The Walla Walla Record pertinently
asks these questions: "What do they
want, anyway? Do the fire insurance
companies doing business in this state
want the policy holders of the state to
pay their earthquake losses in Cali
fornia? According to their own re-
ports, which the law compels them to
make to state insurance commissioner,
they collected in 1905 there dollars
for every one they paid in fire losses,
Now they have the audacity to suggest
25 per cent increase in rates. 1t
would be downright robbery which
the people of tho state of Washington
will not stand"

A steel passenger car has recently
been completed for the Southern rail
way which is regarded as the begin
ming of the general use Of steel instead
of wood for all kinds of railway cars.
The car only weighs l1O,00O pounds.
There was no wood used in its con-
stIuction except for the interior dec
orations, aud that wood was made
tlreproof. It is said that the car could
not be telescoped in collision. Meth
OF could the ends be smashed in, and
Furthermore, it is uon-oomhustible,
1t generally used, such cars would
greatly reduce the dangers of railway
travel.

All kinds of racket has been kicked
up back in Iowa since the republican
state convention gave Cummins of
the progressive wing the nomination
for governor. The Newsletter, a
stand-pat paper, published at Central
City, gives vent to its feelings as
follows: "The Newsletter was op-
posed to the nomination of Cummins
and will not favor his election to the
goveInorship. His defeat at the polls
will rebound to the honor, gloiy and
stability of the republican party in
Iowa. We love the republican party
for the great and good work it has
done; we dislike to see the Iowa part
of it fall into the hands of the enem-
ies. Aud we have no reason to believe
Cummins ever was or is a republican.
His defeat would not be the turning
down of republican candidate, but
the obliteration of thoroughly un-
scrupulous politician and self-seeker.
A good defeat now would do the re-
publican party Of Iowa world of
benefit. Perhaps it would drive from
its ranks tho sooundrels who Missed

mentioned -

ever, could have made it possible. 1t
shows an actual rational mind, act
ing at once, in full control Of the
body rational enough to be controlled
at once and fully by the mind.
1t requires a much higher quality
of mind to do such thing as this
than it does to make million dollars
and be able to own any number of
automobiles. As second nature it
could not have come merely from
automobiling, but perhaps we may de-
velop more of it finally through atuo-
MODELLING or in spite of it.

A youthful ambition TO emulate the
deeds of bold, bad men, as pictured
in the Jesse James styleof dime novel,
is undoubtedly what led to the run
away and the subsequent murder by
Thomas Reeves and Hugh Saxon.
Both boys had good homes in Portland
and were ut work whom they decided
to 20 out into the world aud prey upon
society. Reeves seems to have been
the leader of the pair. who had only
met week previous to their rash
deed. The need OF money could not
have besn the excuse for the crime,

any one of the numerous bills thus

of President Roosevelt or Senator Dry

not effect the judgment or the conduct

Aerial Nail Box.

In Delaware, Ohio, an ingenious citi-
zen by the name OF Taggart lives on
high hill some little distance or the
main road. The hill is OF loose gravel
and at it's foot Is q small creek, inno-
cent looking and easily forded In
ordinary weather, but swelling rapidly
with heavy rains. The rural carrier,
whose route extended to Mr.. Taggarts
residence. found the frequent high wa
ter and the rough, hilly road such a
source of delay and Inconvenience that
the Department ordered the route
changed and Mr.. Taggart was directed
n place his box on the main road. Mr..
Taggart protested, declaring that he
would not walk that distance. Then
bis inventive brain conceived the troll
ley or aerial mail box. At a convenient
corner Of his porch he placed a wind
less, with a small steel cable extending
down TO the box post on the main road,
around q deeply-groovsd wheel on the
post, and back to the porch. AS
shown, the box Is connected In this
cable, forming the link for the broken
ends. The box is fitted with top
wheels, which run on a fixed cable,
stretched tight from the porch to the
post.
When the mall carrier reaches the
box-post (Which Is visible from the
porch. he puts in the mail and raises
a signal. Some one at the house takes
the handle OF the windlass and turns
Il rapldly, and the box, with its burden
Of mail, comes sailing up the wire.
The mil Is then removed and the bo1

OF one hundred yards is covered in
about ten seconds. which Is as fast Rs
a good sprinter can cover the distance.
Multiplying gears in the windlass in
crease the speed. So far as is known,
Mr.. Taggart is the first to apply this
idea to q rural mail-box.
