Professor Henry C8 Adams, who Is in
charge Of the statistics of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, stated to-
night that beginning July 1stball rail-
roads engaged in interstate commerce
would be required to make monthly re-
ports to the commission, showing earn
5ings and expenses. The latter will be
required to cover costs Of operation and
construction. 1t is the intention to en-
tend the scope Of these reports so as to
include every form of expense.
This will inaugrrate real supervision Of
the government over the accounting pro-
cess OF the railroads, probably the most
important matter accomplished by the

The railroads Will all use uniform
system Of accounting, which has been
devised by the commissions experts.

Tale from Tall Timber.

Scott Cummins, the poet of Win
chester, Wood county, was a cow
luncher in the northwest many years
aA His outfit came to Snake river
one 'ay with 5000 cattle Cummins,
with a poets license, relates what
happened:
1.-THE river was too dangerous for
swimming, but after following the
bank short distance the foreman
found giant redwood tree that had
fallen across the river Fortunately
the tree was hollow. and making a
chute, they had no trouble in driving
the cattle through the log to the other
side.
AS the cattle had not been counted
for several days one of the cowboys
was stationed to count the herd az
they emerged from the log. The coun,
fell short some thirty head, but about
that time q distant lowing was heard.
"Their surprise may be imagined
when on looking about they found
that the cattle had wandered off into a
hollow limb. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

liver Alstad in Strike.

From a Milwaukee paper we note
that Iver Alstad has been employed as
cook on the Grand Haven ferry, and
belongs to the union; also that he is
evidently striker - as the follow
ing indicates:
Upon the alleged refusal of Col. r.
@. Butler, manager of the car ferry
Grand Haven, to pay the union scale
of wages to the two cooks. John
Bienz and Iver Alstad, officers of the
marine cooks and stewards union
called the two men off the boat yester--
day, and it is probable that a strike
of the entire crew may result. 1t is
claimed that the men were each being
paid $40 a month when the union
scale calls for SO. Should the man
agrr again refuse to grant the scale
when the officers confer with him the
entire crew, consisting of six firemen
and ten seamen, will be withdrawn.
The Grand Haven left yesterday for
Grand Haven without q cook The
crew was forced to take baskets of
lunch from Milwaukee. = All hand
were called off Saturday and they
may call of all cooks, firemen. sea-
men and wheelmen on the Grand
Hayen's steamers on the great lakes

his tears in the friendly shelter Of the

honesty by example and in all ways
headed for career of sin; but the
instinct Of human love was IL his
heart for that poor degraded father
and he sobbed and choked and could
answer only that his father was going
away and he did not know where.
Those hot tears, that little aching
throat were made by the system,

WHY NOT HAUGEN?

A recent editorial in this paper
suggesting the presentation to tn,
people of Iowa of the name of oul
esteemed Congressman q. N Hanger
of Northwood as candidate fol-
United States Senator in the event Of
the retirement of Senator VIM. B.
Allison seems to Eave struck a respon
sive chord in the hearts of many OF
the able editors of the fourth district
Various jmments, all favorable, have
been nj se on the editorial, among
them the following from the Ricevillt
Recorder. whose editor. Frank J.
Stillman, has for several years held q
government position in the United
States Senate. and acted as Washing.
ton correspondent for several of the
best newspapers of the country, sc
that he has had close insight into
national affairs and an opportunity tc
learn of the ability and standing OF
Congressman Haugen at Washington.
He says:
1T would seem to be the part OF
wisdom for the republicans of the
Fourth district to move with some
deliberat:on in this senatorial matter.
Several phases of the present and
prospective situation will bear inspec-
tion. For instance there are Fourth
district interests to consider.
Suppose Governor Cummins should
be able to win over Senator Allison
a year hence, that would foreclose the
Office for an indefinite period against
any other candidate or section OF Iowa.
The Fourth district has never been
honored by having United States
Senator. Why should not the Fourth
district sit up and take notice? Not
only is it desirable Office to hold
but it is even more desirable for a
district to have United States Sem
ator.
Has the Fourth district senatorial
timber? We think il has. How
about Hon. Gilbert n. Haugen, OF
Northwood, representative in Con-
gress from this district? Would he
not make good senator, and would
he not be willing? We believe lie
would, in fact we have understood he
would be glad to succeed Senator AL
lison when vacancy exists. His
name has been mentioned in this
connection by more than one news
paper and in political circles it has
had consideration.
1t is quite reasonable to suppose
that if Senator Allison is chosen by
the legislature two years from last
January for another term, that that
term will be the last of his public SER
vice. At its conclusion he would be
approaching ninety years of age. II
this is to be q game of politics why
should not the Fourth district play
the game little?'

The Usual Experience.

A good and true story is told of
farmer who does not reside more than
forty miles from Oelwein. He
buckled on to the notion that he could
accumulate more property by pur-
chasing most of his stuff from Chicago
catalog houses. When his wife
wanted gasoline stove he sent to
Row, Sawbuck & Co. and got cata-
log. Selecting gas stove from the
fine illustrations stove that suited
his better half he ordered it sent @.
D. d. When it arrived he paid his
money, and took the stove home, sup
posing that it was like the glittering
description in the catalog. The next
day the farmer, with blood in his eye,
drove up to the station with the stove
which he deposited on the platform.
He next made demand for his money,
saying that the stove was no good,
and that the tank leaked already.
He was informed thas his coin had
been sent to Sawbuck & Co. as per
request. and that he would have to go
to the Windy City if he wanted his
money back He left the stove Just
the same, and went away saying
things that the government does not
allow us to print. Register

CITY PRIDE.

Nothing boosts town more than
the pride of it's citizens. Business
mems associations. booster meetings,
and newspaper advertising, are of no
avail if the citizens do not have civic
pride.
Every town can not be large
city, but every town can be the dear
est place on earth to its people. Very
fortunate is such a place, whether
il rank as village or metropolis,
and fortunate are they who share its
life.
No town is perfect. The Holy City
has not yet been realized on earth.
But every city has some merit, and a
recognition of the merit, and an ex-
plotting of it by the people is sure
way of making the city better. This
does not mean that the citizen should
be blind or dumb concerning the evils
which may exist in his city. A
frank avowal of opposition to the in.
stitutions which destroy men and dis
turb the prosperity and tranquility of
the city, is altogether right on the
part of the individual, and very GER
tain to prove wholesome to the life of
the city. But the contention of these
lines is that personal pride in the
meritorious things of city ought to
be continually cultivated. It's culti-
vation makes the citizen better man,
and makes the city greater blessing
to the rest of the world.
Some time ago traveller entered
Denver, Colo, in the midst of a furi-
Gus winter storm. If there is one
thing of which Denverites boast more
than another, it is the number of
their fair days in winter. The first
person whom the traveller met was the
clerk in the hotel. who finding him a
'tenderfoot" exclaimed: Too bad
you came to Denver today. Denver
never had such storm as this before
What Going away tonight? Shaw !!
Better stay until tomorrow. and see
the town cutting its natural caper. /"
The next man whom the stranger met
was dentist on whom he called con-
cerning trifling matter of an irri.
tated nerve at the little end of one of
his teeth, who also recognizing him
as tenderfoot' said; Really, it
is unfortunate that you should come
to Denver such day as this. This. is
so unusual that our town doesn't
know how to behave herself Gil
mate? Well should say we have
c 'imate-the finest on earth and a
splendid city too"
A merchant doing business with the
traveller leaned over his counter and
said: Better stay till the storm is
over and see our city in its true
light Y5u will 60 away with false
impression today. This is very un-
natural in Denver. Beautiful climate
and splendid city here.
The hotel hack-man. taking the
traveller to his departing train, and
recognizing him as morning pas
senger, courteously remarked: Sorry
you are going away so soon, sir
Ought to stay and see Denver acting
right. Splendid climate and good
town. sir -
All the world knows that Denver
has some things of which she is
ashamed. but this traveller went on
his way with tender feeling aror nd
his heart for the city, industriously
spreading its praises abroad
