TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Sept. q.
Sheriff Ralphs has returned from Ell

Sunday investigating the attempt 10

that the deed was committed by a
twelve-year-old boy living near De-
wore, where the attempted wrecking
of the train occurred. Only for the
quickness of the engineer in bringing
the train to a stop the cars would have
been piled in a heap, as a tie hao
been placed on a sharp curve.
The sheriff's suspicious against the
boy We're aroused by the fact that the
tie had been dragged a considerable
distance, and the officer reasoned that
if it had been handled by a man 1t
would not have been dragged. The
child admitted the deed, explaining
that he wanted some excitement. His
father promised to have him commit
ted to the reform school.

20 Drill With Bayonet and Sabre.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IL
Special instructions are to be given
hereafter in the use of the sabre,
new type of which was recently adopt
ed for the army and is about to be
issued to the cavalry. A special COM
mittee of the general staff has been
hard at work on the new regulations,
the carrying out of which is consider
ed of importance to the end that there
may be a complete control of the
body, a development of skill and
stimulation of the mental faculties,
which, the experts say, are the result
of the new exercises of the weapon.
The use of the sabre in practice, to
which all officers and enlisted men of
the cavalry arm will be required To
conform, is expected to promote cool
ness, presence of mind, courage con-
fidence and quick decision in moments
of danger There are also being pre-
pared some new regulations relating
to the use of the bayonet. President
Roosevelt believes that there should
be ample practice in both sabre and
| bayonet manipulation, not only with a
view of familiarizing officers and men
with the use of those weapons in COM
bat, but in order to give them readi-
ness and precision of movement. gen.

very near future.
A railroad line from ocean to ocean

agements. The advantage of the one
through line is SO obvious that it is
unreasonable to suppose that the Har-
riman system will for more than a
brief period enjoy the distinction Of
having the only line from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Such a consolidation
will admit of an enormous saving In
nearly all branches Of the service, ex-
cept perhaps in certain parts Of the
operating department, where fuel, oil
and similar items will show no saving,
no matter how far-reaching the con-
solidation movement may be.
Such consultations, followed to
their logical results, should in time
show great reduction in fares and
freight rates. The enormous profits
which have made possible such gigan-
tic railroad deals as have recently
startled the financial world have all
been wrung from the producers
through rates much higher than were
warranted by the actual cost of the
service. The people of the United
States, and especially those of the
great West, have murmured long over
the excessively high rates that have

oft-repeated excuse that high rates
were necessary in order to admit of
needed improvements and develop
ment work.
The time is now approaching when
the unusual expenditures necessary
for such work will no longer be made +!
and the charge must be based on the |
actual cost of the service performed |
When the railroads are forced to re-
spect such a system for determining
their profits and the people no longer
pay exorbitant prices for the service,
the advantage in favor of the through
transcont6nental lines will be more
APPARENT than ever. The road which
can haul freight from Portland to
New York over its own rails will be
in a better position for handling bust
ness than the road which must divide
I'D the profits with half a dozen other
lines. The "ocean-tO-Ocean" line is
