HARTMAN WINS OVER HILL
Achieves Big Victory by Getting Into
Portland Gateway.
OFFICIALS ELATED AT OUTCOME
Figures Prepared by w. II. Murray
of Union Pacific, as Rate Expert,
Are Freely, Quoted In the
Decision.

Hartman officials are elated over the
decision Of the Interstate Commerce com
mission, which throws open the Portland
gateway, after a fight of several years
with the Hill lines.
Contrary to the general opinion, the fight
has not been a mere matter of revenue,
as there was no question Of the division
at stake, but II was a case of Hill keeping
Hartman out. so that the Hill lines would
be able to get the long haul from all east
ern points and from the middle west.
w. H. Murray. assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union. Pacific, was the
rate expert for the Hartman lines before
the commission and the finding Of the
commission is full of excerpts from Mr..
Murray's testimony.
BY this decision the Hartman lines will
be able to participate in some Of the
enormous passenger business expected this
summer 10 the Seattle exposition. One Of
the reasons given by the commission for
making its decision was that there was
a great demand for an open route to Seattle
and other Puget sound points through the
Portland gateway. and for this reason II
was no more than right for the Hill lines
TO accept through tickets when billed
through Portland.

When They Wish to Marry They Must
Do the Proposing.
When a reigning queen is to be mar
ried she must be the one to breach the
subject FIRST to her future consort.
The same rule holds good with regard
TO all royal ladies who. marry COM
moners.
The late Queen Victoria has told how
she managed to put the question to
Prince Albert-how she first showed
him Windsor and its beauties and the
distant landscape and then said. ''All
this may be yours" The queen Of Hol-
land on a like occasion simply sent a
sprig Of white heather. begging Prince
Henry to look out its meaning in a
book of flowers and their meanings.
The Duchess OF Argyll took the fol-
lowing means Of proposing to the Mar
quis Of I.orne: She was about to attend
a state l,all and gave 1t out that she
would choose as her partner for the
first dance the man she intended TO
honor. She selected the marquis. who
subsequently became her husband.
But perhaps the most interesting Of
all ways chosen was that Of the Ouch
ess Of Fiec. She took the earl. rs he
then was. to a drawer and showed him
its contents There he saw a number
Of tribes be had given her at different
times. including sprigs Of several kinds
Of flowers. now dead. he had picked
for her at various times. He was
much impressed at the sight. nor did
1t require words on her part to make
her meaning plain.-London Answers.

The Way These Growths Endanser
the Health Of Children.
Adenoids are curious little caulidow-
er-like growths which appear at the
junction Of the nasal cavity and the
pharynx. They are often observed at
birth. but they seldom cause discom-
fort until some months later. Then
they interfere with respiration and
cause the baby to be restless. It losses
in its sleep and wakens suddenly. cry
ing out as If In distress. 49,.
If adenoids are permitted to remain
they deform the mouth, teeth, throat.
chest and face. At their worst they
produce pop eyes and what is called a
frog face. They cause mouth breath
ing. with all its attendant evils. They
open the way for hundred and one
ills. from rupture Of the eardrum. run
ming from the ears, coughs and tonsfli-
It's to pulmonary tuberculosis.
A slight operation sufiices to remove
them. The baby suffers little pain and
loses little blood. Out they come. and
with them the overgrown tonsiis that
commonly accompany them. II they
are suffered to remain they may never
be discovered. But 1t Is certain that in
one way or another. directly or indi-
rectly. they will cause damage.-Dr.

How Hunters Dress Where There Is NO
Dawn and No Dusk.
We wore khaki for daytime and
warm clothes for night when sitting
around the camp. as after the sun
goes down a great chill Immediately
settles down that makes winter CLOTH
ing and a good big fire most essential.
During the daytime We always wore
pith helmets. although sometimes
early in the morning and late in the
afternoon. when the sun is not at its
ma ximum. a double terai felt hat may
be substituted. 1t is far more COM
Portable than the helmet.
AS additional protection we wore
sun pads which covered the spine.
These are merely heavy quilted strips
that reach from the collar to below
the shoulders. as we were advised that
the effect of the sun was Just as dead
IL at this point as on the head. I do
not know what maximum the Their
mometer would reach in the sun. as
was afraid to leave it exposed when 1t
got higher than a little above $50 de-
grees, as beyond that point there was
great danger OF breaking IL. In the
shade the temperature would be usu-
ally from SIS to 1oO degrees. but there
was always n breeze blowing. and the
dryness OF the air cooled one OF quite
rapidly rs soon as one got out Of tho
sun. 1t was always cold In the morn
ing when we started out at the FIRST
peep Of light. and we were usually
shi-erin; for n few minutes prior to
the suns appearance. Day does not
dawn in equatorial Africa. but It
bursts. 1t is dark one minute and full
sunlight the next and the reverse &C.
ours in the evening. for the sun goes
down and night comes on as II cur
tain had suddenly been drawn down
over the west. and the chill OF Eight
begins instantly.-Percy c. Madeira In
