May Force Him TO Tell.

New York. Nov. 13.-Argu-
ments of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to compel h. H.
Hartman to answer certain ques-
tions put to him during the in
vestlgatiOn of the railroad affairs.
was begun before Judge Hough.
of the United States Court today.
Thequestions that Hartman
refused to answer related to the
purchase of the stock of other
railroads in the interest of the
Union Pacific. and as to the Union
Pacific dividend. In regard to
the twenty eight million dollars
worth of Illinois Central stock
purchased at one hundred ard
seventy FIVE dollars per share.
Hartman declined to answer.
Hartman contends that in ask
ing the questions the commission
sought to 90 beyond the powers
conferred upon it by congress. and
that to force him to reply to the
questions would be to deprive him
of liberty without the due process
of law.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-15

And wrong should be branded wrong early
in youth:
The standard of virtue for nobody leans,
And falsehood can never be else than un-
truth.
There's gulf between noxious and innocent
More wide than the world. than the ocean
more deep:
A distinction 'twixt prudish and prudent
which none
Can mind or in morals too carefully keep.
Let boys, then, be boys, as they always have
been.
In all that is proper. praiaeworthy and
But let never one deem that from censure or
sin
The fact he's ''boyv will his conduct
secure.

LIFE'S LADDER
BY REV. P. B. STRONG.

BY REV. P. B. STRONG.
"Step by step we mount the ladder"
Doth the Turkish proverb read;
And double truth it teaches
To the one who stops to heed.
Hurrying the climber stumbles,
Meets with hindrance if not harm;
Better far ascend more slowly,
Sure of foot and strong of arm.
So in life's efforts upward,
We but time and trouble waste
When we yield to anxious impulse
Nothing eer is gained by haste.
And the other lesson taught US
By the saying is as plain
Though by single rounds we Chamber,
We the ladders top shall gain.
Fear not. then. nor faint nor falter,
As life's sleeps you seek to scale:
He who constant climbs, though slowly,
Cannot Of his purpose fail.

The State of Idaho has produced
Harry Orchard, who swearS that he is
the actual murderer of the eighteen
men whose death is not disputed. He
swears that he was employed by Will
liam d. Haywood, Charles NJ Meyer,
the president, and others of the West

for a price. The Western Federation
of Miners has produced witnesses TO
contradict the testimony of the self
confessed murderer and other witness

murdered because he was employed
by detectives in the employ of the
owners of mines and wealthy citizens
of Colorado to commit crimes that
might be laid to the door of the West

The State of Idaho, through its rep
counsel, will argue to the
jury within the next two weeks that
Orchards story is true.
The Western Federation of Miners,

reward being immunity from punish

dredths fell on Thursday. The week
was featured by the absence of clear
days. Saturday the Weather record
showed, was entirely clear, while the
others were partly cloudy.
The highest temperature was 30 de-
grees Sunday, July Z, while the mini
mum temperature was % degrees on
Saturday. The average maximum
temperature for the week was S41A de-
grees. while the average minimum
temperature was IS.
The weather conditions Sunday were
such as to make drive or walk really
enjoyable. 1t was neither too cold.
nor too hot. Rain threatened to fall
Sunday night, as heavy clouds hung
over the heavens. The rain of today
is not welcomed on all sides, as the
heavy rains of last Wednesday and
Thursday sufficiently soaked the
ground, and it is predicted that today's
wet probably will Go some damage.
1t will also delay the wheat harvest
for several days.

Many and curious are the legends Of
the kingdsher. One of these is to the
effect that the bird was originally a
plain gray in color, but upon being let
loose from the ark flew toward the set

by the sky and its lower plumage
scorched by the sun to gorgeous hues.
