CLUB HOUSES FOR EMPLOYEES.
Oregon Short Line VIII Furnish Ac-
commodations for Men.

Following the lead of the Southern
Pacific and one or two other lines, the
Oregon Short Line has decided upon
the erection of a series of trainsmen's
clubs at various points on its lines for
the comfort and convenience of the
unmarried men amongst its employees,
says the Salt Lake Herald.
Elans are now being prepared and
already Pocatello has been selected as
the site of the principal club house.
Montpelier and Glenns Ferry are also
to have clubs similar in nature but
smaller in size and work on all three
buildings will be commenced Just as
seon as the plans are perfected, prob
ably within few weeks.
These clubs are intended to take
the place Of the present poorly euip-
ped hotels at the various railroad d.
visions and other points, which are
in many cases entirely inadequate to
provide TO rthe growing needs of the
army of trainmen in search of accom-
modations for periods of from one
night to three or four days. A brake
man, engineer or conductor arriving
at the end of his run or the point
from which he is expected to take
out another train frequently finds
himself compelled to wait several
hours. He is in many cases forced to
pat up with wretched accommodations
at a high price and it is to remedy
this state of affairs that the Oregon
Short Line has decided upon the erec-
tion of its own quarters.

other will be inclined to give credence
to the professor rather than to the
major.
Major School seems to look to Eng
land to put Leopold out of the Congo,
for France has been given slice Of
land and some Americans have been
given valuable rubber concessions, and
SO France and America, according to
School, haven't any interest in find
ing horrors on the Congo, .,
II would Seem the part of wisdom,
| therefore, for Leopold to give Eng
land some land or rubber or both.
But maybe England wants too much.
Perhaps, it would take a great deal
of the Congo territory to mollify Eng
lands feelings now that she has de-
veloped so much righteous indigna-
ton against Belgian control of the
Congo.

DOPING A RACE HORSE.

nent veterinarian the other day, be
cause the dose given is so small that 1t
can be administered under the very
eyes of the officials. with little IL any
danger of detection, and. besides, 1t Is
given so long before the race that the
horses are not then likely to be under
surveillance. II horse is to race at
3 o'clock he gets two grain powder
on his tongue In darkened stall at l
o'clock. The drug takes effect in about
thirty minutes, and the animal breaks
out into sweat. He Is rubbed down,
cooled out and done up as IL he had
come in from morning work. Every
effort Is made to keep him quiet until
post time, but he very often breaks out
again and is again cooled out The
doped horse never takes any warming
up work, and this fact affords the best
means / know of for finding him out.
He is moved slowly to the starting
point, great care being taken to pre-
vent him from becoming excited until
the flag is dropped Then kick and
a dig do the work, and In an instant
the full force of the dope is felt, stimu-
latlng the animal to run the race of his
life.
"After the race an antldote Is usual
ly given, but II is sometimes well along
in the night before the excited horse
regains his normal condition. The
strain on the nervous system is terrific.
For this reason dope horses have short
careers, as rule, and are Of little
value for breeding purposes. kansas

TAXATION !

During the last three years the state
Of New York has lived under three
different laws for the taxation of
mortgages. In the state Of Massachu-
sets mortgages have been entirely
exempt from taxation since 1881.
Berkshire county, Massachusetts, ex-
tends from north to south the entire
width Of the state, and borders on
Duchess, Columbia and Rensselaer,
counties in the state Of New York.
The mortgage records for 1904 and
1905 for Berkshire county, Mass, and
the statistics of the mortgage record
Of those counties were collected. Sim
liar statistics we're obtained from the
city Of Boston and the city Of New
York for comparison.
Prior to July 1, 1905, debts secured
by mortgages on real estate were tax
able in New York in the same man.
ner as any other personal property.
That is to say. that each person was
liable to be assessed for all taxable
personal property owned by him in
excess Of bis debts. Although no very
great effort was made in most parts
Of the state to assess persons who
owed mortgages, the fear of taxation
deferred many from lending locally on
mortgage security with the result that
the rate of interest on mortgages was
increased BY from two to six mills
over what It would have been had
mortgages been exempt from taxation
as in Massachusetts,.
In 1905 law was passed designed
to correct the gross inequality and in.
Justice OF the inclusion of mortgages
as ordinary taxable property. BY this
law all mortgages recorded on and
after July 1, 1908, were made taxable
without any deduction for debt, and
without regard to the residence Of the
owner, at the rate Of one-half 5f one
per cent per annum.
This law was opposed by those who
predicted that a uniform tax on all
mortgages would raise the rate Of in-
terest and the tax would thus fall
wholly on borrowers. It was predicted
also that the amount OF money offered
for loans secured by mortgage would
be reduced. This is exactly what hap.
pened. as will more fully appear In
