All boys like to earn a few pennies
now and then, but. Mark Twain tells Of
a very unusual way in which he once
made the prineely sum of S. as small
boy. At one school he attended there
was a strict rule against marking the

his choice between paying S. or TAX
Ing public whipping. The irresistible
combination Of shiny topped desk and
brand new knife in his pocket was
too much for Mark. He succu1nbed to
the temptation and whitfield away I'M
til the teacher caught him. The punish
ment was set for the following day,
and Marks father. thinking it pity
the lad should be publicly whipped,
gave him a lecture and a five dollar
bill. Five dollars looked pretty big to
Mark. He thought it over carefully,
and when the time came, with the bill

GIFTS APPRAISED.
Foreign Valuations on Presents, To-
tai is Only a Few Thousands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 24.-The
examination and appraisement of the
presents received by Miss Alice Roose-
welt during her visit to the Orient has
begun. The officials at the George
town custom house have begun tc
open up the twenty-seven boxes in
which the presents were shipped and
other souvenirs OF the visit which re-
suited in a social conquest of the far
east by the presidents daughter.
The custom office says the task is
anything but an easy one, owing to
the necessity laid on them to ap
mercial value. Only about one-thirG
of the boxes have been opened and
Collector Nyman and his staff are said
to be somewhat surprised, as the val
uation of their contents will exceed
scarcely few thousand dollars.
Although the presents nave lain in
the strong room in the basement Of the
Georgetown postoffice building, n
which the customshouse is located, for
three weeks, guarded night and day,
there is no effort to get rid Of them
quickly. When the president instruct
ed that no special hurry was desired
and that they should take the regular
course the officials devoted their atten-
ton to appraising the large amount of
merchandise that already had arrived.
They were unusually busy owing to
the importation of Christmas goods.
AS the work of appraising Miss
Roosevelt's presents is being done
along with the other work of the office,
it is doubtful if the last box will have
been examined and the valuation fixed
before next week. Miss Roosevelt is
on a visit to relatives in Massacnu
sets and will probably be home in
| time to receive them. Some presents
she has not yet seen.

WALLULA PACIFIC OFFICIALS
SAY THE ROAD WILL BE CON-
STRUGGLED.
Claim Work Has Not Been Blocked by
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.

That there will be two roads down
the north bank of the Columbia river
was given out yesterday in Portland by
l. Gerlinger, president of the Wallula
Pacific, who persists in his story that
he is not affiliated with the Hartman
interests in his project, and that he
has not been blocked by the Northern
Pacific.
AS vet no word has been received
tour maps filed by the Northern Pa
cific and Wallula Pacific, but Mr.. Ger
linger says this is a matter that will
require some time, as all land affected
will have to be checked up. No grad
ing has been done by his company as
the preliminaries have not been COM
pleted 1t is contended that the two
companies can use the same track by
virtue of the authority granted by the
Washington canyon act, which also
applies to bridges.
That the company means business is
evident from the fact that Louis
Gerlinger, treasurer of the Wallula Pa
cific has made application to the
Washington state land commission
er for the purchase of shore land on
the Columbia in front of lot 3, section
"a, township 3, range east, in the vi
cinity of DranO.
Right of Way Secured.
1t is said that to date over 40 miles
of the right of way has been secured
by the Gerlinger interests and sc
transferred that it is safe from in
reference by the Northern Pacific
with the exception of a few points
where condemnation proceedings might
be tried. The grade is declared to be
no greater than one-half per cent.

JOINT RATES WILL MEAN MUCH
BIGGER PRICE FOR HIS
WHEAT CROP.
Grain Commissioners Believe Vast
Amount of Good Will Result From
Colfax Hearing.

If the ruling of the state railway
commission that the o. r. & N. and
Northern Pacific must establish joint
rates in the state of Washington
goes into effect it will prove of great
benefit to the farmers of Walla Walla
county, is the opinion of w. H. Reed
a member, of the state grain commits
sion. 1t will mean, so Mr.. Reed says,
that the farmers Of Walla Walla can
ship their grain to Tacoma and re-
ceive better price than is possible at
this time. 1t will also mean much
for Tacoma as it will result in near
ly all of the wheat raised east of the
mountains being shipped to that port
for export to the Orient.
That this opinion is also held by !
w. Arrasmith, of the grain commits.
sion, is evidenced by the following let
ter that was received from that gen.
tleman today by Mr.. Reed:

force over the o. R. & N. and N. P.
lines, Tacoma will certainly get large
| portions of the grain now produced in
the territory occupied exclusively by
| the former road This will be the log
zeal result for the reason Puget Sound,
is, and has for many years been, a. bet
ter grain and hay market than Port
land, and I am gratified to note that
| the business men of the Sound country
have at last awakened to the benefits
which will necessarily result from
such a policy.
| The farmer is certainly entitled tc
the privilege Of shipping his products
to the market which offers the high
est price and under a joint rate policy
the Tacoma and Seattle merchants
would get a large trade in this state
which is now enjoyed by Portland
merchants exclusively because of the
arbitrary policy which a foreign cor
poration has maintained for a long
time. The facts brought to light a
the recent session Of the railway com
mission were a revelation to many
people, and especially to those from
the west side, who have hitherto beer
apparently blind to their own best in
terests by allowing themselves to b.
hoodwinked by hired agents of TIL
railroad companies. Joint rates ar
not yet established, but the railroad
lcompanies have decided to put them il
force as soon as practicable and I an
confident the commission will do so. II
fact, since the state has made such
strong case against the railroad com
panies it cannot refuse to fix join
rates and until that is accomplish,
we cannot reap the full fruits of GU
victory.
