An Idaho Eye Opener.

A condition developed in the rec
ent hearing before the Washington
state railroad commission which
should be an eye opener to Idaho
people
It was claimed by the controller
OF the Great Northern Railroad testi-
flying before the commission Of that
state, that the Great Northern was
able the last year to make only three
per cent out Of its transportation
business in that state. II was also
shown that the same railroad was
able to make only three per cent last
year out of its transportation busi-
ness in that state. 1t was also shown
that the same railroad was able to
make only three per cent in Montana,
North Dakota, Minnesota and Wis
consin.
But the fact was sited that the
total earnings of the system made
II possible to pay seven per cent and
Mr.. Drew was asked to explain how
II was that when his road could earn
only three per cent in Washington
in Montana, in Wisconsin, in Min
nesota and in North Dakota, it would
still pay seven per cent dividends.
And this was what was shown by
the reply:
Idaho with a little less than 100
miles of the main line of this road
made up the difference between the
three per cent earned in all the other
states through which the system runs
and the seven per cent earned'o on the
entire system.
Idaho is the only state through
which that system runs which has
not a railroad commission
Idaho exacts less taxes from this
railroad than any other state through
which it runs!
OF less interest locally but scarce
ly less interesting in the information
given of railway methods of financ-
ing it also developed from Mr.
Drews evidence that not only does
the railroad pay seven per cent divi-
dends earned almost wholly from
Idaho5s 100 miles of trakc. but it
creates a fund Of several millions
more for permanent improvements
and betterments, has an insurance
fund, a 100000 depreciation fund
and acknowledges no profit from
the express company operating over
its lines, though as shown elsewhere
these express companies e. I'm inn
mense profits, all of which are paid
ont of the earnings of the company
but all added to and made a part
of the capital invested in the com
pany's property upon which divi-
dends are demanded forever after.
Is it any wonder that Chairman
Fairchild of the commission. ex-
claimed: 81 would like no know
where this is going to enl!"- Capital

All entered broad reception-hall, where
an open fire was cracking cheerily.
81 knew you'd be chilled, Dick, after your
long drive, explained his sister Maise; tea
will be ready in a moment, Mr. Kingston.
All, here are the others.
Kingston was well acquainted with the
elder Willoughby bluff and burly, clad in
blazer and knickerbockers, who greeted him
with hearty hand-clasp. The others he
identified al a glance. The placid-featured,
keen-eyed, aristocratic septuagenarian was
undoubtedly Judge Desmond His gait be-
trayed the military man in Colonel Mathews.
Lastly came the Count de Sacran forty or
forty-hye years old, Of medium height and
build, whose jet-black hair contrasted strik-
ingly with his palld countenance.
The conversation was Of the usual desul-
tory, light FIVE O'Clock variety. Kingston,
for man supposed to be absorbed in scen-
tihc pursuits, displayed an amazing interest in
cakes and tea. After a little he found himself
chatting with de Sacran.
Yes" the Count was saying, this is
great country, a surprising country, an as
founding country It overwhelms ore with
its vastness and its possibilities. AT times
its grand diversity what you call variety
quite bewilders me. But love il"
More even than your native France?"

"Trust to me"
That dinner hour was long remembered by
those who participated in it. Beginning with
a testing allusion to his early life as strug-
Cling ambitious journalist, Kingston opened
a running fire of comment and Renaissance
that focused all attention on him. He
seemed to have been everywhere and to have
met everybody worth knowing
There was one among his auditors, how
