TWO WORK TRAINS
FOR WALLOWA BRANCH

Engineer Brandon came out from
Wallowa with a stock train Sunday
evening and returned Monday, says
the La Grande Star. One of the
object. of his trip was to see
about the preliminary arrangements
for placing two work trains on
the branch road. While the road
bed was put in the best possible
condition last fall there remains a
considerable amount of work to
make the track up to the standard.
While no definite announcements are
yet made 1t is the understanding at
the railroad offices that the two
trains will be put to work at as
early date as possible.

"wage Slavery"
Atchison Gl

AtchtSOn GloDe-
 The favorite cry of the Socialists is that the present system of industry is wage slavery: that this wage slavery is in many respects worse than the more ancient brand. where men were sold as chatteIs. The wage slave, so the Socialist says. gets his dole of food, clothing and shelter in money, instead of the commodities, and the employer is less interested In his welfare than when he had real money invested in his slaves.
 The folly of the idea must be ap- parent to any fair-minded man. No other nation pays its workers as much as the American workingman Is paid. Prices are high. it is true, but in no other land is the average pr comfort and luxury so high. There are evils to be corrected, it Is true, but the Socialists hardly know the way when. they ask for more than they have right to expect.
 As for the care of the aged, the sick and the needy. it need only to be ob> served that the last week has seen another railroad adopt the pension plan; has seen ST00.000 donated to fight infections diseases in New York City. that 1t witnessed Rockefeller's gift of a million to fight the hookworm and endless examples of the kind. to prove the interest employers and others are taking in the American workingman.

The Nerro,s Privileges.

NtW
 Time was when the decision recently handed down by the Supreme Court of Iowa holding that a private concern serving refreshments at a pure food show may discriminate against negroes and refuse to serve them. would have aroused a storm of protest through out the North. But however vigorous ly the two dissenting justices may have expressed themselves. there will be few to take up the refrain. Our progress away from our old views of race equality has been piecemeal, but for that very reason effective. The +lffocation of old beliefs has been so gradual that they have seemed to die "a natural death

TIP OF s5o,ooo FOR BELL BOY.

Nervous Hotel Guest Rewards In Her
 VIII Satisfactory Service. San Francisco Special.
 That Dame Fortune has not ceased to bestow her gifts on those who deserve them is shown by the experience of Michael Dunphy. who until few weeks ago was 2 bellboy at the Argonaut in this city. Last February Mrs. M. M. Potter. of Salem, Mass.- arrived at tho Argonaut, and being III and fiervoasi was the fame of the ..'bellhops" of the hotel Soon after her Affival "Mike, Dunphy. green lad, was gtvensa job on the bench. and his apparent green>f ness invited all of the difficuit tasks of . the bellboys, routine, Among other tasks that of waiting upon the queru lous guest was shifted to Mike" E He accepted the work gracefully and performed his duties in ansexeeptional manner, and when the guest left in the early part of June he was the recipient of many covert jibes from the rest of the boys on account of his willingness to oblige on-tipping guest Ee had his chance to laugh. however, when early in July he received check for $100 from Mrs. Potter.
 About two weeks ago Assistant Man
 
 ceiyed aqletter from BrowneSe Carlysles a Arm of lawyers in Boston. saying that Mrs. Potter had died. leaving a beqiest of $2.500 for the faithful bell boy. A check for that amount was in closed. cashed by Dixon and the money given to the lad. who immediately made arrangements for the purchase of a lot in the Richmond district. and contracted for the construction of a home on 1t. With what he had left over he took his aged parents on a pleasure trip to Denver. where he now is.
 His good luck did not end there. Yesterday Dixon received another let ter from the law firm, stating that, on receiving his report of the lads dis position of the $2.500 they were ready to carry out a further provision of Mrs. Potter's will. to the effect that if the boy disposed of his check wisely lie was to have a balance of s47.500. making the total amount $50,00O. The letter further declares that the lad may draw on the law firm for money up to that sum, and asks that an fn- closed letter to that effect be forward ed to him.

Herring . Play h The Thaetre She Went Away ana Repeated
 Every Word of It.

There lives in Chicago a remarkable young woman. blessed with Q beauti- full and wonderful gift. of whom the whole world will hear in a brief period of time. She Is Miss Ellen Won volkenburg. After witnessing a single performance of play she can repeat word for word every utterance or every role and interpret with accur- acy every infection, every gesture, every tone of voice and every detail of stage business. says wrieer in The Chicago Record-Her

She has large brown eyes, clear olive skin wonderfully beauti- ful teeth and 1.-the. strong. healthy body While there is always much animation in her face there is also at times look of seriousness that makes one feel that there is something about her that is not given to many. She is exquisitely sympathetic and there Is ever present an apparent note of extreme constituencies
 when I was very tiny girl used to play show" she said. Tt was al- ways that I lived in Fort Wayne. and. of course, the best plays did not come there. But my mother used to take me to the theatre. and after seeing a play could not rest until I had play ed show When we lived in hotels, as we have most of my life. the wo- men guests found much amusement in my performances. and 1t was part of my daily routine to gives parts of plays to little circle of women.
 My interests have always been in theatrical events and theatrical peo- pie, though must confess that know very few of them and almost nothing about the actual real life behind the footlights. But the drama attracts me strongly. If go to the theatre in 2 condition of mental repose. ab- sorb every word, every detail, every voice sound. Sometimes ] haves se- lected particularly important plays which wished to catch entire. l have gone to them in state of her vous excitement thinking I must try to remember. found I could not.

 Revealed Defect in Play.
 'Tn Ann Arbor some time ago, said she T was visited by an actor named Emmet Kirk. He rather doubt ed my clafxis, T believe, and wanted proof. He brought with him the man uscript of a one-act play which he had just completed. The manuscript had never been out of his own hands and he knew that had had no possi- ble means of access to 1t It was weird story about an absinthe nend who dreams that he did not care Tor the subject of the story. He took the manuscript of the play and read It through with all the dramatic ges- ture and regular stage manner of speech. In one part the absinthe fiend opens a safe takes out bag of gold and then lifts a chair and crashes 1t to the floor When he had finished started with the opening speech. He tells me followed the text word for word. and moved about just as he had done. When came to the safe incident I went through the same business, put when " chfhc to hAtiu6 the make-believe chair I couldn't do 1t.
 "T still have the money in my hand, I said to him. 1t is heavy. I must put 1t somewhere before I pick up the chair. It was something he had not thought of when he wrote in the play business"
 Very Sensitive.
 Naturally Miss Van Volkenburg meets many. people-particlarly men of scientific turn of mind or with an interest in matters psychological who like to inquire concerning her almost uncannability to reproduce the entire text of play and who fell an inclination to see the source of her wonderful powers of initiative inter- pertation. This produces strange ner- vous sensitiveness that makes her most unhappy.
 T have such a horror of being re- garded as some strange freak" she said as mist appeared in her eyes. Tt isn't that I fear investigation. for do not. I have given proof of my ability over and over again. But to have scientific men look me over as if were not normal being seems hideous. I would give up my work before would be looked upon in that light. It Is such an unpleasant thought"
