KILLING INSTEAD OF CURING.

Railroads will not reduce their
rates materially until the carriers
have the revenue necessary to sus-
tain them and until operating costs
are cut down, President Sproule of
the Southern Pacific Company de-
clared before the twenty-sixth an
nual convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Credit Men in San Fran
cisco.
These transportation agencies
now find themselves very much in
the same position as the birds and
the beasts which, in a state of ma

means of curing the sick, but of
killing it," he said THUS the agen-

DRY FARM YIELDS GOOD CROP.

Buck Chatfield, owner of one q
the best dry farms on upper Dead
Ok Flat, was in Payette, Tuesday
morning for additional sacks to
hold the grain being threshed on his
hanch about eight miles west OF
Payette. He reports an excellent
yield on his place. From las acres
of wheat and rye he has harvested
over 100 bushels of grain and 60
ton of grain hay. Buck is one of
those thrifty kind of men that will
make good any place, he has IA fine
bunch of cattle and can show more
net profits for his summers work
than many who are on irrigated
land. About ten cars of rye will
be threshed in his immediate neigh
borhood which is practically all be-
ing marketed by the Payette Mills,
at very satisfactory prices to tho
growers.

The Sick Miner.


Judge Ebert II. Gary, on his return
from Europe, discussed the English
coal strike at luncheon.
THE men demanded an uncondi-
tiOnal two-shilling increase" he said,
"but the government couldn't very
well grant them that, because each
former increase had been followed by
Il decrease Of output. So many miners
you see found that they could make
enough IN three or four days to keep
them all the week.

said:
