Omaha advance.

Omaha advance.
. Coming closer home, let MS look at
the Denver and common Colorado
points which has been 40 cents per
pound, against the rate from the
South, which is "a cents. The rail
road is not content with taking from
the Oregon lumber mills the Central
States market, but has swooped down
upon the Coast mills even in Colorado,
where they propose to raise the rate
November l to 80 cents per 100
pounds, which is so per cen. greater
than the Southern yellow pine mill
rate.
"These are the actual conditions
which confront the lumbermen of
Southern Oregon. as well as Oregon in
general, and it is certainly not a very
cheering prospect. If the railroads
had been bankrupt, or the net earnings
had been too small to give fair rate
of interest on their Investment, there
might be some excuse for the advance.
You say, then, why is the rate raised?
l do not know. hut candidly think that
the real reason for the advance is
either the desire on the part of the
railroad to buy its structural material
at its own price by eliminating COM
petition, or it may be regarded as the
easiest means to get rid of a surplus of
business, which would require consid-
erably more rolling stock than they
care to equip their lines with at this
time. As quick and ready plan for
destroying the prosperity of the lum-
bermen. the intended advance rate,
however, will certainly do the bust
ness.
''The effect upon the country by this
cold-b -blooded and cody calculated plan
Of the railroads to curtail the output
of the greatest industry of the Pacific
Coast will bring not only dire ruin to
the lum bermen, but will throw thou
sands of men out of employment, and its
ruinous effects cannot but affect every
business man. large or small, in the
state. Eighty per cent of the cost of
lumber represents labor. These are the
conditions which confront the people
of Oregon today. 1t almost looks like
farce to spend thousands Of dollars
advertising Oregon in the East as a
country of great resources when the
first thing that greets the new arrival
is to find that millions of dollars in-
investments are lying absolutely idle
waiting for the time to come when the
railroads will again see lit to allow the
State of Oregon to resume its natural
business conditions

portion OF the hull. where the engine and
boiler formerly went is being covered bv a
low house, and it is stated that the interior
OF the hull Is being altered and cut I'D into
two or three rooms for club purposes. The
new houseboat, it is said, is to be lighted
by electricity and steam heated. and will
be the largest vessel of the kind in service
on the river. 1t will not be ready to 60
into commission until some time in the early
part of the spring.
The ferry steamer Columbia ran upon the
route between this city and Alexandria and
on the night Of May 10, 1903, she caught fire
and was burned at her dock here. When
the ferry company property was sold to the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Com
pany the hull of the burned steamer was
sold to Mr.. Joseph Heath who removed the
old boiler and machinery, leaving only the
hull, which was practically untouched by
the hre, as the boat sunk before the fire
got to the hull. Mr.. Heath still owns the
boat and the transformation into a pleas
ure craft is being done under his direc-
ton.

Representative Mondell of Wyoming in
discussing the forest reserve policy of the
government yesterday in the House, said
that no one could deny that 1t was policy
Of paternalism and Capitalization land q
policy which should not be extended in this
nation further than is absolutely neces-
sary." There must be and there will be
the hardship and irritation incident to pa
ternalism," he said. I'VE cannot get away
from them, and we of the west object to
having the reserves used as a means for
the increase of the cost of the products Of
the reserves to the people of that region.
From the time of the landings at James
town and Plymouth Rock down to the
present day American citizens have had
the right to use the products Of the ma

without let or hindrance. In the develop

ment Of their regions. and under this sys-
tenn we have grown and prospered might

,.I do not intend to criticise generally the

TONS OF ANIMALS.
Secured by Field Columbian Museum
Expedition in Africa.

GApSO1C1Ou III Africa
NEW YORK. January 3O.-A large and
valuable collection Of geological specimens
from the jungles of British East Africa
the result of nearly a year and a half of
labor on the part of an expedition sent
out by the Field Columbian Museum OF
Chicago. has just arrived here and will
be forwarded to the west in a few days.
The collection is in charge of Carl e.
Ackerley of the museum staff, who gath
cred majority of the specimens, and many
months will be required to mount and pre-
pare the various groups for exhibition This
secured with much difficulty and consid-
cred to be worthy of shipment from the
heart of Africa to the interior of America
weighs no fewer than seventeen tons.
The original party, which started from
Chicago more than year and half ago,
consisted of Vernon Shaw-Kennedy Chi
cago sportsman; Edmund Heller, a mem
Der of the Field Columbian Museum staff
Mr. Ackerley, also a member of the mu-
scum staff, and Mrs. Ackerley. After six
months in Africa Mr.. Shaw-Kennedy and
MI. Heller returned to civilization leaving
Mr.. and Mrs. Ackerley to carry out the
plans of the expedition.
The collection brought home includes two
elephants a group of African buffaloes
ranging from the calf to the full-grown
bull; group of lions, ranging from the
cub to the fuli-grOwn black-maned male: a
complete series of twenty groups of speci-
mems of the African antelope. ranging in
size from the dik-dik to the Gland, the
largest of the antelope species in Africa
numerous specimens of the monkey jackal
hyena. wild pig, rhinoceros hippopotamus
leopard. chetah and other animals and
scores of jungle fowl.
Mrs. Ackerley took an active part in all
of the forays for big game, and It was he,
gun which brought down two of the big
gest elephants killed by the party, de.
clared to be among the two best specimens
ever taken out of Africa.
The expedition started from Bombassa q
seaport on the east coast of Africa, with
half hundred Swahili porters, and estab-
lished permanent headquarters at Nairobi
in the heart of the jungle. From this point
the members worked in all directions, GOV.
ering thousands of miles during the thir.
teen months In the game country. As the
specimens captured increased in number the
expedition increased its force by draftine
from the native colonies, until at the end
it consisted of 21O men.
On two occasions while hunting elephants
Mr. Ackerley and his wife found themselves
in extremely dangerous position and
they were forced to kill two of the nam.
moth beasts in self-defense. Neither OF
these proved good specimens for preserya.
ton. Much difficulty and danger were also
encountered in staying the African buffalo
Mr. Ackerley pronounces the buffalo the
most dangerous, vicious clever and re.
sourceful beast he has ever encountered
Although he came upon herd of $50 OF
the animals in a remote spot which he
thinks had never before been hunted 1t re-
quired six weeks of the most painstakina
labor to obtain the six specimens he brought
back.

The immense majority of 6 to 1 for the
Initiative and referendum system in Mon
tana has just been reported. This Is ex.
ceeded, however, by the vote in Oregon In
1902 where the initiative and referendum
system was adopted by an II to 1 vote.
In Illinois in 1902 the people voted or

legislature establish a system of advisory

vote was in the affirmative, 8 to 1.
1t is evident that the voters are ready to

In a discussion of Congressional Wage
Boosting in the Current Trades Unionist
Editor William Upton Talbot says:
ut does not speak we'll for the fairness
and generosity of the American electorate
that the members of the national legisla-
ture should make reasonable raise in their
salaries with fear and trembling.
Living expenses are VIGOROUSLY high at
the national capital. When these are met
as well as other heavy drains upon his
purse which are inseparable from his posi-
ton, the most economical representative
is fortunate If his official income Of s. COO
is not more than exhausted from year to
year. Trades unionists should be the very
last to critcise a raise in wages on the
part of the Congress. At least they should
not indulge in criticism unless the increase
is very much in excess Of legitimate living
expenses.
Boost wages is the proper motto of trades
unionism, and 1t is good policy to welcome
to the ranks an wage-boosters, congress
sional or otherwise. And it is true, like
wise, that Congress has generally been lib
eral in fixing the salaries Of government
employees.
LAS matter of fact, $500 annually is
hardly enough to pay a representative of
the people of the United States. Certainly
q congressman who is not worth $4,000 q
year is not worth anything at ALL
