 The cargo consists of l65 tons of dynamite and 25J cases of gasoline. The latter and fifty tons of the dynamite will be discharged here for the use of the railroad company, and the remain der taken around to Tunagain Arm.
 As precaution however, before the pile-driyer got to work at driving piles under the railroad dock the Vol ante was moved around to the end of Wharf No. l. It was feared that the jar might touch off the fireworks and tear hol7 in the bay.

ATHENA, OCTOBER 10, 1906

1t seems impossible for the Ameri-
can public to arouse itself to the point
of taking reasonable and whole
some interest in its own great affairs.
It is only in local and sporadic cases,
like the uprising in Philadelphia, that
one can see even hint or suggestion
of the presence of sentiment and
purpose whose existence in the nation
at large is as needful as it is in any
locality. 1t would not be difficult to
present long list of pertinent illus
trations of national indifference con-
cerning great national affairs, but one
will suffice. The land frauds recent
ly exposed are greater in the aggre-
gate--many times greater-than all
other frauds ON this nation since the
government was created. That is q
simple fact, but it is fact of enor-
nous magnitude. And yet the Ameri-
can people seem to take it as a mat
ter of course, an item in the general
order of business.

"LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.
New York Sun. J

1t is less than three years since a
quarrel among thieves threw into the
hands of Secretary Hitchcock the clew
to the land frauds ON the Pacific
Coast From that day until now he
has shown neither variableness nor
shadow of turning"
Quietly, but increasingly, the clew
has been followed. Whether the pub
lie knew or cared about it all has
been, apparently, matter of total
Indifference to Secretary Hitchcock.
Fraud, almost unparalleled in its scope
and in its boldness, had been and was
being carried on. The people of the
United States were being robbed and
swindled out of millions upon millions
of dollars. The quiet man who runs
our interior department set the
wheels of the law in motion and has
kept them busy.
The local work in the case has been
carried on by Mr.. Francis J. Heney,
the federal district attorney. Much
credit is due him for the intelligence
and fidelity which he has displayed.
Six months ago it was reported that
up to that time there had been 68 in
dictments and six convictions in the
land fraud matter. Since then a
United States senator, John HI. Mitch
ell, has been added to the convicted
list. Last Wednesday the jury of the
United States district court returned
verdict which read as follows:
In the case of the United States
against John N. Williamson, Van
Gessner and Marion R. Biggs, we, the
jury, find the defendants guilty as
charged.
John N. Williamson is member of
the United States house of representa-
tives. In two earlier trials of the
case the jury disagreed. But there
was nothing in such an experience to
dismay such man as Attorney
Heney. He believed he was right,
and the secretary supported him.
Result-three more convictions. Mr..
Hitchcock, commenting on the out
come says that Mr.. Heney deserves
special commendation, and makes two
significant statements: There is
more of this business to come. /"
"We intend to push this thing to a
finish"
We make our obeisance and present
our compliments and congratulations
to the man who has made good"

good work go on.

CHEAPER INSURANCE..
(Oregonian.


No possible exposure of graft in
the life insurance business could sur
prise anybody now; still, the revela-
tions as Mr.. Hughes extracts them
from the reluctant witnesses are
piquant aud instructive. The latest
concern the pickings of the family of
Richard H. McCurdy, president of the
New York Mutual Life, and certain
tidbits which went to the friends and
relatives of Vice President Granniss.
Tho son and son-in-law of President
McGurdy, for example, have received
from the company since 1908 in COM
missions the handsome sum of 2,600,-
600 or more, to say nothing of gen
erous salaries besides. Upon this
fact a periodical like Dr.. Liman Alb
bott's outlook may make the sloppy
comment that such things have been
so common that they can. scarcely be
called immoral; but to less enlight-
ened minds these transactions seem
not only immoral, but to partake of
that very low sort of depravity which
is called swindling. 1t will be for
tunate if the business of life insur-
ance in the United States does not
suffer permanent injury from the mis-
deeds of the men who have controlled
it during the last decade. 1t will be
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1905-10-13

unfortunate If the revelations of the
misdeeds and extravaganza of these
men do not bring about some effec-
tive reforms.
The fraternal orders which offer
life insurance to their members have
long been contending that the charges
of the old-line companies were exorb-
itant. 1t has been their doctrine that
insurance equally safe could be furn-
ished for fraction of the premiums
charged by companies like the Equit-
able and New York Life, and the
whole trend of the evidence taken be-
fore the Investigating committee is to
sustain them. The same conclusion
follows from a comparison between
the expense of managing the life in
surance companies in America and
foreign countries. Here the expenses
Of management devour about 18 per
cent of the total income of the COM
pany upon the average, while in Eng,
land they amount only to per cent
and in Germany to per cent. There
is no good reason why there should be
this difference, except that in America
wealthy corporations are allowed to
do as they please with their own prop
erty and other peoples also, whereas
abroad they are kept under strict in
spection and control of the law. Ger
man paternalism may be annoying,
but it is not without advantages; the
German government saw through two
of our great insurance companies and
forbade, them to do business there long
before we had begun to suspect that
anything was the matter.
There is no such thing thought of
as economy in the conduct of an
American life insurance company,
generally speaking. Ways are sought
to spend and waste money, but never
to save it. The reason for this lies in
the enormous surplus which most
companies have on hand, rightfully
belonging to the policy. holders, but at
the mercy of the officials to graft up
ON without limit or restraint.

New light OH the efficiency of the
American law for the restriction of
immigration was shed by the debate
on the aliens bill in the British House
of Commons the other day. The pre-
mier, in defending the bill, said that
Great Britain had been q sort of sieve
through which immigrants entered
America. The fit got through and
the unfit remained in the British
Isles. This applies, of course, only to
those who sail from British ports.
When Great Britain joins with the
United States in prohibiting the en-
trance of undesirable immigrants it
will not be SO easy for the countries
of continental Europe to dump their
incompetents beyond their own boun-
daries.

1t has been suggested that the 40.-
900 local merchants in Iowa get to-
gether to fight the mail order houses
by raising fund sufficiently large to
establish an immense wholesale
house in Chicago to do the buying and
shipping for local houses in the COM
bination. This mail order business
threatens the ruin of business houses
in all small towns of Iowa and is a
matter for serious consideration.

A wise contemporary has suggested
that the best method local merchants
can adopt to fight the mail order
houses is to advertise their goods and
their prices in the home newspapers.
The mail order firms food the rural
mail routes with advertisements. If
the local dealers can save themselves
from destruction by using printers
ink it is a reasonably cheap salvation.
