AUSTRIAN STATE RAILWAYS.
Low Rate for the Fostering OF Ger
tain Industries.

Consul General w. A. Rublee OF
Vienna. furnishes the following IN
formation concerning the extension
and workings of the Austrian state
railways:
The operation of the state railways
i'm 1906 resulted in a deficit of $1,000
600 crowns ($16,S49,OO0). Even tax
ing the factor into account that the
state was forced to assume the own
ership of lines that were working at
loss. besides being obliged to con-
struct railways that were mainly val
liable from strategical point OF view
a considerable part of the deficit still
remains to be accounted for. There
is no double that this Is due to the
policy of granting, in some cases
minimum rates below the actual COST
of operating with the object Of fos-
tering certain industries. A striking
instance Of this is the freight rates
granted for sugar. The Austrian
beet sugar industry owes its import
ance mainly to its great export trade
which amounts to three-fourths ol
the entire output. This export OF
sugar Is only rendered possible by
these reduced rates. both on the part
of the state and the Austrian Lloyd
| steamship company.

all over the state by DR.. Elmer E.
Heg, secretary of the Washington
state board of health. the campaign
carried on by Seattle and San Fran
cisco health officials against the
advent of the bubonic plague has re-
suited in a decrease in the number
OF infectious diseases. such as typhoid
fever, while at Spokane and Tacoma
the mortality rate is about the same
as 1t was last year, During July, Aug
ust and September Of last year, Spo-
kane had 81 deaths from typhoid fe-
yer. Tacoma and Seattle As. This
year only 12 have been reported from
Seattle, while Spoakne had IS and
Tacoma !, for a corresponding period.
'I was recently talking with a man
who is connected with the San Fran
cisco health board, and he told me
that san Francisco had almost as
great a decrease in deaths from ty-
phoid fever as Seattle" said DIR. Heg.
This is due to the fight made against
rats and the general cleaning up tnat
Seattle had last year. San Francisco
had a lower death rate from infectious
diseases than for many years past.
It is now up to the legislature wheth-
er the campaign against the plague
is carried on throughout the state.
II the appropriation is made, rapid
campaign will be started and a gen.
eral cleaning up will result"

have improved it with a handsome
residence, a good barn and water
works, together with other buildings.
There is a splendid lawn surrounding
the ranch house, and half acre OF
pine grove adds to the attractiveness
OF the place as a home.
The property is damaged to an ex-

TO his knowledge of standing timber
and the future supply. Mr.. Weyer-
haeuser said his company had never
made an estimate of the supply OF

had never been conesidered as worth
anything commercially.
Asked the best way to conserve the
forests. Mr. Weyerhaeuser said the
main thing to do is to prevent fires
and added
"The only way to prevent fires is
to cut out the dead standing timber"

estation of cut-over and burned-over
lands.

LEE STREET BRIDGE
WOULD COST $4,000.

The county of Umatilla, joining the
city of Pendleton, could construct a
bridge over the Umatilla river at Lee
street for sum Of about 100000, and
one that would be satisfactory In
every respect and almost ideal This
is the opinion OF A. e. Eberhart, the
Walla Walla bridge contractor who Is
in Pendleton today looking. up the
prospects Of business in his line. Mr..
Eberhart has had the bridge con-
tracts of Umatilla county for the last
three years.
According to Mr., Eberhart the
$50 600 should build steel structure
of a single span; with steel girders,
and floor of creosoted wooden
blocks. This he believes would be
the ideal construction for such a
bridge.
Mr.. Eberhart also believes that the
Main street bridge should be likewise
rebuilt. and thinks that that improve
ment Is even more greatly needed
than the one in which the city and
county will join.
