Influence Of tho "Great Circle' on the
Journey to Manila.
If you wanted to go from the Pana-
ma canal to Yokohama which of these
two would be the shorter route? First,
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama. or. second, up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia2
Nearly everybody would answer IN
favor Of the Hawaiian route But the
nuvlgutors tell us the journey Is 2G6
miles shorter by way Of San Francisco.
The great circle" does It. Its intlu-
encc on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way of the
Alcutmn islands, Actually our vessels
would so much farther north than they
do but for the Encouragement of the

Washington, which advises central

A CRUSH OF WORLDS.

How Our Solar System May End and
New One Be Born.
The whole Of the present solar sys-
tenn is ultimately to fall into the sun,
causing an explosion that may result
in new solar system. Such Is the
theory put forward by Professor Philip
Fauth, q we'll known astronomer,
whose reputation has rested principally
upon his researches into the conditions
on the moon.
The novel feature Of Dr. Fauth's the
ory Is that 1t Is based upon the suppo-
sitlon that great part Of the known
solar system, including especially the
planets Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn, are
not composed of mineral matter at all,
but are tremendous masses of Ice OF
balls of ice surrounding mineral ker'
mel. Furthermore, he declares, n part
of what Is now known rs the Milky
way is not mineral or gaseous, but "a
ring of ice dust" masses of particles
of ice suspended in space, the other
planets receiving constant addition
to their ice mass from this source.
Professor Fauth declares that the
world already at some remote periods
has had similar experience, resulting
In the death of nearly all animate ma
ture, and that all species of life as we
know 1t have arisen since then. Even.
tually the planets swinging through
their narrow orbits will fall into the
sun, causing n new explosion and per.
haps the birth of a new solar system,
but for thousands Of years before that
time, all life, either on earth or else.

Tha Public Service Commission

The Public Service Commission
has taken up the investigation OF ex.
press rates in Eastern Oregon as COL
leoted by the express companies on
milk, cream and dairy products. Tne
action on the part of the Commission
is brought about ty the fact that the
present rates on long hauls permits
Seattle TO draw large portion OF her
supply Of dairy products from points
as far distant as Snake River and
branch line points In Eastern Oregon.
The Commission finds that with cream
stations at Hallway, Whitney. Fern
dals, Union, Losline, North Powder
and Riohland, and cheese factory at
hallway, creameries at Ukiah, Enter
prise. LaGrande, ElRin and Redmond,
it is apparent that dairying is fast be-
coming an important industry in this
part Of the state. But the Commission
finds also that these industries have
not kept pace with the development of
other Eastern Oregon resources. How
ever, it is possible the Commission
will find upon investigation that the
rates now in force, or that may be
brought into force, by suoh action as
the Commission may take will but
slightly affect an increase in dairy
products. except in localities now CIV
en- over to dairying. The scope for
dairyinR In Eastern Oregon Is limited.
The sections devoted to grim raising
are primarily grain producing dis
triots, and have but little in common
with dairying except to some extent In
loual use. Eastern Oregon dairy In
6ustry is confined to creek bottom
land and irrigated tracts.

Rhinelander. - Lumber jacks, who

orders were issued at the camp of the

employees must take a steam bath in
the newly created steamroom, at least
once a week, have acolimated them
selves to the new condition.
A short time ago the company in
stalled electric wires in the lumber
camp train and the lumberjacks
kicked. They found that they were
no longer able to light their pipes, as
they dropped into their hunks, from
flames CT an oil lamp.
Next the company installed steam
heat and the lumberjacks objected to
this. 1t eliminated the old stove they
had been accustomed to collect
around and spit against.

a time threatened to strike. The in
