RATE WAR IS
THING OF PAST

The Chronicle says: Now that the
Lothian, of the China Commercial
Steamship Company, has sailed for
Hongkong, and another vessel Of the
line will not be due for some weeks,
the Chinese steerage rate to the ORR
ent has been hoisted from 50 to So )
per passenger by the Pacific Mail
and Togo kisen Kaisha lines. the
most formidable of the China Com
mercial Company's competitors. 1t
may be stated that the Occidental and
Oriental line is as formidable COM
petitor, but as none of it's steamers
are in port, or will be for some days,
this company has not thus far en-
tered into the rivalry that has ex-
listed for the last two or three days.
When the Lothian went to sea on
Wednesday afternoon, with 600 Chi
nese steerage passengers, who had
paid SIS each for the fare to Hong
king, the desire for this class Of
traffic seems to have suddenly left
the Pacific Mail and Togo Kisen Kali
sha, the rate going up and only linn
tied amount Of space being available
On the Hongkong Maru, sailing yes
terday. Though ordinarily capable of
carrying several hundred persons in
the steerage, it was announced that
only fifty Chinese could be accom-
modated. This number, who had tax.
en- advantage of the 50 rate, sailed in
the liner for Hongkong. Plenty of
space and another 81 rate will, it is
expected, be available about the time
fixed for the departure of the Ching
Wo, the next of the China CONNER
cial Company's line to sail hence. The
rate of 81 ton on -four to Hongkong,
and 81 a ton on merchandise, quoted
by the Pacific Mail and it's allies to
force the Chinese company out of
business, Will not longer prevail, or at
least not until the Ching Wo arrives.
1t is said that the low. rate Of So
a ton for flour from Portland, ac-
copied by the Lothian, was negotiated
before the vessel left Hongkong, al
though the competing, lines here, be-
lieving, cut the rate to 81 ton. 1t
develops that the big cut was all for
nothing, and only tne Pacific Mail
and the Japanese lines will suffer d
loss in consequence.

TO PREVENT GROUP, begin in
time. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given, all tendency to Group will soop
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed. it will prevent the

The question was natural for Mr..

Yes, just that"
"And how's everything in Tonopah?"
The face of Mr.. Morris frightened.

he answered, with sudden enthusiasm.
IT'S great. You never saw anything
grow like 1t. There are 5000 people
there now, and two years ago there
were thirty. Talk about increase in
population. did you ever run against
anything like that?"
There was but one possible response.
The other man never had.
II thought not. There hasn't been
anything like 1t, and this Is only half

continuous rush. Well have railroad

ANY railroad?"
Not yet, but we've got one coming
up. The nearest station is Soda Springs
on the Carson & Colorado railroad, so
miles distant That's our shipping
point, but there'll be a branch road in
a short time. Everything is working
nicely and the road will be built; that
we can ship direct to Salt Lake City
without that sixty-mile drag OF expen-
sive hauling.
"The biggest company operating in

BEGINNING OF THE G. A. R.
Farmer" Coltrin's Version of How
1t Was Organized.

do you know" said Farmer" Col
trim, a well known old-time compost
tor of central Illinois, to the Blooming
ton correspondent of the Inter Ocean,
that if Joe Pryor and me hadn't been
printers Decatur might not have been
the birthplace Of the Grand Army of
the Republic?
ooooonMmyuIUyb ma mamamfwypwy
Stephenson and Routh, the origina-
tors Of the Grand Army, planned to
make it secret affair. They got up Q
ritual which contained lot Of stuff,
and were anxious that nobody but old
soldiers should see it. Routh came to
Decatur from Springfield and engaged
Pryor and me to set 1t up. They took
up subscriptions among the old settlers
to pay us for our work.
1T was intended to organize at
Springfield, but the Decatur veterans
became interested, and 1t was tried on
them first, and that is how Decatur de-
feated Springfield for the distinction Of
being the birthplace of the @. A. r. The
ritual had a lot of stuff in 1t that was
afterward cut out. The Sons of Malta
was the thing then, and the G. A. r.
ritual was patterned considerably after
that of the Maltas.
THE copy of Stephenson and Routh
was a badly miXed-up mess, and Dick
Steele rewrote it so that it became in
telligble for the compositors. 1t had
long eulogies of Lincoln and Douglas,
and did not resemble that in use by the
Grand Army today to any appreciate
extent. read 1t all some time ago,
when the contention came up between
Decatur and Rockford as to which had
the better authenticated claim to hav-
ing the first post, and l had to make
affidavit to it.
'The organization was different then,
and had a somewhat different idea.
You will remember that it became in
volved in politics and came near going
to pieces until General John A. Logan
was chosen national commander. It's
idea was to uphold the government,
and it was a sort Of patriotic vigilance
committee. It even passed resolutions
asking for the removal of some Office
holders whose records did not suit the
old soldiers Right after the war things
were in bad shape, and 1t did not take
much to excite the public mind.
Il don't know but what Routh ought
20 have the most credit for starting the
order, though l guess Stephenson
thought of 1t first. l thought more Of
Routh. He was genius and of great
er caliber than Stephenson. l had
lot of the original rituals we printed
stored at my houses for a good many
years, but finally destroyed them"

Poor Mans Chance.

1t Is being said In many Eastern
journals and not few Western ones
that the day of the poor man In min,
ing is gone by; that no one but big
corporation can succeed In mining any
more; that it takes big capital to do
anything; that most of the good min
ing propositions are controlled by
trusts or milionaires and that there
is no longer opportunity for mar
with little money. This is all mis-
take. The day of the poor" mining
man was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most OF the good
mines are owned by trusts or million
aires Is heard most often, but there Is
least in that of any Of the pessimlstic
utterances. One hears of the big mill
lionalre owners more than he does Of
the thousands of substantial COM
panies that go right on with little
notoriety, paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally, 1t may be justly said In an
swer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with a
little money, that never In the worlds
history were there fiuer opportunities
in mining for the man with little
money than In the west half OF Amer
lea today. Are you interested?

you nothing and will aid you in max
ing money.

The enforced resignation of NJ. Kov-
