Nebraska State Journal: 1t is well
known that the past history of the
railroads contains many deplorable in
stances of improper financing. 1t was
not supposed, however. that these old
methods had lasted SO far into the
present day. or that the mismahage-
fnent was SO gross. 1T is now fully re-
cognized that the east is the weakest
place in the railroad situation. The
west has gone through the sweat with
out damage to corporation interests of
a. serious nature. Indeed, many Of the
western states have refused to pass
full crew laws n other regulations
of a drastic nature which were favor
ed in the average eastern legislature,
New England is now the center OF
American populism, while Nebraska,
Kansas and the Mississippi valley gen
orally have begun sane n conserva-
tive methods of corporation manage
ment and finance.

Familiarity Breeds Love.

An old quotation runs something to
the effect that familiarity breeds con-
tempt. The theme of Margaret Lynn's
A Stepdaughter of the Prairie is the
reverse of this. The novel shows how
the little girl, who is the stepdaughter
of the title, comes to love the prairie
and all that pertains to it as, with in
creasing years, she learns it's secrets
and understands more and more it's
wonders and beauties. At first far off
on the horizon a group of trees spell
the word Life" for her and she thinks
that only by passing beyond them can
she attain to a knowledge of life. One
day she does pass beyond them, only
to return to her prairie home with a
new vision, a vision which lasts. She
then has an entirely different regard
for her surroundings, and this attach

Whether we shall be successful; but ii

EIroy Mckendree Avery.

Elroy McKendree Avery, American
writer, was born at Erie, Mich, in
1914. He graduated from the univer-
sity of Michigan in 1871, after which
he taught school for several years,
finally locating in Ohio.
From 1898 to 1897 he was a member
of the Ohio state senate. He became
we'll known as the author of text
books on physics and chemistry which
were used in the public schools
throughout the country.
After this he devoted himself to
historical pursuits. In 1904 appeared
his first volume Of a great work en-
titled History of the United States
and It's People from Their Earliest
Records to the Present Time. This
is to be completed in fifteen volumes.
This is his greatest effort. In many
respects one of the best treatments
of the period covered. 1t is unusually
accurate. Much of the data has
been secured at great cost and pains
through the cooperation of eminent
specialists.

Count Rezanov, who fell in love WIN

its historical glimpses Of the early days
of the little settlement and fortress
that has since developed into one OF
the worlds chief cities and commercial
ports.
By this time Mrs. Atherton was gen.
orally regarded as one Of the two fore
most American novelists, dividing
honors with Edith Wharton. Her
next book was unusually strong In
character. It was entitled Ancestors
and was published in 1907.
Three years later, 1910, another
strong novel called The Tower OF
Ivory appeared from her pen. Since
that time Mrs. Anterior has passed
much time in England and on the con-
tinent. Frequent articles from neF
have appeared in magazines during
her travels giving her observations
while abroad and of predictions re-
sulting from close study of certain
phases Of social conditions.

Probably more reading is done in
the summer than at any other seaso

alton are then ripe for good stories.
With this condition in mind it is not
strange that June should be the month
Of fiction. In the case of the Macmil-
Ian Company the June of this year will
see the publication of a more than or
dinarily important list of novels. These
include Eden Phillpott's Faith Tresi-
lion, a tale of the early nineteenth en-
fury, the scene Of which is laid in a re-

DR.. GEORGE Rrandes.

DR.. George Brandes, the illustrious
critic of literature, was among the
passengers on the Vaterland, the new
neutrality-suspicious. liner which ar
rived here last Thursday on its maid
en- voyage. DR.. Brandes will be in.
this country probably less than two
weeks, during which time he will de-
liver several lectures.
Echoes of the tremendous ovation
given to DR.. Brandes when he was in
London last winter have been heard
here. Strange as it may seem, it has
been said hat the honors which were
then heaped upon him have added
considerably to his prestige in his OWE
land.
Something of the general interest
with which he was greeted in London
may be seen from the fact that the
committee which arranged the ban
quet that was given to him was com
posed of Sidney Lee, William Archer,
j. M. Barrie, A. C. Bradley, Edmund
Gosse, John Galsworthy, Lytton, John
Masefeld and Walter Raleigh.
Among DR.. Brande's better known
works is his Main Currents in XIX
Century Literature, published in six
volumes, as follows: l Emigrant Lit
erature, II The Romantic School in
Germany, III The Reaction in France,
" Naturalism in England, V The Ro-
mantle School in France and VI Young

RAILROAD ORDERS
 ESPECIALLY LIGHT
Business in Rolled Steel Products Last Week Not
 Impressive

l New York July 6.-Business in rolled
 steel products last week was not inn
 pressive. Railroad equipment orders
 were especially light, and buying by
 domestic manufacturers was further con
 tracted. Hope is entertained, however,
 of a decided improvement before the | current month is out. In a few days official announcement is expected of the remainder of the Pennsylvania. | 1914, rail orders, covering 75,000 tons
 of No. 100 and 25,000 of No. 120 sec onds, the distribution expected is A percent to the Steel corporation, 22 per cent each to the Pennsylvania and Cambria Steel companies, and per cent each to the Bethlehem and Lack
 awanna Steel companies. Some large
 car orders, about 10000 are expected from the Pacific roads upon the an nouncement of the interstate commerce commission decision
 The most conspicuous manufacturing contracts were 15000 tons of steel line pipe for export, 90 miles of line piee for domestic gas companies, and 10,- 0O0 tons of plates for oil tanks. A few
 more steel bar contracts were placed in the central west, and about 35,000
 tons are under negotiation in the east
 Among the railroad equipment orders were 6750 tons for the Boston and
 Maine, and 2000 tons for the Central Vermont. Car orders were insignificant The Pennsylvania railroad ordered S4 locom motives.
 Steel building orders called for only 5000 tons of fabricated shapes.
