The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company announces an in
crease of 10 per cent. in the wages
and salaries of all employees who get
less than 5000 per month, the order
going into effect on the first of the
present month. That is gratifying.
The company also announces a new
schedule of cheaper fares, which also
is gratifying.
Railroad managers are discerning
the fact that their duty is not en-
tirely to themselves and their stock
holders. There are other parties in
interest, the public and the wage
Garner. And they are learning the
fact that fairness to these interests
pays in the end, while at the same
time it disarms the prejudice that has
everywhere existed against railroad

HORSE THIEVES AND THE FAR.
MER.

A farmer living in Delaware heard
a noise out at his stable one night,
and on investigation he found that
his horse and buggy had been stolen.
He had subscribed to the telephone
not long before, after much persua-
sion, and he started in to make use
of it.
First the village c~onstables were
reached, then neighbors and friends
living on all the surrounding roads
We're called up and asked to keep a
watch. Finally the entire country
for miles around was simply enclosed
in a ring of sentinels on every road
The thief was caught about five miles
away.
Out in Indiana they have a Horse
Thief Detective Association covering
the entire state. This organization
has decreased horse thieving rs per
cent. in three years and the officers
say that no agency has been more
helpful in doing this than the teie-
phone.

assert that the telephone is a Protec-
tion in case OF this kind. or any kind
of emergency. The news Of the day

Hatchery's Big Season.

ELGIN, Ore, JAN "A. D. Allen,
superintendent of the Wallowa river
fish hatchery, reports that the season
has been very successful, considering
the difficulties and disadvantages with
which the management has had to
contend. The total number of eggs
secured was 100000. This number
would have been doubled had it not
been for the recent cold weather, which
caused an ice jam to form against
the upper rack compelling the man
agement to remove several sections of
the rack, thereby liberating 1000
salmon. Those liberated were of the
sockeye and silver-side specie, and
few eggs nave been secured from
them. OF the number of eggs Sc
cured 100000 had Matched and those
remaining were in good condition Had
it not been for the forming of the ice
jam the number of eggs secured would
have reached the 100000 mark The
superintendent is we'll pleased with
the hatchery so far.

New Years on the Nile.

In all ages and all lands much i'm
portance has attached to New Years
day. In Egypt the new year fell be-
tween the 18th and the Goth Of June
and was called the might Of the drop"
The sacred Nile was thought to flow
down from heaven, and at its lowest
ebb-about the middle Of June-a tear
from Isis fell into the stream and caus-
ed it to rise Consequently at this sea-
son the priests and people kept a sleep
less vigil at the rivers shore, watching
for the miraculous rise which should
bring such riches to the whole land.
When the might Of the drop" came the
priests cleared the affairs Of old ashes
and lighted the sacred fires for the new
year. Every one Of the faithful car
ried a coal from the altar to light the
fire at his own hearth, and from end
to end the land was ablaze with light.
The people put of their old garments
and arrayed Themselves in white,
amounting their heads with sacred oil,
crowning themselves with flowers and
bearing palms in their hands, while
chants and songs and feasting and pro
cessions filled the homes.

HARNESS PALoUsE FALLS
LEWISTON MEN FILE ON WATER
RIGHTS AND CONTEMPLATE
BIG PROJECT.

A plan is on foot, financed by Lew
iston capital, to utilize Palouse falls
in developing electric power for pump
ing stations along orchard lands of the
Snake river. The plan is to reclaim
thousands of acres of arid orchard
and garden tracts, which, with the ap-
plication of water, will become as
fertile and productive as the soil OF
the richest bottom lands of the east
ern states.
Many Of these tracts are now
watered by gasoline and steam power
pumps and excellent results are OBJ
tanned, but to be able to supply power
at a minimum cost is the question
producers are discussing. By the
utilization of Palouse falls thousands
of acres of low-lying land now In un-
productive state along the Snake
river. between Lewiston and Wallula
can be placed under water at a much
less cost than any present methods in
use.
The intention is to place an cleo
trio power plant at the falls and estab-
lish an electric line, over which power
will be transmitted to numerous pump
ing stations established along the river
r r Thurber Of Lewiston has filed on

lions will permit The estimate as tc
the amount of grade completed was

arrived in the city last night from
Riparia. Mr. Chase said that the re-
ports up to Saturday night showed
81 900 feet completed, and that the
close of the present month would make
the amount practically twenty miles
In estimates of completed work, al
lowance is made only for that ready
for the track, and therefore does not
include partially completed rock cuts,
Of which there is a large amount. The
total length of the -Riparia
line is seventy-one miles, SO that ap-

about one-third completed.
