SAT- Es IN BIG HOTELS.
valuables Kept In Them by Guests For
Years at a Time.

IodTa az q iituOs
A woman walked up to the counter
of a fashionable hotel and asked for
package of valuables which was in the
safe.
IF had not wanted one particular
thing suppose should have left the
package where 1t was for another
three years" she said to the clerk.
Yes, said the clerk In answer to
question after the woman left, that
packet had really been in our safe for
three years. Why, we have all sorts
of valuable papers, jewelry and even
money that are intrusted to our keep
ing for years at a time. People seem
to prefer a hotel safe to a safety de-
post vault. One reason perhaps Is that
1t costs nothing. Another is that the
standard of hotel clerks has improved.
st is astonishing the amount of jew
elry that people keep In hotel safes. or
course the owners have originally stop
ped In the hotel, but they go away,
leaving their valuables, and | have
known such persons to be gone as
much as two years and never make an
inquiry about their property In tnat
time.
"To show you how much confidence
people have In hotels and their en-
| ployees | might mention that the other
day man came In here and put four
| $1,000 bills in an envelope, wrote his
name on the latter and asked me to
put 1t in the safe. Not long ago an
other man actually did the same thing
with sew en- $4,000 bills"
| The clerks of several other hotels
talked In a similar strain without any
outside suggestion.
''Pl bot have handled more than o
million dollars worth of jewelry to
day." said one. Look here" and be

big jewelry cases on the counter, bu

Nay, verify, the immediate fail
ure of the Oregon Short Line is
not anticipated, though its OPP
position to a railroad commission
is without doubt based upon pre-
sent conditions.-Boise Capital
News.
The recently issued report
of the interstate railroad com
mission shows that the Ore
gon Short Line has earned ten
per cent on every foot of its 1000
miles of road, above all expens
es and depreciation by wear and
tear. Still the specious argument
has been advanced by those who
oppose a state railroad commits
sion, that the 0. S. L., running as
it does through new and compar
atively undeveloped country is
eking out precarious existence,
and should not be further handi-
capped in this strife with the
wolf, by having the restraining
hand of even a fair minded com
mission, laid upon its present un-
restricted and unbridled license
to even up the naturally unfavor-
able conditions under which it
is at present serving an unappre-
ciative public, by doing unto that
same public just about as it darn
ed pleases. And further, that no
diffident, and timid railroad
should be scared out of our state
by such unfriendly legislation, as
asking for fair deal would be.
Yet there is abundance of evil
dence in that same interstate com
mission report to show that the
Oregon Short Line is sailing down
annually as much or more cleai
cash than any other road west OF
Chicago, if it does run through
"a iackrabbit country" as some
of it's friends with overtaxeC
lachrymal glands, have so beanti
fully and feelingly put it, in por
traying its sad and almost ship
wrecked condition. The GLOBE

oNDEKGROUND CABLE FROM
NEW YORK To WA SrrTNnroN

When President Taft was ;nauon
iated on March 4, 1909, wind and sleet
ana ram combined to isolate Washing
Ton from the rest of the world as com
pletely as if communication by tele.
phone or telegraph had W existed.
engineers have since tackled the
problem of making the recurrence of
such intolerable conditions an impos-
slbllIty, and with considerable success
washington, Philadelphia and New
York are now being connected by the
longest underground cable in the
world. 1t will soon be ready to carry
a large number of both telephone and
telegraph messages in complete def
ance of the elements.
Designing and laying this cable is
an engineering feat that is attracting
worldwide attention. AS many as AS
wires are contained in the two-and-a-
half-inch lead sheath which forms the
outer covering.
This is termed a compost duplex
cable. Every device known to engi-
n%eering is employed to obtain the
highest possible efficiency from the
many strands of wire it contains. BY
means of phantom circuits-the term
by which the telephone man designates
his ability to use two pairs Of wires
for three eonversations-the number Of
telephone circuits possible is greatly
increase. The wires can be made to
carry a double DAD Of telegraph com
munications by the use of the duplex
method. Accordingly the seventy-four
pairs of wires will be able to transmit
simultaneously ninety-nine telephone
and 296 telegraph messages.
The cable is to be shipped on more
than 1900 reels, The total weight is
nearly 5000 tons, and its shipment will
require the use of 100 freight cars.
The wires are insulated by 140 tons
of paper ribbons, equaling more than
"a, 900 miles in length. The length of
copper wire used in the cable is 10000
miles, nearly enough to girdle the
earth at the equator.-Newark, N. j.,

FRUIT AS MEDICINE

Apples, pears and ounces are all
members of a bontanical family that
includes the roses and is scientifically
known as phrus malus. Incidentally,
the apple has a wider range of growth
than any other fruit, and the United
States is the largest grower of any
country in the world. Ripe apples
eaten raw and thoroughly masticated,
are excellent for digestive troubles.
The pear shares the medicinal quail
ties just recited, and in addition, is
somewhat more easily digested by
weak stomachs than is the apple. The
ounce is only used in the form of pre-
serves, as a rule. 1t is said that ow.
ing to its excessive astringency when
raw, it is employed by the peasantry
of Europe to stop hemorrages by
placing slices of it on wounds.
The curative powers of the grape are
established facts, as the history of the
q cures in which the vine plays the
chief part, testifes.
Rhubarb, owing to the large proper
ton of oxalic acid hat it contains, is
a capital anti-seorbutic. In the case of
minor forms of scurvy, it acts as a
curative. The young plant, when
stewed and eaten at breakfast, is of
great assistance to the constipated.
Its laxative qualities in general are
well known.
Bananas should be used with caution
by the c~onstipated.
The fig possesses laxative powers of
a high order. This is also true of
dates and tamarinds.
Peaches, apricots and n~ectarines
have marked laxative effects.
The plum, greengage, damson, and
so forth, all have medicinal qualities,
Blaeckberries, ~raspberries, buckle
berries and most other berries act as
blood purifiers and laxatives.-From
