publicity are in my mind the three things that will set the railroads right with the people in the end. But, mean while. the men who have the responsi- bilities of the railroads on their shoul- ders must keep to their task and not give them over into incompetent hands. There'n be no trouble about training up the men to run the railroads in the next generation if the proper conditions and discipline are established.
 And will there be the work to do. if confidence is restored and the proper relationships established? Of course there will. There is as great a possi- bility of growth ahead of the railroads in the next ten years if only we go at it rightly Within the lifetime of some of our children the population of this country no doubt will have reached 200,000,000. and, the system of Ameri can railroading that has developed to meet the needs of s0,000,000 of people is in its infancy. But, as I have said the self-seeker has got to be eliminated and the people at large have got to come to an appreciation of the under
 lying relationships of the factors in the problem. When those two things are in process of accomplishment it vii bs time enough to talk about retirins."- New York Times.

interest. If you ask me when believe an equilibrium will be reached and confidence restored, I say frankly that I don't know. The patient is now un- doubtedly under treatment that will prove efficacious in the end. but the question still remains whether the dis ease may not prove very serious be- fore the corrective treatment gets the upper hand.
 Where Railroad Men Have Failed.
 Mind. I do not lay all the blame on the public, or even on the politicians. The railroad men themselves are to blame for a great deal of what has happened, and they ought to recognize it at this time, when they have their own worries with them. If the rail- road men of the United States had learned to trust each other years ago q great deal of what has been suffer- ed would have been avoided. There was a time when they had the right to make agreements covering traffic and rates, but what was the result? An agreement was hardly made before somebody whom it bound. issued an order violating it's provisions. That sort of thing was the root of destruc- tive competition and subjected the railroads to much of the trouble that they have suffered since in being made the victims of any one who wanted 10 build an unnecessary com petitive line for the purpose of selling it out.
 'I am not opposed to railroad regu- lation. provided it is coupled with rail road protection. Long ago I expressed the view that regulation even to the point of allowing the Interstate Com merce Commission to fix the rates, was not to be combatted provided the government would allow the roads to make agreements with each other through the repeal of the sherman law. The protection of the public in the making of such agreements is the de- gree of publicity now insisted upon in respect of other railroad affairs, and of that I am heartily in favor. Sensible regulation. protection of the railroads against unnecessary competition. and

pers will be distributed, good results can be counted on. And it is a good thing here; it awakeas people. gives them inspiration for greater efforts, and helps to establish confidence in our business institutions.
 w. k. James said that between bus mess and the great mass of informa tion contained in the issue. he had had little time for anything else. He would have to get up early in the morning if he kept up with his reading. but he saw that there was q variety of mat ter ons a variety of subjects which would appeal to the many readers and their particular tastes and desires for knowledge of the countrys resources. He was sending out a quantity of cop ies to prospective residents of the valley.
 Andrew Miller, of the Hotel Adams Pharmacy. complimented the issue. and said that if there was anything one wanted to know about the valley it was certainly contained in the big edition.

labor organizations on the other. re- tween those who furnish the funds for investment and those who give their services to make the investment profitable.
 industry Upset by Restriction.
 Tt is quite obvious that restriction of business brings about uneconomical conditions throughout the industrial structure. When men are working on part time, or under limitations as to hours and conditions, there is a tre- mendous waste in earning capacity and productive energy. There is less money to be spent by the workers and consequently less business to be done to supply the wants they can afford. family makes one bag of flour go where two were used before; the old clothes are made over instead of hay ing new ones bought.
 Multiply this by eighty million and you can see what it means to have the nation ecOnomiZe. Add the distrust naturally produced among those who have the money 10 invest and there is a combination of forces at work with cumulative effect. the result of which it is hard to forecast Earnings decrease because of the slackening volume of business; capital becomes timid and rates for money high, and there is correspondingly less to be paid for the labor necessary to carry out the work that we have before us. The question of whether wages will decrease does not depend upon my attitude or the attitude of any other manager of industry toward labor. It depends upon whether we are going to have the money to pay labor to do the work that we ought to do.
 I believe that things will right themselves when people have had chance to understand the situation. provided that we eliminate the self seeker. What we have got to have in political and in business life is the man who is willing to work for others and doesn't undertake to move the pieces on the chessbOard solely with a view to what he thinks to be his own

plaint. He is also quoted as doubting if action would lie to correct an abuse that it is conceded no longer exists.
 MT. Knapp continued. according to the dispatch, as follows:
 As to the third case. based on Union Pacific ownership of Southern Pacific shares, there is a close question whether this constitutes violation of the Sherman law. The Union Pacific had plenty of connections to the East but only one to California, which is over the Southern Pacific system. In the event of the Southern Pacific fall ing into hostile hands at Huntingtons death Hartman would have no close connection. and would be forced to build. So he set about to buy in the Southern Pacific to assure the con- nection and protect his property. doubt if the proceeding will be held illegal.
 If a decision should be obtained holding that the Union Pacific control of Southern Pacific must be given up. such a construction would also apply to the New York Centrars ownership
 
 Michigan Central, competing between Chicago and Ruffalo.
 Again there is the Pennsylvania Railroad, which owns the stock of the Pennsylvania company. controlling in turn the parallel lines of the Pennsyl- vania west of Pittsburg. The number of illustrations is long. and the large question arises whether it would be for the public interest to have these sys- tems brUAen up into their component parts.
 Nobody can tell with any confidence how the Supreme Court will decide the case of the ownership of the Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific, as con- stituting a violation of the Sherman law.-New York Tribune, January f, 1908.

dam in this section of the state to
Case and Eschbach, Friday. The dam
will be 60 feet high and 500 feet
long and will be OF concrete rein

1t is to be built across Pleasant

week and the construction will be
pushed to the limit.
The officers Of the company are

Engineers have been working on
the project since early last summer
and the contract just let is the con-

The dam will extend from one side
of the valley to the other and form
a reservoir into which the Pleasant
valley creek will run. Enough water
can be stored in this reservoir to ir-
