MEAT INSPECTION
AGFttEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED
BETWEEN PRESIDENT AND
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
■SPEAKER CANNON BECOMES INTERESTED
Annual Appropriation of $3.000,CCO to
Pay Cost of Inspection—President
Indicates that He is Satisfied With
Measure.
WASHINGTON: The basis of a
«*>n.plete agreement on the matter of
meat inspection legislation between
President Roosevelt ami the house
■ committee on agriculture has been ar-
ranged. Speaker Cannon represented
tht committee anil subsequently spent
aome time explaining the situation to
the committee in Its room at the capl-
tol. The bill was practically com-
pleted when the committee adjourned.
It will authorize an annual appropri-
ation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost of
Inspection and will contain no provi-
sion for the levy of an assessment to
make up any deficiency in the amount
available for this work as suggested
by Mr. Cowan, representing the Texas
Cattle Grow era, and later urged by the
president.
The court review provision will not
be contained In the measure. This ac-
tion meets the suggestion of the pres-
ident. The words "in the judgment
of the secretary of agriculture." will
not be contained In the measure. This
action meets the suggestion of the
president.
The section waiving the civil service
taw tor one year In the selection of
Inspectors will go out of the provision,
also one of the president's recommen-
•dations.
There Is to be no date on the labels
of the packing of meat food products.
In this the president yields to the
• committee. The language given the
Inspectors the right to packing plants
at all times Is amplified by the i irds
'whether the same be In operation or
not." With thc e changes made, tha
president has Indicated his entire^ sat-
isfaction with the measure w hich vf i
reported from the committee as a sub-
stitute for the Beveridge amendment
and was re-coinmitted to the commit-
tee that the changes might be made.

Appropriation for Good Roads.
WASHINGTON: Representative
Rhodes, of Missouri, introduced a
good roads bill, applying to all the
states, in the house. It provides for
an appropriation of $50,000,000 for
$ood roads, one-half the expense to be
norne by the government and one-half
\ty the states, and to be disbursed by
a highway commission consisting of
the secretary of agriculture, the post-
master general and one person to be
appointed by the president.

AMERICANS ARE PAINT USERS
It has been remarked that the
American people consume more paint,
both In the aggregate and per capita,
than any other people In the world.
In a recently published article on the
subject it w as figured that our yearly j
consumption is over 10o,uu0,0u0 gal-
Ions of paints of all kinds, of which
over one half is used In the paintinss '
of houses.
The reason for this great consump-
tion Is twofold: a large proportion
of our buildings, especially In small
towns and rural districts, are con-
structed of wood, and we, as a people,
are given to neatness and cleanliness.
For, take it all In all, there Is noth- j
Ing so cleanly or so sanitary as paint, :
Travel where we w ill throughout !
the country, everywhere we find tha
neat, cheerful painted dwelling, pro-
claiming at once the prosperity an«
the self-respect of our population.
Fifty years ago this was not so;
painted dwellings, while common lu
the larger cities and towns, were the i
exception in the rural districts; be- |
cause, on the one hand, a large pro- (
portion of those buildings were tem- i
porary makeshifts, and, on the other I
hand, because paint was then a lux- .
ury, expensive and difficult to obtain
In the out-of-the-way places, and re-
quiring special knowledge and much
preparation to fit it for use.
The introduction of ready mixed or
prepared paints, pbout 1S60, changed
the entire aspect of affairs. As the
Jack-of-atl-trades told the Walking !
Delegate in one of Octave Thanet's
stories. "Anyone can slather paint."
The insurmountable difficulty with
our predecessors was to get the paint
ready for "slathering." That the
country was ready for paint In a con-
i venient, popular form is shown by !
the immediate success of the indus-
try and its phenomenal growth in j
CO years from nothing to 60,000,000
1 gallons—the estimated output for
: 1900.
Some pretty severe things have
been written about and said against
; this class of paints, especially by
| painters and manufacturers of ccr-
i tain kinds of paste paints. Doubtless
i In many instances these strictures
i have been justified and some fearful-
' ly and wonderfully constructed mix-
: tures have in the past been worked
I off on the guileless consumer In the
j shape of prepared paint. But such
; products have had their short day
and quickly disappeared, and the too-
1 enterprising manufacturers that pro-
duced them have come to grief in
; the bankruptcy courts or have
I learned by costly experience that
! honesty Is the best policy and have
j reformed their ways.
! The chief exceptions to this rule
! are some mail order houses who sell
direct to the country trade, at a very
low price—frequently below the
wholesale price of linseed oil. The
buyer of such go ids, like the buyer
of a "gold brick," has only himself to
blame if he finds his purchase worth-
less. With gold selling at any bank
or mint at a fixed price, owners of
gold do not sell it at a discount; and
with linseed oil quoted everywhere
nt 50 to 70 cents a gallon, manufac-
turers do not sell a pure linseed oil
paint at 30 or 40 ccnts a gallon.
Tho composition of prepared paints
differs because paint experts have
not yet agreed as to the best pig-
ments and because the daily results
of tests on a large scale are constant-
ly improving the formulas of manu-
facturers; but all have como to tne
conclusion that the essentials of good
paint are pure linseed oil, fine grind-
ing and thorough Incorporation, and
in these particulars all the products
of reputable manufacturers corre-
spond; all first-class prepared paints
are thoroughly mixed and ground and
the liquid base is almost exclusively
pure linseed oil, the necessary vola-
tile "thinners" and Japan dryers.
The painter's opposition to such
products is based largely on self-in-
terest. He wants to mix the paint
himself and to bo paid for doing it.
and to a certain class of painters it
is no recommendation for a paint to
say that it will last five or ten years.
The longer a paint lasts the longer
he will have to wait for tho job of
repainting. The latter consideration
has no weight with the consumer,
and the former is a false idea of
economy. Hand labor can never be
as cheap or as efficient as machine
work, and every time the painter
mixes paint, did he but know it, he
is losing money, because he can buy
a better paint than he can mix at
less than it costs him to mix it.
Prepared paints have won, not only
on their actual merits, bt: on their
convenience and econouy They are
comparatively cheap and hey are in-
comparably handy. But vhr all is
said, the experienced pain.M is the
proper person to apply even a ready
mixed paint. He knows better than
anyone else the "when" aud "how"
and the difference between painting
and "slathering" Is much greater
than it appears to a novice. Every-
one to his trade, and after all paint-
ing Is the painter's trade and not the
householder's.

"My grandfather's father said that
' hen he was a little boy there was a
bridge across the river one sleep from
Klickitat (an Indian village near
where the Dalles is now) and that lie
sat upon the rocks 200 feet above the
present river and fished In still water
—the fish there were plenty."
The Klickitat Indiana have the
torv among the legends of their
tribe that ce time there was a
bridge a the Columbia. An
aged Kllc once said and main-
tained witn ... gravity: "Mv grand-
father's mother paddled a canoe under
that bridge; it was dark for a very
long time; she had a little !)iy with
her who was much frightened; this
boy when he grew up often told of that
great, long, dark, very dark way far
under the ground."
Other Indians tell the story that at
one time many moons ago the great
mountains now called Mount Hood
and Mount Adams made a terrible
battle and fought desperately—so des-
perately that the earth shook and
trembled—and in t-the fight that the
mountains were set afire and a great
lake which lay In the depression
above the bridge was drained; that
the bridge was torn down and the en-
tire character of the country changed.
This immense battle no doubt was
an earthquake and the fire to the In-
dians' mind was volcanic action of
'.bese two mountains wherein vant
quantities of molten lava were spewed

'.he bridge with its forest of trees was
destroyed and the banks of the river

The two mountains, which are the
pride of the region, are of volcanic
Drigin. The broken mountain range
apon each side of the river shows
plainly that such a condition could
have and must have existed at one
time. The detached rocks broken
from the precipitous banks and the
canyon sides upon each side of the
river bear out this theory. The old
water line marked plainly upon the
rocky sides of the precipitous banks
tell the story of water levels above
