ager Fee. Rates to 100 or more points
on the Pacific system will be reduced,
in some instances as much as 25 per
cent.
1t is believed that the reduction will
mean an annual saving to passengers
patronizing the Southern Pacific of
from a half million to a million dol
lars, although no official figures have
been under consideration for some
time followed upon a traffic confer
ence at Chicago of the passenger de-
partment officials of the Southern
Pacific with Traffic Director Stubbs
and Assistant Traffic Director Nc
Cormick.
They will become effective July T.,
and it is rumored that the late calam-
ity in San Francisco accelerated the
adoption of the reduced fares. The
purpose of this reduction, which af-
fects a larger area and more miles of
railway line than any change in rates
ever before made by a railroad COM
pary, is development, and the effect
of the experiment, especially in
sparsely settled territory, will be
watched with great interest.
From Auburn, Cal, to Ogden,
Utah, along the main line of the
Southern Pacific, the rates will be re-
duced from to cents per mile, in
the mountainous and desert region as
we'll as in the productive territories.
In the mountainous region about Mt,
Shasta from Redding to Ogden, rates
will be reduced from 4 cents to 8
cents per mile.
Perhaps the most marked reduction
is in Arizona and New Mexico, where
because of the light population the
ratos have been cents and 6 cents
per mile along the line, are now to be
reduced to cents per mile. Across
the Colorado desert from Banning to
Yuma the rates have been cents per
mile, but under the new tariff will be
cents.

TIE UNUTTERABIE MYSTERY

Life is often typified as a beautiful
woman. Death is often typified as the
corpse OF beautiful woman. We are
accustomed to seeing woman's beauty
employed to represent both life and
death. But 1t is distinct shock actu-
ally to see a radiant creature, in the
flush of earthly charm, lying dead in
coffin. We stand aloof in silence,
while the undertakers do their duty.
We have to submit to custom and con-
ventionality that require certain fixed
amenities from broken hearts.
A beautiful woman is being buried
today in Denver-a woman beautiful
in her physical perfection, and beau
tiful in her character. She died I'm
the full radiance of her life She had
submitted to the demand of surgical
science with smiling composure. And
surgical science failed. And she lies
in a coffin and there will be beautiful
songs and beautiful prayers and beau
tiful words and beautiful flowers and
silent tears.
But the heart of the man whose
wife she was surges against his ribs
as wild thing. He stands there, fet-
tered. oh! that he could lift that
gentle form to his breast and carry
her against his heart to some wilder.
ness and dig her grave and bury her
alone. with his grief.
Death-thou teacher of self-contro
and patience and submission to the
facts of life-it is through you tina
we learn unutterable things-thingi
we cannot speak or write.-Pau
! Thieman in Denver Post.

THE FATHER OF OREGON.

Colonel William f. Switzler of Mis-
souri,, recently deceased, was intimate
ly acquainted with Thomas H. Ben
ton, the father of oregon territory.
Colonel Switzler perhaps knew Ben
ton as no other acquaintance knew
him. He was on the closest possible
terms. in a social and business way,
and tells many interesting anecdotes
and characteristics of the old senator.
In writing of Benton's peculiar dis
position, to the Columbia (Mo) Her
aid a few months before his death,
Switzler said:
Benton was a most remarkable
man. In some respects the most re-
markable have ever known, but he
could not begin a career at this time.
The people would not tolerate him.
He would impress even a stranger by
his appearance. He walked as if he
owned the earth. With head raised
at an agile of As degrees and hands
behind his back he would stalk with
measured tread down the street, look
ing neither to the right, nor to the
left. recognizing no one.
IF he had an appointment to speak
at 2 O'Clock, promptly at o'clock he
would arrive. He would come in his
carriage unattended. He would per-
nit no one to introduce him. But,
passing through the crowd, he would
make his way to the rostrum and
begin, Citizens Never did he say
Fellow Citizens. Those before him
were no fellows of his.
! "And when he had concluded he
would make his way back to the
hotel, without personally addressing
a soul in his audience. No one dared
! interrupt him in his speech. He re-
fused to recognize the right of any
constituent to ask him how he stood
on any subject" ~
And yet this seemingly egotistica
man was the most democratic OF
public servants. He was scarcely evei
on the side of the stronger power, bu'
always espoused the cause of the
weak. He was the steadfast frienc
of Oregon and session after session
of congress he stormed, bulldozed
browbeat, pleaded, begged and prayed
for Oregon.
: It was he who finally succeeded II
: opening the eyes OF congress to th'
Importance of this immense north
western territory, now the pride Of tn
nation.
But for his efforts in congress, it !
actually believed by historians tina
the entire northwestern portion of tn
United States from California north
ward would now be Canadian terri
tory.

PoRTLAND's ADVANTAGE.

Freight, like water, flows down
hill No city on the northwest coast
can compete with Portland for COM
mercial supremacy, if she develops all
her opportunities to the fullest extent.
Seattle and Tacoma are perpetual
ly handicapped by the heavy pull over
the Cascade mountains. The natural
route for eastern Washington grain,
wool, flour, sugar, fruit and other
products is down the Columbia, either
by boat or rail, and down the Column

ducts Of the inland empire will surely

and offers just a slight inducement.
The fight over the grain rates in
the state Of Washington is not so
much a fight for a just rate as it is

steamers on the Columbia river.
They see their rival forging com
merciaI bonds in these developments
which time will only strengthen ant
which no artificial freight rate ad
justment can either weaken or de
stroy.
But Portland must do something
more than sit still and wait. Sh'
must reach out helping hand to tn,
inland empire. She must furnish cap

must encourage railroad building int
the interior. She must encourage ir
rigation development and settlemen
in the waste places.

When she helps to open a way for the
interior to reach her harbor. then her

the trade of this upper country until
she provides cheaper transportation
for it. With equal rates with Tacoma
and Seattle, much of her logical traf-
fic will go over the mountains to those
cities.

mony vas in and the argument had
been concluded, the lawyers waited
for the Judge to proceed with his in
structicns to the jury. The justice
seemed somewhat embarrassed.
Finally one of the lawyers whispered
to him and told him that it was time

warily at the jury with a grim judicial

A horse driven by Mrs. Peter Lar
son of this city. took fright last
Wednesday, the breaking of the hold
back strap precipitating the carriage
onto the horse and rendering the
animal almost frantic. The horse
became manageable and tore
down the sharp grade at the foot of
Second street, below Mill, imperilling
the lives of Mrs. Larson and her
children. Fortunately the former
succeeded in turning the animal
north at the Minnesota street corner,
overturning the carriage and spill
ling out the occupants. Mrs. Lar
son became unconscious from the
shock, but escaped with a few
bruises. Her first inquiry upon re-
viving was for her babe, who es-
capped with a few scratches. The
little boy next older was more
severely bruised about the face,
having bee. dragged some distance,
but by good fortune no bones were
broken or serious injury sustained

Howard county attorney, all of
Redwood Falls, spent Sunday in this
city on their way to Revere where
they were present at the Labor day
demonstration. They are all candi-
dates for reelection to their several
offices" AS Mr.. Warner has two.
years longer to wait before the
expiration of his term, the above
would indicate that he is taking an

to go out and work. Some of them
were willing to work if they did not
have to help do chores and were
given a good supply of booze. No
wonder some of our farmers are
willing to retire from the farm.

An item that will be of general
interest to all of the survivors of
the Indian war was printed in
recent issue of the MINNEAPOLIS
Journal is as follows: The story of
the battle of Birch Coulie was retold
last evening at the home of F. c..
Griswold, LOT Island avenue, when
ten of the survivors met for their
reunion. The story is the other half
of the New Ulm massacre by the
Sioux in 1862, as the two bands Of
Indians started to wipe out the
settlers at New Ulm and Birch
Coulie on the same day. Mrs.
Caruller of Dodge Center is the only
woman settler who survived and
she was one of the honored guests
last evening. She was captured by
the Indians and taken out to be
killed, but a heavy thunder storm sent
her captors into their tepees and the
brave woman with her two children
in her arms made her way thru
the storm to the river. They were
adrift in a boat eight days before
they were found by the troops. The
regiment which was sent from St.
Paul to the rescue, met the Indians
on Aug. 3lst, and in the bitter fight
which followed sixty-eight of the
soldiers were killed or MORALLY
wounded.
