R. R. COMMISSION
VISITS CAPITAL CITY

Railroad Commissioners Bartine
and Shaughnessy left Thursday for
Washington, d. c., to appear be-
| fore the Interstate Commerce com.
mission at the hearing set for the
cath inst, which is reopening OF
the inter mountain cases. These
intermountain cases include what
is popularity known as the Reno
case which was made up by the
Nevada commission and presented
to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission several years ago. The
Reno case was subsequently mer-
ged in what are known as the in
termountain cases. These are the
Reno, Spokane, Phoenix and Salt
Lake cases. Instead of rendering
a decision in each of these cases,
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion undertook to dispose of the
matter by a couple of sweeping
orders which it was supposed
would settle the entire question.
This course was never satisfactory
to the Nevada commission and 1t
entered its very earnest protest "a
gainst it. The evidence i'll the
Reno case conclusively proved
that Nevada points were entitled
to rates as good as those applied
at the terminals, if not better, and
the members of our state commits
sion have always felt that speci-
fic order should have been made
in the Reno case. The Interstate
Commerce commission, however,
saw it differently and undertook
to cover the entire situation by two
sweeping orders.
The result to date is that the
Nevada commission has practically
secured the elimination of about
10 per cent of the obnoxious back
haul charges. But there is still
work to be done. In October, 1914,
a hearing was held at Chicago be-
fore Examiner Thurtell. As re-
suit the previous orders were mod
fled in way, and the railroads
were granted some additional con-
cessions, mainly upon the ground
that water competition had largely
increased by reason of the COM
pleton of the Panama canal. Al,
that hearing evidence was given

THE MAINE TEACHERS MEETING

The executive committee of the Maine
Teachers Association presents the pre-
liminary program of the 18th annual
meeting which will be held Oct 26th
and 9th at Portland. In this conven-
ton are included the meetings of the
Maine Schoolmasters' Club, the Maine
Branch of the American School Peace
League, Maine Council of Teachers of
English, the Maine Branch of the Ma
tional Council of Mothers and Parent
Teachers Association
The program is considered one of the
strongest ever offered to the members
of this association. The number of gen.
eral sessions has been increased from
two to three and the speakers for each
of these sessions are too we'll known to
make further comment necessary. In
the group and department meetings the
executive committee has for the first
time adopted generally the plan of pro-
vidng paid speaker. The revenue of
the association must determine whether
such policy can be continued.
The two school music festivals which
have ready been held have proved of
such general interest and have received
so much favorable comment that it is
felt that this should if possible be made
an annual feature of the meeting of the
association.
Very low rates have been offered by
the railroads for attendance of teachers
at this meeting. These rates are con-
siderably less than have been in force
for other meetings and will offer an ad-
ded inducement for all teachers to take
advantage of them.
Arrangements have been made for
hearing the splendid organ in the Port
land city hall auditorium. This feature
alone is sufficient to make attendance at
this convention worth while, and it is
hoped that the registration will De the
largest that the association has ever
known
All persons interested in education are
invited to become members of the asso-
citation. The membership fees are ST. 90
for men and SO cents for women.
Members receive the association badge
which entities them to admission to all
meetings of the association without cost.
The officers of the Maine Teachers
Association are as follows: President,
H. H. Randall, Auburn; vice president,
William B. Jack, Portland; secretary,
Glenn W. Starkey, Augusta; treasurer,
Miss Helen M. King, Portland; assistant
secretary, Miss Mallian M. Reed, Gardi-
ner; auditor, C. A. Record, Sanford;

to return to "the States" and arrang-

The Pixies Peak Stampede.

In the summer of 1858 gold was dis
covered in the vicinity of Pixies Peak,
some twenty or thirty miles from Fort
Laramie, and there was rush across the
Plains to the new gold diggings. Some
of the wagons of the gold seekers bore
this inscription: pixies Peak or Bust"
but on their return, some weeks or
m onths later, they bore the one word,
Busted Gold was there, but not in
sufficient quantities for profitable work
ing. The route there was over the old
California trail and at the trading posts
on the way nuggets obtained from men
returning from California were exhibited
as coming from Pixies Peak. and this
naturally stimulated travel in that direc-
ton, to the pecuniary profit Of the trad
ers. The gold fever was also expert
enced at Fort Laramie, and the sutler
proposed to fit out a nephew in his en-
ploy and myself with stock of goods to
engage in trade at Pixies Peak and the
interpreter volunteered to accompany us
with his squaw and lodge, so that we
could set up housekeeping at once on ar
irving there and then put up shack for
store. We should have been the first
to begin trade on the ground and pro-
posed to stake some claims and looked
forward to making fortune. But about
that time l began getting letters from
home telling me of sister who had
had long illness from rheumatic fever
and had been ordered by her physician to
90 south for the winter as the only means
of restoring her health, and was want
ed to accompany her on the journey.
This was call that could not be unheed-
ed and l had to give up my dreams of
wealth and prepare for departure from
scenes and companionship enjoyed and
bandon life in the open that had proved
most attractive.

down, and was preparing to secure my
prize when Hunter, who had been un-

toward US. His sudden appearance
frightened the mustang and he made a
bolt and was off Our horses were too
much run down to think of pursuing him
and we went back to camp empty-hand-
ed. don't think ever forgave Hunter
for stampeding that mustang.
Then an old trapper and hunter told of
one of his adventures with the buffalo.
He said: "When first began hunting on
the prairies | reckon was little green.
One day l went out buffalo hunting by
myself. l had fine little horse and
galloped him right up to herd and pick
ing out the biggest old bull let him have
a bali in his side. He turned and went
off in sort of humping trot and loped
a fter him, giving him few shots from
my navy-six as l went. l was expecting
every minute to see him fall, but on COM
ing to break in the prairie he turned
on me. tell you what, he looked mighty
wicked. The hair stood up straight all
over him, and his eyes were just like fire
Goals. His mouth was wide open and he
breathed like steam engine. My horse
took scare and went right at him, and
had just time to pull my feet out of
the stirrups when the bull caught him on
his horns and J. went over the horses
head and landed on the buffalos back. l

back into the canyon. 1t was about
twenty feet deep, but landed on the soft
sand and wasn't hurt a mite. When l
got on my feet the old bull was coming
down after me, but gave him two more
shots from my old Colt" which settled
his hash right where he stood. My horse
was dead, and unbuckling the girth |
threw the saddle and bride over my
shoulder and walked to camp with the
old bulls tongue in my hand. -

Washington Letter.

The Incompetent Democratic Administra-
ton.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Oct, IL, 1916. "In ap-
pealing to the people to return the Republican
party to power we have confidence that the
record of incompetency of the present admin
istration will make impossible its continue
ance," declared Representative Thomas S.
Crago of Pennsylvania, in statement given
out by the National Republican Congressional
committee
Zone year and five months of Democratic
rule found the country with industries par
alyzed, the treasury almost bankrupt. our
rights over the Panama Canal surrendered,
wages reduced. the cost of living increased
and our army landed on Mexican soil without
excuse of justification" continued Representa-,
tive Crago. who is Past Commander in Chief
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Then the war with Europe The so-called
war tax appears, industry revives because of
war orders. high sounding diplomatic notes
written, the cry goes up, The President
has kept US out of war when in fact every
move he made weakened US in the estimation
Of other nations, for we committed acts of
war against weaker nation, Mexico, and
begged a servile truce with nations we knew
ere strong.
1.-The weakness of our foreign policies, the
record OF broken pledges, the surrender of our
rights, the useless expenditure of millions and
the hypocrisy of Democratic legislation is 80
broad that the patience of the American peo-
pie has been severely tested The Wilson adj
ministration went into power proclaiming
'pitiless publicity and it will leave branded as
a gum shoe, secret Cabinet regime.
1.-The public recalls the fiasco at Vera Cruz
and President Wilson's objectionable act in
lifting the embargo on arms that our soldiers
should meet death from guns furnished to as
sassins by permission of our own government.
In this so called peace more lives have been
lost and more money spent than we sacrificed
in the war with Spain. If we are at peace
should more than a hundred thousand of our
boys be paying the price of war, taken from
home and families, to play game of peace?
If we have been kept from war by any magic
of the President, then how does it happen
that Spain, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland,
Holland and Denmark, countries much nearer
the European conflict than we are, have been
able to maintain peace?
with great flourish of trumpets the DEM
ocrats assumed control, and their record is a
dismal recital of broken promises and unful-
filled pledges. The issues of this campaign
are:
First, tariff revision by the friends of a
protective tariff. and no twelfth hour CONVEX :
sion to the idea of tariff board can fool the
people.
Second, an Americanism which would put
the United States not only first among other
nations. but would protect US from forces
within which would destroy the foundation of
justice on which our government is founded.
Third, readjustment of the fiscal affairs
of the government to the end that the people
who pay the bills, shall have some say to
the amount and methods of expenditures"
