WILL PROSECUTE RAILROAD
Northern Pacific to Be Sued in
Courts for Failure to Make
improvements.

That suit will be brought
against the Northern Pacific rail
road for failure to comply with
the orders made by the state
railroad commission last June, is
the statement made by j. c. Law
renee. the Whitman county mem
Der of the board. Mr.. Lawrence
was here in attendance at the
wheat convention and when his
attention was called to the fact
that the orders made by the com
mission when it visited Pullman
last June had been ignored, he
was far from being pleased, and
to The Herald reporter he said {;
" Mr., Perley called my atten-
ton to the failure Of the road to
comply with our orders and You
may say that suit will be brought
in the courts to compel a compli-
ance with our orders and to col
lect the penalty allowed by law
for failure to do so. We will not
tolerate this tendency Of some Of
the railroads to ignore our or
ders. bring suit against them to
enforce the order and collect the
penalty Such suits have been
started against the Q. r. 4 y, and
the Great Northern, and when |
return to Olympia we will start
suit against the Northern Pa
citic."
1t will be remembered that
when the state railroad commits
sion made its tour Of the state last
summer, it Travelled over every
mile of railroad in Washington
and asked the people to meet the
commission and make complaints
and furnish evidence to subStan-
tiate them, the service, equipment
or accommodations of the rail
roads at the points visited were
lot satisfactory. Attorneys and
officers Of the railroads accompa-
MED the commissioners on this
trip. Al Pullman several things
were found that needed changing
and orders were made that these
changes be made at once. The
railroad officials and their attor-
neys agreed to these changes and
assured the commission that they
would be made at once.
The changes ordered included
filing the big hole at the north
end Of the depot platform and
building a walk across it to the
depot; placing an electric alarm
bell which would give an alarm
when a train was coming toward
the depot from the east to pro

able one for the person having a
modest income. The entire loan
can be repaid at any time with
out bonus. The same money you
are now paying for rent will, IL
a few years, if applied to build
ING and loan stock, purchase for

tect people crossing the railroad

and on the depot platforms; con
Meeting the toilets with the sew
er, and putting running water in
both waiting rooms.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Perley,
inspector Of tracks and equipment
for the railroad commission. was
here and found these orders had
not been complied with. He took
it up with the railroad officials
and was assured that the improve
ments would be made in a few
days. - The electric alarm bell
was said to be in the depot then
and would be installed at once.
Mr. Perley called at The Herald
office and asked that notice be
given to the public through the
columns OF this paper that the
bell would be in place in a short
time and the other improvements
would be completed soon. Upon
his return to Pullman last Fri
day he was surprised to learn
that the changes had not been
made and that no effort had been
made to comply with the orders
Of the commission. He reported
this to Mr. Lawrence, who was at
the convention, and the latter
announced that suit will be
brought. 1t is understood that the
law allows the collection Of pen
atty Of $25 per day for every day
that the order is not obeyed. At
this rate a heavy fine is likely to
be collected from the Northern
Pacific for a fine of $25 per day
from the first of June last year

At least two observers, Messrs. F.
B. Loomis and j. A. Harris, have
within the last two years noted the
curious fact that the prairie dog or
burrowing owl sometimes initiate, in
a most realistic way, the rattle of the
rattlesnake, among whose dens they
are often found. When the owls are
disturbed they utter this warning
sound in such manner that even ex-
perienced horses are startled and de-
ceived by it. Mr.. Harris suggests that
this trick Is intended as measure of
self-protection. Even young birds, he
says, make the same sound when
taken from the nests.
A correspondent of Nature notes the
finding of a new mineral in the gold
washings of the Ural mountains
Analysis shows that 1t consists of
9S.5 per cent tantalum, 1.5 per cent
niobium, and .OO1 per cent maganese
He therefore remarks that it may be
regarded as consisting practically of
native tantalum. The mineral occurs
in very minute quantities, and is ap-
parently an isolated formation; but
now that its existence is known, it
is hoped that 1t may be found else
where associated with gold and plati-
num- 1t has lower specific gravity
than either of those metals.
English engineers seem disposed to
complain that sufficient attention is
not given by iron and steel manu-
facturers in that country to recent
progress in the electric reduction of
iron ores and the refining of steel
Experiments at Sault Ste. Marie have
shown that very considerable reduc-
tion in the consumption of energy for
merly regarded as necessary In the
electric process can be effected, so that
the cost as compared with that of the
old methods may be made favorable,
even where abundant water-power is
not available. A great advantage of
the electro-thermal process is that the
heat can easily be applied just where
1t is required. Its greatest superiority
has been shown In the refinement OF
steel,

tnongh they fail t. see why we want |
to do it? They apparently feel that
they are in the hands of some awful
power that will show them no pity,
and they have already made prepara-
tions to faint in case anything hap
pens, says the woman who saw in the
New York Evening Sun. 1t is 60 un-
observant Of these ladies. Have they
never noticed that there are men who
manage to extricate themselves from
the tangle of voting? In case the
anti-suffragettes are uncertain as to
the best way Of staying away from
the polls, the men will show them.
They are not in such danger as they
think.
They are not in such danger as we,
the would-be voters. For we are in
undated with such flood of unenvia-
BILE characteristics, all assured us to
belong solely to women, that it is a
miracle if we do not disappear from
view, buried under pile Of the de-
plorable traits recently presented to us.
Why have we all these years had such
charming things said of us by half of
mankind when the other half pos
sessed, so it would seem, a knowledge
of us that they should have acted on
with much severity? How did some
contrive to think us angels when 9th
ers were convinced we were lacking
all moral sense? Ii must have been
that both spoke on nothing but hear
say, and SO, knowing us only by ru-
NOR, were naturally divergent in their
views.
With the kindest intentions in the
world, and hoping sincerely that it
will not be too much of shock, we
would like to break it to them, with
all .gentleness, that we bear dim re-
semblance to themselves.
One of the darts aimed at us most
frequently 1--WE have been long accus-
toned to a ducking and lodging which
we hear with amazement has been in
| terpreted as kowtowing and salam-
ming) Is the probable personal ele-
ment which women will introduce into
politics. 1t is feared we will hate out
of politics all those we disagree with
in politics, vote for a man without a
beard in preference to one with, and
be down on a candidate who tore our
frock at dance in our early youth.
All, then, these are accusations not to
be answered just now. We optimis-
tically hope our future behavior will
| disprove them, and in the meantime
we solace ourselves with the thought
that even these petty reasons for not
liking man are not very much worse
than liking him for the generosity of
his hackers.

Forbidden by Uncle Sam.

Fiercest of all the wild orgies of the
aborigines Of North America is the
fiesta which eliminates in the fire
dance of the Saboba Indians, small
tribe living close to the Sierra Madre
range of mountains, which walls off
the seacoast of California from the
desert.
UP to last year, when the Indian
bureau of the United States govern
ment finally forbade the holding of
these fiestas, the Sabobas had gathered
every year at the base of old Mount
San Jacinto to sing, dance and gam.
BILE, and finally to throw themselves
into pit of fiery GOALS, roll over and
over on the burning bed, and then
dance with bare feet on the red hot
floor of the pit.

PH1LANTHRoPIsT PEARsoNs.

Daniel X. Pearsons, who says that
the Joy of giving is the most satisfying
Joy that human being can know,
has given away more than $4,000,000.
Forty-seven colleges in twenty-four
States have been the recipients of his
bounty. His boast is that he will givs
away his entire fortune before he dies.
pr. Pearsons was born in Bradford,
VT, April IA, 1920, and grew up among
the granite hills in poverty. He be-
came school teacher and then ply
sician, but not being able to make
money rapidly in the East he moved
to Ogle County, ILL.,, where he engaged
In farming. In 1860, at the age of
40, he came with his wife, who was
Miss Marietta Chapin of Massachu-
sets, to Chicago. He had $4,000 in
cash and began business as real es.
tate dealer. His first commission was

County. He went out among the farm
ers of the State and when he found
one dissatisfied, induced him to move.
He made it rule never to misrepre-
sent his properties, and the result was
that in few years he gained tre-
mendous following throughout the Mid
die West. His commissions sometimes
amounted to $4,000 week. Living eco-
nomically he soon amassed a fortune.
In 1875 he was elected alderman from
the First Ward. The citys finances
were at low ebb and reputation
of bonds was seriously considered. DR..
Pearsons went to New York and ap-
peared before the Chicago bondholders'
meeting, offered to pledge his personal
fortune to the redemption of the bonds
and saved the credit of the city. Mrs.
Pearsons died recently and since then

Lieut.. shackleton as ToIker.

People whom Lieutenant Shackleton
casually meets must be a trial TO him
with their trivial questions, but he has
merry wit. He was explaining how
the penguins set up nest keeping. Mr..
Penguin would feed his wife as she
sat on the eggs. He brought her
prawns and the like, carrying them in

asked the naturalist present "That
we could not determine" replied the

a male penguin feed another birds

motives were absolutely disinter
ested."

That Tired Feeling.

An able English medical writer has
fately written a most interesting paper
bearing the title, "On Being Tired" in
which he offers what may serve as an
excuse for many who have been dis
missed with the diagnosis, 'lazy."
1t is a scientific fact, proved by ex-
haustive experiments with delicate re-
cording instruments, that fatigue has
a chemical basis; the body manufac-
lures its own fatigue-toxins more rap
idly than they can be thrown off; and
1t is quite possible that there are per-
sons who inherit a special tendency
toward this unfortunate form of manu-
facture, and that they are the per-
sons described as "born tired"
There are others who, although not
''born tired" fall into a condition
where they either manufacture their
toxins of fatigue too rapidly, or,
through some fault of metabolism, fail
to throw them off fast enough.
Many such sufferers would fin !
themselves helped, as ii by miracle, ii
submitted to a course of treatment
tending to thorough publication of the
liver and intestinal system, and for
this reason tie treatment advocated
by Metchnikoff of keeping the intes-
tinal tract under the daily influence
OF doses of Tactic acid, either in tablet
form or in milk treated with it, may
cure cases of permanent tiredness that
have resisted other treatments.
1t is small wonder that those who
suffer from chronic fatigue should be
found very irritating by their fellows,
for the reason that work is the only
thing they seem to balk at. When the
idle British workman says, II eats
well, drinks we'll, sleeps well, but
when I sees job Of work coming
along, I'm all of tremble," 1t is nat
ural to think of thrashing as the
best solution. But modern science
steps in and says, mo, keep the
thrashing till the last. First examine
his eyes, his heart, his digestive sys-
lOLh, puI hio pouy III pOilOSI Sohui-
tion, cure him Of poisoning himself,
make him well, for few really well
persons are lazy"
In that form Of chronic fatigue
caused by weak heart muscle, much
good may be done by system of liv-
ing which tends to strengthen the
heart and improve the circulation, for
a muscular system imperfectly fed by
the blood cannot be in good condition
In such cases exercise should be
graduated and increased very slowly
from day to day, and may be much
helped by some form of tonic treat
ment. Many persons whose lazinesi
takes the form Of baking at reading
or writing or other concentrated men

of warm water until the contents have
become liquid, then pour them to-

BRIDLE FOR GossIPs. able sale, a London
collector of curios has just extracted
from his museum specimen of this
old instrument of torture and offered
1t for sale, as hint to the authorities.
1t Is a steel structure, shaped very
much like the muzZle sometimes worn
by vicious horse. Strong bands,
worn round the head, are fastened and
locked on the back of the neck, eff
fectually closing the wearer's mouth
But the opportunity has passed. The
government has been criticized too
much for forcibly feeding Birmingham
suffragettes to adopt this instrument
of torture so close to an election. The
collector has had his joke, but his
financial gain was only few dollars,

Of nervous and internal disorders is

which exhaust and destroy the nerve
centers. Fasting seems rational cure
for such disorders and there is rea-
