though tho Hancock county man would
win out. and II Ohio county had stuck
to her forty-three for Ersklne, the other
seventeen would probably have been
given to Campbell; but the unexpected
happened and Ohlo's chairman an

a cheer went up that told the town that
thci fight was over. Mr.. Dunlap, OF the
delegation. objected to tho vote as an

votes he represented for Erskinc, Then
Brooke changed her solid vote back to

Colonel Isaac Trumbo DenounceS
the Huntington Fund
ing Bill.
WHY IT SHOULD BE DEFEATED.
1t Would Arrest Development and
Subject the People to Any Toll the
Monopoly Might Impose.

Colonel Isaac Trumb writes as follows
to the Salt Lake Herald concerning the
Southern Pacific and the funding bill:
The development of the entire West is
lnseparably linked with the increase of its
railroad facilities. Even the free and un-
limited coinage of silver will prove almost
useless to the commercial development
and industrial freedom of the great and
wealthy region lying west of the Rocky
Mountains unless freedom from railroad
domination comes with the other desired
condition. l am not of those
who believe that all the evils OF
our industrial and commercial life are to
be baDlshed by internal competition;
neither do believe it always follows that
the more railroads we have the better we
are OFF. There is mischief always to the
public IN the Investment of capital in
directions where the plants already in
existence are equal to the performance OF
all the demands of trade. All the compe-
ftition in the world will not reduce the cost
or production. 1t may cheaper prices,
but 1t does not reduce the cost of produc-
ton. Hence, over-investment is largely
the same in effect as under-lnvestment,
and the public is punished in both cases.
criticism now made by me on the railroad
situation in California and in all the States
west of and including Utah, the demand
is for competition Independently OF all ac-
tual needs.
The statement that corporations are not
interested in legislation in Government
like ours, which in degree undertakes to
measurably insure profit to the investor
must be based upon the presumption that
most people have little knowledge or give
little heed to what the Government is doing IN
behalf of corporations.
The Central Pacific is case in point. 1t is
all the while asserted that the Central Pacific
Railroad has little Or no Interest in politics or
governmental affairs. Yet that 1t has con-
trolled the politics of California and OF Nevada
for the last twenty years is as patent to those
willing to know as anything can be. Every
influence that can be brought to bear is ex-
erted to protract its domination of the two
States named. 1t holds California in grip
that the people have been unable TO loosen, do
what they could. 1t has corrupted the State
OF California, for by means of It's political
power, and by the power OF the money unlaw-

Sarbor of Haafeva and the others were at
Lifuka. The Woo Sung was Danish vessel
of about 600 tons, and the West Australian,
about 900 tons, belonged at the Colonies.
They were loading with copra and the
West Australian had cargo of 600 tons
aboard, worth $24 600.
"The Tongan islands lie about 700 miles
south of the Samoan Islands. They are
an independent group, with population
Of about $4,000. They have q very en-
Iightened and progressive native ruler,
King George. He has at his capital a col
lege where the natives are taught the rudi-
ments of learning. He requires his people
to be clad from neck to knees. Altogether
they are very tractable and interesting
people.
AT Samoa we felt no signs of the terrific
blow that took place there. But since
Decem Der the islands have been frequently
shaken by terrific earthquakes. There are
no buildings there that could be shaken
down, but the low one-story houses could
be seen to sway and the tremors per-
ceptibly felt, while the crockery and
chinaware ratified together and fell from
their. shelves. The most distinct shock
was felt on Christmas day.
1T is very likely that this demonstra-
ton was related to the blow and tidal
wave at the Friendly Islands"
Mr.. Magee tells a pretty story about
Robert Louis Stevenson with whom he
was acquainted and which has only been
mentioned incidentally heretofore.
Chief Justice III. c. Ide of the island has
very pretty daughter of 18. She was
born in leap year on February 20, and
consequently could only enjoy the luxury
of birthday every fourth year. While
she was away visiting friends in Vermont
she wrote to her father expressing regret
about this.
The Judge mentioned the matter jok-
ingly to Stevenson, who thereupon
straightway sat down and made will, be-
queathing his own birthday to the discon-
solate young lady.
The will was lengthy and elaborate,
using all the legal phraseology, as Steven
son said, "that he could think Of" and
giving as his reason for the bequest that
he was growing old and had little use of
birthday now, anyhow. and he would be
pleased if it would be made to do his
young friend any good.
She wrote to him thanking him COR
daily, and has since religiously celebrated
the poets birthday, which, by the way,
was one of the conditions of the bequest
that she should do.

every other. But men are restless. In this
age and country they are especially so.
There are few who think they have found
the best location possible, or that they
have moved for the last time. The few
who are convinced in their own minds
that they have finally discovered the best
country on earth may well be expected to
preach the gospel OF their convictions.
They naturally wish to see the undevel-
oped resources of the land of their choice,
its advantages of soil and natural attrac-
tiveness advertised TO the world.
OF course this desire is not entirely un-
selfish. What desire is entirely unselfish {?
Everyone expects to reap some benefit
from the growth OF his own town and the
development OF the region in which he
lives. Yet in all this he may not be purely
selfish. He may have real desire to see
his fellows in distant regions better their
condition, and TO see. the region in which
he dwells prepared as nearly as possible
in his own time to confer it's fullest bene-
fits on coming generations.
To induce immigration by misstatements
or overstatements is fraud. And no spe-
cies cf fraud should be more severely con-
demned than that which would lure un-
suspectlng and honest people into an un-
fruitful and worthless region by misstate-
ments and delusive promises.
This is not wild, unsettled region. As
town Salem is now Q696) tifty-three
wears old. Thirty-seven years she has
been the capital of a State. Some of the
lands tributary TO the city have endured,
without showing any sign of failure, half
century OF steady cultivation. The coun-
try is not untried. Our climate, soil and
general resources are well understood. We
guess at nothing. We wish to overstate
nothing. Salem is not 'rbocm town, -
staked out on the prairie or in the woods.
with no past and no future. Neither does
she depend for her future on the will of
railroad companies or other greedy combi-
nations of capital. We rely upon our To-
cation and natural resources and the
spirit and enterprise of our people.
Our advantages are natural, not artif-
cial. A goodly number of people, still
living, have known our climate through a
constant residence of from thirty to fifty
years. In all that time they have seen
nothing of dangerous or destructive
storms, nothing OF whitening cold. They
have seen no failure of crops in that half
century or blighting winds or grasshopper
plaques. They have seen a slow but
steady improvement in the development
of the country. with nothing to shake their
confidence in the brightness of its future.
Placing Salem in the center of a region
