The Railroads and Prosperity.

Among the items of increased cost in the operation of railways rot pub licly known is the large number cf additional employees required. The pay rolls Of the railways now carry over 2cG.000 more names than they did ten years ago, and that this is not wholly on account of increased mileage is shown by the fact that the number Of employees per mile of track has in creased nearly 15 per cent during that period.
 When this increase in number is take: into account and added to the increased rate in wages it is not strange that the railroads should feel the burden. This item is wholly apart from what is known as construction work, the men employed in that work not being carried on the operating rolls. The large amount thus dis bursed by the railroads is in no small degree responsible for the general prosperity of the country.
 Abundant wages form the main spring O. many industries, and is sec ond only to good crops in promoting commercial welfare. Should the time come when railroads, because of de crcasing revenues, are compelled to reduce wages, the effect will be very much wider than the immediate circle of railroad employees.

MT. BigeIow's Nightmare.

Poultney Bigelow, newspaper ccrTe- spondent and magazine writer whom American readers have for long time York the other day, that in the event of a war between the United States and Germany the Americans would get licked out of their boots before they got their wind.'' Germany" he said, could land a force of 100,G90 men on this side of the water, and the unpre parcdness of the United States would bring to this country disaster and ruin it would take years to overcome" :" Americans might be out of wind for time, but there is no danger that MT. Bigelow ever will be short in that re- spcct.
 In the first place the probability Of a war between the United States and Germany, or between the United States and any civilized power, is about as remote as the probab ability that MT. Bigei3w will get over his habit of strutting around ever the world and apcloSizing for his native land. And in the second place, if 190,0o0 German soldiers should land in this country, we '-allow"-in the language of Mark Smith $ stOry-"that their families would want to learn whar they gone - Tie ''invasion" of any country dces not present insuperable military diff cu!ties.

Island is already advertising Arizona to some extent, but is not giving nearly so much attention to this terri tory as to California, and it's literature will not compare with that of the Santa Fe road, for instance, in the amount of space given to the attrac- tions O. Arizona. The ird of trade should get into communication with Mir Campbell, and arrange for a proper treatment of Arizona in the Rock Island advertising.
 Another pointer: Neither the Rock Island nor any other railroad shouii be requested to lay all emphasis upon Phoenix as health rescrt. Many years ago Florida abandoned the plan of inviting all the sick people of the cal tn. and long ago Los Angeles and southern California learned the same lesson. Quite properly. they lay stress elers. Few people comprehend the rapidity with which wealth is increaS- ing in the United States, and little note is taken Of the fact that the wealthy people who seek a mild eli mate in winter now comprise vast army of travellers. But a small num- Der of them comparatively, know any thing about Arizona s incomparable winter climate. Few know that this territory is infinitely ahead of Cali fornia, southern Texas, or Florida, in all that goes to make up a perfect climate in winter, and what they do hear concerning Arizona mainly re- lates to it's attractions for sick people.
 Put the vast majority of wealthy people who go travelling in winter are not hunting a hospital.

The Ablation of a Myth.

Assyria continues to yield her tab .,ts. Egyat her tonlbs. Rome her ghosts. The latter have no terroGs for Professor Airoli With commend2ble forcthoug,lt this gentleman has re- Cc1tIv tGoied coach and four straight through the tiresume cid E5mulUs myth. A description of the process you'd be tedious as is the myth, and even otherwise is quite as unimpor- tant The point is that in Professor Aircli We may welcome an &rch2eo- logist who differs advantaSeously from his colleagues. He is ret trying to re- write the comic history of the past.
 One of therl. a MT. Morgan. some time since found at Nigedah 9 tolno which he declared belonged to Nenes. Why not u Moses? With Q pleasantrs of that description he would have q1.ite outdone the enterprise of another of these chaps who, with unblushinS yet wagSish nendacity, declared that l.e had disinteri ed the jewel case of the Buddha. Coincidently announce nent was made by the director-gen cral of the Egyptian excavation fund that he had found the tomb Of Osiris. 1t that time We hooed he would not stop there. and he did not. He found the tcmD of Isis.
 These discoveries kept the rest of the gang awake, particularly P,Cfesscr Lanciari, who shortly, to the complete discCmfiture of his brethren, pro- claimed that he had not been idle either and with enGearing cfronterf produced. if you please. first the tomb of Rolnulus and then the fig tree under 1 which he was nursed.

By way Of re- dccnier here now comes Professor Airoii. It is q rity there are not more like him. There are other myths, fables without number legends with out end that all need ablation.

Cass Lake. MINI, Dec. 30.-The really
difficult work In connection with the sale
of the timber at the local land office on
Monday is being" done at the present time,
l. e., the classification, tabulation and de-
termining Of the bids. While there were
but ten companies Or persons Offering bids,
the bids were not only for groups OF ten
sections. but nearly all of the larger COM
panies made offers separately for each
section embraced In their group bids. This
has made complication that will take
cool heads and mathematical minds to

Mr. Pollock says that the results of their
findings will, as was the case in the sale
on the 5th inst. not be divulged, until
after they have been passed upon by the
Recretary of the interior and that official
has made his decision in the matter, which

of the bids will require careful considera-

more than one company VIII receive spOr-

syndicate again made a "capsheaf" bid
which involved a large sum Of money. Its
main bid was for 120 sections. on which
there was estimated to be about 162, 900, 900
feet of pine. It's certified checks for this
amounted to $975,O0O which included a
bonus Of 35 cents thousand If this
