a gentle flower in the forest grew,
Where never II soul its sweetness knew;
And its upturned eyes with beauty bright
Ne'er glowed with responsive loves delight.

When low in the sky the pale sun hung,
Still the wild-birds called on Joyous wing,
50 its life seemed but n wasted thing.
Jet the wind had taken its pure sweet breath
And borne it away to a room of death,
Where it glided in with the setting sun.
And calmed the soul of a dying one;
For it banshed of unbelief the wrath,
And restored to The soul a child-like faith,
AS whispered the words which angels know;
Consider the lilies how they grow!'

Shasta route smeanS~Sthat an agree
ment has been reached by the South
ern Pacific and the Union Pacific for
the purpose of building up the Shasta
route at the expense of the Oregon
Short Line and with an arrangement
of this nature in effect the Western
roads have not any strong hopes that
they will be able to keep the rates up

The general opinion is also that a
number of roads will not be represent
ed at the meeting, and if this is the
case, it is not likely that the meeting
will reach any great result.
All idea of calling a meeting of the
freight officials OF the Western roads
in the near future has been given up.
It is thought that rates can for the
present be maintained, and that no
great demoralizatfon:9Will be the re-
suit There is much feeling on the
part Of the strong lines against some
of the weaker roads, s|who have been
cutting rates in order to secure bust
ness, but it has been definitely decided
by the large lines that they will not
cut rates, no matter f1hat the smaller
fellows may do. There is sufficient
traffic for all the large roads, and they
have no intentionsof cutting the rate,
just to please some weak line, when
they can have all the business they
are able to handle at higher figures.
If there was not sufficient business to
go around the chances are that there
would be the iveliest kind of a fight,
but there will now be no trouble until
the amount of business becomes so
small that it is made an object for
some of the large roads to fight for it.

THE PRESIDENTS OF THE ROAD
POSITION SINCE IT'S ORGANI-

OF GREAT NORTHERN
Call on Superintendent Harding and
Express Satisfaction at Their
Treatment.

It may not be generally known, but
it is fact nevertheless, that since it's
organization under the charter act of
1864 the Northern Pacific road has had
eleven presidents. In their order they
were Messrs. Perham, Smith, Cass,
Wright, Billings, Barney, Willard, Har-
ris, Cakes, Winter and Mellen. The
road has twice gone through bank
ruptcy and reorganization. The first
converted the $30,000,000 of Jay Cooke
bonds into preferred stock; the second
reduced the bonded debt and interest
charges very materially, cutting down
the latter about 40 per cent.
The company now appears to be en-
tering upon an era of safety and in
creasing prosperity 1t still owns
about two-thirds Of it's original gov
eminent land grant, and has nearly
twice the mileage contemplated in its
original charter.
According TO the Wall Street Jour-
nal the Northern Pacific annual report
now in preparation Will show net earn
ings for the past fiscal year in the
neighborhood of $6,500,0O0. This will
clear all the fixed charges under the
reorganization plan. The result is all
the more gratifying from the fact that
a good deal Of money has been spent
on permanent improvements that will
considerably decrease operating ex-
penses during the coming year. 1t looks
now as though the preferred stock
would get dividend Of or per cent
at the end of the current year.

st. PauI-ChicagO Lines on Passenger
Rate Decentralization.

The executives of most of the ST.
Paul Chicago lines after a protracted
meeting in Chicago, at which the
present decentralization in passenger
rates was the chief topic, have ar
ranged for meeting of the Western
Passenger bureau for Tuesday, Sept.
q. At this meeting there will be pres
ent the executives of the roads who
will take all steps to correct what is
generally admitted to be the worst
state of decentralization which has
existed for months. Reductions by lines
not members of the association, as we'll
as those roads which do belong, have
been followed by all the Western
railroads, until regular charges scarce
ly exist between any OF the large COM
mercial centers. These reductions have
of necessity carried down with them
most, if not all, intermediate rates. un-
til the whole fabric has been weak
ened. The local passenger men simply
shudder when they consider some of
the commissions which have been paid.
and it has been so bad that the agents
who receive them have seen that it
was near the finish and that the pace
could hardly be maintained very much
longer.
At the meeting on Tuesday all the
lines are expected to be represented,
not only the ST Paul-ChicagO lines,
but the transcontinental people as well.

KENTUCKY HORSES.
The Blue Grass Animal Has n Charm

Kentuckians have bred saddle horses
for beauty and charm, and have got

Kentucky horse that no American
horse has, says the Harpers Weekly.
No other animals l have met in the
country exist in the memory with quite
the fascination of certain horses [ have

stance, a few miles from Lexington, a
roam gelding that had this fascination
to a high degree. He had the graceful

them, and yet you felt you had never

the other chief beauty. There was an
airy grace in the carriage of it which
