Japanese.
Conditions Are Improving.
While there are still many COM
Ilaints of outrages of various kinds

much better than formerly, the Jap

Of a radio active compound, which

titute for radium commercially.
The discovery is credited to one
Andre Lancien, a young medical
student. The compound 10 tech-
nicslly known as molybdate OF ura-
mum. and is created by the action
Of molybdate OF ammonia on az
otate Of uranyl. According to the
report, a demonstration OF the
radio activity Of the substances was
made before leading French sc'en-
t,sts at the Academy OF Science ~
Paris. A mixture OF these two
chemicals produced q white pre-
o,pi.ate, which after standing
thirty-six hours assumed q golden
yellow color. In which condition

Our Trust in Mr.. GARFIELD.
Why this beefing at the Beef Trust
When the butchers bills to pay.
And this gassing at the Gas Trust
While the meter ticks away?
Idle is our protestation,
Since the Garfi'd demonstration
That the trusts are philanthropic
And their business DOESN'T pay.
Do not freeze the timid Ice Trust
With your crabbid words and cross,
Do not roast the genial Coal Trust
Or condemn its manly boss,
For you hadn't ought to do it
Mr.. Garfield look ed into it,
And he says the trusts are HARM
less,
And are running at loss.
1t is not the peoples money
Which Carnegie is returning;
It 10 not the nations petrol
Which the Standard Oil is burning.
Mr.. Garfield says the oodles
OF bonds, bullions, banks, and boo
dies
Are mere optical illusions
Which the combines are not earn
ing.
II the tax upon potatoes
Makes you pine for pugilistics;
II the price Of canned tomatoes
Blight your fondest optimistics,
Ere you call the trusts menda cious,
Kindly call on Mr.. Garfield,
Who will show you his statistics.

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES.
From European Ports TO Philadelphia
People Only.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2.-Heavy reduc-
tons in westhound transatlantic
freight rates from Continental ports
to Philadelphia are Just announced
ms the result of conference by the
great "pool" lines in Germany The
drop in rates. which ranges from over
- to 40 per cent. comes into effect
today and will apply dGring-the whole
OF the year. This reduction on ocean
rates applies only to shipments or
goods consigned to importers at Phil
adelphia. There will he no change in
the existing rates t. New York, Bos-
ton and Baltimore. To all those ports
the present rates are to be tsrictly
maintained.
A year ago the pool" lines got to.
gether and lifted rates sharply, but the
Cosmopolitan line steered a straight
course and got all the traffic so its
rivals have now made this enormous
reduction with view to beating 1t
out of the market. BY the reductions
hundreds of thousands of dollars will
he saved Philadelphia importers. The
"pool" lines are the Hamburg Ameri-
can, North German Lloyd, and the
Red Star. Reduced rates vii! apply
from Hamburg, Gremen and Antwerp.

Recognition of Pendleton's impcrt-
ance as a railroad center for Oregon
Washington and Idaho has been
shown by the federal government
through the designation of this place
us headquarters for the federal stock
inspection in the moi thwest.
BY action of the government the
states of Oregon. Washington and Ida
no have been made into an additional
western district and DR.. +. ". Nc
Clure, now of Montana, has been or
dered to take supervision over the
same. He is expected here today.
In the past the northwest states
have not Leen in a separate district
and the work has all been carried on
under the direction of Colonel Hickox
head of the bureau of animal Industry
in the west. He has headquarters at
Salt Lake.
In view of the importance of the
stock industry in this section it is re-
garded as very fortunate that Pendle-
ton will be the headquarters for the
district. With the headquarters for
tins State Woolgrowers' association
here and the federal inspection also
the stockmen of eastern Oregon should
he well protected.
Should a bill proI osed by the sheep
men pass the legislature at the COM
ing session the federal inspectors will
take charge of the dipping work in
this state with the object of SO clean
ing out the scab that the federal
quarantine may be removed.
AS far as is known at this time the
changing of the headquarters to this
place will not affect either of the 10
cal federal stock inspectors. Neither
DR.. Pinkerton nor DR.. Lytle have yet
received any instructions regarding
changes in their work.
