The girls voice broke, and great

The scholar pondered for moment

The girl rose from her seat, so did
the scholar; she held out her hand and
he took 1t, and the old man and the
girl looked into each others eyes.
"Good-by," said the girl; 'T'm glad

scholar heartily; "snd, believe me, you

the scholar held the door open for her
to pass out. Then he followed her
across the hall and through the open
front door. He took his pruning knife
from his pocket and he cut her a great
bunch Of roses that were famed
throughout the county, then he walked
down the drive with her, and at the
gate he bade her good-by.
She started down the road, and then,
looking back and seeing him still

murmured; then II will come and see

country are congested with the inn
measurable mass of business heaped
upon them. There are more than
AIS, 600 miles of tracks and yet the
cry is for more. roads and more
rolling stock Considering this,
statistician figures out that by
1908, twenty-five years from now,
the present population of IS, 600, 600
will be increased to 145, 600, 900, or
gain of 90, 900, 900, and that
freights for railroads will be in
creased in like proportion That
will make it necessary to double
track all present lines and to add
new roads aggregating thousands OF
miles more. Of course blighted
harvests, the pestilence or great
and prolonged war would change
this, but so far as present indica-
tions are a guide, that advance Will
have to be made. That will mean
that the railroad interest will be
the leading one of the country. Will
the roads be controlled by a few
men who will dominate the coun-
try? Will they be reduced to
their real sphere of common car
riers? Will the government inter-
pose, purchase them and run them
on government account? 1t is
most grave question. The power
now in the hands of one man,
MIR. Harlan, is more than that OF
any inferior sovereign of the
world. His capacity to raise money
is not equalled by more than half a
dozen of the worlds sovercigns.

Mr.. Young was struck between the

eight feet from the receiver, luckily
was not struck by any of the flying
pieces, but a keg of nails near by

Payette Valley Fruit Crop.

]. r. Field, of New Plymouth,
horticultural inspector for the Pay
cite district, was in Payette the
first of the week. He said he
would begin crushing apples at his
new vinegar factory at New
Plymouth Tuesday. He has a
building 6Ox22 feet, which will
hold zoo barrels of vineger this
winter He has installed a hy-
draulic press, which is operated
with a gasoline engine. Mr.. Field
has prepared a concise report of the
horticultural conditions in his dis
trict and of the amount of fruit
shipped from the Payctte valley
this year, showing the increase over
the amount of last year. He is not
yet permitted to give his report to
the press, but the number of cars
of fruit and melons shipped were
obtained. Apples to the number
of $50 acres were shipped from
Payette, 100 cars of prunes, cars
of pears, ? cars of peaches, and 81
cars of melons, making a total o.
+ 32S cars. This represents esti.
mated returns of $196, 700. Pay,

Carload Rates on Livestock.

The Transmissouri Freight Asso-
citation propo ses to abolish the flat
carload rate on live stock and handle
the traffic exclusively on a 100
pound basis. Stock shippers would
thus have to pay more for the trans
portation of their cattle and hogs,
but it is claimed that this would
induce many who now ship to Mis-
souri, river mar kets to stop their
shipments at the Denver yards.
The new arrangement will become
effective all over the west Janu-
airy 1. Under a flat carload rate it
is said there is tendency to over
load. Railroad men claim that, at
times, a car with 700 pounds ca
pacity is loaded with 20, 000to %, )
600 pounds of live stock. The re-
suit is that cattle are tranp1ed
upon and killed in overcrowding
and the shipper puts in claim
for loss to the railroad company,
and is paid because the company is
unable to prove that the car was
overcrowded, or because it does not
desire to lose the shippers bust
ness. 1t is probable that the ques-
ton will be one of the chief issues
before the National Live Stock As

was for the purpose of arriving at
an agreement respecting the admin

are. now about ready to deliver
water to settlers, large number of
questions arise that have not here
tofore needed consideration. These
all cover the entire field of dis
tribution, maintenance, water
rights, and so on. An agreement
was reached on each point raised
and the views of the meeting or
all of them were forwarded to Chief
Engineer Newell at Washington

DESERT LAND AND
TIMBER CLAIMS
President Recommends Re.
peal or Radical Amend
ment of These
Laws.

President Roosevelt sent to con-
gress Monday a special message on
the subject of the public land laws.
He says the developments of the
past year emphasize the need OF
vigorous and immediate action to
adopt the public land laws to the
actual situation. He says the
effect of the timber and stone act
is to turn over public timber lands
to great corporations. 1t has done
enormous harm and should be re-
>pealcd.
The president urges radical
amendment to the desert land act,
which he says results frequently in
fraud and seldom in making homes
on the land; urges the repeal of that
provision which permits assignment
before patent and says the entry
men should be required to live on
the land not less than two years be-
fore patent issues. Other wise, he
says, the desert land act will con-
tinue as an aid to spectators and
to other large holders to get control
of land and water on the public do
main by indetensible means.
He recommends also that the COM
mutation clause of the homestead
act should be amended to require
actual residence on the land three
years before communication.
The president is gravely con-
cerned at the prevalence of frauds
under the present laws and says he
has instructed the secretary OF the
interior to allow no patents to be
issued under any law until an ex-
animation has been made on the
ground, to show that the law has
been complied with. For this pur-
pose he urged a material increase
in the number of special agents II
the land office.
The message also deals at length
with the administration and contro
of the government forest reserves
concerning which numerous recon-
mcndations are made.

PROPOSED ROUTE OF THE
GIN. 4 ST. P. ROAD TO COAS 7

The following official announce
mcnt was made last week in Chi
cago concerning the route to be
taken by the new Pacific line of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul railway. The line, it is esti-
mated will be about 1000 miles in
length, and it is expected it will
be completed as far as Butte, Mon
tana, by January 1, 1908, and that
trains will be in operation over the
entire line one year later.
The contracts have been let for
the construction work and track has
been laid from Glenham, South Da-
kota, to point about twenty miles
west of the MISSOURI river. The
road will cross the Missouri river
twelve miles west of Glenham and
then for about forty miles follows
the line of Oak creek and it's
tributaries and then parallels the
line between North and South Da-
kota for fifty miles. The state line
between North Dakota and Montana
will be crossed about eight miles
west of Little Missouri river. Four

new road will cross the Northern
Pacific by passing overhead 1t is
probable that division headquarters s
will be established at Miles City,
Montana.
From Butte westward the line
follows the Deer Lodge, He'll Gate,
Missouls and ST. Regis rivers to .
point about four miles west oil
Saltese, Montana, where the as
cent to the summit of the Bitter
Root mountains will commence.
The line follows the st. Joe rive,
to within few miles of is mouth
and crosses the Idaho-W ashing tor
line near Tekoa, Washington
The Columbia river Will b'
crossed by a bridge of IS spans
having a total length of 2750 feet
About 20 miles west of the Colum
bis river a tunnel of 1900 feet il
length will be constructed and an
other two miles in length VIII b
built at Snoqualmie pass. A
Maple, Valley, Washington, connec
ton will be made with the Column

be obtained to Seattle. A nev
