danger that turks behind the box

SUNNYS|DE BRANCH
DOES HEAVY WORK
Northern Pacific Furnished the
Figures Asked for When the
Railroad Commission Met

Because OF the magnitude of the
business done on the Sunnyside
branch of the Northern Pacific rail-
road the city attorney of Sunnyside
believes that the state railroad COM
mission will require the railroad tc
abandon it's system of arbitrary
charges on the branch line.
When the Sunnyside representative
appeared before the railway commits
sion at Prosser to argue the question
whether or not the Northern Pacific
Railway company was justified IN
charging an arbitrary rate on the
Suunyside branch, he obtained the
prams from the attorney of the
RAILROAD company that a statement
showing the business done on tbs
Suuuyside branch would be furnished

RETALIATION

cause of Fight Against Freight
Rate Increase

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 14.-The
Pioneer Press tomorrow will say that
the policy Of retrenchment threat
ened by the railroads because of fed
eral activity in preventing an increase
in freight rates. is being put in force
and the plan is not confined to this
part of the country. So far it has
meant the laying OFF of about 10000
laborers in the Northwest.
"Orders have been received from
headquarters to practically stop all
new construction work and palms for
proposed extensions have been tempo
rarily dropped. The Northern Pacific
has given orders to lay off $500 men;
the Great Northern. 5000, and the
Northwestern. 500, according to esti-
mates. The Chicago, Milwaukee e St
Paul laid off about 1900 men the first
part of June in the northern district
alone.
For the present. the latter road
is not extending tho policy of rotrench-
ing into the Northwest. 1t was
learned that the Santa Pc has laid Oft
1000 men and the Chicago. Docll Jsl-

But it has turned out that this is
another instance where theory and

main trouble lay in his inability to

likes to fight and never knows when
to clinch his fist. He makes friends
with rattlesnakes and then gets
peeved when people suspect that his

manner of countries, but nothing to
compare with this in glitterng SOL
emnity. That slow-moving column
passing between banked-up masses of
absolutely quiet, bare headed people,
was a sight to linger in ones mind.
The quiet, almost reverential atti-
tude of the people was more re-
markable even than the spectacle they
came to see. No woman was too poor
to dress in black and no man too
needy to be withut a black tie. They
might be hungry-many of them
were, and hundreds tainted from
this cause alone-but they were
di essed as they believed the solemn
ty of the day required, and no man
failed to take off his hat when the
gun carriage passed.
An example of the feeling of the
crowd was seen when Lord Kitchener
passed. a slight murmur of recog-
milton ran along the line. but it was
drowned at once in storm of Kissing

but at those who SO forgot themselves

al education in all those matters
The people here are coming to re-
gard the police more in the character
Of their helpers than as representa-
tive of stern and hostile something
known as law.
But the tirmness and rigidity of
police regulations caused some sad
appointments among holders of
high priced seats in windows and in
gran1stands. The police regulation
said that all stockholders must be in
place by 1880 a. m. After that hour
cross streets would be closed.
IN one respect re occasion was
quite un-American. There was not
single grandstand accident. The
slow plodding British workmen took
days and nights to build the stands;
but when built. they were built to

them with perfect safety.-Seattle

of the department of agriculture,

nopcd--wilI replace the small and
scattered district schools OF TODAY.
This consolidated rural school is to
have ten-acre farm attached to it.
In the northwest. at least. half the
farm will be developed as combined
campus and farmstead; there will be
timber belts for experiment with
forest trees; there will be play
grounds strawberries and lawns and
gardens; and there will be a cottage
for the principal of the school. On
the other five acres field crops will be
planted fruits will be tested, and

life.
But the most Interesting feature Of
the plan is to have the boys and girls
spend six months in school and six At
home on the farm each year. This
brings us back practically to the div
ision Of time in the old-fashioned
district schools, where the boys ana
girls. the older ones at least, had to
confine their schooling to the winter.
But the great feature of the new
plan is the fact that the boys and
girls would study directly in the
schools what they would work III
and live by. at home. The school
instead of being an institution sacred
to the three RS and to frenzied
declarations of ,Casabianca, would
be little agricultural experiment sta
