QUIET Hour
THE SECRET OF A HAPPY LIFE.

I say to thee: do thou repeat
To the first man thou may'st meet
In lane, highway, or open street
That he, and we, and all men, move
Under a canopy of love
AS broad as the blue sky above;
That doubt and trouble, fear and PAIN,
And anguish, all are sorrows vain; &
That death itself shall not remain;
That weary deserts we may tread, :.
A dreary labyrinth may thread,
Through dark ways underground be led
Yet, if we will our Guide obey,
The dreariest path, the darkest way,
Shall issue out in heavenly day.
And we, on divers shores now cast,
Shall meet, our perilous voyage past,
All in our Fathers home at last.
And ere thou leave him, say thou this
Yet one word more-they only miss
The winning Of that final bliss
Who will not count it true that Love,
Blessing, not cursing, rules above
And that in it we live and move
And one thing further make him know;
That to believe these things are so,
This firm faith never to forego-
Despite of all that seems at strife
With blessing, and with curses rife =
That this is blessing, this is life.
Archbishop Trench.

For a Cooking Novelty, Try This.

Mr.. Harden prefers a plain sweet
potato pie, which he makes after this
fashion:
Take several sweet potatoes, and,
when they have boiled themselves
tender, peel and slice them. Line the
bottom and sides of a deep dish with
crust-the dish must be fully three
inches in depth-and upon this ar
range a layer of the potatoes, butter
ing them literally, sugaring them
freely and sprinkling them with nut
meg. Add next a layer Of very thin
slices of dough; sprinkle with hot
water; then follow with another lay
er of sliced potatoes, and repeat until
the pan is full. The top crust follows
and the pie must then be baked for
an hour or more.-From"The Apoth-
costs of the Pie" By Miles Bradford,
IN the Bohemian.

STitZerland'S Railways.

Switzerland has developed its rail-
way systems extensively. This is
particularly true of its electric lines;
the length, now open to traffic, OF
such lines already amounts to 1913
per cent. of the. total length OF the
Swiss railWays-as against 90 per
cent. in Germany. There are TWO
principal reasons for this-the large
number of tourists and the great
water power available among the
mountains. A high percentage of the
electric railway could never have
been built had it not been for the
tourist traffic.

Liouor Situation in England.

The number of retail liquor places
in Great Britain is less to-day than
in 1880. though the quantity of
liquor sold is much greater. The
policy Of limiting the number Of pub
lie houses has resulted in creating a
monopoly of the liquor traffic and has
increased enormously license values,
without 4 similar increase in the scale
of taxation.

ference in California did not exist years ago. Kelly said, only at some points. Practically 4O per cent of the business went to California in 1906, while prior to 1901, Slore than so per cent went that way and to Arizona.
 Kelly said there was good car ser vice except in 1905 and 1906; that they always tried to ship in the direc- tion from which cars could be obtained. They generally got cars for railroad shipments, but he said if he had de pended on the Southern Pacific this year, the mills would have shut down; but cars were furnished by the Or egon Railroad and Navigation com pany.
 Do you forward more cars for rail road business than commercial" asked Commissioner Lane.
 "YCs; you see the Hartman lines are building COCO refrigerator cars, and take material from this territory" he said. ''We took large orders. Its hauling stuff for new cars helps out, though they won't let us load lumber in refrigerator cars"
 Attorney Cotton proved by Kelly that while the latter has cheaper rates from his mills to San Francisco than Portland firms, he also has the same rate as local men when shipping east from the mills.
 Commissioner Lane adjourned the session of the interstate commerce commission until Tuesday, at San Francisco.

UMPIRE PLAY AT OPERA
 HOUSE
Mace Scores Big Success Largest Audience Ever in
 Theater-Chorus and Sup porting Company High Class

For clean, refined and wholesome comedy The Umpire" produced at the Opera House last night, is deserv. ing of first place in the theatrical records of the city and of the Terri tory. There does not remain the slightest doubt but that the play was written for Mace, because he had to do nothing but say something to send the largest audience that has ever en- tered the local theater into aproxysm of laughter.
 Owing to delays along the route from Fl Paso, the train bearing the theatrical troupe did not arrive in the city until shortly before 8 o'clock, and about 9 o'clock, after the greater part of the audience had been seated, the special scenery and trunks were brought to the Opera House. In the shortest time possible the curtain went up, which was at 9:45, and from that time on, the audience was repaid for the long and tiresome wait.
 The chorus, although well trained, and the various supporting members of the cast, are only incidents, be- cause from the time that Mace made his first appearance until the curtain went down after the final chorus, he was literally the whole show" He has a personality admirably adapted to the part of that most abused of hu- mn creatures, tho pas7 bail umpire who will dare face the vengeance of crowd of fans after he has committed the unpardonable fault of rendering a close decision against the home team. Throughout the entire performance he did not once indulge in the old-tinle horse play, by which some comedy teams have become famous, but in an original and inimitable way scored a great success in a part in which any other actor would be flat failure.
 Among the remainder of the con- pany Miss Katherine Bum was un- doubtedly the favorite, and deserverdly so, possessing a clear, rich and pleas ing voice. Others who deserve men ton are Miss Warrington. Miss Bake, Harry Hanlon and Bradlee Martin.

COMMISSION NAMES
-FOUR NEW AGENTS
Interstate Commerce Men
VIII Have Great
Power.

BY designating four Of its experienced
and trusted employees as special agents
or examiners, with powers that prac-
tically make them deputy commits
sioners, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has taken the longest step
which II has attempted under the new
law, toward increasing the efficiency
and responsiveness of its organization
to meet the requirements of increased
duties.
Hereafter the commission viii seldom
be found sitting as Il board 10 hear
testimony about unimpOTJant com
plants When something of sufficient
Importance is involved, several Of the
commissioners will sit en- banc: but the
usual course Will be for a commissioner,
or one OF the newly created special
agents, to conduct hearings and take
testimony which will be reviewed by
the commission before deciding the
case.
The special agents created at The
initiation of this plan are Martin S.
Decker. assistant secretary Of the com
mission; Patrick J. Farrell. John II.
Marble. and Luther NJ Walton. who
have been assistant attorneys 10 the
commission
The appointment Of these special
referees Is not to be COMPOUNDED with
the scheme Of locating representatives
OF the commission in important cities
to act as adjusteTs and arbitTatOTs in
differences. That plan, commonly re
Terred TO as the YOakum plan because
1t has been connected with the name OF
B. +. Yoskum, chairman OF tia Rock
Island board. has not been adopted, and
may not be.
Senator Dolliver, one of the trainers
of the new law. had a plan of creating.
under the auspices Of the commission,
adjustment boards or bureaus In DIFF
feTent parts of the country, in which
Of the commission and
of the railroads should meet together
canvass conditions. discus problem, and
reach adjustments by agreement, with
cur taking ali their Pco5taiRs II the
commission.
There is little doubt among the com
missioners and railroad men that the
tendencies Of the time are all toward
some plan of accommodation, adjust
ment, and cooperation. The step which
the commission has just taken is re
garded as in a considerable way a step
in that direction.
