Plan to Ascend Mt. Baker.

Mount Baker is the mountain to be
assailed next by the Mazama club and
its friends. The ascent is to be made
next summer. 1t is expected that
when the tooth lis have been reached
and everything is in readiness for the
perilous trip, the party will compose
about $50 men and women, including
most of the members of the club, says
the Oregon Daily Journal.
Just when the ascent will be at
tempted has not been decided That
has been left to the outing committee,
appointed at the last meeting Of the
club. 1t will also make all arrange
ments for the climb. The personnel
of the committee follows: Edmund P.
Sheldon, F. H. Kiser and Martin w.
German. Portland; Charles E. Cutter,
Tacoma: Charles Landes, Bellingham;
George S. Wilson, Seattle.
The interest in the proposed climb
has been accentuated by the enjoyable
outing last summer when the club, in
conjunction with other mountain
climbing organizations. together with
a number of friends, went up Mount
Rainier.

Pere Marquette Stockholders Meet.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 27.-The
stockholders of the Pere Marquette
railroad will hold a meeting here this
afternoon which will be of the greatest
Importance as it will determine wether
or not the stockholders will permit
the separation of that system from the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton rail-
road. About two months ago the
stockholders of the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton railroad voted to annul
the lease of the Pere Marquette, but
it Is doubtful whether the stockholders
of the latter railroad will acQuiesce in
this plan. The situation is rendered
more interesting from the fact that the
stock of the Pere Marquette is scat
tered among several thousand holders
who are divided into two factions. The
receiver of the two lines, JudsOn Har-
mon, has no direct interest in this
meeting.

Art and Eggs.

John S. Sargent, when he was last
in America said the art editor of a
New York magaz;' e, visited one day
the gallery of a certain millionaire.
This millionaires gallery was
large 1t included, perhaps, a thou
sand pictures. But the pictures had
not been collected with discretion.
Many of them were bogus, and those
that were genuine were not, at best,
worth much.
In silence Mr.. Sargent walked
through the gallery. Now he passed
before this painting, now before that.
But he said nothing. Not a word.
1.-The millionaire, alarmed at this
silence, became voluble over his pict-
ures. He pointed out their merits in
the eloquent tone of an art catalogue,
and each of his sentences had an inter
rogative inf1ection-at the end of each
he paused, waiting for Mr.. Sargent to
agree. But the Great painter continued
silent.
Finally, in despair, the millionaire
said:
LAT last you will agree that my col
lection is a tolerable one, won't you?
"Tolerable? Yes Mr. Sargent
answered. And he. added, with a faint
smile: But what would you think of q
tolerable egg?

WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO
RAILROAD FOR JAcKsoNs HOLE,
Union Pacific Has Force of Surveyors
Running Line Along the
Snake.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 27.-Preliminary
surveys are being made by the Oregon
Short Line for it's proposed line
through the south fork canyon along
the Snake river in Idaho into the
Jackson Hole country. Several gangs
ot surveyors are at work at various
points in the canyon. A line has been
run from Poplar to Elva. 1t is said
that a grade has been mapped out
from the mouth of the canyon into
the jackson Hole territory which will
permit the road being built at a max
imum cost Of $4,000 per mile A party
of 35 engineers is now at Rigby, Ida,
awaiting instructions. Another party
went to Ashton last week and it is be-
1ieved they will engage in the construc-
tion of the Short Line extension to
Yellowstone park.
There are seven camps of laborers
established near Ashton and about 600
men are working on the extension to
the park The grade in several places
is said to be heavier than any en-
countered by any railroad in the west.
The work has been pushed with all
possible haste to have the road com.
pleted and ready for operation by next
September.

A Less Sleep Society.

-Four hours of sleep a night" said
vegetarian, lis believed by many
persons to be quite enough for any he

the idea has been organized and am

Good Showing.
although the salmon pack at some
fisheries outside of Alaska shows a
falling off. the pack of the world for
this year was nearly a million and a
half cases greater than last The to-
tai number of canneries in operation
this year was AZ, against SIS in 1904.
There were % salteries, against 10 last
season. The number of firms or indi-
vlduals engaged in the business is
40, against 40 in 1904. The aggregate
capital stock engaged in the business
is $11, $50, being a decrease in this
item Of $2,576,350 from the reported
capitalization of last year. This re-
duction is largely accounted for by
the Withdrawal from the field of the
Pacific Packing and Navigation COM
pany. which represented a capital of
$3.0OO,O00. The Northewestnern Fish.
cries company, which succeeded to the
ownership of the major part of the
business, is capitalized at 81 900 900.
The value of plants is placed at S.
72S,97S, being $156,S7S less than last
year, which is due to the fact that
a number of canneries are idle and
are not taken account of.
Seasons Pack.
1.-The seasons pack foots up 1885,
OILS cans and 1881 barrels, together
with 7565,OO9 pounds of dry-salted
fish. In 1904 the aggregate was L.
953,746 cases and 15,4O7 barrels. Be-
ing reduced to cases, the figures are
2,059,119 for 1905 against 2,O12,92S in
1904. While there is actually a loss
of 64,731 cases of canned salmon. the
total output for the year shows a
gain of the equivalent Of 46.191 cases,
which is explained by the large in
crease of sailed and dry-cured fish.
The total value of the product
amounts to s6,563655 against $685.

Good Seats "FiIed On"

Senator John F. Dryden of New Jer-
sey has fallen heir to the seat soon to
be vacated by Tom Bard of California
who was defeated for reelection. Sen
ator Dryden filed on Bard's seat
many months ago.
1t is an ill omen for claim like this
to be filed on a seat. Each senator is
permitted but one claim, and no two
claims can be filed on the same seat.
If a member having a desirable seat
is seen to be tottering in his political
fortunes, some cold-bloded colleague
will at once file on his seat. But 1t
seemed particularly cold-blooded when
Senator Bill Stone of Missouri wired to
Colonel Ransdell the last day of Oc-
tober. 1904 to file a claim for him on
Cockrelrs seat. Stone evidently fore
saw something doing in Missouri, and
was willing to profit from the poll
