ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK PRESENT ISSUE A PRINCIPLE. Muat First Dttormiiw Legality of Control. Special to Inter-State News. Washington, Doc. 22.—Whatever rate legislation la passqd at the present ses atan la aure to meat with .a whole lot of criticism. As matters stand now with rata legislation forced upon congress against the will, of many Influential Isadora, a compromise till will in all probability be the Outcome. It will be noticed by those who have taken the trouble to follow the case carafuUy, that pfe 1 . president has not committed himself to a measure but to a principle. He haa not set the seal of nla approval on any particular bill, but "• boa In his speeches laid down the broad proposition that the railways are the highways of this country, that they are not and cannot be considered as private property. They are too essen tial to the wellbeing of the people for the federal government not to have them under strict control. This la the view that the railways bave steadily combatted. To once con ceed the point would ultimately lay them open to real control. And this Is the thing they will avoid at any price. Now If the president succeeds In the present struggle In establishing this one point and that point is upheld by the supreme court, to which It un doubtedly will be carried, he will have WHY BUY MCCLURE'S McClure's Magazine Is bought and read in homes not because it is a mag asine, but because It Is the magasine.

Agent |4 Second Street, WaUa Walla, Wash, put in the wedge for real federal super vision, U to a matter of comparatively small moment whether rate legislation at this session is of a sort that will cure ex isting evils. Probably It will not be. But If it establishes the point that the government has the right of control over the railways as something vital to the well being of the nation, then It will have done all that can be reason ably expected of It. Extreme measures cannot be taken at a leap without caus ing alarm. But with the principle of governmental control once established, it wtfl be but a step toward working that principle out Into effective legisla tion. Lsavss City in 15 Minutes.

SHORT UNE DOWN SNAKE Boise Statesman Springs New Railroad Rumor. That the Oregon Short Line will ex tend Its Mackay branch to the Salmon river and down that stream and the Snake to Lewiston to the latest railroad rumor sprung by the Boise Statesman. There to no more Inviting field for railway building than is afforded in the counties of Custer and Lemhi, says th< Statesman. They are rich in many re sources, but especially in those mir.» products which make heavy tonnage for railway lines. It to very freely predicted by competent authorities fa miliar with the mineral resources of that section that, if a railway be con structed through there, the silver-lead districts of the two counties will eclipse the Coeur d'Alenes. There are a large number of ledges of great size carry ing ores high grade In both silver nnd lead. Some of these properties have been extensively developed and have tens of thousands of ore blocked out. It has been Impracticable to mine those ores because they will not bear transportation to the railway, while smelting on the ground has been ex pensive. Much ore has been treated there, the bullion being hauled out, but the conditions under which the busi ness has been conducted has rendered It discouraging, though some of the properties so worked have proved vqry profitable. But ail the, known properties in half a dozen districts would be worked vigorously If shipping facilities were at hand and the districts would attract the attention of ,mining men from all sections. This is especially true in view of the high price of lead and the Increasing price of silver. Will Develop Sea Foam Mines. It is said of the Sea Foam district that it has a showing far beyond any thing found on or near the surface In the Coeur d'Alenes, and where devel opment has been done the results are such as to warrant the statement that the ore shoots maintain their size and value as they go down. In that district men have kept up their assessment since 1881. There Is probably no other district in the country where such a thing has been witnessed excepting In cases In which the property was in the producing section and the work was kept up by men having an opportu nity to find employment In near-by mines a portion of the time. There has been no production at Sea Foam for many years and not much at any time, but claim owners have gone in regu larly year after year and performed their W'ork because they know thev will have fortunes If the country ever be opened by a railway. The recent heavy investment ove*- in the Gilmore district in Lemhi by J. D. Wood and Frank J. Hagenbarth snows what hard-headed mining men think of the lead belt that traverses the two counties. They are 80 miles from a railway, but they propose to develop their property and be prepared to ope rate It when a market for their ores shall be secured. Probably they will be able to ship much. Just as the Gil more Is doing, but they must bava transportation in order to operate the mine as it should be worked to return them satisfactory returns.

Washington, Dec. 22.— A determined effort will be made at this session of congress to modify the laws relating to Chinese exclusion. A great many eastern people, whose sympathy bus been aroused for the oriental nations on account of the plucky stand made by Japan In the struggle with Russia, are determined to try to force through congress laws permitting Chinese and Japanese to enteer the United States under no restrictions whatever, ercept those relating to Immigrants from European nations. In fact, it to In tended to place China and Japan in this respect on the same plane as Eng land, France, Germany. Norway and Sweden. A majority of the senators and representatives from the northwest will bitterly oppose a modification of this law. President Roosevelt seems to bo a believer In a modification of the law, and so expressed himself in his mes sage. Representative French, a mem ber of the house committee on immi gration, will do everything possible In the committee and In the house to de feat the proposed measure. In a state ment last week, he gave as his reason for his position on this question hto belief that the Chinese are as a race opposed to our ideals and life; that they would never harmonize with our institutions as Europeans do; that th <;y are of different blood and traditions and would be a disturbing factor es pecially in the west: that their wages in this country would be so small that they would practically drive the Ameri can laborer out of the market : and that they would always tend to destroy the ideals of American living. Important Committee Places. Burton L. French has been promoted to the committee on immigration and public lands. These committees are two of the most important to Idaho that Mr. French could possibly have secured, and Idaho is indeed fortunate in having her congressman on these important places. As a member of the immigration committee, he will be able to do much to prevent a repeal of the Chinese exclusion law. And as a mem ber of the committee on public lands, he will be better able to look out for the Interests of the state in connection with all land matters that may come up. A great many members were after these places, and it was a great sur prise to some of them that French was Uncle Joe's choice. Lands for State Capitol. A bill has been introduced in the sen ate by Senator Heyburn providing for the granting of 150 additional sections of land to the state of Idaho for the purpose of-Riding In the construction of the state capitol. When Idaho was admitted Bhe only received 32,000 acres of land for state capitol purposes, while Montana received 182.000 acres. Wash ington 132,000. Wyoming 107.000 acres, and Utah 64.000 acres for the same purpose. Idaho is now constructing a capitol building that will cost about $1,500,000, and In order for the general government to treat Idaho' as fairly as her sister states, she should have an additional appropriation of public land. Bills by Heyburn. Senator Heyburn has Introduced a number of bills, some of which relate especially to Idaho and others pertain to the country at large. The following are some of the bills recently Intro duced by him: A bill providing for the withdrawal from public entry lands needed for townslte purposes In connection with irrigation projects under the reclama tion act of June 17, 1903. A bill preventing the manufacture sale, or transfer of adulterated or mis branded foods, drugs, medicines, or li quors, and for regulating the traffic therein. A bill authorizing the sale of surplus or unallotted lands of the Fort Hall Indian reservation, in the state of Idaho. A bill providing for a model of any vessel of war of the. United States navy, bearing the name of a state of the United States In the capitol build Ing of the state. A bill granting leaves of absence to homesteaders on lands to be irrigated under the provisions of the act of June 17, 1902. A bill to establish a fish hatchery In Idaho. Senator Heyburn has also Introduced bills granting Increases of pension to Justin H. Wlxom. George A. Francis, Thomas F. Carey, Dorris Florence Clegg, Eugene P. Kingsley, and Ab raham Dürfe«. Repeal Timber and Stone Act Without a doubt the timber and'stone act will be repealed at this session of congresa A determined effort was made last year to repeal this law, and a bill to that effect passed the senate but It was defeated In the house. The land frauds In Oregon and other west ern states seems to have convinced the members of both houses of congress that If the timber and atone act to re ' pealed, the land frauda will be put an end to. The timber and stone act to be lieved by many to be a good law and not the cause of frauda and this was urged against a repeal of the measure last year, but the recent startling dis covery of frauds In several of the states baa knocked the bottom out of this ar gument, and It to only a question of a short time until the law will be re "MICHAEL STROQROFF" TONIGHT Splendid Production by Benson-Layne Co at the Temple Theatre.
