ried Out.

S21 FralcisCO.-FrOm high official
sources il is learned that Hartman
has taken up the proposition of ex-
tending the 0. R. & n. line into Cen
tral Oregon and has intimated that
this viii be his next important move
on the Pacific Coast. The news
leaked out through the recent mys-
terious departure of A. L. MOhler,
president Of the o. R. & n.
Mohler, it has been ascertained,
went to New York to meet Hartman,
who has just returned from Europe,
wnere he had gone to recuperate af-
ter the operation performed Oh him
for appendicitis.
The advantages Of the O. R. & N.
extension would be to permit the Har-
man lines TO invade the lumber dis
tricts and by direct eastward route
avoid the present roundabout way of
backhauling to northern points It is
expected that the conference between
Hartman and Mobler will result in
something definite that will interest
the northern railroad.
There are a number Of O. r. & n.
construction projects on fCoc and it
is thought that Hartman at lhe pres
ent conference will decide what are
feasible. The construction Of the
Columbia Southern has been pending
since the magrate retired to Europe
During his absence & comprehensive
report on the country the COntem-
plated extension would tap has been
prepared and the substance Of thai
report was cabled to Hartman.
There is hardly any doubt, accord
ing to reports from the same source
but whats the Columbia Southern will
eventually be built, and the northern
ers are provoked at the delay. for
they realize that the development of
the country has been retarded and
that another season must elapse be
fore active operations can be com
menced.

STARVE THEM OUT!

Why not starve the germs
to death? SCOTS Emulsion
will do it.
The germs of consumption
are an invading army number
ing millions upon millions
they must all be fed or they
will soon die of starvation. A
lung a little below "par in
vitality is just to their liking.
Why not put new life into
it? SCOTS Emulsion feeds
the lungs. 1t fills the blood
with nourishing food for all
the weak parts. Good food
means life. Life means re-
sistive force.
Germs cannot live on heal
thy tissue. SCOTS Emulsion
and good fresh air drive out
the germs of consumption
Well send you a sample free upon request.

FLOOD FUND ENJOINED.
Case from Argentine Now In
Supreme Court.

The first flood relief fund quarrel
reached the supreme court this after
noon. 1t came from Argentine and re-
suits from the manner in which the re-
lief fund is being used.
John NJ. Upton. who is the plaintiff.
says he is acting for the other Argentine
flood sufferers. He names as defendants
the members of the relief fund commit
tee, and says they have received about
$50, 600 from charitably inclined persons
all over the United States for the bene-
fit of the flood sufferers.
About $4,000 has already been used
for the benefit of the city itself, repair
ing sidewalks, pavings, culverts and
other public property. This, Upton all
leges, is wrong, and that the money
should have been given directly to the
flood sufferers personally.
He asked the district court of Wyandotte
county for an Injunction to restrain the
distribution of the balance of the fund IN
that manner. The injunction was granted;
but the court OF common please dissolved
it, and now Upton appeals TO the supreme

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Way to Stop Mobs.

New York World:
From Danville. Ill, come reports of
the growth of sentiment in favor of the
sheriff who repulsed a mob at the jail
doors. 1t is gratifying to learn of the
existence of a strong and healthful pub
lie opinion, without which agitation
against mob murders will be almost
hopeless. Commenting upon the pres
ent epidemic of lynching, the American
Review of Reviews in its current issue
refers. as the World has done, to the
examples of the New York police in
mob emergencies. Their success in
quelling disorder is due to the fact that
they never for a moment parley with
mob" Sheriff Whitlock at Danville
and Gov. Durbin, of Indiana, have dis
played the same Indispensable vigilance.
promptness and courage. 1t is be-
yond question that an infusion of the
same spirit in other lawless localities,
backed as in Danville by the approval
of orderly people, Will discourage and
eventually stop murder by mobS-
