in the subject by attempts to reduce
two parallel and competing railroads
to one in practice.
He might say something about the
wastefulness of sending ships around
the Horn when so much time and coal
would be saved by sending them
through a channel cut across the 18TH
mus of Panama, but this does not ap-
pear to interest him affirmatively. He
might add something about the waste
fitness of letting the cheap transport
tation of the Mississippi river go to
seed while all the world is making ju-
dicious investments in canal routes
which do not compare in importance
with the natural canal provided by
the Mississippi.
Why should the people of this coun-
try neglect this great river as means
of transportation when it is such a
valuable corrective Of freight rates
and will become so much more import
ant whenever the Panama canal is
ready for business?
| The railroad men always present us
one sided view of the transportation
question. They assume always that
railroads are our natural and neces-
sary dependence, when, as a matter OF
fact. they are not. Except on the
open prairies the railroads have from
| the first followed the waterways where
nature had done the grading. They
have thus paralleled with the artificial
means of transportation the natural
means of carriage Of goods. After do.
ing this they tell the world that water
transportation is played out and the
railroad is the only thing.
It is a decade since Mr.. Hill sounded
the knell of water transportation and
since then he has put more money
into that kind Of enterprise than al
most any other man in the country
The decade since he made his an
nouncement has been distinctly one OF
canal making. England, France, Ger
many have made notable additions to
their canal facilities in that time. This
country has awakened to the import.
ance Of the great lakes and New York
has appropriated $100,0OO,O00 to mod
ernie the historic Erie canal.
The transportation question has not
been settled entirely in favor of the
wheeled vehicle. None knows this bet
ter than the railroad men. It is still
an open question and while there is nc
probability of the waterway replacing
the land carriages, there is POSSIBLE
ity of the waterway fixing certain con-
trolling rates. Fixing the rates by q
natural method is at least as good as
fixing them by law, because there car
be no cavil against the justice of 9
rate fixed by something which declares
the possibility of a carriage at a profit
at a given fare. The apparent anxiety
of railroad men to declare the Missis-
sippi river out of business may be
based at least in part upon a desire to
see that great canal neglected by the
government.

Men Of sound judgment would not
consent to turn their financial affairs
over to the care of the office boy, even
for one day. Yet the Union, owned
and managed by the shrewdest finan-
ciers in the county, and the Evening
Bunc," controlled by Warden Frank
KEGS and the curbstone bosses, ask
the people of Walla Walla county to
put into office a youthful lawyer to
conduct the county's side of railroad
and corporation legislation involving
immense sums.

better than / he wanted no praise.
1 need not tell of the details of mis-
early student life when he consecrated
his life to God, or of the quarter of a
century since he came to America in
which he has devoted himself solely
to Gods glory with the one object
of saving mems souls and carrying
out the will of his Heavily Father
But I must take advantage of this
opportunity, this great ceremonial
with all these priests doing homage
to speak on the uncertainty of life
which it teaches. The inevitable fact
that we all have to die you and I.
The same fate of death will fall OIL
you and me and the same scene as
this will take place again.
1T is unfortunate nowadays That
we do not think about this. We are
so absorbed in the race for the al
mighty dollar that we put away the
thought of death.
Death is Near.
1--WE priests of God have to force
this idea on our congregations. We will
.read the same path as Father Flohr.
1t is true it may be years but will
you not grant me it may be in few
minutes. We see our friends dying
on every side may it not be our turn
next? May we not be among the vast
millions which go every year?
when you Danish the thought of
death you remove one Of the greatest
incentives to a virtuous life. If a man
lives so that ne is prepared to meet
death it has no terrors for him when
it comes. Wise is the man who at
dawn says that he will live this day
as if it were to be his last day.
ut is consoling to think in the midst
Of this dissipation and neglect Of the
serious Christian life we see every
day examples of exceptions to this
tendency.
ne was Prepared
Father F1ohr was one of these. He
truly lived each day as if it were to
be his last and was always prepared
to meet God. When he realized that
it was all over he calmly kissed his
crucifix and asked to be left alone to
prepare himself for eternity.
You must pray for Father Flohr
True he was a priest, but he was hui
man like every other man and could
and perhaps did offend his God. Now
from his coffin ne asks you to pray
that he may soon enter into an eyer
lasting rest.
"If you love him you will continue
to pray exemplifying the virtues that
he has taught you so that one Cay
you who love him will be united with
him for all eternity in heaven"

A Reliable House

In today's issue the firm of Sultan Brothers has some splendid induce ments to offer to those who need any thing in the lines advertised. Many of these goods are placed below actual cost for the reason that the house is de- slrous of making thorough clean-up of this merchandise in order to make room for new lines. Extremely large purchases were made in th ase goods and to certain extent the q. mand was over reached, hence the rock bottom prices asked. The ladies tailored skirts offered are of the latest designs, well made, and there yet re- mans variety of suf- ficient magnitude to enable one to ob- tain a perfect fitting garment at prac- tically half the original price. A brief inspection of the hat department will convince anyone that rare bargains are being offered. In the grocer depart m mt special inducements are being made Tor cash. The firm handles none but the finest qualities of goods and prices compare favorably with any es- taDlishment of the kind in Globe. Their merchandise is bought in carload lots for cash hence the moderate Drices asked.

While freie Int train No. 12 on the G. V. G. & N. was mile south of Rice station last evening, Brakeman How ard tried to start fire in the cabOose stove by pouring oil in it, with results which usually follow such perform ances.

THINKS WELL OF GLOBE
Boston Mining Man Visits Arizora Com
 merciai and Old Dominion

A Boston mining engineer, now a Globe, Ariz., writes: 'I have thor oughly gone over the Arizona Com mercial Co. s property, and l am very much pleased with what l have seen. l have no doubt about the permanency of the Black Hawk as an ore producer of good grade, and with the completion of the railroad in lew weeks, the company will be in a position to ship ore of all grades on considerable scale, which will net the company a handsome profit.
 '"The Old Dominion is showing up well in large way, and it certainly possesses the finest working plant, in its entirety, in the world. and l believe l say this advisedly. The one device worked out by Professor Ricketts, that is, the automatic, self-registering weighing scales, which does away with the labor of 100 men daily, is only one of the many labor-saving devices to be seen at concentrating and smelling plant.
 When a depth of 2500 feet shall have been attained in this camp, l con fidently believe higher-grade ores will be found and resembling the ore deposits more recently found at Butte. The sulphide ores thus far found have been an iron sulphide carrying some copper; the ore bodies to be reached later will change to the primary copper sulphide of varying degrees. News Bureau.

THE COPPER SITUATION

Twenty-Five years have passed since the copper industry Was as prosperous as it is today. The record high prices current 1T. 1906 have been due to the extraordinary demand, which indicates a consumption in excess of the produc- tion both here and abroad. A suggest ion that the market will continue high indefinitely is made by producers who have sold copper for future delivery at prices that approach the schedule of the famous French syndicate which reached its zenith in 1880. In 1906 the extreme quotations for Lake copper at New York were 1Ss to 271 cents per pound. Production by these mines for the nine months ending with September is esti- mated at l6S, 89l 200 pounds, as against 166, l62; ;480 poun's in the corresponding period last year; an increase of 2,728,- 720 pounds; or 2.6 per cent. Dividends paid by eight Lake companies from January to October, 1906, amounted to $1l ,396, ,624. bringing their total dis bursements since incorporation to $751; 705, 948 on an issued capitalization of $53, 7Sl $50.
 The electrolytic copper industry has shared well in the country's prosper ity, and after years of ups and downs the Amalgamated pany's share holders will again receive dividends at the rate of 8 per cent per annum. Production in the Butte district is growing rapidly, and for the first nine months of the current year the quanti- ty is calculated at 279, 33S, ,954 pounds. To be sure, Montana will again occupy first place as copper producer, al though Arizona is making strong fight. Electrolytic copper sold this year at lSs to 22s cents per pound in cakes, and wire bars f. O. b. New York. Dividend payments by six Mon- tana, one Tennessee, one Utah, and one Wyoming company, for the ten months to October this year amount to $29, BIO, 403, making total of $96, 2l4,- 314 since incorporation on an-outstand- ing share capital of $260, 761, 400.
 Judging from the payment of $4l.- 207,027 in dividends by r copper com panies 80 far, this year will establish an enviable record. Mining World.
