STIMULUS TO INDUSTRY.

Prise 60 Artisans who Are :,
steady and sober.

The governor OF the state of Mexico
has founded an annual prize Of $500 to
be awarded to the artisan who during
the year has most distinguished him
self for his industry and sobriety and
for the prompt and unvarying attend
ance at his daily tasks, especially on the
mornings following Sundays and gen.
orally observed feast days. The initia-
tive Of Gov. villads. says the Mexican
Herald. will have good effect in stim-
ulatlng useful emulation among the
working class of the state Of Mexico.
which has always been to the fore. es-
pecially during the regime Of the pres
ent governor. in Industrial and educa-
tional progress.
Not long ago the press noticed with
merited commendation the establish
ment, under Gen. Villada's auspices, OF
a place OF innocent recreation for the
working class at Toluca. This is prac-
tical philanthropy. The working class
where 1t sees that an intelligent inter-
est is being taken in its welfare, will
demonstrate its appreciation by closer
attention to work. The example Of the
public-spirited executive Of the state OF
Mexico Is worthy Of im1tAtion.

SCIENTIFIC RAILROAD WRECKS.
Exchange.

Exchange.
The German government has taken
possession of small tract of land
near Berlin and is planning to exc
cute unique series of railroad aoci-
dents made to order. Every variety
of misplaced sw itches will be tested,
every possible defects in wheels, axles
and car equipment will be tried out
and the grand final is to be an i'm
mense headon collision of locomo
tives. These spectacular exhibitions
are not planned by the government as
national amusement. They are for
the purpose of scientific experiment SO
that the engineers and railway exprets
may study ways aud means to prevent
accidents of all kinds in the future.
Railroad disastres have occurred
with alarming frequency in the Ger
man empire. 1t is estimated that
the German railways lose $1,260, 900
annually through damages. After the
causes and effects Of each variety of
wrecks have been noted it will be the
task of the government officials to de-
wise safeguards. While it will of
course be impossible to render railroad
travel absolutely safe, there seems to
be no question of the wisdom of such
a proceeding. The results are certain
to be beneficial and practical step
will have been taken which will un
doubtedly lead to further research
along this line. The practical results
will not occur to Germany alone as all
Europe and America may profit.
In the United States the Interstate
Commerce Commission by constantly
urging the universal installation of
the block system is forwarding good
work. But even the block system
cannot preveut acci dents. Collisions
can be rendered practically impos-
sible, but no system ever devised can
prevent disasterous results when u
sleepy employe places an improper
signal at an open switch, or when a
sleepy engineer fails to note the right
signal.

M. Marceliin Pellet, French writer
who has recently returned from Guate-
mala. describes curious species 6i
fish. the Pacilia dorri, which he found In
the boiling lake Of Amatitlan. II pass
es Its days literally "in continual hot
water" So hot is the water of this lake
that 1t Is said to thrust ones hand in
1t means scalded fingers. Ebuilition is
however, somewhat tempered, says the
New York Herald. as the really boiling
water rises to the surface, leaving q
temperature Of 35 degrees centigrade al
the level, where the fish are found, which
Is even then sufficiently warm for cold
blooded creatures like fish.
Frank Buckland states In one OF his
works that the naturalist Brossonnei
found by experiments that some fresh
water fsh would live several days In
water so hot that a human being could
not keep his hand in 1t for minute.

covered living eels in the hot springs Of
AK, the temperature of which averages
113 degrees Fahrenheit. Humboldt also
saw living fish thrown up In q volcano

In demanding of the railroads that
they resume the observance Of the law
of 1885. Governor Chamberlain has
taken step of vast importance to the
people of the state. For years Oregon
has suffered from the lack Of ade-
quate transportation facilities. The
progress of the state has been retarded
and its people have groanded under
burdensome and excessive charges.
Year after year there has been
shortage of cars and the evil has
grown worse with each succeeding
year. Vast areas of the state have
been undeveloped because the rail-
roads refused to build branch lines to
meet the needs of growing population
and traffic.
Experience has shown that it is
hopeless to expect voluntary relief
from the railroads. The people must
help themselves. And the first step
toward self help is to ascertain just
what the railroads are doing in Ore
gon, their cravings, their expenses,
their profits, their rates and all the
other details enumerated in the law of
1Q2R When this inflammation ia oh
tanned the people will be in position

ATHENA, ORE, SEPT .......4 1906

Evidence in the rapid increase in
the use of concrete in engineering and
architectural work is to be found in
the great demand for, and increasing
value of crushed rock. There was
time, and not very long ago, when
the hand hammer or the portable
crushing machine of moderate capa-
city were equal to supply the demand /;
but of late yeasr the call for this
material has been SO extensive as to
warrant the construction of large
plants equipped with machinery of
special design aud large power, cap
able of turning out several hundred
tons of crushed rock per hour from
ecah machine. In fact, it is likely
that the porduction of crushed rock
will become specialized industry,
with plants located conveniently to
suitable quarries, and within recah
of all rail or water transportation.

THE LARGEST BRIcKFIELD.


Peterborough, England, makes
enough bricks in the course of year
to put girdle four times around the
earth, says to Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t is estimated that the busy
brickmaking yards. which have grown
up In great number round the ancient
city in the last 20 years, turn out 800,
100000 bricks annually. AS the
length Of brick is about eight inches,
then, II Peterborough's annual output
were laid out in single line, IL would
stretch over 100000 miles.
The brick INDUSTRY has revolution
lied the trade of Peterborough. Such
is the wealth of clay and the profit
to be drawn from 1t, that one part OF
the brickmaking district has been
fifty named 'Klondike.' 1t lies in
beds of enormous area and depth, and
some of the experts say they could go
on taking out the easily accessible
clay for the next century without tax.

ply of the material is to come from.

IDLE ExcUsRs.
Portland Journal.

Railroad officials intimate that
they may not comply with Governor
Chamberlain's demand for au 1nual
report of the business of the roads
operating In this state. Various OBJ
jectious are put forth, particularly
the argument that the law of 1885 is
too vague in its requirement and
that it would be impossibel for the
railroads to know just what sort of Il
report they are to make.
10 all such objections it seems
enough to reply that for more than a
dozen years the railroads in Oregon
did comply with the law and did file
annual reports of their business. Not
until 1898, when the railroad COM
missioner was abolished, did the rail
roads discontinue these reports. If
they could comply with the law ten
years ago it is idle to pretend that
they cannot do so now.

+ THE CITY OF THE DEAD.

They do neither plight nor wed
In the city OF the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the
hours;
But they lie, while DER them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And hundred happy whisperings OF
flowers.
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In that burgh OF by and by,
Where the streets have grasses growing
cool and long:
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob OF
song.
Though the robin be awning,
Though the leaves OF autumn march mil
lion strong.
There is only rest and peace
In the City of Surcease
From the failings and the wailings meath
the sun,
And the wings of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the biers,
Making music to the sleepers every one.
There f. only peace and rest;
But to them 1t seemeth best.
For they lie at ease and know that life Il

There is essentially no difference
between the Pennsylvania railroad
chief clerk who gathered in thousands
of dollars from coal companies as a
tip or price for steering the railroad
company's orders in their direction
aud the coachman who pockets an
occasional dollar in placing of orders
for oats or the steward who profits In
buying meats and other table require
ments. And no better than this chiet
clerk are those high Pennsylvania
officials who accepted gifts of stock in
various companies and then favored
them in the distribution of cars. They
are all of the purchasable class,
which is hardly more contemplate in
the dollar tip grade than the $1,000
tip grade.
