SATU RDAY, MAY %, 1903
A Million Dollars q Year


would be cut down 100000 a
year. In the last 20 years the
people Of the Inland Empire have
paid out at conservative calcula-
ton, SIS 0OO,0 in excess rates on
shipments from the east alone.
II it should cost Spokane $780,
0OO to carry to successful compile
ton its fight before the interstate
commerce commission the cost
would be but a fraction OF what
this city pays every year in excess
sive freight rates.
But the sums actually paid in
excess OF reasonable charges are
only small part of the real cost
Of unjust rates levied upon this
city and surrounding country. Dis
elimination in favor Of the Coast
cities throttles business in the in
terror, makes slow growth fol the
country's industries and prohibits
in large measure the building up
Of manufacturing.
In the course Of the last 10 years
hundreds of manufactured who
contemplated the building Of plants
in the Pacific northwest have come
into the Inland Empire and found
the field inviting, but, when their
investigation showed that freight
rates were burdensome, went on to
the Coast and located there.
Railroad discrimination, and
nothing else, has put two-thirds Of
the population OF Washington state
upon less than one-third OF the
states area west of the Cascade
mountains.
Eastern Washington has the
agricultural wealth; it grows SO
per cent of the states wheat yield
it has all the rich irrigated land,
the big commercial orchards, tho
live stock and the mineral wealth,
but these resources have been handi-
capped by excessive and discrimi-
mating freight rates.
Spokane sits in the center OF
vast region that has much greater
potential wealth that the region
around Seattle and Tacoma. 1t is
400 miles nearer the eastern mar
kets and factories; has the greatest
railroad system west of the Missouri
river, and if freight rates had been
right it would be the largest city
in the state today.
Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Pasco,
Colfax, Pendleton, Baker City and
other interior towns have all had
their growth retarded by the in
justice OF excessive freight rates.
And this is also true OF all the other
Inland cities west Of Denver.
AT last victory and justice seem
near at hand. The interstrte COM
merce commission has decided that
freight rates 70 all interior points
excessive, and in the Spokane case
decision laid down a. principle of
rate revision for the railroads to
adopt. But the railroads, reluctant
to give upa part of their excessive
earnings, have brought forward a
scheme with the commissions de-
cision, and they are using article
to hoodwiuk the public, deceive
the commission and cheat the in
terror.
If the large interests of Spokane
will provide the means needed to
clinch the decision the long fight
will soon end in victory. IT may
be necessary to defend the decision
in the courts, and some time and
money will surely be required to
complete the application OF the
commissions findings; but all that
expense and effort, with all that
has gone before, will be trihe COM
pared with the great gain that will
come with just freight rates-$1,-

Realistic HActino."

In full view of fashionable assem-
bly, of playgoers a terrible tragedy
was enacted the other night on the
stage of the National theater at Sara
toff, Russia. In the third act of the
play which was being given the hero
inc is shot by rejected sutton and
dies in the arms of her sweetheart
who arrives on the scene soon after

to the establishment of the audience
M. Tashnakoff, who was acting the
villain, made no attempt to shoot the
girl, but put bullet through the
heart of her lover, who was waiting
for his cue to appear, then shot the
girl and finally turned the revolver
against himself and fired. Severa
women in the audience tainted and g
great many other spectators sus
tanned injuries in the panic that en-
sued while endeavoring to force their
way out of the theater. The motive
of the crime appears to have been
jealousy, the actors having really rep
resented the parts they played.

he said. Your father and your broth
ers have shut up the entrance witt
great stones, and they will go up The
mountain and let themselves dowr
from above with ropes and shoot me-
like wolf in a pit-fall. But you shall
die first, because you have betrayed
me-"
So he cooked his revolver and SCI
the muzzle against her head, to xii
her, holding her by her slender throa
with his other hand; for they were IL
shallow water and he had dropped the
sack in the pool.
Baraka did not struggle or cry out
II would rather die by your hand
than be alive in another mans arms,
she said quite quietly.
He let her go, merely because she
was so very brave; for he did not love
her at all. She knew it, but that made
no difference to her, since no Other
woman was near; if they could gel
out alive with the rubies she was sure
that he would love her for the sake
of the great wealth she had brought
him. If they were to starve to death
at the bottom of the great rock wall
in the mountains, she would probably
die first, because he was so strong
and then nothing would matter. II
was all very simple.

WOMEN IN FIELD OF SCIENCE
Margaret Huddleson, Kansas City
Girl, Gives Instructions on
Fruit Raising.

Notwithstanding through the
huge white marble buildings of the
department OF agriculture at Washing
ton, one sees many women, III neat
white aprons, some of them mere
girls, bending over microscopes and
test tubes. Their activities seem very
mysterious; but when one inquiries,
one learns that they are engaged in
original research work relating in
one way or another to farming or
gardening.
The case of Miss Alice Henkel, a
botanist in the plant bureau, is note
worthy, if only for the reason that
she entered that establishment orig
inally in an ordinary clerical Ca
pacity as stenographer and type
writer. That was only few years
ago, when. mere girl, she came to
Washington from Cincinnati. But she
was the inheritor of scientific aptitude
from family in which there had been
many searchers after exact truth in
botanical and other lines, and she
quickly took up plant study as a pro-
fessional pursuit.
Miss Henkel, though still a young
woman, is the author of number Of
scientific bulletins already issued by
the plant bureau. One of these is on
the subject of Weeds" Another is
on Drug Plants"-this latter subject,
being one to which she has devoted
special attention. Up to the present
time more matter of hers has been
published by the government than
from the pen OF any other woman.
Miss Margaret Huddleson is an
other young woman scientist in the de-
partment of agriculture. She halls
rom Kansas City. Mo. Not long ago
she took high degree at college of
medicine, and is now full fiedged
doctor. This she did in the intervals
of her work as pomologist-thatb be-
ing her particular speciality. Her
most important business in the diyi.
sion OF pomology is to give instruction
by letter to people all over the coun.
try who want to know about how to
grow fruits.

hands were bleeding, for though he
was philosopher the thirst for wealth
had come upon him when he felt the
riches of empires in his grasp, and
the time was short; and although he
knew that he might some day come
back with armed men to protect him,
and workmen to help him, he know
also that to do this he must share the
secret with the overload of that wild
country, and that his portion might be
the loss of his head. So he tore at the
ruby crust with all his might, and as
he was very strong, he broke out
great pieces at once.
1--WE cannot carry more than that,
both of us together" said Baraka,
though she judged more by the sound
of his work than by what she could
see.
He lifted the sack with both his
hands, and he knew by its weight
that she was right. Under the water
it would be easy enough to carry, but
it would be heavy load for man to
shoulder
Come" Baraka said, Il will go back
first"
She moved down into the deeper
water again, till it was up to her
neck; and feeling the way with her
hands she went in once more under
the rock The traveller followed her
cautiously, carrying the heavy sack
under water with one hand and hold
ing up his revolver with the other to
keep it dry,
Il begin to see the starlight on the
when they had been going in.
When she had spoken, she heard a
heavy splash not far off, and the wa
ter in the subterranean channel rose
suddenly and ran past her in short
waves, three of which covered her
mouth in quick succession and
reached to her eyes, and almost to the
top of her head, but sank again in
stantly; and they passed her COM
panion in the same way, wetting his
weapon.
go back" Baraka said, when she
could speak; "the rock is falling"
The traveller turned as quickly as he
could, and she came after him, gaining
on him because he carried the heavy
sack and could not move as fast as
she. He felt his damp hair rising
with fear, for he believed that, after
all, she had brought him into trap.
They reached the opening and came
out into the pool again.

The First Standing Army

There are signs in the brickworl
that the towers were designed and
finished first before any wall was
erected. The order was not, there
fore, wall first and then towers on It:
but towers, and then curtain between
them. In China and in South Africa
there was time when it was found
wise to erect rows of blockhouses
near enough together to command the
intervening space by rifle fire, and nu
merous enough to stretch for miles
The line Of Chinese defenses appar'
emily began In the same way; only, as
they had no missiles that could be
thrown far and swiftly, a solid line OF
wall became needful at an early
stage. We can imagine that each gar
rison would be charged to build sec
ton of wall on to meet the builders
from the next forts and thus the time
would not be idly spent in mere
watching.-W. e. Cell. in Harper's
Weekly.

Lone Star State.

Houston, Textile Lone Star state
is proud that 1t has added another dis,
tinguished citizen to the nations list
of great railroad men. With B. f.
Yoakum shining light in the rail-
road business and James Stillman a
leader in finance and closely associ-
ated with the railroad interests of the
United States, Texas felt well repre-.
sented. but when Robert S. Lovett
was chosen to fill the vacancies
caused by E. H. Harriman's death,
there came more cause for pride.
While Yoakum and Stil.man have.
risen TO positions of great trust, honor
and usefulness. they have not gone.
the same route as that travelled by
Lovett, and unlike Lovett they were
born with greater advantages. Lovett
mad no advantages whatever. His
people were poor. very poor and are
still poor, living in common plank
houses in the backwoods of east
Texas, farming. working at public
works and following such other avo-
cations as will afford them a living.
Forty-nine years ago Robert Scott
Lovett was born on his fathers farm
among the hills and in the wilderness
of San Jacinto county, Texas. The
.outhful years of Bob Lovett were un.
eventful. He worked in the fed, as
did other boys in that bacEwoods Sec
ton, and went to school during the
winter and summer months.
Bob attended school at the First
Chapel schoolhouse, which was situat-
ed in the Big Creek Bottom, and there
he learned his letters and also how to
read and write. He attended this
school. off and on, for about six years.
His teachers were Professors Wager,
Wood and Weatherby. This old-time

Historians Agree That 1t Was Made
Necessary by Building OF the
Chinese Wall.

To describe the war-like use of the
wall properly, a military historian is
needed, who can set forth accurately
and technically all the strategy in
volved and the weapons employed. In
default of him, lay view may help
the general reader.
The very conception of chain Of
thousands of strong blockhouses,
linked by rampant, and stretching
over more than thousand miles, be-
tokens mind that can conceive great
measures. Vast resources were need
ed to execute the idea and to defend
the wall when once erected. A wall
would need an army of workmen to
erect 1t, an army of soldiers to defend
it. The trowel might be laid aside In
few months, the sword must be ever
ready. A mere wall without men be-
hind 1t can not delay an invader for
day. The wall of China involved a
standing army, and historians say 1t
numbered 3.oS0.000 men.
