A peculiar situation has dcvclpped IN

that the lower, inland tariff is an in-5
justice to the coast cities, and that they
have secured postponement OF the

of showing wherein the injustice con-
sists. This indicates that the contest
for cheaper rates must be waged not

But the fight must be won ultimately.

WAR ON THE PLAGUE.

According to tile statement made BY
Nathan Straus at the annual meeting
OF tho National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
the campaign against this plague has
failed to check it. He showed by sta
tistics an increase Of SO per cent II,
two years in New York, although that
city leads in the fight against it. He
expressed tho opinion that the reason
for this failure was the neglect of the
mischief wrought by the infected dairy
would begin, he thought, when it was
made a crime to sell milk unless L.
came from tubcrculn- tested cows or
those which had been properly pas
teurized.
This opinion should be given due
fare upon one of the most destructive
plaques with which the human family
Is afflicted The evil must be traced
to its sources.
a great deal OF money and energy
have been spent lately, especially by
7
| tie against consumption. According to
q statement issued by the Association
| for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, one million women, represent
Ing cities, towns, villages and isolated
rural settlements in every section Of
the country, are today enlisted In
campaign against that disease. Organ
izations have been established in every
state, and even In the Hawaiian Is
lands, Porto Rico, and the Canal Zone.
This movement was begun in st.
Paul. in 1906, at the time OF the bien-%
NAL meeting OF the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, when that body
sanctioned Il resolution TO make the
prevention and cure OF tuberculosis a
subject of study and made Mrs. RE-
gfus p Williams of Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts, chairman Of the new depart
ment, called the Health Department
of the General Federation of Wonens
Clubs" For the purpose of extending
the campaign into the many cities ana
towns of the country, the Central COM
imittee makes every local and State
club under Its jurisdiction responsible
for the work in its own community.
The Executive board of the Mothers
Congress has also recently entered into
the crusade. and has prepared circu-
lars and literature on the prevention
of consumption, which are being circu-
lated broadcast throughout the coun-
try.
A largo number of women occupying
prominent positions in society are also
ing an active interest in this campaign.
Mrs. w. *. Vanderbilt has recently
given million dollars for sanitary
homes for consumptives. Mrs. Keith
spalding Of Chicago has erected q san-
atolinm for the Chicago Tuberculosis
Institute at q cost OF about fifty thou
sand dollars; Mrs. Coils P. Hunting
ton and Mrs. Borden Hartman have
given largely to the consumption fight
In Porto Rico Mrs. Albert Norton
Wood, wife OF a prominent army officer
stationed al san Juan, has stirred the
entire island through the anti-tuber-
culoss crusade she inaugurated Nine.
Emma Cnive is d most enthusiastic
worker, and has given largely of her
talent and money for the relief OF tu-
bercuoSis sufferers. and Miss Olga
Nethersoic has even lectured before the
public on tuberculosis.

HOBO ATTEMPTS TO
WRECK PASSEN GER

Heppner Junction, Ore.-In an at
tempt to get even with the Oregon
Railway & Navigation company fol
being thrown off a freight train -four
times while beating his way from
| Umatlla to Portland, George English
last night tried to derail o. r. & N.
train No. G. bearing 200 passengers,
near Castle Rock. English was
caught by Detective Ed. b. Wood Of
the o. r. & n. last night just east
of Arlington and. confronted with
evidence pointing to him as the
would-be wholesale murderer, he con-
fessed and begged a speedy trial, say
ing he would plead guilty Of the
crime. He was lodged in Jail at the
Willows for the night and this eve
ming he was taken to Heppner for
trial.
Had it not been for a freight train
a little ahead Of time English in all
probability would have wreaked his
vengeance on the railroad company
by causing a disaster the death toll
of which might have been appalling.
The freight. in taking a siding near
Heppner Junction to give the speedy
passenger following from Portland a
clear way, struck the pile of ties
placed on the tracks by English and
ground them to pulp. In few min
utes train No. rushed by at a 40
mile speed, the previous freight bare
ly frustrating Englishs plan to gain
revenge.
Investigation after the plot that
failed cast suspicion on "well dress
ed hobo" who was seen acting sus-
piciously in the vicinity of Castle
Rock. Detective Wood and Marshal
T. d. Sweaton of Arlington, took up
the trail of the man on the track,

formation are anything but bright, as
the path is blocked by numerous OBJ

The consent of the French govern
ment, which is not based upon treaty
stipulations but is merely an act of

The old Panama canal scandal,
which wrecked so many fortunes and
regulations, and brought the country
almost to the verge Of a revolution, is
now, legally closed, and no matter
how willing the government might be

such action involved the slightest risk
of reopening the old question.
