Portland,s Girlless phones.

The Home Telephone company has
500 automatic telephones connected
up in Portland and is installing in

traversing Washington county, was
cut in yesterday, giving direct con-
nection with 1000 independent phones
in use in Hillsboro, Forest Grove and
other towns in that county. Leaflets
will be mailed to the subscribers every
few days giving the call numbers of
the phones installed. AS soon as TO-
600 instruments are at work the reg

500, 900 CHILDREN HOMELESS.
Divorces Break Up Thousands OF
American Homes.

Frederick ]. Haskins says Of the
growing divorce evil in the United
States:
On account of the general alarm
over the growth of the divorce evil
in this country, the national govern
ment is collecting statistics from the
various states with a view to throw
ing light on the subject and encour-
aging remedial legislation. II is es-
timated that there have been 100000
divorces In the United States in the
last 20 years, and that 1900, 900 chill
dren have seen their homes broken
up.
The full extent Of the evil can
hardly be realized until the forth
coming report is completed. because
only nine states now publish divorce
statistics. These are Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, In
diana and Michigan.
SO many absurd excuses for divorce
have been found that It Is no wonder
the comic papers find the subject one
that yields rich material for their
purposes.
A South Dakota womLn was re-
Gently given a divorce from her fus-
band because ne refused to pay for a
pair OF corsets she had bought. One
wife secured a separation from her
husband because he persisted in
stoning their neighbors' cats. thus
making her unpopular IN the COM
munity where they lived.
Another woman, who married a
carpenter, afterwards repented and
begged 10 be released from the union
on account Of the fear that, II she
ever had children. they would inherit
tendency to pound and make a
noise. 10
Mrs. James Alexander Of New York,
carried off the honors as a most
unique divorcee by issuing cards that
read:
Mrs. James Alexander requests
the honor OF your presence at the
celebration OF her divorce from Mr..
James Alexander"

A study OF the railroad development
OF the northwest is now engaging the
ablest minds OF the country, and
while it Is fascinating to watch the
movements now in progress, yet It is
impossible to say what the ultimate
outcome will be.
So many intricate combinations
have been formed among the big sys-
TENS, so many rivalrieS and so many
spirited contests for mountain passes,
seaports and favored locations have
been instituted, that It is impossible
to tell where many OF the systems are
at, in the combat for territory in the
Pacific northwest.
The following from the Lewiston
Tribune gives n new color to the
movements OF the o. R. & N. in the
Idaho and Montana section. The
Tribune says:
There may be a community of in
terest plan between the Milwaukee
and the o. R. & NJ" said W. P. Wood,
chief engineer Of the Lewiston 6
Southeastern electric road. while dis
cussing the railroad activity in the
Clearwater country, to the Lewiston
Tribune. "but there Is an independent
move on the part of the o. r. & N,
first to tap the timber reserves OF the
Clearwater, but ultimately to connect
with the Utah Northern at Butte,
Mont, and bring the ores OF the great
Montana mineral belt to the smelters
OF the Pacific coast"
Here in a nutshell, 1t seems, is the
best solution OF the present activity
for the o. R. & n. in the Clearwater
section. The joint traffic agreement
existing for the operation OF the
branch between Lewiston and Riparia
is sure to hold but this does not pre-
clude the operation Of the o. R. & n.
In this territory. Business sent down
over the joint line will pay pro rata
TO the pool, but the o. R. Z n. is
as much interested in the development
OF Independent business as Is the
Northern Pacific, and the construc-
ton OF the Huntington line and the ac-
tivity in the Clearwater country Is evil
dence that the road is pushing for
business regardless of the joint traf-
fic agreement
One need not look at present for a
Northern Pacific extension down the
south bank OF the Snake nor for a
road leading onto the prairie con-
structed by the o. r. & N, but an ex-
tension from Lewiston to some point
in the Clearwater timber belt, and
looking eventually to a connection
with Butte is a strong probability,
and wholly in line with the logic Of
the railway situation.
II will be noted in this connection
that Contractor Armstrong, who un-
I'll recently had charge OF the new
line, the Utah & Northern, is build
ing into the national park, has been
moved to the Huntington project, and
will have charge OF the construction
there, and that Engineer Jordan, who
has just come off on the Snake river
survey, has been sent to Montana.
All this shows that activity in the o.
r. & n. development Is sympathetic,
and points TO a connection between
work on the Clearwater and work on
the Montana side.

IDAHO AGAINST
RESERVE POLICY
STRONG RESOLUTION
HEARD IN LEGISLATURE.
Policy Of the Forestry Department is
Bitterly Condemned in Resolution
From Gleason of Kootenai County
ABUSES of the Policy Are Recited.

Idaho has taken a decisive stand
against the forest reserve policy of
the United States and will perhaps
pass a strong resolution against the
policy. The Boise Statesman says of
the matter:
The most vigorous resolution vet
introduced in the house was presented
yesterday afternoon by Representative
Gleason OF Kootenai county. It is
house joint resolution No. 7, and is in
regard to the forest reserve question.
The resolution, which is presented
for the legislature to adopt and send
to the Idaho representatives and SEN
ators at Washington, is as rollows:
Be it resolved by the legislature of
the state of Idaho: That the forest re-
serve policy of the general govern
ment as administered is detrimental
to the interests of the state of Idaho
in that 1t has resulted in a practical
transfer of Jurisdiction over more
than one-third of the state TO bureau
of the general government which has
substituted rules and regulations in
consistent with the legal rights of the
citizens Of the state under the general
laws by which the state is presumed
to be governed:
That 1t has included within its
boundaries more than 100000 acres
of land belonging absolutely to the
state of Idaho granted to the state by
congress under the admission act
which said act and the constitution OF
the state provides the sole means Of
disposal;
That the grant of sections 16 and
SO was for the exclusive use of pub
lie schools: That while congress has
provided for homestead entries within
forest reserves under burdensome
and impractical conditions the state
cannot hope for a substantial growth
under such conditions. as no people
would care to make their homes in a
section of the country subject to such
limitations and restrictions as will
naturally prevent the growth of COM
munities large enough to, bring
schools, churches and other institu-
tions incident to community life; that
" NiiC bCSb iilCiCSho VI NhO
state and the people the mineral lands
are included within the forest re-
serves and while theoretically they
are open to prospecting. the limita-
tions of the forest reserve rules are
such as to render it practically impos-
sible to secure an investment of suf-
ficient capital to develop mining
claims after the prospector has
found them, and capital will not, ex-
cept in rare cases, invest in mining
claims or locations within the forest
reserves as they prefer to operate
under well-defined legal rights rather
than permissions and privileges de-
pendent upon the pleasure of depart
mental forces;
That we favor the amendment of
laws where they are founa to be de-
fective, rather than a suspension OF
them, which means peoples rights to
be suspended at the will and pleas
ure of a departmental agent, and,
That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to our senators and representa-
tive in congress.

SUCCESSFUL NEGROES.
Long List OF Colored Men Who Have
"Made Good"

The New York Times condenses
from the Sun of the same city a list
Of the work of some of the living
American negroes who have achieved
distinction. Summarized thus the list
presents a striking testimonial to the
genius of the colored race. The Times
enumerates the following as chief of
these distinguished men:

fair and first prize In England for his
Oklahoma raised cotton.
Some Of the 35 patented devices Of
Granville T. Wood, the electrician,
form part of the systems Of the New
York elevated railways and the Bell

Why Tears Flow.

All human emotions, however slight
they may be, either decrease or in
crease the circulation Of the blood
Those emotions that bring tears cause
the blood vessels around the eyes to
expand, thus flooding the lachrymal or
tear glands with blood. The tear
glands always secrete little to keep
the eyes cool and moist and carry off
specks of dust through the nasal pas
sages, but the extra supply of blood
increases this secretion to such an ex-
tent that it cannot go off in the usual
way, so overfows.

Not long ago we had call from

ranged to sail for Europe two DAYS
later, and they didn't want to postpone
the voyage.
What would you think of a woman

had agreed to separation and that
she would like to put away the de-
ceased before the newspapers heard Of
their marital trouble? That is exactly
what happened.
Then there was this case: An elder
~ aunt, who had been an invalid more
than year, passed away. We were
asked to arrange for the funeral on the
day of her death, and when we de-
tant reason we were informed by
nephew that they were anxious to
know what was in her will, as the mat

upon what she was to get.
