Wept With Despair.


For five days Russian soldiers how
ever, held themselves against the field
artillery pounding them until the frosty
air reverberated with the thunder OF can
non, the din of bursting shell, and the
rattle of musketry fire, but neither steel
pointed shell nor nickel bullets availed
against the frozen earth works. The gum
ners actually wept with dispair at the
impotence of the attack.
Mortar batteries came up at a gallop
in the hope of demolishing the fortifi-
cation. Night and day the stream Of
shells was poured against the earth
works, but it had very little effect. The
men seemed Indifferent to danger or cold
which latter was of Arctic intensity
Their fingers. hands and feet were be-
numbed, while stinging snow and dust
blinded them. The slightest wound caus-
ed excrutiating pain Warm blood no
sooner exuded from lacerated flesh than
it began to freeze.
Wounded Soon Died.
The wounded could not be left exposed
and If they did not receive attention
within an hour, they died. The surgeons
their assistants and nurses, were almost
powerless in the bandaging of wounds.
for they were obliged to wear leather
gloves or mittens in order to resist the
cold. The men seemed to be living again
the horrors of the winter campaign of
1872 against the Turks. Everything that
could be done was done. But man was
poweress in the face of nature, which
heaped tortures upon the troops.

RAILROADS IN CANADA.

The returns of the Dominion rail-
way department just published, show
that on June 80 last there were 49,
611 miles of steam railroads in Cam
ada--over 500 miles more than the
year before. This is more than the
mileage of the United States in pro-
portion to the population of the two
countries, although less than one
tenth as much in absolute length.
Canada now has more railroads in
proportion to population than amy
other country in the world except
some of the Australian and African
colonies. Its railroad system is twice
as great in actual extent as that OF
Italy. almost as great as that of Great
Britain and Ireland, and greater than
the combined systems of all of South
and Central America and the West
Indies, emitting Argentina.
Moreover, it is now building the
longest two lines under construction
anywhere in the world-the Canadian
Northern and the Grand Trunk Paci-
fic. each of which will eventually
span the continent. In addition tC
it's steam lines, Canada had in opera
ton last year 767 miles of electric
road carrying 1S1,6S9,99 passengers
In other words, every man, woman
and child in the country took on ar
average of nearly 80 trips on the cleo
trio cars. The Canadian steam lines
killed last year less than half, ant
the electric lines little more than &
fourth as many people as the year be

Baker county has enriched the
state school funds to the amount of
$940, in fines imposed on violators
of the anti-gamblng and Sunday
closing law. The cost of the prosecu-
tions will amount to something less
than this sum and so the state
breaks even, the cause of justice is
strengthened and the law respected.
The dispatch with which the cases
against the violators of the law have
been brought to trial and convictions
returned in Baker county is encour-
aging to those who desire to see the
law enforced in Umatilla county.
There is no reason why a grand jury
at the June session of the circuit
court aided by the vigorous public
sentiment and an energetic prosecu-
tor, should not bring about a whole
sale respect for the law in this coun-
ty. The frontier days of rowdyism
law violation and open vices in the
West are passing. The standard OF
citizenship must keep pace with the
surrounding progress of the age.

II. p. Hoover Manufacturing Co.,
of Racine, Wis, have their represen-
tatives in the city canvassing for one
of the very latest and most improved
smoothing irons and polishers ever
invented. 1t is a unique contrivance
that is attractive as well as it is use
full. There are many varieties and
kinds of flat irons in existence. but
this is something entirely different
of any that has yet been put on the
market.
The exterior is a nickle-plated box
highly polished. The iron proper is
inside of this box and is a maleable
chunk, weighing less than three
pounds. 1t is made with space in the
center to prevent its expansion be-
yond the cavity in which it is de-
signed to work and at the same time
radiates all the heat that is possible
| 1t is so made that it can be placed
in the open fire and heated to red
heat.
When it is put inside of the nickle-
plated enclosure it holds the heat for
period of 80 minutes and the metal
of the enclosure is oxidized so that
the heat, while it is very intense,
does not radiate, and there is no more
warmth than comes from the ordi-
nary flat iron when hot enough to be
used. one side of the iron is finished
for a polisher and does all kinds of
work in that line as neatly as any
laundry in the city.
1t is reversible and one side can
be used as we'll as the other.
1t is a contrivance that unquestion-
ably meets a long felt want and is
its own best recommendation.
Agents are now canvassing the city
and expect to open headquarters for
the remainder of the season.

THE SCHOOL BOOK TRUST.

The Walla Walla Statesman be-
labors the school book trust in the
following able manner:
The American Book company the
school textbook trust, has appoint
ed an agent for every county in this
state for the purpose of bringing in
nuence to bear upon county and city
boards of education to secure the
adoption of its books. Walla Walla
county has not been sighted. The
Gunderson law abolishing state uni
formity of textbooks and providing
for a go-as-you-please county and
district system, was passed at the
behest of the book trust and it now
proposes to reap its reward. 1t would
be the proper thing if the county

directors in the incorporated towns

BUSINESS AND STEADY HABITS.

The Chicago & Alton railroad in its
recent rules for employees has for
hidden its men to visit race tracks,
dance halls or any resorts where
liquor is sold or gambling permitted.
Good service, it holds, depends upon
steady habits, and both help insure
public safety.
By way of example, officials quit
carrying intoxicating liquors on their
private cars or entering saloons along
the line of the road. Such consist
ency is bound to command respect
among employees, if not necessarily
imitation.
The company makes no preteRse
of carrying on a moral crusade. 1t
hopes to live up to business princi-
pies which depend upon the compe-
tency and reliability of its men. "All
the things which are prohibited" I"
says General Passenger Agent Charl-
ton, "either tend or might tend per-
manently or temporarily to impair
a mans mental and physical powers" "
When temperance and good habits
are made part of a mans earning
capacity he will often cultivate them
even if the loftier pleas of morality
/ fail to move him.

CLEVER STEAL BLOCKED.

President Roosevelt discovered a
suspicious bill which made its sue
cessful way through the house and
senate, and took the necessary meas
ure to prevent its further progress.
1t was a bill taking off part of the
Yosemite National Park, ostensibly to
be added to the forest reservation,
hut, according to well informed per-
sons, really to be added to the prop
erty of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad.
SO deftly was it engineered through
congress that it reached the president
before anybody had a suspicion of 1t.
What excited Mr.. Roosevelt's sus-
picion was the discovery that the
lands to be turned into the forest re-
serve had already been decided. by
a commission appointed by himself
to be a part of the park.
The president Investigated. and
found that railroad men and others
had been lobbying for the bill He
discovered its real purpose, sent for
a member of the California delega-
tion, examined him about it, and an
nounced his purpose of vetoing the
measure.-Dayton Courier Press.
