nEPARTURE OF Mr.. DUNN.

Hiram Ellsworth Dunn, than who
it has never been our pleasure to know
a better all around man, has severed
his connection with the Oregon Short
Line railway as travelling passenger
agent and has gone to Payette to take
up the duties of vice president and
general manager of the Payette Valley
line. Mr.. Dunn's departure from Salt
Lake City, where he is so we'll and so
favorabIy known, will be regarded as
distinct loss by all of his acquaint-
ances. From end to end of the Siiort
Line system, Mr.. Dunn has hundreds
of warm friends, friends he has made
for his road as we'll as for himself.
The Payette Valley, of which he is
now executive head, is not so big as
the Short Line, the Union Pacific, the
Salt Lake route or some other roads
that might be mentioned. But time
was when the Short Line only extend
ed from Salt Lake to ogden, when the
San Pedro only ran from Los An
geles to San Pedro harbOr. when the
Union Pacific began at Omaha and
ended a few miles west of that city.
Great railroads are not buiided in a
day. The Payette Valley, if it grows
and develops as Mr.. Dunn's friends
hope and believe it will. may become
one of the big systems of the west
With the Short Line as a feeder to
start with. and with one or two other
roads that are now in process of in
vading Idaho as additional feeders,
the Payette Valley cannot fail to be
prosperous from the outset. And, I'M
less there is a law in Idaho to pre-
vent the consolidation of parallel and
competing lines the Payette Valley
will surely in time absorb all of its
competitors. Meanwhile we wish Mr..
Dunn the largest possible measure of
prosperity. Idaho is to be cOngratu-
lated on securing him as a citizen, for
he will do his full part toward the
upbuilding of the state.

THE RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS.

The great rush of immigrants from
Europe to the United States continues
undated. The state of New York
keeps a record of alien arrivals at the
port Of New York and the figures for
the last quarter of 1905 have just been
issued by the bureau at Albany They
show that the record breaking total
for the last quarter Of 1904 was beaten
in 1905 by 5000 From October 1 to
December 81. 1905, 1914, $40 immigrants
entered the United States through
New York. The greatest increase was
in the number of Italians
There were 10000 immigrants over
"a years of age and more than one
fourth of them could not write or
read i'm their own language or any
other. The report says this fact is
not altogether reassuring." and the
general public viii agree with it,
There could be no stronger emphasis
of the desirability of an educational
test for intending citizens It is not
possible to believe that persons who
have not had ambition enough to
learn to read and write in their own
language will learn to read and write
in tongue unknown to them.
Now a man may be a good citizen
without being able to read or write.
but the odds are decidedly against that
result. How is it possible for one
who does not understand the language
to become familiar with the laws. the
customs. the form of government of
the country? They cannot become de-
sirable citizens in the most ordinary
acceptation of the expression. Yet
they will. i'm time, be naturalized. they
will vote and they may, in close cleo
tiOns. select our public officials
our immigration laws need strength

lation at present. but in justice to
Americans who have made the coun-

emphatically do not need the offscour-
ings, the riffraff, the vermin of Europe.

providing it were successful, would be
the installation of a president who
would be absolutely subservient to the
trust, who would give the trust any
thing and everything it desired.
The nations interested should take
steps at once TO ascertain whether or
not there is any truth i'm the story,
and if there is to put a stop to it. 1t
surely cannot be possible for three
large steamships, carrying an army of
men and an abundance of war sup
plies, to sail from any port without
the cognizance of the authorities.

nUR BIG LIGHT BILL.

According to President Marks of the
Illuminating Engineer society the peo-
pie of the United States spend 5000, 900
OOO a year for lights. OF this amount
at least 10 per cent, or 100000, 600, is
lost. The Electrical World, comment
ing on Mr.. Marks statement. says:
THE figures that Mr.. Marks gave as
to the national bill for light and of the
waste involved must be startling to
many people, and in themselves. if at
all true, constitute a platform. It will
be noted from our abstract Of his adj
mirable address that Mr.. Marks places
the annual American expenditure on
light at not less than 5000, 000, 0OO of
which electric light amounts to $780,
OO0. 900. coal and water gas, $50, 900, 600;
natural gas, LOO, 900; acetylene, 81
100000, and oil. s6O,OOO,OOO. The figure
for electric light may seem dispropor-
tionately high, but the facts approve
it.
But the great point is the one made
by Mr.. Marks. namely, that on this
lighting bill of 5000. 1000, 900 upward the
waste and loss in bad illumination is
at least $40, OGO, 600. To reclaim that is.
briefly, the mission of the new society:
and 1T is a noble object. by no means
so utilitarian as it sounds. Every
new illuminant has q measure of civ
ilization in itself; every refinement Of
lighting has a social reform; every
closer adjustment of conditions that
help the eye makes infinitely for the
welfare and comfort Of us ALL
1t is greatly to be hoped that the
society will accomplish it's purpose.
The monthly light bill is a serious
drain on the purse Of most house
keepers. If those bills can be cut
down 10 per cent without impairing
the service a great work will be done.
1t is barely possible that the meter
question might be looked into a little
with profit. AS everybody knows.
whether the lights are good or bad
the meter keeps right on working.
There should be invented a meter that
wouldn't work so hard when the lights
are dim.
