Pablo herd, on the Flathead Indian
reservation in Montana, and 10 head
are from the Conrad herd at Kalispell
Mont. We expect to receive so moro
head from Pablo, who now is hunting
down and killing the outlaws that are
left on his range. with the view to
rounding up the rest and shipping
them to us in the spring. From the
Conrad herd we expect to get 10 more
buffaloes.
THE first consignment of buffaloes
was received at Buffalo park two
years ago. We raised last year 1876
calves and lost seven head in the same
period, The herd appears to be
thriving splendidly The park is in
rolling prairie country with numer-
Gus hills, many fresh water lakes and
considerable bluff timber. 1t consists
Of 100000 acres, under n fence which
is a miles long. butt of Page wire,

for Is years in charge OF the first ma

Alberta. 1t is the intention to stock
all of these parks with buffalo and
other indigenous animals from the
Buffalo park. as soon as the increase
OF the herds there will permit.
Il am now opening the new Jasper
park, in the Yellowstone pass through
the Rocky mountains which is ira
versed by the lines of both the Great

area of 4500 square miles and much

Three Bills Passed.

Salem. Ore, Jan. 21.-Passage of
three bills by the senate, and defeat
by the Eaton forces in the house. and
appointment of the joint COMMITTEES
to investigate the eastern Oregon asy-
lum muddle sums up the accomplish
ments of yesterdays session of the
legislature.
Bills passed in the senate were of
comparatively small Importance. One
of these removes the five day period
allowed for recording instruments for
conveyance, another changes the name
OF the state reform school to train
ing school, and the third permits ad-
option Of infants in counties other
than the one in which the adopting
persons reside.
The house killed off a move by the
Eaton forces in the form of a motion
which would have required the reso-
lutions committee to report out all
resolutions In the order in which they
were introduced. The Eaton people
are finding this committee a grave
yard for much OF their thunder. They
were again beaten, the house decid-
Z ing to allow the resolutions commit
tee to pursue its own pleasure.

New York City, Jan. 23.-Paul Nor
ton, late president of the Equitable
Life Assurance company, gave his last
interview to the United Press shortly
before his death. 1t was in answer
tc statements by Governor Hiram
johnson Of California, in which the
railroads were arraigned for their al
legged hostile attitude to the interests
Of the people, and said individual
rights must be considered greater
than property rights.
BY Paul Morton.
I would be sorry to think that
there is not some fair platform upon
which individual rights and property
rights might stand equally. l do not
question that every pattiotic citizen
considers the rights Of men paramount
to the rights Of property, but that
certainly does not justify the public
in ignoring the rights OF the latter.
Ny observation has been that
where any railroad, any corporation
or any individual secures a franchise
or anything in the way Of special
privilege which Is unfair TO the pub
lie, or has succeeded in any way in
having the law constructed unreason-
ably favoring the said property or in
dividual that sooner or later these
special privileges were taken away
and that in taking them away, the
public generally sees TO 1t that the
corporation or individual enjoying
them pays good interest for their use.
have always believed that rail-
roads should not engage in politics
i think 1t most important that they
should keep out Of politics. But
think IL is just as fair that the poll
ticians should leave the railroad
alone. When ! say that the politici-
ans should leave the railroads alone,
] mean that politicians should not aid
them and then use them as means to
secure office.
1t is not difficult for the railroads
to refrain from mixing in politics IL
the politicians attack them. / think
the railroads should be regulated but
! believe they are entitled to the same
fair treatment that individuals are. I

LAKE COUNTY HAS
LARGE BORAX DEPOSIT

What is said to be the second larg-
est deposit of borax in the United
States is located in Lake county and
will be worked extensively during the
coming summer. The borax lies in
the Albert, Summer and Alkali Lake
valleys and there have been 3400
mineral locations made within these
districts. The borax is said to be al
most pure and compares in value with
the large deposits in Death Valley,
Cal, and the Lake County beds are
easily accessible at all times.
A company of claim owners has
been formed and machinery will be
brought in this summer and extensive
development work carried on. A
large force Of men will be employed
in mining the borax beds.

believe the railroads should accord
everybody fair treatment in return.
The railroads are owned largely by
frugal people of the country, people
who are economical, who invest their
savings, indirectly or through savings
banks, trust companies or by pur-
chasing life insurance. The life in
surance companies Of the country are
reported to own nearly one eighth Of
all the bonds issued by American rail-
roads, and this, by itself, scatters the
ownership of the railroads to an ex-
tent little understood by the people
generally.
Corporations are just as essential
to the welfare of the country as
freight cars. They are merely agen-
cies through which the commerce Of
the country is being transacted and,
as I've said before, consider our
great industrial combinations as the
battleships Of commerce with which
we capture the worlds business.
The foreign markets are most es-
sential to our manufacturers and in
order to reach them there must be the
utmost cooperation by capital, by la
Dor, by the government itself which
should do everything it reasonably
can to promote harmonious relations.
/ think that corporate practice has
been much improved in the last five
years. Things that were once thought
right now are not tolerated. / be-
lieve out Of all the agitation we have
