aid:
"Bicycle accidents are almost
unheard of, and the 'scorcher' is
practically extinct. The anto
will run the course that the BIZ
cycle has run. Most people who
use the machine are careful and
courteous. There is an occas-
ional inglorious exception, and it
is these few exceptions that are
responsible for the unfavorable
opinions that are sometimes
found and the drastic legislation
that is sometimes attempted.
The speed of automobiles is
properly restricted in crowded
places for excellent reasons. One
of these is to enable other peo-
pie to get out OF the way of the
automobile, and the other is to
make it possible to stop a car in
time to avoid an accident even if
a pedestrian should unwittingly
get into the way. A considerater
person does not need laws to
regulate his speed on the pub
lie streets. 1t is for the other
class that laws are necessary and
reasonable regulations on the
subject should be enforced"

Not Do Licked For.
A special to the Minneapolis
Journal from New York gives
the reasons why E. H. Hartman
will not build a through line be-
tween the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern to the coast, and
also why the other railroad sys-
TENS interested in northwestern
traffic are not going to do things
according to the rumors and re-
ports printed in the New York
papers.
The Journals correspondent
quotes IL party well up in Great
Northern railroad connections on
this subject as follows:
eff war of that kind broke out,
the Milwaukee and the North
western would be up against it
in three years and the Union Pa
cific would be itself on the verge,
carrying two, or perhaps three,
bankrupt railroads on it's books
of assets. Therefore war is not
going to break out. The reason
is that the old man Hill has got
the railroads of the great north
west by the tail, and they know
it.
ssrhe Great Northern was built
across the continent on the low
est possible grades and at the
lowest possible cost. 1t was
built on the stock not on bonds.
The others were built on bonds
and the stocks were the rake-off.
That is the reason that the Great
Northern could cut it's annual
net earnings to $5,ooo,ooo and
still be solvent. If youcut down
the freight earnings of the Union
Pacific 40 per cent-that is
enough to meet the cut possible
on the Great Northern without
causing Hill to default-Union
Pacific would not earn it's
charges by over s3,O0o,000 a
year. With a similar reduction
the Milwaukee aud the North
Western would run $4,000, 900
behind fixed charges every year.
HILL HOLDS THE KEY.
"Figure as you please on the
boundless credit and power of
the Union Pacific, in the end it
comes to this, that j. J. Hill has
| in his hands the key to thenorth-
western railroad situation. Mr..
Hartman may rave IN his dissap-
pointment over his defeat in the
invasion of Hills territory. do
not believe that either Mr.. Har-
riman or the bankers who have
stood behind him, and to whom
he owes so much of his power,
will dare to lift hard to precipi-
tate again the state of affairs that
landed the Union Pacific in the
receivership of 1898.
There is not going to be war
| in the northwest. There is
going to be peace-and the kind
Of peace that J. J. Hill and J. P.
Morgan say that there will be.
A month from now it will be
known across the cont n mt that
here is peace. These alleged
fights arise out of market con.
ditions. After it is all over there
will probably be a re-arrange-
| ment of the situation up north,
but it will take form not looked
for anywhere. It will be split
in one party-not a split between
two parties. A'so-it won't hurt
Hill. When it is all over you will
note that old man Hill is still the
biggest railroad man west Of the
Mississippi river, if not west OF
the Atlantic. F."

Champlin had invited the little boy,
her son, and his nurse to meet her at
Gold Hill for little picnic there, and
Mr.. Champlin had allowed them to go.
They had been picnieking some two
hours or so, when two men appeared on
the scene and, together with Mrs.
Champlin, succeeded in spiriting the
boy away in a carriage. The nurse,
taking alarm and escaping, telephoned
Mr.. Champlin at the dredge, and he
promptly sent out both officers and tele-
grams for the apprehension of the boy.
The carriage containing the two par
ties was located near Woodville, the
boy recovered and again put into the
custody Of his father.

The first floating telephone in the
world is to be installed in Great Salt
Lake by tho Rocky Mountain Bell Tel.
ephone company in time for the open
ing Of the bathing season, says the Salt
Lake Herald. Three thousand feet
from the Saltair pavilion, where the
average depth Of water is more than
four feet, tho telephone will be placed
on a buoy. The buoy will be anchored,
and IL will be possible to talk through
the telephone to any city on the Rocky
Mountain system.
The primary object Of the installa-
tion is the saving Of life. There have
been times in the past when a tele.
phone in the lake would have been the
means Of rescuing venturesome bathers.
