Head-0n Collision.-As the A. & c.
Saturday excursion-express was swing
ing along yesterday afternoon toward
this city with its great crowd of tour
lists for Astoria and the Oregon beaches,
and Just at it was rounding a curve
near Clifton, a hapd-car was observed
on the rails, and too close to avoid
striking Il, though the section.boss did
his utmost to reach a spot where the
car might be derailed without having to
be sent down a twenty-foot embank-
ment; but even that could not be done.
The men on the car sprang off Of it
as one individual and no one was hurt,
but the hand-car was OF even good chips
when the locomotive got through with
it, and as no lives were involved in the
mess, the train was not delayed for any
appreciable time.

Lumber required to supply railroad
ties is enormous, and the timber land
is stripped continually to meet the de-
mand, and it is estimated that 100000
acres of forest are cut annually to sup
ply the railroads with ties that wont
last more than five years and have to be
constantly renewed. This is a great ex-
pense, and many of the railroads who
nave many acres of land contingent to
the beds have planted trees and esti-
mate that in 20 years they will have a
sufficient quantity of their own timber
for an inexhaustible supply for future
needs.

The wanton destruction of timber In
this country in the past, is now being
exemplited by the Importation Of 1900,
600 railroad ties from Japan. The price
to be paid on this contract Is 50 cents
each, including the tariff tax Of cent a
cubic foot. or 4 TO l5 cents on each
railroad tie, The price asked for Amer
lean grown ties on the Pacific Coast Is
said to be rs cents each. so the tariff
tax will have to be increased at least 10
cents more per tie to protect our lum.
bermen from the pauper labor Of Japan.
Here is something for the protectionists
to act upon instead of supinely standing
pat and letting the pauper foreigner
nndersell the American product. Then,
too, II the tariff duty on timber was in
creased II would hasten the denudation
Of our forests, which the protection sys.
tenn evidently desirous, by placing OBJ
stacles on the importation of foreign
lumber 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the more costly ties and rails can
be made, the higher our freight rates
ire bound to be.

WHY NOT OREGON?

The fish commission of the State of
Oregon is an immensely responsible
agency in the perpetuation of one Of her
leading industries, and to do its whole
duty by the people engaged in that de-
partment as well as to those whose
time and money are engaged in the
enterprise, no single utility should be
denied the officers who discharge the
functions of the commission; and this is
particularly true of the river service on
the Columbia. To cover this field, in
all the varied detail of the business the
commissioner and his deputies should
have strong, swift, light-draft motor
launch from which nothing that floats
could get away. That we have not such
paramount convenience here is owing
to cheap gallery play" on the part of
the governor, who vetoed the bill pro-
viding for such equipment, last winter;
and who will, in all probability, have
an opportunity to repeat the folly next
spring. The State of Washington main
tains fine launch in this service and it
is of incalculable value in more ways
than one, and has paid for itself time
and again in the mere matter of local
farces it has saved to the state and her
officers in their constant moving about
over the water ways under jurisdiction.

NEW PLAY IN A NEW THEATRE.


The Lincoln square Opens With EDWARD
Peple's 1.-THE Love Route"
The new Lincoln Square Theatre on
Broadway and Sixty-ffth street was opencd
by the Shuberts last night with a new play
by Edward Peple, The Love Route"
Though an unfortunate choice Of title on the
part OF MIR. Peple might leod the theatre
0oer to believe first of that the new attrac-
tion at the new theatre was a musical opera,
il needs but one night's attendance to con-
vince that The Love Route" is a subdued
meIodrama with a novelty in the third act.
The novelty IL the introduction OF a rail
road section gang upon the stage, with
ali the properties Of steam derricks and
other impedimenta. A railroad is under
course OF hurried construction across the
property Of the heroine n under the guns
of her cowboy henchmen. And under the
swinRing Rrapple OF the derrick the hero
IL shot by the well meaning but impetuous
disappointed admirer Of the lady property
owner.
Mr.. Peple has built a plausible plot about
the efforts OF a rallr3ad In Texas TO lay
it's tracks across the narrow strip OF
land held by a fiery young woman OF
Southern blood, who objects s~trenuously
to the dissertation Of her fathers grave by
the rumble OF car wheels. Because the
lover Of the vigorous property holder is
LOG FIJI OCAAAAAAHIAOAAN0 - NAN hhfft'
10 Law the tracks over her land willynilly
the four acts of Mr.. Peple's play do not
lack excitement.
GUY Standing has the part OF John Ashby,
the engineer with~ambitions. He hnds
opportunity to reach his level not more
than twice in the play, for the scenes that
are his alone with Miss Odette Tyler, the
AIlene Houston of the piece, are few.
Miss Tyler has better opportunity than
does Mr.. Standing. She assumes the role
OF the ~vivacious, the determined young
ranch owne without OVERRIDING, and in the
first act she has good opportunity for
snappy, emphatic work.
The new theatre or Lincoln Square,
which is leased by the West Side Amuse-
ment Company, is a comfortable, sweet and
clean appearing place, airy and light in it's
finishings of white, blue Inc gold. A wide
foyer and broad aisles are among the most
~commendable features OF the new play
house. The stage is not large. but il is set
well out from the wall and the seats are
arranged with a view to the smallest pos
sible minimum Of column" seats.

up "Tammany" and Andreas DIPPED told
DR.. Neitzel that the air was the American
national anthem. DR.. Neitzel said he
rather liked it.
The presence Of the tug and the scream

two ladies for whom the ovation was in
