Reports Unfounded.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, July 10.- Reports that the Russian army Is in a precarious situation appears to be with out foundation. Investigations made by correspondents of the Associated Press show that neither flank has been turned and that in fact the Russian wings are more advanced than the cen- ter.
 The Japanese center Is strongly forti- fled. Many siege guns have been em- placed along the Changtufu-Na -Nanchenxe line, and there Is a triple ring of forts commanding the Mandarin road.
 The Japanese are using a novel style of entrenchment, consisting of ditches covered with platforms which are bai- anced in the middle and which tilt into vertical positions under the feet of at- tackers.

THE MODEST BEGINNING
OF OUR RAILROADS

In 1885, while weswere publishing the Johnstone
Tribune, there placed in our hands copy of the
Greensburg, Pa Gazette dated March 25 1926 In the
of the Gazette referred prominence given
discussion of the method of transporting all kinds
of freight and also passengers by railroad with with
out steam power First there is woodcut il
ustraton of section of a railroad with view of 10
comotive having in tow three transportation wagons
copied from communication in the Baltimore American
together with explanation the method of operating
the road with the aid locomotive. The following the
explanation of the diagram:
Believing that a diagram of a railroad together
with the steam and other wagons upon it, would tend to
render the subject easily understood have caused
one to be engraved 1t will be observed referring this
diagram, that the steam engine has six wheels four of
which, the foremost and hndmost have grooves
fit the rail like those of the intended carry
merchandise and upon the smooth rail- that the
two middle ones which cog whees play into the
of the rails which somewhat to the sur
face of the earth than the smooth edge The four wheels
which upon the smooth surface support the whole
weight of the steam engine OF course, the middle or
wheels not pressed upon and being put into
ton by the machinery of the engine prope the
wagons in the manner the wheels of the steam
boats act. BY the locomotive engine fifty tons of goods
may be conveyed by tenhorse power engine a level
road the rate of six miles hour lighter weights
at proportionae increase of speed Carriages the
of twelve fourteen miles per hour For canals
is necessary to have dead level, but rail
roads; engine will work good elevation OF
oneeghth of an inch to yard. Where the ascent OF
descent is rapid and cannot be couneraced by cutting
off embankments recourse must be had to permanent
gnes and inclined planes just recourse is had to locks
for canals but here again the railroad system has the
advantage the incline plane causes delay while lock
ing creates great deal"
Notwithstanding the favorable opinion of the writer
in the American the editor of the Gazette skeptca
He commented the cut and the explanation fol
lows I'VE have prepared and placed the first page
of engraving representing locomotive en-
gine, having in three transportation wagons accom-
panied by explanation from another paper 1t would
be impossible, think, considering the kind of country
through which road passes bring the steam
into successful operation between the east and west
requires too many stationary engines to prope the wa
gons hills. 1t would be necessary to
have half dozen in sight of this town, for sit

ions expressed by the editor of the Gazette The

east and the for than fifty years and without

HEART OF A CHILD

The head of the harvester trust in this country is
Cyrus II. Mccormick of Chicago Last January his lit
tie 70 year old daughter who the light Of his home
left it forever. For two years before her death, it is
said she had thought and talked deal of better
houses for the who abored for her father She de-
sired to have the cottages equipped with every modern
convenience. She wanted them made attractive, and
yet low in cost to command only small rent The
little girl recognized that these would be occu-
pied by sefsupporng men, and that there was no rea-
why charity should be shown expected.
Now, after her death, her millionaire ta her has set
about complying with her wishes memorial to his
childs sympathy the toiers The cottages to be
built in every way nearly possible in accordance
with the little girls expressed desire Each will have
lawn with vegetable garden in the rear.
In the years come, when about the lawns and in
gardens throng the children who viii call these cot
tages their homes the childish voices will tell the story
OF this young girl who not content to receive all the
good things life herself without thought for others who
were denied them
great need in the world, adds the Denver News,
which tells the story of the kindly sympathy and
good will that spring spontaneously from the hearts of
children. Except ye become little child taught
the Master of the art of true livng-and the world
needs comprehend the significance of the teaching.
That impulsive sympathy and generosity which most
children their less fortunate comrades stands
as living object lesson to world harsh and cruel in
judgments sefshy Indifferent to the want and
wretchedness all about it.

hanger OF class government
This government was formed with as its
basic idea the principle of treating each
man on his worth as man, OF paying
no heed to whether he is rich or poor,
no heed to his creed or his social stand
ing, but only to the way in which he per-
formed his duty TO himself to his neigh-
Dor. to the state. From this principle
we cannot afford to vary by so much as
a hands breadth. Many republics nave
risen in the past and some OF them
tlourished long but sooner or later they
rel; ana the cause most potent IN brlng-
ing about their ran was IN almost all
cases the fact that they grew to be gov
ernments in the interest OF class IN

UNMTXED EVIL

The Citizen has more than once spoken of the evil
of listing New Mexico property for taxation at mere
nominal figure or to put it in figures the
ritory at s4OO0OtOO s9O0OOOOOO would be far be-
meath the true value. The evil may be bearing
fruit in the following extract and the comment upon
it:
The assessor of El Paso county, Texas has com
pleed his work and finds that the county has in round
numbers SS000000 worth of taxable property almost
onehaf much the assessed valuation of the entire
territory of New Mexico, than five times exceed
ing that of Bernao county the richest in the territory
Nor is the valuation of E Paso county high ac-
count of the putting down the many railroads
entering E Paso for large share of the taxes for they
assessed $25OOOOO only oneseventh of the to-
tai assessment. III Paso county adjoins New Mexico,
and its climate, resources and agricultural development
is inferior to Dona Ana county county upon which it
borders and comparing assessment returns the tax
able wealth of FL Paso county exceeds that of the south
half of New Mexico But then the fault may lie In
the assessment returns.-Santa Fe New Mexican.
If Ell Paso county in the hands of such horde
of political graers Santa Fe this town would
not be worth much. Still it does that Santa Fe
Las Vegas and Albuquerque combined should show up
at least half much wealth Ell Paso. But Colone
Frost we have the advantage of working under home
government property valuations for taxation pur
poses only assessed at twohrds their market price
in the city. Not single property owner in E Paso
would sell 80 per cent above the assessed value of his
her property. So you that the real value o.
E Paso countys taxable property than half the
assessed valuations of New Mexico.-E Paso Times

1T is SATISFACTORY

The general situation is exceedingly satisfactory,
says Henry Cews bumper crop, the second lar
gest wheat crop, and good cotton is combination
of good fortune that is irresistible Already there is
splendid foreign demand for these products and for
eign running upon another record breaking
scale.
Some idea of the improvement in domestic trade is
obtained from the of bank clearngs which in the
nine months ending September 80 amounted to $03600-
100000 increase of nearly 81 per cent last year
This is phenomenal exhibit and is more due to
the actual growth of business than higher prices and
speculation
Railroad earnings also continue to give ndisputabe
evidences of national industrial activity by showing lar
ger gross returns Traffic is already beyond capacity
some of the roads could employ almost double the
number of The record of mercantile failures is
also assuring the total for the nine months being
only $76 OO0 against $l OOO0 600 for the time
last
