from 1891 To 1897 and how remarkably
rapid the growth has been since that

stock. for example. from 1891 To 1897
was only about COCO ears. whereas the
increase from 1897 to 1880 WAS nearly
100000 cars. The tons of freight mov
ed was little greater in 1897 than in
1893, but lN99 shows an increase of
nearly one fourth over 1897. Passen-

1t must be remembered in consider
ing the above that IA very large proper
ton of the Other operating expenses"
aud of til" expenditure on permanent
Improvements actually goes to pay
wages In the purchase Of rolling
stock. for example, the bulk of the
purchase money goes To pay wages of
workmen in locomotive and car shops
just as would be the case if the rolling
stock were built in the company's own
shops. Making allowance for this, 1t
seems probable that not less than 90

vised that this summary method be re.

was to make It appear that this Is tough

of fact, at that time no homicide had ever
taken place here, in the more than thirty
wears Of the towns existence. II Is un.
doubtedly the most orderly, law abiding

AN object lesson illustrating the fact
that "all roads lead to Sumpter," was

IL seems tohe peculiarly OregoneSque
tor papef, in this section not to give a fair,
honest credit for articles taken from other
papers. IN many instances coming under
IHE MINERS observation ot late, no
credit Is given at all, while IN mos, cases
1t is concealed in the middle OF some long
paragraph. IN nine cases out oi ten this
credit iS the important feature oi the story,
giving It a location. Jus, why editors
should ieel any reluctance to give proper
credit, Is difficult 10 conceive.
DURING the past week The MINER
has been shown several letters, received

expressing Solicitui, regarding their health,
and repeating stories they had heard about

What One Woman Thinks.

The less a woman thinks the more
she talks.
Home and mother are frequently
synonymous terms.
1t is only a very pretty woman who
can cry becomingly.
Theatres always have wings, but
nobody ever saw them fly.
When young man goes to court it
is usually to press his suit.
What might have been is sometimes
not nearly SO bad as what has been,
Even the parents who are the most
considerable of their childrens health
frequently urge them to "take more
pains"
There may be men who look on
life as an empty dream, but an empty
coal bin is apt to make it a pretty
chilly reality.
A woman that respects herself, says
a Chinese proverb, is more beautiful
than a single star; more beautiful
than many stars at night.
The small boy can never reconcile
the principles Of the Declaration Of
Independence with the restrictions
placed on the amount of pie he should
eat.
