Fast Mail to Seattle.

The widespread public interest In
the contest for the fast mail contract
between Chicago and Omaha has
caused one temporarily to overlook
the similar achievement Of the Great
Northern railway in establishing
quick mail communication from New
York, via Chicago and st. Paul, to
Seattle, and thence to the Orient. The
fast Pacific mail service by way Of
st. Paul to the Puget Sound country
is now quite as remarkable as that via
Omaha to San Francisco. On January
the Great Northern placed in serv-
ice a fast through mail and passen-
ger train from Chicago to Seattle, on
which the mail pouches never once
leave the car after the transfer at
St. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time
by this Northern route is just four
days. East of st. Paul the mails are
that city-on a run exceeding the
eastern portion by 500 miles-the
mail goes through without change
across five great States on the tracks
Of the Great Northern. Forty-five
minutes are consumed in transferring
the mails in Chicago, and thirty min
utes in st. Paul. After that the
Northern Oriental flyer does the rest
without a pause until the Asiatic
mails go on board the steamers Of
the Japan Mail Steamship Company.
Both the Importance of Seattle as an
Oriental shipping point and the speed
of the Great Northern transconti-
mental mail service make the achieve
ment noteworthy feature of Amer
lean railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have al
ready become formidable rivals OF
San Francisco as regards the freight
and passenger traffic for Japan, China
and Asiatic ports. The steamer route
from Seattle to the Orient seems to
be more free from storms than that
from San Francisco, and as large
proportion Of the Oriental exports are
products of the Northwest the freight
traffic has naturally taken this course.
The fact that the full capacity of the
Japan Mail Steamship Company's
boats is engaged as far ahead as next
August is in itself a striking proof of
the growing Importance of the
Oriental trade that has its outlet at
Seattle.

Thin Veneerlng.

Few people have an idea how thin g
sheet of veneer may be cut with the aid
of improved machinery. There is
firm in PaSis which makes business
of cutting veneers, and to such perfec-
ton have they brought it that from a
single tusk thirty inches long they will
cut a sheet of ivory $50 inches long and
twenty inches wide. Some of the
sheets of rosewood and mahogany are
only about a flftieth of an inch in
thickness.

Winged Ants.

Winged ants always fly in companies
sometimes very numerous. When Col
onel Augustus Frazer, on Oct. 6, 1913
was watching the battle of the Pyre-
nees from the mountain called Pena de
Aya he and his officers were suddenly
surrounded by such a cloud Of ants that
their view of the battle was cut on and
they we're compelled to seek another
station.

ANTI-ExPANsIONIsTs.
NEW YORK. June 16.-A cable to
the Sun dated Manila, June 10th, 1880
D. m, says: The Filipino junta at
Hongkong is extremely active in re-
porting the operations Of the anti-ex-
pansionists in the United States. 1t
says that the present propaganda
against the annexation of the Philip
pines will affect the American cleo
tions, and will soon result in the over
throw of President Mckinley and the
election Of a party which will recog-
nize the independence of the insur-
gents. There Is no doubt that these
statements give great backbone to the
rebels and encourage natives to fight
who would otherwise be quiet, know
ing that their cause is hopeless. A
prominent fighting General said today
that these objectors at home are di-
rectly responsible for the loss Of many
American lives, and that they are
making necessary extra efforts to sub
due the insurrection by their encour-
agement of the Filipinos. He added
that the bringing about Of peace would
be comparatively easy were 1t not for

Railway Men Were Discerning.

Republican prosperity saved many
railways. Last year forty-five lines in
the hands of receivers prospered suffi-
GENTLY to enable them to get out of
court, and only small railways were
turned over to receivers. In the last
national campaign Democratic papers
and politicians condemned railway cor
porations and employees for lending
their support to the Republican party,
and denounced Republicans as being in
league with corporations. The result
of Republican success shows that the
railway people knew their business.
The changes referred to transferred
6,116 miles of road, with a capital of
1921, 1921, 239, from ~receiverships to the
hands of their stockholders.
During the year the number Of per-
sons employed by the railroads in
creased 51,0S2, the whole number being
S74, 55S. The entire amount of wages
paid vas $495, O55, SIS, an Increase of
$29, asa, O37 over the year preceding. The
gross earnings of the roads for the year
under review was 81, PAT, 1926, 621, an in
crease of 1925, 235, S4S, while the amount
paid in dividends was 500, 1862, 1889, or an
average of 5.29 per cent on all the stock
on which dividends We're declared.
These facts are shown by the annual
report of the United States commerce
commission.

American Woman in a Mexico Jail.

The delivery to Mexico of Mrs. Rich,
accused of numbering her husband, is
the first Ease of extradition under the
new treaty. There Is strong evidence
| against the m Had the president
refused to surrender her, a precedent
would have been established that would
be embarrassing when the United States
asks for surrender of a citizen of Mex
leo for numbering any one in this coun-
try. The governor of Chihuahua, how

to be bent on making a spectacular dis

ventional garb of the goddess of liber-
ty and wrapped her head with a fold of
the stars and stripes. The prisoner has
Travelled as a performer in a circus. The

Too Much Reqqinq.

Merchants and public officials are
considered the legitimate prey Of the
man or woman with a subscription list.
They are expected to contribute liber-
ally to every imaginable object, from
buying a piano for the heather to erect
ing a monument for a hero. Woe to the
business man who refuses to contribute!
He is threatened with loss of custom
and popularity, and is set down as an
enemy to public spirit. In many towns
and cities business men fairly groan
under the burden of taxation by people
who ask something for nothing, under
the cloak of charity. Business men are
generally willing to help worthy chart
ties, but they know that two out Of ev-
cry three appeals to generosity are triv-
ial or selfish. The subscription beggar
is a nuisance, though sometimes a me-
ceSSity.

County Finances.

San Juan county has money on hand,
although the expenses of the past six
months have been heavy. 1t is as wise
for a county to have a surplus for cur
rent expenses as for an individual. A
bankrupt county with poor credit has
to pay more for services and supplies
in the long run than that can plank
down cash. Counties that have so long
been in financial stress, and which can
now get out of debt, owing to the
prompt payment of taxes under the very
excellent Duncan revenue law, should
be exceedingly careful to incur no un-
wise expenses. BY keeping down eX-
travagance the counties will be in a
position to meet liabilities and to pro-
cure loans on bonds to the best advan-
tage, when it is necessary to build cost
ly bridges and public buildings.

Considerably less than half the men
who have served as secretary of war
for the United States had army expe-
rience or knew anything of military af-
fairs prior to accepting the position.
The secretary usually looks after the
business of the war department, and the
commanding general or the president,
as commander-in-chief, attends to the
army and directs when there is fighting
or organization needed. Critics who
think that a soldier should have been
chosen by President Mckinley should
remember that a soldier secretary has
just been retired, who was not a con-
spicuous success, in the opinion of the
army and of the people in general.
