LOVES lasoe LOST.


on good terms with our neighbor
across the way, and reluctantly we
shall have to give up the job.
'''Tis true; tits true tits pity, and
pity tits tits true"
We even went far out of our way
to say some pretty things about him.
We said that ordinarily he is broad
guage man. This is an extremely
high compliment. Few higher COM
pliments can be paid to any man.
More than this We said that he is
generally tolerant. A man who is
tolerant towers high above his fell
lows. 1t is a trait of character pos
sessed only by few. The want of
it has been the curse of governments; !;
the curse of religions; the curse of
the world.
But the little bouquet of compli-
ments that we showered unstintedly
upon our neighbor did not even end
here. 1t was not yet complete. We
still added to it other pretty and fra
grant flowers. We said that he is
progressive.
Now, the man who is progressive
is the man who moves the world.
Progress is the Archimedian lever,
the Herculesean fulcrum that has
lifted the world from the mud hut to
the marble palace.
The debt of gratitude the world
owes to the man of progress can
never be overestlmated, if the civil
lied is better than the savage man.
But, notwithstanding these high
flown and well meaning compliments,
our neighbor refuses to be Modified,
and in return draws a very distorted
picture of the editor of this paper.
But some one greater than the edi-
tor of the Ocala Banner in ages long
since past said something about the
folly of casting pearls before cert lin
animals who could not appreciate their
value.
Our neighbor says that we suffer
from mental strabismus. Surely, we
hope, not in reference to the nice
things we said about the Star editor.
He says that we see in curves and
even in zig-zags; that we interpolate,
garble and mutilate in quoting from
the Star. and argue from the mutila-
ted paragraphs. The photograph ia
ken of Us by the Star editor does not
stop even here. He says that we are
effected with literary jim-jams that
makes us see invisible things. Brob-
dignagian, he says, is our intellect,
and we think it has climbed to such
lofty heights as to emsncipate it from
the restraints laid upon the minds of
common mortals.
Opper never drew a worse picture
than Editor Bittinger draws of us.
He would have his. readers believe
that for these little unpleasantries
that are Endled between the two pa
pers and sometimes are blown into
hot Goals, that the editor of the Ban
ner is always at fault.
Let us, with some degree of calm
ness, make little investigation and
see if it is not the old, old story of
the mote and the beam. Some time
ago this paper printed an article un-

Last night between the hours of 10
and IL o'clock, Mrs. G. II. Blair. who
resides on North Fourteenth street,
opened her front door just before re-
firing and stumbled against a basket
on her doorstep. Not knowing what
1t contained, she called to her husband
and asked II he was expecting any
thing to be left there. He replied in
the negative. She brought the basket
in and was dumbfounded upon lifting
a blanket cover to find to find 1t con-
tanned 4 girl baby four or five days
old.
Examination of the entire contents
of the basket was made, but no note
or mark was found that would reveal
the identity of the parents or cause
for deserting their babe. From the
outside appearance of the basket, one
would Judge the basket had been left
by parents in poor circumstances as
the babe was covered with a very poor
piece of blanket and had on a pink
hood made of cheap material. Two
very plain bottles containing milk,
were also found in the basket.
Mrs. Blair is of the opinion, how
ever, that the child's mother is we'll
to-do, and only sought this method
of covering her shame. The clothing

Al the August meeting of the en-
gineering section OF the British asso-
citation at Capetown, a paper was read
by A. M. Tippett, chief resident engi-
neer OF the Cape Government railways
which contains much additional in
formation with regard to the working
OF the lines. Through the courtesy of
Mr.. Tippett we are enabled to print the
following abstract of this paper, says
the Railroad Gazette.
II will be recollected that the rail-
road development of Cape Colony was
undertaken primarily by three main
systems. which are now connected
but were formerly entirely separate.
The chief of these is known as the
western system, starting from Cape
Town and running approximately
northeast through Cape Colony and
Bechuanaland TO Vryburg TIA miles.
on to Victoria Falls, $40 miles fur
ther.
This latter section is not a part of
the Cape system. however. but is the
property of the Rhodesla railways.
orses the low-lylng, rich and pictur-
esque lands of the Cape Town district,
with the largest agricultural output
of the colony and with towns more
numerous than elsewhere. At n dis
lance of l29 miles from Cape Town
the railway ascends to the highlands
with severe grades and through a re-

above the sea level. Farther on in
Bechuanaland the character of the
country again alters, becoming more
wooded and better watered.
The system second in Importance is
the Midland. which starts from Port
Elizabeth and connects with the Or
ange River colony system. The East
ern system, the third in Importance,
starts from East London, higher up
the east coast than Port Elizabeth,
and has a more northerly direction
than the Others gradually converging
to them until 1t joins the Midland ex-
tension in the Orange River Colony.

are also two lines of feet, or narrow
gauge; one running from Port Eliza
beth to Avantuur. which is to all in
tents a main line; the other, from Ka-
iabas to Kraal and Hopefield, which is

With land cheap and skilled labor
dear, there are only 10 tunnels in the
Cape Government system. All OF these
are for single track and the longest
OF them is 936 feet long. There are
u number of large bridges, but with
the exception of a few special $50 feet

Baker City Mining journal Defends
Oregon Mining interests.

pNSOh NIHtiuS thttFNSts.
The Inland Empire Miner of Baker
city, thus defends the reputation of
Oregon mines and mining men:
The Miner is in receipt of a letter
from a kicking correspondent. who
resides in the east, telling why eastern
Oregon is in disrepute with mining in
vestors.
The only reply to this critic is that
eastern Oregon mines are not in dis
repute with any one who is posted on
the situation. More money is going
into our prospects at this time than
ever before; for the simple and con-
elusive reason that more gold is COM
ing from our mines.
No enterprise was, perhaps, ever
launched in which somebody didn't
lose money; certainly there was never
mining camp in which some propo-
sition did not prove to be failure. In
California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada
the great mining states of the west
there has been literally thousands
of companies organized that have
failed to make good.
Here in Oregon there have been a
few, but If there were any way to Sc
cure accurate data, it would be found
that the percentage of failures here
does not compare unfavorably with
that in other states. Our great handi-
cap has been, and is, that most of the
older companies, those organized long
enough to bring the properties to the
producing and dividend stage, are
close corporations that never publish
the fact that dividend has been paid.

advertising any region can receive and

State Bank Examiner C.. s. Love-

weeks trip through Latah. Nez Perce,

he examined 2S banks, tells of the ex-
cellent crops the northern part of the
state has enjoyed during the present
year and says that the farmers have
sold nearly all of their grain. although
considerable of II Is still in the ware
houses owing to the lack of transport
tation facilities on the railroads. says
the Boise Statesman.
Mr.. Loveland expresses his belief
that the railroad building in the
northern country is going to result in
an extensive immigration movement
in that section. He thinks the move
ment to induce Americans to visit the
beautiful scenery of their own coun-
try during their leisure time instead Of
going to foreign countries Is an excel
lent one and says that the northern
part of Idaho will be one of the most
favored sections. He thinks the seen
cry around lakes Pend rOreille and
Coeur d'Alene can scarcely be equal
ed anywhere. The railroad building,
said Mr.. Loveland. is destined to make
Lewiston one OF the best business cen
ters In the country. That city is max
ing rapid progress.
During the time he was away. State
Bank Examiner Loveland authorized
three new banks to do business. one
was the First Bank of Troy, Latah
county, with a capital stock of S20,-
900; another was the Hepburn State
bank, 5000 capitalization: the third
was the Fear Lake State bank, OF
Paris, capital stock $4,000.
Mr.. Loveland said he had authoriz-
ed IS new banks to do business since
March of the present year, the total
capitalization being $330,0o0. New
banks are now being Incorporated at
Bouners Ferry and Post Falls. These
figures. he says. speak volumes for
the prosperity of the state.

Remains OF Men Burned In Motion
Metal Buried in Steel Ingot.
with the solemn funeral rites OF the
Roman Catholic church, a Acton mass
of dull, rugged steel was buried at the
Milvale Steel works today, says Phil
adelphia dispatch.
II was one Of the strangest funerals
over which clergyman has ever pre-
sided. II was In reality a double fun
eral, for, gathered about the large ex-
cavation midway between two machine
shops in which the huge steel bulk
had been placed. were two groups of
sorrowlng relatives. mourning for the
two men who had been buried in n
pit beneath a deluge of white hot
steel and their bodies entirely consum-
ed In the molten mass. Not a shred
was found after the steel had become
cold and hard to signify the previous
presence OF human life.
The two men for whom the services
were held were John Forkln and Jo-
seph Gazed, who, together. were Gre
mated in the pit 10 days ago. The
men were making the receptacle ready
for the molten steel when the clay
plug which held back the liquid mass
burst and the two were buried beneath
the molten torrent OF $4,000 pounds
For several days the workmen re-
fused to touch the steel, feeling that
in each ounce of the rough, hard
metal was some element of the dead
workmen.
When the officials of the Midvale
company saw the feeling among the
men, they decided 1t would be futile
TO attempt to urge them to work" the
steel. Accordingly a large excavation,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-11-24

10 feet deep and 20 feet wide. was dug
and its sides slned with cement.
on last Friday the misshapen bulk
was placed on two steel cars and con-
veyed 400 feet. A 76-ton crane took
the mass In its clutches and slowly
lowered 1t into the grave.
On the stroke OF 1880 every ham,
mer in the works was stopped and the
big yard was for once quiet. The
funeral services were then read.
The 40-ton lump of steel In which
the two men were buried, has value
of about $1,000.
