English Railroads

C"OU may take it for granted that when
N this year ends it will be found that
about HOO persons have been killed
fEgMlI and $500 injured by rolling stock ON
the railways of the United Kingdom.
Last year the numbers of killed and injured were
il0o and o46O respectively; in 1904 1913 were
killed and $3.50 injured
Again, take the cases of accidents ON RAILWAY
premises which were in no way connected with
vehicles used exclusively upon railways. In 1905
3S railway servants were killed and 1O,531 in.
lured by such accidents, while in 1904 the mum.
bers of servants killed and injured were 80 and
10,640 respectively!
Ii is the same with street, factory and build
ing accidents, shipwrecks, ships missing, even
murders and suicides. 1t is possible to predict
almost the precise number of such occurrences
which will take place during twelvemonth

evils of the great metropolitan city This was
successful in every particular, a large number
of persons Of influence allowed themselves to be
come interested in the work of improving the lot
of these miserable persons, who are compelled to
toll sometimes as long as twenty hours per day
and seven days week in order that they should
be merely allowed to exist. 1t was shown that
clothing sewers received a sum of money about
equal to ten cents for making pair of trousers
and eleven twelve cents for making a boys
coat or waistcoat. In this manner an able-bod-
led workman by the greatest industry for six
days a week could earn about dollar and a
quarter. The laborer's profit for making boy
sailor suit is about thirty cents, and by working
fourteen hours every day for six days, the labor
er can make as much as eight shllings week.
This is about one dollar and ninety cents.
The sweatshop conditions all over the world
are probably worse in the clothing trade than
any other but it was brought out at the
sweatshop Exposition that there a num-
ber of other trades which are equally as bad.
Among those who have become Interested in
the movement to improve the condition of these
workers is the Princess of Wales. The distin-
guished ladys attention was particularly taken
with a poor woman engaged in making paper
bags. BY incessant toll this person was enabled
TO make two thousand of these bags in the course
of a day of seventeen hours, for which she was
paid the munifcent sum OF twenty cents.

A snaII,s Pace

A snails rate of travel was aseertained by ex.
periments in Florence Half dozen snas were
permitted to crawl between two points ten feet
apart Exact time was kept from the Start TO the
finish, and thus the average pace was learned.
The figures were then put into tables of feet,
yards, and furlongs, and il was found that it
would take a snail exactly fourteen days to travel
a mile.

COMPULSORY STAMPING Of ALL BUTTER

a number of the rrocers of Walla
Walla, says the Bulletin. have taken
mp the proposition of presenting a law
TO the next session OF the legislature,
which meets in January, to provide
for the stamping OF every roll of but
ter with the name of the manufac-
iturer.
This method is followed by practi-
cally all of the creameries. which
either stamp their butter or the wrap
pers, BY this plan the retailers are
able to account for any short weights
which may occur, and the consumer
is provided with a way of knowing
whose butter he is eating.
In the majority of instances, with
regard to country butter, there is no
way Of for the consumer to determ-
Inc where the fault lies for short
weights or for any impurities which
may be found in this commodity. It
is Just as much of an offense for the
farmer or dairyman to sell butter
which is not up to the standard in
weight or purity as It is for the dealer
and a law of this character would be
a benefit to all parties concerned.

in letter made public today to Con-
gresham Watson of Indiana, who is
about to enter the campaign as
speaker for the congressional COM
mittee, says he would not take part
II only party issues were at stake,
but he feels that all good citizens
should appreciate what was done by
the present congress, and the necessi-
ty Of keeping the present body as or
ranized, in power. He says to change
the leadership OF congress at the pres
ent time will be to bring disaster to
the efforts of those who are working
out social. Industrial and economic
problems of vital interest.
He says no congress ever accepted
80 many burdens In SO many differ
ent fields as at present The measures
proposed are not OF mere party inter-
est, but conserve the interests of the
whole people. This Is not partisan
campaign.

IN THE wENAHA RESERVE.

More Should Be Allowed.


NJ. M. wyrick has returned from
the mountains, where he has 4cO head
of cattle grazing in the we-aha re-
serve. Mr.. Wyrick states that the tops
of the higher hills and the tops of
the mountains have been grazed quite
bare, but that there is still good grass
to be found In abundance in the can
yons, but which is not easy of access,
although it is by no means inaccessi-
BILE. All stock-sheep, cattle and
horses-in the reserve are in first
class condition: not only fat, but in
the best of health. The browse this
year is fine, the growth being abund-
ant. I
The loss by wild animals this year
is less than during any preceding sea-
son, due, Mr.. Wyrick thinks, simply
to the fact that the bears, cougars
and wolves are being killed off and
becoming scarcer.
Mr.. Wyrick states as his opinion
that the reserve is stocked to its rea-
sonable limit now-that the appor-
tionment of any greater number of
animals than are found therein this
season would overstock the feed re-
serve just that much.

Bryan is a constructive statesman

pended upon to accomplish, in the
course of events, in an orderly and
philosophical way, what Roosevelt
can best only make an abortive at
tempt at doing. 1t should be recalled
that legislation favored by Roosevelt
in the direction of the suppression

enacted by the help Of democratic

those democratic votes Roosevelt and

nothing but drift that had lodged on
the edge of the current of events"

Manchuria is Believed to BE Ashore
on a Reef Near Honolulu.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-The Paci-
fic Mail Steamship company has re-
a report that the steamship
Manchuria is ashore on reef near
Honolulu. The report is not verified
1t is known, however the vessel is two
days overdue at Honolulu and it is
feared the report is true
Later.-It is learned the Manchuria
is ashore an a coral reef 900 yards
off shore at the Island of Oahu, Oh
which Honolulu is situated. She is
two miles north of the south end of
the island. When the Manchurla
struck she was four miles out of her
course. According to the latest cable
the vessel would probably be floated
ut high tide tomorrow. The passen-
gers are not in any danger. The Man.
churia sailed from San Francisco last
Tuesday for Honolulu and the orient
with a full list of passengers and a
heavy cargo. The officers say in ex-
planation that Robert island was mis-.
taken for the Island of Oahu.

ROBBERS ENTER
ATHENA DEPOT
AT AN UNKNOWN HOUR
LAST NIGHT.
to Be Work of Experts, But
They Secured Nothing of Value
Burglary Discovered by the Agent
This Morning-Tle Safe Was Com
pletely Observation-Disclosures the Slight
est Trace of Who. the Perpetrators
Were-All Well Planned.

Athena, Aug. 2o,-(Special. AT
some unknown hour last night the
safe in the o. r. & n. ticket office lin
this place was blown, apparently by
experts working with an amateur out
fit. Although the safe was complete
ly demolished, the burglars secured
nothing more valuable than small
iron cash box containing some old
keys and a few other (to them) en-
tirely valueless articles.
The burglary was not discovered
until the agent, Mr.. Dobie, went to
work at the usual time this morning,
as the depot is a considerable distance
from town or from any habitation.
The burglars left behind them a
screw driver and monkey
wrench with which the handle and
the disc had been taken off the safe
door Nitpo-glycerine had been pour
ed into the orifice thus formed, and
then exploded. The safe door was
blown completely across the room.
and the safe was completely stripped
of its interior equipment or drawers
and casing. The safe was also badly
sprung besides losing the door, and is
undoubtedly damaged beyond any pos
sibility of repair. The cash box, 1t Is
presumed, was not broken by the ex-
plosion, or it would not have been
taken away, as it contained nothing
but old keys and a fe wother value
less articles. 1t disappeared, doubt
less with the burglars, of whom there
is not known the slightest trace.
Agent Dobie on Saturday night had
followed his usual custom of banking
all the receipts of the office, and
there was no money in the building
except $3.50, which was in the cash
drawer Of the till at the ticket office
window, and which was entirely over
looked. The remainder of the re-
ceipts Of Sunday Mr. Dobie had with
him.
There are indications that the Job
was done with neatness and dispatch,
by persons who understood the busl-
ness, but operated with inferior ap.
pliances.

such law would not only keep up
'he standard of weights, but would
also have tendency to raise the stan.
dard Of excellency. If every farmer
who puts butter on the market were
obliged to stamp his name upon the
same, 1t is more than probable the
an effort would be put forth to estab-
lish reputation for good butter max
ing.
The state of Idaho has such a law
and the producers, dealers and con-
sumsrs claim that it has accomplish
ed much toward the betterment Of
conditions in the dairy business. The
subject of the enactment of a similar
law in Washington will be taken up
at the next meeting of the Retail Gro
GERS association and it Is more than
probable that the legislature will be
called upon to take action.

1t was pronounced when the cases
in the police court were lost that the
next cases would be tried in the pro-

WHEAT MARKET DULL.
Awaiting the Opening of the New Crop


The tone of the wheat market is
quiet, awaiting the opening of the
new crop season upon representative
scale to get down to a settled and
active basis. Farmers seem too busily
engaged in the harvest fields to attend
to anything else, and in most sections
the interior warehouses have not
opened for business, yet alone starting
the tidcwater.
Very few cars of this years wheat
have arrived in Tacoma and Portland
as yet and business is not expected to
be heavy until the first of September.
During September 1t will be lively.
Exporters are awaiting developments
in the situation, and growers who
have secured the whole or portion OF
their crop are likewise inclined to
postpone sales owing to the present
position OF value, compared with pre-
vious seasons.
