ROVAt BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. A BILL FOR A RAIL ROAD COMMISSION Portland Chamber of Commerce Draws Bill and Submits It for Examination. A bill will be offered at the next session of the Oregon legislature, which proposes to create an Oregon railway commission, with fall power to regulate the railroads within the state. The transportation committee of the ' D-.vlan.4 Plia iiilmp . flinimnvmi has ' drawn snob, a bill and submitted copies of the same to the governor and members of the legislature, who have been asked to examine and make sug gestions concerning it. No attempt has been made to be original in framing the bill. The bill submitted follows closely the most reoent and intelligent form of legislation, par ticularly the interstate commerce acta as amended at the last session of congress. It provides for recipro cal demurrage, requires that adequate equipment be famished and commen surate service rendered, that all trans portation charges be reasonable and jnst. Discrimination, giving aud ac cepting rebates are prohibited under heavy penalties. An anti-pass clause is Incorporated, excepting from its operation the privileged persons listed in either the int rstate or Wisconsin acts Every railroad is reqnired to file od the first Monday in February of each year, a verified list of all passes, mileage books and tickets issued free, together with the names of the recipients, the amounts re ceived, and the reason for their is enance. Wide latitude Is given the railroad companies in the matter of issuance of transportation, excepting for politic! purposes. They may handle free or at reduced rates, freight for tho United States, the state or any muni cipality, fur chari table or exposition purposes, house hold goods of their employes, or the issuance of tnibago, commutation or excursion tickets, providing there is no discrimination.

The railroad commission is to be furnished with a fleiible law, that will authorize it to fix reciprocal de murrage laws. Section Vi of the proposed law is in these sweeping terms: "Kvery railroad is hereby required to furnish reasonably adequate ser vice, equipment and facilities, -and th charges made for any service ren deied or to be rendered in the trans portation of passengers or property for any service in connection therewith or fur tne receiving, switching, de livering, storing, elevation and trans fer in transit, ventilation, refrigera tion, or icing or handling of inch property, or for union depot or termi nal facilities, shall be reasonable and jnst, and every unjust and unreason able charge for such service is pro hibited and declared to be unlawful." These regulations apply equally to sleeping and private car companies, terminal and switching bridge com panies. The railroad commission shall con sist of three members, appointed by the governor and ratified by the senate, with a alary of t-t0A0 a year. The term of office of each commis sioner except the ones first appointed for two years, shall be four years. He shall not he pecuniarily interested in any railroad, or hold any other office, or pursue any other business but devote his entire time to the duties of his office, and a bond of 110,000 will be required, and ihe ci'in mission must maintain permanent offices at the state capital. In an opinion rendered by the attor ney general in reply to a bequest from County Superintendent Amos S. John son, of Curry county, concerning creation of new or alteration of old district lilies or boundaries, he holds that there is no power to change or alter the boundaries of a school dis trict or to create a new district at the present. This state of Bffairs is due to a joggling of the laws by past leg islatures. Dtafncii Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot ri'Hi'n tne nisesaea puruou 01 i . There is only one way to core -deafness, and that is by constitutional re medies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed couditition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumhling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flitniniiition can be takou out and this tube restorel to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of 10 are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing hut an in tinned condition of the mucous sur faces.

Let the wuter reboll for a minute or two lifter the brass bus been put lu. see tliut the article Is well rubbed with the soapsuds, then lift Into another pan und pour clean boiling wuter over it. After Kteepiug for u couple of min utes in this rinsing wuter take out and dry curcftiliy. No subsequent rubbing or polishing, it Is claimed, should be necessary. This method Is advocated for all kinds of lacquered goods and Is also reconiiue:uied for ormolu. ' IIoit in tlore Hole In ().

It's Fuel that's Expensive Not the Stove A Cheap, putty-jointed stove will waste more than Its Original Cost in Fuel every winter. As you know, all fuel, soft coal, hard coal, lignite, wood and cobs contains a large amount of gas fully one-half the carbon available for heat in soft coal is gas the entire gas supply used for fuel and illumination in many cities and towns being made from common soft coal. The ordi nary stove in burning soft coal allows this gas-half of the fuel to pass up the chimney uuburned, thus wasting it as a heat producer. Cole's Original Hot Blast Stove, by means of the patented Hot Blast draft and other . patented features, making air-tight joints without the use of stove putty, distills this gas from the upper surface of the coal, utilizing it as a heat producer along with the fixed carbon or coke in the coal, thus burning all the coal. Cole's Original Air-Tight Wood Stove on account of the patented construction without the use of stove putty holds back the gases in wood and lighter fuel until burned. This is why Cole's Original Heaters Cm -tn IB-M M'J'I . 5ho. Co..'. R IS Save the Dollars and make a ton of common $3.00 soft coal or lignite or a cord ot wood do twice the work of other stoves. Your old stove and imitation Stoves are not air-tight, do not save the escaping gases and do not give you a warm houw at night, because they are made with putty joints. uu cannot afford to say to yourself, "My old stove will have to do this winter." The old stove is eating up the price of a new stove every year. Not only that, but on top of the cost is the unsatisfactory result it gives. It is always out the coldest morning. Even Heat Day and Night Fire Never Out Cole's Hot Illast Coal Stoves and Air-Tight Wood Stoves are so per fect in construction that fire keeps all night, and when the draft is opened in the morning will burn two or three hours with the fuel put in the night liefore. No other stoves do this. I'ire, therefore, never gS"S out, and the rooms ure kept at an even temperature all the time.
