Action Was Expected.

The action of the Union Pacific has
been expected for some time, In fact
since the Ogden doorway was closed
in March aud the Denver 6 Rio Grandc
and the Midland shut out from the
northwcs, traffic. The order com
pletcly closes ibe doorway to these
two roads as we'll rs blocking out the
other four big trunk lines named.
1t has been known in railroad cir
clcS that with its road and equipment
in shape to handle the entire traffic
the Union Pacific would not much
longer allow its competitors a part Of
the traffic which it felt should como
10 it.
In the past part Of the through traf.
fic has been handled into Denver over
competing roads and there turned over
TO The Union Pacific. Prior to March
part of tho traffic was carried west
fron Denver over the Rio Grandc and
the Midland and turned over to the
Oregon Short line at OGDEN and to the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation com
napy AT Huntington. Oregon. Both of
these lines arc Hartman properties.

A strong movement is on in the
range towns towards conservative
revision of the game laws. The
popular impression seems to be that
the laws as at present constituted
are too stringent and too technical
to be of benefit to the sportsman.
One deer is not enough for a man
to open camp and besides the home
steader should be allowed to get
what fresh meat he can eat. A
man living with his family forty or
fifty miles in the woods should not
be compelled to pack in meat to
feed his family. AS the state has
established such strong protector
ate over its game, why not make
the state liable for the damage
done by its wards in the settler
gardens. One deer or moose
destroys many dollars worth of
vegetables yearly.

lot of time, and they locked and
finally fired me. I couldn't blame

hard. Right in the dead of Winter,

PERHAPS one very good reason
why the churches complain of their
loss of influence is that the pull
piteers, who deem it their duty to
act as the censors of the amuse-
ments of community, invariably
make unreasonable protest against
any form of pleasure or recreation
which happens to find favor with
young people whom nature has
blessed with bubbling good health.
It seems to matter little to these
sky-pilots," to use the lumber
jack name for them, whether the
amusements they condemn are sur
rounded by ample safeguards for
the protection of young peoples
morals. The protest comes just
the same; the pious hands are rails
ed in holy horror and the young
people are told that thoughts of
pleasure are wicked and that they
must suppress any desire to find an
outlet for their surplus vigor and
bouyancy. .
At its meeting last Monday the
Minneapolis school board gave its
consent to the use of high schools
for dances, it being especially speci-
fed by that body that these dances
were to be under the supervision of
the principal or the teachers and
were not to continue after II p. m.
Quite proper, don't you think?
Yet up bobs Mr.. Pulpiteer with a
yell of protest and calls meeting
of all other pulpiteers to pass res
olutions condemning the action of
the school board. The parents, the
teachers and the children approve
of such dances-only the pulpiteers
disapprove.
Perhaps if Mr.. Pulpiteer would
devote more of his time to seeing
that young people have all the
healthy amusement they need under
proper restrictions; be Good Eel,
low with them and, with spirit OF
approval and encouragement, enter
into their views and plans of max
ing life worth living from their
point of view, there would be fewer
young men 60 wrong and the prob
lem of why girls leave home would
be solved.
We venture the opinion that Mr..
Pulpiteer has been working blindly
along the line of so called reforms
and has accomplished but little.
Far better that the girl go to q
high school dance with her teacher
as her guardian than to attend q
ball where there is mixed crowd
of young men of questionable
morals.-Dai1y Virginian.
