Chicago, Nov. 16.-The Record
Herald today says: The railroads OF
the entire country stand ready to
accept the standard of wages set by
the Pennsylvania road and to grant
the employees a ten per cent in
crease in lieu of all other demands.
This would affect nearly 100000
employees and would aggregate be
tween eighty-one and eighty-two
million dollars annually. This the
railroads are ready to grant, provid-
ing the employees accept it and
cease for the time making further
demands for increases in all branches
of the service The magnitude of this
concession to labor is understood
when it is stated that it will amount
to a dividend of nearly one-fourth of
one percent on all the capital stock
of the entire railroad system of the
country and nearly 81 per cent of the
amount of dividends declared and
paid on that stock for the year 1905.

SHOULD GO THROUGH
THE PEcoS VALLEY

1t has been reported in the daily
papers that the Rock Island railroad
has purchased the Mexican Central
and would connect it's line with that
road. At the present time the Rock
Island is running trains into Ell Pa
so over the tracks of the Ell Paso &
Northeastern, but it is undoubtedly
true that it is the intention of that
road to run its own line into EI Paso.
Operating as it now is it's trains run
through a desert country for long
distances and have many steep
grades to climb. Should the Rock Isl.
and build from Torrance to Roswell
and thence to FL Paso, it would elm
mate the bad grades, and pass thro'
the best country in the Territory.
This line would be but about t'genty
or thirty miles longer than the pres
ent route, and this is more than com.
pensated for by the better grades.
Roswell needs the Rock Island, and
the Rock Island needs Roswell.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 16.-Five wit
nesses nave been examined in Sc
cret hearing by Assistant Attorney
General Lightfoot of Texas in taking
epositions relevant to the suit to
oust the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
from doing business in the state of
Texas, and the examination of two
more witnesses today completed the
present hearing. Mr.. Lightfoot will
return to Texas tonight.
1t is learned that the examination
developed from testimony that a
connection existed between the Stan
dard Oil Co and the Waters-Pierce
Co, and that in certain sections of
Texas where the Waters-Pierce Co.
is unusually strong all competing
forces are destroyed by the Stand
ard : Witnesses testified that the
Co. at Beaumont, two refineries own
ed by the Standard, did not sell to
companies competing with the Wa
ters-Pierce CO., and that in return
the latter purchased all oil sold in
the state of Texas from these two
refineries. The testimony also devel-
oped maps showing the division of
the territory covered by the Waters
Pierce Co and the Standard. These
maps were prepared at 26 Broadway,
New York, and distributed over the
territory covered by the two con-
Germs.

sion two white rats. About day
break this morning Harry arose, and
while the girls were getting ready to
cook breakfast, he killed them.
What became of those rats. That's
the question. Inasmuch as Leala ate

tion of the question. (This joke was
contributed. Whether it was the rats
or the girls that were killed seems
to be another question.-Ed)

thousands of residents of the fertile

colder and the water in the upper
part of the White river valley is
slowly receding. The greatest dan

Park suburb of Seattle, near the
mouth of the Duwamisn river. AS
the flood sweeps down the valley to
Puget Sound the water is steadily ris

two thousand people is now at the
mercy of the waters. From Yellow

several persons was swept down the
