La Grande, Oct. 17.-Surveys are
complete for a narrow guage logging
railroad from Hilgard up the Grand
Ronde river. about 80 miles, to a
heavy body of timber owned by the
Grand Ronde Lumber Company of
Perry, on the slopes of the Blue
mountainst
This company has driven its logs
down the river for the past IL years.
but 1t is now becoming almost i'm
possible to get sufficient amount of
logs by this method for the seasons
run, and the company has determined
to build road to the timber.
There are several hundred thous-
and acres of excellent yellow pine on
the mountains, which will keep the
mills running for many years and as
the grade could be built along the
river canyon, at a small expense,
comparatively, the company will un-
dertake that task in the near future,
perhaps next spring.
The mills employ about 200 men
during the busy season, and the COM
pany of Mormon people who recent
ly purchased 1t, are practical and
progressive mill men and will enlarge
their trade as rapidly as possible

MAXWELL ON IRRIGATION.
Says Every Striker of the Past Year
Could Have Lived Like a King on
One Acre.

Could Have Lived Like a King on
One Acre.
George H. Maxwell. executive chair
man of the National Irrigation AS
sociation, was the speaker at a meet
ing held in the rooms of the Helena
Business Mems Association last eve
ming, and while the attendance was
small-woefully small when the i'm
portance of the subject discussed is
considered-the address was full of
interest as a clear presentation of the
question, to the furtheranee of which
Mr.. Maxwell has for several years de-
voted much of his time, says the Hell
ena Independent.
The One-Acre Farmer.
Mr.. Maxwell spoke of the conditions
in Chicago during the packing strike,
when women and children stood in
line for hours to get a few potatoes
with which to sustain life
He referred to the Yellowstone
county exhibit at the state fair, and
declared that there was not one of
the men involved in the great strike
who could not come to Montana and
by the cultivation of only one acre of
land, live better year i'm and year out
than he could on any wages received
at the stockyards.
There is" Mr.. Maxwell said. "a
valley of 100000 acres near Helena
on which the government can put
water-and will. Divide that area in
to five-acre farms, and put family
on each farm. and figure out what
that would mean to Helena.
within five years from the date
of the establishment of a practical
system of Industrial education, one
million people could be brought into
Montana
THE man who knows how to cul-
tivate a five-acre farm in Montana,
scientifically, will make more money
the year round than the man who
raises hay and grain and stock on a
farm of 100 acres. And the settlers
who come into this new land will have
Gods fresh air to breathe and good
homes to live in, and the horrible So
cial conditions that exist in the cities
will disappear"

A Negotiable Incident.

The Tucson Star published several columns of the presidents message the day before the message was delivered the presidents confidence, and a vio- laticn of the confidence of the general manager of the Associated Press, through whom the message was fur nished to all papers taking the service of that association. It was through a fear that something of this kind might happen and disgrace Arizona journal ism that The Republican last week mentioned the growing custom of some territorial papers of showing their len graphic forecasts of presidential messages and other documents entrust- ed to the papers in confidence and under an injunction that the matter be held secret until released by telegraph. The papers which have been in the habit of offending in the past took the hint, and refrained from indulging Tn any forecasts of the message.
 It remained for The Star to publish several thousand words of the mes sage, Yerbat tim, before it was released for publication. The Star explains that it was a. "grievous error," and it cer- tainly was all of that. We cannot be- lieve that it was due to anything but the stupidity of subordinates in the office of that paper.
 But it is extremely unfortunate, nev- crtheless, that the odium of a violation of the presidents confidence must at tach itself to an Arizona newspaper. in the past has suffered inn from a disreputable class of newspapers, and it is regrettable that any error, no matter how irno- gently committed, must again direct the attention of the country to it's previous conceptions of territorial jour- nalism.

THREE MEN KILLED.
Freight Train CoIlided on Delaware
 and Hudson Road.

Oneonta, N. Y, Dec. S.-Three men were killed, several others had marrow escapes from death and property val ued at fully S4O,OO0 was destroyed in a collision between two freight trains on the Susquehanna division of the Della ware & Hudson railroad near here to- day.
 The men were all ffremen. They were: F. A. Martin of Cooperstown. Frank Pratt of Oneonta, and George Williams of Worcester.
 The collision occurred one mile west of Worcester. The fast freight train konwn as No. v, west bound, was run ming at the rate of forty miles an hour, when it crashed into an extra freight which was being shUnted off to a side track. The engine Of the fast freight was smashed. Cars were crumbled up and thrown from the tracks and the three fremen caught in the crash were crushed to death. The engineers saw the danger in time to jump and neither was injured.
 Other trainmen also saved themselves by jumping just before the crash.

ON CHRISTMAS GIVING.

Where any uncertainty exists let us give as a token of love, or friendship or human kindness, something that while expressing these things, will at least be harmless. Let it be something that does not last-that brings the meaning and vanishes-something that never will know the indignity of the top shelf or the spare room closet.
 A knock at a friends door on Christmas morning and the clasp of a hand do this. A growing plant does it. Yes, the loaf of bread, the jug of wine-but, most of all, thou beside me, singing in the wilderness-the personal revelation does it. Suppose a letter came on Christmas morning to say not you are perfectly dear to have sent me spool box" but "I want you to know that your patience, or coura ge, or tenderness, during this last year, will help me to live more bravely and ccurageously and lovingly this next year.
 What a Christmas present the receipt of such a letter would be to anyone of us; how we would take heart to live ourselves! What a Christmas present for any one of us to send to the human heart that has given us courage for the burden and heat of the day.-Harper's Bazar.

THE HOPING OF THE BEAR.

On the tenth of September, while the roundup was on the head of Jatnes Creek, w. F. Templeton started up a large cinnamon bear, but drew off, stnoked his beard and said: Let him go, boys Pug Wilson soon spied the bear and at once took down his rope and began to make a loop, intending to E;ave bear stake for supper. When
 Rusty got to the top of the ridge Tug let the string fly and got him by the neck and one front leg, which tempor- arily disarranged the bears retreat. Seeing that he was caught bruin began to walk up on the rope. Tug sent in a wireless summons for assistance, but the boys failed to understand the mes- sage. The bear got near (and larger) and nearer Cmuch larger), and finally landed on the pony, infiicting an ugly wound in the thigh and also tearing the bosom out of Tugs overaIls. He then sent in for a bottle of Green River liniment and a new pair of overalls. and will now confine himself to roping cattle horses durng the rest of this ound-up.-Meeker (CoIo) Review.

WOMAN A HUMAN BEING.

In Shakespeare's time a woman's eX-
 istence, in the eye of the law, was merged in that of her husband. A man could say of his wife: She is my goods, my chattels; she is my house. hold stuff. my field, my barn, my horse, my OK, my anything" The very pres ents which he gave her were still his property. He could beat her. He could deprive her of the guardianship of her children. IL was not until the end of the seventeenth century that the law secured to her the right to the sepa- the middle of the nineteenth century that the legislation of Great Britain and America began to recognize and protect her as a person, entitled to work and receive wages, to dispose of her own earnings, to have an equal share with her husband in the guar dianship if their children. Surely it is an immense gain in justice that a we man should be treated as a human be- ing
 This gain is most evident, of course, in these nations which are leading the march of civilization. But I think we can see traces of it elhewesersfus? TIE can see traces of :t elsewhere. The abolition of child marriage and the practical extinction of the suttee in India, the decline of the cruelty signifi- cant fashion of "foCt-binding'' in Chi na- the beginning of the education of girls in Egyrt, are hints that even the heather world is learning to believe that woman may have claim to jus uce.-Everybody Magazine.

HIS BAD BREAK.
The Old Man Was Sensitive When
 Called "Bird."

Talking about fright and gray hairs,' said a travelling man, "my hair never came so near turning white in single night as it did a couple of weeks go when I was in a town in one of the widest patches of country in the west l entered a cafe and started in to in- gratiate myself with the boys, and was getting along fine.
 There w'as one old fellow who hung around the lar a great deal and seemed to have everybody scared. I made up my mind that he was chap wanted to have on my side, so I start ed in and made up to him line best knew how. I told him all the funny stories l knew. Everytime he laughed everybody else laughed, and when he didn't seem to like it there was a geen- eral attack of the blues. l laughed as hard as I could and slapped him on the shoulder and said:

 "'Yes, said I, and you're all right. You're a bird'
 "I never saw such a swift change Of scenery in my life. The floor was cleared all of a sudden and all the oc- ciipants of the place except the old man and myself were looking up from behind tables He had a six-shooter pointed at me- and if his finger had trembled I'd have been the subject for a dearest Willie, thcu has left us,' piece of poetry then and there. Just then a young gir l ruhed into the place and threw herself between us."
 "Of course commented a listener, this is about chapter III. She ex- claimed: Spare him! Spare him for my sake!'"
 No. She didn't say anything of the kind. She merely said: Don't be fool. dad. He didn't mean anything. He ain't heard word about 1t

and in many cases there were losses of several dollars a share. Millions Of
 dollars were lost by some spectators,
 spectators. Incidentally, some of the
 brokers-and many more spectators
 who were wealthy forty-eight hours
 ago are now bankrupt.
 The country will not be disturbed by
 the furry. The time was, few years
 ago, when a panic in stocks would
 have alarmed business interests
 throughout the country between the
 two oceans, but that is not the case any longer. The public reads of the antics in Wall street with mild inter- est, but with unconcern.
 The explanation offered for this pam ic is that it was started by Thomas Lawson, the Boston broker. who dur
 ing the past six months has succeed ed in advertising himself better than any broker ever did before. In one of the magazines Lawson is running a serial story of his relations with the Standard Oil crowd" his ostensible purpose being to expose the manner in which he and they formed the Anal gated Copper company, or copper trust, bought copper mines for 36 millions and unloaded the securities on the public for 75 millions. According to Lawson, his "expose'' has greatly an- gered the great fnanciers. and they are now camping on his trail with an eff fort to ruin him. But-according to Lawson-he is much smarter than any of them, and every time an effort is made to squeeze him in the stock mar ket he emerges from the fray several hundred thousand dollars, or several million dollars-it doesn't matter which better off. Yesterday and Wednes- day, it is alleged, he caused stocks to drop by advertising that they would drop and warning speculators to get rid of their copper stocks.
 How much truth there is in these explanations" every man can guess for himself. The plausible theory is there had been a "bull" market ever since the election; seeing that the country" had been loaded up with stocks on margin at the top-notch prices, concluded that it was a good time to go forth with the shears and shear the lambs. The time had come fer making holiday expenses. Lawson l may or may not have had a hand in | the deal. His rare modesty will not | prevent him from claiming all the cred l 1t of the coup, in any event.
 Meanwhile, another lesson has been l ehalked up, where the lamb may read | IS he runs. And this lesson, in brief, | $ to the effect that he is an ass who | thinks he can beat the Wall street | game. But it is a Wall street maxim | hat there is a sucker born every min lte, and in pursuance of this theory | l nice trap is set at frequent intervals l for the new suckers.
