RAILROADS DODGING
THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW

Washington.-Th attention of the
interstate commerce commission has
been called by persons in the west to
the fact that the railroads are at
tempting violations of the eight
hour law governing the employment
of telegraph operators by discharg-
ing their operators, equipping their
wires with telephones instead trans
mitting all train orders by telephone
and then working the operators IL
hours instead of eight.
Numerous cases have been cited
where the roads employed two opera
tors II hours each day before the
eight-hour law passed; put on a
third and made the trick eight hours
when the new law took effect, and
then when the telephone equipment
was in they discharged one and went
back to the original plan.
The interstate commission held
that the law applied as well to the
Telephone as to the telegraphic
transmission of orders. The railroads
paid no attention, and now, on a
careful investigation Of the law, it
develops that the word telephone Is
actually used in it. Neither the rail-
roads nor the commission apparently
know this

RAILROAD SURVEYORS
HAVE MANY HARDSHIPS

Spokane, Wash-Reports from the
upper Locksaw, 60 miles above Koos-
kia, where the surveying parties of
the Northern Pacific and Hartman
roads are making the mad race for
the occupation of Lolo Pass, indicate
many dangers encountered by the en-
gineers. Pack horses are disabled by
rolling over trails, supply boats are
swamped in the treacherous waters
of the upper Locksaw, and members
of the parties have had many narrow
escapes in scaling PERCEPTIONS bluffs.
For more than a week the advance
party of the Hartman interests sub
sisted entirely upon bean soup, while
the leading party of the Northern
Pacific was eking out an existence
from graham mush. Of a pack train
of more than so horses the Hartman
party has less than 20 animals fit to
take the trail, and the Northern Pa
cific mules have been badly injured
by rolling from the narrow trails.
Large quantities of supplies and
equipment have been lost by the roll
ing of the pack animals and the
overturning of boats. The work has
been made more difficult by the
freshets on the upper Locksaw.

Athena, Ore, June 26.-The pro-
gram rendered by the Athena Com
mercial association last evening was
great success. The Oddfellow's
hall was rented for the occasion and
was filled with people. County
School Supt. Frank X. Welles, was the
principal speaker of the evening and
gave Athena some good points on

tisements that town can have.
a new feature of the meeting was
the organization of a Woman's Aux

In this the women of the city have
agreed to write letters to their friends
calling attention in those letters to
Athena and the country around. AL
so sending out advertising literature
which the commercial association
will provide. 1t is believed by the as
sociation that this correspondence
method will prove one of the most ef-
fective methods of advertising.
After the program was over the

basket social. Baskets of food con-
tanning enough for two people were
sold at fifty cents each and the pro-
ceeeds therefor are to go to an adver-
tising fund for the association.

The Armstrong law required the

Sage Brush Tea for Pests.

North Yakima, Wash-It has been
found that liquor made by boiling
sagebrush in water is a most effective
exterminator Of tree pests. Ed Hart
man, who is the foreman on the Pat
Mullins ranch, six miles out of the
city, made the discovery. He has
been using the solution for some time
and says that he has found it more
effective than any other spray. He
was led to the discovery by noticing
that none of the common pests ever
attacked sagebrush.
He then made the solution and
tried it in mis- orchards, with the re-
suit that the ordinary pests were
killed. In addition to this spray be-
ing effective, its chief advantage is
the fact that it costs nothing and can
be manufactured at any time in any
quantities. Mr.. Hartman has with
held the announcement of his discov-
cry until he had thoroughly tested II
by repeated applications in his own
orchards.

RETURNING EMIGRANTS
ANIERICANIZING EUROPE


One of the best students of emigra-
tion and immigration, DR.. Edward A.
Steiner, illustrates in an article in the
Review of Reviews the influence of
the old world emigrants who return
to their villages or towns and settle
down to end their days there. OF
course, such emigrants bring their
American savings with them and buy
land, redeem mortgages, open little
stores. This is generally known, and
the value of returning emigrants in
an industrial and material sense is
acknowledged by all.
The moral value of such repatria-
ton, however, is not so clear. Dr.
Steiner, after a recent visit to south
ern Europe, tells us that it is trans
forming and Americanizing the most
backward sections of Italy, Austria
and Russia. The returning emigrants
bring moral as well as material capt.
tai. They bring higher standards of
living, rational ideas about health,
strength and beauty, the gospel of
open doors and open windows, in
creased respect for woman, self
respect and proper conceptions of
family relations.
The returning emigrants want bet
ter cottages to live in and better fur
niture in the cottages. They famil-
iarize the population with such things
as tooth brushes and napkins. They
dress better and set examples in their
housekeeping and in their hospital
ity. They eschew vulgarity and filth
in conversation.
Summing up his observations, DR..
Steiner says:
81 feel certain that emigration has
been of inestimable value, economical
and ethical, to the three great mon
arches chiefly concerned, namely,
Italy, Austria Hungary and Russia.
1t has withdrawn inefficient labor
and has returned some of it capable
of more and better work. 1t has
lifted the status of the peasantry to
a degree which could not have been
achieved even by a revolution. 1t has
educated its neglected masses, has
lifted them to a higher standard Of
living; and has implanted new and
vital ideals"
From the American standpoint it
is distinct loss to part with the
"Americanized" aliens and receive in
their places new supplies of raw ma
teral. But there is some satsfac-
ton in the thought that in the. much
discussed Americanization of Europe
the humble, half-assimilated factory
hands, street cleaners, fruit peddlers,
farm laborers who return home with
their savings have so conspicuous a
share.-Exchange

RECORD CHERRIES
GROWN At FREEWATER

A limb of as fine Royal Anne
cherries as were ever grown in any
country or climate, and as many OF
them were brought down from the
east end of the county this morning
by three Freewater fruit growers.
For size, color, flavor and quality il
would be very hard to duplicate the
cherries not to mention surpass them.
The exhibition is considered all the
more remarkable since this is consid-
cred an off year. The exhibit how
ever gives no indication of a cherry
failure and A. E. Bostwick, on> whose
farm they were grown says his cher
ry and apple crop are both good. He
also says he has beep offered five
cents per pound for his cherries, right
on the ranch.
The other members of the party
were T. L. Ragsdaye and L. L. john
son, both well known fruit growers
of the east end of the county.
