During last year the United
States added 5723 miles ot line to
' its railway service, the total mile
age being now 209,855.
Dispatches have stated that over
900 men arrive at Fort Arthur
v every ten minutes. At this rate
the Japanesi will require many
: months' to kill off all of the Musco
vite soldiers.
. ' General Charles Dick, of Ohio,
has been elected to the United
: States Senate to succeed the late
Senator Hanna. It is now gener
ally believed that Governor Odell
will be the next Republican Na
tional Chairman.
It iB interesting to note that
there have been five importaut
wars between nations in ten years,
as follows : 1894, war between Ja
pan and China; 1S97, war between
Turkey and Greece; 1898, war be
tween the Uuited States and Spain;
1S98 1902, war between Great Bri
tain and South Atricau Republics;
1904, war between Russia and Ja
pan. Redheaded people are less sub-
iect to baldness than others. A
doctor explains the matter thus
; The hair of the redheaded is rela
tivelv thick, one red hair being al
most as thick as five fair or three
brown hairs. With 30,000 red
hairs the scalp is well thatol:ed,
whereas with the same number of
fair one is comparatively bald. It
takes nearly 160,000 fair and 105,
000 brown hairs to cover adequate'
y an ordinary head.
Of the five great irrigation
schemes that were favorably re.
ported and recommended for fur
ther investigation at the beginning
of 1903, by P. H. Newell, chief en
gineerof the United States reclama
tion service, two are repovted as
turning out well, two aB dubioup,
, and the fifth neutral. The projeote
were exploited on the Truckee Riv.
er, Nevada; on Salt River, Arizona;
on Milk River, Montana; on Sweet
water River,Wyoming, and on Gun
nison River, Colorado.
Every Boldierin the British army.
carries in his haversack what is
known as the "emergency ration,"
This consists of a Bmall tin cylin
der, similar to a pocket spirit flaBk
divided into oompartments. One
of these is filled with four ounces
of cocoa paste, and the other con
tains a similar quantity of concen
trated beef (pemmican). As Us
title implies, the ration is not to.
be used except in the case of the
direst necessity, and if consumed
in Bmall quantities it will main
tain strength for 36 hours.
If twelve persons were to agree
to dine together every day, but
never sit exactly in the same or
der around the table, it would take
them 13.000,000 years at the rate
of one dinner a day, and they
would have to eat more than 497,-
000,000 dinners before they could
get through all the possible ar
rangements in which they could
place themselves. A has only 1

More significant than all else is
the fact that the United States has
commenced this new century with
over 17,000,000 children in
school, over 15,000,000 of these in
the publio sohools children of the
plain people, of free, law-abiding,
self-respecting people, looking up
to no superiors, and masters of
their own lives; ohildren well fed,
well housed, well nourished, look
ing forward with dear, bright eyes
through the open gateways of
boundless opportunity in this free
republic, where the highest re
wards are to be won by individual
enterprise and where no wealth,
nor birtb, nor social position, but
the personal qualities of the man
himelf, whether he be rich or
poo', nre the sole title to the high
est distinction and the greatest
pc r.
At frequent intervals advice is
poured forth for the efpscial ben
efit of young men. Just now the
burden of the fongiis of the young
man's opportunity, Tho young
man and the old man never bad a
wider field nor more to tempt effort.
The main faoto's in the oase are
always the same industry, fru
gality, integrity, Any young man
who has been raised a pet and
wisnes to lead a better lite can
easily get into the way of doing so
by adherence to this system. The
West offers good opportunitks
The field is broad enough. Its
newness haB not worn off. Wages
are good. The demand is not for
the cheap man, .but for the capable
m n. "K( ,oiC3, oh, young man,

Aii American firm has made a
bargain with the Cuban govern
ment by which the firm is to raise
the wreck of the Maine from the
mud in Havana harbor for the
purpose of repairing the shattered
hulk suflioienlly to permit it to be
taken to the St Louis exposition,
wh -re it is to be displayed to the
curiou?, presumably lit so much
per head. This looks rather an
ambitious job to be undertaken
with the hope of reaping pecuniar ;
profits, and it is possible that the
report is an erroneous one. If it is
based on facts the question arises
whether the enterprising contract
tors alluded to have any right to
this mass of twisted steel in the
absence of a formal transfer of title
by the United States government.
Moreover there is also the question
wnetner it is eitner seemly or
decent to exhibit,, rs a sort of side
show, the remains of a national
vessel whose destruction caused the
death of nearly three hundred
Amerioan sailors.
Proper Treatment of Pneumonia,
Pneumonia Is too dangerous a disease
lor anyone to attemptto dontor himself,
aitnougQ ne may nave me proper rem'
edies at hand. A physician should al
ways be called. It should be borne in
mtnd, however, that pneumonia alwayB
resuitB irom a com or irom an attack
ot the enp, and that by ertvins Cham
berlain's Couth Remedy the threaten
ed attack may be warded off. This
remedy Is alBO UBed by physicians in
the treatment ot pneumonia with the
best results. Dr. W.J. Smith, o( San
ders, Ala., who is also a druggiBt, BayB

Cough Remedy and presoribins it In
my practice for the past six years. I

Klamath County Hews.
Klamath Falls ExpreBi.
Monroe Morean.of Fort Klamath
was in the Falls yesterday. He
reports 15 inches of snow in Wood
River Valley, but says there will
be plenty of hay to carry the stock
through. '
H. H. Fink.who recently arrived
in Klamath Falls from Idaho, and
who has been investing, quite ex
tensively in Klamath realty, was
joined by his family last Friday.
They bave commenced housekeep
ing in their new home on Main
street, until recently the property
of A. C. Beals.
Rev. Starr returned Friday from
Fort Klamath, where, with Rev.
Pepper, he conduoted a series of
meetings. Bad weather and worse
roads detracted considerable from
the attendance anticipated. Rev.
Starr reports the valley Hooded in
many plaoeB, the snow apparently
being afloat. The floors of some of
the houses in and about the Fort
were under water.
A contingent of the town'B
youngsters listened to a fatherly
discourse by the city attorney, in
private at his office one day last
week. They were there by special in
vitation and the town marshal ex
tended the invitation. These young
men verging into manhood, are not
devoid of the sense of propriety with
which their conduct, as young
gentleman, should accord. With
out doubt the attorney s talk will
prove salutary.

Professional Mourners.
In ancient times funcruls were fol

simulated the uppearance of the wild

but they group themselves at tho en

A farmer in Cumberland county wn
driving across a railroad track when
train killed both his horses nml
knocked hliu about ten rods oft his
course. In tho resulting suit for dam
ugos the plnlntlff was on the witness
stand, making out a good case, when
the defendant's lawyer asked him:
"Did you take any precaution before
driving upon the track?"
The witness seemed reluctant to an
swer, but, being pressed to do so, tlunl
ly stnnimered out:
"Waal, Bqulre, I took a little just a
couple or swallers, that's all."
This started a new lino of defense,
and It turned out that tho couplo of
