ILLUSTRATION OF
 LOHGDELAYEDF FREIGHT

-(IeI99ds)-'eI GBE 'Sv1DlOd
 Yesterday at the Douglas Lumber
 company yards in this city there was
 an incident which illustrated with
 what facility the railroads were hand ling cars between the mills in Texas and the lumber yards in this city.
 While unloading a car of lumber the men at work tumbled a nest of young Texas mocking birds, which had been
 matched in the car since it was load ed somewhere in Texas. When the nest fell to the floor when pulled out with the lumber the little birds set up
 a chattering which brought the mother bird from one corner of the car and
 she assailed the men unloading the
 car with such fury that they had to retreat
 This car-of, lumber -had evidently
 been Jeff sitting on some lonely side track for several weeks and, afford ling quiet place for matching a brood.
 the old bird layed the eggs and then sat upon them until the birds were
 brought forth.
 Lumber is not the only freight that is subject to long delays in coming to Douglas and we presume the same condition exists as to other Arizona points. Machinery is an article Of freight on which no calculation can be made or the time Of delivery after shipments. Machinery and lumber can neither be injured in transit and being of the imperishabie class when ever train becomes overloaded with local or perishabie freight 1he lumber and machinery goes to the first side track available,
 The manager of the Douglas Lam her company will have some bird cages made. SO in future he will be ready to give proper care for the Tex a2 mocking birds.

NOTHING DOING
 IS TIE SONG
And Prospects Are Not Bright for Any Change for Some
 Time to Come.
fBy Frank !. Graf.1

There is absolutely nothing doing in the market; the entire thing is a waiting game, and is only Q matter Of time before there will be something doing in the market. Holders of stocks that expected to sell out dur ing the high prices failed to do so, and are compelled to carry them over. while others do not intend to get into the market til early Tn the fall. The New York and Boston market showed weakness the the greater part of the day and closed weak. Eastern brokers and bank CTS would like to see the market re- act and get strer- -th, as there are many that are tii-l of carrying ac- count, and would sooner start off with new accounts. Prospects are not very bright for any change for some time to come

PAINE WEBER COPPER LETTER

Special Wire to Duey & Overlook
 BOSTON, May 15.-The report of the investigating committee of the Southern Pacific-Union Pacific was made known today and it was the sig nal for the traders to sell Union Pa cific and the other trunk lines. The coppers were very duli and showed no change worthy of mention. Stop over orders were caught in NorIn Butte at the opening, but later the stock had a fair rally. Quincy sells 'ex-dividend s4.50 tomorrow.
 The News Bureau compared Range and North Butte this morning fin favor of the former and it influenced some people into changing their stock We see no activity in pros peot and advise selling stocks on every rally to save interest for the next few weeks.

shannon-Arizona Railroad.

The time is growing near for the starting of the Shannon-Arizona rail road, which is to be built from the Shannon smeIter to the mines at Met calf. thereby opening up the whole dis frict Many people are deeply inter ested in the building of the road and appear to be doubtful if it will ever materialiZe. That the road will be built there is little doubt. the only question being just when actual work Twill be commenced on the grade IL Is a well known fact that engineers shaye been working on it for some time and must have 1t pretty well staked out by this time. Perhaps in about d week or ten days announcement will be made as to the building of the road. It will require some time to build the road and delay in material will most likely set back the comple- tion of it to some extent.
 New Opera House for Clifton
 It has been rumored for some time around the streets of Clifton that a new opera house would be built In the Sear future. Several parties have been organizing stock company for the purpose of building a $20,006 house on the Collins lot on the east side This would make an ideal location for such a building. as jt would he about the same distance from every section of the camp. Five thousand dollars have already been subscribed and those who are pushing the enterprise are of the opinion that sufficient money will be raised within the next few weeks to complete all plans.

Blsbee, May 10, lyUI.
 The market today is very dull; very little trading in any of the stocks. There are quite a few bids. Dur at very low figures, and the holders are yielding in some cases and prices are receding. Warren is quoted at s7.75 bid and $500 asked. still local bids of $500 fail to reach it. Wolverine is offered at s2.25, but very little trading. This is certainly bargain. Princeton is offered at 75 cenus; Bis- bee Extension at s2.00. Everything seems in favor of the buyer.

APRIL OUTPUT IS LITTLE BELOW
 MARCH
Two Companies In Clifton Dis trict Show Slight Decrease. Other Items From the Dis trict-kew Opera House.

For the month of April the output of the Arizona Copper company was 1916 tons of Bessemer cooper being a slight decrease from the month of March The entire plant is in good running order and it is probable that May will show slight increase. How ever. the A. c. company has reached the stage where an average tonnage of nearly 1400 tons of Bessemer copper can be relied upon. At the present rate, unless uncomfortable circum- stances take place, the showing for 1907 ought 10 be much in excess oi the past few years. No more floods are looked forward to for some years to come, that is if history can be re lied upon, and the A. c. company, as well as others. can look forward to a magnificent future.
 The output for the Shannon Copper company for the month of April amounted to 627 tons of Bessemer copper, slight decrease from last month. Tho Shannon is preparing to increase it's output at au early date, when 1t is expected that it will reach far above the present tonnage. When the new railroad Is built the Shan non company will be in a position to handle more ore. although it win be necessary to have more blower ca pacity added before the output can be materially increased. These things are now under consideration and will no doubt materialize before the year 1907 Is out. when it is expected that the Shannon will be among the heavy producers of the territory. Under present conditions the Shannon is able to produce more than roo tons per month. although the slightest inter ruption in operation means consider able shrinkage in output Six hundred tons average per month is not at all poor, and the Shannon will make that average easily. It has continued to increase the past year until now it is on solid basis and will be able to meintain its past record.

New Train Service


Report in railroad circles now
is to the effect that our local
passenger train will change time
commencing Sunday, Sept. 29th
This, however, is not given out
officially. Under the proposed
schedule one train will be requir
ed to do the work of the two
trains under the present time
card. The train will leave Fargo
much earlier than at the present
time and will return going south
late in the afternoon. This new
arrangement will be welcomed by
the towns north from this point,
as it now stands their mail SER
vice is very poor. We under.
stand that two fast freights will
run over this line commencing
Sunday. The question is now
asked, what about the fast
trains Nos. 8 and pig?

SHOWED In Northwest


Travellers who reached the city
from Alberta, Canada, say that
the Canadian northwest was
visited by a heavy snow yester-
day. 1t fell to the depth of eight
inches in many places and
completely ruined the standing
crops. The snow was damp and
chung to the grain, breaking the
stems and utterly running it.
The harvest is less than half
done in the entire northwest,
while in many localities it had
just begun.-V. G. Record.

Lyons--keene

On Monday Sept. %, at Cassel-
ton at 2:30 o'clockP. NJ, occurred
the marriage of Miss Mary Alice
Lyons to Mr.. John M. Keene,
both of this city. Rev. Father
Quinnlan, of the Catholic church
of this city, oficiated and tied the
nuptial knot p~ronouncing the
ceremony that united the lives of
these estimable citizens of our
county. The wedding was a
quiet one, witnessed only by
the immediate relatives and a
few friends of the contracting
parties. Mr.. and Mrs. Keene
are both well and favorably
known to our readers so need no
introduction. The Pioneer joins
the large circle of friends in ex-
tending congratulations and
wishing them a happy journey
thru life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Keene departed
Tuesday morning for North
Yakima, Wash, where they will
spend the winter, and where Mr..
Keene has large landed interests.

Electric Lights
HOPE TO BE BY
ELECTRICITY. GOOD PLANT
WILL BE INSTALLED. CUR
RENT TO BE TURNED ON BY
THE HOLIDAYS.

Arrangements have atlast been
completed whereby Hope is to
have an electric light plant. The
city council has been at work on
the project for some time, and at
the citizens meeting held some
time ago a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with G. S.
Moores, of the Hope Roller Mills,
and see what could be done and
have him putin the plant and run
it with the same power as is used
in running the mill. Mr.. Moores
was asked to take the matter up
and ascertain what would be re-
quired to make the plant a go
and report to the committee,
which he did. The committee at
once set to work canvassing the
town to find out what encourage
ment the citizens would give
along this line of Improvement.
The committee met with far
greater success than was even
dreamed Of. A citizens meeting
was held Tuesday evening, in the
council room, and it was decided
to have Mr.. Moores go on with
the work of installing the plant,
and the city would grant him a
franchise. He expects to go be-
low shortly and will purchase the
plant, which will be the best that
can be bought and if there are no
delays in getting material he ex-
poets to have it installed and
ready to turn on the current not
latter than the holidays. The
city will put in a number of arc
lights and a sufficient number of
smaller lights to light the city in
frstclass shape. Let the good
work so on.

Land Values Rising

The steady increasing demand
for land in the famous wheat dis
trict of North Dakota is not to, be
wondered at. AS the richness
of the soil, the abundance of rain
fall and the advantages of the
climate become more and more
apparent, prospective buyers
know full well that there is no
time to be lost in making their
land selections. In a region
where crop failures are almost
unknown, where land is sold
really below it's value, and where
a few years of honest toll will
bring a man comparative indie
pendence, it is only a question of
a few years when every acre Of
tillable soil will be bought up and
placed under cultivation by act
ual settlers. The proposition is
not an untried one. 1t isn't like
going into a brand new country.
North Dakota is a great wheat
state. 1t is great in fax, great
as a producer of all kinds of
vegetables; and if you would look
upon it's fields of oats and other
grains, you would understand
that the soil is good for anything
that can be grown in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, or any of the north
ern belt states.-St. Paul Farmer

WANTED-7O0O CARS.

1t is announced in advance of the
opening of the Lewiston-Riparia
branch of the o. R. & N. that 1000
carloads of products will be hauled
out over that line this year.
Think of the flood of products which
has been backing up" like the i'm
peded flow of a stream, for want of
proper outlet. Think of the in
creased flow of products which will
come from that rich and growing sec
ton with proper and adequate trans
portation facilities.
The lewiston -Riparia branch will
pay profit from the first train that
is run over the road It will soon be
blockaded with business and will de-
velop new industries, open up new
sections of tributary territory and will
multiply its traffic many fold.
The same is true of other sections
of the inland empire. The Wallowa
branch of the o. R. &c n. will be rush.
ed with business from the day it is
opened. A branch line extended from
Pilot Rock into the interior would
start the wheels of a dozen sawmills
and would multiply traffic from the
farm, range and forests of that rich
district.

BILLION FOR AUTOMOBILES.

The fact that in nine years the
world has manufactured $4,000 auto
mobiles, which sold for more than a
billion dollars, seems almost stagger-
ing. What is more impressive is that
last year the output was almost 200,-
600 and that the United States leads
the world.
This is surprising when we consider
that the industry is practically a
French one in its origin and pristine
development. 1t has taken the Yam
KEGS a very short time to get into the
game and carry off the prizes. The
industry now Is not only important but
is continually growing.
1t is generally supposed that Ameri-
can machines are less substantial than
those of foreign make. This is true
only in a relative sense. The American
machines are of all grades and speeds.
The great trouble in this country is
that the man who buys an ordinary
touring car, which ought not to be sent
more than 25 miles an hour, thinks
that he can speed it up to 40 or so

section of Colorado, will open up coal
fields of greater extent than the en-
tire coal belt of the state of Pennsyl-
vania.
This immense coal belt is yet prac-
tically untouched and is an entirely
new source of supply. Lying in the
central west, its opening should make
cheaper coal for this section, If the
government is able to wrest the coal
land from the spectators and land
sharks and preserve it for the benefit
of the public.
The coal land frauds of Colorado
are now at the height of the investi-
cation and it is sincerely hoped that
the new fuel district is not allowed
to become the prey of the syndicates
as was the case in Pennsylvania.
The country needs this fuel and it
should get it at a normal price in
stead of being compelled to pay divi-
dends on millions of fictitious land
values to the syndicates. The govern
ment will be justified in confiscating
this coal land If there is no other way
ir which to save it to the people.

THE NEWSPAPER MAN.

When Jacob Riis was in Pendleton
last winter on his lecture tour of the
west, he was asked by the East Ore
gonion if after his long service as
newspaper reporter and close associ-
ate of President Roosevelt in police
work in New York, he did not desire
a public office.
He replied: mo; there is not an
office in the United States which at
tracts me; the president would have
given me almost any place 1 would
have accepted long ago, but 1 prefer
tc be at liberty to act as 1 see fit, to
be free to tell the story of the wrongs
l see in my own way. l am simply a
reporter. I love to tell the story of
things as I see them and if were in
office I would have my wings clip
ped"
That was the estimate placed by
this world famous reformer upon the
calling of the newspaper man.
w. Storey Buck, an old Spokane
newspaper man, formerly chief clerk
of the Washington legislature, now en-
gagged in business in Lewiston, Idaho,
delivered an address to the students
of the Lewiston normal school, giving
his definition of newspaper work" In
his address Mr.. Buck illuminates the
"strenuosity of the profession" in the
following delightful language:
Newspaper men are like teachers
and ministers of the gospel, in that
they are educators, but they are un-
like these in that they devote a large
portion of their professional energies
to work that does not pretend to be
educational, that is, to entertainment,
and they are unlike any other profess
sional or business men in a hundred
ways.
Newspaper men are born, not
made by college. OF all the qualifi-
cations essential for success in the pro-
fession, "a nose for news stands first.
Second to this meddlesome disposition,
an ability to write clear, simple Eng
lish is important. Next in Importance
is the faculty of getting at the facts
