The fellow moved so rapidly and covered
so much territory that he really seemed

evaoing the officers of the law OF OF giving
them glimpse OF his person.
He was the artful dodger personsified and
in lieu OF better name he was christened

ranging from 800 to $3.50 each. Mr..
Stewart purchased the horses to take

Western senators were vigorously op-

and it was their purpose to oppose this
bill, but it was called up when the sem
ate was virtually empty and went

Klamath Falls-Inf ,rmation received
at klaTath Falls indicates that the
Klamath Lake railroad, connecting
with the Southern Pacific at Thrall and
extending to Pokegama, recently ac-
quired by the Weyerhaeuser Lumber
company, will be practically recon-
structed during the present year, track
laid better to enable the line to COM
mad traffic of the klamath Falls region
for some time, while also better serving
the purposes of it's new owners in the
development of lumber industries.
Four new locomotives have been order
ed, new passenger coach and a num-
Der OF cars are to be purchased, which
is understood to be indicative of the in
uentions with reference to the railroad.
No official information is had as to
the intentions in the way of adding
mileage, but it is known that investiga-
tions made before the acquisition of the
property were with view to determin-
ing the traffic assured by reason of the
government work in constructing the
canal for which Mason, Davis & Co., of
Portland, now have the first contract.
With absolute knowledge of the ton
mage of traffic that was handled during
1905, and it's great increase over the
preceding year, and an additional ton
mage for the next year that will surely
double the commodity traffic of 1908,
to say nothing of the immigration that
will mean great deal of business, the
officials feel more than justi-
fed in large expenditures and will COM
plete their projected work at the ear
lest possible date.

Public Hostility Causes Fear of Re-

Cause Alarm.

Washington, Feb. 10.-It is apparent
that certain railroad interests have be-
come alarmed over the decided anti
railroad agitation that is manifesting
itself in congress and in several states,
and that their friends in the senate
have been appealed to to settle upon
the best rate bill they can get and get
it before the senate for action. 1t is
said tina, the railroad interests at large
have become astounded over the oppo-
sition that has developed to them
throughout the country, and that many
of them realize that graver problems
than the fixing of a disputed rate con-
front them if something is not done to-
allay the spirit of hostility
Some of the magnates believe that if
they can get the members OF the COM
mittee on interstate commerce of the
senate together on bill at once it will
stop the agitation that is each day
growing stronger against what are char
acterzed as "rairoad lobbies'' in vari-
ous states.

excited tear among the friends Of rail

them is about to begin.

Pennsylvania Provides Body of Picked
Men Against Time Of Strike.
Philadelphia, Feb. l3. - When the
great coal strike comes on April the
miners will find themselves confronted
by new kind of foe.
There will be no Pinkertons to Sin
fame the passions OF the workers" "
No militia or private guards OF any
kind will be on duty, nor will the mill
tia be called out. The duty of protect
ing life and properly will be confded
to the state constabulary, an organiza-
tion without parallel in the United
States. The nearest approach to it is
the body of men known as the "Texas
Rangers" famed principally in dime
novels, but the state constabulary has
greater powers than the rangers, and
far more work to do.
At the last session of the leg stature.
authority for the organization of the
force was given out, and now the men
have been selected, drilled and are
ready for work. The superintendent
of the force, which now numbers 24O
men, hut can be over fourfold that
number if the governor decides an
emergency exists, is John G. Groome,
a former militiaman, who saw service
as a commissioned officer during the
Spanish American war.
Superintendent Groome sternly dis
regarded all the pressure that was
brought to bear upon him by politi
clans, and not only did he declare that
not one appointment would be made
to oblige a dealer in patronage, but he
kept his word.
Several thousand men were exam
ined before the quota was filled, and
there are now on the lists fully 500
qualified men, who can be called upon
if an emergency arises.
One requirement was insisted upon:
Every man had to be an American, be-
tween the ages of 81 and 40, and be
good horseman. Although it was not
a requisite that troopers should have
seen military service, yet it was found
that those who had been in the regular
army or the Pennsylvania National
guard best answered the tests, and
all of those chosen have
oeen soldiers, real or "tin.'

Washington, Feb. 13.-As result o
the work of special agents sent to the
Orient to investigate trade regulations
with those countries, valuable object
lesson in the way of packing goods for
export is now furnished by the bureau
of manufactures Of the department of
Commerce and Labor.
Heavy losses have been sustained and
the growth of exports retarded AS the
result of insecure packing on the part
OF American exporters. Numerous
photographs have been received show
ing piles of boxes on the wharves in
China, where the British and German
boxes are secure, while many of those
of American make are smashed and the
goods injured or destroyed. The wood
used for boxes in this country is gen.
orally too light in weight and not prop
erly held together.
One of the English boxes on exhibi-
tion Is made of hard wood, seven
eighths of an inch in thickness, with
double ends, and lined with tin made
to the exact inside measurements OF
the box. Inside this tin lining heavy
wrapping paper is placed, in which are
packed the bundles of different articles
well wrapped and properly marked.
The tin lining is soldered 80 as to be
water tight, while the boxes are held
together by steel bands.
American piece goods reach China in
machine pressed bales bound with
ropes. Other countries use iron bands
with buckles or locks on the ends
The ropes are useless for protection,
and as a result there are large losses on
damaged American bales. Some A mer-

May Delay Repairs to the Oregon.
