These Swift Times.

. This age In which We are living is
one of swift progress. The methods
and customs of yesterday have faded
into traditions. today and tomorrow
they will have passed into romance.
says the News-Scimiter.
For instance:
A telegraph line is soon to be open
ed from the Mediterranean to Timbuc-
too. II Is going to be possible to wire
messages from any metropolis in the
world to the very heart OF the great
Sahara desert. A line has for somo
time been opened to the Luat oases,
which were once one of the favorito
stopping places of those rowing pirates
whose outrages upon caravans were
features of history from time imme-
mortal. The taut wire is compressing
the world into small space.
Another instance:
The rush of gold miners to Death
valley in Nevada, is being accommo-
dated by a thoroughly equipped line
of automobiles. The stage coaches
and mule teams of the earlier day
have gone to the museum. The 200
miles from the nearest railway to the
mines at Bullfrog and Goldfield are
covered in specially built gasoline cars
at the rate of 90 miles an hour. Level
headed enterprise is keeping pace
even with the wild rush for gold In
the heart of the wilderness.

THE development of Coos Bay into

MASONIC ORPHANS HOME.
Believed II VIII BE Built I'm Arkansas
I'm Next Few Months.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 21.-The an
nual meeting of the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Arkansas, which convened
here today, is one of the most import
ant which has been held in this state
for many years. 1t also means a re-
sumption of the annual sessions. For
six years, by special provision of the
grand lodge. biennial sessions were
held as a matter of economy, that the
money might be used in discharging
the obligations due to the Masonic
Temple. BY this means the board of
control will be enabled at the meet
ing. which opened today. to lift the
debt of $4,000 still remaining on the
temple. and to have a balance of about
100000 to form a nucleus of an or
phans' home fund.
There are two important matters to
be considered at this meeting of the
Grand Lodge. that of the establish
ment of an orphans home and an
amendment to the constitution pro
viding for biennial sessions for a per
iod OF 10 years. 1t is believed tn no
there will be favorable action upon
both matters. as they are correlati' q
and are close to the hearts of tie
Masons of Arkansas. The biennial
meetings and per diem and other
Grand Lodge expenses to be apple q
to the orphans home fund. There Is
strong sentiment in favor OF estab-
fishing the home in this city.

Damage snIt AgnInst RoIse.

Suit was brought in the district
court Friday by Luther Snyder of Me-
ridian. through ]. c. Johnston, his at
torney, for the recovery of $4,000 as
damages for false imprisonment in the
city jail year ago. The defendants
to the action are Jared Doollttle, John
Maloney, ]. r. Book and George
Schweitzer. who are claimed TO have
been instrumental In causing Snyder's
arrest.
1t will be recalled that Snyder was
arrested by the police for a violation
of the city ordinance prohibiting the
peddling of meat without license.
He refused TO pay the fine imposed
by the police magistrate, and was
thereupon committed to Jail. He was
released on a writ of habeas corpus
from the supreme court, and the mat
ter was later appealed to the district
court and thence to the supreme court.
II was held that the ordinance under
which Snyder was convicted was void,
largely because OF the fact as shown
that the meat he was peddling was
raised upon his own ranch.
snyder, who is a farmer, residing
near Meridian. now brings suit against
the four butchers named charging
them with having been responsible for
his arrest and mprisonment.-Bois

Washington, Nov. 21.--The senate
committee on interstate commerce
met here today in compliance with a
call issued by Senator Elkins, the
chairman Of the committee, to consid-
er the question of railroad rates legis-
latiou, which will come up in the
coming session of congress.
Ever since the hearing on the sub
ject closed, the committee has had two
experts and a number of clerks en-
ployed compiling information for the
use af the committee and the senate.
They have collected a large mass of
data and will have II in shape avail
able for The committees benefit.
The committee will take up the entire
subject as II no bill had been consid-
cred heretofore but 1t is expected the
chairman will be prepared to present
n measure of his own as basis for
discussion Senator Foraker also has
bill which will receive consideration.
II is expected that the committee will
continue its work until the opening of
congress on December 4, and it is by
no means probable that it will have
finished its work by that time.
The committee is divided in two
factions Senators Cullom, Dolliver
and CIapp are strongly advocating the
passage Of a measure incorporating
the view, Of PRESIDENT Roosevelt on
the subject OF railroad rates legisla-
ton, while the opposition includes
Senators Aldrlch, Foraker, Kean, Mil
lard and Chairman Elkins. There is
! practically no hope that the two fac
tons VIII be able to agree on any
measure ana 1t is almost certain that
at least tsso reports will be submitted,
majority and a minority report, with
possibly individual reports by one or
two members, who hold particular
views on the subject and cannot agree
with their other colleagues.
What the senate is going TO do is
a matter of speculation among the
members. II is understood that some
of the eastern and southern railroads
have in some way signified their in
tention TO support President Roose-
velts policy and the opposition is con-
siderably worked up over the rumor
that other important lines are about
to give UP the fight and line up with
the supporters Of the presidents pol

Feeding Six Weeks Early

George V. Leighton has returned
from a visit to his sheep ranch near
Payette. He said over in that section
sheepmen were having to feed from
a month to six weeks earlier than last
year and that already nearly all the
hay in the Payette valley had. been
bought up. Mr.. Leighton said he
commenced feeding his lambs on the
10th OF the present month. One thing
that is helping out the sheepmen
there said Mr.. leighton, is that the
sheepmen of the upper country were
not bringing their herds down to the
valley for winter feeding as they usu-
ally do. but are securing feed nearer
their range. Mr.. Leighton said
that probably considerable corn would
be shipped in for feed later in the
winter. Hay is selling for 81 a ton
generally, but he tried to purchase
two or three small lots of hay and
could not secure It for less than $3.50.

Physicians From Three States Have
Met at Memphis.


Memphis. Tenn, Nov 21.-Nearly
500 physicians from Mississippi Ar
kansas and Tennessee are assembled
here at present attend the tri-State
Medical association convention. which
opens here today for three days ses-
sion. The opening session was held,
as In former years, in the Hotel Ca
yoso and tas called to order by DR..
H. l.. Sutherland of Rosedale, Miss.
the president of the association. The
attendance Is larger than ever before
and the interest among the delegates
Is greater than i'm former years, owing
to the fact that matters of the utmost
importance to the three states repre-
sented in the convention will come up
for consideration.
The Tri-State Medical association is
the largest and most important district
medical society in the south and it's
meetings are practically clearing
house for medical Information. as the
physicians get togeth and exchange
ideas and Information and profit by
each others experience. This year
many important papers will be read
concerning the prevention and treat
ment Of yellow fever, malaria and
other diseases prevailing in the Mis-
sissippi valley. The entertainment
program includes a banquet which
will be rendered to the visiting dele
gates tomorrow evening. The quar-
antine question will be carefully dis
Cusaed.

about their community Of interests
than in laws that will reach tariffs
for long freight hauls.
The men lined up with the Elkins
contingent say that any community
of interests between the roads will not
be disturbed by administration forces,
If the kind of rate measures which
the administration approves has plain
sailing. However much or little there
may be in such charges, they are be-
ing driven home with all emphasis
possible. Nothing has disturbed the
Elkins people so much lately as the
speech OF Senator Knox. in Pittsburg.
