RAILROADS "GETTING EVEN

The railroads are not lettering
their position with the people of the
country by the policy they are pur-
suing in order to show how bitterly
they resent public control and regu-
lation. Because of the demands made
upon them for discOntinuance OF
the rebate system, for the establish
ment of fair and equitable rates
without discrimination as to locality
or shipper, for reduced passenger
rates in a number of the states where
their traffic has grown to such pro-
portions that it is believed their
revenue at the lower rate will be
fair, and for a car service that will
meet the requirements of business.
they are shutting off construction,
disseminating special homeseekers'
rates, and in other ways trying to
"get even" with the public because
it would not longer quietly submit to
injustice.
There has been no falling off in
traffic, nor any indications of de-
crease. On the contrary, the demand
for railway facilities will probably be
greater during the coming year than
ever before. If business were falling
away, one could understand the rea-
SOnableneSS of the restrictive policy
now being adopted. AS conditions
are, the only excuse or explanation Of
curtailment is a childish display of
temper because they are not allowed
to keep on doing just as they want to
do, regardless of the interests of
those whom they serve.

L. S. WILL NOT DROP
OkANOGAN PROJECT
Delay i'm Construction is Caused by
Necessity of Choosing New
Dam Site.

The following report from the
Okanogan Independent of the result
of the recent visit of the supervising
engineers to the Okanogan irriga-
ton project sets at rest the grave
doubts felt concerning the fate of
that project caused by recent rumors
heard here:
ID. G.. Henney, supervising engi-
neer in the reclamation service for
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, ac-
companied by E. G. Hobson and A. j..
Wiley, were in Okanogan yesterday,
the guests of Engineer Christian An
dersen, who has charge of the local
project. The party came down from
Conconully yesterday morning, where
they had been on business connect
ed with the construction of the dam.
Mr.. Henney gave out the following
interview is regard to the purpose of
their visit:
The board of engineers which
originally passed upon the details Of
construction in connection with the
Okanogan project visited the project
during the past four days. The prin-
cipal point taken under considera-
ton was the Conconully dam. Three
locations within a short distance of
each other had been studied and esti-
mated on and the cheapest had been
selected. The dam site had been
thoroughly explored with open test
pits and wash drill borings and all
indications pointed to a firm, solid
and water tight foundation below and
at both ends of the dam.
The first construction work Or
dered was the complete excavation of
cutoff trenches. At one end of the
dam the foundation was found en-
tirely satisfactory, but at the other
end the mountain slope proved below
the surface to be lose and lacking in
not improve to satisfactory degree
as deeper strata were reached.
The additional WORK which
might be necessary to cure this defect
renders one of the other dam loca-
tions the cheaper and more desirable,
for which reason the work on the
dam has been temporarily suspended
until authority can be obtained from
Washington to resume operations at
the new site.
ut is anticipated that the delay
caused by the change in the engi-
neers' plans will not be long and that
work on the new dam site will soon
be started. Work on the bitches
was not discontinued"

News has reached here of the mar
riage of Miss Francis NJ Morrison
to Frank c. Schirmer, both of Nor
rison, at the Olive school house on
Saturday evening, May II, says the
Empire, Waterville.
This is the elimination of a true
romance of the west and is of nation
al interest, inasmuch as the depart
ment of the interior and the presi-
dent of the United States had much
to do with the consumation of the
happy result of a courtship that de-
pended upon the action of the govern
ment.
So far as the story is known here,
it is about like this: Miss Morrison
filed a homestead near the town of
Morrison, in southern Douglas county
on April 80, 1908. After living on
the place and making Improvements
to the amount OF several thousand
dollars, she met and fell in love with
Frank c. Schirmer, q neighbor. Schir-

to cross tie Mississippi river at Quincy
my anxiety was relieved. for the men OF
the besieGed regiment came struggling
into town.. I am inclined to think both
sides got frightened and ran away.
A few days later Colonel Grant had
an experience which once more caused
him. in his memoirs. to acknowledge
that he was scared. This was after he
had crossed the river into Missouri.
His description of his feelings just in
advance of al expected battle that did
not take place has 4 touch of humor.
This humor is quite justifiable. for the
regiment of the future general was en-
camped at the time In the little village
ci o-ila. Mo. the birthplace of Mark
Twain. and that individual himself.
then letter known in the ne;ghborhood
as Sam Clemens. who had just ell
listed in the Confederate service. was
doing his best to avoid an engagement
with Grant. as he confessed many
years later. There was q Colonel Har-
ris in command of the Confederate
troops in that vicinity. Colonel Grant
went out to corral Harris. This is
Grants description of what happened
and what didn't:
AS we approached the brow Of the hill
from which II was expected We could see
Harris camp and possibly find his men
ready formed to meet us my heart kept
getting higher and higher until 1t felt that
1t was in my throat. / would have given
anything then to have been back in ILL
nois, but I had not the moral courage to
halt and consider what to do. l kept
right on.
When we reached a point from which
the valley below was in full view / halt
ed. The place where Harris WAS encamp-
ed few days before was still there. and
the marks of a recent encarpment We're
plainly visible. but the troops We're gone.
MY heart resumed it's place.
1t occurred to me at once that Harris
had been as much afraid of me rs I had
question 1 had never taken before, but 1t
that event to the close of the war l
fronting an enemy. though I always felt
he had as much reason to fear my forces
as had his. The lesson was valuable.

service was In Oregon chasing the half
starved and half crazed Pitt river In
dams, tells Of his first apparent peril
and his trepidation. As this affair
turned ont, there was no fight at all, a
