THE APPEAL DISMISSED
BOARD OF ARBITRATION PUTS A
QUIETUs ON DIFFERENTIALs.
A Phenomenal Run on the PhiIadeI-
ncOus and Personal Notes.

The board Of arbitration OF the Joint
Traffic Association has dismissed the APP
peal of the Pennsylvania and New York
Central and their Chicago connections on
the question of differential fares on the
ground that the board has no authority un-
der the association to entertain the appeal
and decide its merits. The appeal from the
recent meeting of the board Of managers
declining to abolish differentias was pre-
sented some days ago, and in declaring that
the question cannot be settled by them the
arbitrators hold that it is matter to be
determined solely by the board of control.
The agitation for the abolition of differen-
tial fares will now rest easy for some time,
in all probability until the Supreme Court
renders its decision on the Joint Traffic suit.

A phenomenal burst of speed was made
few days ago by a special train on the
Philadelphia & Reading road. The train,
consisting Of an engine and four cars, left
Atlantic City at S:21 a. m. and arrived in
Canton, distance, of $50 miles. at 300,
making the run in Just forty-eight minutes.
But this does not fully tell the story, as at
Hamilton. twenty-one miles from. Canton,
the engineer found the electrical signal
against him, showing that. a, local was on
the track. He brought his train to a dead
standstill and then crept along for some
distance until the track was clear For the
second time he stopped his train for a sim
liar cause. but Notwithstanding these delays
he made the run in the phenomenal time
given The quickest mile was in thirty-two
seconds, which beats the record of the New
York Central. heretofore the best ever made
for assingle mile, by two seconds. Had it
not been for the Interruptions the engineer
said he would have covered the distance in
forty minutes. The locomotive that estab-
lished these new figures and the tender
weigh 227 COO pounds, with driving wheel
base of seven feet three inches, while the
weight of each car was 5000 pounds.

Chicapo's Ideal Climate.

Professor and Mrs. J. B. Horner
returned recently from the East
where they have been since the
latter part cf June. They found
great country highly developed
and many conditions that are very
desirable, but what they thought
of the country as compared with
their home state may be inferred
from an extract taken from a
private letter dated ut the metrop
oils of the Inland Empire:
"The lightning flashed and the
thunder rolled in Chicago. Ihen
the clouds began to lower, and II
WAS said "a storm is coming but
the sale of tickets went on as II

and the great theatre became

We Are SovereignS.

The great, loyal master" OF
the common people, which was
for the war, IS for gathering IN
its fruits. for keeping up the flag,
for putting our light where it will
shine unto all the world. They
are to be trusted, counseled with,
relied on. They showed it in 1776,
IN 1861, in 1896 and in 1898.
They are the source OF true feeling
and correct sentiment as they are
the source of power.'-Sunday

The sentiments expressed in the
extract above, and in fact the
whole article from which it was
taken will find a hearty Response
in the hearts of the people. They
come home to ''the business and
bosoms of the common people"
This is emphatically a day OF 'ihe
reign of the common people" "
The making of war, the making OF
peace, all important affairs either
foreign or domestic, are affected
bv public sentiment. Fifteen
wears ago, in lecture delivered
in Portland, Bcecher said, "There
is but one nation in Europe that
would undertake any important
matter without consulting the peo
pie and feeling the popular pnlSe.'
What is it that has built up this
great nation and made your gov
ernment the best ever constructed
which holds in its loving embrace

who are prosperous, safe an(

roo EXPENSIVE.

The rumor that Governor Lord
intends calling an extra session
of the legislature some time this
fall-probably i'm October-has
brought forth considerable COM
ment from the press of the state.
Several phases of the matter have
been discussed, and reasons both
for and against have been freely
offered. The papers favorlng
the governors suggestion seem
to be largely in the minority.
So far, the only good reason
offered for all extra session is the
election of senator. But as the
regular session will convene in
time to elect a senator by
the first of February, we could
probably worry along with one
senator, as we have done since
March, 1897. Outside of a few
gentlemen, who have covetous
eyes cast in the direction of the
vacant seat in Washington, there
is no crying demand for an extra
session. It might be little hard
on them, but as they have waited
eighteen or twenty months, these
senatorial aspirants could prob
ably endure the strain for sixty
or ninety days longer.
At best, legislatures are ex-
pensive luxurics, and the pros
pect of having two of them
between October and February
will hardly thrill the average
Oregon taxpayer with delight.
It Is true, as urged by those
favoring all extra session, t:aat
the passage of appropriation bills
covering expenditures for the
past two years wsGs'ld wipe out
