INGALLS, AND SHERMAN.
How the Kansas senator waited For
Tive Years 90 Get Even

nv" AHE <0< SENATOR I" 2ItEd For
Tive Years 10 Get Even.
In the course OF his memoirs OF de-
parted statesmen Senator Vest tells OF
a sharp passage between Senator John
J. Ingalls, and Senator John sherman.
Ingalls, had reported from the pen
sions committee a bill granting n PEN
sion 20 all who had served thirty days
In the Federal army. He stated that
the bill had been unanimously Endorsed
by the Republican national convention.
DE moved an immediate consideration
and resumed his seat. THE Democrat
ic senator's felt much delicacy i'm CD
posing any pensions proposed by the
Republicans" says Senator Vest. and
they knew that any opposition on their
part would be quoted as evidence OF
their hostility TO Union soldiers. There
was profound silence for a moment.
and Senator Sherman then addressed
the chair, stating that the time had not
yet come for service pensions TO the
soldiers OF the last war. He stated that
no convention, national or state. had
the right to instruct him as 10 his SEN
atorial duty, and he objected to the
present consideration OF the bill. The
measure went to the calendar and died
there, while the crowd OF pension at.
torneys who had originated the scheme
formed sad procession as they fled
out or the galleries. uttering fierce
anathemas against the Ohio senator"
Senator Vest declares that Ingalls,.
who never forgot nor forgave. nursed
his wrath and two years afterwar1 bad
his revenge when Sherman appea red
before the District OF Columbia COM
mittee. OF which Ingalls, was chairma n.
and advocated an appropriation bill
providing for the extension Of Four
teenth street to Columbia heights
where Sherman was large owner Of
real estate. Senator Sherman In urg-
Ing the bill said that Washington
should be made the most beautiful cap
ital in the world and should have
streets. parks and public buildings
equal to those OF Rome when she was
mistress OF the world. ingalls, drvIv
remarked that he had no objection to
improving Washington city so as to
make it the superior OF Rome in every
respect. but that he had never heard OF
a Roman senator asking for an extern
sion Of the Appian Way at public ex-
pense in order to increase the vaIue OF
his suburban property"
But after this telling shot the Kan
sas senator voted for the measure

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
JOBPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount to
much, so far "a success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see a piece of job print
ing crowded and the type TANNED
too close together, with dirty-lOoking
ink aud finger marks smeared over
it, on low grade of paper, it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
In fact, you don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. 1t is
therefore a duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.

FOR HEPPNER COAL

The o. r. n n. is considering the
purchase of the Heppner, Ore. coal
fields. DR.. II. Schumann, coal en-
pert, has just completed ten days
mination of the properties for the
railway.
c. f. Redfeld, secretary of the
Heppner Railroad * Coal company,
which own the mines, says: "Presi :
dent A. L. Mohler of the o. r. Il n.
says his company will certainly take
up the property IL we have the
quality and quantity we represent.
Their experts has found our state
ments most conservative.
"Our deposits are in an area Of
5000 acres, thirteen miles long and
four or five miles wide. We have
three veins, which will supply 1900
tons of coal daily for 100 years.
We can mine the coal for l.25
ton and lay 1t down at Portland
for less than 50. The o. r. l. n.
tested ten tons between Portland and
The Dalles. The locomotive hauled
sixty-hve cars from Portland and
burned 700 pounds less of the Hepp-
ner coal than IL would have consumed
Of the Wyoming coal regularly used
on the road on train Of sixty cars.
Coal now costs the O. r.. l. n.
between s5 and 90 pert on. We can
supply the road at 81 to 81. SO per
ton, and save the company 81, OOO,-
900 per year. That's what Mr..
Mohler told us. His road bruins
500, 600 tons a year.
1.-THE properties are about twenty
one miles south Of Heppner. They
will be reached by extending the o.
R. Il n. up Willow creek. The ex.
tension will cost about $3.50, 600.
The owners of the coal teds have al.
ready spent $3.50, 900 in developing
the properties"
