the tremendous seas travelled as far IA Do
minica, and even did some damage there.
The difference in distance is probably about
900 miles. the difference in time is not 40
clearly marked, but if we say that the West
End high seas Of Sunday hight and Monday
morning are represented by the Dominica
high seas OF Monday night and Tuesday
morning, the difference would be roughly
"a hours. This would give the waves q
forward motion OF about IL miles an hour,
which is probably too low a rate for such
large waves. Pc haps the difference of time
allowed is too much, and it is impossible to
state it precisely but the interesting fact
remains that the greatly increased distance
caused a considerable delay in the arrival of
the waves.
It is scare ely necessary to remark that the
centre, and not the "tsil," of the hurricane
passed over Guadeloupe. and that the fact of
its not having "spent itself at sea-" was
proved by the heavy wave, which form the
subject of the paragraphs.

Oregon Sheepmen
In On Good Thing
WoOIgrOwerS Purchase Interest In
Salt Mine

Pendleton, Ore, Jan. 2s. Ore
gon woolgrowers have purchased
1000 shares in the salt plant
owned by the Idaho growers. The
deal has been on for several months
and was consummatcd last week,
the announcement of which WIS
made by Dan p Smythe, secretary
of the state association last night
at his home in this city.
The stock was purchased by
individual sheepmen most of them
being from Umatilla county but is
to be for the benefit of all members
of the association by which it is to
be taken over later. Through this
purchase Oregon sheepmen will re-
ceivc 500 tons of salt annually at
exactly what it costs to mine it
and lay it down at it's destination.
At present prices this means a
saving of SO per ton-
Idaho retains contI olling inter
est in the plant but the stockhold-
ers of thst state have entered into
an agreement whereby the Oregon
men are to be accorded exactly the
same privileges The plant is To-
Gated at Ogden.

authority to make general adj
vance in rates commensurate with
the increased cost Of doing busi-
ness. The railroad business muat
be given an opportunity 10 make
profits large enough to tempt
capital from everywhere to seek
investment In railroad securities
Men are not going to put their
money into such enterprises SUBJ
jcct to the dangers of legislation
and they would be foolish if they
did so unless the profit is great
enough to justify such risks. To
attempt to limit the earnings to
six per cent or even 10 per cent, or
to any fixed amount, is not only
absurd. but economically false, for
any attempt to limit the earnings
of Legitimate business undertakings
will inevitably react and cost the
country far more than the differ
cncc between a liked income and
the profit which might otherwise
be made Their own preservation
would necessarily require of the
railroads as favorable rates as could
be given with safety for them
selves and their future.
''Of recent years the public seems
to have come to the conclusion
that men with bulging bank ao-
counts are waiting eagerly for an
opportunity to put money into rail-
road securities, though the control
OF the railroads is taken from them.
and though other people who have
no interest in them are given
authority TO fix the rates at which
they can do business. The idea is
very faIacious. The capital
needed for railroad expansion is
not going to seek railroad invest
ments but railroad men must seek
capital with diligence. 1t must
be presented in such way as To
indicate profits large enough to
justify the risk, or otherwise those
who have the buiging bank sc-
counts will keep their money
themselves or else put it in secur-
tiles over which they do have some
control. AS field for investment
the railroad is no longer an attrac-
tive proposition, and this, too.

some of the old time vigor of youth

Killed at
GIenns Ferry
Train No. 5 Strikes a Man and
Kills Him instantly.

James Rcgan, an aged ranchcr
living near Glenns Ferry, while
piking up coal from the track of
the Oregon Short Line on King
Hill, was struck by passenger tram
No. and instantly killed at
12:15 Thursday.
The train was Immediately
stopped and many willing hands
hastened to the spot some distance
from the track where the body had
been thrown by the engine, but
death had evidently been almost in
stantancous as life was extinct
when the body was picked up.
The remains were placed in the
baggage car and taken to Glenns
Ferry where an inquest was held,
the jury rendering verdict of
death by unavoidable accident.
The deceased was a single man
and had lived on his ranch near
Kill Hill for almost twenty years.
At the time of the accident his
hired man who lived with him was
driving team along the outside
of the right-of-way fence while
Rcgan picked up coal and carried
it to the wagon. When the
engine struck him Regan was at
tempting to cross the track with
two buckets filled with coal. He
is reputed to have been worth con-
siderable money. A few days ago,
it is said, he sold half his herd cl
some 600 cattle.
No funeral arrangements have
been announced.

Record, published at Baltimore,
has the following to say:
s'The country's need Of more
railroads, OF the double Tracking of
present lines, of more rolling
stock, is in no wise changed by
present financial conditions. Even
if there should be slight let up in
traffic, this would not change the
fact that our transportation faciii-
ties are wholly inadequate to the
volume of our trade and that the
country is rapidly growing while
the railroads are not. The late
Senator German of Maryland. ten
or fifteen years ago, very wisely
said that the greatest problem be-
fore the people of America is that
of distribution. Distribution, of
course. implies transportation.
Every day since then has cmpha-
sized the correctness of Senator
Gornan's judgement Under such
conditions the cost Of transporta-
ton is of far less importance than
the question of securing the facili-
les needed We already have by
far the cheapest railroad freight
rates in the world--rates that are
the marvel of the people of Euro
pean countries. What we need now
is not low rates, freight or psssen-
ger, but "a vast increase IN facili-
ties for handling business. Of all
the absurd events of the last twelve
months ~ the railroad and political
worlds nothing else quite equals
the effort to force down railroad
rates. II is almost puerilc in its
shortsig ightcdness. 1t has cost our
country billions of dollars without
a redeening thing to the credit
side. Money for railroad cxpan-
sion cannot possibly be had under
present conditions. Infinitely
better would it be for the whole
country if the people would rccog
nizc that, instead of reducing rates,
he railroads must be given full

year has reached four hundred
thiI ty-six.
The new room in charge of Miss
Hibbs has forty-six pupils enrolled.
Mamie AXE after an absence of
one week on account of illness
has returned to her work
Miss Hattie Hinchliff, who has
been i'll for week past has taken
charge of her room again.
The first year class of the high
school has completed the subject
Of physical geography and is .at
present taking up their work in
Botany.
The Monday blues, SO consistent
with school teaching, we're nicely
dispelled by the Old Maids conven-
ton. Two of the teachers stepped
aside from the beaten path and
played the role of ancient spcci-
mems of unappropriated blessings.
The high school pupils are pro-
crossing nicely with their liter
airy work for programs which will
be given every two weeks. Music
by the members of each division
promises to be an interesting fea-
ture of these programs.
