Hartman Lines to Become Floral
Routes.

Executive officers of the Union Pa
cific road in Chicago are planning to
build several large greenhouses along
the main lines of this company In
Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and other
districts, with the object OF having
at every table in every dining car
over the entire system a bouquet OF
freshly cut flowers at every meal. In
addition to table and other decora-
tons it is planned to grow flowers
on a scale sufficiently large to allow
a free distribution Of roses to women
and carnations, or other seasonable
flower, not only in dining cars but
to passengers in every car OF every
train, and in winter as well as In
summer, the idea being to make
patrons feel that the flowers are .
part of the trip over this road ana
not precious little souvenirs. The
greenhouses will probably be located
at Grand Island, Neb., cheyenne.
Wyo., Denver, Col, and Ogden, Utah.
In California and in the territory OF
the Sunset route in the south the
company has no trouble in getting
outdoor flowers all year. But even In
these districts the scheme Of flowers
for passengers and car decorations Is
to be enlarged upon. Dining rooms
along all lines are to be supplied free
" with plants and blooms. The Cali
fornia aad southern resources with
the greenhouses to be built along the
central route will put the Union.
Southern Pacific and Oregon Short
Lines in a position where they may
become known as the floral lines, an
appellation officers Of the Hartman
lines hope to merit

A5oR's CONTRIBUTION.

Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, has
made a suggestion in regard to the
raising of a fund for the ruined labor
ing men of San Francisco, that seems
eminently practical. In circular let
ter issued from his Washington head
quarters and addressed to unions
throughout the country, Mr.. Gompers
proposes that every member of every
Union contribute one days wages for
the benefit of the suffers. In his letter
he Says:
THE expression of our sympathy
must take practical form. While the
immediate needs to barely sustain life
may have been supplied, yet in the
days and weeks and months to come
untold suffering and privation viii be
endured unless the means are at
hand to obviate and avoid them. Even
under the most favorable circum-
stances, life in stricken San Francisco
and vicinity will be most difficult to
endure for some time to come.
ITO assuage and alleviate to the full
est the loss and suffering of our broth
ties. and to help them in their effort to
rehabilitate themselves. their children,
and other dependents, the union mem
bers the country over must help gener-
ously and promptly"
1t is suggested that the money be
sent to the secretaries of the local
unions and by them forwarded to the
HEADQUARTERS of their respective in
ternational headquarters. the latter to
transmit the funds direct to authorized
officers Of the San Francisco unions.
San Francisco has become known as a
strongly pro-union city. There are
thousands of union labor men there,
and it is safe to say that more than
ninety per cent Of them are in imme-
date need. One of the boasts of labor
unions is that they take care of their
own members. Here is a splendid OPP
pcrtunity for them to show what they
can do.
If every member of every labor
union in the United States contributes
one days wages to the fund several
millions of dollars will be raised with
out the slightest difficulty. And no
great hardship will be worked on the
contributors, other than the making of
some self-sacrifices. It is greatly to be
hoped that Mr.. Gompers' appeal will
be needed. Nothing would be more
calculated to give the general public a
lastingly good impression of labor
unions than to see them preventing
their san Francisco brothers from suf-
fering.

and over again, the city rose from it's
ashes in a phenomenally short space Of
time.
The purpose of aiding San Francisco
by removing temporarily for it's bene-
fit the tariff on building materials is
not primarily to secure cheaper stuff.
That is a devoutly desired consumma-
ton, but it is not the thought of those
behind the measure. The principal
object is to secure materials quickly.
All the lumber mills in the United
States, clogged as they are with orders
from regular customers, cannot, by
working day and night, carry San
Francisco along with their other
burdens. The same is true of the
structural steel mills and the factories
where other stuff used in buildings is
made.
San Francisco isn't after cheap sup
plies. 1t is after supplies. The cost is
really a minor consideration. Speed is
the great desideratum. Congress
should promptly pass the bill and give
the relief desired.

MELLMAN AND TIE POLE.

Walter Wellman has sailed from
New York for Paris to superintend the
construction of the big airship in
which he hopes shortly to make a dash
for the pole. Mr.. WelIman believes
sincerely that he is going to win; that
he is going to succeed in a venture
that has cost so many lives and so
much hardship. On paper it looks as
If his dreams may be realized The
only question is as to the possibility of
constructing an airship that will carry
him over the ice to the pole and back
again.
Mr.. WeIlman is not novice at polar
exploration. He knows a great deal
about northern conditions. he has
studied the winds and the tempera-
lures. Skeptics, remembering the fate
of Andre, have said that Mr.. Wellman
is undertaking the impossible. But the
balloon of Andre and the airship of
Wellman are entirely different vehi-
cles. Andres balloon was not of the
dirigibIe type. With it, aided by favor
able winds, he might have reached the
pole. If he did reach it he died miser-
81
back.
No such difficulty confronts Well
man. He believes that with his airship
he will be able to sail to the pole and
back again as surely as any navigator
ever traversed the sea. If the pole is
ever reached it will be by his airship
method. No ship of sufficient strength
in physical construction or power in
engines to break through the ice has
been constructed. Methods of travers-
ing the ice have all been found to be
laborious, uncertain and most perilous
In every instance either the supplies
have become exhausted, the dogs have
played out or the explorers have be-
come i'll from starvation and exposure,
too i'll to proceed further. No such
contingencies are figured into the Well
man plans for the very good reason
that his method is entirely different.
Where other explorers have taken
months in travelling from their most
nOrtherly supply of food towards the
pole he will require only hours. or. at
most. days. If he is as successful as
he thinks he will be, as all of us. now
that he has started, hope he will be,
he will not be away from civilization
more than three or four days
For our own part we have never
cared a great deal whether the north
pole was ever found. 1t has never
! seemed to us that it's discovery would
add anything to the worlds store of
health, wealth or good cheer. How
ever, 1t looks as if Mr.. NeIlman can
not be happy until he finds it, and we
want him to be happy. Also, it would
be a great thing for an American to
discover the pole for, to a certain ex-
tent, the success would reflect luster
upon all of us.

MO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Some extreme standpatters are re-
ported as being seriously disturbed
over the proposition to admit free of
duty all structural steel and other
building materials destined for San
proposition itself. but they profess to
fear that the foolish people who would
like to see the tariff generally revised
will take advantage of this opportunity
to open the whole question. They fear.
too, that to let down the bars and
admit building materials free to San
Francisco might result in serious harm
to the entire tariff system, and to the
protected interests at large.
Few people will find any occasion for
alarm. In the first place nobody will
take advantage of San Francisco's
needs and force into a measure for the
relief of the ruined city any amend
ments or other matter calculated to
jeopardize the passage of the act. Such
amendments may be offered, true but
they will be inspired, not by friends of
tariff revision but by its enemies, in
the hope of killing the bill. Second,
there is at least one precedent for
favorable action in this case
The first congress that met after the
Chicago fire OF October 8. 1870, passed
an act under which building materials
and supplies intended for use in re-
building Chicago were admitted to this
country free of duty. 1t is not re-
corded that the act caused any great
PARALYSIS of American industry any
tremendous upheaval of any sort. IT
is recorded that the free admission of
building materials for Chicago was an
important factor in rebuilding that
city. AS we have all been told over
