Koarburg, Oregon, January , t2l ItAILJlOAD IMPROVEMEKT. Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Execu tes, suy tha rallroada have no Inten tion of asking for another general Increase In rates. It might be an swered that therein they show good Judgment, because they would not get It anyway. But the point Is that, as Mr. Cuyler and other able railroad men recognize, they do not need It. There Is no convincing evidence yet that the ratea granted by the gov ernment are not high enough on an average, however short tbey niay come of providing a profit for par ..pillar railroads that are poorly man aged or that have been niismanaged In the paHt. The railroads were restored to their owners on March 1. 1819. Their ten months' record Is an excellent one, when everything Is considered. Under private operation they have moved a greater gross tonnage limn they ever moved before. They hove operated more efficiently as a whole and In neiirly every Important par ticular. The most obvious Improvement has been the increasing miluuge and heavlur loading of cars, making the average load 30 tons Instead of 28.2 tons, and tho average movement of a freight car per duy 28 6 miles In stead of 22.4 miles. These gains alone have furnished th eiiuivulunt of several hundred thousand new cars. The number of unmoved freight enrs has been diminished by 811.0(10. Mr. Cuyler estimate that the work ac complished. If it had been dependent entirely on new expenditures for cars, locomotives, etc., would hnve cost 12,000.000,000, which sum would have had to be passed along to the public. The actual expenditures for Improvements and new equip ment were only (COO, 000, 000. Thus there Is Indicated a clean saving of 11,500.000,000 by the application of greater energy and intelligence la the operation of the roads. It Is this fact which leads tho rail road executives to rest content with the present rates, though few of the companies are yet earning as much 8 tiie 6 per cent profit conteinplnted for the system as a whole when these rales were fixed. They realize thai they were slow in getting started last spring, and that the volume of busi ness has shrunk In recent months, and believe they are In condition to make profit enough when business brightens again. i iii r iii n VALUABLE CO-OPERATION The co-operation which we render is meeting the requirements of our customers has proven of value to them.

Many teachers of Kngllsh, in mo ments of discouragement, uuestloti I lie. possibility of imparting a taste for good literature to all children. II sometimes looks ns though people were born with or Without euch taste and that without It to start with they never acquire It. furthermore, some of the teaching methods enused by efforts to standardize high school snil grade work to meet college entrunre requirements have ucled as a cheek upon Interest in good hooks. Any thing which Is assigned ns a task has a tendency to become disagreeable to the youthful pupil. The school department of Youngs town. O., however, has I n brave enough to try nn experiment In sup plementary rending which Is now con siders successful. About 40 good books, adapted to the ages of pupils, were plured In each room of every grade In the schools, fcvery pupil was required to lake home and resil eight of these books in the course of the school year. There were certifi cates and gold reals for reading 10 books and for each additional five past that number. And there was i-enuiiy or two and a hair points on the resiling grade for failure to rend me eight. In spite of these nrhl trnry rules, the teachers managed ti keep the resiling out of the amies phere of despUed tasks, and most of the pun I In went to It with a growing eagerness, liver one-fourth of the read more than the eight hooks r quired Many of them are happily r-amiig goou u.ioss who had no booka at home.

Every year eighty million or more of these coins are made and put Into circulation Some of them return for redemption,-but the most of them are never seen again They are not extremely smooth nnd slippery, and their slight value should gain fnr them more care than Is given ordinary pins. Ono reason given is thnt they chnnge hands more than ordinary coins and are therefore subject to accidents, and owing to their villus are treated carelessly. The first American cent was coin d in 1 ,S7 and looked similar to the coins of the same value of later years in size and casting. Ihe rarerst coin of the cent value Is that of the Issue of 1799. It Is now said Ihnt the scarcity of that Issue Is Hue to the fact that a firm In Salem Mass.. which was then engaged In me slave trade, procured a large quantity of them, nnd after boring a large hole In them, sent to Africa. wnere tney were given to the chiefs in exonnnge for slaves.
