An official complaint has been

RAILROAD PRESIDENT KNOWS

At the present time there is prob

thing from silent and sphinx-like to
wizardlike" He has been dubbed a
wonder" and many newspaper men,
as we'll as business men who would
really like to know the answer to
that invariable question, Who owns
the North Coast?" have found that
their cleverly phrased questions went
past Strahorn answered in one sense
of the word and still unanswered. In
the first place Mr.. StrahOrn refuses
to be quoted. In the second place
he was a newspaper man in the first
place, so he knows how to talk an1
yet reveal nothing of the secret which
is troubling the thoughts of the cur
ious.
If one were to pass Mr.. Strahorn on
the streets or speak to him casually,
that party might form the impression
that this sphinx-like and silent man,
who refuses to be quoted, is fastidious.
But that is not the impression that
one gains on closer acquaintance.
True. his mustache is trimed to an
almost Partisan extreme, but the man
who is reputed to be sphinx-like is
really amiable When the question
is put to him that relates to the real
hackers of the North Coast, he gener.
ally answers that such questions are
the kind that he never answers. If
the North Coast did represent any
particular road, he says, the curious
people might never know until trains
were running, and even then they
might never know.
If the people would give his road
as much publicity when trains are
running as the road is receiving now

ciate that one favor So many wild

route of road that sometimes the
officials begin to doubt their own

that way in a short time and are dis
appointed that such is not the case q
year later. And after all, he believes
curiosity is nauseating in that it goes
too far. He has the working mans
dislike to talk of his plans, or to re-
veal them. There is nothing wonder
full, he says, in keeping silent. An6
after all Mr.. Strahorn is a likablt
man, and one who is willing to ex

Mr.. Thompson compares the state
of Washington to Germany in re-
gard to it's natural resources and
physical condition. 1t is practically
one-third the size of Germany and
there is the same proportion and
area of mountains and waste land.

many there are now 66,00O,O00 peo-
pie. This population mas increased
in the past thirty-seven years some
44,000,000. Mr. Thomson expects
the state of Washington to easily
support 22,OO0,O0O people and he
has no doubt but that the Columbia
river will be an open stream
much farther north than We
natchee to the ocean The streams
that can be made navigable are
about the same as those of Germany,
except that the Columbia is much
larger than any stream there. A
large proportion of the streams Of
Germany have been made navigable
at very great expense and they are
maintained as open highways just
the same as the public roads.

1t was stated Saturday by officials
of the Great Northern that the
freight embargo would be lifted to-
day 1t is true that there is some
freight moving in some localities yet
the switchmen's strike is not over,
nor is the Great Northern able TO
care for all of its business. The rail-
road company in some districts in the
east is putting to work large num-
Der of strikebreakers and while the
conditions are. materially improved
from that of last week, yet freight is
not being accepted at all points along
the line.
A dispute between officers of the
switchmen and of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen has occurred,
which has had a tendency to work
against the strike. Members of the
switchmen's union in different parts
of the country claim that they had
no opportunity of voting upon the
question of strike and that they
therefore hold themselves to be un-
der no obligations to the union

Judge Mudd. near Elyton. was the largest and most stylish ever erected in Jones' valley before the founding of Birming ham. The family were of the highest so- cial distinction, exclusive. cultured and refined and 1t was the influence and wealth of Judge Mudd that helped estab- fish the city and sustained its life when almost perished. He never faltered for moment. nor refused to aid 1t in the hour of need All honor to his memory.
 These dear, noble old pioneers sleep the years away, and the rush and roar of commerce and industry disturbs them not. Their feet trod the valley in the morn ing time of its bloom and beauty; where they hunted in the forest the steel mill stands; the fields wherein they harvested their crops are streets and avenues and the homes of thousands; where they drove their teams along the rocky roads the great trains rush past like a whirlwind The bells of innumerable churches ring out on the sweet Sabbath morn from the hills and vales of East Lake to the mead owlands of McAdory's, on the murmuring waters of Village creek but none could be dearer than the call from the pioneer church, or the chapel by Enon's banks. and memorial Ruhamah. Never the blue heaven above so tranquil and so tender; the set of sun on Red mountain so full of gold and glory; the moonlight and the starlight so luminous over hill and dale of Jones valley as when, in the years that have left us, these brave true men stood like the monarchs of the forest, and those pioneer women were as chaste and fair to look upon as lilies of the valley.

 The year 1731 witnessed great increase of population from Europe. New Orleans was founded, and a violent war ragged in Florida. Pensacola was captured and Dauphin Island attacked In 1736 Bien- vile, with 1500 French soldiers and 12O0 friendly Choctaw Indians, ascended the Tombigbee river 250 miles, to wage war upon the Chickasaw Indians, and landed his army at the present site of Cotton Gin Port and finding it impossible to transport his artillery he left 1t and marched 20 miles through the dense forest to attack their stronghold. Upon arrival he found the English flag floating over massive fort built o1 palisades under the direction of English traders from the Carolinas. For the entire day his army made desperate assault upon the fort, but
 
 of May 12, finding his Choctaw allies had deserted him. he retreated to his fortifi- cations on the Tombigbee river, and deeply humiliated at his defeat he threw his cannon into the river, and loading his men on transports noated them down to Mobile Returning with much larger army in the year 174o he quickly brought the Chickasaws to his own terms.

 Last week the postmaster at Winfield was asked by a travelling man to open tho night mail of the Iowa Central and get a letter for him, which he expected on that train. This is not customary. and the postmaster demurred, but the knight of the grip was so insistent and said he had to have the letter to get his expense money that the good-natured mall GUS todan broke his rule and opened the mall sack when it came. He found the letter all right and gave 1t to the anxious man. He tore the missive open. and as he read his face turned pale, and with an expression of astonshment he handed the letter to the postmaster and the lat ter read the information: Your wife has run away with another man." written to him by neighbor at home.
