RAILROAD RATE HEARING
CONTINUED from page one.)

fiat from Portland on all kinds OF
lumber by water.
The Railroad Contention.
The railroad managers say they
cannot haul the lumber from the In
terror at the rate of $50 rate with
out actual loss, and that this rate is
the greatest cause of the shortage of
cars, as they cannot prevent diver
sion OF cars to more profitable lines
of traffic, and hence there Is continu-
al car shortage in this part of the
country. They say they cannot haul
in empties from 500 to 700 miles and
haul the lumber out at the ss.i0
rate except at loss, and the rail-
roads ask to have the rate raised to
$500 per 1000 pounds. This would
be equivalent to $500 per thou
sand feet of rough lumber as freight
to San Francisco. Rough lumber
there is worth S22. and deducting
freight at the rate proposed would
leave the sawmills s1i.00 per thou
sand feet for rough lumber. Consld-
erlng that the Portland sawmllls pay
as high as s12.00 per 100 for the
logs, IL must be that the mills make
their profit on the clear lumber that
is cut out OF the logs, and the by
products. II the Portland mills can
do this the railroads say the mills Ia
the interior can do still better, as Ia
Dor. rents. taxes. interest are lower
than In Portland. This Is the whole
statement of the railroad people In a
nutshell.
Sawmill Myn Say Ruin.
In their contention before the
Railroad Commission the sawmil
men say blue ruin stares them in tn,
face unless this $40 rate Is con
tlnued. The rate was put In force e

lumber industry In Western oregon
It applied TO Portland at flrst, an,
in fact there was little or no lum
ber shipped out OF Oregon by raj
but from Portland. Afterwards th'
rate was raised to $500 at Portland
but the $40 rate was left on To-
the interior mills. Three years ag'
an effort was made to raise this rat'
to $500 on all interior business. Bu
II was resisted by all the mill mel
and commercial bodies OF the state
and did not go into effect.
The lumbermen then contendet
that they would be ruined. and tina
argument proved effective after |
prolonged hearing with the trafilc a
partment. In which the largest oper
ators and the highest trafIic official
participated. and II ended In thing

the railroad company has establishe'

versey over these rates Will bo pro

THREE MEALS A DAY.
Latest Dietetie Wisdom, According to
an Authority.

There is another dietetic scare
abroad just now. We are never suf-
fered to be long without one, and per
haps 1t is because we are continually
being swayed this way and that way
that we manage, after all, to keep our
balance.
Having been solemnly warned
against over eating, we are now being
emphatically warned that we are in
great danger of being underfed.
There may be nothing in the new the
ory; but, in any case, it will serve to
prove the wisdom of steering mid
die course, which, put in its plain
terms, means eating neither two. nor
six, but three meals a day, of moder-
ate proportions, which very few of
us do, says Home Chat.
Either we eat ridiculously, or we
eat excessively, and then cure" for
six weeks.

wasn't looking I slipped two or three
cents down the hole he had dug.
When he resumed his labors his eyes

1t was better than finding pay dirt TO
watch him. He dug up the cash with
a yell and started to find his mother,
further down the beach. While he
was going | slid in a few more cop

them. He came right back and be.

He gathered in the goods and then he

MEN ARE IN THE MAJORITY.
outnumber the Women In the World
Except In Europe.

The Statistisches Jahrbuch. pub
lished by the German government,
contains every year about so pages of
comparative statistics of the world.
This Is a source to which writer's on
the comparative statistics of nations
very often go for information.
In the Jahrbuch for this year the
statistics Of population as to sex are
collated. Some countries, as France
and China, give only the total popula.
tion, without distinguishing the sexes,
and they have to be left out of the cal.
culation.
In Europe the only countries in
which the number of males Is given as
exceeding that of females are Servia,
Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece, all of
which are Balkan states. The Teu.
tonic. Latin and Slav nations have a
slight excess of females, which is
often only few thousands and rarely
as much as 100000.
In every other continent most Of the
nations have an excess of male popu.
lation. Thus in the western world
Jamaica, Mexico and Venezuela alone
have an excess of females. The Unit.
ed States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina,
Uruguay and other countries have an
excess of males.
So far as accurate statistics have
peen obtained in Africa only the
French possessions and the Gold Coast
colony have an excess of females,
while in Egypt, the French posses
sions, the Transvaal, Orange River
colony and Cape colony males are the
more numerous.
In none Of the Asiatic countries are
females in excess of males, according
TO the statistics. In the Philippines
the males are In excess of the females

HAD FOUND NEW DELIcAcY.
City Bred Youngsters Must Have Had
Peculiar Taste.

Ron and Reg were two dear little
boys who had been born and bred in
big city and knew nothing at all of
country life. So when they were
taken to the real country this year,
far away from towns, they were quite
overcome at first by the marvels that
they saw everywhere.
In the beginning they were afraid
Of everything from the cows to the
grasshoppers, but after a short time
their naturally enterprlsing spirits
overcame all their timidity and soon
their mother had her hands full try
ing to prevent them from bring home
such uncomportabe pets as green
toads.
One day she saw them busy in the
garden picking something up and eat
ing 1t delightedly between them.
Boys! boys!" she cried, what are
you eating there?"

Reg, 1--WE just finded two Turning
taterpillars, smoove one and fuzzy
one, and the smoove one was 'licious!"

The PhiIadelphja Shake.

The English high handshake which
ragged to such an extent in this city,
says the Philadelphia Record at one
time that some of its devotees are
said to have practiced 1t on steplad.
ders, has now entirely disappeared,
and, according to an authority on
such subjects, is to be replaced by
another form of salutation which con-
sists in thrusting the hand straight
out, giving one quick grip without any
up and down motion, and then in.
stantly Withdrawing 1t. Whether peo.
pie who like this no better than they
liked the high shake will be forced
to adopt II for awhile, as was the case
with the other fad, will depend on
the violence and extent of the new
epidemic. The origin of this latest
style, by the way, is supposed to be a
fear Of germs, the idea being that
since handshaking cannot be dis.
pensed with altogether, 1t should be
as brief a performance as possible.

INDUSTRIES or THE soERs.
Girls Taught Work Which They Can
Carry On at Home.

In 1905 an experimental school Of
spinning and weaving was started in
remote Boer village, says the South
ern Workman. The village chosen
was Philippolis, in the Orange River
Colony. Six girls were received
when the school opened its doors,
March 13, 1905, and 1t was soon pos
sible to admit more from the long list
OF applicants. During the first eight
months, about 40 have received train.
Ing In one or another of the branches
OF the work. The primary object is to
teach work which girls can carry on
at home with their own resources,
independently of imported material,
and, 80 far as possible, Independent
also of external supervision, but with
simple democratic and cooperative
organization among themselves. This
work Is intended to be useful In max
ing necessary articles for their own
homes, as cloth, coverlets, blankets,
rugs; but It is also expected that a
things in the towns. So far there has
not been the least difficulty in sell
ing the articles made by the school.
After two or three months of work
In Philippolis, enough has been achiev-
ed to arouse interest through both
the Transvaal and the Orange River
Colony although no attention was
even yet claimed in public. The ini-
tial success of the scheme passes
from mouth to mouth and the Beers
who are a cautious people-begin to
believe that these industries can be
rooted in every district and become
an element in national life.

Jewels DISGUISED Here.

Probably the most valuable agent
which the jeweler possesses for
changing and improving the color of
precious stones is heat. The color of
nearly all gems is affected by heat
ing.
Deep yellow topaz, for instance,
changes TO delicate rose color and
is thereby enchanced in value to "a
very considerable extent, the color be.
ing much more sought after than the
original hue The operation. which
is known as pinking, has to be con
ductod with care, since a little too
much fire would cause the color to de-
part altogether.
The entire loss of color, which is
avoided In the case of the topaz is.

other stones. Pale blue sapphires
may be rendered entirely colorless by
exposure for some hours to a regulat-
ed heat, and they thereby acquire
great brillancy so as to be passed off
as diamonds.

sIMIAN LOVE AND REVENGE.
Peculiar Conduct Of Monkey Causes
Sailors Much trouble.

A curious story of love and revenge
comes to us from the far east and the
fact that II is the love and revenge of
a Javanese monkey doesn't abate the
human interest in the narrative. Nor
should the further fact that the tale
comes to us via the crew of tramp
steamer abate all confidence in its
truth. 1t appears that the sailors
who manned this steamer had collect
ed In Java a number of monkeys for
speculative purposes and these were
confined in the hold.
Among them we're two unusually in.
telligent simians who were released
during the voyage and permitted the
freedom of the ship. Unhappily a
sudden storm came up and one of
the playful creatures was washed over
board. The remaining one, who after
his comrades sudden taking off,
searched the ship for hours and fin
ally betook himself to the rigging,
where he remained three days, refus-
ing food and avoiding all efforts to
capture him.
No doubt he held the sailors re-
sponsible for the death of his partner
and 1t would appear that he was for
mulating a scheme for revenge. Any
way, the third night he released all
the monkeys in the hold and for two
days the simians made life mis-
cradle for the sailors. They bit and
scratched and fought and 1t was only
after a number of them had been flung
overheard that the balance could be
captured and secured. And in all the
forays and fierce charges the revenge
full monkey was in the van.
Whatever may be contended con.
corning the reasoning powers Of the
brute creation there has been many
instances recorded of their remem-
brance of past injuries. And this fact
would seem to give the story of mon
key vengeance some semblance Of
truth.

WATER A VITAL NECESSITY.
Especially Important During Periods
Of Great Muscular Activity.

Every instant Of our lives. a certain
amount of water is given out through
the pores of our skin. by means OF
perspiration-also through the lungs,
the kidneys, or by other organs. This
loss, constantly going on, must be re-
placed by fresh supplies taken into
the stomach.
Water has, indeed, very important
place In our animal economy. When
the supply runs low, the voice Of ma.
ture Is quickly heard, and its name is
thirst. This sensation will impel men
to brave almost any danger or under
go almost any plan to satisfy 1t. 1t Is,
II 1t goes very far, accompanied by a
rapid lowering of musclar strength
and energy, until exertion becomes al
most impossible; but on a fresh sup
ply Of water being taken, an extraor-
dinary change takes place, and
strength and muscular vigor are at
once restored.
An abundant supply of water is,
therefore, especially matter of most
urgent necessity during great mus.
cular activity-either by man or
beast.-Will Carletons Magazine.
