International experts have pro-

been in operation over eighteen years
without any indication of the cessa-

oil will be passing through Norfolk
for Omaha in ninety days. This is to
be done by the cooperation of the
Northwestern railroad, the officials of
which have recently been over the
field and indicated a hearty inclination
to help the project. A pipe line will
be built to Lander, and Wyoming oil
of the new syndicate will be shipped
to the distributing center during the
erection of the pipe line.
During the past year prominent Of
ticials of the Northwestern, including
President Hughitt and Vice President
Gardner, have passed through Norfolk
number of times on trips to and
from the Lander oil fields. 1t has at
different times been reported that the
Northwestern contemplated the use of
oil as fuel on its system. The officials
have always been non-committal on
these trips.

eERMANY,s POPULATION.
Now Nearly e2,ooo,ooo People in the
 kaisers Domlnions.

From the Consular Report
 Although a census is taken in Germany every five years, the last one being in 1905. an industrial census was taken in 1907, in which the inhabitants were also enumer- ated. While 1t will probably be some time next year before the report in its entirety is published, the number of in- habitants in the empire has practically been determined.
 The entire population amounts to 61, 697.277 Gin 1905 6O,64l .27s), an increase of 1055,S99. being an increase in one and one- half years of 1.74 to the, 100, or 1.15 to the 100 population per year. Between 1900 and 1905 the yearly increase was 1.46 per 100. showing a small falling off. This may in a measure be accounted for by the fact that the regular census was taken ir the winter, when many of those who perhaps seek employment in foreign coun- tries are at home, while the industrial census was taken in the summer when many people are away from home. It was also shown that there is marked migration from the eastern toward the western provinces of the empire. much more observable than shown in any former census.
 The census shows that there were 3O,- 453 270 males and 31,244,007 females, an in- crease of males from December 1, 1905, to June, 1907, of ,5S9 and of females of 4S7, ,4l0 The large increase of males over females may be partially accounted for by the the fact that during the summer many workmen from Russian Poland, Austrian Galicia, and Italy find employ ment in Germany on the farms and on public works
 The industrial census showed 13, 459, 53O households, an increase of 1S4,9S9 over 1905. There were 2,92S,074 industrial estab- lshments, decrease since 1905 of 1S2, ,7S7.

ECONOMY IN ITALY.
The Roman Season Is the Only Time
 When Real Luxury Is Rule.

An Expatriate," in the March Every
 body's.
 During the greater part of the year we have only the servants that are necessa- ry; my husbands valet one butler, the porter who stands at the entrance to the palace, and general utility country boy who in the afternoon puts on liv- cry and acts as footman. The women servants are a cook, a scullery maid, laundress, and two maids besides my own personal one. This list is not as extrava- gant as the same would be in America. Wages are nothing by comparison; one can get good lady's maid for. $10 a month, a competent butler for $10, cook for $1O, chambermaid for $6. Their fare would seem coarse to the spoiled servant of America, consisting, as it does, chiefly of bread, soup, macaroni, and fruit with tea and coffee of an inferior grade, and fresh meat once week. We spend noth- ing that we can possibly help until ths Roman season. Then we have enough surplus to get an additional number of maids and a long row of footmen (these for the most part young women and men from the village of our own estate), and both in our country villa and in our Ro- man palace we open all the rooms that for eight months have been closed, and for four months live in luxury.

BANKERS PROTEST
 AGAINST NEV BILL

Washington, March 6-Chicago bankers have protested vehemently against the passage of the bill passed by Senators Gore and Davis and Representative Hep burn of Iowa or other measure interfering with the operation of the stock exchanges of the country or with the selling of com modities for future delivery. A petition was presented in the Senate today by Senator Cullom. It asserts that the pas- sage of any bill of this character would be disastrous to commercial and financial interests. The bankers say they are firm ly convinced that such law would in- fiict loss quite out of proportion to ...e evils sought to be erauacated, because such a law would interfere with the rak- ing of loans on grain and provisions.

From the Seattle Times.

From the Seattle Times.
 Just to show there are others besides Edward Payson, the 69-year-old athlete who recently walked from Portland, Me, to Chicago, Peter J. Panchot, 65 years old, walked to Seattle this morn- ing through the rain and snow from his home in Auburn. He covered 22 miles in five hours. or four and two-fifths 5 miles an hour. Panchot stopped only once on the way. That was when he dropped into Councilman J. w. Doyle's cafe at Georgetown to get light lun- cheon. With full gray beard and soft hat, and carrying long slender walk ing staff. he was a picturesque figure as he trudged into town at speed that would have done credit to a man of half his age. Panchot is 65 years old. but thinks he is just as tough ae Weston. He has challenged the latter to a walking race from coast to coast. He claims he won the title of walking champion of America in 1885.
