nomenOn when Professor Bells tele-
phone became commercial utility,
and this In turn had to yield the palm
as the most marvellous production Of
inventive genius when it became pos
sible TO transmit messages through
space by a practical system Of wire
less telegraphy.s
AS wonderful and as successful as is
the wireless telegraph, its wonders are
beginning to pale before those Of the
wireless telephone. The telegraph is
now easily understood as a current of
electricity generated by a battery and
transmitted over an intervening wire;
the telephone is comprehended as an
adaptation Of the drum or tympanum
Of the middle ear to the magnetic tele-
graph. and the principle of the wire

understand, because the sound waves

limit of possibilities had at last been
reached. but the practical commercial
application of the wireless telephone
means so much to the business world
that its utility will greatly Outshine
the phenomenon of its introduction.
The commerce of the world has been
revolutionized by the devices of mod
ern inventors, and huge fortunes have
been accumulated by those who have
led in the development OF such devices,
but none has SO far come into public
use that approaches the wireless tele-
phone In wonders and in possibilities.
The system referred to has been
tried and pronounced successful in
the following and other experiments:
From Newark, n. j., to New York,
II miles.
From Congers to New York, S5 miles.
From Newark to Philadelphia, 81
miles
From Chicago to a steamer on Lake
Michigan.
From room TO room in the suit occu-
pied by President Taft at the Hotel
La Sale, Chicago.

without going into a technical de-
scription of wireless telephony, il is
enough to say that it has undoubtedly
come 10 stay. For some time, per-
haps, its usefulness will be confined
10 short distances, say one hundred
miles and less, but when we reflect
that 30 per cent of the messages of
the prevailing system travel less than
three miles. its wonderful capacity
will be easy of comprehension. And
then its use in factory buildings and
other structures occupied by one con-
Germ in locating individuals who have
gone 10 distant parts of the buildings
is Of incalculable value, the only essen
tial being that the individual shall
have with him one of the small receiv-
ing devices. As an article of genuine
commercial value the wireless tele-
phone will Immediately take a high
place. For boats, mines and other
inaccessible places it will be a great
boon.
A transcontinental circuit of wire
less telegraph stations has Just been
acquired by the wireless telephone in
terests, alternatively adaptable for
both. This will greatly facilitate the

EGGS GO AT
HIGH PRICES
Selling As High As 80 Cents in
Some Stores at This
Time

Seldom have eggs been so high al
this season Of the year as they are
at present. They are retailing NJ
prices ranging from 25 cents 10 30
cents a dozen for the strictly fresh
article. Thirty cents a dozen was
the price asked in several stores ves-
terday.A Dealers say eggs are NOT
plentiful, but no one seems able TO
give an intelligent explanation of the
shortage. The idea that the eggs are
being "salted" down until holiday
time, when they reach so cents =
dozen usually. is secuted by many.
With eggs selling as high as 30 cents
a dozen now, the prospects of any
thing like a reasonable price for
winter seems entirely out of the ques-
ton. The housewife of moderate
means will then be compelled to re-
sort TO recipes for eggless cakes and
puddings.
One reason why eggs are scarce so
often, is ascribed by those who have
some experience in poultry matters 10
the absence of scientific methods in
poultry raising. To a large extent,
on the ordinary farm, the poultry
pens are occupied by a nondescript
lot OF barn yard fouls. Even though
there may be a large number of them.
the production of eggs is very small
and not at all dependable. But gem
orally little attention is paid to feed,
and scraps from the table and corn
are thrown to the chickens without
any consideration of their actual
needs. The poultry raiser who Is
successful is the one who studies the
matter thoroughly. profiting not only
from personal experimentation, but
also from te experience of others.
In the last few years farmers have
given more attention 10 the science
of the industry. which is said 70

FRANCISCO FERRER.

Percival Gibbon, in the January
Mcclure. describes Ferrer in these
words:
He was not a great man in the
sense of a man whose inward strength
would have thrust him to the fore in
any environment. Rather he was Il
product of his time and country. one
of those men who are created as
though by an economic demand to
meet a need. He was not eloquent
nor cultured; he could not move gath
erings by speeches. and he wrote lit
tie. At his trial, the spectators were
surprised to hear him speak the form
al Castilan of official procedure like
an ill-educated Frenchman. But
once his interest was strongly taken,
he could kindle to vivacity; he could
be brisk and downright. and the llv-
ing force within him would come 70
the light. He had, what is rare in
Spain. a reserve of energy to back
the faith that he professed-some-
thing akin to fanaticism. 1t was that.
and the fact that he was rich. that
made him formidable
"As an anarchist he hardly
counted. Anarshism demands a more
strenuous adherence than Ferrer
could give it. Certainly he was never
in any sense a member of its coun-
ellis or a leading figure among the
Anarchists of Barcelona"

WHAT'S THE USE?

The New York World has the fol-
lowing Indictment for the sugar trust
and asks for congressional INJURY:
Through sworn testimony taken in
court. in legislative and Congression-
al investigations and in other pro-
.ceedings, the sugar trust is shown to
have been guilty of;
q. Bribing political committees of
beth parties.
-. Seeking to influence United
States senator's by stock tips and
other financial transactions.
IS. Accepting rebates in violation
OF the Interstate commerce law.
"A. Stealing from the United
States government through weighing
frauds.
"5. Conspiring to ruin independ-
ent sugar refiners.
IS. Violating persistently the
sherman antitrust law.
a. Using short-weight scales.
IS. Blacklisting grocers who
handle independent sugar.
80. importing cheap contract la
.bcr.
40. Violating factory and health
laws"
Continuing the World declares that
no high official of the sugar trust
has ever been prosecuted or convict
ed for any of these offenses. The
only indictments ever returned against
any Of them were returned recently
by a grand jury after the trust had
confessed in open court that it had
violated the Sherman law. The
World claims the relations of the
trust to the government have long
been intimate and intricate. Its ac-
tivities in congress have been rightly
described as a scandal. The reasons
for its long and profitable immunity
have never been explained and so 4
congressional inquiry is suggested.
But why put the matter up to a
congressional committee-a commit
tee that would be named by the Can
non-Aldrich combination? Would
you have father tried before a jury
OF his children; would you turn a
horsethief over to his pals for pun:
ishment?

NOT TIE LAST ACT.

Thus far the progress of the Bal
inger-Pinchot inquiry is along pecu-
liar lines There will be little doing
In the way of a real investigation. On
whitewashing bee for Secretary Bal
linger while it seems inevitable that
Chief Forester Pinchot will come in
for some censure. By the admins
tration Ballinger has been vindicat-
ed in advance Of the inquiry. Presi-
dent Taft gave the secretary of the
interior a clean bill Of health last fall.
Now Attorney General Wickersham
comes forth with a similar statement.
He says Claws merely had the big
head when he made his charges
againt his superior. Does that effec,
the legal aspects of the case?
Then all the way through it is evil
dent that the whole congressional
proceeding is framed up pro-Bal-
Iinger proposition. The investigating
committee of course will be a pro-
Ballinger committee. What would
you expect of Speaker Cannon and
Vice President Sherman. Already
the stories from Washington indicate
the inquiry will not be as to the
work Of the interior department but
or the contrary the critics Of the in
terror department will be put upon
the grill. The administration prompt
ed by pro-corporation influences is
going out to stamp out criticism, not
to Investigate anything.
But this is not a one or two act
play. If it were such it would be
bad for Pinchot. In the act that Is
nov being staged with the scene laid
In congress the hero Of the conser-
walton movement will be under fierce
attack. Every effort will be made to
GUST him from office and with a
spineIess gentleman in the white
house this may be accomplished. But
here's betting that before the Am
erican people ring down the final
curtain upon the BallingerPinchot
controversy there will be a change in
the situation.

THE OIL DIGGERS.
ishnent ?

The enterprising men who are drill
ing for oil out in Malheur county are
doing good and valuable work. They
believe there is oil in commercial
quantities underneath the bunch grass
plains west of Vale and they are go-
ing to find out. There are now a
score or more concerns engaged in
exploration work. At least six wells
are being sunk and they are already
down to a very considerable depth.
The men back of these companies say
they will keep going until they ascer-
tain once and forever whether or not
there is commercial oil in eastern
Oregon. Here's hoping their quest
will be rewarded for If it is it will
mean fortunes for the men now al
work and incidentally the discovery
of oil will aid much in advancing the
material interests of eastern oregon
