ANOTHER VIEW OF HARTMAN.

The San Francisco Star says of the
Harriman-Gould struggle in the rail-
road world:
The expected has happened. Har-
riman has swallowed the Gould lines
In the east because George Gould
could not get a beggarly $4,000, 900
with which to pay some notes guar
anteed by Gould's Wabash system.
Thus the Hartman crowd controls
the Gould lines from the Mississippi to
the Atlantic. Therefore, the Gould
lines from st. Louis to the Pacific
coast will not make trouble for Har-
riman.
It is a Combination In restraint Of
trade and OF honest government.
VIII the Western Pacific fight the
Southern Pacific in polltics7 Not
this year, nor next year.
We are not grieving that Hartman
has swallowed Gould. Let him go on
and swallow Hill and the other mo-
nopolists-the sooner the better. For
that will hasten the day Of public
ownership Of railroads. Hartman is
showing US what monopoly OF trans.
portation means. He is an advance
agent Of evolution.

VANILLA VERSUS vANILLINE.

In reference to a proposed petition
by French colonists to the home gov
ernment for protection against va
MILNE" which threatens their vanilla
industry, Consul Julius d. Dreher. OF
Tahiti, Society Islands. has compiled
the following from French colonial
publications:
The consumption of vanilline In
France Is $4,000 pounds per annum,
and of vanilla $4,000 pounds, but the
amount Of vanilline consumed equals
in strength 6.6OO.0OO pounds of va
nila, while the worlds production OF
vanilla is only 1,221,0OO pounds. The
$4,000 pounds Of vanilla consumed
in France pays the government a duty
OF $24,125. while vanilllne pays moth
ing.
Considering the strength of vanil-
line and its decreased price, as re-
suit Of improved methods Of manu-
facture it has fallen from 1886 a
pound in 1876. to s3.33. its present
price, and as 1t is claimed that a
pound of vanilline is equal in power
as a perfume to 100 pounds Of vanilla,
It Is now cheaper to use the chemical
for vanilline is wholly a chemical
production, without any vanilla what
ever in its composition.
The French colonists, who produce
more than one-half the worlds pro-
duction OF vanilla, do not ask their
government to prohibit the use of va
MILNE; they only ask that its fraud
ulent use be prohibited by law.

A SONG OF STARS.

Where the sky and mountain meet,
Twilight walks with timid feet,
Stepping as If half afraid
That IL any sound were made
Early stars might fade away
From the purple edge OF day.
Telling other stars; and so
Sheep might wander to and fro.
Travellers unllghted roam,
Ships sail wide OF shore and home,
And the earth, in sore distress.
Pine in gloom and loneliness.
Where the mountain meets the sky,
one star hangs its lamp on high;
Down the lane a country lad
Whistles-some sweet maid Is glad!
Two stars, three stars, four, and 10,
All the heavens are aglow
Sheep-bells tlngle near the fold,
Pilgrim feet again are bold;
Foam-wet, shore-set, silver sails
Dip and dance to home-bound gales;
Earth exults, for nothing mars
Twilight's miracle of stars!

must go up because the railways need
the money" becomes a plea borderins
On the ridiculous. and so does the
threat Of Vice President Brown.
There is but one solution of the
question of transportation-bu one
remedy for the arbitrary actions of
the railways. That solution and that
remedy are in the improvement of the
waterways of the country.
With their Improvement on the
policy of the national rivers and har-
bors congress, embodying a fixed ana
definite plan, continuous in its oper-
ations and with annual appropriations
for the work, adequate in amount,
there would come not only continuous
and cheap avenues of transportation,
but a freight regulator which not
even the railways of the country could
defy. while producer. shipper and re-
ceiver would reap the benefits.

ARE RAILROADS IN NEED?

The persistent claim of President
Ripley Of the Santa Fe, and Vice Pres
ident Brown, of the New York Gen.
trail, that freight charges must be in
creased or the wages Of the railway
employees reduced, is somewhat amaz-
ing in the light Of the official figures
of the increase in earnings shown by
the railways during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1907.
President Ripley plainly told the
Chicago Association Of Commerce that
freight rates would have to go up be-
cause the railways needed the money
Vice President Brown told the Chi
cago Shippers association that freight
rates must go up or railway employees
suffer a cut in wages. The dominant
note in each address plainly implied
that the railways were the masters
Of the situation, with no redress on
the part Of shipper or receiver.
When it is considered that the re-
port of the interstate commerce COM
mission, for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1908, shows that the rail-
ways increased their passenger reve-
nue. ;64,573,760, over the preceding
fiscal year; their revenue from the
mails ss.0o7,511 their revenue from
express companies 16,s32,001; their
net earnings from other sources $751;
7O1,ses, and with their net earnings
per mile of road operated rising from
.91ss, in 1905. to .s54S in 1907, and
10 ,3sss during the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1908. and, finally when

SONG OF THE PILGRIM SOUL.

March on, my soul, nor like laggard
stay!
March swiftly on. Yet err not from
the way
Where all the nobly wise of old have
trod,
The path of faith made by the sons OF
God.
Follow the marks that they have set
beside
The narrow. cloud swept track, to be
the guide;
Follow, and honor what the past has
gained.
And forward still, that more may be
attained.
Something to learn, and something to
forget;
Hold fast the good, and seek the bet
ter yet,
Press on. and prove the pilgrim hope
of youth
The creeds are milestones on the road
TO truth.

NATIONAL PARK FOR BAKER.

The Spokesman-Review says Of the
commendable efforts Of Baker City
business men TO secure a national
park in the Eagle mountains Of Ba-
ker county:
A number OF business men of Ba-
ker City. Ore. all of them staunch
believers in the preservation OF the
natural scenic beauties Of the country,
have embarked in a praiseworthy en-
deavor to have the federal govern
ment establish a national park in a
portion Of the forest reserve on Eagle
creek.
This section is about 40 miles
from Baker City and is noted for its
beauty. Professor H. B. Smith, a ge-
elogist, has recently returned from
the reserve and he is, perhaps, d.
rectly responsible for the movement
now on foot. His trip was made to
investigate reports of fossil forma-
tions found there, and on his return
he proved the stories true by bringing
with him nearly half ton OF fossils.
Professor Smith says that he has
found positive proof that in this Sec
ton there was at one time a great in
land sea, and that the springs, streams
and vegetation are worth the long
trip.
In presenting their argument for
national park, the Baker City men
are urging that within a short time
the Eagle Crek railroad will be COM
pleted, giving easy access to the park.
AS il is already in the national re-
serve, it is believed that it will not
be difficult to transform 1t into a ma
tional park, which shall forever be
kept for the pleasure of the American
people. Their effort for the preser-
vation OF one of the beautiful spots of
the northwest is commendable.

SPAN OF A woMAN's LIFE.

Before the last report of the COM
missioner of pensions, Rhoda Augusta
Thompson, the last pensioner who was
daughter of soldier in the revolu.
tionary war, passed away in her s7th
year, says an exchange. There are still
living two women pensioners, grand
daughters of soldiers in the conti-
mental army.
In this woman's life she saw many
changes. Since when, as tiny girl,
she sat at her fathers knee and heard
the stories OF how the country became
free. revolutions in industrial and So
cial life have changed conditions al
most past belief
The stage coach gave way to the
steamboat and railroad train, the
spinning wheel and loom to the great
factories run by machinery, the tallow
candle and the whale-oil lamp to gas
and electricity. The great unknown
west has been settled by people who
use as necessary to life things which
were either not invented or were lux
uries.
Then a narrow strip along the At
lantlc coast, bounded by the sea and
the unknown wilderness, with popu-
lation scattered and poor, was the
United States. Today the. country
stretches from sea to sea and over 1t
the sun never sets.
Then there were few feeble states,
bound in a loose federation; today, a |
nation Of the first rank. with common
interests, common traditions, looking
forward to a future more brilliant |
than We dream. In fact, we have
stopped even wondering what will
come to US, we are so busy getting |
ready for It.
In her childhood, teaching, and that |
only of very small children, was the
only vocation OF women, outside the
home.

She saw her sisters engage in the

cratic national convention at Denver.

Animals Slaughtered for Food In Ger


Consul II. J. Dunlap, OF Cologne,
states that the report of the bureau
of meat inspection for the German
empire for the first quarter Of 1908,
shows the following numbers of ami
males slaughtered for domestic con-
sumption during that period: Horses,
mules. etc, 35.9S7; oxen, 138,913;
bulls and steers, 1O7.S60; cows, 42O,-
753 heifers, 212,612; calves, 1,14s,-
342; hogs, 4,41S,214; sheep, 446,1SO;
goats, 1896. These figures do not
include all the animals killed, for
many are butchered on farms and the
carcasses sold, which are not subject
TO official inspection. Compared with
former years, the showing is a consid-
cradle increase. Prices for livestock
have remained about stationary,
though in various districts. owing to
local supply and demand, there have
been small variations In price, in gen.
eral perhaps a slight increase.

MURDER MYSTIFiES POLICE.
Seems Far From Solution of Murder
of Artist and His Mother-in-La

Paris, June 3. The Paris police
seem far from a solution of the mys-
FERROUS murder of the noted painter,
Adolphe S%teinheil, and his wife's
mother, Nine. Japy, which occurred
in the artists residence in the Rue de
Baugirard in the early hours of Sun
day. A number of the newspapers,
which are laying stress ca the mystic
rious element OF the crime, dwell upon
the fact the police refuse to allow any
one to communicate with Nine. Stein
he'll, who still is suffering from nerv-
Gus shock after her terrifying expe-
rience, or her sixteen-year-old daugh,
ter, who returned from the country
yesterday. They also point out that
Jewels which Nine. S%teinheil declared
Sunday had been stolen by the muir
derers were yesterday discovered in
a concealed safe.
The examining magistrate before
whom preliminary proceedings in the
case have been brought spent all the
afternoon in the Steinheil house on a
mission of Investigation. He found
finger prints on a small crystal clock,
which was handed over to experts for
a Bertillon examination. 1t is thought
that this may prove to be a valuable
clue in running down the assassins.
