Paris, Jan. 4.-The view prevails. in

mediation is not likely to result. from
the fall of Port Arthur. The officials
say the chancellories Of London, Paris.
Berlin and Washington have substan.
TALLY agreed on the same principle,
namely. that mediation will be prac-
tical only when one party asks for it.
The officials are fully convinced that
Russia will not ask for or consent to

It ia asserted that Japan's success is

cred to be the chief danger following

that your goods will not only sell
better but you will feel more inter-

Does 1t Pay to Take Pains :?
From Pacific Homestead. Oct o6l

| lfrom Pacific Homestead Oct. 26l
Editor Pacific Homestead: We
know that in the columns of the Pa
cine Homestead we can reach lust
the kind of people, and the most of
them, that we could possibly do in
this great producing section of the
west.
We will not include all branches
OF farm products, but direct your
attention to the growers and pro-
ducers of perisbible products, as
we believe that in these products
the growers are not in all cases re-
allzing all that they should. We
Will not say that the failure to bring
good returns is in all cases with
the grower, for we will admit that
even when he has done all in his
power to make his products salable
he Will sometimes receive unsatis-
factory returns; but We do know
that In IS cases out of 100 the pre-
parat1on for market has all to do
with the account of sale returns.
In no other line of business should
there be more pains taken to pro-
duce instant sales than in the pro.
ductlon of fruits and vegetables
Your shipment arrives on the mar
ket, let US say, On Saturday morn
ing, as is often the case. Now the
competition is strong, as there will
be just such shipments arrive from
all over the country on the same
day. Now is the time the attract
i've appearance will do it's work.
You will agree with US that more
goods are sold by their appearance
than by their flavor, as the eye is
the first to be Influenced, and it
will not be hard matter for you to
study the latest methods of packing
or grading. and you will be sur
prised to tiud that you will have
double the interest in the work and
at the same time be putting out a
finished product. That is where
you want to get. Don't cuss the
commission man every time you
get chance; he has the hardest
end of it to sell your goods when
they are not in salable shape-and
think how he has to lie to sell
goods that will not bear inspection.
You had better 60 to some large

Construction on Portland Road

Friday at Vancouver, Wash.
Stems & Shields, general contrac-
tors for construction of the Port
land & Seattle Ry., (Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern) between
Kennewick and Portland, via Van
couver, awarded subcontracts to 10
different bidders for sections of the
line from Cape Horn for most of
the distance to Kennewick, conf
prising about 1870 of the 23o miles.
It's ascertained that the price
stipulated with the general con-
tractors is, in round numbers, SIo,-
10000, although Peter Stems re-
fused to confirm this, saying it is a
matter for the chief engineers to
tell. It is also learned on good
authority that the date for COM
pletion is Nov. 1, 1906. This ex-
penditure is understood to be aside
from the bridges over the Columbia
and Willamette, estimated to cost
over 81, 900, 900. Forty contractors
have been bidding for portions of
the work, but the slices of the con-
struction fund have so far been
parceled to little more than dozen.
Several contracts have been
awarded for work westward from
Cape Horn, but not announced be-
cause no attempt will probably be
made to prosecute work at that end
until the eastern and larger portion
is finished or practically so. There
is a great deal of dirt work below
Cape Horn that cannot be econom-
ically done during the winter.
The subcontractoys to whom
awards of portions of the work
have been made are: Porter Bros.
Spokane, Immediately east of Cape
Horn, IS miles of grading; Pat
Welch, Spokane, the next section,
and the following firms in the sue
cessive order named of sections of
the grade toward Kennewick: c..

VISITOR ENTHusEs OVER YAvA-
 PAT COUNTY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Frank P. Halsey, mention of whom was made few days ago in the Jour nal-Miner, is a visitor to this section of Arizona for the first time, returned Friday evening from a trip to the Bradshaws. Yesterday morning he left for Pacific Coast points, and ex- peeted to reach his home at Oswego, New York, in about two weeks. MT. Halsey says that he is more than pleased with Prescott and as he viewed the magnificent stretches of scenery, and became conversant with our min eral possibilities, it created in his estimation of the country generally a pretty panorama of conditions, and he pronounees this as a grand section of the union in any way one. may view it. -.
 While in this section, MT. Halsey was a guest at the neat little mining camp of the Saratoga Gold Mining company, on the apex of the Brad shaw mountains, and of which enter prise his grandfather, O. F. Place, is the general manager. Mir. Halsey came to visit his relative, but before leaving yesterday became somewhat enthusiastic over the showing on this property, and now he, too, follows i'm the footsteps of so many others, and believes, as they do, that the property is an excellent one.
 This young man is with the Diamond Match Company of New York, and says that this is but the beginning of his trips to Arizona.

PRETTY GIRLS GET
 CONDUCTORS 0UsTED Lose Their Jobs By 0bliging Harvey
 Mattresses
Allowed Then To Ride Free Contrary To
 Orders
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

 . Another good railroad man has lost his position with the-~Santa Fe be- cause he wished to accommodate a fel- low trainman, who likewise lost his of- feial head, because he made the re- quest, says the San BernardinO Times Index. .1., ..-,
 Almost everyone in San Bernardino has encountered Conductor P. J. Chase, who formerly resided in Third street, but since being promoted to the over land run he has been living with his family in Los Angeles. It was Conduc- tor Chase who wished to accommodate conductor on the Winslow division and who ran into Needles before he lost his job. Conductor Thompson of the Winslow run had for a passenger a young lady who had been employed by the Harvey house people.
 Formerly it was customary for Chi eago young ladies to secure positions with the Harvey eating house com pany and then proceed to travel west on pass. Arriving at their destina- tion at some eating station along the line, they would work for a week or so and then conclude that they wished to move on to Los Angeles or the coast. After working near the coast for a time the walters conclude to return home to stay, and are given another pass back to Chicago. That would be the last of them, as far as working for the Harvey house people was concern ed. But the rule has been changed now, and they have to sign a contract whereby they agree to work in one place for six months
 The young lady who caused two con duetors to lose their positions, didn't like the rule, and as she could secure no pass at Winslow she enlisted the sympathies of Conductor g. Thompson, who carried her to Needles, and there 'squared' her passage to Los Angeles on Conductor Chase's train.
 A spotter was on the train and the result was that the two conductors were called on the carpet, Conductor ThOmp- son wished to take the burden of the blame in order to save Chase his posi- tion, but the general manager said they both would have to go as they were equally guilty. Ni'
 Conductor Chase is particularly we'll known in San BernardinO, where he has resided for many years. He had been identified with the Santa Fe for at least eight years, and until the last year was conductor on. local passenger trains.

A Pleasant Social Affair.

Those who were present at the league social given by Rev. and Mrs. Cheek, at the parsonage Friday evening can attest to the fact that a pleasant even ing can be had without going into an immoral or questionable resort.
 The principal game of the evening was a drawing and guessing contest. Mrs. Arnold, being the most successful contestant, gave a splendid recitation as "penalty" for same. Rev. Sloth- over was present, and after telling three Jewish and ore German aneedote, gave some good counsel and earnest exhortation as to church work. The pastor followed with some general re- marks and words of welcome. Light refreshments were served to about twenty-five guests.
 This pleasant feature of the Epworth League work will be repeated at least one a month.
