Times must be good up in
Eastern Oregon. The Pendle-
ton East Oregonian of September
5th tells of an excursion train
passing through there from
Baker City to the Portland
carnival that had II pas
senger coaches when it
pulled out Of Pendlelon. Baker
City furnished over 800 passen-
gers al $3.50 a ticket for the
round trip, and Pendleton 125 at
IS Eugene Guard. Yes; and
times are good i'll the William
cite valley; and, in fact, all over
Oregon, Notwithstanding Mr..
Bryan's prediction that the
establishment or the gold stand
ard would bankrupt the country.
The Elk's excursion took nine
coaches of people out of Albany
and eight coaches were added at
Salem. There is plenty of
money in the country and the
workingman has it to spend.

The defeat of William McKin-
ley next November would mean
not only a panic in the business
world, due to a threatened radi-
cal change in the policies of the
government, but it would mean
a loss 10 the country of the ser
vices of that wise executive him
self and his splendid cabinet
headed by Secretary Hay, whose
achievements in diplomacy dur
ing the Chinese embodiment
have marked him the greatest
living diplomat. The expert
ence of these men and the conf
dence the people have learned to
repose in them, would mean a
severe blow to the country, were
it to lose their services during
the next four years by the de-
feat of Mckinley.

Billy and Mamie Goat.

George A. Houck, the we'll
known farmer and stock-raiser OF
Monroe, has written a very in
teresting article to the Pacific
Homestead and the following ex-
tract, on the subject of goats,
and the dividends an investment
in them will yield, will be very
instructive to many who are en-
gagged in this branch of industry
or who may have expectations of
making any such a move. He
says:
run my goats in two general
classes-those OIL shares and
those kept on my own land. AS
to the relative profit of these
classes, it would be a difficult
matter to oampare, as the ones
kept On my own land are clear
ing brush for me in addition to
the annual dividends cut from
their backs and the sale of the
increase. The ones on shares,
however, have never paid less
than 80 per cent. per annum on
the investment, and i'll one case I
made IS per cent. per annum Oh
the actual cash Investment for a
term of three years On a bunch
of 60 head. I usually let them
for terms of three years, getting
half of the lnohair. each year,
getting the old stock and half
the increase at end of term. I
sometimes let them for a year at
a time, however, and as I have
just divided on one band l can
give my exact income for the
last year-or rather, ten months.
These were average nannies:
Income for mohair, 1856 pounds
at so cents, ...... IS SO 80
Income from increase after the
old stock was made good. Al
head at $3, .................. 14l 90
Total income. $l96 80
My share being g..... .......$ SO 40
In other words, the SO goats
are worth as much as 81, $40 at 6
per cent. These figures for the
kids are what they could have
been sold for, when divided. I did
not SELL bought.

What Mr.. Bryan considers one
of his strongest indictments
against the republican party, is
the charge that the war taxes
were purposely arranged in the
interest of the corporations. The
Pullman Company stamps its
taxable paper without adding to
the price of its service to the
public or abating the wages of
its employees. The railroad COM
panies stamp their bills of lading
without trying to pass, the tax
to their customers. The only
corporation in the United States
that in the beginning exacted
the war stamp from the people
was Wells, Fargo, and its presi-
dent, John J. Valentine is out
tooth and toe nail for Bryan.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The Washington Traction Company Is
threatening an increase in the fare to
Brightwood and Tenleytown. Why should
the company not try first the virtues of
economical operation? There are several
ways which its managers ought to discover.
For instance, there Is great waste of
power in the production of light for the
cars, especially those running to Glen Echo
and Cabin John. On each of these cars dur
Ing the entire broiling summer season thir-
teen lights continuously burn from dark to
midnight. The amount of light is three
times too great for the needs of the COM
pany or desires of patrons. Surprising as
1t may seem, there is absolutely no flexi-
bility in the system of lighting. 1t is all or
nothing. The motOrman can regulate the
current of electricity for purposes of pro-
pulsion by the simple turning of the left
handlebar. But there appears to be no de-
vice whereby a comforting dimness of the
lights can be secured. 1t is the same In
the hot season as in the cold. We summer
stay-at-homes seek Glen Echo or Cabin
John for the breeze we get while the cars
are in motion, and for the GOODNESS of the
woods. the soothing effect of darkness after
the long, hot day. But no; this corporation
insists on making its cars light, so that
there Is no chance of rest for the eve and
brain. Light is heat And we have the
blazing sun In town and thirteen blazing
lights in the car. Though we pant for sur
cease OF the fierce rays, las pants the hart
for cooling streams the company insists
on wasting at least one-half the power
used in producing the lights. And now. be-
VINO travel Brightwood way must pay more

Proposed Electric RafIway-POIfce
Taking Census of the Dogs.


1t is understood a number of capitalists,
including some Georgetown men, are in
terested in the construction of a new elec-
tric railroad in Virginia. which will run to
Cheat Falls. 1t is stated that several parties
of surveyors have been at work marking
out a route for the proposed road. The sur
veyors have not as yet finished their work,
and until report has been received from
them eothing definite will be known. 1t 10
said that the road will proceed by way of
FairiaSs t;:ourt House. and thence shoot off
in a ncrtnwesterly direction for the falls
on the Virginia side.
The police of Georgetown are engaged in
making the annual dog census. The entire
town is divided into districts, and each Off
is VISITED and the inquiry made If there are
any dogs in the place. A large majority re-
port none, and of the houses where dogs are
kept, perhaps about half have so far re-
ported the purchase of tags. Those who
have not taken out license are notified to
do so. The census. as soon as completed,
will be forwarded to the superintendent Of
police.

cal, Dr. Isaac s. Stone. n specialist, of 1449
