BUILDS A BoNDLESS RAILROAD
ing Contrast TO Prevailing
High Finance.


ST. Louis capitalists have assisted United
States Senator W. A. Clark Of Montana TO
accomplish the seemingly impossible in
railroad finance. Senator Clark completed
the San Pedro road at a cost Of $4,000, 900
without selling bond. and he proposes
that none Of the companys securities shall
be offered for sale in less than two years.
In view OF the sensational developments
in the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton tran
sactions. giving intimation as TO railroad
high finance, financiers look with interest
upon the fact that a member of the United
States senate has furnished an example of
more conservative methods in organizing
and managing railroad properties. The ag-
gregate of $4,000 200 which has been applied
to building and equipping the San Pedro,
Los Angeles & Salt Lake road has come
from the members Of Senator Clark's syn
dictate.
st. Louis f1nanciers have invested about
5000, 900 in the enterprise. They say that
1t has not been easy to conform with SEN
ator Clark's policy. which required them to
meet his calls for funds promptly and in
legal tender. The senator gave notice in
advance of the amounts which would be
needed at specified dates for certain work
and when the assessments were duly an
nounced, he expected and got ready re-
sponses. Senator Clark's own income is
estimated at $2,o0O00o to $1,000, 900 a month,
and, of course, be met the financial de-
mands just as his associates did.
The railroad which was built without the
sale Of bonds-the bondless railroad-runs

Pedro, Cal, near Los Angeles. 1t was put
in service Christmas week when the first

Angeles. 1t has trackage arrangements
with the Chicago d Northwestern and the
Union Pacific for regular through service
between Chicago and Los Angeles.
Work is at present progressing on a
branch from Las Vegas to Bullfrog Mine,
New. This line will cost s., 10000, and It
will be finished without the sale Of bonds.
In all probability the branch will be ex-
tended from Bullfrog to Tonopah without
the sale of bonds. The total cost Of the
branch from Las Vegas to Tonopah will be
about 100000.
The San Pedro line penetrates a rich min
eral country. and II is a favorite project OF
the senator's because his wealth is derived
from minerals. The enterprise was the out
come of one which had been originated by
Richard c. Kerens OF ST. Louis. Mr.. Keren:
and St. Louis syndicate acquired Termi-
nal island, at the port of San Pedro, and
built about fifty miles Of track.
When Senator Clark acquired the property
in order TO build the present San Pedro
line most Of the members Of the st. Louis
syndicate withdrew their investments,
amounting to 100000 But Mr.. Kerens in
creased his interest in the senator's project
and induced other St Louis capitalists to
invest The ST. Louis members Of Senator

doctrine They both believed the districts
with only a few pupils should be eonsoli-
dated, and II necessary there should be
furnished conveyances to get the children
to the schoolhouses.
During the year 1904 $4,000 boys and girls
were enrolled in the public schools, and to
teach them required the employment OF
900 teachers, including 3,Z5O in the graded
schools.
The rapid disappearance Of the sod
schoolhouse, which was built by the hardy
pioneer, but which cannot fill the present
day needs, marks the progress OF educa-
ton in Nebraska Fifteen years ago 800

years none will be left. with the passing
Of the sod schoolhouse the male school

the number Of male teachers has decreased
80 per cent while the salary paid has in
creased 90 rer cent.
During the year 1905 the various schoo'
districts Of the state paid 10 male teachers

Change within Reach.
1T win not do 70 dismiss this constitu-
uonal amendment project ss necessarily
ont Of the reach OF success. All Il requires
aside from good management Of prelirni-
naries, is a majority vote eventually In the
legislatures Of thirty-four states. The ques-
ton would be sent 70 the legislatures, which
would have 10 say yes" or mo: this
makes acceptance an easier process than
though the burden Of initiation and secur-
ing attention fell upon the proponents Of
the change. Where will the thirty-four
legislatures TO vote affirmatively on this
question come from? The entire south be-
ueves in the direct election OF senators, and
is practising that system today. The demo
cratic party favors II; there would not be a
score Of democratic votes against It In all
the legislatures Of the country If past ex-
perience counts. The house of representa-
tives has repeatedly approved the project
by overwhelming majorities. A republican
house not many years ago showed only
twelve votes against II.
I'm addition to the democrats there would
be all the radical republicans Of the I.AFol-
lette-Cummins stripe throughout the coun-
try. This would include the republicans
who were dissatisfied with what the senate
had done IN reference to President Roose-
velts legislative program. The greater their
disappointment the greater would be the
strength OF this issue. II is possible that
the conservative interests Of the country,
realizing what they owe 10 the conser-
vatism Of a senate chosen by state legisla-
lures, would rally in such an emergency
and make an effective educational cam
paign TO defeat the amendment This could
doubtless be done in more than eleven
legislatures, II the conservative forces are
willing to work hard enough, and would
subscribe literally to the cause. But If
the subject came up for decision IN the
present state Of the public mind. there
would be large chance Of the adoption Of
the amendment through the convention
process.
These are straws which show how the
wind Of 'radicalisn,' Of reform or what
may be more accurately stated as anti
capitalistic feeling is blowing"

Lest any sufferer doubt that the cures made by Doan's Kidney Pills are thorough and lasting, we produce confirmed proof-statements from Pine Bluff people saying that the cures they told of years ago were permanent. Here's a Pine Bluff case:
 R. D. McGaughy of 702 West Third avenue, Pine Bluff, says: Tt is over three years since I first publicly rec commended Doan's Kidney Pills in our local papers. I had been suffer- ing from an intense pain in the small of my back, which annoyed me for over two years, and the use of Doan's Kidney Pills not only cured this, but corrected the action of the Kidney se- cretions, which had been irregular at times. I procured this remedy at Mann-Tankersley Drug company's $ store, and the cure brought about by their use has been permanent. have recomme your remedy many times during the past three years, and know that it brings about satls- factory results in every case.

is erroneous, just as is the idea that the only good Indian Is dead Indian The annual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs, Francis E. Leupp, gives some facts that show what many of the Indians are accomplishing as farmers or work CTS in other branches of labor. Among the most industrious of the red men Of the west are the Crow Indians of Mon- tana, whose agricultural fair has now become regular annual institution. The Crows are not now drawing ra- tions from the government and have not been for two years. A good part of them seem really to believe that people ought to work for what they enjoy of the good things of life. The progress they have made is in part due to the intelligence displayed by the govern mental agents having to do with them. The latter have proceeded on the theo ry that the best place to train an In dian to habits of industry and produc tlveness Is at his own home and on his own land. The fair the Crows held the past autumn is pretty good proof of the wisdom of this plan. It was al together an Indian enterprise. Each Crow brought his own exhibit, and there was as much interest In the com petition between growers of tall corn and big vegetables, fat pigs and gool breeds of stock, as was ever shown in hunt or war dance.
 Chief Plenty Coos competed for the prize for the best driving team, but was beaten by team owned and driy- en by sauaw, which created much
