 The Boston Transcript of March If, contains q write-up of the rail- road situation in southwestern Alaska, rurporting to come from some resident of Valdez. The ayti- cIc >avs that the Valdez route had to be abandoned on account of the impossible grades encountered, and that the Cataila route is the only feasible one. Speaking of the statement that the Guggenheim in- terests are trying to corraIl ali of the properties in the copper belt :, the article says there is no founda- ton for the report, as any resden, of Valdez knows. The author of this article has handled the facts rather carcl assly. Ii ne can find a dozen people in this section who will agree with the statements in this article he will do well. As regards the comparative merits Of the two railroad routes some of the best engineers who have visited the country say there is no ground for comparison, the cost of building up Copper river being practically prohib.tivc, while @ road can be built from Valdez with ease

Miss DeSmith," began the
young man, Il want to ask you a
hypothetical question"
The girl nodded assent.
IF a young man of good fam
lily and sound health and al III
sured incom of SIS, 600 were to
meet the most charming Of girls
and feed her ice cream for a year;
if she had a complexion like a
rose, hair a crown of golden glo-
ry, the hand of a fairy, the bear
ing of a queen; if she knew how
not to play the piano, how to in
duce her small brother to absent
himself; was versed in cooking,
competent to superinted a home;
and if the youngT an, auspiclous-
ly catching the gil alone, were
to murmur into her ear of pearl,
will you marry ME" what, in
your estimation, would be her
condition of mind, and what her
ansWer?'
while not an expert alienist"
responded the CIR coyIy, Il think
she'd believe him a chump for
being so slow, but she'd say
yes"
With the preliminaries thus
settled, the naming of the day
was but a simple matter.

Sweep of the Two cent Fare.

The popularity of the 2-cent
passenger fare is taking like an
epidemic. Nothing seems TO
stand in the way Of its progress.
1t is evidently generally iecog-
nized that the time is ripe for
it's adoption, and the states are
falling into line day after day.
Six states have already acted
within the past two weeks, or
given evidences of action which
means the 2-cent fare will soon
be adopted. Others have the
matter under present or pros
pective consideration with the
light of widespread example be-
fore them.
Nebraska and Mississippi are
the latest to take action, follow
ing Alabama, Missouri, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania. In
most of these cases the adoption
has come through legislative ac-
ton, but in one, at least, that OF
Mississippi, it was brought about
by the order of the state railroad
commission.
1t is interesting to note in the
Mississippi case, too, that sever
al of the railroads nave promptly
signified their willingness to
adopt the rate without protest,
and it is not expected there will
ba any injunction proceedings
restraining the commission from
enforcing its order.
There is, indeed, no good rea-
son that we can see why the
railroads should attempt to block
this legislation. 1t is an inevita-
BILE condition which confronts
them, and they might as well
gracefully accede to it. The de-
mand for it has become general;
it is sweeping the entire country.
Passenger earnings have grown
enormously in recent years, and
thousands are travelling now
where there were hundreds some
FIVE or ten years ago. Then, too,
with the enormous reduction OF
the free list, as the result OF the
new interstate commerce law,
passenger earnings are bound to
be further materially increased.
Georgia's railroad commission
has the same powers in this mat
ter as have been exercised by
that of Mississippi In fact there
is no railroad commission in the
country with wider authority IN
the matter of rate-making than
our own. This rate in Georgia
was reduced from 4 to 3 cents by
the railroad commission; it has
the same authority to make still
further redurtion, if it be shown
that the conditions and circum-
stances warrant it.-Atlanta

ais Greatly Worried Over
Question of Rates.

Belfast, April Accommodating up

the Belfast Newsletter says: $50
far as our staple trade is concerned,
it would appear as if the top rung
of the ladder had not even yet been
reached. and were 1t not for the
heightened time required by produce
ers as regards delivery, 1t is unques-
tionable that extensive contracts
could be booked, 1ust now, even at
the most extreme requirements from
a coast standpoint. America retains
the lead which it took in the con-
sumption of the lightest and finer
makes of white goods, but, while such
is the case, the numerous other class
es of linens continue in demand far
beyond expectations, even the long
neglected damask goods moving off
with a considerable amount of free
dom. Our home markets, which
seemed to waken up shortly after the
present year opened, have been TAX
ing goods in a steadily increasing
fashion. and there are certain indica-
tions that the volume will speedily
become much more in keeping with
what ought to be than what has been
in evidence during the past few years,
because whatever was the cause for
it, there is no doubt that the demand
IOf linen goods from our nome mar
kets has been wretchedly poor for
several years back. Spinners have
been able to add largely to their or
ders for line wefts, and the almost
record prices OF 6s Cd to Is for the
range of numbers have been paid for
considerable quantities, with a rather
heightened time arranged for de-
livery. Tow yarns have been in
steady request, but so far as they
are concerned, there has been the
same disposition shown to forecast the
future. Continental spinners, as a
rule, are not Offering much for de-
livery during the present year, and
indeed. it may be said, that the de-
liveries which they are at present
making opposite orders close upon
two years ago are anything but salts
factory to customers. In the manu-
featuring and the chief business
done was in light goods for dress
purposes for which some large con-
tracts were placed. Most manufac-
turers are now quite as we'll booked
ahead as they desire to be, and the
conditions, so far as delivery is con-
cerned, are in all cases of a most
unbinding description"

JOHN BANKS ATTACKED
BY GRANT COUNTY
WOLVES
Driven Desperate by Hunger
Animals Invade Old
Mans Tent.

Mr.. John Banks, an old man who
is at work on the new irrigation ditch
being dug twelve miles west of town,
was attacked by three bloodthirsty
coyotes about 10 o'clock last Friday
night, says the Deming Graphic. Mr..
Banks has his bunk tent some dis
tance from the main camp and was
getting ready to retire when the three
gray beggars of the plains surround
ed his tent and began ripping 1t into
shreds. The old man leaped out
into the darkness with the three
snarling brutes at his heels. He gave
out a war-whoop that aroused the en-
tire camp and brought immediate
help. When the alarm was turned
in CONSERVATION prevailed and the
word Indian was on everybody's lips.
However there was q patriotic eager
ness to get into the affray and when
the atmosphere had cleared up a
little, one lone coyote was found to be
very dead.
1t is something out of the ordinary
for coyotes to attack man, especially
when there are but a few together.
In this instance the wolves must have
been lOcOed.

I. RS RELATION
TO ROOT AND
TAFT
These Three Are More Like
ChumS Than Fellow
Officials.

Washington, April IA good
story concerning the relations exist
ing between President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft and the president and
Secretary Root is told by one who is
familiar with the goingS on among
those who comprise the first tier of
the administration. 1t runs as fol-
lows:
Mr. Taft's personal relations with
Mr.. Roosevelt are close and cordial
They are more like chums than mere
fellow officials. But the president Is
the elder and the dominating brother
This Is not merely true because he
is the superior officer He is the
more forceful and determined, and
it is likely he would dominate Taft II
their official positions were reversed.
The president and Secretary Taft
are much alike in habit of thought.
Taft rarely acts as an adviser to the
president. 1t is seldom he induces
the president to take his view of a
matter when ii happens the president
has views of his own. Mr.. Roosevelt
said recently that he and Secretary
Taft almost invariably looked at
things in the same way. He could
usually tell how Taft would view a
question before he opened his mouth
to discuss il. Hence. the president is
said to have declared, when puzzling
problems came to him, he usually
sought the advice of Secretary Root
rather than that of Secretary Taft as
to the best way of solving them.
Root when called upon for advice,
gives it to the president as he would
to client. A proposition is stated
to him and he tells what he thinks
about it. There is a warm friendship
existing between the two men, dating
hack to their youth and Root knows
Roosevelt like a book He does not
always convince-as rule he does
not--for in these latter days the
president has come to act on his own
initiative without consulting the mem
bers of his cabinet.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOc
RAILROADS
3Departnent$
TRA|NMEN LOST
s73O.0OO BY
DELAY

II is estimated that the delay in
concluding negotiations between the
western railroads and the conductors
about $73O,000. The expenses of
the committees representing the con-
ducsors and trainmen aggregated
about 900 per day, or about $4,000
for thirty days. The prolongation
of the conference set back the date
when the increase in wages would
become effective from March | to
April 1, or thirty days
Had the original proposition of the
railroads been accepted in February,
said a railroad official, the increases,
varying from to 10 per cent, would
have become effective on March l..
The continuation of the negotiations
in March postponed the increases in
wages until April |. In addition, the
conductors and trainmen, through
their organizations, bore the expenses
of their committees.
Both the railways and the conduc-
tors and trainmen appear to be sat
isfied with the agreement which they
reached. Both parties believe, too.
that they learned much that they did
not know before about the railroad
service.
AS far as the public is concerned,
the opinion seems to be growing that
all differences can and should be ad-
justed amicably, and that, if neces-
sary, arbitration is a good last resort
There is manifest a strong sentiment
against strikes or walkouts.

AWARDED DAMAGES FOR
BEING PUT OFF TRAIN

federal court yesterday gave "A verdict
in favor of NJ. Melvin. of this city,
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
company, for $3.50.
Melvin sued the railroad company
for $4,000 damages, charging that a
conductor on the road refused to
honor a ticket which Melvin claimed
to have bought at the ticket office of
the railroad company, the conductor
saying it was a scalpers' ticket. When
the conductor refused to accept the
ticket Melvin was put off the train,
when he declined to pay the conduc-
tor cash fare. The case was tried

ENGINE GOES OVER
AN EMBANkN NE.NT.

What might have proved a very
disastrous wreck occurred in the
smelter yards of the Pinos Altos mar
row gauge line about 8 o'clock last
Wednesday afternoon, says the Silver
City Enterprise. At that time en-
gine No. 4, drawing nine loaded ore
cars, jumped the track on sharp
curve just below the residence Of
Manager G. j. Laughren, of the CO.
manche company, and rolled down a
ten-foot embankment, dragging six of
the cars with it. Engineer Thomas
O'Neara and Fireman William Tarr
went down with the engine, which
rolled over about once and half,
badly demolishing the locomotive and
scalding the enginemen. O'Meara
received severe burns about the neck
and the back from the escaping
steam, and Fireman Tarr was scalded
on the legs. The injuries of both,
while painful are not serious and
both will be out of the Silver City
hospital within a week. a large
force of men was put to work at once
repairing the track and traffic was
not delayed to any extent.
