Since the tragic death of Conductor
Charles F. Brown at Kamela. ON the
morning of November s. the 18th
train order of each day has been for
ever abolished on the Mountain di-
vision of the o. r. & N.
The last train order signed by Con-
ductor Brown on that fatal trip was
order No. 13, which he received at
bingham Springs and which, in his
usual jovial manner. he at first re-
fused to sign for, telling the despatch
er to change the number.
After a few words of Joking over
the wires with the dispatcher Con-
ductor Brown took the order and in
delivering copy of it to Engineer
Pete Theisen said in fun: That's a
bad one, Pete, look at the number and
then look out"
1t was the last order Mr. Brown
received, 1t being a meet on train No.

further orders until she reached La
Grande, Conductor Brown did not re-
ceive orders at Kamela, and the only
order in his pocket at the time of hi;
sudden and tragic death was order
No. IS, received at Bingham Springs.
When the news of his death reach
ed the dispatchers. it was at once re-
membeied that he had joked about
the number of the order, and then
and there it was decided to never
again issue Order No. 13 to a train

Not all honey is alike toothsome, any

some of the most fascinating writer's.
that they have not yet gotten theiI
minds to the move-on point.
'The best honey is taken when the
asters and goldenrod are in blossom,
says Mrs. E. s. Starr, an authority OF
the subject. Compared with honey
made when these two flowers are bloom.
ing sweet clover honey is very poor
None is lost, however, since the honey
made from the less desirable flowers il

winter necessities. These patient toll.
ers may know the difference, but they
make no expression. Like good chill
dren, they eat what IL set before them
and neither grumble nor ask for more.
Next to the aster and goldenrod honey
is that made In the spring. In many
instances the charming spring doweri
make as desirable honey as that which
is slipped late in the summer. Not that
bees are invariably engaged in making
honey! Indeed, that touching, II old
fashioned rhyme: How doth the little
busy bee improve each shining hour

WATER AUTOMOBILING.
High Speed Launches Are Growin4
Very Popular ON the At
lantic Coast.

Following close on the cyclonic heels
OF the automobile comes the magic
marvel Of river. lake and seattle wa
ter automobile. The machine is so
simple that boy with false teeth and
red hair can run it, says the New York
Herald. Rapid transit by water has
been revolutionized within few years.
With one of these water runabouts a
man on the coast becomes Independent
OF big steamers, boiling horses and be-
lated trains. He no longer has to live
near the station in some dusty town.
He can step aboard his water auto
mobile almost anywhere. and reach his
classic proved typewriter long ahead
of boat or train.
On tho water automobile you are
your own master. 1t is your ideal
republic. You are free from black
mailing town ordinances and agricul-
tural holdups. You can travel where
you please.
The interest now taken in the devel-
opment OF motor launches and automo-
bile boats in this country makes every
new type of vessel the object of spe-
cial inquiry.
Steam requires engineers and too
technical knowledge of machinery, but
with the development of the automo-
bile great many men competent to
run explosive motors are now to be
found. and the gasoline engine is the
favorite.
1t is said that the launch business
OF the country runs into several mil
lions Of dollars annually. There are
all kinds Of motors, mostly using gas
oline. The motor generally is not
reversible, and clutch or featherine
screw is used, or the flywheel in
smaller sizes is taken in the hand and
started the other way.
The development of the racing au.
tomobile, with its attendant refining
OF weight In the construction OF the
motor, has provided constantly i'm.
proving motor for the driving of fast
launches. Instead of designing an en-.
CINE to fit boats of peculiar construc.
ton and model, which IL expensive
and means endless work for designer
and builder, the modern automobile
builder chooses type that Is salts
factory to customers and puts in thu
required engine giving certain speed
Automobile boats are made as they
should be, instead Of built to order

ALASKA'S TIN DISCOVERY.
Resources Of the United
States.

IL Alaska going to add to the number
and the variety Of the resources which
she contributes to the country's wealth
It looks that way. According to report. a
reef Of tin ore has just been discovered
at Nome which promises to be as rich
as any hitherto found anywhere in the
world. This is metal in which the
United States thus far has been rather
deficient. It is found in this country in
many places-South Dakota, West Vir-
ginia, California and other regions-but
it is not produced in any really impor-
tant quantities in the United States.
Naturally, good deal Of interest has
been aroused by this report of the find in
Alaska, observes the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The greater part of the worlds
product of tin comes from the straits
settlements and islands In southern Asia.
It is found also In England, Spain, Ger
many. Bohemia. Chilli. Peru, Mexico and
other countries. America, which now
leads in the production of Goa, gold, iron
and many other minerals and metals, has
a chance to take prominent part like
wise In furnishing tin. AS this is decid-
eddy important commodity, the discov-
cry Of tin ore here in quantities like
those limited at in the story from our
northerly regions would have an effect
which would tell quickly in our indus
tries and In cheapening large variety
Of useful articles.
Alaska has contributed many millions
Of dollars in furs, fish. gold and other
products. 1t will furnish vast sums in
lumber. and will be granary Of the fu-
ture, for 1t has been ascertained that
wheat can be grown there over large
tracts in great quantities. Alaska has
many navigable streams, and the whole
of the panhandle Of that region is close
to tidewater. The facilities, therefore,
for cheap transportation from a large
part Of Alaska are good. The population
of Alaska In 1900 was So 900, and 1t almost
doubled In the decade. The discovering
Of the gold fields of Nome and the
working Of the coal deposits In other
parts Of the locality have added greatly
to the population of the province in the
past three years. Railroads are being
projected through large part of the
country. and an era Of development is
setting In which promises to make 1t one
Of the most important Of United States
possessions That $7,200,c00 which we
paid for Alaska third Of q century ago
was one Of the country's most profitable
territorial investment
