new proceedings against the railroads
for join! rates on wheat ami other
romnrodities, in a bearing which will
he set for Olympia the latter part of

The proposed hearing will have the
advantage of the new law enacted by
the recent legislature which, it is
claimed bj members of the commis
sion, cures whatever defects and con
stitutional uncertainties were contained,
in the law of l!»(lf.. The principal oh- J
je (ion raised against the commission's
joint wle al late order of last year, for
example, was that it did not include
Interurban electric lines, .and that it
was (hereto- lass legislation. The

CONSULS APPROVE OF
PURPOSE OF FXPOSITION
SEATTLE, May 13.—One phase of
the purpose of the Alaska-Yukon-Pa
t ifle exposition which will be held at
Seattle in 1909—the bringing together
commercially of the countries of the
Pacific ocean—is attracting widespread
attention and commendation.
Without neglecting the o'her object
of the exposition, the exploitation of
Alaska and Yukon. It is the intention
of the management to devote much at
tention to the exhibits that will exert
an influence to increase the trade be
tween the United States and the coun
tries lapped by the Pacific and between
the different countries themselves. It
is a .veil-known fact that this country
Joes not enjoy its full share of the im
mense Pacific commerce, especially the
Oriental trade.
Letter*: received by Henry E. Reed,
director of exploitation, from American
consuls stationed in tbe different coun
tries bordering upon the Pacific, back
up the prediction of those who have
studied the plan and scope of the expo
sition that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition will be a great help to
American commerce, that through the
medium of exhibits, buyers and sellers
of many nations will be brought closer
together to their mutual advantage.

The Farmer From the
Richelieu River
[Original.]
A finely equipped billiard hall In
Montreal was kept by an expert with
tbe cue. Indeed, he held a champion's
trophy. During the daytime there
were few people to use his tables, and
If any one desired a game the proprie
tor would accommodate him. One aft
ernoon a farmer whose lineaments
were French strolled into the place and
seemed greatly pleased with it.
"Would you like to play a game?"
asked the proprietor.
The farmer admitted, that be bad
beard a great deal about billiards aud
bad come to Montreal especially to
play a game. The proprietor called for
a set of balls, handed the farmer a cue
and. unlocking a private rack, took
down his owu cue.
"How much you play for?" asked the
fanner.
"I don't play for money."
"What! Nothing to mak eet Inter
esting?"
"If you like we'll play for refresh
ments."
"Refreshments! What is that?"
"Drinks, cigars, anything you like."
"Ver' well. How much de game?"
"Oh. we'll play till you are satisfied
that I can beat you."
Meanwhile several loiterers gathered
arouud to see tbe expression that
would come over the farmer's face
when he saw the proprietor counting
as much as he liked. The farmer was
given tbe first shot. lie took a long
time to make up his mind what to do
and when It was made up did a great
deal of sawing with his cue. He
missed the shot he tried for, but
"scratched" one point. The proprietor
then attempted to show the spectators
a very difficult round table shot. but.
having no incentive, played carelessly
aud missed.
"Go ahead," be said to his opponent.
"You say we play till I am satis
fied?" be asked.
"That was the understanding."
"I am satisfied. I stop."
There was a burst of laughter from
the onlookers, for the "house" had lost
tbe refreshments.
Now. it happened that an amateur
player, an expert, was looking on who
was not as averse to betting money as
the proprietor. When tbe latter threw
down his cue and ordered the refresh
ments the expert went up to the farm
er with outstretched hand and told him
he was the cleverest countryman that
had ever honored Montreal with his
presence. Then be offered to play him
a friendly game for a nominal stake.
The farmer accepted, and the game be
gan. Tbe expert played as badly as be
could, but not badly enough to let tbe
farmer beat him, which he intended in
order to draw his dupe into bis net.
But the more tbe farmer lost the more
he Insisted on playing further and. to
regain bis losses, continually suggested
a raising of tbe stake till he had lost
in round numbers $250. Then he got
verj* much excited. Drawing a wallet
from his pocket, be showed his enemy
$2f>o in bills, which be agreed to put up
In case be could get odds of 4 to L
Tbe expert, with well feigned reluc
tance, at last agreed, and. getting the
money from the proprietor, the stakes
were placed In the latter's bands.
Tbe expert won first shot and ran
03 points, the game being 100. Then
the fanner chalked his cue. looked
at the balls and began to play. His
first shot was a difficult masse, with a
draw nearly tbe full length of tbe ta
ble, and be made it beautifully. From
that be proceeded to make one difficult
shot after another, always leaving the
balls in the position be desired. A
crowd gathered around, and It was
soon apparent to them that no such
handling of billiard balls had ever been
seen In Montreal. Tbe game being a
short one. it seemed that the player
was ambitious to make nearly all the
points by difficult shots. He missed no
shot at all till he had counted 100
points and won $1,000.
From the moment tbe farmer made
the first shot tbe expert, who was the
best amateur player in tbe city, bad
made up his mind that he had fallen
Into his own trap. When the money
was paid over to the farmer tbe loser
said to him:
"Now that you've been paid the bet
perhaps you won't mind telling us who
you are?"
"1 got leetle farm down on de Riche
lieu riviere." said the farmer.
"Rats!" said his questioner and. turn
ing on his heel, left the place. Then
tbe farmer called for refreshments and
Invited his admirers to partake of
them.
Now, there was a billiard match to
be played that night between the cham
pion of the United States from New
York and tbe champion of France from
Paris. This was mentioned to the
farmer, and he manifested a desire to
see the match. Promising to meet bis
new made friends at tbe place ap
pointed for tbe game, be left them to
go to supper.
Meanwhile it was reported that La
noroux. the French champion, who had
been expected to arrive in the city
during the day, had been detained.
Those who bad been amusing the farm
er from tbe "Richelieu riviere" went
to the hall, fearing that they might be
deprived of the expected treat. But
on reaching it they were informed that
Lanoroux had arrived, though only in
time for supper. When a side door
opened aud the contestants appeared
those who bad met the farmer were as
tonished to see him in the person of
the French champion.
He won the match, and it was an
nounced that he would give $1,000 to
the Montreal poor.

IT S DEATH TO WEED KING
Learned Agronomist Tells How to
Destroy Dandelions
The prevalence of the dandelion is
becoming somewhat alarming in this
city, and some lawns have been prac
tically ruined by this nuisance of a
weed. Some of our citizens have al
most given up the fight in despair.
Rt last science, however, has con
presumptuous harbinger of spring,
and it is now up to the householder
as to whether the weed or blue grass
shall hold sway over the lawns.
The agronomist of an eastern col
lege is the monument winning scien
tist who has furnished the weapon
that means death and destruction to
the yellow flower and the hoary head
ed cottony top stalk that succeeds it.
His formula is stated to be not only
effective, but quite simple and inex
pensive. Here it is:
Dissolve two pounds of sulphate of
iron in a gallon of water and add
about two and one-half ounces of sul
phuric acid. Place the liquid in an or
dinary spraying can and get busy. This
potion will serve to send an ordinary
sized lawn to witherland.
Should Sir Dandelion have posses
sion of a large tract of land and it 1s
desired to kill the encroacher hear,
body and roots, use the admixture in
the following proportions:
Add a quarter pound sack of sul
phate of iron to a 57 gallon barrel of
water, mix thoroughly, and add 10
pounds of sulphuric acid. Use a reg
ular spraying machine, and the dan
delion is a dead one.
Sulphuric acid being a deadly poi
son considerable care should be exer
cised not only in its use, Dut tn its
handling before it is used."
Several persons are experimenting
with this "dope" in this city, and
their experience will be awaited with
much interest.

ASKS LOWER RATE.
Cost of Transporting Wood Alcohol is
Said to be Excessive.
SALEM, or.. May 13.—L. Levinger of
Baker City has informed the state rail
way commission that the cost of dena
tured alcohol at Chicago is 35 cents
per gallon and that the transportation
charges from Chicago to Baker City
are 25 cents per gallon, which the Ba
ker City druggists assert is an un
reasonable rate.
Previous to the presenting of the
case to the state commission Levinger
had communicated with the railway
officials, who informed him that "it
had been ruled by the transcontinental
inspection bureau that denatured alco
hol should take the same rating as any
other kind of alcohol, as the transcon
tinental provision for alcohol is un
qualified."
Since in rates of this sort the state
commission has the recommending
power only, the complaint of the Baker
City man has been forwarded to the
interstate commerce commission.
