FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY.
A War is on Between Great Railroad
 Intereata.

A War Is on Between Great Hatirond Interests.
 That the year 1905 is going to be one Of railroad wars Is shown py the tol- lowing special from New York;
 "A determined fight is under way for railroad supremacy west of Ogden, Utah. E. H. Hartman, George J. Gould and William A. Clark are the three main figures in this strife. If uresent plans are carried out the traffic avenues to the Pacific Coast will be greatly increased within the next year and a half.
 'The impelling cause of this costly rivalry Is Gould's determination to have an independent line to San Francisco, Harrjman has expended S10O. .000, ,OO0 in strengthening the position of the Union Pacific system. and. including his pur- chase of the Denver and Rio Grande, George J. Gould will have expended not less than $100.000,O00 in giving the Missouri Pacific an outlet to the Pa clfic.
 Tt has been determined to push work on the Western Pacific without further delay This Is a Gould project, and 1t will give the Denver and Rio Gyande an almost straight line from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. Nearly $4.O00,- 900 has been expended in preliminary work, and arrangements have been made for the necessary funds to com plete the construction Since the cleo ton of F.. T. Jeffrey, President of the Denver and Rio Grande, to the West ern Pacific Railway Board, there has been great activity on the part of all the persons interested in this new line.
 Choice of the route across the Sierra Nevada Mountains has been made and the road will run through the Beck with Pass. Seven surveying parties are laying out the route on a grade cent. or fifty-two feet to the mile. The and there will be a total absence Of snowsheds
 The main line of this new Gould railroad will be St0 miles, from Salt Lake to San Francisco. and there will be about 440 miles of branches in Cal ifornia. The road traverses Utah and Nevada and from the Nevada State line to the floor of the Sacramento Valley
 -15O miles--the line passes through a country of impressive scenic grandeur. It follows the canyon of the Feather River, the walls of which are more than 2.500 feet high
 Contracts have been let for nearly all the construction. and the principal contractors, accompanied by some of the directors of the company. will leave Salt Lake City this week for a trip over the surveyed route. The rugged canyon of the Feather River offers some difficult engineering problems, but it Is planned to put between 5000 aud

Montgomery Will Not Re Represented
 by Good Roads Convention.
 Mayor Thomas H. Carr yesterday received a letter from President w. H. Moore, of the National Good Roads Association, whose headquarters are in St. Louis, inviting him to attend and address the meeting of that body which Is to take place January 1921. inclusive at Jacksonville, Fla, and to appoint at least three delegates to represent Montgomery at the meeting.
 A request to confer with the Com mercial and Industrial Association and the County Board of Revenue was also contained in the letter and these requests were complied with yester- day.
 l.. L. Gilbert. secretary of the Com mercial and Industrial Association said that it was doubtful if any one would go to the meeting in Jackson vile to represent that association.
 "We are so well fixed as to good roads in Montgomery and It's vicinity that we are not as much inteVested in the subject of good roads as the peo- pie of other sections" said MT. Gil- bert.
 The condition of Mayor Carr's health will not permit him to attend the meeting and unless some one goes as q representative of Montgomery Coun- ty, the city will not be represented at the Good Roads Convention.

To determine the number of fish in the sea and how they locate their settlements are obviously problems not easy to settle. The study has been. begun for the benefit of the f1sh- cries in the Irish Sea. The first exc periments are made to learn the ex- tent and nature of the migrations of soles and plaice, and how great an et- feet fishing has in reducing the marine life over a given section of the sea. About 1.000 fishes-mostly plaice and soles--are returned to the water after being marked with brass labels held by silver wire. Rewards are offered for the marked fishes that may be cap- concerning location, etc. to be given-and the Investigating commission expects to hear again from about 25 per cent. of these speci- mems.

The Teacher,s Lantern.

The Teacherss Lantern.
 There were calls" and .'calls'-calls in Judea and afterwards in Galileee. Preliminary and final calls. When this is borne in mind thte Is no conflict in accounts. Discrepancies are in ap- pearances only. -
 From the probationary calls the dis ciples were afterward dismissed to att tend to- their worldly affairs, and while doing So in their old and familiar en- vironments. and free from excitement of novel situations to think on what they had seen and heard. Their third and last call is recorded in Luke v., 1-11. These calls were progressive.
 Andrew. after, finding Peter, prac- tically drops from the narrative, be- ing only mentioned in an incidental way later. He is one of the incon- spicuous apostles, yet his name is as deeply graven on the foundations of the New Jerusalem as any of the twelve No doubt he wrought well and nobly. but to have brought Peter alone would have achieved immortality for him.
 Honorable doubts can always be overcome by the facts of experience The challenge Is still ringing. Come and see-" The experimental test is the truest and most satisfactory of all. There is no substitute for 1t. Jesus calls. He does not force. It is the paradox of history that men ever believed that the Kingdom of peace could be established by the weapons of war.
 The kingdom of heaven, in its es- sence, consists in state of the human soul. It is subjective. not objective; spiritual. not material It can only find entrance and growth by the con- sent of the individual. That was a monstrous sight--the Roman Chris tians" holding the drawn sword over the kneeling heather" tutors while they baptized them.
 There Is a fadeless attractiveness in this old picture. Jesus is not a mon- arch with rod of iron, but Man with human sympathtes.
 It was about the tenth hour. John could never forget the precise time of day when he went in to the Lords humble shelter. and heard Him speak as man never did. It was quarter of o'clock in the evening" when Wesley first felt his heart strangely warmed. But this precision of memo ry need not trouble any one who lacks 1t. Because you can not sname the '. particular hour when you learned to read, does not vitiate the fact of your ability to read. Many can read their heavenly titles who can not say when | they first began to read them 
 There is a vast difference between mediate and immediate knowledge. of Jesus The former comes through sec ondary sources. Scripture and testimo- ny of others. The latter is direct and conscious communion with the Lord.
 The call Is for greater moral earnest ness in social relations. The aim of friendship Is not possessing entertain mant. The question is. What do I stand for in the eye of my friend? What do I interpret to him?

NEW SOCIETY TO BE ORGANIZED
IN WASHINGTON DURING
COMING WINTER,
Aims to Work for Laws to Do Away
With Capital Punishment and
Other Things.

Hang no more men in Washington.
Do away with all vivisection in this
state.
Abolish compulsory vaccination.
These are among the objects of a
new society which is to be organized
throughout the state of Washington
during the coming winter, if the plans
of Mrs. Lydia A. Irons of Milan, are
carried out.
Mrs. Irons is the organizer for an
organization known as the Northwest
ern Ethical Education society. It's
headquarters are in Portland 1t is
her intention during the coming fall
and winter to organize auxiliary So
cieties in every county seat in Wash
ington, or to unite with the humane
societies for the better carrying out
of the humanitarian laws of the state
The objects Of the society cover all
lines of humanitarian work, includ-
ing the adjustment of vivisection,
capital punishment and compulsory
vaccination.
Mrs. Irons is now starting out with
her husband to drive to Portland, the
headquarters of the society, where she
may consult with it's head officers be-
fore starting on the winter cam
paign, says the Spokane Chronicle.
1T is my intention to spend the
winter months in the work of organic
ing branch societies in every county
seat in Washington" stated Mrs
Irons today. 1T is our purpose to
work in the schools and by lectures
to inculcate the ideas of the society,
teaching the children to be humane
We want societies all over the state to
report and prosecute all cases of
cruelty. We also expect to throw light
on the vegetarian idea and to work
against all inhuman sports of every
nature"
Mrs. Irons expects to return to Spo-
kane in the spring and hopes to orga-
nize a branch of the society here or
else to merge it's work with that of
the humane society. She hopes to
eventually to see a state society
formed and perhaps an international
organization. The tenets of the Eth
cal Education society are similar to
those of the Order of the Golden Age
in Europe.

JOHN BROWSkY, DAYTON HOTEL
MAN, HUNTING FOR AUToMo.
BILE SALESMAN,
Alleges Wilson MuIcted Him Out of
OIdsmobiIe Machine by Means of
Worthless Notes.

Sheriff Bauers of Columbia county
was in Walla Walla yesterday on the
trail of w. G. Wilson, an automobile
salesman, wanted on the alleged
charge of obtaining goods under false
pretenses. The complainant in the
case is John Browsky, proprietor of
the Hotel Dayton, VINO alleges that
Wilson mulcted him out of an auto
mobile.
Wilson, who made his appearance
in Walla Walla, acted in a way as
agent for the Holt Manufacturing
company, eastern Washington agents
for the Oldsmabile company. He
worked On commission and met with
fairly good success. He sold Browsky
an Oldsmobile several weeks ago.
Later Browsky became tired of the
machine and alleges that Wilson re-
purchased it under the name of the
Walla Walla Motor Works, giving
in payment several notes which the
hotel man now declares are worth
less. He became suspicious when
Wilson, accompanied by his wife and
children, left Walla Walla two weeks
ago, and swore out a warrant The
present whereabouts of Wilson is
unknown. although the officers be-
lieve that they will eventually capture
him.
The Holt company is in no way in
volved in the transaction as their deal
with Mr.. Browsky ended when he
purchased the machine and paid for
it. Wilson was not an authorized
agent Of the Holt company, merely
collecting a commission when he sold
machine. Contracts that he turned
into the company were first investi-
gated and if found to be correct,
Wilson was then given his commits
sion.

NEW LAW IMPOSING TAX ON
OUTSIDE SHEEP HELD TO BE
INVALID.
Decision was Rendered by JUDGE Ellis
Of Pendeton Yesterday-WiII
Probably End Matter.

Judge Ellis of Pendleton yesterday
handed down a decision in the case
of William Reser versus Umatilla
county, in which the law, passed by the
last Oregon legislature imposing a tax
of 20 cents a head on all sheep taken
into Oregon whose owners are nom
residents of the state, is declared to
be unconstitutional. The case was
brought in the courts of Umatila
county last fall and several weeks
ago a similar suit was commenced by
several Walla Walla sheepmen
against the stock inspector of Union
county asking for an injunction to
prevent the stock inspector collect
ing the tax.
In the case of Mr.. Reser he paid the
tax of 20 cents a mead under protest
and later brought suit to recover the
amount. In rendering his decision
Judge Ellis holds that the law is in
valid because the tax is not uniform;
because it is a per capita and not a
tax on valuation and also because it
provides for taking of property with
out due process of law.
1t is believed that the decision of
Judge Ellis will settle forever the
workings of the law which has prov
ed so obnoxious to outside sheepmen.
Unless the case is appealed to the
supreme court by Umatillt county it
is hardly probable that the suit
brought by Walla Walla sneepmen
against the stock inspector of Union
county will go to trial, although the
plaintiffs are willing to carry the case
to the highest courts.
