Slandercrs always carry their

inexhaustible, always on tap

half hour they can inject enough

its peace of mind for a month
and carry sorrow to many a

worm themselves into other peO-

EXPENSES AT THE FAIR


Especial correspondence to the HERALD
So many reports Of extortions
and frauds at the Worlds Fair
have been circulated by some
eastern papers, that many have
decided to forego the benefits and
pleasures offered, this summer,
at Chicago, because of expense.

Worlds Fair an expensive trip
and taking into account the bene-
fit received, it seems to me to be
good investment for the money.
First the wardrobe. The COM
mon sense shown in dress is very
noticeable at the fair; everybody
dresses forcomfort-both women
and men. This relieves one from
the expense of an extravagant
wardrobe. A skirt that clears
the ground, of some dark mate
rial and several thin shirt waists
will be all that will be required
for wear at the fair grounds.
Another dress or possibly two to
be worn at the hotel upon re.
turning from the grounds fur.

promising field for railroad extension.
But pressure is being brought to bear in
the Oregon district with view Of having
al! goods shipped from the East routed via
the Q from Chicago TO St. Paul or Omaha.
AS to routes, it is believed that the c. B.
Wright system in Eastern Washington
would be used. no matter which Coast ter
minal is utilized. This, however, is not
assured. If the Sound is chosen as the
immediate terminus, then the Cowlitz
pass, the Nisqually valley and the Tacoma
Eastern or Hart road would probably be
brought into service. The alternate Ore
gon route would be along the Columbia
river. In connection with the Sound
route, as has already been stated in the
PosT-lNTELLIGENCER, The q. W. Hunt
grade from Centralia south would, it is be-
lieved, be made use Of This would bring
the Q into the Gray's Harbor country, for
which, it is said, some of the q people
have ever admitted a fascination. From
Gray's Harbor it would reach Portland and
point on the Washington side of the
Columbia river, as President Hill. Of the
Great Northern, is credited with having
been DESTROYS of doing before he became
interested in the Union Paciic's grade.
From Portland and Astoria it is learned
that the commercial bodies will memorial
lze the Z managers to extend their road to
the Columbia river at once.
At this writing it is stated as fact that
the extension will tie in active progress
within ninety DAYS.

General Manager smith Recommends y
Change to Standard Gauge.


General Manager c. J. Smith, of the
Oregon improvement Company, has sent
his annual report TO the trustees OF the
company. Among other recommended
tions he suggests that the Columbia &
Puget Sound road be changed to standard
gauge, or that another locomotive be
added to the narrow gauge equipment.
I've have for several years contemplated
widening our gauge" said he yesterday.
Our roadbed is wide enough in most
places our ties are long enough. and most
of our rails are tift.--six-pound steel.
Nearly the whole expense would be in
changing the equipment, which would
cost about $780, 600.
'Our present equipment is ample for all
our needs. with the exception of engines.
We have only two consolidated engines.
and when one goes into the shops it keeps
the other hustling, but when both
get crippled We are in bad
shape. Nov, that is just what hap
pened during the late storm. An engineer
burned the crown sheet OF one OF them and
the other got off the track during the deep
snow. In getting it back on it also be-
came injured. The latter is now out of
the shop and the other will be soon, and
then We can handle 800 tons of coal a
day. We have plenty OF cars, and If the
gauge should be widened we could place
the bodies of the present cars on standard
gauge trucks. One advantage of a wider
gauge would be that cars from other roads
could be loaded at our mines instead OF
transferring as now"

New Tariff Slashes Rates on sound
PrOducts-Mi!eage Rates to spokane
The new east-bound tariff OF the rail-
roads running to Puget sound makes great
reductions in the rates on fish and hides
to Missouri and Mississippi river ana
Chicago common points. The old rate on
fish was a postage-stamp rate OF *loo nat
to all Missouri river and eastward points.
The new rate is $l.25 to Missouri RIVER.
$l33 to Mississippi river, $1.3S to Chicago
and ST. 80 to points east of Chicago for dry
sailed. On fresh and frozen fish the new
rates are sl.l2H to Missouri river, $l2o to
Chicago and Mississippi river and Sl.5o to
points east Of Chicago. On hides the re-
duction is still greater. The Old rate was
$l35 fiat to Missouri river and eastward
points, whereas the new rate is 10 cents 10
Chicago and western terminals and 81 east
of Chicago.
The accent rate on lumber does not APP
ply to cedar and spruce, which are ciassed
with shingles, and the new rates are
merely local. applying only to Eastern
terminals Of the three roads and interior
points on their lines. The rates to points
on connecting lines remain the same as
before.
ties which are not shipped from this Sec
ton, but were in the Old transcOntlnentai
tariff, because shipments of such classes of
goods We're made from California. Among
those eliminated are brandes, wines and
liquors. asbestos, canned goods, dye
woods, high explosives, honey, oranges
and lemons, leather, As well as ostriches
and sea lions in car loads.
A Chicago special to San Francisco says
Of the new west-bound tariff:
The most important point in the tariffs is that
the mileage basis, ut least to Spokane, Is recos-
niz ID This is the first time that any transcon-
tueatal tariff has been issued except ON the
basis of low term nal rates to meet ocean COM
petition plus the local rates b ,ck to inland
points. This makes higher rates 10 intermediate
points and involves the apparent absurdl.y OF
taking car from Chicago 10 san Francis co.
via salt Lake, for instance. at a much lower rate
than is charged ii the car is destined to salt
Lake. The explanation is solely that either
low terminal rates must De charged or
the traffic would go by water. The haus are so
long that the traffic would not pay the expenses
II all the intermediate rates were graded DacK
a mileage basis from the terminal points.
Rates made exactly as If the freight were
taken from boats at terminals and carried at
local rates to inland points.
Inc question no" Win 1EanscontiHen'"A lines
is whether they will, in time. be compelled
to adopt the mileage basis OF making rates.
If so, they must keep up approximately the
present basis to interior points and let their
terminal business go.
The new tariffs are issued by an agreement OF
the Union tactic, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, and supposedly with consent of the
Canadian Pacific. 1t is not yet known whether
the reduced rates Will force corresponding re-
duction by the Central and Southern Pacific
transcOntnental lines.

The New school Location.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The writer of this article has read with much interest the different "opinions" about the best location for the new high and manual training schools, and think that the lot bounded by Grove, State and Veto streets, all things considered, is by far the best site for the school yet talked of. It Is 8 quiet place. cleanly. good neighborhood and very convenient to all the horse car lines, nothing objectionable in the rear of grounds, or fin any direction, passing to and from the spot. The building would be situated on the right side of the street. Warm and sunny in winter and we'll shaded in summer. If the land can be ob- tained the "honorable' board could cer. tainly do no better than to secure it at once and avail themselves of the kindly gift of Mrs. Boardman. TAX PAYER.
