Its wondering what Is going to be.
come of my boys.
Il nave four sons. all young. and all
wholesome, natural youngsters, but II
l keep on making money the way I'm
doing now don't know what's going
to happen to them when they grow up.
There's nothing like being born poor
to give a man a real start In life. with
his feet firmly planted on the ground,
where they ought to be. and he learn.
lag to rely on himself.
Il was born that way and I've al.
ways been grateful for It, II had
been born rich | think | should have
been more or less of a no account
had to get out and hustle and work to
get along, and the habit OF work has
never left me since. as hope 1t never
will.
But how Is It going to be about my
boys? They may come to think that
they don't have to work, which would
be the ruination of them. or would at
least put them out of the running with
sclf.reiant able men.
I'm sending them to public school.
OF course and there they learn a heap
OF thins besides what they get out OF
their books. They learn for one very
valuable lesson that there are other
people In the world besides themselves
and that there may be plenty of PEG.
pie smarter than they are. and that
they've got to work II they expect to
keep their end up.
Boys are democrats. YOU cant put
on any Tugs or airs II you expect to
get along with the boys In q public
school: II you want friends you've got
to be friendly. A good all around start
In life. 1t Is for boys to go to a public
school, and hope my boys will profit
by It.
But l suppose In time they'll 60 to
a private school, and then IL they want
to they'll go IS college. and there. what
with their money, unless they should
turn out to be very hardheaded young
men, they will come to train with
other young men with money, and SO
get separated from the bulk of their
fellow students and begin to live sort
Of by themselves; and l can't imagine
anything happening to young man
worse than that. his getting away from
the mass OF his fellow men.
my boys have never known what 1t
Is to be poor. They have always had
what they wanted. and unless l should
fail or bust up or something, which I
don't expect to do. don't see why
they shouldn't always have things, be.
cause as long as l had anything l
should be sure to keep them. That's
human nature.
And. you see. there's the trouble.
They've got somebody to lean on, and
a man that doesn't have to isn't apt to
put out his own strength. The only
way In which a man can ever amount
to anything is by work, hard work.
THE man that doesn't work dwin-
dies and comes to be of no account.
And | do hope my boys will want to
work. | don't care what they do II
they'll only work at 1t. and work hard
and faithfully. l think they're handi-

HEEDS CRY OF DISTRESSED
House Passes Emergency Bill for Relief
OF Jamaica's UnfOrtunates.

Washington, Jan. 17.-An emergency
bill for the relief Of the suffering on
the island of Jamaica was passed by
the house today.
The bill is as follows:
''The President of the United States
is authorized to distribute among the
sufferers and destitute people Of the
island such provisions, clothing, med.
icines and other necessary articles be
longing to the sustenance and other
naval stores as may be necessary for
succoring the people who are in peril
and threatened with starvation in the
said island in consequence of the re
cent earthquake"
Without division the bill was sent
to the senate:
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1907-01-18

Mr.. Tawney, in explaining the need
of this emergency measure, said that
the secretary of the navy had received
a wireless message from one of the
batleships which had touched at King
ston, that the devastation was even
greater than reported and that the
British government did not know Of
the extent of the disaster. Without
waiting for the authority of congress,
however, Secretary Metcalf had tele-
graphed Admiral Evans to send the
supply ship Celtic, which is now ON
her way to Guantanamo, to Kingston
and turn over her full cargo of supplies
to the sufferers of the stricken city.
The bill did not reach the senate
before adjournment but will be prob.
ably taken up by that body tomorrow.

GREAT FLOODS PREVAIL.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 17.-Thous-
ands of people along the Ohio river,
are homeless on account Of prevail
ing high water. Indications point to
a stage, at least IS feet for the river
in this city, making this the greatest
flood since February, 1884. The city
authorities today began to care for the
refugees. The schools and churches
have been opened as temporary homes
for the homeless. About 1000 people
on hill, known as Turkey Ridge, have
been isolated by the flood, which cut
them off from the mainland. In New
port, KY, the food area covers eight
blocks, three hundred families have
been COMPEL to vacate their homes.
The traffic generally in the river dis

SCOPE EXTENDS FAR BEYOND SPOKANE
Commissioner Prouy Alive to Importance Of Principles In
voIved in Hearing Now Concluded at That City,

( enue between the railroads and the
water. carriers ION the shipment Of
rails from Chicago to the orient, the
witness said he would not answer, un.

that he was forced to answer, he said
| that he did not know, but could get

tions from the attorneys and commits
sioners the witness said he believed

carriers should get from rs to so per
cent of the revenue derived from the
shipment.
Wide IN It's Scope.
In concluding the Spokane end of
the hearing today Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty ruled
that further testimony would be taken
at Portland, Monday, April Is, and in
80 ruling said that the case Was of
SO much Importance that its scope ex-
tended far beyond Spokane. He said
every community in the mountain dis
tricts Of the western part OF the
United States, from Spokane to the
Mexican border, was facing the same
problem. He told of going to Denver
next week to hear evidence in cases
that were exactly similar.
Commissioner Prouty followed up
his remarks by issuing an order that
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern
and o. r. & N. Railroad companies
furnish the commission with complete
information regarding the number Of
cars in interstate freight hauled west
through Spokane, east through Spo-
kane and by the o. R. & N. company
from the south.
The complainants in the present
case have contended from the begin
ming that when a railroad begins to
pay expenses to the terminal points,
patrons along the road should be ben
efitted by proportionate lower rates.
From figures Of merchandise coming
to Spokane and shipped through Spo-
kane, attorneys for the compliments
will learn the quantity Of goods ship
ped to terminal points. The commits
sioner also directed that the railroads
furnish information regarding the ter
ritory in the east from which goods
are shipped. This information regard
ing distances will show the mileage
charge made by the railroad compa-
MES.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Win
ston, of counsel for the city and other
complainants, brought forth the ad-
mission from r. B. Miller of Portland,

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 17.-"I sub
NIT that the evidence offered by the
defendants in this case, through their
own witnesses, Is sufficient to convict
them of crime and this matter should
e taken up with the district attorney
Such was the startling charge made
this morning by Attorney Brooks
Adams of Boston, representing the in
terests OF the Spokane chamber Of
commerce in the railway rate regula.
tion case now being heard in this city
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners Prouty and Lane.
"In answer to our complaint Of al
legged discrimination, the railroads
have themselves given evidence by
their own witnesses that there is a
combination in restraint of trade," as.
serted Mr.. Adams. I submit that all
this evidence should be stricken from
the records, as man cannot set up
his own crime in defense Of an allie
cation.
"The evidence introduced by the rail
roads themselves through their own
witnesses is sufficient to secure con-
vicition of a crime carrying penalty
of $4,000 fine and Imprisonment for
two years, and think it proper that
this matter should be taken up with
the district attorney"
"These facts should be noted and
taken up in your argument before the
commissioners when it will be pro
perly considered said Commissioner
Prouty.
1--WE will be glad to have this case
started at any time to aid the young
and aspiring men desiring to fill the
positions Of these railroad men, and
you should not forget to include as
defendants the Spokane jobbers, who
have aided and abetted this crime," re-
torted w. w. Cotton, chief counsel for
the o. r. & N.
THE Spokane jobbers are barred by
the statute Of limitations, since more
than two years have elapsed since
they were any party to this crime" :"
replied Attorney Adams.
The morning session of the rate
hearing today was briefly devoted to
the examination Of J. G.. woodward.
traffic manager Of the Northern Pa
cific. The examination of the witness
was along the line of rate changes
made in recent years and specific rates
on different commodities. The witness
refused to answer directly to any qaes-
tion regarding rates, without first be-
ing allowed to consult the tariff sheets.
Questioned as to the division Of rev.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1907-01-18

in Spokane, the o. r. & NJ, had made
a lower rate from the east. It was ad
mitted by Mr.. Miller that the lower
rates had not been established until
the Spokane manufactured products
had begun to be important. Mr.. MIL
Ter also admitted on cross-examinatiou
that the road had made reasonable
profit under the lower rates on these
products. The territory adjacent tc
Spokane is also becoming valuable 4or
gardening purposes. Mr.. Miller ad
mitted that lower rate from outside
points had been established on vege
tables.
Commissioner Prouty refused the
request of Attorney Brooks Adams Of
Boston, OF counsel for complainants
to strike from the complaint the sec
ton referring to sca-going compe.i
tion against the railroads. Mr.. Adams
desired this be stricken out, on the
ground that Spokane cannot care
whether its allegation that the rail
roads could successfully compete witt,
sea-going traffic is true, and for the
further reason that 1t would be ex
pensive for the city to take witnesses
to Portland to fight this phase Of the
matter. The complainants regarded
the charge of discrimination on the
part OF the railroads as proved. Com.
missioner Prouty finally ruled tha:
any further testimony Spokane may
desire to offer can be taken in this
city, thus saving the expense Of carrv-
ing witnesses to the coast.
Commissioner Prouty sustained Spo-
bekane in ruling that the case should
be finished as speedily as possible.
Counsel for the railroad companies
and for the coast commercial bodies
contended that the time would be too
short to continue the hearing at Port
land April Is and to argue the case
at Washington during the latter part
of May or the early part Of June, dates
favored by the commissioner. Com
missioner Prouty finally explained
that IL the case was not argued early
in June argument would have to he
postponed until fall. He told the
coast lawyers that he thought the
time ample, and set Monday, June 2,
as the time for arguing the case be-
fore the commission at Washington.
Franklin x. Lane departed for Ta-
coma Saturday morning. He will hear
the evidence in merger case at Sc
attle Monday morning.
Commissioners Prouty goes to Den
yer, where he hears five cases begin
ming next weey.
