MILEAGE MADE
MORE USEFUL
ON HILL AND nARRIMANll LINES
interchangeable Books to Be Issued
Commission Is After Many
Road Improvements.

interchangeable mileage will be
issued by the Hill and Hartman
roads doing business in this state.
| This concession was made to the
state railroad commission by high
traffic officials of the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and o. r. G N.
Mileage books, good for 1000 miles
of transportation, will be put on sale
at $50 each as soon as they can be
issued, and the transportation will
be good over any steam railroad in
this state.
The railroad commission has asked
the roads to agree to an extension Of
the limitation on tickets sold, to
bulletin full particulars of delayed
trains and to improve conditions In
the waiting rooms of passenger sta
tions throughout the state. This
probably will be done later.
Owen o. Calderhead, former chief
clerk of the Northern Pacific general
office at Seattle and now rate clerk
for the railroad commission, will be
made secretary of the commission on
April 1. j. Will Lysons, the present
secretary, is to resign to re-enter
newspaper work at the state capital.
| Calderhead is essentially rate
man. He put together the first rate
sheets the commission had, and his
exposition of state tariffs made at
the Colfax and Walla Walla hearings
was revelation to the railroad ex-
perts. Calderhead aided in the
preparation of the railroad rate map
that has just been issued. When he
takes over the work of secretary he
will continue his work as rate clerk.
E. W. Perley of Tekoa, chairman
of the Republican county committee
for Whitman and an o. R. C N. en-
gineer, known throughout eastern
Washington, will be inspector of
trackage and safety appliances.
The appointment of an engineer
for the commission is uncertain.
The new rules sought by the COM
mission, and which it is hoped can
be put into effect without any fric-
ton, are comprehensive. The COM
mission wants the railroad passenger
officials to agree to remove the pres
ent limitation on tickets, so that
where full fare is paid no limitation
as to train and date to be used by
the traveller will be prescribed on the
ticket. 1t is also to be required tina.
If the ticket is not used it shall be
redeemed. The commission recog-
nizes the railroads right to prescribe
regulations for reduced transporta-
ton, and will not interfere with that
= prerogative.
The bulletining of delayed trains is
an important change sought. The
time of arrival and departure, par
} ticulars of accidents or delays are
asked to be bulletined in the passen-
ger depots.
Improvements about the waiting
rooms are also asked Hygienic con-
ditions are demanded, together with
better accommodations for travellers
and supply of pure drinking wa
ter. Comfort is sought from ths
roads wherever the station is i'm
portant enough to pay any attention
to passenger travel.

five years old and having had eigh,
husbands within that time, Mrs. Polly

a failure and that men are after money

her last venture by filing divorce pro-
ceedings against William Baker. as she
did against six other husbands. The
extra one drowned himself.
Time was when Mrs. Baker told her
father, when he objected to one of her
suitors, that she knew of nothing she
liked better than being led to the altar
by some noble appearing man. She
could talk to her father as an equal, at

Interesting Life of Lucky Baldwin

Lucky Baldwin hasn't had quiet
moment since he first saw the peep of
day, almost so years ago, says Harry
B. Smith in a San Francisco exchange
Lucky isn't the kind of man, you know,
to sit idle while the procession of life
is flowing by. He always had a liking
to turn right into the swift current,
and yet to see him today; save for the
softened voice that comes with age, you
would hardly realize that hero is a
early sos, who existed through all of
the excitment that pertained to the
fabulous mining deals and who was
one of the first Californians to have
the nerve to send a big stable of Sun
set-bred youngsters to the effete east
And today this self-same man. who
has made his fortune in the turn of a
hand or the tick of a clock, who has
lost large portions of those fortunes
only to regain them again, is contented
to discuss the breeding of this yearling
Or the chances of that one But don't
imagine that Lucky has lost his ambi-
ton. He has always had more than his
share of the real Americans get-up-
and-go, and now. in what would be the
shadow of most mems lives, it is oozing
out in the form of dreams of the finest
racetrack on the Pacific slope Lucky's
air castles of years ago of the upbuild-
ing of Arcadia are about to be realized
This is what the old man is waiting for
and if anybody tells you that he will
let go his grip until he has seen, for
himself what his mind has pictured.

what he's talking about.

it. A name that came out of the west,

horses and all. Those were troublesome
close to the Baldwin family, and Lucky
with the balance of the crowd, was
moved into a nearby fort or StOckade
for safety. Fate had no intention of
scalped. Nothing like that. So the
Black Hawk wave of terror passed by
on the other side.
How did you make your first
money!" suggested Fisher. who opened
up to keep his mouth from freezing
tight. 1t was bitter cold the day we
talked with Baldwin and the elder man
did not seem to notice the weather half
as much as the pair of us.

to tell you a story to explain that. We

could go some. One day a couple of
fellows from Chicago drove up and
asked for food. They had nag that

bet everything but the clothes on
their backs. | rode my own horse
and won. They came way out there
to play me for sucker, but all the
same l had to stake them to enough to
get them back home
And Baldwin actually chuckled as n
thought of the discontinue of these
seasoned experts in the game of graft
who were prepared to fleece an inno-
cent Indiana lamb out of house and
home.
There was the start of his luck--the
element that gave him his name.
Racine, Wis. saw Lucky for a brief
time while he ran a general mercilan-
the old ladies and farming tools and
plug cut tobacco to the men. But the
gold fever got him in the grasp, and dS
he had a brother who was picking up 4
few shekels in California, he just had
to come and see for himself.
1t was on Aug. 10, 1858, te be exact,
that he landed in San Francisco.
He had bit of money at the time
and started in the hotel business. Peo-
pie had to eat and Baldwin was shrewd
! enough to see his opening. After two
weeks he sold out for $4,000 and since
then he has had busy old life of it.
How did you get the name #
Lucky?"
And there was no hesitation in Bald
wins manner as he replied:
The Chronicle gave me that name a
long time ago. If you want to know
about those mining deals look in Ean-
croft's history
But we were looking for anything
but staid and dried history. We wanted
the hooks in Baldwins life, the little
stories that might slip by the historian
and still make interesting reading.
The Santa Anita ranch was the turn
ing point in the history of Baldwin, so
far as the racing world is concerned.
He acquired that property in southern
California for 100000.
Il might have had it for much less
he observed with a touch of regret in
his voice. Il bought it in 1874, but
