"The Canadian government has
disposed of its timher in an entire
ly different manner from that adop
ted by our government. Instead of
having Bold her timber to her sub
jects In 150-aore tracts at 12.50 par
acre, as our government has done,
the Canadian governtnent nas allow
ed the Weyerhaeuser and other large
timber companies to go In and stake
off, not only tens, but hundreds of
thousands of acres of their timber
land.;. ..
