Yesterday afternoon Wiley was en-.

SO many lesser evils are tolerated that
Il man should hesitate long before be-
coming dcad-beat. Criminals are de-
spiscd and abhored, but to the dead
beat I'LL that is coming, as well as the

derce which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against II dead-beat us soon as his re-
putatiOn is we'll established. The dead
beat may fondly imagine he is living
easy and making money without work,
and, of course, he takes no account of
the confidence he violates and the hard
ships he intiicts on others. But, that
aside. he really has harder time than
the man who is honest and fair. He is
compelled to move q good deal and
peace of mind he knows not. Like
other types of crooks, he doesn't prosper,
and his finish is more unpleasant than
the beginning. --Atchison Globe.

The Maritime Exchange

1t is fact not generally known that
the arrival and departure of steam and
sailing vessels engaged in commerce is
reported daily from every port in the
world. Sitting in the Maritime ex.
change, ynu could tell at glance just
what hal transpired in shipping circles
of any port during the past twenty-four
hours. There is q report on every ship
that has cleared or entered. The re-
port gives the name of her home port,
how many days out, her cargo, the
number If passengers, her consignors
and conSi .;aees, her destination and her
captains name. The companies them
selves and underwriters and forwarders
station these agents all over the map,
and the agents are like so many train
dispatchers OH land reporting the move
mcnts of every piece of rolling" stock
under the reign of maritime law. The
number of men engaged on shore in
the business of sailing ships is twice
as great as the number managing those
same ships on the ocean.
In any given company the orSanl-
cation represents a great pyramid of

There's q Reason

A Salt Lake paper quotes Superin,
tendent Manson of the Salt Lake divi
sion of the Southern Pacific as saying
that there is IL shortage of good freight
crews on his division and that it is
necessary to send east for good men.
superintendent Manson should go futher
and give the reason for the shortage,
which is that good men, are leaving
the employ of the s. p. right along and
going to work for the Western Pacific
ON its construction trains out of Winnie
mucca. The foolish removal of the s..
P. terminal to INLAY is mainly respon-
sible for these assertions. It is only a
matter of time when all the S. P.'s best
men on the Carlin-Imlay run will be en-
ployed by the Western Pacific, with
their homes in Winnemucca. Hum
