PERUvIANs AS ENGINEERS.

Next to the Romans, the ancient Pc
ruvians were perhaps the most effic-
lent civil engineers. Their roads were
marvellous. and one, the highway from
Quito into Chilean dominion, was one
OF the most remarkable roads the
world has ever known.
1t was 20 feet wide and 1000 miles
nj length, passing over snow-capped
mountains, through canons cut for
miles through the solid rock, and
across turbulent mountains stream
and rivers. The feat OF constructing
this road might we'll try the skill Of
our best modern engineers.

PORTLAND's AWAKENING.

Spokane's fight for jobbing trade in
Portland's ancient territory, has awak-
ened Portland to the fact that shippers
and producers of the inland empire
have been badly abused in distributive
rates from the coast eastward, for
years.
All of Portland's efforts are now
being directed toward attracting at
tention from Spokane's contention for
equal terminal rates with Portland
and other coast points. spokane's
fight for terminal rates is belittled,
and all the tongues Of Portland's ora
tory are now complaining OF the abuse
of the shipper and producer Of the In
land empire who is charged high dis
tributive rates from Portland eastward
and from the farm westward, from
the inland empire.
This same condition has prevailed
for ab years but Portland has been
content to allow It to remain undis-
turbed. Her 1obbing territory was
not threatened until recently, but now
she is alert and full Of fight.
Pendleton and the inland empire
want terminal rates from the east and
also they want lower distributive
rates from the coast. Both phases Of
the rate question can be remedied and
Portland has long had II in her power
to relieve the inland empire. It can
not be denied that Portland has in
fluenced the railroads in denying q
terminal rate for Spokane and inland
empire points. But II Portland will
now assist in relieving the situation

SUCCESS.

Success is the most badly abused
word in the world. The railway mag
nate who, by manipulating stock
markets gains possession of great
properties. regards himself as a sue
cessful man, The burglar who blows
open a safe and escapes with the
money he was after considers him
self successful. The buccaneer who
filled his ships hold with booty felt
that he had won success, and the
man who, for the qualification of his
own selfish desires, destroys the
home of another, feels, we may be
sure, that he, too, has been success

over $4,000 people were killed in

yet we hear but little from these vo-
ciferous peace advocates about the
suppression of tuberculosis, which Is
worse than war. If the peace aglta-

Two hurrying shapes meet face to face,
And bade each other stand.
"And who are your" cried one agape,
Shuddering in the cleaning light,

WOULD FIGHT RACE SUICIDE
WITH AID OF TRADE UNI ms

CHICAGO, July 16.-Trade unions
as aids to Cupid and antagonists to
race suicide was the novel idea adVO-
Gated at an interstate conference of
women workers held in the Hull
house. 1t was one of the first three
of that character ever held in Ameri-
ca, two others being conducted SIM
ultaneOusly in Boston and New York.
Miss S. P. Breckenridge, assistant
dean of women at University of Chi
cagO, appeared as one of the cham
pions of the idea and made a strong
plea in favor of labor unions giving
dOwrys to women.
I'VE believe in this marriage dow
ry," declared Miss Breckenridge. "It
places the marriage question upon Sc
rious basis. Unions have their death
and sick benefits, and marriage ben
eft or dowry would be quite in order.
If woman unionist is going to be
married she must be taught that it is
a serious undertaking, but at the same
time a plan that is favored by the
organization to which she belongs, the
experience she acquires by being
unionist and wage-earner will enable
her to spend the money wisely after
she is married.

Slipping the confectioner a brass

MAJOR BROWN GOES ON GUARD DUTY
IN SEATTLE FOR GOVERNOR MEAD

not a great deal to say about the cleo
ton of its employees. The governor
designated Henry Mclean as presi-
dent, and Strobridge's selection as
executive commissioner was decided
upon during the legislative session. In
his effort to relieve the state COM
mission from the necessity of doing
any thinking, the governor picked
the secretary, and instead of APPROX
ing the plan to attach the secretary
to the executive commissioners office,
he will locate him in Seattle.
The announcement that Maj. Brown
lieutenant colonel after Monday-is
to engage in newspaper work on his
own account in Seattle, was a diplo-
matte evasion at Olympia, but an I'M
suspecting public accepted the latest
one at it's face value. If he does any
independent magazine and newspaper
work, Maj. Brown-lieutenant- colonel
by the time he goes to work-it will
be as a side line.
Governor Mead is not altogether sat
isfied that he is safe in King county
without some one on guard day and
night The perennial candidate has
underwritten the Mead campaign in
King county, but the perennial has
been an in-and-outer with the Mead
administra ton. and the pledge the
Mead board of strategy has for the
perennial's support is kept under lock
and key, lest it drift back somehow
into the perennial's keeping again.
The military secretary of the gov
ernor is to make his headquarters in
Seattle, where he can keep a finger on
the public pulse and apply restora-
tives, if the Mead sentiment grows
weak. AS secretary Of the fair COM
mission he has a mission that can
take him about the state frequently,
and this is advantageous, too. In fact
the board of strategy and the execu-
tive have outlined "a busy season for
a military secretary who is to be re-
tired from service.

Inland Empire is called to take place

The meeting has been called at the

GIVES DINE TO DETECTIVE
Sympathetic Endeavorer Mistakes
Famous S|euth for Mendicant

Frank Kennedy. acting sergeant of
detectives, just woke up today to the
possibilities of pecuniary gain which
he has overlooked for the last three
weeks, while wearing his right arm IN
sling as result Of broken wrist.
The accident which put him on the
hospital list did not put the detective
in the hospital and he has been at
tening to his duties just the same,
says a Seattle paper. Yesterday after
noon he was on the watch for an en-
bryo Tracy in front of the Alaska
building and making mental notes of
his opinion of the weather man who
takes advantage of his official posi-
ton to unload Arizona tempera lures
on the Seattle public, when he re-
moved his hat to wipe the brow which
holds behind it the dark spots in the
past of every one who ever registers
at the city hotel at Third and Yesler.
The operation required two hands
and Kennedy held. his hat in the in
jured one while he piled the handker-
chief with the left.
All l get is SYM pathee," he gent
ly hummed in a vain attempt to be
cheerful in spite of the heat, but then
the song stopped, for just at that mo-
ment a sweet faced Christian Endeav-
Or delegate paused on the corner and
looked earnestly at the supposed un-
fortunate.

panion. He looks honest and he may

Mai Ashmun N. Brown, to be brew
eted lieutenant and retired,
will not drop out of the states employ
entirely, says the Seattle Times. Gov.
Albert f. Mead is going to take care
of his military secretary just like the
federal government takes care of its
war heroes. With a memory filled
of the gallant charge led by the mill
tary secretary at the legislative ball,
and the terrible onslaughts the major
has made against the executives po-
litical enemies in the preparation of
gubernatorial news matter at the ex-
ecutive offices, the chief will keep him
on the payroll.
The major is to be breveted lieu
tenant colonel, all right, and he is to
be attached to the governors staff
with no more serious duties than
those assumed by the other owners of
gold braid and handsome swords.
But it is an open question whether the
order retiring the major is to be in
terpreted literally. 1t looks as though
he is merely to be detached from head
quarters and sent out on a special
mission.
Lieut.. Col. -That-Is- Be Brown is
