the delegates to the International Par

The state department will address

on the spirit Of caution that is always
exhi bited by diplomats, many Of these
governments will seek to procure iron

conference. Many limitations are ex-

it is realized that much difficulty will

EGGS NAY BE CHEAP.
PACKING House Trust Decides to Quit
the Edd Business.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Eggs will likely
be cheaper this winter than for some
years. Since Armour, Swift, and 9TH
or Western packing houses have been
storing eggs during the summer for
winter sale, egg dealers had to go to
them for eggs. The packers have been
shipping eggs as meat, thus getting
lower freight rates by half. and the
railroads have been winking at the dis
elimination. Independent egg dealers
laid complaint before the interstate
commerce commission and the rail
roads have since refused to carry eggs
out of their class, and every attempt of
the packing houses to corner the egg
market and raise the price of eggs be-
yond certain point has proved fail
ure. This fact has caused the packers
to decide to quit the egg business and
slump in the price is expected.

with burglarlzing the store of W. T..
Alice last July, after an hour and a
half deli beration, came into court with
verdict of not guilty. The verdict
was received with q great burst OF ap-

verely reprimand them for demonstrate

said that should it occur again he
would impose heavy fines on those who
did it. After the acquittal OF Mrs.

A Song to Brave Women.
They were married in the autumn when
the leaves were turning gold,
And the mornings bore a menace Of the
winters coming cold;
Side by side they stood and promised
hand In hand to walk through life
And the parson said, God bless you!
- he named them man and wife.
They had little wealth to aid them; little
Of the world they knew;
But he whispered, "Oh, my darling.
have riches-I have-you."
Then they vowed that, walking ever side
by side and hand in hand,
They would gain the distant submits OF
their far-on, happy land.
Side by side they walked together, lin
gerinX sometimes for q kiss,
Dreaming of those far-oR SUBMITS, OF
the futures perfect bliss;
But the battle-stress was on them, and
the foeman babe them yield,
And their onward steps were hidden BY
the smoke upon the field;
And his heart grew faint within him. n
he murmured, II must fall,
For the foeman presses ever, and Ms
cohorts conquer all"
But the woman, loyal ever, only whis-
pered, You shall win!
You shall snatch the victor's laurel from
the battle-strife and din"
Then again he struggled onward, though
his wounds were gaping wide,
Listening ever for a whisper-"l am bat
Ting by your side"
Struggling onward, struggling ever,
though the mists were dark about
Beaten downward by the foemen, lost in
mists Of gloom and doubt.
Still he heard that gentle whisper that
his spirit must obey,
Till he reached the golden submits past
the borderland of gray.
Then the world. as wise as ever, said
Behold a consuering knight"
For it never heard the whisper that had
urged him to the height.
Call 1t fable. fable only; 10, the world ID
full Of these,
Men who struggle onward, upward, till
the splendid prize they seize;
Men who stumble, stumble often, dassd
and stricken In the din,
But to rise and falter forward at the
whisper, you shall win!'
And We name them knights and heroes OF
the battle and the fray,
Knowing not that there behind each ID
the one who showed the way;
Just some little loyal woman, forcing
back the tears that blur
You may honor your brave hero: l will
sing q song to her.

ALASKA WAGON ROADS.
Question Again 10 Be Uroed IN

washington, Oct. 1.-THE question
OF building wagon roads in Alaska will

ant movement that federal aid in some
shape will be obtained. Some strong
influences were at work last winter in
FAVOR OF road building in the territory.
and the project was deferred rather
than defeated. It is not too much to
say that the project can be brought m
during the coming winter without
prejudice. for no decided antagonism
was provoked during the discussions of
the plan at the last session. On the
contrary it was proided that certain
important surveys should be made un.
der the auspices Of the war depart.
ment.
These surveys have recently been
completed and the report of the enqin.
eer officer who made it will be ready
1or transmission TO congress soon after
the opening Of the session in December
The contents of the report are not
known. but it was foregone conclu-
sion that no engineering obstacle would
be encountered, and the question of
cost is the great factor in the problem
There were several specific measures
before congress, but the most import
ant was Senator Nelson's bill creating
a special fund in the treasury for this
purpose. This fund was to be the pro-
ceeds OF tax receipts in Alaska, the
measure providing that percentage
of the liquor and trade license moneys
outside of the incorporated cities be
covered into the special treasury fund
and used for building highways. On
the basis of last years receipts the ter.
ritory would have about $40, 900 a
year for road building. It is probable
that this same measure will be urged
at the coming session.

MORE LAND FRAUD
oo,r,ONAL INDICTMENTS ARE ex.
pECTED.
Grand Jury in Portland Expected to
Bring in Another Batch Soon
After EleCfiOn-SOme of Them
Will Be Against Prominent Or
egon Men.

prtland, Oct IA special to the
oreuonian from Washington says:
II is whispered around the interior
aonartment that soon after election
federal grand juries in Portland and
Washington will bring in a new lot of
land fraud indictments, invIving men
far more prominent than any who have
vet figured in these cases. Secretary
HITCHCOCK has been comforting with
Assistant Attorney Pugh, who was in
strumental in working up the McKin-
av.Ware- Puter cases and the cases
against the Benson-Hyde ring, and has
heeu assured by him that the govern
ment has an abundance of evidence on
which to ask for the indictment of
men who have been Swallowed for many
months, and whose records have been
s,snned more closely. Special Agent
Greene, while here, also assured Score.
tary Hitchcock that there is ample ev-
idence to secure the indictment of these
same men. In fact, it was the open
boast of Greene that several we'll
known men in Oregon would soon be
under Indictment, and it was his opin-
ion they would be convicted when
brought to trial.
The men suspected are said to have
played very prominent part not only
in furthering the operations of the Nc
Kinley- Ware-Puter crowd, and others
in Oregon, but also to have played into
the hands of the big San FRANCISCO
ring as we'll.
Names of the persons whose indict-
ments are expected are most carefully
concealed. 1t is not known how many
reside in Oregon and how many are in
Washington. Olny the slightest knowl-
edge has been obtained of the proceed.
ings that have been going on, for sec.
rotary Hitchcock is determined nothing
shall leak out and spoil his campaign
Six months ago similar rumors were
current about the interior department,
and it was declared there would be
further indictments following the in.
dictment of Benson end Hyde, but
nothing developed. 1t is understood
the persons then suspected are the ones
now under surveillance. The only ex.
cuse for delay is that the grand juries
adjourned before the go sernment's
case was prepared, or the ddelay was
arranged for political considerations.
