Street CAR RULE TO
SIMPLIFY "SPOTT|NC''

The inside particulars of the
squabble between the police depart
ment and the Washington Water
Power company now going on
about transportation seem to be
that the deputies in the county
sheriff's Office started the trouble.
One of them boarded a street car
the other day and showed his star,
but the conductor insisted that he
pin it On the outside of his coat.
The deputy wanted to know the
reason and the conductor said that
according to orders Of the Wash
ington Water Power company the
conductors had to be checked up
and that when the "spotter" was
around and was checking up the
fares collected by each conductor
and could not see why fare had
not been collected from a man in
private dress, he would report him

and there would be a lot of trou-
BILE in Strengthening out the matter
and making explanations.
For this reason the company is
sued an order that all stars must
be on the outside in sight of the
"spotter."
The deputy and the conductor
argued and on the formers refusal
to display his star to public gaze,
the conductor stopped the car and
collaring the deputy put him off.
Then a great hullabaloo was rails
ed and the company issued an
order that all those carrying stars
must pay fares unless in full re-
gala.
The police, however, say that
was no reason for the order eff
fecting the police and claim it is
only another exhibition of the
monopoly's grasping Methods

GIRL
SAVES HORSE

Much human interest developed
at a fire in the barn of A. D. Cope
Ian. S524 Adams street at $3.50
o'clock yesterday afternoon when
Mr.. Copelan's IL year old daughter
rescued one of the family horses.
Urchins exploding firecrackers
and getting ready for the Fourth of
July were responsible for the fire
which burned to crisp one Of the
horses that was tied so the little
Miss who rescued the other one
could not loosen the rope.
Like horses do. the animal fought
against the little girl as she plead
ed and tugged in her efforts to get
1t to leave it's blazing home, but she
stayed with her task and coaxed
and pulled the animal away.
At the time the fire started the
Copelans were visiting.

KANSAS NEEDS $4,000
MORE HARVEST HANDS

Along the Santa Fe railroad farm
ers drove into towns in carriages
and other vehicles and picked up
struggling laborers.
The state free employment agent
holds that the railroads are largely
to blame for the shortage of har-
vest hands. He says the railroads
need every man they can get to
complete their own work, and for
this reason have refused to grant
the l cent a mile passenger rate
that is usually made for harvest
hands. They fear that the call
from the wheat fields, with the at
tractive wages, will draw away
their laborers, who get only SIPS
a day for working on the tracks.

TOPEKA, Kas., June 27.-The

have sent out strong appeal for

At least $4,000 more men than are

a loss to find means for securing
the the required help. All sorts
of inducements are held out to

Somewhere in the United States

covered in the United States in
four different and separate regions
but all were in loose and superficial
deposits which gave no intimation
of whence they had come. In 1908
$50 worth of native diamonds were
discovered. In 1900 the output was
800; the year before $3.50. But
this past year no native diamond

waged over the White Pass freight
apa passenger rates on one side or the
other. However, It is going TO suggest
tina, the question is one that cannot be
settled with equity to all concerned by
political campaign methods II is
really not a question that can be deter

none Of US but that would like to be
carried free sod have our freight
handled for nothing, That Is as nat
ursl As is the craving OF the stockhol6'
ers Of the White Pass, or any other
company for that matter, for dividends.
II selfish interests ooly we're to be con
siasred, the people Of the north would
vote unanimously, probably, for radical
reductions in tariffs, while the White
Pass would consider dividends the
principal feature,
The question is one to be determined
by lust such commission as the Can
sdisn government has selected, and
that commission must be determined
in its course by the earnings Of the
company when its affairs are eco
uomicslly administered. The share
holders are entitled toS fair remuner

At that is matter for experts,
The rates OF the White Pass are high,
Of course, but before one is qualified to
say they are too high he must look
into all the facts ard figures. II must
be remembered that the tonnage and
passenger traffic on the White Pass is
small As compared with that on the
