PARKER.

Some of the beet farmers are feeling
pretty blue. They have several acres of
beets in the ground not dug There Is
scarcely a farmer that has made ex-
penses. The farmers are several hundred
dollars behind. One man is over 81, 900
out. The cause of this great loss to the
farmers is because there was an influence
brought to bear against bringing in the
Jap labor to give the white labor the
preference and it has been bit of
experience dearly bought. They put a
lot Of children or babies in the field and
the consequence was the work was not
half done and the Japs were brought in
too late. Another cause of the loss was
the long haul If a team cannot make
three trips day it will not pay. There
are several hundred tons of beets in
ground which it will be impossible tc
dig this winter. This will be great
loss to the farmers
A great amount of the potato crop is
not dug This will also be heavy loss

New Train Schedule
Some Changes That Will Go Into
Effect Nov. 22.-NO. 7 Will Run
to St. Anthony.

The new train schedule for the Oregon
Short Line isabout completed and ready.
for publication. 1t will go into effect
Sunday, the 22nd day of this month.
The greatest changes are on the Mon
tana division, where No. is changed
to run from Salt Lake to ST. Anthony,
instead of from Salt Lake to Butte
heretofore. This train will leave Salt
Lake at 1920 each morning and arrive
at Pocatello at 4:40 in the afternoon,
leaving at $50 and arriving at st. An
thony at 7:45 the same evening. 1t will
remain at St. Anthony over night and
start on the return trip at 8 a. m. next
morning as No. 10 and arrive at Poe
tello at 1915 and leave for the south at
1855, reaching Salt Lake at p. m.
No 8, the regular Butte train. will
leave Salt Lake at II :45 p. III. and arrive
at Pocatello at 6:30 next morning
Leaving here at 7:35, it will arrive at
Butte at $50 p IN.
No. 8, the southbound train from

each day and arrive at Pocatello at 80
a. m and leave for Salt Lake at 2:30 a.
m, arriving at that place at 500 that
morning.
| The new train for the St Anthony
branch will not affect the present mixed
train. which will continue to run as
mixed train with only such minor
changes as are necessary to make it con-
form to the new schedule The Mackay
branch will not be effected except in the
same manner The train with which
each of these branch trains will connect
will leave here just two hours sooner
than is now the case, enabling the
branch trains to leave that much sooner
for their destinations.
On the Idaho division, the most nota-
BILE thing is the changing of No. 5, the
morning westbound train, which will
hereafter be known as No. II. No
reason is assigned for the change in the
designation of this train and no con
lecture has been made by any one. The
change in its time is not so noticabl
; 1t will arrive in Pocatello at 705 and
leave at 7:35 Il. m. No. 1, the other
west bound train, will leave here at
and leave at 5:40p. IN. OF the eastbound
trains, No will arrive at 1920 noon
instead OF 1 :35 as heretofore and will
leave at 12:45, instead at 1 80 a. m
| No tho piuhf trair ooct will rri I,
at 300 p. m,, as formerly, and will leave
at 2:45.
AS stated before, there may be some
minor changes ia these schedules before
, going into effect, but nothing that will
effect the general arrangement

The production was admirably staged,
and Miss Shirley wore some exquisite
gowns. "a Modern Magdalen' is one
of those modern problem plays,in which
life in all its phases, both good and bad,
is portrayed. 1t has its good and its
bad characters. AS Katinka Miss
Shirley sacrifices herself to save sister,
who is dying for want of medical care
and proper nourishment. Her father is
an improvident and genteel sort of a
sot, character that is exceptionally
we'll done by George D. McQuarrie.
Katinka goes on the variety stage and
becomes the mistress of married man,
who deceives her by telling her he is
divorced. Katinka lives in opulence
and becomes reigning favorite, much
built along the same lines as Zaza, with
the exception that Katinka enters
deliberately upon her new life for the
purpose of aiding her half sister. She
makes regular monthly remittances of
her ill-gotten gains to her father who
takes the money without a blush and
pretends to his family that he is in the
insurance business. All the while
Katinka loves poor, but earnest youth
of her girlhood acquaintance, but she
temporarily forsakes him, knowing that
the family must have provider.
The action of the play reveals some
striking dramatic situations, notably in
the fourth act when Katinka rebukes
her father and tells him that he never
pointed to her the way to look up, bu
to go down. The self-convicted father
sinks away from her presence at thi
denunciation.
Another splendid character in th'
play is Brinker, done by Wilson Forbes

Emperor William Operated Upon.

Emperor William underwent an
operation for the removal of a polypus
from his larynx last Saturday. The
operation was performed by Pro Moritz
Schmidt and was entirely successful.
The only inconvenience suffered by the
emperor is that he has been enjoined
not to speak until the wound caused by
the operation has been healed. The
surgeons expect him to be out of doors
in a week, and do not think the polypus

Government Control of Railways in
Mexico.

The Government of Mexico has
purchased the major part of the re-
cent issue of the Interoceanic Rail
road Company's bonds, thus obtain
ing the controlling interest in the
road.
The bonds were bought at 9O18 per
cent of their nominal value, and bear
interest at the rate of 472 per cent
annually. Payment was made from
the reserve funds of the National
Treasury.
In commenting on the transaction,
the public press says that the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury
have been actuated by motives of the
greatest Importance to the welfare of
the industries of the country, not in
seeking a profitable investment for
the reserve funds in the Treasury,
but in trying to prevent the forma-
ton of export traffic of the Republic.
The Mexican Government being in
control of a railroad of the first i'm
pOrtanceJ like the In~teroceanic Rail
road, all freight determinations to
the injury of native manufacturing
and commercial interests will be pre-
vented.

A New Move of the Tobacco Trust

If we may trust the newspapers, J,
Pierpont Morgan is seeking to make
more secure the power of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, under which
name n Of the most grasping of
trusts does business. MI. MORGAN
recently was in Cuba and it is said
while there he bought up all the lands
in the Vuelta Abajo district, upon
which is grown the finest grade Of
leaf tobacco used in the manufacture
of the best brands of HAVANA cigars.
The tobacco is known the world over
for its delightful aroma, and as no
product to equal it has ever been
successfully cultivated in any other
district, the acquisition of the prop
erty will give the American combine
an enormous advantage in the cigar
trade. The report says that the pur-
pose of Mr.. Morgan's purchase is
said to be to secure the Vuelta Abajo
tobacco exclusively for the use of
the factories of the American Cigar
Company, which is a branch Of the
American Tobacco Company. If
these intentions are carried out the
independent clear HAVANA factories
in Tampa, Key West, New Orleans,
New York and other cities would
have to look elsewhere for their fine
grade leaf tobacco. The transaction,
it is said, involved several Millions

A Crusade Against tuberculosis.

We may find ourselves engaged
presently in a crusade for the prac-
teal eradication of consumption;
and pray heaven we may! By a con-
certed effort street cars, stations,
other public places, and even some
streets in some cities, we're made
and have been kept clean of sputum;
and now, with increasing frequency
and earnestness, the proper treat
ment of the disease in it's early stages
is urged, demanded, begged for.
There is talk of municipals hospitals;
there r plans for public instruction
about the disease; and there are 9TH
er signs of a general awakening.
Every person who reads must now
know that the disease is not conta-
gious; that it is preventable; that
many cases are curable-most cases.
If treated in time; that it is not
inherited; but that it is transmitted
by inhaling the tubercle bacillus.
Yet in New York city alone n
hundred new cases develop every day;
and there are 10000 known to the
health officers. Yet there is not a
hospital in the city where the cases
are treated in their early stages.
1t is perhaps the most striking
instance that could be found of un-
utilized definite knowledge that is
OF vital Importance. We know de-
hnltely how to save hundreds of
thousands of lives; but because it is

Amendments the New Hampshire
Constitution.

Six of the ten amendments sub
mitted to the voters of New Hamp-
shire by the recent Constitutional
Convention we're rejected at the
polls. Popular interest centered
chiefly in the woman's suffrage
amendment. Prominent representa-
tives of the National organizations
for and against the proposal played
an active part in the campaign. BY
mass-meetings, petitions, and tree
discussions the voters had been we'll
lined up before election day, but IN
stead of two-thirds vote necessary to
it's adoption, it was lost by very near
ly a two-thirds negative vote. In a
State in which over $4,000 votes were
cast in a Presidential year, only 49,
600 voters, in round numbers, favored
woman suffrage strongly enough
to vote for it; and scarcely more
than $4,000 cared enough about it to
vote either for or against it. In
some places barely a half of those
who actually went to the polls took
the trouble to vote on the question
a fact which apparently indicates
that the amendment was not taken
very seriously. Next in public inter
est was the proposed amendment en-
towering the Legislature to tax fran
chises and inheritances. It was
adopted, as was also an amendment
regarding the control of trusts. The
latter has little significance except
as showing the disposition of the
people on the subject; it seems to
confer no new power. Two other
amendments we're adopted; an unim-
portant n regarding militia Off
GERS, and one requiring that hence
forth no new voter be qualified who
is not able to read the Constitution
in English and to write.-Exchange.

GENERAL NEWS
The Strike Commission Awards.

On Saturday last the Coal Strike
Commission, as was hoped, rendered
a unanimous decision upon the SUI
premely important industrial dis
pute submitted to it's arbitrament.
The awards upon the chief points
in dispute were as follows:
/. Wages: A ten per cent increase
to all miners who are paid according
to the amount of work done, and to
all other employees whose hours re-
main unchanged.
3. Hours: Eight hours Cor three
shifts) daily without any reduction
of pay to engineers and fremen now
working twelve hours or two shifts,
in hosting water; free Sundays and
a five per cent increase in pay to
pumpmen, and a nine-hour day with
present wages to substantially all
other workmen paid by the day.
3. Payment by weight: Pro-
nounced impracticable in many
mines, and not to be extended except
by mutual agreement between en-
ployers end employed; the miners
to be permitted to employ check
weighmCn and check docking bosses
where they think it desirable to in
sure fair treatment.
4. Recognition of union: Future
disputes to be submitted to a perman-
ent board of Cancellation, of whom
three members shall be selected by
the employers, three by miners of
the three districts or by "an Organi-

said miners" and the umpire, in ease
of disagreement, to be selected by one
of the United States Circuit Judges
of the district containing the an
thracite fields; neither union nor non
union men to be Disseminated
against in any way by either employ
ers or unions.
5. Sliding scale of wages: In case
the price of coal at tide-water is
above $3.50 per ton (for standard
quality and sizes) the mine workers
shall receive additional one per cent
in wages for each five cents added
to the designated price of coal, but
in case the price of coal at tide-water
falls below $3.50 per ton there shall
be no reduction in the wages award
ed by the Commission.
1t is stipulated hal the general
ten per cent advance in wages shall

The Panama Canal.

The ratification by the extra ses-

Colombia looking to the building of
a trans-isthmian canal through Pana-
ma is a long stride forward in this
gigantic task. It gets the Legislative
problem out of the way, for as the
treaty passed without a single amend

neering, financial and commercial
problems still remain to be worked
out. Senator Tillman and others
seem to think that the canal will
never be built, but the United States
are not accustomed to putting their
hands to the pillow and looking back.
The Panama Canal will certainly be
one of the modern seven wonders OF
the world. The action of the Senate
in ratifying the treaty marks an
epoch in the history of this country.
The cost of the Panama route.
originally selected by De Lesseps, the
great French engineer and construc-
tor of the Suez Canal, is $4O,OOO,00O.
The length will be 46 miles, of which
one-half will be at sea-level. Of this
10 miles have already been completed.
About two-ffths of the work has
been done, which materially lessons
the cost of the undertaking. The
canal will not be at sea-level, as this
would be too costly, but ships will
be transferred by a system of lock-
age There vii be eight locks from
Panama to Colon. If later on in the
course of time it is found desirable
to change to a sea-level canal, it will
not be difficult to do so.
The most vexing engineering diff
culties to be overcome are the Guile
bra cut and the floods in the Chagres
River. The bottom of the big ditch
at the deepest point at Culebra will
be 286 feet below the surface, and
at the top the length of the cut is
eight miles. When working in this
cut De Lesseps found a danger to lie
in the sliding in of the banks, but
this may be overcome, it is learned,
by properly draining the slopes of the
big hill. The Chagres River floods
will be c"ounteracted by a dam at
BOhio, and the waters thus retained
will be used in floating the worlds
navies in the dry months of the
year.
The Canal Commission estimated
that the cost of the canal would be
$144,233,358, and the time to be con-
sumed in the work of construction
ten years. 1t will be about eighteen
months before the work will be be-
gun.-Charlotte Observer.
