Heaviest Freight TraffIc I6nown.

La Grande Freight traffic was
never known to be so heavy in Eastern
Oregon as at the present time, and it
is mostly due to the increase in the
shipment of wheat to the East and the
resumption Of the large lumber mills
also adds to the volume. There are
many etxra trains run ont on the La
Grande division daily, and there is
but few hours rest for the trainmen
at the terminaI stations when they are
ralled out for another trip.

A DELIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE.
@@@@@@&@&%@@@&
~~~~~~~~~~-

After the terrible steamship and
railway accidents which made the
past season memorable, it is pleasant
to read of an affair so delightful for
its victims as the recent sinking of the
Mississippi River steamer Chalmette
proved to be. The Chalmette was the
last Of the old-time cotton packets on
the Mississippi. There are many big
stern wheel cotton carriers, and sever
al sidewheel passenger boats. but the
Chalmette was relic of the old st.
LouiS-New Orleans trade. She was the
City of Vicksburg of the Anchor line,
but was rebuilt some years ago to
carry cotton to the port Of Chalmette,
below New Orleans. She could stow
five thousand five hundred bales on
her spacious deck, and with her guards
awash and the cotton stacked high
above her cabin deck, was a spectacle
once common, henceforth to be I'M
known, on the river. When the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition opened she
was put on as through boat from
New Orleans to the fair, and thus
opened a trade which had been dead
for some years.
On Saturday in July she started
North with about forty passengers
and a lot of freight. Late Tuesday
afternoon she was within thirty-fve
miles of Natchez when, in backing out
from a landing, she struck a snag and
knocked a hole in the stern. She
swung round with both ends resting
on the bank in little eddy, but with
seventy feet of water under her amid
ships, and began to fill.
The passengers were quickly noti-
fed. the gang-plank was run ashore,
i and everybody walked out and found
a seat, on the gently sloping, grassy
levee, to watch the spectacular death
of the last of the packets. The crew
hastily brought the passengers bag
gage ashore, then brought the fur
naces from the galley and all the pro-
visions from the pantry, and the ia
blss from the saloon.

DR.. Oliver Ferguson, in a recent lee.
ture at Oxford University, predicted
extraordinary longevity for the hui
man race. He said the average human
life had been heightened ten years In
the last sixty years, and that the
grandchildren of people now living
would live 100 years or more. Strange
to say, DR.. Ferguson. IL reported cor
rectly, based his prophecy entirely on
the improved methods of destroying
rathogenic bacteria. Why he should
have done so Is not clear, as there are
many other equally potent influences
at work in modern society to lengthen
human life. One of these is vaccina-
ton, another the tracing Of yellow fe-
yer to insects and another Is the pro-
gress in surgery and particularly in
asepttc surgery. More powerful in
fiuences still are the advancing desue-
tude Of war, which is evidently short
er In duration, less deadly and more
circumscribed graphically than for
merly; the multiplication Of hospitals
and, above all, the Christian idea, now
almost universal, Of the sacredness of
human life All of these influences
tell, in a special manner, on the pres
ervation Of infant life. This remark
able saving and lengthening Of hui
man life Is destined to have, within a
century Or two, an important bearing
on population Formerly and up to a
century ago, in every country on the
globe, increased population was in
great demand and large families were
admired and commended, but at the
present day the tendency Is the other
way. 1t looks as If the race had an
instinct that the day Of over-population
was approaching. 1t has been esti-
mated that but for the loss Of human
life in battle and by plague the world
would long since have been overpopu-
lated. II this Is true what are the
prospects Of the human family now,
with war abolished, with many forms
of epidemic disease bafied, with the
miracles Of surgery, with improved
rules of health and diet, with modern
drainage and house-building, with the
immense strides in sanitation. with
hospitals and free dispensaries in
every neighborhood, and with relig-
ious conviction that human life Is sa-
cred and must be preserved even If 1t
is a miserable and hopeless existence?
Concerning the answer to this inquiry
one man Is perhaps as wise as an
other.

save by the bison and the red man.
Phenomenal has been the change since
then. Along the international boun-

age Is over 100000 and the. annual
yield 100000 bushels, while popu-
lation, acreage and output are aug

approach. The Hon. Clifford Sifton,
Canadian minister Of the Interior as
serts that 1.-The wealth producing pow
er of the individual Is fully four times
greater ON the prairie farms of the
West than in any other portion Of the
country" and he estimates that there
is abundant room there to sustain from
100000 to 2O,000,OOO of people.
To-day, so amazing has been the de-
velopment of the Northwest, the Cana
dian Pacific railway is unable to serve
its commercial needs. "Canada's hop
per-" as Sir William Van Horne, the
chairman of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way, tersely put it, has grown too big
for the spout" The production
of the territory Is too enormous for his
road, practically double-tracked though
it Is with sidings and sentineled with
elevators. Every fall there is an abso-
lutte congestion, with grain coming out
and lumber, coal and other commodi-
ties going in. Consequently, much OF
the traffic has to be handled by Amer
lean transportation agencies. The
United States has 1900 cargo boats on
the great lakes, while Canada has only
80; and all the principal American rail-
ways have working alliances with
those of Canada. Therefore, two 9TH
er transcontinental railway systems
are now being projected for Canada
that the wheat belt may be properly
served.
