HelpfuI Experiences.

It seems to me it is the same with
love and happiness and with sorrow
the more we know of it the better we
can feel what other peoples lives are
or ought to be, and so we shall only
be more tender to them and wishful
to help them-George Eliot.
LET us consider that day wasted in
which we have not lightened the bur
den of someone else. We will not
have to go far to find some one in
trouble. 1t may be only child who
has got lesson it cannot understand,
but if no one else thanks you that
child's angel will do so some day"
The great thing is to have felt the
sanctity and immortal beauty Of our
obscure destiny, to have been led by
a series of experiences to love this
life for its griefs and hopes, to love
men for their weakness and great
ness and to belong to humanity
through the heart, the intelligence
and the soul.-Wagner.

RAILR0ADING IN THE ANDES
American Engineers and Conductors,
But They Don't Stick to Jobs for
Long Periods.

Archer Harman, president of the
Guayaquil & Quito railroad, returned
from Ecuador to New York and re-
ported to Ned York great progress in
the building of the road, 300 miles of
which was completed in 1909 The
road connects Guayaquil on the coast
of Quito, the capital, on the Andes
plateau. 1t is one of the tallest jobs
In railroading that has been attempt
ed. The elevation at Cotopaxi pass
Is 1880 feet. Most Of the engineers
and conductors are Americans, but
they do not stay long in the employ
ment of the company, being Of a ro-
wing disposition. Their places after
they think they have made enough
money to go wandering again. are
filled by other rovers. About nine.
tenths of the workers on the road out
side of the engineers and conductors
are natives. The speed of trains on
the plains is sometimes between 40
and so miles, and in the passes about
IL miles.

ATTORNEY IN ODD POSITION
Employed to Sue Railroad Company
First for Whistllng and Then
for Not Whistlnq.

On a trip one day in Kansas, Stew.
art Taylor, Kansas City attorney,
ran across Joe" Waters, Topeka
lawyer, at Alma.
What are you doing here?" Tay.
lor asked.
Well, I've got a couple of suits
against the Santa Fe," the Topeka
man, who is a brother of L. H. Wa.
ters of Kansas City answered. I'm
going to collect damages from the
road once for whistling and once for
not whistling."
II don't quite get that" Taylor said
well, it's this way. There's an en-.
gineer on this run who used to court
girl in this town. His suit didn't
prosper somehow, the girl choosing
to remain a maid. She owns little
place on the outskirts of the town,
close to the railroad tracks, and lives
there. 1t seems his rejection stirred
up the acid in the engineers dispo
sition, and every time he takes his
train past the house of his former
sweetheart he lets a shrek out of the
whistle. Sometimes he'd even stop
the train to prolong it until he could
feel sure she had a headache. She
stood it until she was a nervous
wreck and then sued the railroad for
damages.
"The other suit against the road
concerns the same engineer. He
must have been saving up his steam
to let off in front Of the house of his
spite, because he neglected to blow
the whistle one day when he ap
preached a crossing just outside Of
town here and ran down farmers
wagon, killing horse. The owner
brought suit and gave me the case;
so here l am to make the company
pay for whistli19 vseAnd for moi

executive officers, one prominent ten
deney has been manifest throughout
The old war horses of the railroad
game, who have spent their lives
in the service, and who by their ef-
forts have made the American trans
portation system what 1t is. as well
as having been responsible in meas
ure for what II is not, have stepped
aside, and their places have been
filled with men of lesser years, Just
as the battle SCARED furniture Of
their sanetums has been replaced with
new mahogany
And the new men seem to be ma
king good, as far as can be judged
from the achievements Of those whose
promotion to leadership has not been
of too recent date. No one is claim
ing that they are made of better tim
Der than their predecessors, but they
seem to be able to arrive sooner.
They have had opportunities for
education, not always school educa-
tion, but access to the ideas of others
not possessed by the pioneers, each
Of whom had to blaze his own trail
without the guidance of custom or
precedent, and often without knowl-
edge of what his fellow workers in
the same lines of endeavor were d.
ing or had already accomplished.
Another characteristic is noticeable
in the new officers as In the new fur
niture. They seem to be smoother.
more polished and brilliant, and much
Of their training has been along the
lines of diplomacy. The public be
damned" theory is not dead, but
where It exists the theorists who still
hold to 1t are wise enough to keep
1t buried as deep as possible.
Where the previous generation Of rail-
road chiefs was wont to get what 1t
wanted or thought 1t ought to have
by any means that offered, and while
1t had not time for palavering In an
emergency, the newer set of railroad
officials proceeds along different lines,
preferring to gain its ends by coop
Grafton with the public and by less
strenuous methods.-Chicago Tribune.

Has "Eresh ARR Cars.

The Erie railroad has provided one
car in some of its suburban trains for
those who object to the steam heat
and stuffy atmosphere of the regular
cars. The cars carry signs reading
Fresh Air." and are started out with
the doors, ventilators and alternate
side windows wide open. Any person
riding in these cars is privileged to
close the window next to him, but has
no right to insist on the closing of
other ventilation openings. The will
of the majority Of those who ride in
the cars will control the turning on
of the steam, which may be wanted
in very cold weather. Those who find
the cars too cold can always move to
other cars in the trains. This, it is
considered, is a novel but sensible
way of solving the vexatious prob
lem of heating and ventilating cars.

.LIVESLEY
COMPANY
REHEARING

The supreme court this morning
granted the application of T. A.
Livesley & Co, Of Salem for re-
hearing in the case brought by Il
against the Krebs Hop Company,
and which has for its object the re-
straining of the latter from the col
lection of judgment Of $4,000, Sc
cured in the lower court.
This case first made its appearance
in the courts in 1906, when the Krebs
Hop Company, through its attorneys
Carson G. Brown, commenced an ac-
ton to secure a judgment against
Livesley & Company for the violation
of hop contract. The lower court
gave the Krebs Company a judg-
ment for $4,000, and an appeal was
taken by Livesley to the supreme
court. The judgment Of the court
was sustained. The next move of
Livesley & Company was to COM
mence an action In the equity depart
ment of the circuit court by its at
torneys, Kaiser and Minor, in which
it sought to restrain the Krebs Com
pany from collecting its judgment.
The lower court dismissed the action,
and an appeal was prosecuted to the
supreme court. The supreme court
granted an injunction, pending the
litigation, but finally sustained the
lower court in its dismissal Of the
case. Livesley G. Company then
asked for a rehearing, and its appli-
cation was granted this morning by
the supreme court.
This was the only decision handed
down this morning.

KLAMATH MAKES
ITS FIRST TRIP
LEAVES FOR AGENCY LANDING
TODAY WITH LARGE QUANTITY
OF MATERIAL FOR A NEW
WHARF AT THAT PLACE.

The steamer klamath today is
making its first trip on the waters
Of the Upper Lake since It's removal
from Lake Ewauna several weeks
ago. It is going to the Agency land
ing with lumber and other supplies
for the erection OF wharf and depot
to be used there for the accommo-
dation of the traffic to and from
Crater Lake.
Since 1t was announced that this
big lake steamer was to ply on the
waters OF the Upper lake many have
said 1t would prove unsuccessful in
the attempt to operate it on this lake
because of the shallowness of the
water in many places. The trip up
the lake was made with perfect
ease the boat going over the lake with
as much freedom as 1t ever did on
the klamath river and Lake Ewauna
and the future success of this boat
there is assured.
Beginning Immediately after the
Fourth this steamer will make reg
ular trips from the Upper lake land
ing to the Agency landing carrying
freight and passengers en- route TO
Fort klamath. Wood river points
and Crater lake, This will be the
beginning of the tourist traffic co
Crater lake which is expected 60 be
far larger this season than ever be-
fore. Preparations are being made
to place an automobile service on
from Agency landing to Crater lake
to connect with autos from the Med
ford side OF the mountain and pas
sengers who desire to make the trip
through this wonderful scenic coun-
try from San Francisco to Portland.

1000 CARS OF FRUIT
FROM ROGUE RIVER

One thousand cars of fruit will be
shipped from the Rogue River valley
this year, according to a rough esti-
mate made by Professor P. O'Gara,
who has spent the past two weeks in
going over the orchard district, OF
this amount 600 cars win be apples
and 400 cars will be pears. In the
estimate of 1000 cars, peaches are
excluded.
At present the office force of the
Rogue River Fruit & Produce asso-
citation is engaged in getting out a
detailed estimate, which will be
ready within a few days.
THE crop this year is larger than
ever before ON the old trees" states
Professor o'Gara, "and the increase
in output is due as much to this fact
as to the increased acreage There
is any amount of 6-year-old stuff
which is producing two and three
boxes OF fruit.
THE quality of the fruit is excep-
tionally fine. Never have l seen a
better crop than the one of this
year"
Professor and Mrs. o'Gara will
leave Thursday for the east. Mrs.
OGara will visit with her parents In
South Daokta, while the professor
win go on to Washington and return
to Medford on or about July goth.

Reno, New, July 5.--The fighting
game is not dead in Nevada as a re-
suit of yesterdays battle, in the
opinion of Governor Dickerson, as
expressed to the United Press to-
day.
"Billy Muldoon, the famous old
sporting man, pays compliment
which was highly appreciated by Ne
vadans yesterday" said the COVER
nor, when he referred to our state
as the one remaining state in the

Nevadans are proud of the liberties

who we're forced to make a gamble
on life.. has not entirely died out.
II expect considerable agitation
against boxing contests between this
and the convening legislature, but
believe that the conviction is state
wide that Yesterdays battle was on
the level, and that the best man
won, and I do not anticipate repeal
of the law which permits limited

THREATENING
RUSSIA

st. Petersburg, July 5.-Riots are
breaking out throughout southwest
ern Russia as a result of attempts by
the authorities to enforce the sani-
tary laws. Cholera is prevalent in
many localities and the authorities
are seeking to prevent its spread.
Three reasons are assigned for
the opposition of the peasants to the
efforts of the health authorities.
First, they believe that if a pesti-
lence visits them it is by will of
heaven and the authorities have no
right to interfere; second, they OBJ
ject to an intrusion by oficialdom,
and third, they fear i'll treatment of
the sick at the hands of the author
tiles.

FOR THAT
ASSEMBLY
DETAILS OF THE STATE AND
COUNTY SLATE ARE BEING
WORKED OUT BY THE LEAD.
ERs AND INDICATIONS ARE
THAT THE PROCEEDINGS
WILL BE HARMONIOUS.

The preparations making for the
county assembly Of the republicans
next Saturday promise large gath
ering Of the party workers on that
occasion. The assembly will be held
in the afternoon, and there is con-
siderable interest in theenort TO re-
vive the old fashioned nominating
convention. The selection of the rs
delegates from Marion county will
probably be left to a committee to
decide, and those who are to be sent
TO the state assembly are already
being slated. The state delegation
Is understood to be slated for Post
master Clarke of Gervais for state
printer and for DR.. Andrew C. Smith
FOR governor. Smith is a popular
republican of Portland, president Of
ahe state board of health and be-
Iieved to be the strongest man the
assembly can put up. He has the
solid backing of the assembly pro-
moters at Portland and a large fol-
lowing among the medical men and
party leaders of the state.
The County Ticket.
There is a great deal Of Interest
in the assembly ticket for Marion
oounty. For state senator, John A.
Carson seems to be the fayorite and
Senator J. N. Smith will probably be
his running mate. For representa-
tive, w. c. Smith, president of the
United Republican clubs, is most
talked of and will be rendered the
nomination. N. d. Elliott of South
Salem, is another favorite in the
race. J. w. Mckinney seems to be
in the lead for county clerk, and
Chas. Elgin for recorder. Other
parts of the ticket are not yet for
mulated in the minds Of delegates
