Canal Hurts Railroads. , "The opening of the Panama Oanul has taken much business from the ' railroads. If . we were in a position to extend our branch lines it would naturally increase traffic on our main lines and thus regain the loss of traf fic, but the investor in railroad seen- ritites has been frightened and it is almost impossible to - secure monuv for that purpose. 'Taxation it . has oeen saia, is tne power to destroy.' The 0.- W. B. & N. Co., is paying at i the rate of f 4,000. a day for this pur. : pose alone, or eight cents of every dollar received by the railroad is paid ' put in the form of taxes. There is one railroad in the Northwest which pays 17 cents of each dollar received in taxes. You would think that such a road would be in the hands of a re- - ceiver. Well, the one I have reference to, is. "T.he f u11 crew Jaw in effect in Washington; antl Orgon, : is costing! my company $6000 per month, without i any. adeauate return to t.h or the public.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas have been making their home temporarily with friends in the city since their return Friday night, until they can refurnish and equip their home. They are at a complete loss as to how to account lor the burglary, or why their home snoutd have been singled out for such a wholesale ransacking unless it was because of its isolation and the fact that there was no one there to guard the property was known to the mis creants. : He bad kept the wallet intact as a memento of bis escape. And one of the Journalists who was examining Its contents came, by, a curious coinci dence, upon a letter which be himself bad indited to the war correspondent some thirty or forty years ago, the very existence of wblcb be bad en tirely forgotten. In the letter he bad expressed the bope that bis friend would return safe and sound from the scat of war. The words "safe and sound" bud been al most cut uwuy by the bullet which, but for the provldeutlal interposition of the bundle of papers, would proba bly buve .ended the war correspond ent's life. Nottingham Guardian. ; Wilson's Appeal Benefits. 1 "President Wilson's messHirn wnm. ing the people that the railroads of we country were tacinc a crisis and requesting ell to refrain from placing additional burdens upon the carriers has already hud a good effect I feel encouraged to note that the people are beginning to realize that railroad prosperity means the nublic's nros- perity, and that sooner or later the sound 'policy of 'Live and lt liv' must be applied to the carriers if we are to enjoy a normal measure if prosperity. Commercial olubs are taking action by passing resolutions requesting their delegates in the leg islature to refrain from anti-railroad legislation and the reducing of taxes, by doing away with useless appropria tions and commissions." i . toiir of the United States.

Good farms und good roads go to gether. Good roads mean cheaper haul lug prices, better proBts therefore more money. The wealth of a nation Is the wealth of its population. - The population of the country of France is j Known to be the most thrifty, the least poverty stricken and the best provided for of any country In the world. And France bus a better road system and more good roads in proportion to Its area '.than any other country of the same or greater size. Has France ru ral wealth because of its good roads or bus it good roads because of its thrifty peasantry? . ' , ' ... . . . ; It Is, therefore, for us in this country to look upon France not only as a good example, but as the example of too fulfillment of dreams. We cannot solve our problem In any other way than as France has solved hers wits any surety of success. She builds her national highways first, owns thorn. controls them, repairs them.

Then, us one member of the profession to another, he asked him privately his opinion of the case.

(be most perilous places so long as they reumiu iu a state of som nambulism, but If suddenly awokeuet' they instantly lose their self Dosses- ion and balance. On one occasion a young woman 11 lng in Dresden was seen at niidnict walking on the edge of tfce roof ;of he. house. Her family were immediately told of her plight, but were afraid to go near her. The neighbors gathered about the house and placed mattresses aud blankets along the street In hopes mat tney might save her in case shA te. , ,.5r. . v , .; She danced for over an hour on the) slanting roof, apparently retaining her . Dniance without difficulty, and every nw nnd then she would advance to the edge aud bow to tbo slleut crowd standing many feet below her. : ' ; At last she climbed down on to the wide gutter which ran In front of the window through which she had come, with the evident intention of re-entering the house. The crowd watching her so intently drew a sigh of relief. But. unfortunately, her terrified rela tives, thinking to assist her. bad placed two lighted candles In the room near the window, and as she approached the light fell directly in her eyes. Instantly the shock awakened her. and she swayed back and forth in her perilous position: then, with a frlgbtful scream, sue fell headlong to the ground. She was fatally hurt and died in a few hours.
