The navy department is heartily in favor of ship subsidy bill. for at pres ent this country has substantially no merchant marine and consequently no sailors. Strange to say. says one writer. the men along the coast do not seem to care for life in the navy. and consequently recruiting officers are forced to search inland for recruits, most of whom are induced to join the navy because of the prospect of mak- ing q tour of the world and learning much thereby. By the time the scanty list of applicants pass the various re- cruiting officers and the surgeons and take a little preliminary practice, about half of them fall out. The remainder. most of whom have never seen the ocean until enlisted. are mustered into the service. but few care to stay more than one term. In that time they have travelled to a considerable extent and are willing to return home and enter some more pleasant and profitable oc- cupation. When the war vessels now building and planned are placed in commission We will be short about r. GOO sailors in addition 10 the shortage that already exists, and the depart ment is wondering where on earth it is going to get the men. A merchant marine would be a great feeder for the navy. -----,----.

q decrease from 2.006 cents for the
year previous. The average freight
rate for 1905 was but O.766 cent per
ton per mile against 0.7S0 cent for
1904, 1t will be some time before the
statistics for the year ended June 80,
1906, are available, but the annual re-
ports of the principal roads show that
the general course of rates in that
year was downward, and the current
year will show marked reductions in
the average rates, both for passengers
and freight. Since the passage or
tho Hepburn law requiring thirty
days notice Of a proposed change in
rates but authorizing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to modify
this requirement by special orders the
Commission has complied with scorcs
of requests to reduce rate on less
than thirty days notice but has re-
ceived only one request for permis-
sion to make an increase and that was
case in which it was desired to cor
rect rate that had been made too
low by typographical error in tho

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Considering Plans for Census Of 1916
4. Passenger Rates. Etc.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-Dircctor Of
the Census North is already consider
ing plans for taking the census for
1910, and it is expected that it will
be the most complete and accurate
census in the history Of the country.
This will result from the fact that the
c"ns"s office IS now Il permanent bur
eau and, instead of having to organize
from the ground up for the next cen~
sus. all that will he necessary will be
the expansion Of the present we'll
trained force. A matter that will be
considered in connection with the ccn-
sus Of 1901 will be the possibility of
obtaining more accurate vital statis-
tics and data from which the relative
rate Of increase in population in diff
ferent localities and for different
races can be determined. It is beliey-
ed that if reliable data can be obtain
ed some interesting facts will be dis
closed as to the relative rates of in
crease Of the white and negro races.
Professor Wilcox, Of Cornell Univer-
slty. who made an exhaustive study Of
the figures Of The last census, reach
ed results tending to show that, even
without taking account of immigra,
ton, the whites are increasing faster
than the negroes, but the great diff
Guilty in the way Of arriving at, defi-
mite conclusions is the entire absence
Of reliable birth statistics and the un-
reliability of death records in most
localities. It has been suggested that
when the next census is taken selected
field agents Of the bureau be sent to
points in different parts of the coun-
try to make an exhaustive study Of
the population in restricted areas
obtaining the vital history of each
family. It is believed that if such
studies are made in considerable
number Of places information can be
obtained which will supplement the
statistics of the regular census and
make it possible to arrive at approxi-
mately correct conclusions on many
interesting questions.
Railroad rates in the United States,

Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-23

Having taken all the precautions necessary,
the young engineer lit one of his small Ian
terms and made an inspection of his locomo-
tive from all sides.
He found it injured more than he suspect
ed 1t was battered and broken to that ex-
tent that it would have to limp or be drag.
ged to the shops at Bayipgton, where several
weeks would be required to complete the re-
pairs.
Before the inspection was ended, the two
bosses came walking slowly along the sac
of the engine, bearing Ned Thatcher between
them.
His first inquiry of the friends who reached
him was as to how Jarvis had made out
When told that he had broken the frog and
was min jured himself, Ned started to cheer
but as the good Samaritans Just then were hit
ing him from the ground, sudden pang broke
the cheer in two before 1T was hnisheo,
But Ned was in good spirits, despite his
hurt, and, when Jarvis walked up to nm,
lantern in hand, with the dusky ltalans
standing around, the fireman reached out and
warmly greeted him.
The broken limb needed attention, but
crippled "99'' was in the path to Des Sartes'
and the road was not clear toward Baymg-
ton. As the only thing that could be done,
one of the Americans started across the coun-
try TO the house of a doctor. two miles away,
Willie Ned was carried into the little building
of the telegraph operator, and made as com
Portable as possible.
The young man with the pipe had his hands
full, and more, too. Dispatches were pouring
in upon him from up and down the road, and
he kept track of the messages. as they passed
back and forth between the terminl.
The newspapers had got wind of what was
going on. and were clamorous for informa-
ton' but as the line belonged to the railroad
company, they could not enforce their de
mands.
The operator at Frogtown gave every par
tcuhr possible, even TO the breaklng OF Ned
tair "nnemies' for a doctor
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-23

"No, you don't. The track isn't clear;
there's a train coming up that way, and
Awakening to the fact that he was giving
away secrets that should not be known, the
operator checked himself. took another Whit
from his pipe, turned about, and jumping
to the ground, ran back to his station.
But the others caught the meaning of his
words, and quietly leaving the engine, gath
cred by themselves in the rain for consulta-
tion. This frog business was all well enough
in its way, but in one sense the trouble had
only just begun.
A minute after, Jarvis Brinton was working
with might and main to draw the fire of his
engine With the long iron hoes, as they may
be called, he raked out the red-hot Goals from
underneath the boiler and tumbled them in
a glowing mass to the ground, where they
gave out strong odor of gas as they rapidly
cooled and turned black. 1t took some time
to complete this task, but had it not been
done, the boiler would have been badly burn
ed and possibly ruined. no supply of wa
ter could be pumped from the tender into
it, while the locomotive stood still.
The engine was canted to the right, so that
if it should settle little more, it was liable
to fall upon its side: but Jarvis gave it as
his belief that it would stay there con-
siderable while.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-23

The laborers, however, were under the
leadership OF those who, determined though
they were in asserting the rights of their en-
ployers, were not without fair share OF
discretion.
At ten o'clock that night eight hundred
men Were at Frogtown, and still more were

As soon as the Sheriff arrived he called the

The Sheriff was resoute man. and there
said:
Il shall hold You Individually responsible
ior the behavior OF your men. / forbid any
one to interfere with the track, engine OF
cars. This dispute must be settled in the
courts, and the first man who makes move

In That q Is quite formidable force of yours,

specimens as you, / would send three of my
constables to bed, and then have more than

ing his feet on the back Of a seat, and coolly
putting his cigarette.
'ut's so cheap" remarked the Sheriff that
if you indulge in any more of your impudence
Ill arrest and lock you up"
The pale face of the acting assistant super
intendent flushed and he sneered without
speaking.
The leaders ON both sides assured the Sher-
if they would do their utmost to preserve
the peace. 1t was true large number of
men were on the ground. and had fighting

Word had been previously sent that a train
of five hundred laborers had started from
Bayington, with orders to stop at Merton and
pick up the Sheriff of the county, to whom
dispatch had been forwarded.
Meanwhile, the principal officers of the road
we're hurrying from Des Cartes on a special
train, with several hundred laborers, and the
operator at Frogtown was right when he de-
eiared that the drama had only opened.

utes similar light, accompanied by long
resounding blast from the whistle, showed
that third train was coming over the North
ern Trunk Line. from Reaville.
Ali these advanced cautiously, and in great
contrast to the charge OF "99' upon the
offending frog
Thus three train-loads of men were steadily
nearing the same spot, and the situation was
rapidly assuming grave character.

CHAPTER XXXY.
THE BATTLE OF THE FROG

THE BATTLE OF THE FROG
L WAS not long before the headlight
of locomotive was seen approach
ing from Bayington.
Almost simultaneously the engine
from Des Cartes flashed around the
distant curve and within five min
