That railroad companies are de-
cidedly opposed to gambling and ha-
bitual drinking has been brought to
the mind of several o. r, & n. en-
ployes at La Grande within the past
two weeks
Because they spent their time while
in the city in the private gambling
joints, hidden away from the reach
of the police and could not be found
by call boys when needed to go out
on their runs. two prominent engin-
GERS were summarily discharged, al
though one of them was an old man
in the service and about in line for a
passenger run.
For the past 10 years the company
has been wedding out gambling and
drinking from the service and now il
is almost totally unknown among the
more reputable class of employees. II
men drink or frequent saloons or en-
gage in gambling habitually they will
soon be dropped from the service, thus
proving the justice of the claim that
the gambling and drinking habits are
recognized as the most dangerous of
practices known to the big corpora
tions.
There is strict rule in the book
of rules under which all employees of
the o. r. & n. work, forbidding the
use of intoxicating drink, and not
long ago an entire crew on the Hepp-
ner branch, including the engineer,
fireman, conductor and brakemen,
was discharged for drinking and none
of them have been reinstated.
More demerits are given for drink
ing than for any other one fault of
railroad men according to the record
of the discipline system on the Har-
riman lines, thus proving that the
company is not willing to permit even
mild drinking to interfere with the
duties of employees.
It is asserted by a prominent rail-
road man that a general movement is
on foot to discriminate against wide
open towns, in the location of shops.

ters where large bodies of railroad

INClTED MUTINY.
An English Admiral Once Did This

by Royal Command.
Not only did an English admiral once
receive instructions to incite his men
to mutiny, but he actually carried his
instructions out.
On the eve of the death Of James L.,
and as a result of Prince Charles mar
rlage to Henrietta Maria, Buckingham
agreed to lend the Vanguard and sew
en- merchantmen to the French. Be
fore his promise was fulfilled the Hu-
guenot rebellion at Rochelle broke out,
and by the time Sir John Pennington,
who had been put in command, was
ready to sail the authorities In England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants.
Buckingham was conscious of the
storm of Indignation this would arouse
In England. In his perplexity the only
solution that occurred to him was to
instruct Pennington to get his men TO
mutiny. A secret message to this ef-
feet was sent him through the Earl Of
Pembroke, and Sir John, who had no
wish to hand the ships over to the
French, obeyed and allowed his crew
to carry him and his officers back to
England

BEAR RIVER RESERVE.
Sixty thousand Acres Set Aside I'm
Southern Idaho.

The news was received in Boise
this morning that another forest re-
serve was about to be established i'm
Idaho for Senator Hepburn to find
fault with. says the Boise Capital
News.
The new reservation will be called
the Bear river forest reserve, and is
intended for the protection of the
waters of Bear river. Its location is
bounded by Bear Lake county on one
side, and the counties of Bannocll
and Oneida, Idaho and Cache county,
Utah, on the other 1t will contain
approximately $4,000 acres.
The timber growing i'm this region
is principally oak, tamerack and fir,
and is not of a commercial value for
numbering purposes compared with
the lands of the northern reserves.
There is much valuable tie timber,
however. and great inroads We're being
made for this purpose, as well as the
cutting of timber for fuel.
Farmers in that region had begun
to appreciate the fact that the heavy
snowfalls of the winters were not re-
ceiving the protection of former
times, and in few years there would
be great shortage of water for irri-
CATION purposes, unless the forests
We're preserved.
Forester Pinchot has notified SEN
ator Dubois that the maps and reports
were completed, and that the procla-
nation would shortly issue establish
ing the reserve credit for which is
due to the efforts of the farmers OF
that vicinity, though the assistance of

NEW NAMES IN NAVY.
Bonaparte Makes Radical Changes i'm
His Department.


That Charles ]. Bonaparte. secre
tary of the navy, is taking a lively in
terest in the affairs of his depart
ment is indicated in a letter received
by President Roosevelt from him,
says a Washington dispatch. It ap-
peals so strongly to the presidents in
terest that, having approved of the
recommendations of Secretary Bona
parte contained in the letter. he au-
thorized its publication. It follows
Sir have the honor to inclosa
a letter from the officers of the naval
intelligence bureau suggesting a
change in the names assigned to the
two squadrons of colliers about to be
built and heretofore designated as the
Erie and Ontario.
THE officers of the intelligence bu-
reau propose for these ships the
names Diamond and Pearl The in
dorsement of the bureau of navigation
concurs in the opinion of the chief in
telligence officer that the names of
these colliers should be changed, but
does not approve of the names sug-
gested and recommends 'Nestor' and
'Orestes' as suitable new names.
THE bureau likewise indicates its
belief that the president only has the
power to change the names of vessels.
I concur in the opinion of the chief
intelligence officer and also of the bu-
reau of navigation that the names of
these two colliers should be changed,
for the reason given in the letter to
the chief intelligence officer
"I concur with the bureau in its
disapproval Of the names suggested
by the chief intelligence officer. for
the reasons stated in the bureaus in
dorsement. I do not approve of the
names suggested by the bureau itself
The name 'Nestor' suggests great age
and the name 'Orestes' insanity. both
OF which appear to me undesirable
for vessels Of our navy. I submit as

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
The Sea Cucumber Can Part With
and Replace It's Organs.

and Replace It's Organs.
Among the curious animals which In
habit the sea we may take the holo-
thuria, or sea cucumber, so called from
Its resemblance to the cucumber. When
this animal Is attacked by an enemy 1t
does not stand up and fight, but by a
sudden movement it elects Its teeth,
stomach, digestive apparatus and near
ly all its intestines and then shrivels
It's body up to almost nothing. When,
however, the danger is past, the ami
NAL commences to replace the organs
which it has voluntarily parted with,
and in a short time the animal is as
perfect as ever it was.
DIR. Johnstone kept one in water for
a long time, and one day he forgot to
change the water. The creature In
consequence elected its lntestlnes and
shriveled up, but when the water was
changed all its organs were repro
duced. Although the animal Is not
eaten in Europe, 1t Is a favorite with
the Chinese, and the fishing forms an
important part Of the industry Of the
east. Thousands Of junks are annually
used in fishing for trepang, as the ami
mails are called.-LOndon Tit-Bits

Some Advice to Follow II They Mast
Use the Weed.

Use the Weed.
Very few people are aware how much
harm is done to young men by the al.
most universal habit of cigarette smok.
ing The man who smokes cigarettes
has one always in his mouth and Is con.
tinually inhallng nicotine until the sys
TEN is saturated with the poison.
The result of this practice is n ca.
tarrhal condition Of the nose, throat
and bronchi, a disordered and very ir.
ritable state of the nerves, a weak and
rapid action of the heart and indiges-
ton.
Thin, anaemic, weak, with clammy
hands stained with nicotine poison, un-
strung nerves and degenerated mus
cles, the youth of the land go on gno-
rantly suffering the consequences of a
pernicious habit until attacks of heart
trouble, nervous prostration, melan-
cholia, etc. bring their condition to tile
attention of the physician.
If man must smoke-and we admit
the charm Of the habit to those who
have become accustomed to its sooth-
ing influences-let him choose a mild
cigar and have certain set times for in
dulging. If he puts a certain restraint
upon himself from the start in the mat
ter Of smoking, he will not overdo It,
and there are few men who can smoke
more than three cigars day without
