nouncement of the proposed changes
was made today by local officials of the
Northern Pacific, who are preparing
to handle an exceptionally large volume
of business during the summer months.
BY the service to be maintained be-
tween this city and Dayton, it will be
possible for residents of cities along
; the line to make close connections in
Walla Walla with Pasco lines, and in
coming passengers will be able to
reach their homes with little or no
planned to attach a Portland sleeper
to the Pasco train, but for the present
only the Seattle and Spokane sleepers
are to be carried.

become effective February q, the
morning train from Dayton will leave
that place at 7:45 O'Clock, making close
connections here with the train for

Appoint a
Delegate

AT special meeting of the local
Ministerial association held this morn
ing at the Y. NJ. c.. A, Rev. NJ. H.
Marvin, pastor of the Wilbur Mem
orial church was appointed delegate
to the Trades Council of the city. The
union also passed a resolution asking
that delegate, representing the
Trades Council be sent to the Minis
terial union.
The purpose of this action on the
part of the association is so that the
two organizations may be brought
in closer relationship, and also as
common courtesy, the ministers feel
ing that the two organizations owe it
to each other to keep in closer touch
with their respective doings.

After he had been at the university
some weeks, Gore with four other
freshmen were taken oath one night
and for three hours were compelled to
keep up a huge bondfire for the bene-
fit of their tormenters The work was
enough to keep score of men busy
but in their efforts to please their su-

care possible of himself, he after

Cancer Research

The civilized world is looking for some
means of combating the spread of cancer,
an afflietion of mankind that has ex-
listed from time immemorial Even the
President of the United States feels con-
strained to ask Congress in a special mes
sage to make a special appropriation
for the scientific study of cancer in fishes,
his purpose being not so much to save
the lives of fishes as TO increase our
knowledge of the disease as it exists in
man. The presumption is that cancer
in fishes is not dissimilar in its origin to
cancer in man. In some instances cancer
is severe affliction in the finny tribe.
and at all times cases of it in fishes can
be found
We have a bureau of public health and
marine hospital service attached to the
treasury department, and the President
thinks its scope could be widened to the
benefit of the nation. Senator Owen de-
sires department of public health, and
perhaps as the country becomes richer
and more populous this will be the out
come. A department would almost GER
tainly begin crusade against cancer.
On Sunday last cable brought intel
ligence that DIR. Eugene Louis Doyen, the
great French physician and surgeon, had
in hand a liquid which in conjunction
with electricity will cure cancers ''of the
skin and of the body" This is impor-
tant if true. The new remedy is called
and a waiting world would be
glad to hear that the new remedy is as
efficient as DR.. Dowen says 1t is. Any
American physician can procure micolysine
through the American embassy in Paris
hat is to say, he can procure enough of
t in that way to test it's efficiency and
value.

Unpaid Letter Postage

If a person forgets to put a stamp on
a letter. that letter is not thrown away,
but it is held at the office where the
letter was mailed until clerk can for
ward to the person to whom the letter is
addressed a card notifying him that a
letter without a stamp awaits him and
that 1t will be forwarded to him if he will
send lawful postage. This means that the
postage of the delayed letter will prac-
tically be cents, for cents must be
put on the letter that forwards . cents,
either in money or stamps, to pay the
postage on the delayed letter.
The plan of the postal department in
wolves extra expense and extra delay
and extra trouble in many cases, and
as the postoffices are conducted by the
people for the people better system
should be devised. If the letter were
forwarded to the office it is addressed
to, the government could there collect
the greater share of the money that it
now collects at the other end of the let
ter's route Instead of devislng a rule to
perplex people the Postmaster General
should try his hand on one constructed
to favor the people. The Postmaster Cen
eral was not appointed, however, to look
after unpaid letters. He is expected to
renominate Mr.. Taft in 1912, and that is
certainly a good-sized task for any man.

THE FOOT FEMININE

From the Washington Posi-.
An Italian professor has been making
an international study of feet, and has
reached conclusions that are not likely
to be welcomed with feminine approval.
He is not a diplomatic savant he does
not join the poet in praising those little
feet that peep in and out beneath the
edge of the skirt. He bluntly reduces to
mere per cent of the total those wom-
en- who have perfect feet, and he puts
the blame upon the shoes of high heels
and pointed toes.
Certainly there is nothing novel about
his conclusion. 1t has been stated be-
fore. But American women may learn
from him that If their feet are small
they are too broad Women of the Latin
races have, in his view, the prettiest
feet, although the French have contorted
theirs by shoes that do not fit Perhaps
that may be news of value to the Amer
lean manufacturers of footgear who seek
to increase their exports. This professor
apparently. has been 9scrutinizing also the
marble feet of statues, as he concludes
that the maids of Athens, some OF whom
must have been models, were of pedal
excellence. He recommends, therefore,
the wearing of sandals and going bare
foot in the house. Fancy an afternoon
tea. with the ladies all treading the rugs
with unprotected soes. 1t is not ungal-
liant to suggest that some revelations
might be too frank for comfort This is
not subject for a professors edict. 1t

French Electors at the Polls

comes necessary.
Premier BRAND is himself a socialist
but he is a socialist who knows he cannot
secure all he wants in a minute. He
is patient, strong, popular, and one of
the best speakers in France. He leads
at present the republicans or radicals
and he goes to the people on a record
that boasts an income tax and old age
pensions. and general progress in the pub
lie schools.
The monarchists cannot upset the third
republic, neither can the imperialists.
Any effort by the former would recall
the deeply historic days of 1889, and any
effort on the part of the latter would
bring back to Frenchmen the shame
of Sedan. Nor is it believed the cleri-
Gals will make an attempt to punish the
party for what happened a few years ago.
The socialists WILL however, contest many
seats. and the premier WILL therefore,
have to combat his old associates and
followers. 1t is safe to predict that the
republicans led by NJ. BRAND will have
a decisive working majority in the cham
Der of deputies-a body that is elected to
serve four years and that makes and
unmakes ministries and really rules the
republic.

Opening Contest of the Season

The baseball season of 1910 will be
opened today at West End park The
park itself is chiefly remarkable for its
perspective, is a Stag pile. Its usefulness,
however, as a scene of the national game
u nearly ended, and the last half of the
games of the season will be transferred
to a better field. even if a Stag pile be
wanting. The fan will not notice the
lack of Stag when he gains conyeniences
In every other respect.
At the opening of the season all teams
are properly pennant winners, and no
better fortune could happen in this sport
and league than to have the eight teams
remain evenly strong. to the last days
Of the season. Expert students of the
eight teams say this is a promise at the
outset.
As the season wanes all cannot, how
ever stay in the first division, and the
winnowing of four teams to make up that
division should be conducted in a sports
manlike manner. The contention should

The Amazon is about 1914 miles long; ii
is four miles wide 1000 miles from the sea.
The Yukon is almost as long as the Mis-
sissippi and is believed to discharge at
least as great volume of water. Its
length is estimated at 2044 miles. During
part of the year 1t Is navigable for 1900
miles. The Mississippi, from its source
to it's mouth, is 5000 miles Lonesome say
1850. The Missouri is longer than that
part of the Mississippi above the junction
of the two rivers. From the source of the
Missouri to the gulf it is about 1890 miles.
The total navigable length of the Missis-
sippi river and its tributaries is over
1900 miles following the river windings
and 5000 miles measured in straight lines
With the Lower Mississippi the Missouri
length is about 1900 miles-the longest
river in the world. Its length from the
source of the Jefferson to its junction
with the Mississippi is about 2950 miles

THE Age-Herald is the best business
getter' l know of" said H. d. Williams
of the smith-Willams & Bass Real Es-
tate Co.
Sunday morning | placed a small dis
play advertisement in the real estate
columns, offering two pieces of property,
and by 10 o'clock Monday morning / had
sold both pieces, aggregating $1,000.
These were the quickest and most direct
sales I have ever made from newspaper
advertising and l am glad to indorse The
Age-Herald as the best advertising me-
dunn in the city.
The real estate market is pretty ac-
tive continued Mr. Williams. Il have
made a number OF residence property
sales lately and this is a strong barom-
eter of good times. Birmingham is the
best town in the country. l Travelled all
over the west last fall-from the Mis-
slssppi to the Pacifc-and there is not
a district or section anywhere that APP
proaches Birmingham in business hustle
and splendid promise for near-future big
development"

Annual Reunion of The Veterans

Mobile is making preparations that
the veterans of the Confederacy when
they meet in that city on April &c, q and
IS. Mobile proposes, in fact, to make
the twentieth reunion notable. 1t is, more
over, city that held out against the
federal forces to the very last. 1t be-
came the scene of some of the interesting
conflicts of the great civil struggle and
in it lie buried Admiral Raphael semmes
and Father Ryan.
No doubt the Confederate Veterans will
gather there in large numbers to renew
the recollections of the days of war, and
to gather hope and courage in their de-
clining years. Birmingham is preparing
dents who are unable to meet their own
expenses, and every other town in the
south should do likewise. This is a Just
tribute to the men who fought for the
south, and it should become a custom
that should never be neglected Each
locality can well afford to send its ex-
Confederates to the few reunions they will
live to attend.

JAMES J. HILLS LIMOUSINE

From the New York Sun.
James ]. Hill used to patronize the
Inter-Met on his trips to and from his
office in the Mutual Life building. In
variably he travelled on the subway or
elevated, just as Mr.. Hartman always
did. But latterly Mr.. Hill has been
contributing to that cost of high liv-
ing which he deprecates in his speeches.
An automobile takes him to and
fro now. Friends suggest that If the
farmer along the Greet Northern has
his touring car Mr.. Hill make be par
doned for travelling In a like vehicle.
They point out also that Mr.. Hills
automobile Is a small one and that it
has a limousine body which shelters
the occupant from public gaze and re-
lieves him from all charge of osten-
tation and display. Moreover, Mr. Hill
still wears the same old hat.

favor of the faithful umpire That official
knows that a single oversight or mistake
will condemn him in the eyes of spec
tators or of the opposing team, and he
will not wilfully mar his own happiness
in that way Be generous to one who
is filing a difficult position. He is all

the spot without reflection and without
of his viewpoint. He is a
mere man, and mere men are fallible.
