OUR COASTAL CITIES
Greedy Atlantic Said to Be Slow
Iy EnguIfing Them.
Government oeolosist Declares That
In Time Coast Cities From Bos-
ton to New Orleans VIII
Be Under Water.

Boston.-The time will come when
that coast line of the United States
which boasts such cities as New York,
Boston, Baltimore. Washington and
Galveston will be 300 miles out to sea
and those cities will have been sub
merged. The whole Atlantic coast Is
slowly sinking into the ocean So rap
i'd is the sinking that evidences OF 1t
and measurements of 1t within the last
decade are now to be had. That the
rate of the sinking is being accel-
Grated, and that 1t may be much fast
er In the future than 1t has been In
the past Is the claim made by c. A.
Davis, government geologist, who has
of late been piling up masses OF evil
dence In this connection
He holds that there Is no need on
the part OF the residents of the coast
cities to scramble to the housetops
today or tomorrow. But. as sure as
the geologic tendencies which have
gone on unchanged for hundreds OF
thousands of years and are now at
work continue, the people of the ma
tion's great eastern cities will be grad
ualIy pulled beneath the water level.
Biologists have long recognized the
fact that the Atlantic coast line was
once much farther out than 1t is now.
There is a line from 100 to 400 miles
of the present coast at which the wa
ter suddenly gets much deeper. Out
to that distance the water Is generally
some 900 feet deep. Then 1t pllnges
suddenly and becomes ten times as
far to the ocean bottom. The men OF
the coast survey have traced this line
throughout the length of our coast line
and find It similar all along. The ge-
ologists say that the continent once
reached out this far and that here was
the coast line. But gradual de-
cline through the ages has caused that
line to retreat until now 1t is where
we know It.
From a geological standpoint this
has happened in comparatively recent
times. 1t has all been done since the

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMoR

Il think the Cuticura Remedies arc
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. Ny mother had a child
who had rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t
did NO good. In few days the head
was solid mass; running sore. 1t
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful At
last We remembered Cuticura RENE
dies We got dollar bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, box of Cuticura
Ointment. and bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed tho head with the Cuticura
Soap. and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the childs head was clear and free
from eczema, and 1t has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had beautiful head of hair

The Point Of View.

This is true story. A certain belle
was present at recent Chopin recital.
During the March Funebre," her eyes
glistened and her whole attitude OF
rapt attention WAS as If the music had
entranced her very soul. Her whole
face was expressive of admiration and
intense interest. When the pianist
had finished, the escort OF Miss Belle"
turned to her and said: How beau

glacial period. This brings 1t into the
new. In fact it is positively known
to be now going on.
At Rye Beach, N. H., there is a shelv-
ing beach which proves positively that
there has been much greater decline
In what would appear to be a compare
lively short time When the tide runs
unusually low at Rye Beach there ap-
pears from the bottom of the sea what
looks like a great forest which has
been cut over with but the stumps of
the old trees remaining. One who
makes SO bold as to follow the re-
treating waves finds that this is. in
fact, forest of old tree stumps still
remaining intact ON the floor OF the
ocean.
1t has been found from Maine to
Florida that at level of from ten to
twenty feet down there was originally
the bed of forest. Stumps of great
trees still In reasonable state of
preservation are found at these depths.
The original mouth of the Hudson
river is now 200 miles out to sea. The
ships follow Its old channel In leav-
ing port even now. Geologically it is
proven that New York cannot endure.
In the ages that are to come there will
be an aquatic Pompeii out from the
coast and the port of New York will be
somewhere up toward West Point.
Likewise will Boston be submerged.
Baltimore will disappear about the
same time. and great portions of
Washington. the nations capital will
have kept pace with them.
The great Mississippi is bringing
down deposits to to raise It's delta and
counterbalance the decline. But man
is fencing on these waters and pre-
venting the overflow of the lands sur
rounding, and the river will gradually
become a dyked stream above the
housetops of the people on the farms
and In cities. So low is New Orleans
that 1t will be one of the first OF the
cities to sink below the. sea level and
be a municipality high walled against
the enemy. the sea. Galveston has al
ready felt the encroachment OF the wa
ters and been forced to build itself q
sea wall. and the decline OF the land
level may have played no small part
in the devastation of the waters dur

HONEST CONFESSION

There are no fairer set of men on

A Woman's Letter.

Women. it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
NJ. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There Is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter just
as she employs a glance or a smile,
in y way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all. does woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does woman's parasol
keep of the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed. just like the letters Of some
honest grocer. who writes, I send you
five pounds Of coffee because he
really does send you five pounds Of
coffee"

FACES
A GENERAL
REVOLUTION

Madrid, Sept. 1S.-Martial law was
declared here this afternoon when a
general strike which is distinctly
revolutionary in character, started.
Serious disturbances are in progress.
All the streets are occupied by
troops.
The cabinet spent some time today
in considering the advisability of
suspending the constitution so that
there would be less difficulty in cop
ing with the general strikes which
are rapidly assuming revolutionary
proportions.
At Barcelona, where a walkout IS
expected, a plot was discovered for a
campaign of terrorism which it is be-
lieved is being engineered by Spanish
and foreign anarchists.
1t is doubtful if an outbreak can be
prevented. Strikes are impending at
Corunna and Ferreol and already are
in progress at Cadi2, Huelva, Valen-
cia, Seville, Gijon, Balboa and Sara
gossa.
There has been fighting in all the
latter cities and the railroads are be-
ing demolished and the bridges dyna-

site on one side of the street where
the Oregon Electric has trackage
rights. If the Southern Pacific can
not get onto the street I am at the
mercy Of the one company for cars
and routing my freight, or else pay
an additional switching charge Of
two to five dollars car. II one com
pany can leave cars standing In the
way and block the street, as Is some
times unavoidable, we are cut out of
all switching privileges from the
other lines. This is a case where
the Oregon Electric wants to beat out
the Southern Pacific by annulling
the Welch franchise. If Welch had
no switching contract with the
Southern Pacific the Oregon Electric
would not be fighting to keep Welch
off Front street. Welch holds the
key to the situation, and is in a po-
sition to protect us business men
against monopoly of switching cars
on Front street, and we do not want
to See his franchise annulled. We
want both Hill and Hartman lines
to have trackage privileges on Front
and Trade streets, and we do not
want either Of them shut off,"
What Welch Has Done.
A history Of the operations of A.
Welch at Salem and In the William
cite valley Is of interest at present.
He acquired interests in Salem seven
years ago, when he took the old Sa-
lem street car lines OF three separate
gauges, and made them stanard
gauge. He put in new rails and ties
and new cars, made the lines pay,
and then sold them to the Portland
Railway, Light &c Power company.
Five years ago he started the pres
ent Oregon Electric, built three or
four miles, got most of the right Of
way to Portland, and sold 1t to the
present company. He next started
the Portland, Salem, Eugene & East
ern, put in street car lines at Albany
and Eugene and Springfield, built
two miles at Salem, spent altogether
$475,000 on this property In three
counties. He has recently acquired
the Carter road from Corvallis south
and Is building Il miles. Mr.. Welch
has spent $4,000 ON his street car
lines at Salem this year and has OPP
Grated cars continuously, and at
loss. Mr.. Welch has spent $4,000
in paving on Salem streets, and this
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-09-18

The fight of the big transportation
interests centerlng at Salem will be
renewed early this week in Judge
Galloway's court, when the suit to
annul the Welch franchises will
come up for trial. The Southern Pa
fic franchise on Front street, two
miles of the most valuable manufac-
turing and wholesale district, ex-
pired September 8. A franchise had
been granted A. Welch, the head of
the Portland, Salem Eugene G East
ern electric railroad, and a contract
was made by the S. P. company with
that company to handle its cars on
Front street. The Welch franchise
allows him to double track that
street, and on top of that the city
council gave the Oregon Electric, or
Hill system, another franchise on
Front street, with the right to put
industrial switches inside the curb
lines. The correspondence between
the city government and the Welch
corporation wSll show that Welch
was willing to give up one of his
tracks, providing the city would give
him industrial switches outside the
curb line. This involves the right to
switch Southern Pacific cars to any
point on Front street, and, If it is
not conceded the Oregon Electric can
block the street with cars, and make
1t almost impossible to deliver S. p.
cars anywhere on Front street. The
real issue In canceling the Welch
franchise is shutting the Southern
Pacific off Front street entirely,
which. with the rapid growth of in
dustries, would be calamity to the
business interests of the city. Not a
single property owner has so far
moved to have the Welch franchise
on Front street annulled. Business
men want cars Of all lines to be
switched and delivered ON Front
street, and no monopoly granted to
any one corporation. In that spirit
the city council gave joint occu-
pancy with all switching privileges
on Trade street to the oregon Elec-
trio, when the Southern Pacific has
had its tracks on that street for over
80 years.

DEAD FROM
HIS WOUNDS
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRB.l

Kieff, Sept 1S.-Shot through
lungs by Bogrof, an alleged anar-
chist as he sat in the opera house
here, Premier Stolypin OF Russia,
succumbed to his wounds today
The dying prime minister gave a
fine display of courage as the end
drew on, He made light of his own
suffering. His last hours were occu-
pied in giving his official aids final
advice as to how to make real Rus
slams of the people in the outlying
provinces of the empire. His only
comment on his own condition was
81 feel death is coming and I am
content"
Fearing that Stolypin's death
would result in Jewish massacres,
there was a wholesale exodus of
Jews today as soon as Stolypin's
demise became known.
The authorities believe that the as
sassin was employed by coalition Of
of Jews and Firms who were oppos-
ing Stolypin's Russianiation plans.
