White Women at Kabul.

A singular romance is related In con-
nection with the announcement In the
Irish newspapers Of the death AT
Kabul, Afghanistan, of Emily, widow
of Henry Simpson Lincoln"
Some twelve years ago young In
dian Mohammedan studying at the
ROYAL College of Surgeons at Dublin
resided with Mrs. Lincoln, who was
about 70 years of age, the London Daily
Mail says. When the young Indian
finished his studies she determined to
accompany him back to India and left
the Unitarian church for Moham-
mechanism. In the course Of time the
Indian obtained a position in Kabul as
secretary to the amir Of Afghan1stan,
and there Mrs. Lincoln followed him,
Drawing the formidable journey from
Lahore to Kabul by horse and palan-
quin, although about 80 years Of age.
Arriving at Kabul, she was obliged
to live in the retirement observed by
Mohamedan women and saw the young
Indian no more, though she was al
lowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told of loneliness beyond ex-
preston and Of her belief of approach
ing death. Almost Immediately after
ward came a telegram stating that she
had passed away.

MAKES OWN
RATES
MILWAUKEE NOT TO ION
RAILWAY TRAFFIC
ASSOCIATION.
No Cut In Rates Contemplated,
But Road Wishes More Freedom
While Developing Territory
Than Would Be Possible AS
Member of Traffic Bureau.

Chicago, June 12-Some interest
ing possibilities Of competition for the
Hill and Hartman railroads in the
struggle for transcontinental traffic are
suggested by decision reached by the
traffic and executive officers of the Chi.
cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound rail-
way, the newly completed Pacific coast
extension of the Milwaukee road, to
maintain an independent attitude in
regard to the making of rates to the
| West.
Ever since the construction of the
line was started, it has been predicted
in railroad circles that the road would
become a rate making factor to be
reckoned with. This has been borne out
by the official announcement that the
Puget Sound, for the present at least,
will not become a member of the
transcontinental freight bureau, the
traffic organization by which the West
ern roads make and maintain freight
rates, but will make and publish it's
own rates so as to be free to change
them as it sees fit, or as conditions
may demand, observing only the statu-
tory requirement Of thirty days notice
to the interstate commerce commission,
instead of subu lifting a proposed rate
to conference with the representa-
tives of other lines.
This determination was made by E.
S. Kelley, vice president, who explain
ed that, while the road had no inten-
ton of becoming rate disturber, and
had started out by adopting the same
rates as those maintained by the other
carriers, it was necessary for a new
road with territory to be developed
to be able to make rates suited to it's
peculiar conditions, and to be able to
change them without the unnecessary
delay of conferences and the protracted
machinery of traffic association.
One of the most important considera-
tions which influenced the decision of
the traffic officers in their determine
ton to maintain an independent rate
position was that the road proposes to
make some extremely low rates on
Oriental export business
In order to carry out it's plans, the
Milwaukee is having built in Japan
six large freight carrying vessels, the
first of which is expected to arrive in
Seattle ready to take back cargo
about August 1. This will be known
as the Tacoma Maru." The second
Of the fleet, the ''Seattle Maru," will
arrive shortly afterward.

in constant use over the greater part
of India, in Africa and also those dis
tricts Of the East which are more par
ticularly associated with Holy Writ.
It may be worth while to mention that
this description of mill is an improve
ment upon the method Of simply crush
ing the corn laid on a fiat stone with
another held in the hand. The "Quern"

partly followed, into which another
stone, which has handle, Is loosely
fitted. The corn required to be ground

WASHINGTON FISHERIES
OUTPUT WORTH $4,000, 900

Seattle, June 1.-the average value
Of the products of the fishing industry
in this state amounts to So, 900;
the industry provides employment for
S., 900, 900 capital, and from ~. 900 to
Is, 600 men received about 81, 900, 900
in wages, according to the annual re-
port Of John L. Riseland, state fish
commissioner, covering the period be-
tween March 81, 1908 and March 81,
1909 Commissioner Riseland's report
is one of the most voluminous ever
made on the fishing industry in the
state. 1t covers most features of the
work, explaining in detail what is
done at the various fish hatcheries
during the year and what is expected
of them during the coming year; it
also includes large number Of stats.
tics.
Mr.. Riseland makes few recommen-
dations for new laws, stating in his
opinion the laws of the state covering
the fishing industry are ample. On
this point he says: "We have on the
statute books a splendid set of laws
governing the fishing industry. I con-
slider frequent changes in the laws
harmful and inadvisable. I think,
however, that we will soon be com
PEELED to prohibit altogether fishing
with gear of smaller mesh than three
inches during the months of April,
May and June, as nets of mesh Of that
size catch many immature fish,"
Mr.. Riseland calls attention to recent
legislation covering the regulation OF
fishing on the Columbia river. and
states that it has been his aim to see
that the laws were strictly enforced.
The commissioner gives it as his opin.
ion that the Columbia river fishing
laws are now ample to cover all phases
of the situation, and that further trouble
is not apt to occur.

Perhaps my experience is going to be
like the farmers who was just at the
height of success in training his horse
to get along without any food at all
when the animal interrupted the ex-
pertinent by dying. However, 1t may
be too early to tell.
For ten days up to last Sunday I
managed to do with four hours a
night, sitting up until 4 o'clock and
getting up at 8. At first 1t was an
awful pull, and for all work 1 did I
might as well have been in bed, but
toward the last it really did seem that

sleepy feeling at night, and got up
feeling fresh, and didn't seem to suffer
in any way. Last Sunday morning,
however did not get up. I slept, In
fact, until II o'clock. Then I got up
to have some breakfast and imme-
diately afterward was attacked with
drowsiness.
I struggled against it, but only a
little, for 1 suddenly began to realize
that no power on earth, no fear, Of
punishment, nor hope Of reward, here
or hereafter, could keep me out Of
that bed. Like a drunkard I went
back and slept until Monday morning.

to. I have slept seven hours q day
