SUNNYSIDE PEOPLE REGISTER
STRENUOUS OBJECTION.

TREATED WELL BY COMPANY
Railroad Company Contends That
People Should Not Expect
Main Line Rates.

A formal complaint against the
freight rate on the Sunnyside branch
of the Northern Pacific has been en-,
tered with the state railroad COM
mission by Lee A. Johnson, member
of the last legislature from Yakima
county. Complaint against the rates
on the branch have been discussed
for some time, and the formal de-
mand made upon the commission
will doubtless be followed by hear
ing on the business of the rate. Many
farmers living within three miles of
Sunnyside and in proximity to the
branch railroad haul their hay and
grain across the country to Mabton
and Prosser on the main line to take
advantage of the lesser rate. On the
rate on hay, for example, Sunnyside
pays II cents to Puget Sound, while
Prosser. with greater mileage, has
a rate of 4 cents.
The railroad company contends
that when the branch was built up to
Sunnyside ii was the agreement with
the people benefited that they could

not expect to receive main line rates.
The volume of business on the
such an extent that people living
along the line believe they are justi-
fed in asking for some considera-
ton from the railroad company.
In fact, it is stated that the Sunny
side branch is as much of a money
maker for the railroad company as
any branch along the line of the
Northern Pacific.
This matter will no doubt be car
ried to the limit by the shippers who
depend upon the Sunnyside road for
their business.

THE PUBLIC BE JAMMED.

That's what the trolley corpora ton seems to say to patrons on the Baldwin street line. If you doubt us just watch the Baldwin street car leave Center square during "rusn hour and see how they jam the whole crowd into one car and have an empty car standing at the green ana send the other empties back to the car barns. We, of course, don't un- derstand why they do business thls way, and it really doesn't concern us. But it will be too late to change the program when some one loses , their life or limb. The writer saw the car las- Saturday noon leave Center square and there wasn't eVea hanging on" room unless youd hang on to the wheels, and car lying idle standing at the green. But 1t does seem to us whoever has the sending out of the cars doesn't drlnk our buttermi!h or our nice tasting tea or coffee If they did they d have more humanity in thnir mahe- I'D. Surely the franchise must say in some part of it that the public Will be carried with comfort and safety 1 However, if the public must be ! damned in this manner they must look out for their comfort when they arrive home, and you can take the l writer's word for it that a cup ot nice tea or coffee made properly will be the most soothing drink; but be sure and have the kind we sell.

leaped on his great black charger and
rode down into the mist as if his
senses were net in him.
From the foot of the mountain to
the castle high above the bride path
runs long way round; and between
bend and bend lies a great ravine that
neither man nor beast had crossed, 40
feet at the narrowest from side to
side. The edges overhang so that the
bottom is not seen; and when stone
falls one grows tired of listening for
the distant crash below. Alan Mac
donald rode straight for the ravine
When he came to the edge he looked
till he found plot of level grass, and
there he rested his horse for mo-
ment, and patted his neck and whis-
pered in his ear.
Nov, boy, now he cried The
horse sprang forward over the even
ground, gathered himself together on
the edge of the abyss and flew into
the air.

Alan Macdonald under his breath.
Then he saw his horse falling short

against twas hurled forward with
a crash-clutched at something hang
ing from above and held dazedly to it
caught the sound of a womans cry
chung mechanically to something. he
knew not what-heard a dull thud.
When he found the world again he
was lying in some long grass, he
thought, and there was something yet
softer under his head Then a wom-
ans face hung over him, framed in
the mist-the face of Mary MacAllis-
ter.

He smiled family. For you"
She looked right into his eyes.
why do you care so much for my

Because he was dazed, the fine
speeches that he had tried to fashion
would not shape themselves to an
end. So he said simply, Il love
you
Then" she said, since you won
my life, keep it. and DO with it as you
will; and he turned TO look up at her
without moan at the pain.
And because he was so helpless and
his eyes pleaded with her so, she bent
down her head and let him kiss her
red lips.

she vowed
And when Alan Macdonald was re-
covered, the clans went down from
the mountains. with white favors in
their bonnets, and married them in

have had their attention called to an
invention called the ergograph, which
is warranted to determine correctly
the real cause for pupils backward

of the class remarks casually thai

struck teacher need no longer throw
the blackboard at him. Instead, lie
can test him by the crgOgraph, and
find whether over-study or too niue

successfully in the London schools.
The glowing report of its success
may lead to its adoption for the
schools of New York and other
American cities.

The Third Term Menace.

While the leading republican news
papers of the country are, as a rule
opposed to the denomination of Roose-
welt by the republican party. there ap-
pears to be systematic campaign go
ing on throughout the country in favor
of it. Evidences of that campaign are
cropping out in such papers as the
Washington Herald and the Atlanta
Georgian, and in reading matter fur
nished by press bureaus and CORES
pondents to many country papers. The
plan seems TO be to build up a diStincI
Roosevelt party, something on the or
der of Mr. Hearst's Independence lea
que, which will be able to saudbaS
the republican national convention as
Mr.. Hearsts's league sandbaSged the
New York democratic state convention
last year. The promoters of this
scheme are proceeding by indirection.
Their lipe of argument is illustrated
by the following extract from an ar
ticle in the Washington Herald of
June &c, written in reply to an edi-
torial of the Brooklyn Eagle:

cause he failed to say a word about
